The leisurely life of rebirth.

It was already mid-afternoon when they walked out of the train station. Fang Monan saw Liang Zi and Han Zhiqian waiting for them, "Hey, how did you know we would come?"

"Hehe... When you called home, your aunt told us about your itinerary." Han Zhiqian said with a smile, "And the postmark on the letter you mailed also told you where you are."

"What about you?" Fang Monan looked at Liang Zi and asked curiously.

"We came to buy the goods, and the thin monkey left first with the goods. I heard from Zhiqian that you are coming, so I stayed!" Liang Zi said, he hesitated to speak, thought for a while but didn't open his mouth.

"Hey! Where's your luggage? Why are there so few?" Han Zhiqian looked at the passers-by in the square. It wasn't just those with big bags and small bags, but some with bedding.Fortunately, they only have a small duffel bag, which is still deflated. [

"Big summer, I only brought a change of clothes and grooming utensils." Fang Monan waved his hands.

"Yes! If you have money, you might not be able to buy it." Han Zhiqian said with a smile.

Liang Zi took the luggage bag and hurriedly said, "Let's go! It's under the sun."

A group of people walked to the car, "Young Master Han, I've received someone." Yan Guangxing jumped out of the car and said.

"I'm Yan Guangxing, hello." He saw the people behind Han Zhiqian, old and young, and wondered why Young Master Han would come to pick him up in person, such a group of people.

After everyone got into the car, they drove all the way, "Where are we going now?" Fang Monan sat in the car and asked Han Zhiqian.

"Oh! Now go to the newly opened White Swan Hotel." Han Zhiqian said while driving the car.

"White Swan Hotel is the first Sino-foreign cooperative hotel in China." Fang Monan said, "It opened on February 2 this year. The main building is 6 floors high, with 28 rooms and many restaurants." The first four doors open to the public The open high-end hotels have become a mouthpiece for promoting reform and opening up, and have enhanced the confidence of the masses in the country's future. Many national leaders have come to live here.And it is the first batch of five-star hotels, but these Fang Monan didn't say anything, and slandered them in his heart.

"You know that too." Liang Zi asked while sitting in the passenger seat.

"It was published in the newspaper. It's so strange." Mr. Lin said, as if he was the only one who was surprised.

Talking and laughing along the way, we soon arrived at the White Swan Hotel.After getting off the car, Liang Zi looked at the towering building, "It's one floor higher than Yangcheng Hotel."

The group of them got on the elevator and went directly to the 20th floor. Han Zhiqian took the key from the service desk and opened the room for everyone to enter.

Yan Guangxing wondered, why did they live in such a luxurious hotel? If you look carefully, you can't tell their origins from their clothes, behavior, and manners!

Yan Guangxing walked in the corridor. As a native of Yangcheng, he was already mentally prepared for how the guests from the small northern county would behave.Frightened by the high-end hotel, he shrank and looked around curiously.Among these people, the only ones that surprised him were a little girl and an old man.He could feel from the eyes and demeanor of the two of them that instead of being intimidated by the upscale hotel, on the contrary, there seemed to be some disapproval and disdain for the conditions of the hotel.

Han Zhiqian arranged them in a deluxe standard room and asked Liang Zi and Yan Guangxing to take care of and guide them, while he directly led Fang Monan to the deluxe suite on the 25th floor.

Now Yan Guangxing was even more surprised, because he found that Han Shao was not only very nice to the little girl, but also kind to the little girl.

Fang Monan and the others directly entered the room, the luxury suite, the living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom that Fang Monan had seen, one bedroom, two living rooms and one bathroom.

Fang Monan sat on the sofa, Han Zhiqian poured two cups of tea, and took a sip himself, "It's much more comfortable now, it's a pain to come here in the hottest season of the year."

"No way, only this time period." She shrugged, Nai said.For the future of my aunt and the others, I had no choice but to take this opportunity to attack the two of them. [

"After seeing the room, how do you feel?" Han Zhiqian asked expectantly, with quick praise in his eyes, let's give it a compliment!

"Generally speaking, my design is definitely better than it, although it is designed by the famous designer I.M. Pei." It was considered top-notch at this period, but it was still not as wide as her experience and vision.

