Scheduled in accordance with the schedule few days ago, today have to follow the boss went to Suzhou to visit some customers. Make the appropriate preparatory work habits but also did not forget to disguising themselves as career women. In shopping malls in the hard work, we must first arm themselves physically and mentally. In fact, I know myself, I do not like the competition of life. Only hope that flies by pragmatism. Looking back a year ago, I had a great comfort. . . But then the choice of fate made me helpless career now, and sometimes even I had to admire his perseverance. Over the past year, busy living, but never felt tired, perhaps hardly notice it.
Boss is a strict, almost harsh man, so come out from the company, we do not have much speech. Shanghai to Suzhou, about 2 hours away. Yishang Che, he immersed read newspapers, I looked out the window lost in thought. For the first time to Suzhou, to that I have given Menghun pull around the place, ah, I thought some excitement. . . Suddenly heard the boss of the driver, said: "Please open to the Tiger Hill." I Yileng: Tiger Hill bar does not seem to customers. . . I looked him a look. Oh, he had smiled at me, speaking very different tone with the past: "I could see over the past year you have been in hard work, you are so very hard, and today I put you a day off! Suzhou, some good attractions, such as: Tiger Hill, Cold Mountain Temple, Humble Administrator's Garden. you will, be properly relax it. "He seemed to expect to my surprise, some proudly smiled, revealing a lovely two front teeth so I suddenly remembered the singer Richie Jen. . . For this sudden remark, indeed, I moved. But the work is responsible for heart need to be aggressive, I am tactful declined his good intentions. But he did not me to change his decision, but also from the inside out of a stack of bills into the wallet in front of me, command like: "I go back to pick you up after dealing with a good thing." I had to listen to his arrangements, under the car .
Tiger Hill Park, bought tickets to enter upon. Green everywhere, I felt very relaxed and happy, urban summer Zaore were held in the garden outside. The previous loss and tension immediately behind them, but inevitably it produces a person's sentimental alone. Would like to be properly enjoyed here, fresh, be properly enjoying the scenery the whole garden, a lift knee was found that traveling today, how ill-advised! This is a dress code, especially the soles of the feet of the high-heeled shoes, let me proudly difficult to shift into embarrassment. Do not know how to Taguo that a few stone steps to the naked, "Tiger Hill Jianchi" in. Watching tourists in the pool beside the grinding stone with the sword the sword cut the posture assumed Daoke photography, reverie a few hundred years ago, ancient people handheld sword, in this case to the sword making friends, that sword elegant clothes, a solemn expression, scabbard Lane humming of the sword. . . I am a little away God, and take a look at his arms and hands stretched folder of umbrellas, but also brought back its own did not bring the camera regrets. Looked around the crowds of tourists, I seemed alone. Forget, I have decided to avoid them.
Pan-light along the slippery stone steps, my hands and feet to climb up near a small pavilion on. Oh, the original is a small shop! I rushed to buy a bottle of mineral water, sit down to rest. Drink tickets while watching on the map, it is estimated their own position. Find out that they close to the "real mother tomb," the poignant and full of mind is that the legend, I decided to get up to go there to see. Now, I have another folder, and umbrellas, as well as bottles of mineral water, bumpy road again, I feel like struggling up. Under the stairs, I saw not far from the rise of the "Tomb of real mother," I can not help speed up the pace. However, the soles of the feet of a slide, and my heart was astonished, in the hands of the Montreal East, Western Sahara, the whole is moving with a rush, fell on the stone stairs, and homeopathy is sliding down. I just felt a burst knees throes. Heart bursts of panic, ears to hear again and again exclaimed. Finally, my shoulder was a prominent stone steps next to the stone block a bit, I have pain almost suffocating, but finally stopped sliding. I lie on the stone stairs a not dared to touch. A woman's voice Rourou to pass over: "Do you want does not matter? To go to the hospital it?" I feel that was hold up, I tolerate the dizziness, opened his eyes to see a Western woman, young faces - the original that she picked me! I hasten to say in English, please put me down. I have fears that stand in the ground, looking down at the sun illuminate the lighter spots mottled the ground, a sudden rise in my lonely feeling of helplessness almost swallowed my tears pouring eyes fail to live up to. Hands over to paper towels next to a sudden, I am still badly shaken to take over, saw a rise of gratitude to this good-hearted people, or her, that grabbed me from the stone stairs of the Western woman. I sweat and tears, wiping his face, she helped me come to help me Shica sitting in the shade of my leg wound.
"Are you traveling alone? (Do you have a person travel?)," She asked while finishing edge to help me, I spilled something in four weeks,
I am sad smile, said, "Yes." It seems that my umbrella in this connection scrapped. I held down the umbrella frame broken off and become deformed. Fortunately, there are bottom of it to me, otherwise I am afraid this is what I scrapped啦!
She immediately said: "My name is Sherri, this is my mother, we are from USA. Oh, this is Peggie, our tour guide (My name is Sherri, that was my mother, we come from the United States. That is our request for tour guides, called Peggie). "
I looked up and look around, it was found next to a benign countenance of a foreign woman and a neck hanging Chinese girl tour guide license. I use English with them to continue to bow to get a nod to their wounds. Fortunately, wounds were not particularly powerful, I am glad, because at least not hinder me to continue playing!
"Why not join us? Be my guest (why not join us?)" Shelli warmly shook my hand and invited me with pride and satisfaction.
"Thank you! It will be great." I am very grateful, also being could wish for.
Guides busy over in English, said, "Welcome (Welcome)!"
