The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 62 The Great Wall Is Not A Hero

Yan Jiecheng rested at home for two days, and got up early on the third day.

Today we made an appointment to climb the Great Wall with Lao Xie and the others.

If they don't go to the Great Wall, they are not heroes. They must not miss the Great Wall when they come to the capital for business.

The Great Wall of Sijiucheng is famous for Badaling in Yanqing, Juyongguan in Changping, Mutianyu in Huairou and Simatai in Miyun.

As the head of the Great Wall, Badaling is the essence of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. Its dangerous terrain and majestic architecture have been a strategic military location for Gongwei Lingjing since ancient times.

Yan Jiecheng and the others naturally chose Badaling.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, we have arrived at the meeting place at the foot of the mountain.

Seen from a distance, the Badaling area is full of lofty mountains, deep ravines and dangerous ravines.

Lao Xie and the others are wearing relatively new clothes today, and they are very clean.

But at this moment, the trouser legs were already covered with dust.

After all, today's Qianmen Street is still a dirt road.

Let alone other places.

"It's such a one man guarding the gate, ten thousand men can't open it. It's really a winding and magnificent horse."

Looking at the winding Great Wall, Lao Xie couldn't help sighing excitedly.

In Yan Jiecheng's view, the Badaling Great Wall is still desolate, and there are few tourists today.

It can't be compared with future generations at all.

Looking at the dilapidated scene, he suddenly thought of a joke in later generations.

Do you want to tile the Great Wall?

Apart from Yan Xiecheng and the others, there were some scattered people.

These people have everything.

Some, like Yan Jiecheng, wore shorts and undershirts.

There are also those who wear trousers and shirts like Lao Xie and the others.

There were also older ones, in robes.

Yan Jiecheng saw that everyone was carrying water bottles, so he stopped reminding them.

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said: "Don't look at it, what are you waiting for, just climb."

Brother Liu said with a smile: "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero. We are all fine, but I am afraid that Lao Xie will have diarrhea later."

Yan Jiecheng smiled and said, "Lao Xie has a sister-in-law, so it's normal to have diarrhea. Brother Liu, don't worry about it when the time comes."

"That can't be."

A few people talked and laughed and climbed up.

Halfway up the climb, I met a foreign man and woman. The blond hair and blue eyes looked like European and American seeds.

The man is in his 50s and the woman is in her twenties. She is dressed very coolly, and the granary is half exposed. It is not something ordinary people can grasp at first sight.

Trekking poles, backpacks, and sneakers look very professional and rich.

These days, foreigners are still relatively rare, but this is the capital after all, so it is not unusual.

Over the past 100 years, foreign affairs have always been the top priority. Although everyone is curious when they meet foreigners.

But he just stopped for a while and took a few more glances.

Did not dare to come forward to say hello, when passing by.

Yan Xiecheng thought it was the father and daughter, until he heard the foreign couple chatting.

Male: "Do you know how long the Great Wall is?"

The woman smiled, looked at him and said, "I know, just like I know how long you are."

Yan Jiecheng was silent in his heart.

You can die if you don’t blow it, why can’t you hang it like this, what’s the use of it, I’m 60 or [-] years old, I don’t know if it can still be used.

Yan Jiecheng didn't have much to do, he just touched the wall and sighed in his heart: Sometimes tall and solid stones and city bricks that have gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain can't compare to some people's shame.

After climbing for two hours, it turned out that Lao Xie couldn't do it. First of all, he couldn't hold on, so a few people sat on the steps to drink water and rest.

Lao Xie drank a few sips of water, looked at the city wall, looked at the lookouts and shooting ports on the piles, and sighed: "Only when you see this city wall with your own eyes, will you understand how determined we are to resist foreign enemies."

Brother Liu said with a smile: "Old Xie also worries about the country and the people when he comes out to play, he has the demeanor of Mr. Xiwen.

Let me tell you, the countless rocks here weigh two to three thousand kilograms each, and they are lifted up the steep mountain step by step by relying on countless shoulders and countless hands.

It is much more difficult than our railway repair, but these craftsmen should be admired the most.

In the past, these people were all lowly, and they didn't even have a name left behind.

It's still good now, the salary is high, respected, and the work is hard, isn't it? "

Brother Zhang is also from Jinmen, a colleague from the same unit as Lao Xie, and explained: "Liu Gong, you are right.

But our Xie Gong, you don't know that he is different from those who came out of our schools.

He was born as the commander of the four-field engineer company, and I heard that he had a small life, so when he saw the Great Wall, he naturally thought of gold and iron horses, which was different from what we thought.

Is it thanks for your work? "

"Hey, I really told you to talk. I just saw the Great Wall, and I remembered the days when I used to build trenches."

Yan Jiecheng wasn't surprised either. It's only been a few years since he played Little Life, and he has wrestled with Little Life everywhere.

After the break, several people continued.

Finally at noon, we climbed to the top.

A few people were as tired as Erha, but fortunately there was a tea stand on the top, which was run by an old man.

Five cents for a bowl of herbal tea is not cheap, but fortunately, their wages are not low, Yan Xiecheng is the lowest, but he can accept it.

After drinking a bowl of herbal tea, I immediately felt refreshed.

Only then did Yan Jiecheng get more thoughtful, looking at the old man's tea stand.

It's very simple, a simple table, four folding stools, two large buckets for tea and a pair of shoulder poles, that's all.

Only through conversation.

Every morning, the old man got up early and carried everything up the mountain with a pole.When it was sold out in the afternoon, I went down the mountain.

Yan Jiecheng saw the old man in his 60s.Then he asked, "Aren't you tired?"

The old man smiled and said: "Why is this tiring? Isn't it just climbing a mountain? I have been climbing every day for almost 30 years.

Besides, the tea on this mountain sells well.I earn three yuan a day, isn't it better than you go to work? "

Yan Jiecheng: Hehe, you are connoting me.

"Hahaha, Xiao Yan was hit."

Seeing this scene, Lao Xie laughed.

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you. You still have more than 50 yuan a month, which is much better than most people."

Yan Jiecheng rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "You people don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. You all get a salary of more than 100 yuan, and you laugh at me as a small worker with 50 yuan."

Brother Liu hurriedly said from the side: "Who dares to laugh at our leader Yan, see if I don't beat him, is it Team Leader Yan?"

Yan Jiecheng: Destroy it, I'm tired, I don't want to love anymore.

Lao Xie patted Yan Jiecheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "You can be content, kid, after all, you are still young. I was still wearing the old sleeve when I was 17 years old."

Listen, are these comforting words?Obviously showing off.

Besides, what happened to the old sleeve, even Li Yunlong had to carry it from the old sleeve.

Several people drank two bowls of herbal tea and ate some food they brought.Climbing high and looking far away, each expressed the arrogance in their chests.

This is ready to go back.

As the old saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down the mountain.

After a lot of hardships, several people finally ended their day's trip, and finally walked with their legs sprawled.

Before leaving, I made an appointment to go to the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth tomorrow.Anyway, Yan Jiecheng had never been there in his past and present lives, so he agreed.
