dream village

Shennong City is an ancient city with a long history. It is the birthplace of farming culture and the hometown of Cai Lun, the great inventor of papermaking. "Sanxiang ancient city", "Jingchu famous area".

With the trumpet of reform and opening up, Shennong City has also caught up with the fast lane of development by virtue of its coal resources, location, and transportation advantages.The city is changing day by day. The urban area has changed from a dozen square kilometers five years ago to more than 40 square kilometers. The streets have changed from one main street, Wuyi Road, to four vertical and four horizontal.In particular, the newly built Chengbei Road runs from the east of the city to the old town of Zaoshi in the west, parallel to the Wuyi Road, and runs through the entire city.

Urban buildings are more like mushrooms springing up all over the ground, and each building is taller and more beautiful than the last.Except for the old South Main Street, which basically kept its original appearance, all the other quaint buildings and low-slung houses disappeared almost overnight, and all of them were turned into high-rise buildings and boxy matchboxes.

In this way, the city becomes larger, the roads become wider, the city becomes more lively and prosperous, and people's lives become more prosperous.But in Zhang Tao's mind, these dazzling changes are always a bit unpleasant. He feels that the style and culture of the ancient city seem to be overwhelmed by this development.

Perhaps this is the sequela left by blindly seeking quick success and impractical development.But this is not the only case in Shennong City, it is also the case in most parts of the country.The combination of power and capital interprets China's development situation for political achievements and wealth, but it is ordinary people who really bear the pain and sequelae.

In the past, there was only one bus station in the center of Shennong City, but now there are three more stations in the east, west and north of the city.Shuidongjiang Bus Station is also a product of the urban development of Shennong City.It was newly built, with only one gate and a lonely office building, and then a large open space enclosed by a wall for parking.

The parking lot is not hardened, there are potholes everywhere, and the dust brought up by people and cars coming and going makes the air very turbid.Some small vendors shuttled back and forth, shouting and selling their wares.Some drivers or conductors who were about to depart the bus shouted loudly, "Get on the bus if you are going to such and such a place, the bus will leave soon!"

"Tugu, here we come!" Zhang Tao just walked to the station when a beautiful young woman in her twenties greeted him and walked towards him.

"Sister Tao, the car is about to leave!" Sister Tao is the owner of the car that Zhang Tao wants to take. Her lover left in a car accident the year before last, so she hired a driver to drive, sold the tickets herself, and continued to go to Gaotang to the city. lines.

Sister Tao carried a small black bag on her shoulder, was wearing a pink sportswear, and a pair of white sneakers on her feet, exuding youthful vigor and the courage of a mature young woman.Her thick long hair is casually draped over her shoulders, her slightly wheat-colored skin looks so healthy, her face is slightly reddish under the sun, her eyes are clear and bright, her willow eyebrows are curved, and she has long hair. The long eyelashes fluttered uncontrollably, and the thin lips outlined a perfect arc, which was extremely alluring.

Zhang Tao dodged Sister Tao's gaze, as if he was avoiding something, maybe he was avoiding Sister Tao's tender gaze and suffocating beauty!She is one of the most beautiful women around his hometown!Maybe it was her kind inquiry!Because he took her car into the city this morning, and she knew that she was here to see news about the college entrance examination.When she got out of the car, she still grabbed Zhang Tao and said, "Tugu, if you have good news, please come and tell me early, so that my sister can also be happy with you."

"Old Wang who is waiting for the Gaotang shop to move the goods, he can leave as soon as he comes." Sister Tao said as she walked towards the ice stall with sun umbrellas at the entrance of the station.

"Tugu, come and stand here to hide from the sun." Sister Tao waved to Zhang Tao and shouted.

"Okay." Zhang Tao also walked over there.

"Do you eat ice or drink?" Sister Tao seemed to be familiar with the stall owner, and asked as she opened the refrigerator.

"I just finished eating, forget it!" Zhang Tao hesitated and said.

Sister Tao lived in Gaotang Village, a neighboring village to Zhang Tao, and he had to pass her house when he came and went.In the past three years, he basically took her car into the city. She knew his family's difficult situation and usually took care of him a lot.The fare money is always only a symbolic charge.Almost every time she got off the car and went back to school, she would stuff him with a big bag of snacks.At first, although he tried his best to refuse, he still couldn't overcome her enthusiasm and had to accept it in panic.

He thought to himself, if you really want to give it, if I refuse it, it will hurt your face and hurt your enthusiasm, it is better to accept it openly, and then repay your kindness together when you have a future.

Later, she gave it more often, and he got used to it.If she didn't give it that time, he would feel unaccustomed instead, and would mutter in his heart, what's wrong!Why didn't you give me something this time?Are you mad at me or have you forgotten?

"Fool, are you still being polite to my sister? Eating has nothing to do with eating, it's just a dry mouth." Sister Tao cast a glance at Zhang Tao and said angrily.

"Then drink a bottle of water!" Zhang Tao couldn't stand Sister Tao's eyes, so he lowered his head and said shyly.

Sister Tao picked up a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap and said to Zhang Tao: "Don't be so embarrassing, my sister knows about you. Huang Yicheng from my village, who was in the same class as you, came back in my car in the morning. Everyone in the car shouting like popcorn knows it. There are a few people from your village in the car. They probably have passed the news to your village, and your parents must know about it. So don’t twist it Twitchy, evasive, if you fail the rankings, you will fail the rankings. You didn’t steal, rob or break the law. What’s there to be shy and sad? The more you have to be strong at this time, the more you have to hold your head up high. Your parents are coldhearted and bloody for you It’s not easy to study, they may feel more uncomfortable than you now, they hope to see their son’s confidence and sunny smile to continue to struggle, not the tears of being knocked down, understand?”

Sister Tao saw Zhang Tao staring blankly at her with a mineral water bottle, so she patted Zhang Tao's shoulder lovingly, and said softly, "Be good, don't think too much, everything will pass and everything will be fine."

After a pause, she said again: "Drink some frozen water! It will make your mind clearer, and it will freeze your boredom and sorrow into ice lumps." After finishing speaking, she might feel that what she said later It was interesting, so I laughed out loud.
