My wife swiped Douyin and signed up for a five-day and four-night group in Hong Kong, Macao and Zhuhai. Gather in Shenzhen, and set off early the next morning to take a bus to cross the customs.
A 44-seater bus, the whole group of 37 people, the tour guide numbered everyone, divided into 15 "families". The largest family is from Chongqing, with a team of nine brightly dressed "aunts". The rest are mostly the "family" of the husband and wife, and there are also friends who come with an appointment, and two men who are walking alone. During the roll call, the tour guide shouted: "Family No. 1, Family No. 2?" Everyone replied: "Here!" is also a simple and efficient management mode.
The nine-person group had an obvious advantage, and the two aunts got on the bus first and occupied all the seats in the first few rows. Then he yelled and beckoned his companion to get in the car. We got in the car and consciously walked backwards. A tall and well-built eldest sister also followed to the back row and said to another eldest sister who came with her, "Be quiet in the back." ”
It should be the practice of individual groups, and the seats selected at the first time are the seats that have been agreed upon in the next few days. There were 9 people sitting in the four rows behind us, and 6 of them were still "table mates" at the same table, and everyone gradually became familiar with it. The tall eldest sister is from Beijing, and her screen name is "Shi Da". The lower body is a pair of long pants with wide trouser legs, and the upper body is a dark tights, which makes the figure particularly slender. Wear a coffee-colored lady's hat and a black mask when you get out of the car, which should be sunscreened. She immediately talked happily with his wife, who also grew up in Beijing, 74 years old, 1.74 meters, she was a former Bayi women's basketball team, and Wang Zhizhi's mother was a teammate. I have undergone surgery for pulmonary nodules, pay special attention to exercise and health care, and run 5 kilometers every day. The diet is "168", that is, eating three meals in 8 hours and not eating for 16 hours. I said you should be a model and walk the cheongsam show. She said: "I've played and danced, and it's stinky." ”
A man surnamed Chen sat next door to me, from the ancient city of Xi'an. He has just retired, a cadre of a radar company, and I have many common languages in the military industry. I said why don't you sit with Madame. He smiled: "Be quiet." It can also be seen that his wife, who still has charm, guides him frequently and restricts him a lot.
The husband and wife in the front row, the man's surname is Song, a native of Harbin, strong and burly, but his hands were amputated, and he is a disabled person. Mrs. is a native of Sichuan, married to the Northeast, and took good care of her all the way. But Lao Song has a strong ability to take care of himself, and can use his amputated forearm to eat, smoke, go to the toilet, and use an iPad to send messages online. He was bombed while digging a tunnel thirty years ago, and he was a first-class crippled soldier. After adding WeChat, he sent me his hard pen calligraphy and a few small poems, which is amazing!
The group dispersed, and sometimes there were some contradictions, and the turmoil came out after coming down from Taiping Mountain. Because the bus went around a few times, Lao Song's wife was a little dizzy, and when she got on the bus, she sat in the front row with Lao Song. An aunt in a green coat in the nine-member group came up to take a look and was unhappy: "Why did you sit in my seat?" Lao Song was also not polite: "Speak with your tongue straight!" There are many people in the nine-member group, and they are talking badly. "Shi Dayi" couldn't listen anymore, and rushed to the front row to help Lao Song speak, and Lao Chen of the military factory also interjected: "His wife is dizzy, what's the matter with sitting for a while!" The tour guide hurriedly came over to play a round: "I will arrive at Repulse Bay in a while, and it will not affect sitting in the back row." The group of nine stopped fighting and quieted down.
Unexpectedly, after swimming on the beach, when I returned to the bus, because I was in a hurry to get on the bus, the green-clothed aunt of the nine-person group tripped over the car parking pile in the parking lot, and fell to the ground, holding the ground with her hands, and bleeding. After getting in the car, "Shi Dayi" took out a pack of Band-Aids from his bag, walked to the front, handed it to the aunt, and Lao Song's lover also went over to take a look: "You still sit in the original seat, let's go to the back row." The green-clothed aunt was embarrassed, and even said, "Thank you, you can sit here." ”