"Oh!" Han Zhiqian sat up straight, raised his eyebrows curiously, wishing to hear more about it.

"Okay, let's not talk about it now. We've been here for about a week, and we have time to answer your questions." Fang Monan stood up and walked into the bedroom.

"Hey! You don't take a shower, it's so hot." Han Zhiqian said.

"No, it's not hot either." Fang Monan's body temperature will automatically adjust after she has advanced in cultivation, so she doesn't feel hot. "Agui, have I contacted you?"

"I don't have many contacts, he must be very busy." Han Zhiqian said.

"This is my latest design." Fang Monan took out the design drawing and handed it to him, and he looked at it seriously.

"'Nannan' is a real drain on a man's wallet." Han Zhiqian covered his wallet with a pained face, playing with his treasure. "It's just fascinating for women."

"Hehe... that's good, otherwise what would we earn?" Fang Monan said with a smile.

*****************************

"Here you can overlook the cityscape of Yangcheng and the beautiful scenery of the Pearl River, and it is even more beautiful at night." Yan Guangxing introduced the facilities and applications of the room to his grandma and the others, opened the curtain and pointed outside.

"Wow...it's so nice here." Fang Mobei took off his shoes and jumped up and down on the bed.

"Wash up, we'll be over later." Liang Zi, the old man and Yan Guangxing went out to let them have a rest.

Yan Guangxing led Mr. Lin and Qi Qiushi to another room, and asked them both to wash up.He and Liang Zi went to find Han Zhiqian.

Han Zhiqian heard the knock on the door, put away the drawings, got up and opened the door, and saw Liang Zi and the others coming in, "What? They've packed everything up."

"No, we just sat there and had nothing to do, so we came up." Yan Guangxing came in with a smile.

"Then come in!" Han Zhiqian turned his head, and saw that Fang Monan on the sofa had disappeared, and then heard the sound of running water, and Mingjing didn't say anything in his heart.

"It's the first time for me to enter a luxurious suite, it's really luxurious." Yan Guangxing asked again with emotion, "Have you seen Liang Zi!"

"It's pretty good." Liang Zi looked around and said: "It's delicious but only three meals a day, and sleeps only three feet. Besides, it's just a place to sleep." Liang Zi's words choked Yan Guangxing.After seeing Fang Monan's perverted money making, he doesn't have much interest in these now.

"Hey! What's the origin of that little girl? Let Young Master Han pick it up in person." Yan Guangxing saw Han Zhiqian leave, and asked Liang Zi beside him.

"Curiosity killed the cat. It's up to you to know, and you'll know when the time comes." Liang Zi sat on the sofa calmly, and said something to him with a hint of warning.What he is thinking about now is how to follow Fang Monan and his group. This is a task assigned by Sister Dayan that must be completed. It seems easy to complete, but Nan Nan is not an ordinary person. [

"Hmph! Who cares? I don't know how to check it myself." Yan Guangxing muttered.

"Be careful of killing yourself, this is my last advice to you. Remember." Liang Zisen said coldly as if from hell, and stared at him sharply.

Yan Guangxing felt uneasy when he stared at him coldly, "Understood, I'll wait for you to tell me it's okay."

When Han Zhiqian came out after making the phone call, he saw the two sitting in a courteous manner, neither paying attention to the other. "What's wrong……"

"Let's go now! I'm hungry." Fang Monan came out of the bedroom, and changed into a floral cotton short sleeve and shorts, which were made by his mother, cool and sweat-absorbing.

"Okay, let's go! I made a reservation just now." Han Zhiqian said.

A few of them went downstairs to take grandma and the others to the Chinese restaurant, which is located on the third floor.The design is full of traditional Lingnan characteristics, and you can eat authentic Yangcheng cuisine in your mouth.

"Hmm... It's much more delicious than other places we live in." The aunt said, "But it's still not as good as the food in our hometown."

"Of course, people's taste habits are difficult to change in a short period of time. This is the difference." Mr. Lin said.

There is no rule of not talking when eating, and a meal is full of fragrance.After dinner, Han Zhiqian took them to visit the famous places of the hotel.

