It was already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month when Chen Daguan returned to the capital from Xiangya City. Tomorrow will be the New Year's Eve. On this day, there are quite a lot of people at the capital airport. It is no exaggeration to say that the airport is packed with people. If you go to the Beijing Railway Station, there will be more people there. This is a major feature of China - the Spring Festival!
In the past, when Chen Daguan was working at the construction site in Beijing, he would carry a big bag and dress up as a migrant worker and shuttle to the train station in Beijing every New Year, squeezing here and there trying to buy a ticket to go home for the New Year. Fortunately, Yishan Town is far away from Beijing. It¡¯s not too far away, and the tickets are relatively easy to buy. Otherwise, Chen Daguan people would have to be unable to go home to celebrate the New Year several times. There are so many people going home to celebrate the New Year, and it¡¯s even harder to buy tickets!
In the past, the way Chen Daguan went home to celebrate the New Year could be described as ragged compared to now. This is no wonder. Chen Daguan was poor at that time, and it would be good if he could support himself. Then he would have spare money to buy himself some new clothes, so Chen Zhiyuan is reluctant to go out every year when he returns home, for fear that his relatives and friends will laugh at him for being useless, but now Chen Daguan is still too lazy to go out during the New Year, because there are too many people who know him, and this time he only goes out to deal with those who wish him New Year greetings. It takes people several hours, which is really tiring!
Thinking of these Chen Daguan people, I couldn¡¯t help but feel a little sad, and a sentence suddenly came to my mind: Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi! These words are indeed a portrayal of Chen Zhiyuan in the past few years. He used to be so poor that no dog would bother to talk to him even if he said something ugly. Now he is so rich that seven aunts and eight aunts from all walks of life have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, crying. Shouting to become relatives with him. It¡¯s really annoying!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyuan gave a wry smile and stepped out of the airport. This time he was alone, without the escort of special agents like Leisen. Chen Daguan didn't want to alarm the people at the airport and went to the VIP exit, so he had to squeeze out all the way. As soon as he went out, Chen Zhiyuan breathed in the familiar air of the capital and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. There were too many people, so he just walked this short distance. It is simply more tiring than undergoing several surgeries!
Since Chen Zhiyuan didn't notify anyone when he came back this time, naturally no one picked him up. He had to find a secluded place and use the Rubik's Cube to transform a car into a car and drive home. As soon as he left the airport, he saw Mi Mengtong's motorcade in front of him. Mengtong didn't have the privilege of Chen Zhiyuan's bad taste and didn't have to take the ordinary exit like everyone else. She made a phone call before getting on the plane. So it came out much faster than Chen Zhiyuan. And there are still people picking up!
At this moment, Chen Zhiyuan¡¯s cell phone rang. The caller was none other than Miss Mi. During the phone call, Miss Mi laughed at Chen Zhiyuan, saying he was stupid and didn't use his privileges. Then she whispered to him again, agreeing to let Chen Zhiyuan come to the capital to accompany her after the New Year, and then hung up the phone. Chen Daguan collected the call just as the car drove to the intersection and parted ways with Mi Mengtong's motorcade. He saw Mi Mengtong's motorcade. Going away, Chen Zhiyuan felt a little reluctant to leave. The two of them had been in love these past few days. They wanted to be together all day long, so naturally they didn't want to separate!
But when he thought of his wife and children at home, Chen Daguan's heart felt hot again, but at this moment, he slapped his forehead hard. Sha Ye's premenstrual period was a month ago. This means that the child has been born a long time ago, and it is already one month old if it doesn't happen. However, as a father, he has forgotten this matter. He did not see the birth of the child and was not able to accompany Sha Ye. Chen Zhiyuan felt very guilty!
Thinking of this, Chen Zhiyuan wanted to maximize the power of the Rubik's Cube and go home quickly, but when he thought about the number of cars for the Chinese New Year, and if he really drove the car so fast, it might cause unnecessary trouble. Finally Chen Daguan could only sigh and rush home patiently. At this moment, Chen Zhiyuan wished he could grow two wings on his back and fly back immediately!
There is so much traffic in Beijing during the Chinese New Year, which wastes a lot of time. In the past, it only took more than two hours to drive from Beijing to Yishan Town, but now it takes Chen Zhiyuan a full four hours to drive to Yishan Town. Hours later, you can see how many cars there are on the road!
As soon as you enter Yishan Town, you can feel the New Year atmosphere. The only road in Yishan Town is full of people and cars. Today is the last market in Yishan Town. In the past few years, there were definitely not so many people going to the market to buy things. But since Chen Zhiyuan vigorously After the development of Yishan Town, the population of the town has now exceeded 100,000. In addition, people who work in other places in the town have come back to celebrate the New Year. The population must be about 130,000. During the New Year, even ordinary families We need to buy more New Year¡¯s goods. Now that so many people have a greater demand for goods, that¡¯s why today¡¯s scene is happening!
