Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 823

The Land of Abundance is home to outstanding people.

In Rongcheng, the provincial capital, during this period, many streets were lined with plane trees, which shaded the sun and brought cool breeze.

The bus passing through it immediately dilutes the discomfort caused by the hot weather.

Especially when they reached Osmanthus Street, Lu Miao took Luo Xuan out of the car, saying that it was still early and wanted to take a walk.

There are many varieties of sweet-scented osmanthus planted on this street, some of which are also interspersed with some sweet-scented osmanthus, which is blooming at this time.

A burst of quiet flower fragrance, with the breeze at noon, can not help but make people feel a little drunk.

"How have you been all these years?"

Lu Miao tilted her head and asked, "Why do you run south for a while and go north for a while? Do you want to be a migratory bird?"

Luo Xuan smiled slightly, "While we are young, we have to respond to the call of our superiors to go to the most backward places, the most remote places, and the places that need us the most. Well, actually, I can't stay in one place for long. .

I always want to go to places that I have never been to, to experience the local customs.And you?I heard from your dad that you are working in the library now? "

"Well, it's quiet there, and there's a smell of books there."

Lu Miaodu's eyes were no longer as innocent as they were back then, but there was more worldly vicissitudes, "I also went to work in other units. When I first started, no one knew the relationship between me and my dad. Relationship.

So when I first came to work, everything was normal, I just had to do my job. "

"It's a pity that the good times don't last long, usually in the last three months, at most half a year. Hey! Basically, after this time point, the colleagues and leaders in the unit don't know where they heard the news, big guy Everyone will know my origin."

Hearing this, Luo Xuan understood:

Lu Miao has no ambitions or pursuits in her personal future. She just wants to go to work quietly and do things according to her duties.

But it's a pity that because of her unusual family relationship, even if Lu Miao wanted to be an ordinary person, it became a luxury.

Although she never went out to do things under the banner of Lu Gang, she never thought of gaining any personal benefits because of her father's influence.

But in reality, it is not allowed!

Just like a colorful golden pheasant, even though she never shows her gorgeous true colors to the outside world.

But it is impossible to hide in a large group of chickens.

Although most of the people in this period were selfless and business-like.

However, there are a small number of people who always want to climb high branches through such and such "relationships".

People who are leaning against big trees have no chance to face the wind and rain like the grass growing from the cracks in the rocks.
As soon as the wind blows, people will naturally rush over to add clothes for her; before it rains, a large number of people will take the initiative to send umbrellas over.

"Sometimes I really want to learn from you, go to those remote mountain villages, and live an ordinary life like that."

Lu Miao looked at Luo Xuan and asked, "Why don't you take me to the countryside to jump in the queue?"

Luo Xuan shook his head, "The flowers in the greenhouse are always envious of the wantonness of the wild flowers outside. The indoor bonsai trees are always envious of the ancient cypresses growing on the cliffs.
But what if the environment where it grows is really adjusted?What kind of result will that be, don't you know? "

Lu Miao was silent.

In fact, Lu Miao is not a person who likes to leave her familiar living environment. In this regard, she is the same as Chen Xiaoduan.

The life they like to live is a very stable state of life where they can predict what their own tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even next year will be like.

Once their living conditions changed drastically, Lu Miao and Chen Xiaoduan would become dazed and at a loss.

——After all, in this world, there are still a small number of people with an adventurous spirit; there are not many people who dare to have the courage to break their inherent living conditions at any time.

This is the same as the vast majority of ordinary factory workers and production team members: they like to go to and from work step by step, and live a stable life with regular and quantitative wages.

Once they are asked to choose a new job, most of them will fall into panic and be at a loss for the future.
Lu Miao is actually similar to them.

It's just that because Lu Miao's living conditions are more favorable, she will not face this choice.

Luo Xuan and Lu Miao walked on Osmanthus Street, and gradually, there were not many topics to talk about.

With the huge difference in life over the years, the distance between the two people has become farther and farther, and there is always an indescribable sense of alienation.

In order to break the embarrassment, Lu Miao proposed to eat first.

When entering the Shuxiang Building, according to the rules, you still have to go to the counter to order food first, and hand in the food stamps and money in advance.Then the restaurant arranged for employees to come and take the seats, and then the food began to be served.

