Chapter 207: Looking down at the crowd
It is most convenient for Huang Han now, because his home is only more than 100 meters away from the bus station, so he can get there within a short walk.
However, on the last night after returning, Deputy County Magistrate Jiang and Secretary Chen of the Education Bureau both called to report the situation in the provincial capital, which was equivalent to announcing good news.
After the bus pulled into the station, there were actually leaders from several counties and education bureaus and more than a dozen family members waiting to pick him up.
Cheng Shengli and his wife came, four came from Zhang Chunmei's family, Liu Xiaoli's family even sent their grandparents, a total of nine people came, and Qian Aiguo, who was carrying a guitar and wearing "Hui Alai" sneakers.
Huang Han didn't like to greet people and send them off, so he didn't use the radio station's phone number to call the briquette factory or the materials bureau.
There is no telephone installed in "The Things Come True Hotel". This matter is already under consideration. Qian Aiguo's mother, Song Danhua, can be asked to help with this matter next spring.
If it can be done for less than five hundred yuan, you can install one. If it exceeds the current price of an old house with three rooms and one kitchen, it is really not necessary. You might as well buy three houses and live there.
During this period, the road conditions are poor and there are few traffic police on the road. It is really impossible to determine the arrival time of the shuttle bus. We can only estimate it based on the departure time.
There are too many uncertainties, and sometimes you can wait for hours to pick someone up at the bus station.
Huang Han has such a memory. In 1991, he moved to the station in the southern suburbs of the county to pick up his sister who came home from Hangzhou for the New Year.
It stands to reason that the bus that arrives at around six o'clock in the morning will arrive around four o'clock in the afternoon, and finally waits until ten o'clock in the evening.
And there was nothing we could do. Even the staff at the bus station didn't know where the bus was. The relatives who picked it up could only wait and pray in their hearts that the bus would never cause an accident on the road.
The era without mobile phones was really inconvenient. Huang Han didn't object to the slow pace of 1981. The most inconvenient thing was that he couldn't contact his family at any time.
Huang Han, who didn't expect to see his family, stepped off the bus and was surprised to see Huang Daozhou holding the little girl, and Huang Xin waving.
What's going on? Why are so many people picking up the station?
Huang Han, Shen Xiaorong, etc. who got off the bus attracted the attention of many melon-eaters.
Upon inquiry, it turned out that several students from Sanshui County Experimental Primary School went to the provincial capital to record songs so that they could be played on the radio next week.
"Wow! It turns out that the singing actor is back. Come on, go and see what the actor looks like."
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
"Hey, hey, why are you all crowding into the station?"
"Look at the actors, the actors who went to the radio station to sing are back!"
"What actor? Is it Liu Xiaoqing?"
"I don't know, it's possible!"
"Ah? Liu Xiaoqing came to our county and just got off the bus!"
The people are kind-hearted and they did not spread rumors, but rumors started to spread like this.
As a result, more and more people gathered.
The bus station is always a place with dense crowds of people, and because this simple bus station is planned to be relocated, it is not closed at all, and anyone can come in.
There are hundreds of people waiting for the last bus to go to Yangzhou, Taizhou and other places, and a few farmers' buses have just arrived at the station to drop off passengers.
We were driving to Yangzhou at this time, and all the buses in Taizhou were large buses with two carriages. There were few buses. When we drove back to Sanshui County in the afternoon, they were basically packed, with maybe one or two hundred people in one bus.
Passengers and people picking him up heard the fake news that Liu Xiaoqing was here, and more than a thousand people immediately came to watch.
One to two percent of them knew that they were young actors from the Experimental Primary School who went to the province to sing and came back, and most of them just listened to the rumors and just joined in the fun.
Shen Jianguo did not come to pick up his daughter, but Qin Shuzhen came. Seeing so many people gathered around her, she was worried about her safety and held Shen Xiaorong in her arms.
Qian Aiguo, who was carrying a guitar, was crowded and had already joined Huang Han. He was happy to see so many people gathered around him, rolled up his sleeves and said
"Brother, don't come forward, follow me and Cheng Wenge, we will squeeze to your father's place!"
Huang Han shouted, "Dad, sister, you are being squeezed in. Pick up the little girl so you don't get hurt by being squeezed."
The crowd was like crazy, they were still moving forward blindly, and I don’t know if Huang Daozhou heard it.
Joining in the fun is a common problem among Chinese people. Huang Han once encountered a stampede incident.
It was the year before last year, I must have been eight years old at the time. The experimental elementary school organized the students to go to the stadium to watch the circus on Sunday. When the show ended, for some reason, chaos suddenly broke out.
Huang Xin and Huang Han were separated by the crowd. Huang Xin found that her younger brother was missing. She heard that more than a dozen children were trampled and injured and sent to the hospital. She was so frightened that she ran home crying all the way.
Finally, it was discovered that Huang Han and Liu Xiaoming came back first. Huang Xin was immediately furious and started beating Huang Han randomly, which made Huang Han feel aggrieved.
Huang Han and Liu Xiaoming were lucky. They just felt a little crowded and had no idea what was going on behind them. Of course, they couldn't understand why their usually gentle sister got violent and hit someone.
Huang Xin and Li Mei were sitting together and walking a little slower. They happened to witness the stampede and it was understandable that they were frightened.
After this incident, the former branch secretary and principal of the experimental primary school were punished and transferred. They should have gone to a certain township primary school.
The principal and teachers should be dealt with. If they had a sense of responsibility and ordered the students to leave in order of class and grade, this accident could have been completely avoided.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, also because of the limited weight of the children, only two or three of the dozen children were seriously injured, and no one was trampled to death or disabled. Otherwise, this incident may have a greater impact.
That is to say, because of the incident, any future Sanshui County leaders who attend any event will notify the Public Security Bureau in advance to send people to maintain order.
There are so many people crowding around today, so there is no guarantee that something will happen. There are also family members there, so of course we have to take precautions.
Huang Han said to Deputy County Magistrate Jiang and Secretary Chen who led the team
"County Magistrate Jiang, Secretary Chen, you and the leaders form a circle and stay there for the time being. Cheng Wenge, Qian Aiguo, I, and I will attract the crowd."
Then he said to Teacher Xiao Han, "Teacher Han, please watch our salutes."
Obeying authority when the matter was urgent, Huang Han didn't care whether they agreed or not, and said loudly, "Chengwenge, don't stand still, your singing and playing will be attractive. Qian Aiguo, don't just stand there! Play the guitar and roar at the top of your lungs."
Qian Aiguo is as strong as an ox, so he is not afraid of being crowded by crowds! He was also watching the excitement. When Huang Han called his name to remind him, he scratched his head and smiled.
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of the piano, and a boy suddenly let out a "ouch", which immediately caused the crowd to stop moving and the sound became much quieter.
Huang Han took the opportunity and shouted, "Everyone, be quiet. Don't crowd. We did go to the province to sing and record. Make a way for us. We will stand on those floors and say a few words to everyone."
In a corner of the bus station, dozens of cement prefabricated floor slabs are stacked against the courtyard wall.
Because they were afraid of being unsafe, the floor slabs were piled not too high, eight pieces in a pile, and the height was about a little more than one meter. After Cheng Wenge and Qian Aiguo pulled Huang Han up and stood up, Huang Han said loudly
"Uncles and aunties, please don't crowd around, be sure to keep an eye on your children, pick up your luggage, and take a good look around you.
I seem to have seen a thief, that one with a sinister look."
This trick was so effective that within a minute the crowd was no longer jostling each other because they were all looking to see who the thief was.