The design of the White Swan Hotel inherits the essence of traditional Chinese gardens and Lingnan traditional gardens, and blends with the surrounding elegant environment. The atrium takes Bishan Waterfall as the main scene, forming a unique Lingnan style, with historical and cultural connotations as a whole. The functions integrated into the architectural space make them amazing, and it is worthy of being a frontier province of reform and opening up.

When the first day came, everyone was a little tired. After shopping for more than an hour, they went back to their rooms to rest.

After Han Zhiqian sent Fang Monan and his party to the room, they also opened a standard room for Liang Zi and Yan Guangxing. In the following days, they led Fang Monan and the others around Yangcheng, and he had something to do, so he drove to the clothing branch in Yangcheng .

In the room of Mr. Lin and Qi Qiushi.

"Uncle Lin, what is the relationship between Han Zhiqian and our family, and why did he entertain us so warmly?" Qi Qiushi asked curiously, pointing to the surroundings.

"He! A good friend of our relatives, he is not here in reality, so he will receive him." Mr. Lin stood by the door, looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside, and the quietly flowing Pearl River.

"Uncle Lin, I think Xiaoyan and I are becoming more and more impossible now." Qi Qiushi sat on the bed and said dejectedly, the little bit of self-confidence he had before had been knocked into the dust.With his current salary, let alone supporting his wife, he can even support himself.Looking at what I saw and heard along the way, there is no hope at all.

"You! Do you want to give up." Mr. Lin tentatively asked, as if he hated iron but steel.

"Uncle Lin, I don't want to give up. I thought I was very happy when you brought me to play this time, but now it seems that this is simply the last supper! Let me take a closer look at the relationship between us." How big is the gap in reality." Qi Qiushi tried to calm down, "I don't want to give up, her name is already engraved in my heart, even if I can't be with Xiaoyan, I will bless her." He confessed: "I saw other colleagues being raped before. My wife is strict, and I always laugh at them for being worthless. If I am sure to revive my husband, they just laugh it off and say I don’t understand. Now I understand, it’s a happy smile, I’d rather be Xiaoyan now It is strictly controlled, but now even the chance is almost gone."

"Silly boy, how is Xiaoyan treating you these days!" Elder Lin asked.

"It's because she's been nice to me that I feel hopeless. She hasn't been so nice to me before." Qi Qiushi thought for a while.

"This is simply a gentle knife, which makes me restless."

"Then you don't want to change the status quo." Mr. Lin couldn't understand him complaining about himself, and the more he said it, the more shameful he said directly.

"Change the status quo, how to change it!" Qi Qiushi looked at him in confusion and asked modestly.

"Boy, what do you think of Dachengzi's feed factory and Liangzi's 'Jiajiale' store." Mr. Lin began to enlighten him.

"In my opinion, they have done a good job, they are very courageous, they can endure hardships and stand hard work, and their status has fallen." He thought for a while and said, "But what do I have..." "Wait a minute, old man, what do you mean, I will come out too Do it. Let me think about it, you let me think about it."

Mr. Lin lay on the bed and watched him wait for a long time.

"But I'm afraid! Who knows when this world will change again." Qi Qiushi thought for a long time, and then popped out such a sentence.

When Mr. Lin heard it, he said, "Don't be afraid, that chaotic era will never come again. Now that you have enough food and clothing, do you still want to live like that?"

"No, most people's thinking is to have enough food and clothing, have money to go to school, and no longer live a hard life." Qi Qiushi said firmly.

"Yeah! I don't want to mess around, I don't want to continue to lag behind the world." Mr. Lin said with emotion.

"You should work as a mechanic in the Provincial Machinery Factory!" Mr. Lin asked, "How did you do, what does the master think of you?"

"The masters all comment on me, willing to endure hardships, want to learn any kind of work, and not afraid of being too greedy." Qi Qiushi scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smirk: "I don't want to be too much behind Xiaoyan because of my skills. I also secretly learn English!"

"How did you learn?" Mr. Lin asked again.

