Natural beauty, inspirational nature

Chapter 61 Give yourself a holiday

After being forced to resign, for a few days, I was a little depressed, lamenting that this year's career fortune was like riding a roller coaster, with climaxes and ups and downs.

When the boss thinks you are valuable, he can lift you up to the sky. When the boss thinks you are not valuable, he can kick you away at any time without looking at you.

So I quickly cheered up and told myself: It's okay, there is still a long way to go in life.The ancients studied hard for ten years to become the number one scholar and became an official of the emperor. It’s not the same. When the fortune is in full swing, the emperor is happy and thinks that you are talented, loyal, and a pillar of the country. When you develop your ambitions and your fortune is bad, you serve the country loyally and give good advice, but it doesn't suit the taste of the emperor and Lao Tzu. When the emperor gets angry, he will demote you to a commoner.

I shrugged my shoulders in self-deprecating manner, and said to myself: Nothing is flattering or humiliating.I "enjoy" what life "gives" to me.

I stretched my waist and looked at the "whooping" ships passing by the canal outside the window, and suddenly a thought flashed in my mind:
It's already November, and the end of the year is approaching, and it's the off-season of recruiting when you can't find a good job at half past one. Instead of waiting at home and frowning, it's better to go wandering far away before winter comes.

In the past, I always worried about 365 days a year. Apart from the short winter vacation and the November and May Day holidays, there were no other long holidays to look forward to.Now when I have no expectation to take a vacation, have no expectation to enjoy life, and just want to work hard and make a career, the "holiday" that God sent came.

Hehe, this is probably the legend in the legend that the more you want something, the less you have it, and the less you want it, the more God will arrange for you a bloody life.

Well, Cheng Yifei, this may be God's will, so this time we will follow God's will and take a trip as soon as we say it.

I can't help but hear a song "I want to go to Guilin" I heard when I was a child: "I want to go to Guilin, I want to go to Guilin, but when I have time, I don't have money; I want to go to Guilin, I want to go to Guilin." Go to Guilin, but I have no time when I have money."

When I was young, I didn’t feel much about singing, but I just felt that the lyrics sounded smooth and the music melody was catchy. After all, at that time, I felt that the distance was just an unattainable dream.

When I grow up, I understand that there are beautiful scenery and poetry in the distance, so everyone yearns for the distance, but without money and time, you can't reach the distance.The two major prerequisites for traveling are money and time, and neither will work without it.

Guilin has the most beautiful scenery in the world. Guilin has always been one of the most beautiful tourist attractions in my dream since I was a child.In the past, I always had no time, and I always felt that wandering far away alone was a bit too lonely, so I always thought that I would find a lover who will go both ways in the future, and when I have enough money in my pocket, I will embark on a romantic relationship between two people. It's not too late.

But the current situation does not allow me to think too much, there is a voice in my mind telling me: let's go, let's go, yes, it is now!Now is a great time to live out your childhood dreams.This opportunity is a gift from God. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

I have already been forced to lose my job. Instead of being sad and worrying, staying at home and frowning, it is better to go out and see the outside world, appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, change my mood, and then come back and continue to work hard.

In the past few years, I have been living a life like a roller coaster. Every time I was about to climb to the clouds, I would be thrown into the bottom of the valley by fate, and every time I fell to the bottom of the valley, I would try my best to climb up again.

Sometimes I really admire my tenacity of not admitting defeat. Although this time I jumped into a big pit when I jumped into a job, but thinking about the good, I have accumulated another experience in the workplace. It seems miserable, but it is actually very rewarding .I firmly believe that these trials in the workplace and these setbacks in life will eventually make me stronger as long as they don't break me down.

So I didn't want to see myself sad and devastated, so I decided to give myself a week off from that moment.The trip to Guilin should be regarded as a reward for myself who has worked hard for my career this year.

Now I just need a little money and a lot of time, I have no reason to persuade myself to stop, so I happily reached an agreement with myself: "Right now, immediately, immediately, I want to have a talk Just go on a trip!"
I started to search for some must-see tourist attractions in Guilin on Ctrip. I also basically understood the means of transportation and transportation routes that I need to take to each attraction, and carefully recorded them with a pen.

Since "Captain of China" aired, I have been a little afraid of flying. Even though everyone told me that flying is one of the safest ways of transportation, I still don't feel at ease.Probably because of psychological effects. I am afraid of heights, and I always feel that taking the high-speed rail is more practical, so I finally chose to take the high-speed rail from Changzhou to Guilin, and the transit station was Wuhan.

