My family is in Weiyang District, Xi'an City, and my university is in Huxian County. It is less than 40 kilometers from home to school, but it is really not easy to travel back and forth by car. My father is an "old safety" and a national registered safety engineer. So my way to school was selected by him after investigations one after another.
When I first entered college in 2015, my bus route was from home to Chengnan Bus Station, and then to Huxian School. Go to Chengnan Passenger Station and cross the zebra crossing six times, and when you go home, go out of the east gate of Chengnan Passenger Station, or cross the motorway that is rushing to the bus station twice, or cross the zebra crossing once, and then walk more than 400 meters with few people and trees. The sidewalk to the bus station. At that time, I left home to study for the first time. I was timid, with a big bulging schoolbag on my back, and I was worried when I went out. So, when I go to school on weekends, my parents send me to Chengnan Bus Terminal, but they can't pick me up when I go home on Fridays, after all, they have to go to work.
When I woke up one Saturday morning, my father was not at home. My mother said that my father went to swim for food (digestion after meals), but he didn't come back until it was almost dark. Although it is a look of exhaustion, it is full of joy. He said that when I go home in the future, I will get off the Xihu Expressway at the student apartment station of the University of Petroleum, then take the No. 44 bus and get off at the TV Tower station, go up to the overpass, get off the overpass on the left side, enter the subway station through the A2 entrance, and take No. 2 By subway, get off at Fengcheng 5th Road. This way you can't walk across the zebra crossing, so it's very safe. My father spoke clearly, but I was confused because I am not sensitive to numbers, and my sense of direction is even worse!
In order for me to remember this route home as soon as possible, we set off early on Sunday afternoon and walked this route in person. On the flyover, my father repeatedly reminded me of the symbol of the TV tower. On the Friday morning when I got home, my father re-described the line on his mobile phone and drew a schematic diagram. But unfortunately, when I went home that day, there were so many people on the No. 44 bus. I only saw the overpass but not the TV tower. I took two extra stops and couldn't find the subway entrance. Fortunately, others rescued, otherwise they would be "lost"!
Under the leadership of my family, after two months of "intensive training", I finally memorized the route. But the good times don¡¯t last long. Due to road maintenance, the route of Xihu Expressway has been changed. Instead of passing the student apartment station of Petroleum University, go south from Dongyi Road. I have to get off at Electronic Zhengjie Station, and there is no 44 bus at this station. car. I sigh, the journey is difficult!
Father stopped talking and his face was so long that neither my mother nor I dared to ask. When sending me to school, my father also bought him a ticket to Hu County. From the moment the bus left the station, he recorded on his mobile phone the route the vehicle passed, where it turned, the red and green lights, and the zebra crossing. For the next three days, my father left early and returned late every day. No matter what my mother asked, he just said "addicted to driving".
Hard work paid off, and he found a second bus route.
Depart from home when going there, take bus No. 618 at Youjiazhuang Station on Weiyang Road, get off at Zhuquemen Station, transfer to Bus No. 204, get off at Electronic Zhengjie Station, and go directly to Xihu Expressway. In the two transfers, get off and get on the bus, but the zebra crossing is very safe. Furthermore, Zhuquemen Station is the second stop of bus No. 204, and Electronics Center Street Station is the third stop of Xihu Expressway, both of which have seats.
The route to go home is to get off at Electronic Zhengjie Station on Xihu Expressway, transfer to bus No. 204 and walk 4 stops, and transfer to bus No. 618 at the Cancer Hospital Station. In the two transfers, get off and get on the bus, but the zebra crossing is also very safe. There is also the Cancer Hospital Station, which is the starting point of the No. 618 bus, and there are seats.
The second route chosen by my father is really good, but there are zebra crossings and there are seats, but traffic jams occur from time to time and it takes too long. After more than a year of training, I also started to explore myself. After many failures, the best route was finally found. Enter the subway station from Fengcheng 5th Road, take Line 2 and get out at the TV Station, take other buses and get off at Electronic Zhengjie Station, then take the Xihu Expressway, and go home the same way. Because I had to cross the zebra crossing once, my mother would send me off every time. We also kept this matter a secret and refused to tell my father. But later he found out, he didn¡¯t say anything, he just stuffed a few packs of masks into my schoolbag, asking me to wear a mask in the subway to avoid infectious diseases.
The third route my father studied was to take the bus (117, 600, 609, 618) to Beimen Station, then transfer to the No. 6 bus to Xiwan intersection, and take the Xihu Expressway. This route is also very convenient, but black car drivers are very disturbed, so unless my family is with me, my father will never allow me to take this route alone.
After the opening of the Xi'an-Chengdu high-speed rail, I heard that I could take the high-speed rail back to Xi'an, so I wanted to try it myself, but my father was determined not to allow it. He said that he would talk about it after taking me for an internship, but he was too busy to take care of it for the time being. I sat with others a few times, and I sat alone a few times, thinking that the route was familiar. 2When school started in 2018, my parents sent me to school. I am proud to say that I took them to take the high-speed rail. Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the high-speed rail station, I lost my father, and I couldn't seem to find the entrance. I was so anxious that I almost cried and found that my father was back again. He said I was going in the wrong direction again, I was supposed to go in the direction of the station, but I was going in the direction of the station. I'm so confused, I've sat down several times, how come I haven't even figured out such a question!
One weekend afternoon, my father dragged and dragged me to the high-speed rail station for an on-site training. I really don't know, it turns out that the high-speed rail station is divided into North Square and South Square, and the buses in the two squares are different. I finally understood that sometimes I could only see bus No. 266 after I got out of the station, and sometimes I could only see bus No. 263. It turned out that these two buses departed from South Square and North Square respectively.
Today, I have stepped out of the sight of my parents, stepped into the workplace, and worked hard alone. They constantly remind me to pay attention to safety. Although I am naive, I will keep in mind what my parents taught me, keep safety in mind, and walk more steadily
