To this day, I am still explaining to my mother that expressways are not free on New Year’s Day.
She didn't believe it. She said that it was mentioned on Douyin and the country issued a new notice.
I'm too lazy to argue.
Well, in fact, I am not writing this to popularize science. After all, the pile of notices from the State Council have so many words that you will feel sleepy just by reading them. Who has the time to read them?
It just occurred to me that almost two months have passed since 2024.
Time flies so damn fast.
What did you do during the three days of New Year's Day?
I'm stuck on the highway.
Yes, I know it's not free, but it's still crowded. The reason is that everyone holds the idea that "if it is not free, there may be fewer people", which leads everyone to imagine this, and in the end there are more people.
I still remember the expression of the young lady at the toll booth.
She looked at me like I was a fool.
She smiled and said, "Sir, New Year's Day is not free." The curve of the corner of her mouth was just enough to embarrass me for the rest of my life.
Free pass? Only these four days
I checked it specifically later.
Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, May Day and National Day.
Just these four.
Other times? dream.
This year, the included New Year's Eve starts on February 9th and ends on February 17th, a total of nine days. For this point, it can be considered extremely generous, and I was almost moved to tears because of this.
Qingming Festival, three days off and one day off
April 4 to 6.
I have to go to work on the 7th.
Sunday.
hehe.
Labor Day, five days, but no weekends before and after
May 1st to 5th.
I will go to work on Sunday, April 28th, and on Saturday, May 11th.
After all, it actually only took one extra day.
But everyone still ran out like crazy.
I also run.
The highway is free, so be careful
Departure time shall prevail.
I've suffered from this.
Once, I foolishly drove into the service area at zero o'clock. As a result, I drove out one minute later and paid the full fare.
That minute is worth more than two hundred yuan.
Bloody lessons.
Dragon Boat Festival, no need to take a break
Released on June 10th, running on the weekend.
This is the most comfortable.
No fuss.
But I still won’t go out because of the heat.
Mid-Autumn Festival, another holiday
September 15th to 17th.
Go to work on Saturday the 14th.
Three days off, actually only one day is yours.
I don’t know who invented the time off.
I want to send him a blade.
National Day, seven days forever
October 1 to 7.
You can ride in all weekends before and after.
But this is the only long vacation that I feel is "worth the trip".
Because it's really long.
Seven days is enough for me to travel from south to north, and then from north to south, back and forth.
How to calculate free time?
For ordinary highways, it depends on the time it takes to pass through the toll booth.
Check the toll booth time on the expressway.
Keep this in mind and you can save hundreds of dollars.
Don't learn from me and wait foolishly.
If you go to the wrong aisle, you will die on the spot.
On ETC, on ETC.
Artificially on, artificially down.
Don't mess around.
One time I forgot to change lanes and drove straight into ETC.
The railing was not raised.
The car behind them honked their horns wildly.
I reversed the car and couldn't get out.
Finally, I got off the car, walked to the window, and explained to the staff.
The way she looked at me was the same as the way she looked at me who didn’t have free money on New Year’s Day.
Actually, we just want to go out
It doesn't matter where you go.
Free or not, it actually doesn’t matter.
The important thing is that I can finally say goodbye to this cubicle, this city, and these endless notices and vacations.
Even if you are stuck in traffic.
Even if you have to pay the toll.
Even if you are laughed at by the toll booth lady.
We also wanted to go out and get some air.
In 2024, there are still many holidays waiting ahead.
New Year's Day has passed, and so has the Spring Festival.
Next, Qingming.
Next one, May Day.
We will continue to plan, continue to search for free high-speed times, and continue to calculate the pitiful three or five days during the off-duty period.
Then keep going.
Because there is no other way.
In life, there is always something to look forward to.
Even if it’s just looking forward to the next free pass.
