The Ordinary Road of Siheyuan

Chapter 25 The Journey to the Magic City



Saturday, May 4th.

At noon, I had a meal in the factory and then got off work. I was going to go to Shanghai in the evening. I didn’t come here in the afternoon. I went to the mall to buy some things.

Riding a bicycle to Wangfujing, He Yuzhu, who was very purposeful and not short of money, was very arrogant, and bought a wooden box to store his luggage. Most of the suitcases are like this now.

I bought a pair of watches as a wedding gift, to put an end to this relationship that hadn't started yet and died. I still remember that time, I also gave Yang Zhen a watch. I still remember that day, that lake, that person.

The Sri Lankan people go away, don't chase them or miss them.

I also prepared some fruit, canned food, and beef jerky and other shelf-stable foods, and bought some pastries along the way, filling a large box full.

I went back to the courtyard in the evening, gave my sister 50 yuan, and told her to spend at most one yuan a day, study hard, don't run around, and pay attention to safety.

But the little girl was so happy, she was fifteen or sixteen years old, just the age to love to play, now she was going to let herself go.

After a simple meal, he went to the factory to meet Lu Lan.

In the factory manager's office, the factory manager Yang personally instructed him, and after explaining some things, he asked the driver to take the two of them to the train station.

In this era, the speed of the old-fashioned green leather train is very slow, and there are few train routes. This journey is Tianjin Wei-Quancheng-Pengcheng-Pukou, and then take a boat to Jinling, and continue the train. It takes two days, and the hard seat can make people fall apart. .

When he arrived in Shanghai, Yang Zhen came to pick him up with a handsome guy. He looked like a soldier when he was standing in a Chinese tunic suit. He was about 1 meters tall. He was unsmiling and handsome.

It's been a long time since we saw each other, so we couldn't help sighing for a while. After arranging the accommodation, the four of them came to the Modu Hotel.

At the dinner table, Yang Zhen seemed very enthusiastic, kept talking to Lu Lan, and ordered 8 dishes in a decent manner. It seemed that the Yang family was really not simple. I just looked at the menu casually. Almost 50 yuan.

Yang Zhen's partner is Jiang He, a childhood sweetheart, and the two families are family friends. Yang Zhen used to avoid him. After going around and going through time, they are still going to be together.

Perhaps, sometimes what we resist is just an uncontrollable life.

The childhood sweethearts are ambiguous and difficult to understand, but the haze has not been pierced by the two of them, but the parents of both parties tore it apart indifferently and announced the result.It might be a shove to some, but it's a slap in the face to those who are assertive.

He Yuzhu didn't know the specific situation of the two of them, and he didn't jump to conclusions. He just looked at Jiang He on the wine table and occasionally looked at Yang Zhen with indulgent eyes. He Yuzhu knew that many things in the world had already been arranged. no.

Jiang He is a very forthright person, not good at words, basically He Yuzhu said, he listened or answered some questions.Drinking was refreshing, and the wine was dry, without any pretentiousness, which made He Yuzhu very happy, and the two of them drank two bottles of Wuliangye before they knew it.

After a meal, the host and guest had a good time, and Yang Zhen made an appointment with Lu Lan to visit the magic city together on weekends.

The next day, the two came to the municipal building to report together, and the staff sent a car to take them to the city electric factory.

The motor factory still uses foreign machine tools. If the assembly line is reformed, it will be a big project. It is not a big problem for the two of them to come here. The main purpose is to share their previous ideas and experiences. Can you give some opinions and share some experience, so that others can avoid many detours.

The lunch in the factory cafeteria at noon shows that Shanghai's economy has reached its peak in the past few years, and it is stronger than Xiangjiang at this time. The basic necessities of life are more modern than the capital, and it is at the forefront of the times.

The accompanying staff of the electrical machinery factory is a secretary surnamed Liu. He is humorous, and the hospitality is very thoughtful. They are very open-minded.