The two ordered a couple's lung slices, a red oil and white meat, and Lu Miao tasted relatively light, so they ordered a stir-fried water spinach and a garlic-mashed cabbage heart, which was relatively rare in the mainland at that time.

Just as Luo Xuan took out the "National General Food Coupon" and cash, and was about to pay, Lu Miao held him down, "You are a guest here, how can I let you pay? Besides, you, the national general food How expensive are the tickets!

I have local food stamps in Rongcheng, so let me pay for them. "

The living conditions of both parties are very good, not short of this little money, so Luo Xuan is not polite, so let Lu Miao do it.

Unexpectedly, he was declined by the person in charge at the counter with a smile: "Which comrade, this restaurant is now a foreign-related restaurant. According to the regulations of relevant departments, you can eat first and then pay."

Eat first, pay later?

Luo Xuan couldn't help being a little puzzled: the customers who were in front of the queue clearly followed the old rules, order first and then pay.

Then the waiter led them to the seats and sat down according to the number.
Why did the rules change when it was my turn?After thinking about it a little bit, Luo Xuan can be sure: it's definitely not because of his handsome appearance.

That being the case, it seems that it has something to do with Lu Miao.

Luo Xuan, who didn't want to get too entangled in such details, simply ignored it.Although Lu Miao has a good background, her social experience is not too much.

Hearing what the person in charge of the restaurant said, Lu Miao, who is still very simple in nature, didn't think much about it.

After the service staff quickly brought up the dishes, start eating.

The two didn't talk much at the dinner table.

It was nothing more than Luo Xuan trying to persuade Lu Miao not to think wildly, it is good to work in the library.

The personnel structure there is simple, and the work is not too busy, which means that everyone is taking care of the elderly in advance, simply working like this for a lifetime.

As for Lu Miao, he repeatedly told Luo Xuan to take care of his health.

Don't be in such a hurry to do something, don't violate the general principles, but follow the trend and so on.

After finishing the meal, Lu Miao greeted the waiter softly, motioning for her to come and pay the bill.

Unexpectedly, the waitress just smiled at Lu Miao, then turned around and walked towards the counter instead.

Less than a minute later, the person in charge of the restaurant came over with a smile on his face, "I'm really sorry, the dishes on your table are new products that our restaurant has just launched."

Lu Miao was puzzled, "Excuse me, comrade, are you...?"

"Let's go."

Luo Xuan pulled Lu Miao up and said, "What the person in charge means is that we are lucky to be customers to try out the new dishes they just launched.
They just need us to give feedback on how the dishes taste, or what areas need improvement?That's all, meal money is not required. "

Luo Xuan turned his head and asked the person in charge of the restaurant, "That's how it is, right?"

"exactly!"

The smile on the person in charge's face was brighter than the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers on the street, "Our restaurant just wants to ask for your valuable dining opinions and suggestions, so the two comrades don't need to pay for these dishes."

New dishes just launched?

Lu Miao turned her head to look at the "Husband and wife lung slices" on the table. It has been around for hundreds of years, right?

Although "red oil and white meat" is not well-known, it is also a very common cold dish in Sichuan cuisine.

I really can't see that it has anything to do with the word "new style".

As for water spinach and garlic choy sum, this kind of cooking method also belongs to the common "Shanghe Gang" category, so what's so new about it?

However, Lu Miao's social experience is not that rich, but she is ice-snow smart. After a little thought, she figured out the key point.

Before going out, Lu Miao took out the corresponding food stamps and cash from her small satchel, put them on the cash register, and then left without looking back.

Although Lu Miao didn't know the person in charge here, and this restaurant was only the second time to eat.

But it can't hold back someone with a heart. They can recognize Lu Miao. This is the reason why she is troubled.

After leaving the restaurant, Lu Miao was not in the mood to go shopping, but got on the bus and prepared to go home.

Luo Xuan was also silent along the way, just staring out the window.

To be honest, after staying in the relatively desolate and remote Saibei for a long time, suddenly returning to this bustling metropolis is really heartbreaking, and it is inevitable that there will be an indescribable complex feeling.

The loess plateau that sings Xintianyou is desolate and heavy, barren but full of heat.

But here in Rongcheng, the scenery is more prosperous and noisy, and there is no lack of gentleness in the hotness.