In fact, it is not that Chen Zhiyuan has never seen scenes like today. When he was a child, when Yishan Town was at its most prosperous, the number of people was no less than today. There were very few people riding bicycles at that time, and the roads were full of people. Looking at it, It was almost impossible to see the end. At that time, Yishan Town was the only market in the surrounding towns that opened a market every five days. During the Chinese New Year, it was crowded with people. At that time, Chen Daguan liked to hang out with Li Haoyu, Dou Haitao and his follower Li. BuildThere were so many people running around in the crowd, and they were competing to see who could run faster among so many people, so bumping into people happened from time to time!
Thinking of these, Chen Zhiyuan couldn't help but smile, but when he looked up at the dense crowd in front of him, Chen Daguan knew that it was impossible to drive home. With so many people coming to the market, it was estimated that black people would be indispensable before daybreak. He didn't want to be so late. When I got home, I simply parked the car aside. No one could steal the car anyway, and no one could use the Rubik's Cube except him!
After getting out of the car, Chen Zhiyuan entered a community along the adjacent intersection. This community was built when Chen Zhiyuan was in junior high school. There are only nine six-story buildings. There are still dirt roads in the community. There is really no way to compare with the communities built now. The buildings in the community have become somewhat dilapidated over the past few years!
The reason why I walked here is because Chen Zhiyuan knew that he should walk to the end of the community, then turn left and there will be an exit. Follow this exit and cross a small bridge and walk for a few minutes to get home. He was there often when he was a child. Playing here, you are naturally quite familiar with the terrain here!
There are a lot of people in the community. Everyone is celebrating the New Year. A large group of children are running around downstairs in the community and it is very lively. I don¡¯t know who gave these children a lot of firecrackers. The brave boy held it in his hand and lit it before throwing it out, letting the firecracker explode in the air. Seeing this scene, Chen Daguan suddenly felt that he was old. It seemed that he was the one who did this before, but now he has no such idea. !
With a wry smile, Chen Zhiyuan crossed the community and climbed onto the old iron bridge. I remember that this iron bridge was built in the mine when Chen Zhiyuan was in elementary school to make it easier for people in the community to walk together. Chen Zhiyuan couldn't help walking on this small bridge. I remembered some interesting stories from my childhood. There is a mountain on the right side of this small bridge. There was an air-raid shelter there. When he was a child, Chen Zhiyuan often went into the air-raid shelter with a large group of children and played hide and seek in it. Catch the bat!
However, because of this, he was often repaired by his father. The air-raid shelters were in disrepair and often collapsed, which could kill people. The brat Chen Zhiyuan was not afraid of death at the time. In fact, like other children, he did not expect to die, but Chen Zhiyuan But adults like Runner knew this was dangerous, so they issued a fatal order to prevent their children from playing here!
But at that time, the children were wild and did not dare to stay upstairs all day like children today. They were very timid and basically did whatever the adults said. At that time, almost all the children turned a deaf ear to what the adults said. In fact, The temptation to play in the air-raid shelter was too great for them. As a result, the stores around the school sold flashlights and batteries very well!
But how much pocket money do children of Chen Zhiyuan¡¯s age have? They want to buy some good things like laser flashlights, but they don¡¯t have money, and they want to play in the air-raid shelter, so they can only make their own torches. This torch The raw materials are the small sheds of the residents opposite the air raid shelters. In order to waterproof all the small sheds, they are covered with linoleum paper. This thing is easy to burn, and it burns for a long time. As a result, these small sheds will naturally suffer. During the disaster, as many as 100 children came to play in the air-raid shelter. Most of the children did not have money to buy flashlights, so they had to steal these linoleum papers!
As a result, all the residents across a creek from the air-raid shelter were affected. Within two days, all the linoleum papers were stolen by those naughty children. Chen Daguan was also one of these people at that time. Chen Yajun was not originally If you let him come, will you give him more pocket money to buy a flashlight? So Chen Daguan had no choice but to steal linoleum paper to make torches!
This linoleum paper was all good, except that it would produce a lot of black smoke when it was lit, which was quite choking. But the children at that time would not care about it just for fun. Anyway, with the torch, they could enter the air-raid shelter, so they went in one by one. When they were young, their faces were fair and clean, but when they came out, they all turned into Bao Gong, and their clothes were stained by smoke. As a result, the sequelae appeared. Both adults and teachers can see this. The naughty child must have gone to the air-raid shelter again, so a beating is inevitable!
But even being beaten could not stop this group of naughty children from getting into the air-raid shelter. They all ran there when they had time. Fortunately, no serious incident happened to any of the children in the air-raid shelter. Of course, the hide-and-seek accidentally bumped into them. There are still people who go to the wall and get their heads bloody!
But since children like Chen Zhiyuan grew up, no one seemed to come to this air-raid shelter. Chen Zhiyuan suddenly missed going to the air-raid shelter when he was a child. Thinking of this, he was not in a hurry to go home. He got off the bridge and went to the air-raid shelter. I walked away, but as soon as I took a few steps out, I heard noises from the air-raid shelter!