In the evening, I packed all my luggage. I brought a black suitcase and a pink backpack. In the suitcase, I put a few sets of sweaters and coats for autumn and winter. In case the weather suddenly turned cold, I also brought a set of autumn clothes and long johns. .

Waking up early the next morning, the moment I got on the high-speed rail, I felt very happy. I was not lonely, but only the excitement of "traveling the world with my sword".I took a picture of my bright smile on my mobile phone, and as the train ran, my heart also flew to the distant Guilin.

The train passed through Wuhan briefly and changed trains at this station.

This was the first time I saw the high-speed rail station in Wuhan. I excitedly ran outside the square and looked into the distance.

Looking around, this legendary heroic city stands tall and flourishing, giving me a sense of sight of "imposing and vigorous".

But because I was about to catch the next train, I didn't stop any longer. I quickly took a panorama of the appearance of Wuhan Station Square and posted it on WeChat Moments. The changing train left.

At that moment, I didn't know that a "natural disaster" had sneaked into this central city that was very strange to me and just passed by next month.

I also did not expect at all that after this trip, I have never had the opportunity to walk so freely and freely on the road to a distant place for three years.

After riding the train for a day, at five or six o'clock in the evening, I finally arrived in Guilin, Guangxi.That mood was really exciting. After getting off the high-speed rail, I navigated to the B&B hotel I booked on the app in advance, and found that the B&B was very close to the station. The navigation stopped in front of a building a few hundred meters away, and told I have arrived at my destination.

The building has more than 40 floors, and this hotel is on the middle floor.It may be that I have been used to wandering in foreign lands for so many years. I have been to many cities in China. I found that each city has its own unique taste, but there are many similar attributes.As long as you have mastered the basic skills of urban life and use modern communication and transportation, you will not feel unfamiliar anywhere.

After checking in at night, I started to plan the itinerary for the next day. I originally wanted to take a bus at my own expense to go to Qiongyou, but I am not a local after all. Guangxi is very big, and many scenic spots are far away. I don’t know much about these attractions, and it’s not safe for a girl to travel alone, so I decided to travel with a group.

I chose a "two-day tour" tour group with a price of [-] to [-] on Ctrip. For the two-day itinerary, one day of the itinerary is to stay in a hotel with the group, and the accommodation and meals are included in it.

The places to go basically cover all the famous scenic spots from Guilin to Yangshuo.To avoid rushing the itinerary, I chose the group that started the tour the next day.Because I want to leave enough time for myself in one day, so that I can go around in GL city by myself.

The next day I woke up early, took the bus from the station to the tourist area of ​​Guilin, and found a cheap and cheap homestay near the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas.

As soon as I entered the door, I felt a strong folk style with Guangxi characteristics.Simple wooden doors, simple tea tables, brick-colored teapots and cups on blue printed tablecloths, a small rockery with gurgling spring water and curling mist beside Zhuozi, even the shape of the "cash counter" is specially designed Become a stake with entwined branches and branches.Above the cash register hangs the skull of a bull's head.

After I entered the door, I waited for a long time for no one to show up, so I called the owner of the hotel, but no one answered the phone.I had to sit on the sofa by the tea table and wait.

After a while, a man's head came in from the door. I thought it was the boss who came back, so I said: You are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time.I'm here to check in.

The man smiled and said, "I'm not from here. I'm their neighbor. Isn't anyone at home?"

I told him that I waited for a long time and no one came, and no one answered the phone, so he started to pick up his mobile phone to make calls for me, but he couldn't get through to the boss, so he called his wife for me.

His wife knew that there was a guest coming, so she ran home excitedly. She said that the boss had something to do, so she took me to the room on the second floor. I think the B&B with more than 100 yuan is quite a deal. The room is not big but It's fairly tidy and clean, the back of the bed is the kind of wooden hollow plywood, and the totem patterns unique to ethnic minorities on the quilt look very ethnic.

After I put down my luggage in the room, I decided to go out for a walk.

When I went downstairs, the boss came back and saw a new customer, so he asked me enthusiastically: "The beauty is here to travel, where are you going?"

I said, "I want to go to the Sun and Moon Twin Pagodas."

He said: "It's 2 kilometers away from here. Waiting for the bus is very troublesome. Why don't I drive you there directly by electric car."

