"Xiangdong, don't you even have a suit ready?"

Wang Jia saw Wu Xiangdong's sad face, with surprise in his eyes.

"What should I do? If you don't wear formal attire, you won't be able to attend the seminar. This is clearly stipulated in the notice."

Wang Jiazai learned that Wu Xiangdong did not prepare a suit for the meeting, and he became anxious.

You must know that this seminar is taken very seriously by the institute. After all, there are experts from other institutes as judges. It is a matter of face, so naturally we cannot be careless.

"How about I go find someone to borrow it?" Wu Xiangdong naturally knew this and came up with the idea of ​​borrowing a suit.

However, as soon as this suggestion was put forward, it was rejected by Wang Jia on the side.

"How is this possible?" Wang Jia shook his head: "With your size, let alone whether you can borrow it, even if you can, they won't be able to put it in the hospital."

"If you go home and get it, if it doesn't fit, all the travel will be wasted on the road. How can you attend the meeting on time?" Wang Jia became more and more anxious as he spoke.

After all, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Wu Xiangdong is tall and has a slender figure. He is a rare handsome man in the courtyard.

There are not many people in the hospital who can match Wu Xiangdong's figure, and they are not familiar with each other. The price of a suit is still very expensive in this era, so it is obviously unrealistic to solve the problem by borrowing a suit.

"This is indeed a problem." Wu Xiangdong said with a frown.

At this moment, Wang Jia suddenly thought of a way.

"How about this? Let's buy a suit as soon as possible, or rent one from a nearby suit store."

Wang Jia checked the time. There were still four or five hours before 2 p.m., so he had plenty of time. He would definitely make it in time.

"But, do you know where the nearby suit store is?" Wu Xiangdong asked.

"Um..." Faced with the inquiry, Wang Jia was speechless for a moment.

After all, when she usually goes shopping, she usually goes to some cosmetics stores or women's clothing stores. She really doesn't know where there is a suit store where she can rent suits.

"Why don't you go directly to the department store? There must be everything there."

The department store Wang Jia mentioned was a seven-story building with the most grandeur and the most merchandise at the time.

It basically provides the supply and sales of 70% of the products in the entire urban area, and it is a very popular existence.

It is overcrowded every day, and there is an endless stream of people coming to shop. It is a landmark building.

That's why Wang Jiacai directly suggested going here, because all the clothes, merchandise, and goods that can be seen on the market can be purchased in the department store.

"Go, go, go, hurry up, maybe you can go to the store to choose a suit that suits you best." Wang Jia is also impatient. When it comes to choosing clothes, his eyes suddenly light up.

.

Sure enough, shopping is an irresistible temptation for women.

"Don't worry, I'll tell Corey first." Wu Xiangdong is on duty today. As long as Corey doesn't have any major rescue operations, he doesn't have to be on duty in the hospital.

"Okay, you go ahead and talk, and I'll make some preparations. We'll meet at the hospital gate then."

After that, Wang Jia stepped on her high heels and trotted out of the office.

Wu Xiangdong also found the head nurse. After explaining the reason to her, Zheng Hong also took the matter seriously.

"Doctor Wu, go quickly. I remember that in five or six minutes, there will be a bus going to the base passing by our hospital. Don't miss it, or you will have to wait another hour for the bus." Zheng

As soon as Hong heard that he was going to the department store, he quickly changed out of Wu Xiangdong's white coat.

"Then I'll hurry up and get there."

Wu Xiangdong, who had changed his clothes at this time, said hello to Zheng Hong and rushed to the gate of the hospital without stopping.

At this time, the two-way, one-lane road facing him was empty, not even a car.

"I wonder if it's still too late." Wu Xiangdong was inevitably a little worried.

The department store is at least 10 to 20 kilometers away from the hospital. If you can get on a bus, it may take two hours to go back and forth.

After all, in this era when transportation is not yet developed, there are not many means of transportation that can replace walking.

Taking the bus to go to distant places is the most common way.

Although the hospital also had public buses at that time, they were mostly used by the hospital leaders. Occasionally, when there were no leaders on the bus, you could still take the bus, but it always depended on luck.

Wu Xiangdong walked out of the gate, and not far to the right was the platform marked with stop sign 103.

It's said to be a stop, but it's actually a sign on the curb, which is equivalent to a bus stop sign.

Although it is simple, many people who need to go out are already waiting at the bus stops on both sides of the road.

Like Wu Xiangdong, they were all eagerly awaiting the arrival of the bus.

"It's really troublesome to travel far away."

As the weather got hotter and hotter, Wu Xiangdong began to sweat under the direct sunlight.

As time passed by, everyone became increasingly anxious, especially as the arrival time specified on the stop sign got closer and closer, and more and more people were waiting on the curb.

"Why hasn't Wang Jia come yet? If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to get on this train."

Wu Xiangdong was also a little anxious at this time, with a hint of guilt in his heart.

It was obviously because of his own reasons, but Wang Jia was allowed to follow him back and forth, which really made Wu Xiangdong feel bad.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted that the car was coming. Everyone immediately became energetic and their eyes looked in the same direction.

I saw a large-capacity articulated bus with two carriages slowly turning around.

The white and blue body is connected with black rubber tracks in the middle. The length of the bus is very terrifying, nearly 14 to 15 meters. The whole bus looks like a giant dragon crawling on the ground.

As the bus gradually approached from far away, everyone could clearly see through the glass windows that the darkness inside was filled with standing passengers.

Their bodies swayed with the shaking of the vehicle, and the entire carriage was crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, giving people a very depressing feeling.

However, its arrival made the passengers waiting on the roadside feel like they had been given a shot of blood. They rushed to the stop sign one by one, and even calculated in their minds the location where the bus was about to stop. Fortunately, the moment the door opened, it would occupy a favorable terrain and facilitate boarding.

Get on the carriage.

"Don't crowd, don't crowd anymore."

As the bus was about to enter the station, the conductor opened the front window, patted the car with his hand, and waved a small flag with the word "Slow" in his hand.

However, her shouting did not have much effect. On the contrary, more people chose to rush forward, and some with long hands even held the car door open and walked forward.

Being able to squeeze into the bus at this time requires not only physical strength, but also skills.

Even flexibility, speed, courage, strength and wisdom are indispensable. Otherwise, it will be difficult to squeeze to the car door, and the remaining people will crowd in, and they will have no choice but to keep their feet on the ground and watch the car door getting further and further away from them.

"Hurry, squeeze higher, I'm almost up there."

"My shoes, who saw my shoes, my shoes were squeezed out."

"The front one is walking, the back one is gentle...be gentle, I can't breathe."

All kinds of shouts filled the car, in front of the car door and at the stop sign, one after another, and could be heard all the time.

"this……"

Wu Xiangdong was shocked speechless by the scene in front of him, and the horrifying memory of that long-buried time of squeezing into a bus also came back.

"We can't get on the bus, and we can't get taxis. If this continues, we won't be able to get there when the department store closes after dark."
