Train, high-speed rail or plane? How are you going to get home?

Going home for the Spring Festival was originally a happy thing for the whole family, but the journey home was too difficult and painful.

I work in Xinjiang and my hometown is in Henan. Every year when I go home during the Chinese New Year, I shed tears of bitterness and can talk for several days.

Xinjiang is relatively far from mainland cities, and the high-speed rail has just reached Lanzhou, so it is basically impossible to take the high-speed rail home. If you are taking a train home, buying a ticket is a difficult task, and the possibility of being able to buy a ticket is very slim. Besides, if you take the train back, it will take nearly 40 hours. I only have seven days off during the Chinese New Year. It takes four days to go back and forth on the train. It feels like I have never returned.

Of course, you can also choose to fly back, but the price of the air ticket is really painful. There are basically no discounts during the New Year. One ticket costs nearly 3,000 yuan, and a round-trip ticket costs nearly 6,000 yuan.

Based on this comparison and time constraints, I basically choose to fly when I go home every year. This time is not delayed, but the cost of the air ticket has made me feel distressed for a long time. The cost of returning home is basically spent on the air ticket, no matter how I think about it, it is not worthwhile.

But what can be done? Home always comes back and people always want to be reunited. So every year I earn a salary, I have to save money to take home at the end of the year, and then at the end of the year, I spend it generously while feeling pain in my body. Apart from that, there is really no other way. I saw that people in mainland cities can ride motorcycles home close to their homes, but I set out from Xinjiang for thousands of kilometers in ice and snow, so I couldn’t even think about it.

This year I thought of a good idea. Encourage my mother to come to Xinjiang for the Spring Festival. When they retire, they don't need to rush. They can come in advance. Air tickets are heavily discounted and only cost a few hundred yuan. Everyone is happy now. I would rather spend all the money on my mother than give it to the airline in vain.

Look, human wisdom is infinite, and there are always more solutions than problems. ?