I said, "Okay, thank you so much."

The boss drove me in an electric car and introduced the scenic spots of Guilin to me enthusiastically. He said: "Have you seen it? The scenic spot you are going to is on the opposite side of the river. There are many scenic spots stretching for several kilometers. You can go slowly. Take a slow stroll. There is an ancient street over there, and you can also buy tourist souvenirs. I will soon get a tour guide certificate this year, and I can drive you to travel by then. When you return to your hometown, help me promote us more hotel."

I was in a good mood and said with a smile, "Okay, no problem. Definitely!"

After getting off the bus, I went straight to the opposite side of the river on the flyover, and then the navigation seemed to fail at this time. Every scenic spot showed that it was only one or two kilometers away from me, but if you walked further, it told you that you had gone far , I was a little dumbfounded, and sighed: Alas, it seems that this place can't do without a tour guide.

But immediately I changed my mind, it would be better to just wander around randomly, so I simply followed the crowd wherever I went.Then I really went to the ancient street introduced by the boss.

The structure of the ancient street is similar to that of the ancient towns in Suzhou and Hangzhou. There are many small workshops and various Guangxi snacks along the road.

Guangxi in November, although it has also entered late autumn, is not as cold as I imagined. I was walking on the road wearing a sweater and coat, and even felt a little sweaty.

Passing by the door of a cheongsam shop, I was attracted by the dazzling array of cheongsams in the store.I have an inexplicable feeling about cheongsam. I can't walk when I see special materials or novel styles.

I glanced around the store, and a cyan cheongsam caught my attention. The cyan cheongsam was printed with red flowers. The double-layer suit has a certain thickness, which is suitable for this season.

The two sides are slit, revealing the inner layer of green spun gauze skirt, which adds a touch of smart and elegant atmosphere to the cheongsam.

The cheongsam I have seen in the past did not have this style, but the traditional double-sided or single-sided slit, and then the person who wears it will faintly reveal the calf. Although it is sexy, it is not suitable for daily wear, because it is easy to wear out and looks It is also too formal and charming, more suitable for stage catwalks.

The design of this skirt not only continues the traditional curved cheongsam design style, but also adds a tulle design on this basis, which just ensures that the wearer will not be exposed, and also makes the wearer look special. Elegant fairy air.

I tried it on, and the store praised its beauty. All the customers in the store looked back at me with envious eyes. I saw myself in the mirror, dignified and elegant. The dark green made my skin more fair and bright. The cheongsam The streamlined design makes my figure even more uneven.

When I turned around and walked, the tulle skirt swayed slightly with my body, and the walking was extraordinarily light, with an ethereal feeling of walking among the clouds.

The store then introduced me a purple cloak. The cloak is a standard Tang suit style. It is said to be a cloak. In fact, the tailoring style is very similar to a thin coat, but the hem is looser, and the waist is cinched in the middle. The golden dragon and phoenix auspicious picture, the pattern is circular, the left and right semi-circles are symmetrical, and there is a simple button in the middle, which will form a complete circular pattern after being buttoned.

In this kind of weather, if you only wear cheongsam sooner or later, you will feel a little chilly, but if you put on a purple cloak, the temperature is just right, and the whole person is full of classic temperament.

If I don’t buy something that I like and suits me, I think I will regret it. I bought both of these two clothes without hesitation.

Before dawn at four or five o'clock the next day, I got up, put on the new clothes I just bought, packed my luggage, and prepared to join the large group of tour groups by the bridge.

The owner of the store knew that I was going to travel with a group early in the morning, so he also woke up early.Guangxi people are very simple and hospitable. He is the most responsible hotel owner I have ever met. The night before when he learned that I was going out early in the morning, he told me: Sister, you can’t get a taxi this early in the morning. You, I will send you there.

He sent me to the bridge, and seeing if there was still time, he took me to a breakfast restaurant by the bridge for breakfast.

There is no rice for breakfast in Guangxi. In addition to vermicelli, this shop still has vermicelli, such as pork offal noodles, beef noodles, Guilin rice noodles, old friend noodles, three delicacies noodles, pickled cabbage fish noodles, cold salad noodles, snail rice noodles, rice rolls.
I was a little confused when I saw it. We Jiangsu people don’t have the habit of eating noodles in the morning, but when we go to the countryside, I can only order a bowl of noodles.
