Fengcheng old events

Chapter 249
The next day, Zhang Xinglong went to Benxi alone.

At this time, he would no longer get in the wrong car, and he was already familiar with buying goods with Liu Guixin back and forth.

Buy a ticket, check the ticket and board the train, and arrive at Benxi with a bang.There is always an inexplicable excitement surging in my heart along the way.

After getting out of the car, I ran to drink a bowl of wonton shortbread, and then walked to Xinhua Bookstore with excitement.

His memory is quite good, and he will never forget a place he has walked once, and he can clearly distinguish the north, south, east, and west.

He can find it everywhere except he doesn't know how to take a bus.I have never taken a bus since I was a child, and I rely on my feet everywhere.Commonly known as the eleventh road.

People don't bother to walk these days. Unless necessary, they usually walk everywhere. One is to save money on the fare, and the other is that they really don't feel too far away or tired.At this time, the bustling area in the center of BX is indeed not that big,
Draw a circle with a radius of one kilometer with the square in front of the railway station as the center, and the half circle east of the railway basically covers shopping malls, parks, hospitals, bookstores, government and so on.

Going further to the periphery are basically residential areas and factories, not places for shopping.At this time, Benxi Iron and Steel's factory area in the city was much larger than that in the city center.

I went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a few books, and the whole morning passed. It took a lot of time to choose books, and I had to read them one by one.

I came out with a few books stamped with the seal of Xinhua Bookstore, and walked along Wenhua Road to the station.There is a wall on the side of this road, engraved with some famous people and deeds of Benxi in modern times, he just looked at it all the way.

There was a stall selling antiques (handicrafts) in the middle. Zhang Xinglong looked at it for a while, and they were all ancient coins, incense burners, bracelets and the like, which he didn't understand and had no interest in.

Wanting to go to the park, he has only been to the Children's Paradise once, and that was when he was in elementary school, when his mother brought him and his brother.I have been to Huayuan Mountain a few times, but it is limited. Liu Guixin and Zhang Qingzhi really don't have time to play with their children, and financially they don't allow it.

I also want to visit the Children's Palace. According to the teachers and classmates, it is a magical place specially built for children. He also knows the place. It is just across from the Children's Paradise.

But in the end he chose to go to the mall.He is hungry.

After eating a delicious meal of altar meat and rice, Zhang Xinglong forgot about the children's palace in the park, and went into the shopping mall when he came out.

He has come to the mall quite often, and the affiliated company has visited one hundred and two hundred. In this era, shopping is shopping at the mall. Every time Liu Guixin comes to the city, he has to take a walk around the city, even if he doesn't buy anything.

Lianying, Universal, and Zhang Xinglong strolled slowly by themselves, looking at clothes, leather shoes, watches, lighters, and tape recorders. Although he couldn't afford anything, he just wanted to see them.

He also found the induction lighter, and it sold for [-].

He also saw the advertisement of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, the Great Wall Credit Card. With this card, you can spend and buy things without having money, so he thought, if only I had one.He wanted to go to the bank to ask, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare.

Just walking aimlessly, strolling, watching, the excitement of carrying a huge sum of more than 200 yuan in my pocket disappeared, and I found that things are so expensive, I can’t afford anything, and I am reluctant to buy it.

After hesitating again and again, he bought himself a dark green canvas schoolbag, which was waterproof and had wear-resistant protection on the corners.

If only I could have a lot of money.For the first time, he had a huge yearning for money.

The sky was getting dark, the cold wind picked up suddenly, and the temperature began to cool down.

Zhang Xinglong reluctantly ended the trip, bought a bus ticket and returned to Nanfen.

For the first time, he discovered that Nanfen is so remote, like a big pocket, with trains passing parallel to the mouth of the pocket, and everything here has nothing to do with the outside world, like a small world that exists independently.

There are three factories here, the residents are the workers of these three factories, and the factories are their world.

Occlusion, hysteresis.

There are no outsiders here, and the information is always not so timely. Everyone's eyes are only on the factory, never thinking about the outside world.

But what's the use of thinking about it?Don't people have to work in factories if they are alive?Zhang Xinglong couldn't figure it out.When you grow up, you can earn money and do what you want to do.

Carrying a new schoolbag with a few books in it, he walked from Nanfen back to Guobao's house.

It was already dark, and Liu Guixin and Zhang Xingjun had closed the stalls.

"Hey, you're back from your trip? This guy, you've been away for a whole day, what did you buy?" Zhang Qingzhi saw him and asked.

"Schoolbag, I even bought books."

"Have you run out of money? You really don't want to touch your hands."

"No, I haven't spent all the money, too little to buy anything."

"What do you want to buy? Is more than 100 yuan not enough?" Zhang Qingzhi turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xinglong. In his impression, children are just buying snacks and pictures. More than 100 yuan is a lot of money even in his hands.

Zhang Xinglong licked his lips, and took a careful look at Zhang Qingzhi: "We can't afford tape recorders, bicycles, watches, lighters, color TVs, videos, clothes and shoes."

Zhang Qingzhi was stunned for a moment and laughed aloud: "You are a poor kid, just look at some pictures and find something to play with, and you can also have a tape recorder and a bicycle. What are you looking at?"

"I like it, my classmates have it."

Liu Guixin gave Zhang Xinglong a piece of food with chopsticks: "Then go to school hard, and when you are admitted to the technical school, mom will buy you everything."

"Really?"

"Really, study hard, you three are all, and you will buy it if you pass the exam.

Zhang Xingjun glanced at Liu Guixin without saying a word.

"Isn't your book still there? Flip through it in your spare time. Next year, you will go to the technical school. It's not a big deal to stay at home all the time. The technical school is easy to take the test. It turns out that your second brother and the others have spent so many years of studying. Yes, it’s not that many exams.”

"Can it be the same?" Zhang Xingjun's face twitched together.

A few years ago, in order to attract unemployed young people, the technical school kept the score line very low. At that time, the second brother and the others only had to memorize a political test with a score of 86 or [-], and they were basically hopeful. Is there something good to do?

"Try it, you can read without losing a piece of meat. I think the score line this year is in the early [-]s, and you are not stupid." Zhang Qingzhi glared at the boss.

"En." Zhang Xingjun nodded helplessly. More than 170 points are called early one hundred?You are the father, you have the final say.

"You three, it would be great if you could all get admitted to the technical school. Your dad and I can wake up laughing from our dreams. Then our family will be fine." Liu Guixin is looking forward to the future.

Knowledge, geography, and vision limit her imagination. It is her greatest wish that her three sons can enter the factory and become workers for all the people.

At the end of the 80s, technical secondary schools were absolutely popular. It was because they were admitted to technical secondary schools that they could get a job and secure a permanent job.

There is also a problem of habit here. A group of people who have been around the factory all their lives can't see the outside world.
