Golden Fishery
698. Country bus
There was a huge pile of garbage piled up behind the small farm building. Qin Shiou and Dodo hugged the little bullies away and let the garbage truck go in to clean it up.
The little bullies looked dissatisfied and wanted to continue to show their bravery. Qin Shiou smiled and gave them a brain breakdown one by one, let them sit on the grass obediently, and began to teach them the first lesson in life .
The driver of the garbage truck was a middle-aged white man in his sixties. When he was about to leave, Mao Weilong said, "John Pu, I'm going to have a beer barbecue party here tonight. Do you have time? Come and join us, please?" "
The middle-aged white man smiled: "Of course, man, of course, everyone loves beer barbecue, even if I don't have time, I will find time."
When the white man John Pu left, Mao Weilong explained to Qin Shiou: "This is my neighbor in the south. People in the town call him Old John. He is very enthusiastic. He has the only garbage truck in the town, so he will help out regularly. Garbage. These days, he helps to dispose of the garbage on my side, no money."
"Damn, you met Canadian Lei Feng?" Qin Shiou said in surprise.
Don't look at him doing so well in the farewell town. In fact, when he first arrived on the island, although the townspeople were friendly to him, they would not help him work for free, because Canadians value equal payment. If you don't give People pay, why do people help you?
Mao Weilong said with a smile: "He usually charges for garbage disposal. I am a new customer. He said he would give me a little discount. The first half of the month is purely for helping."
"Of course. I didn't ask him to help in vain. I sent him some good tea and domestic specialties a few days ago, that's why he was so enthusiastic." Mao Weilong added.
afternoon. Liu Shuyan was going to the Hamilton supermarket to replenish supplies needed for the party at night, while Mao Weilong called to invite people he knew after coming to the town, and they were also welcome to bring friends to the dinner.
It takes a lot of money to start a farm and add property. Mao Weilong has never bought a car. The farmer used to have an old pickup truck, and he used that car to top up the money for the time being.
As a result, the old pickup didn't give face. It happened to be broken in the morning, so Liu Shuyan could only take the bus to Hamilton. She definitely can't carry it by herself, Qin Shiou asked Dodo to have fun with the little bullies, and he went to help.
"How about borrowing a car?" Qin Shiou asked, "You should have a good relationship with that John Pu, right?"
Liu Shuyan smiled wryly and said, "John Pu doesn't have a suitable car for us to drive. Apart from his agricultural vehicle, he is a garbage truck. Sometimes he drives a garbage truck when he goes to Hamilton."
Qin Shiou was in awe,
Fuck old man, why are you so *.
When it came to the relationship between neighbors, Liu Shuyan was a little helpless, and said: "We are only acquainted with the neighbors now. We don't have any friendship yet, so it is difficult to borrow a car."
This is true, Canadians are very emotional about their own cars. Because except for the city center, almost all places in this country are sparsely populated, and you cannot travel without a car. in addition. What if something happens to the borrowed car? The Canadian traffic police don't know the driver's license for the car. If the car has an accident, they will find the owner of the car.
No way, so I had to take the bus.
The reason why I choose to take a bus instead of a taxi is also a characteristic of Canada. Even remote towns have their own bus companies, but there are very few taxis.
for this reason. It is because a private car has become a necessity in every family life in Canada, as common as tableware. Except in big cities. Taxis are basically a pre-order service, and they come at a hefty price.
Liu Shuyan said that in their small town, the taxi fare that passengers have to bear is equivalent to the round-trip fare, and the cost of the return journey has to be counted on the passengers. It is because the Canadian towns are sparsely populated, and it is impossible for taxi drivers to attract customers on the return journey. .
Qin Shiou took the handbag and followed Liu Shuyan to the street outside the farm. The street was wide and straight, but there was almost no one there. Instead, Qin Shiou saw two reindeer trotting across the road.
The two went to stand under a wooden sign at the intersection of the street. Qin Shiou took the Canadian township bus for the first time, and he was still very curious. He looked at the number '0505' written on the wooden sign and asked curiously: "What's the matter?" And the serial number? Shouldn’t there be a station name?”
"No, township buses don't have station names, which is different from domestic ones. They all use the station numbers on the signs instead." Liu Shuyan patiently explained.
Qin Shiou was surprised and said: "No, what about the station announcement? Passengers all memorize these station numbers?"
"No, the driver will announce the station name."
Mao Weilong had no illusions about the old pickup for a long time. He bought a bus ticket before to deal with possible emergencies, and he used it today.
The price of bus tickets in Hamilton is relatively expensive. Adults are 3.5 Canadian dollars a piece. If you buy ten tickets at a time, you can get a 20% discount, and students can get a 50% discount. Liu Shuyan explained that you can usually buy them at the counters of supermarkets, pharmacies and convenience stores arrive.
Canada's municipal construction is very developed, which ranks high in the world. The performance of buses is that although there are not many people on a bus, the number of trips does not decrease.
Liu Shuyan came to wait for the bus while waiting for the bus. A few minutes after she and Qin Shiou arrived at the stop sign, an orange bus drove over.
Compared with domestic and big city buses, urban buses are characterized by small size, only the size of domestic minibuses, and use cheaper natural gas fuel, the purpose is to reduce transportation pressure.
There are only sixteen seats in this minibus, but the seats are relatively spacious and comfortable, which can be regarded as allowing passengers to earn back the high fare.
Qin Shiou found a seat and sat down, and said with a smile, "That's right, it's still a soft seat."
Liu Shuyan smiled and said, "This is the car of the 'Constellation Bus Company'. Their tickets are a bit more expensive, but they are more comfortable. They mainly target tourists. Many people like to take their cars to towns for sightseeing."
The car started, and only half of the sixteen seats were seated along the way. Qin Shiou watched the wheat fields, orchards, and pastures outside with great interest, feeling that everything was very fresh.
The minibus only drove into Hamilton and didn't go to the Wal-Mart supermarket they were going to, so they had to transfer.
Qin Shiou wanted to take a taxi, but there were more taxis after entering the city. Liu Shuyan said with a smile: "There is a light rail station in front of us, should we take the light rail? The one that goes directly to Wal-Mart is faster than a taxi."
Since the ladies say they want to take the light rail, of course Qin Shiou can't refuse. He wants to take a taxi not because he can't bear the hardship, but because he thinks it is more convenient and saves time. His memory of the light rail and subway is when he went to Kyoto and Shanghai on business. canned sardines. (to be continued)
