Escaping Fare
On the No.1 bus.
Zhang Zheng stuck closely behind Xu Jingping, swaying his body to the rhythm of the bus.
This was the bus from Zhengyang Gate to Temple of Heaven Park. Since the two of them did not have any means of transportation, Xu Jingping could not bear to take a taxi, so he could only take the bus.
At this time, the bus was about to reach the Temple of Heaven Park. Zhang Zheng suddenly thought of a problem and whispered to Xu Jingping,
"Jingping, I changed all my money into foreign exchange certificates just now. I don't have any change on me.”
Knowing that he was going shopping with Xu Jingping today, Zhang Zheng brought all his savings, 12,000 yuan.
As a result, he had exchanged all his money for foreign exchange certificates in order to enter the Friendship Store. As a result, he was penniless now. He could not even take out a dime for the bus.
When Xu Jingping heard this, his expression changed." I came out in a hurry. I didn't bring my money and monthly tickets. I'm going to check my tickets soon. What should I do?"”
"Don't panic. I'll think of a way." Zhang Zheng looked at Xu Jingping who was at a loss and looked like she was about to cry, and quickly comforted her.
Closing his eyes and thinking for a few seconds, Zhang Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and whispered into Xu Jingping's ear,
"Jingping, don't say anything when we arrive at the station to check the tickets.”
Because the two of them were too close to each other, Xu Jingping felt as if something was scratching his ears when Zhang Zheng spoke.
She felt itchy and numb. She had even forgotten about the ticket inspection. She nodded with a flushed face.
"We have arrived at the Temple of Heaven Park. Those who get off the bus, show your monthly ticket. Those who don't have a monthly ticket, come and buy a ticket!”
At this moment, the ticket inspector auntie shouted loudly on the bus.
Xu Jingping felt a little nervous. The hand holding Zhang Zheng was slightly trembling. He didn't know how he would solve this matter.
The two of them followed in the crowd. When they wanted to get off the bus together, the ticketing auntie noticed them with her sharp eyes and said to them,
"Hey, do you two have monthly votes?"
When Zhang Zheng heard this, he shouted angrily,
"We already showed you just now. Have you forgotten?”
"Is that so? Why don't I remember? Show it to me again.”The auntie stared at the two of them suspiciously.
Seeing that Zhang Zheng was telling the truth, she believed him a little. However, out of her job responsibilities, she insisted on reading it again.
Zhang Zheng took out his work pass and pretended to be impatient.
"Are you so annoying? I've already seen it just now. This is my work pass. Open your eyes and take a good look. I'm a proper train attendant. Why would I lie to you over such a small matter?”
The middle-aged woman glanced at Zhang Zheng's ID and confirmed that it was real. Then, she touched the back of her head with a blank expression. Could it be that her memory had deteriorated due to her old age?
The others 'faces were already filled with impatience. They also chimed in,
"Hurry up, we're all in a hurry to go home!”
"That's right. Would a government official lie to you about a dime?”
"That's right. Don't waste any more time. There are so many people waiting here.”
……
Xu Jingping was extremely nervous. This was the first time she had done something like this. She could feel her heart beating rapidly.
She quietly tugged at Zhang Zheng's sleeve and whispered into his ear,
"Brother Masako, will your words work? Will people believe you?”
"Don't worry, it'll definitely work. Moreover, the other party might even have to apologize to me.”Zhang Zheng saw that Xu Jingping was really too nervous. It was probably her first time doing such a thing, so he smiled and comforted her.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the ticket inspector say in embarrassment," Comrade, I'm really sorry to have wasted your time. I remembered wrongly just now.”
When Xu Jingping heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Fortunately, Zhang Zheng poked her in time to remind her.
"Alright, next time!" Zhang Zheng waved his hand and pretended to be unhappy. Then he took Xu Jingping's hand and left.
After a few steps, Zhang Zheng pulled Xu Jingping and ran all the way to the entrance of the Temple of Heaven Park in one breath, afraid that the ticket auntie would react and settle the score with him.
"Brother Zhengzi, I was scared to death just now. I didn't expect that auntie to really apologize to you like you said.”
Xu Jingping, who had stopped, calmed his breathing slightly and patted his chest with lingering fear.
Zhang Zheng glanced at the car lights that were moving up and down because of her breathing and smiled." That's right. As long as you're righteous, the other party will think that you're in the wrong.”
This kind of thing was only useful in this era. The auntie was also caught off guard by him. If she was fooled, she might react later.
"Brother Masako, you look so skilled. Tell me honestly, have you done this kind of thing several times?
Xu Jingping felt that Zhang Zheng was acting too naturally, so he couldn't help but question him.
"No, it's my first time doing this. You know me. A young man who loves his country and his family would not do such a thing if he had no choice.”
Zhang Zhengyi flatly rejected Xu Jingping.
Xu Jingping pursed his lips," Pah, you're still a good young man? Shameless!"”
Then, she walked happily towards the Temple of Heaven Park.