I am naturally not used to speaking in English with the natives, hastens to introduce themselves in Chinese with her.
Guides strange tone of voice asked, "Where are you from (Where are you from)?"
"Shanghai." I still insist told her about the Chinese.
Tour guide turned the old lady went to Fu.
Shelli the way care of me, I accompanied them to the "real mother tomb." Stand "real mother tomb" next to watching next to the inscription and the introduction, I am filled with emotion: You have just dropped it almost fell over so I take the "real mother tomb"! For me, "five bodies to bid for land," the pious worship, true mother in the tomb where it touched it? Always thinking of these funny words, ear guides explain exactly pause in the fight to the death Yasusada real mother to death uprising of the United States and Germany. She does not seem to know how to use English to say "suicide" is the word, smart Shelli immediately take the hint to say: "committed suicide". See, however, is still dumbfounded guides, but also smiled and said: "So she killed herself" tour guide immediately nodded "Yes, yes". . . Shelli walking Genwo Liao, I've come to realize that she should companies ask them to work a year in Suzhou, now 3 months, she also studied 3-month Chinese language. Oh, her Mandarin, while not standard, but basically I can understand it.
Shelli asked me and her mother leaning tower side of photo, I readily accepted. Old lady big block, more fat, and then walk so rugged mountain, stream a lot of sweat, but she still appears to be immense interest. Shelli want me to leave address, because she should photo mailed to me. Look at my guide and smooth writing my address in English and Chinese in Shanghai, she finally believed that I was Chinese.
She said to me in Mandarin: "Are you all right now?"
Me as she was concerned about my injury, I am thankful to her, said: "Thank you, I am all right."
"Then we say goodbye to this bar!" She coldly say,
I was surprised, looked at her neck hung a tour guide license, stopped in her tracks.
Shelli heard the tour guide and my dialogue, a very gentle run up to the tour guides in Mandarin, said: "She is my invited guests, you can not right her!" And then proceeded to pull my hand away.
I am very confused, could not help asking Shelli, "Will there be extra expense caused since I joined in (I join, will result in additional costs do)?"
Shelli said, "No, it's impossible! Take it easy (no, do not worry)."
I think I misunderstood the meaning of tour guides.
Seeing that lunch time is up, Shelli face in front of tour guides invited me to join with them to lunch, I have promised, and secretly decided to invite them to lunch to express my gratitude to them. Tiger Hill Park, out the door, I only discovered that they had arranged to meet the driver at the gate. Shelli advanced car with her mother, and guide me stopped at the door again said that sentence: "That we have this goodbye bar!"
This time, I'm really annoyed, I asked her out loud in English: "Can't you see that Shelli invited? I really cannot understand what your concern is! (Do not you never heard of my invitation to Shelli Mody? I really do not know what you consider that?) "
Shelli heard, they immediately jump out of cars, directed at tour guide, said: "Once again, I tell you this: She is my invited guests, you may not like her!" Again, I pulled down her side.
We could not even sit on the kitchen table, the driver a total of five people. Because I guide attitude, she felt a little uncomfortable, there is no how to speak. Shelli mother and daughter to a la carte. Dinner, Shelli old tease me, and tell me they have seen Niagara Falls in Canada. I immediately told them that I because of the working relationship has been in Toronto, Canada, and travel over Niagara Falls, standing at the free bridge, I saw the USA. I feel the opposite of the guides at once cheeky look of envy, she asked, "Then you went to the countries which呀?" I go to my lists countries and regions, more gently guides complexion! Meal complete, I Shelli said there had never before studied the "fate" is the Chinese word. She gently smiled and said it did not, I would probably explained in English with her, and then tell her that this time we encounter is the "fate." I want to this "fate" and asked her to lunch with her mother, so I'll pay the lunch fee. Shelli mother and daughter very happy. After the meal, I go to the bathroom, the tour guide with the ranks.
She asked me: "Are you sure that a very high salary, right?" Tone of the original Lengao completely failed.
I still smile, do not answer.
"That's how much money you pay a month?" She is still very curious to ask,
"Miss, your curiosity too, right? You do this line for several years?" Think of her today on my attitude, I could not help but to ask her.
"There are 4 years does! Sorry ah, you know we do tour guides, and sometimes some of the rules ..." She did not finish.
I looked at her neck hung a license tour guides said, "Oh, guides the rule? Is that right ?..." If I do not want to finish.
The afternoon, the driver to take us to our destination, "Humble Administrator's Garden," a good guide for my attitude a lot, she even gave me her business card, hope that our future more contact.
Large fish tanks arrayed along both sides of the corridor, passing birdcage hung in the woods, we came to a 400 years of history, ancient well near. Probe look down, then the deep, dark wells still have water. It seems quiet surface mirror, shining reflection of our feeling it's cool, earth's noisy, impetuous as if had been washed very clean. . .
When we stand lotus pond, ornamental lotus leaf, lotus flower, my boss by phone, and I'll say good-bye to them, we were a little reluctant to part with. Please give us guide others to the Zhang group photo.
Got on, with a nod to their superiors, I am used to sitting in silence in nature. All the way silent, I am sleepy began to doze. Dream I went back gardens, the elegant lotus fairy encounter. Her high bridge of the nose, how like a Western woman? I secretly wonder, then shallow smile, how it looks familiar? Phone calls vibration suddenly I awoke, the original received a short message. I opened my point of view, Oh, yes Shelli sent, and she asked me if I have arrived home safely. . . Touched the bruises on the legs, rubbing sore shoulders, the original, just going through all that it is not a dream. . .
