Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

Chapter 624 Stay

After sending Ming Xiaofen off to get married and having breakfast, Yang Yukun and his party said goodbye to Ming Xiaofen's parents and relatives and returned to the hotel.

Yao Yulan and Long Tingguo went back to the hotel to pack their things, then went to Qianzhou Railway Station and got on the train back to Jiangyou Yuzhang.

Zhu Jing went to the state guest house first with Yang Yukun, Xu Jingping, and Xiao Zongzi.

Wu Meng will come from Hecheng to pick up Zhu Jing in the afternoon, and then the couple will return to Spring City in southern Yunnan together.

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping will stay in Qianzhou for another day and take a bus to Shicheng County, Sichuan Province early tomorrow morning.

There is no train from Qianzhou to Shicheng County, so you can only take a long-distance bus and take the Sichuan-Hunan Highway.

The ticket is for tomorrow morning and I need to stay in Qianzhou for another night.

"Quiet, Lao Wu, have a safe journey."

"Jingping, Xiaokun, goodbye."

"When are you free to go to the imperial capital?"

Changing places with Xu Jingping, Yang Yukun held the little rice dumpling and admired the scenery outside the window.

"Goodbye, Aunt Jingjing."

After sending Zhu Jing and Wu Meng away, Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the little zongzi out for a walk, found a restaurant for dinner, and walked back to the state capital guest house.

I wanted to let her sit by the window so she could enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wuling Mountain, but she said she was scared to sit and look outside.

"This road is a bit scary. The car looks like it's hanging in the air."

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"

Yang Yukun took the little rice dumpling from Xu Jingping and asked her to sit near the aisle.

If she were to drive on this road, she might not even dare to drive. I really admire the driver's skills to drive so fast in such road conditions.

"Goodbye little Zongzi, Aunt Jingjing will miss you."

"This little girl is so brave."

"Daughter-in-law, please sit inside and give me the little zongzi."

The mountains are high, the valleys are deep, the roads are winding, and the clouds and mist are shrouded, which makes it look particularly scary.

Sitting in the car, Xu Jingping glanced out of the car window. He couldn't see the road under his feet at all. The car seemed to be floating in the sky.

"It's okay. We have to trust the driver's skills. Look at Xiao Zongzi, he doesn't know what fear is at all."

But this girl, Xiao Zongzi, didn't know what fear was at all. She lay on the car window and screamed, not to mention how excited she was.

"it is good."

"Daughter-in-law, do you know where this place is?"

"Wow...hehe..."

Early the next morning, they found a rice noodle shop and made a bowl of rice noodles. Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping took the rice dumplings to Qianzhou Bus Station and got on the long-distance bus to Shicheng County, Sichuan.

The couple said goodbye to their family of three and went to the train station to take the train back to Spring City.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Meng rushed from Hecheng to Qianzhou after finishing his work and came to pick up Zhu Jing at the state guest house.

"do not know."

"After crossing this river, you will reach the border between Sichuan and Sichuan. Have you read Mr. Shen's "Border Town"?"

"Of course I have. Is this a border town?"

"That's right, where we are now is Chadong, opposite Hong'an in Gaoshan County, Sichuan. This is the prototype of Mr. Shen's border town, and Laladu is at that location."

The car got on the bridge connecting Xiangchu and Sichuan. Yang Yukun pointed to the downstream location and told Xu Jingping that Laladu was at that location.

In the past life, many people regarded Phoenix as the prototype of the border town. In fact, the real border town refers to this small area where Xiangchu Chadong and Sichuan-Sichuan Hong'an are across the river.

"Xiao Kun, let's go down and take a walk."

Xu Jingping liked "Border Town" written by Mr. Shen very much. By chance, she passed by the place where the story took place, and she wanted to get out of the car and go shopping.

"Row."

At this time, the scenic spot has not been developed yet, so I don’t know if there is any place to stay.

Now that they got out of the car, it was impossible for the driver to stop and wait for them.

But since Xu Jingping wanted to go shopping, Yang Yukun would naturally not object.

Anyway, I came out this time to travel and attend a wedding. "Master, please stop the car."

"I remember, didn't your family go to Shicheng and get off here?"

"We want to hang out here."

"Then I won't wait for you."

"Master, you don't have to wait for us. Could you please ask if you have a car driving to Sichuan every day?"

"Yes, it's available every day, but there's only one bus a day. You can wait here around this time tomorrow, wave to the bus, and just get on and pay.

There is a bus to the county town every morning in this town. You can also go to the county town and take a bus to Shicheng. "

"Master, thank you."

"You're welcome, you guys just sit here, I'll refund you part of the fare."

"Master, no need."

"If you want it, it's one code. I can't control others. I can't charge you more. I'm a retired veteran and a member of the army."

"Master, thank you and wish you a safe journey."

Yang Yukun and Xu Jingping never thought about asking the driver to refund their money, but the driver insisted on refunding part of it to them.

If you say you are a soldier, you are a member, and you cannot charge arbitrarily or take advantage of the people.

"Xiao Kun, you hold Xiao Zongzi, and I will take a photo of you and Xiao Zongzi."

"Row."

"Click..."

"I'll take two pictures for you two, too."

"Little Zongzi, smile."

"whee……."

"Come on, wife, let's go down there, and then take the Laradu to Chadong opposite."

"Row."

A family of three strolled along the quaint streets, the cameras in their hands clicking away.

"I didn't expect there to be a bank in this small town."

"Reconstruction Bank, this is the former site of the bank during the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, the two small towns across the river were important commercial towns, otherwise there would not be a bank in the town."

"Command."

"The headquarters for reforming the Greater Southwest is located here."

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

The two of them took the rice dumplings into the renovated Greater Southwest Headquarters, the former site of the Renaissance Bank.

After paying homage, the family of three continued walking down the old street towards the pier and ferry.

At the ferry terminal, there is a tower of quotations from the mentor. The family of three took a few photos under the tower as a souvenir.

"Xiao Kun, look at Laradu in Mr. Shen's book."

The boatman pulled the boat from the Chadong Pier on the opposite side. He used a wooden stick in his hand to pull the steel cable across the river to pull the ferry, exactly as described in the book.

Xu Jingping stood at the ferry dock holding the little rice dumplings. With the advancing Lala Ferry as the background, Yang Yukun took several photos of the couple.

"It's a pity that I couldn't see Cuicui."

"Every girl living here is Cuicui."

"Xiao Kunzi, you are right, the boat is here, little Zongzi, let's get on the boat."

"whee……."

The family of three boarded the ferry with the local fellows. When they learned that the family of three were here for fun, they all enthusiastically acted as their guides and invited them to their home for dinner.

There is no place to stay in the town, and few outsiders come.

I can't go to Gaoshan County now if I want to. There is no car to go to the county at this point, so I really have to rely on the help of my fellow villagers for food and accommodation.
