The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 63 Zhu Xia Enters the City II

Zhu Xia: "It's noon. I'm here to make a living, hehe."

Chen Lili: "Then you are at the right place. There is a restaurant in our teahouse, and He Xiuli's craftsmanship is not bad, as good as the chef, you can have a real treat."

Li Xiaomi: "Zhu Xia, do you have poor conditions for poverty alleviation in rural areas? Let's improve your food today."

"Thank you all."

"By the way, why didn't the monitor bubble up?"

"That's right, I haven't seen him show up for a few days."

Li Xiaomi@刘建国

"Squad leader, come out soon, some students have gone home."

"There is also Officer Hu"

"Officer Hu went to the provincial capital to accompany his family."

李小米@Everyone: "I announce that we will meet at Xinyuan at noon today to welcome Zhu Xia. Anyone who is free will come. See you soon."

"Oh, received."

"Ok."

Xiao Guangwei sent Zhu Xia to the gate of the park,
"Mr. Zhu, you can go, Xinyuan Teahouse is right by the lake, you can see it at a glance."

"Why don't you come have a cup of tea together?"

"No, I won't disturb your classmate reunion. I also parked the car and went home to catch lunch. I'll pick you up the next morning."

"Okay, that's it."

Xiao Guangwei drove away in a pickup
Zhu Xia stood at the gate of the park and looked around.

This was no longer the park gate she remembered.

In memory, the gate of the park is next to the Children's Palace.

At that time, I often ran to the park after coming out of the Children's Palace.

Standing upstairs of the Children's Palace, you can see the lake in the park.

But here is a square.

If it wasn't for the gate of the park in front of her, she would have thought that Xiao Guangwei had sent her to the wrong place.

Jingle bell jingle bell...

There was the sound of tricycle bells behind me.

"Hey, excuse me, don't stand in the middle of the road and get in the way..."

A loud voice shouted from behind.

It seems to be talking about myself,

Zhu Xia hastily turned around, ready to make way.

Behind him was a strong middle-aged man pushing a tricycle of fruits, and he was yelling at Zhu Xia, "Standing in the middle of the road, why are you so dazed, can you not find your way?"

Zhu Xia was a little dazed, and said to herself, "Whatever your business, the road is so wide, let's each go on one side."Besides, I've already stepped aside, why are you yelling?
The middle-aged man looked at her with a half-smile: "Look at me, did I say something wrong?"

Taking a closer look, this middle-aged man still looks familiar.

Quickly hooked up with a person in my mind.

"You, you are, Wang Dayong?"

"Haha, as expected of Pigman, his eyes and memory are very good."

Wang Dayong had just given Zhu Xia the nickname Pigman in the group, and now he called Zhu Xia immediately when they met.

Zhu Xia: "Let me just say, the road is so wide, I didn't get in the way, and I kept yelling, so it was your kid who was joking with me."

"That's right, an old classmate who hasn't seen each other for decades, I can't help but pretend to be a joke behind."

"How do you know it's me? Have you been waiting at this door?"

Wang Dayong said: "Yes, I often sell fruit at the gate of the park, and I wait here every day. I recognized you as soon as you got out of the car. I am very familiar with that pickup truck. Secretary Xiao is sitting in it. Of course, get out of the car." If it's not you, who else?"

"Hehe, classmate Dayong's eyes are not bad either."

"You haven't changed much, I recognized it at a glance."

Zhu Xia: "We are all getting old."

Wang Dayong: "Let's go, old classmate, let's go in, they are waiting for us in the teahouse."

"Okay."

"Come up and take you for a ride. Dare you?"

"what?!"

Zhu Xia was surprised, she hadn't ridden a tricycle for many years.

"What's not to dare."

Wang Dayong pedaled the tricycle forward, Zhu Xia walked a few steps quickly, jumped up and sat on the side of the tricycle.

As if back to the school days, the male students pedaled on tricycles, and the female students sat on the side of the tricycle with hoes and shovels, singing songs all the way to participate in labor...

Wang Dayong pedaled a tricycle into the gate of the park.

Zhu Xia: "Don't let me in."

Wang Dayong: "It's okay."

Speeding up the speed, the tricycle ran fast, and Wang Dayong was still ringing the bell.

It's just ostentatious.

attracted the attention of a group of people.

The park has changed a lot, and it is no longer what Zhu Xia remembered.

Zhu Xia: "It's completely changed."

Wang Dayong: "This is newly built, of course you don't have the impression, you have to go inside to see the old look."

Zhu Xia: "Well, the parks in the past were not so wide. This square is so big."

There are groups of casual people in the square, with yellow hair hanging down and enjoying themselves.

The tricycle was parked at the gate of Xinyuan Teahouse.

Wang Dayong pressed the bell vigorously, still shouting: "Hey, come out quickly, come out quickly, look who I brought here."

Zhu Xia jumped off the tricycle and surveyed the surrounding environment.

"Wang Dayong, I just remembered, this is the former park. This lake, I still remember, is the lake where we rowed a boat! Why does it look so small now?"

"Haha, everyone's first impression when seeing this lake is: why is this lake so small?

Is it because our vision has become bigger, or the lake has shrunk. "

In fact, the lake is still the lake.

Following the voice, a woman came out from the gate of the teahouse.

"Zhu Xia..."

It's Chen Lili.Seeing her naturally curly hair, Zhu Xia recognized her.

"Chen Lili."

"Haha, you haven't changed..."

Chen Lili and Zhu Xia embraced each other.

After that, a woman ran out in a hurry.

"Hey Pigman, guess who I am?"

Zhu Xia clasped her fists in salute and called out Zhang Xiaohong's nickname: "Daxia Zhang. Long time no see. Kung fu has improved."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

This sentence made everyone laugh.

Zhang Xiaohong stepped forward and patted Zhu Xia on the shoulder.

"Heh, I didn't expect the representatives of the Chinese department to make jokes."

Chen Lili: "Don't stand outside, go in and talk."

Zhu Xia: "Do these things need to be moved in?"

Wang Dayong: "Don't worry about it, there is a waiter to take care of it."

Then came out two waiters wearing blue floral Chinese dresses.

Zhu Xia was already surrounded by Chen Lili and Zhang Xiaohong.

Chen Lili: "Let's take a tour first. This teahouse is a masterpiece of everyone."

The teahouse is quite big, and there is also a special studio exhibition hall.

There is also a tea ceremony performance room.

There is also a dining room and entertainment room.

In the restaurant, He Xiuli came out wearing an apron and said hello to Zhu Xia: "Zhu Xia, please sit down for a while, I have another dish, it will be ready soon."

Zhu Xia: "I'm so sorry, don't make it so complicated."

"It's not complicated, it's just a routine."

After He Xiuli finished speaking, she went into the kitchen again.

Zhang Xiaohong: "If you don't come, we still have to eat. This is the base for our classmates' reunion."

Chen Lili: "Let's sit in the garden. We can also watch our childhood lake up close."

A few people left the restaurant and entered the garden through a moon gate.

There are many flowering trees planted in the garden, and the clumps of green bamboos by the lake made Zhu Xia's memory deep.

Many years ago, they rowed a boat in the lake, rowed through this bamboo forest, and crossed an arch bridge...
