A large pile of garbage piled up behind the small building on the farm, Qin Shiou and Duoduo hugged the little bullies and let the garbage truck go in to clean up.

The little bullies stretched out their heads and kicked their legs with a dissatisfied look, and they wanted to go down to continue to show their bravery, Qin Shiou smiled and gave them brain breaks one by one, let them sit on the grass honestly, and began to teach them the first lesson in life.

Driving the garbage truck was a middle-aged white man in his sixties, and when he was about to leave, Mao Weilong said: "John Pu, I will have a beer barbecue party here in the evening, do you have time?" Shall we come and join us? ”

The middle-aged white man laughed, "Of course, man, of course, everyone loves beer barbecue, and even if I don't have time, I'll make time." ”

Waiting for the white John Pu to leave, Mao Weilong explained to Qin Shiou: "This is my neighbor to the south, the people in the town call him Old John, he is very enthusiastic, he has the only garbage truck in the town, so he will help dispose of the garbage regularly." These days, he helps dispose of the garbage on my side, and he doesn't need money. ”

"Damn, did you run into a Canadian Lei Feng?" Qin Shiou said in surprise.

Don't look at him saying goodbye to the town so well, in fact, when he first arrived on the island, although the townspeople were friendly to him, they would not help him work for free, because Canadians advocate equal pay, you don't pay others, why should people help you?

Mao Weilong said with a smile: "He usually charges for handling garbage, I am a new customer, he said to give me a little discount, and the first half of the month to clean up the garbage is purely to help." ”

"Of course, I didn't ask him to help in vain, and sent him some nice tea and domestic specialties the other day. That's why he's so enthusiastic. Mao Weilong added.

In the afternoon, Liu Shuyan had to go to the Hamilton supermarket to replenish the supplies needed for the evening party. Mao Weilong called and invited people he had met since coming to the town. They are also welcome to bring their friends to the dinner.

It costs a lot of money to start a farm and buy belongings, and Mao Weilong has never bought a car, and the farmer used to have an old pickup truck, so he used that car to make up for the time being.

As a result, the old pickup truck didn't give face, it happened to be broken in the morning, Liu Shuyan could only take the bus to Hamilton, she definitely couldn't carry it alone, Qin Shiou asked Duoduo to accompany the little bullies to have fun, and he went to help.

"Would you like to borrow a car?" Qin Shiou asked. "You guys should have a good relationship with that John, right?"

Liu Shuyan smiled bitterly: "John Pu doesn't have a car suitable for us to drive, he is a garbage truck except for agricultural vehicles, and sometimes he drives a garbage truck out to Hamilton for anything." ”

Qin Shiou was in awe, why are you such a dick, old man.

Speaking of neighborhood relations, Liu Shuyan was a little helpless, and said: "We only know our neighbors now, and we don't have any friendship, so it's hard to borrow a car." ”

That's right. Canadians have a lot of affection for their cars, because almost all parts of the country are sparsely populated except for the city center, and they can't get around without cars. Other than that. What if something happens to me if I borrow a car and go out? The Canadian traffic police do not have the right driver's license for the car, and they will look for the owner of the car if the car has an accident.

I had no choice but to take the bus.

The reason why I chose to take a bus instead of a taxi. This is also a feature of Canada, where even remote towns have their own bus companies. On the contrary, taxis are scarce.

The reason for this is that in Canada, a private car has become a necessity for every family's life. As common as chopsticks. Except in big cities, taxis are basically a reservation service, and the prices are high.

Liu Shuyan said that in their town, the taxi fee that passengers have to bear is equivalent to the round-trip fare, and the return cost must also be calculated on the passengers, or because the Canadian towns are vast and sparsely populated, it is impossible for taxi drivers to pull passengers on the return trip.

Qin Shiou took the handbag and followed Liu Shuyan to the street outside the farm, the street was very wide and straight, but there was almost no one, but during the period, Qin Shiou saw two reindeer trotting across the road.

The two went to stand under a wooden sign at the intersection of the street, Qin Shiou took a township bus in Canada for the first time, he was still very curious, he looked at the wooden sign with the '0505' number written on it, and asked curiously: "How is this still numbered?" Isn't there supposed to be a station name? ”

"No, township buses don't have station names, which is different from China, they all use the station number on the sign instead." Liu Shuyan patiently explained.

Qin Shiou was surprised: "No, what about the newspaper station?" Passengers memorize all these station numbers? ”

"No, the driver will call the station name."

Mao Weilong has long had no illusions about the old pickup, he bought a bus ticket before, and he used it today to deal with possible emergencies.

Hamilton's bus tickets are more expensive, costing $3.50 for adults and 10 at a time, and 50% off for students, Liu explains that they are usually available at supermarket, pharmacy and convenience store counters.

Canada's municipal construction is very developed, which ranks high in the world, and the bus is reflected in the fact that although there are not a few people on a bus, the number of buses does not decrease.

Liu Shuyan was pinching the point to wait for the bus, and within a few minutes of her and Qin Shiou arriving at the stop sign, an orange bus drove over.

Compared with domestic and big city buses, urban buses are characterized by being smaller, only the size of domestic minibuses, and using cheaper natural gas fuel, in order to reduce transportation pressure.

There are only 16 seats in this minibus, but the seats are relatively wide and comfortable, which can be regarded as allowing passengers to earn back the high fare.

Qin Shiou found a seat and sat down, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's still a soft seat." ”

Liu Shuyan smiled and said: "This is the car of the 'Constellation Bus Company', their tickets are a little more expensive, but more comfortable, and the main target is tourists, many people like to take their cars to the towns and villages for sightseeing." ”

The car started, and only half of the sixteen seats were seated along the way, and Qin Shiou watched the wheat fields, orchards and pastures outside with great interest, feeling that everything was fresh.

The minibuses only went into Hamilton, not to the Walmart where they were going, so they had to change buses.

Qin Shiou wanted to take a taxi, but there were more taxis after entering the city, Liu Shuyan smiled and said: "We are in front of the light rail station, or take the light rail, right?" Direct to Walmart, faster than a taxi. ”

Since the ladies of the people said that they wanted to take the light rail, of course Qin Shiou could not refuse, he wanted to take a taxi not because he couldn't endure hardship, but because he felt that it was more convenient and time-saving, and his memory of the light rail and subway was the canned sardines when he went to Kyoto and the magic capital on a business trip.