"What are you looking at?"

Lu Miao lightly touched Luo Xuan's elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Are you busy looking at the hot girls in Rongcheng?"

Luo Xuan chuckled, "Yeah, it's so beautiful that I can't see it all. I only hate that I only have one pair of eyes. It's really not enough!"

In fact, during this period, everyone wore either blue uniforms or yellow high imitation military uniforms.

Even in this hot summer, the hot girls who have always been known for their pungent personalities are at worst wearing a small white shirt on their upper body.

The girls below are still wearing a pair of loose blue trousers like the girls in other places.

And their hair is either neat and short, or two thick braids.

It is said that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.

The big girls and young wives all over the street are all in this kind of neutral dress, how can there be any good or bad?

Compared with the girls in Saibei, they have fairer skin and more delicate faces.

When the bus reached an area full of small alleys, Lu Miao got off the bus with Luo Xuan.

"Give me an address, and I can go by myself." When I returned to my hometown this time and saw old people, I always felt an indescribable sense of alienation in my heart.

So Luo Xuan said: "I still won't delay your work, you can go directly to the library to do your work, anyway, it's not easy for you to participate in my conversation with your father."

Lu Miao smiled slightly, "The alleys in this area are very complicated. Even if I write the address for you on a piece of paper, you may have to work hard to find it."

"Besides, when you finally find a place, you won't even be able to get in through the courtyard door."

Lu Miao smiled a little reluctantly, "The yard where my family lives is different from before. If it was before, we and the children in the yard could still play together and want to go shopping with each other."

"But now, some of them jump in line, some go to work, and because of those playmates when they were young, the jobs of their parents have changed a lot..."

Lu Miao sighed, "Even if the best girlfriends we played with when we were young are back, we occasionally meet each other in the yard, and at most we just nod and say hello lightly. We don't have the same intimacy as before. "

"Sometimes I even think about it. When I was a child, I looked forward to growing up every day. Now that I have grown up, I miss my childhood very much. It's just that I can't go back now."

Lu Miao pulled Luo Xuan up and left, "Let's go, in fact, sometimes, I think it's better to remember than to meet.

What Lu Miao said now has a meaning.

But it's more of a feeling.

So in this era of great changes and great breakthroughs, too many things happened, and the changes were too fast.

Lu Miao led Luo Xuan to a place with lush trees and a small river beside it.

While continuing to sigh: "Now I suddenly find that instead of going to a teahouse with everyone to sit, listen to operas, and watch face-changing, in fact, it is better to just maintain correspondence. On the contrary, everyone is more relaxed and harmonious. .”

Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

In recent years, Lu Miao has also written letters to Luo Xuan, and like before, he will put some food coupons, cash and so on in the letters.

It's just that Lu Miao hasn't replied to her a few times, but when she writes back, most of them are to ask her not to send me any more things.
In fact, not accepting these things is equivalent to rejecting other people's good intentions, and even cutting off the bond between each other to connect with each other.

When people grow up, they will gradually be wrapped up by society.

Everyone, consciously or unconsciously, will put a protective shell on themselves.

No one will easily open their hearts and show their most vulnerable side to others.

Perhaps this is the price of growth?
I arrived at a place where there were a few yellow horned orchid trees in the yard, and the outside of the yard was full of creepers and countless sweet-scented osmanthus.

Lu Miao turned to the concierge, which was hidden behind the lush greenery and almost completely integrated with the surrounding environment, and showed her ID through the glass window.

Then a simple and heavy wooden door slowly opened.

The big wooden door, which is obviously heavy at first glance, opened slowly, but quietly.

Wait until you enter the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a few towering trees. With the shade of the trees, the hustle and bustle and hot air outside will disappear in an instant.

Between the tall treetops and the evergreens that are as tall as half a person, the corners of several villas are faintly exposed.

Lu Miao walked ahead silently, and then entered the quietest and neatest corner of the yard, the antique two-story villa.

The two walked to the porch in front of the villa.

Lu Miao was just about to find the key from the satchel, but the door was opened first.

It turned out to be Lu Gang, who came down to open the door himself, "My good boy, I thought that after so many years, the wind and sand in Mobei would ruin you into a half-grown old man. You are a good guy, but you haven't changed at all? !"