A week passed in a flash, and the work went smoothly. He Yuzhu knew everything, and the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. This Saturday, at noon, the leaders of the electrical machinery factory hosted a banquet to thank the two.

The visit and exchange of the motor factory is over, and the next step is the national cotton factory.

The next day was the weekend, and Yang Zhen came early in the morning to take the two of them out for fun.

When I came to the Great World of Shanghai, it is worthy of being an economic center. There are all kinds of goods at home and abroad, and many foreign goods are also available, some of which are not common in the capital.

The style is more trendy than in the capital city. He Yuzhu bought Lu Lan a bragi dress, a handbag, and some cosmetics and skin care products.

Half a month passed in a flash, during which the two visited the National Cotton Factory and the Iron and Steel Factory. People, it's time to travel.

May 5st, Wednesday, Labor Day, workers' holiday.

Generally, most cities observe the Gregorian calendar, while rural areas still observe the lunar calendar.

Early in the morning, the Jiang and Yang families got busy. The wedding process was much simpler than later generations, but everything was done by themselves. He Yuzhu and Lu Lan attended the wedding process as the female guests.

As expected of a rich family, the wedding ceremony in this year is quite grand, cars and buses are used to pick up the bride, and bicycles are the most used by ordinary people to pick up the bride.

The banquet was also very grand, and there were not many people. You could tell by their clothes and temperament that they were not ordinary people.

During the dinner, the two newcomers came over to toast specially. Yang Zhen asked when the two would get married, and He Yuzhu was also tangled. There were still 3 years left, should she go to Xiangjiang? If she married Lu Lan, then her family, forget it, the car There must be a way to the front of the mountain, let's go to Sichuan Province to see it.

On May 5rd, Friday, He Yuzhu and Lu Lan finished their trip to Magic City ahead of schedule. Yang Zhen was very enthusiastic and prepared a lot of things, including three big boxes, which he checked in.

On May 5th, Sunday, at 5:7 am, He Yuzhu sent Lu Lan back to the guest house and was ready to go back to the hospital. As for the report, he didn't care about it, and let Lu Lan write everything.

Carrying the suitcase, I ate breakfast at a breakfast shop on the road, 4 fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu nao, plus two big vermicelli and cabbage buns. The food of this era seems to have a magical power. He Yuzhu can never eat enough. Simple food, The skillful hands of the master can always give people a different feeling.

Arrived at the courtyard at [-] o'clock, today and Sunday, almost everyone in the courtyard was there, He Yuzhu took out two catties of pastries and candies, and handed them to the third master for distribution to the children in the courtyard.

The yard suddenly became lively, and the children lined up under the command of the third master as if they were celebrating the New Year, discussing how to divide them.

He Yuzhu liked this kind of life atmosphere very much, so he didn't care too much, gave her the gift from his sister, went back to the house and went straight to sleep.

After not sleeping for a long time, he was awakened by a loud noise, and He Yushui came in with an aggrieved face.

If you don't do it, you won't die. The last incident is not over yet, and the Jia Zhang family has started acting like a demon again. Let go of the sticky things and deal with Jia Zhang family first.

It turned out that He Yushui opened the gift immediately after receiving it from his brother. He Yushui, who was already in high school, was also a big girl. She immediately put it on and ran to the yard to show off. Shi saw it and scolded him.

As the elder brother, He Yuzhu is also very helpless, it seems that this courtyard will not be peaceful in the future.

He Yuzhu first went to find the elder man, first the courtesy and then the soldiers. The elder man asked Jia Zhang to apologize, but Jia Zhang closed the door and chose to ignore it.

There was a lot of noise in the front yard just now, and he didn't know until he came back that He Yuzhu asked Yan Pugui to share the pastries and candies.When he was angry, he saw He Yushui showing off in a flowery skirt, so he said that it was a waste of He Yuzhu to be so nice to a loser.