Although I don't know why the old man asks questions that have nothing to do with Xiaoyan, he honestly said: "I'm a good student, and the master praises me for this." He gave a thumbs up.

"It seems that only with motivation can you make progress. Xiaoyan is your source of motivation." Mr. Lin joked.

"Ha ha……"

"Okay, follow the blueprints and finish this when you go back." Mr. Lin handed him a stack of design blueprints, and first drew a simple and easy one. I don't know if the drawing is good or not. I haven't drawn it for more than ten years. .

"The electric fan looks like a ceiling fan. Why is there a lamp underneath? It looks good." Qi Qiushi said.Of course, with Mr. Lin's family background, the drawings are not a problem, but the finished product is not yet lifelike.

"Okay, I'll take a closer look at it when I get home. Go to sleep! I have to go shopping tomorrow!" Mr. Lin turned off the lights and went to sleep.

As soon as they woke up beautifully, Yan Guangxing took them to finish the authentic Cantonese morning tea the next day.

A time-honored brand in a city carries the memory of the city and is an indispensable element of the historical context.When you reach the age where you like to remember, your childhood impressions will often be condensed in a century-old store.

The facade is small, but the inside is full. Fang Monan and the others have reserved seats.Of course, the ordering is handed over to Yan Guangxing, the 'local snake'.This is a "super time-honored brand" in the minds of Yangcheng people, and it is also the first choice for drinking morning tea.

Datong Egg Tart, Pork Knuckle Egg with Ginger Vinegar, Thin Skin Shrimp Dumpling, Ejie Powdered Fruit, Gold Medal Scallion Pancake, Amber Walnut Flower Branch Cake, Morning Tea Xiaolongbao, Taro Roll.The dim sum is superb, shrimp dumplings, the skin is crystal clear, there is a little fat, the signature egg tart, the outer skin of the egg tart is very crispy, the egg filling is smooth, the fresh milk red bean cake, the middle one may not look like a cake, but There is a feeling of bean paste after eating.

Yan Guangxing highlighted that the signature dish of Datong Crispy Chicken is that the chicken is first soaked in boiled white brine until it is just cooked, then coated with maltose powder, dried and then deep-fried.The chicken fried in this way is really extraordinary: crispy skin, fresh meat, fragrant bones, crispy and smooth, fresh and fragrant, and then put snow-white shrimp slices, accompanied by red-colored fried chicken, one red and one white, They complement each other and are very appetizing.

This place once entertained national leaders. When Fang Monan came over, he took a rough look. Most of them were old people, and there were also folk art cafes, which were dedicated to listening to Cantonese opera, with a strong Lingnan flavor.

It's a pity that some of Fang Monan's people can't even understand Cantonese, let alone drama, so they can only have morning tea and after dinner.

Accompanied by Yan Guangxing and Liang Zi, Fang Monan and his group happily started from Haizhu Bridge, Haizhu Square, City Hall, Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall to Sun Yat-Sen Monument, a 12-kilometer-long walk, and listened to Mr. Lin’s narration What you see on the road.

After visiting Haizhu Square, Yan Guangxing took everyone to the Nanfang Building Department Store. As soon as they entered the door, grandma and the others were shocked by the dazzling array of products.Fang Monan and Liang Zi's expressions were as usual, Liang Zi often came, and she naturally didn't need to talk about it.

Mr. Lin simply said to them: "Nanfang Building is the largest department store in my country and ranks first among the top 10 department stores in the country. The store has more than 1000 sources of goods and handles 29500 kinds of products. The underground shopping mall of Nanfang Building, with It is characterized by exquisite, famous brands, special products, and rare products, and enjoys the reputation of "Southland Boutique Collection" and is the largest underground shopping mall in the country." "If you want to see what you want to see, you can gather at the door in two hours."

After Mr. Lin gave an order, the group dispersed and walked around on their own. Liang Zi, Fang Monan and Yan Guangxing walked together.It only took an hour to look at it like a horse watching flowers. It's good to go out and find a place to sit.

Fang Monan and the others went out to find a flower bed, sat down, and then Liang Zi bought three ice creams, eating while watching the passers-by on the road, Yan Guangxing saw an old acquaintance, walked over to say hello.Suddenly, he saw a young man on a bicycle, riding very close to a young and fashionable woman, grabbed her bag, and knocked the woman to the ground.

The incident happened very quickly, the woman realized that she stood up quickly, and shouted as she ran, "Robbery! Robbery!" Unfortunately, she had already ridden a long way and led the police over.

"Wow... Ming robbery!" Fang Monan smacked his tongue, frowned and said: "Is the robbery here in Liangzi already so serious?"

"Well! It's more serious on the train. There are more thieves than passengers. In the car I was sitting in, I was patronized by different thieves three times in one night." Liang Zi said with a straight face. If he hadn't met her, he and the thin monkey Three people may also do this.

"Nannan, where are you going to play next?" Liang Zi asked.

"Go to the capital, it's the capital, so you have to go and see it anyway." Fang Monan said.

"That's good, I just go with you. I will protect you on the way." Afraid that she would refuse, Liang Zi said again: "Look at you, you are old and you are young. Qi Qiu is actually a man, but he is a gentleman. When things happen, he is not as good as me. .”

"Follow if you want, but you can't belittle others like this." Fang Monan laughed.Suddenly she remembered that there was a crackdown this year, and the details were a lot blurred.She asked seriously, "Liang Zi, have you still been in touch with anyone from before?"

"No, you often tell me, I have stopped dealing with them a long time ago, who wants to go the old way when I can pass the time." Liang Zi said.

"What about the fat man!" She looked at him seriously.

"There shouldn't be any of this!" Liang Zi was not sure, and replied ambiguously.

"Liang Zi, contact Fatty and Thin Monkey immediately, and you must stop interacting with the former people. The consequences will be serious." Fang Monan said seriously.

"Yeah!" Liang Zi looked at the serious face, "Understood, I will contact you when I get back to the hotel."

"That's good, don't forget." Fang Monan reminded again.

Hearing the shouts, Yan Guangxing ran over quickly and was relieved to see the two of them sitting honestly on the flower bed, and refused to desert again.

Among the people strolling in the southern shopping mall, Qi Qiushi saw small appliances running up to check the prices, especially electric fans, let alone the price of the ceiling fans, the appearance is very simple, not as good-looking as the one in his hand.

Mr. Lin watched him busy, asked, compared, and nodded secretly, a child can be taught!

When Liang Zi returned to the hotel, he called Sister Dayan and asked him to find the thin monkey and the fat man. He would call again after half an hour.When the phone was connected again, the thin monkey received the call, and Liang Zi asked if they were still in contact with the former people.

The thin monkey answered no. As for the fat man, his life was better because of his brother's loyalty, and he once lent money to them for emergency.Liang Zi gave the fat man a good lesson on the phone, and the fat man promised not to have any contact with him on the phone.

The next day they went to Yuexiu Park and climbed up Mukegang, which is a poetic and picturesque work of art as the emblem of Yangcheng - the Stone Statue of the Five Rams.Since the completion of the stone statue, it has been regarded as the city symbol of Yangcheng.

Fang Monan and the others took their cameras to bid for some old neighborhoods. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shibafu was built in Xiguan, and there were thirteen rows.The typical traditional buildings here, such as the Xiguan House and the Bamboo Tube House, came into being.The ancient big house in Xiguan is a large residence built by rich and wealthy businessmen in the past.These residences are tall and bright, with a combination of halls and gardens, and exquisite decoration.

The ancient big house in Xiguan has short-footed double doors on the outside, a slat in the middle, and a gate on the inside, all made of high-grade hardwood.The interior decoration is very particular, with furniture, lamps, banners, couplets, books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, vases, potted plants, caged birds, mirror stands and various artworks and mahogany furniture, exquisite wood carvings, Manchurian and The sill and its unique layout form have a strong Lingnan charm.

In the ancient streets and alleys, the sun shines through the leaves and sprinkles mottled on the bluestone slabs, revealing a lazy taste in the tranquility. In the summer afternoon, the blue tiles, gray walls, and classical buildings are the vicissitudes of history. .With the process of urbanization, I don't know how much can be preserved, so I took advantage of this time to take pictures.
