The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and Xiaofang got off the expressway in Songjiang. Zhang Chen asked Xiaofang: "Should we go to see the new base first, or go to the old base for dinner?"

Xiaofang said: "Let's go to the new base first."

They passed through the culvert under the Shanghai-Hangzhou Expressway, reached the other side of the highway, and drove to the new base.

More than half of the houses here have been built, and the construction that is still continuing is the pouring of the base road and parking lot, as well as the most labor-intensive part of the cold storage. Xiaofang looked at it and exclaimed:

"So big?"

Zhang Chen said: "Except for Shanghai Port and Yangshan Port, this is currently the largest logistics base in Shanghai that is open to the public."

"But it's not surprising when you think about it. The population of Shanghai is more than 10 million more than that of New York. The city's daily consumption is staggering." Xiaofang said, "By the way, brother-in-law, are other cities this big?"

Zhang Chen said: "Yes, almost. Shanghai is not the largest. Just like here, our other cities are also the largest local logistics bases. It should be said that the timing of our entry is very good. Now local governments are... To rectify the dirty and messy areas around the city, railway and highway stations, wholesale markets and logistics bases will bear the brunt.

"Stations that can be relocated are basically being relocated. The impact on the wholesale market is not that big. With the launch of Dibao.com, the wholesale market business is not as prosperous as before. If it can be banned, some places have begun to ban it. Logistics The base is also a dirty and messy node, but it is indispensable to the city and there is no way to clear it all.

"After our project is settled, they will have the conditions to clean up those small-scale logistics bases."

"This will free up more real estate land, right?" Xiaofang asked.

Zhang Chen is right.

In fact, there is another reason for this, that is, in many cities, Zhang Chen and the others obtained land that was transferred from the military to civilians. These lands are not in the hands of local governments. The entry of Zhang Chen and their projects is equivalent to What Xiaofang said has freed up a lot of real estate land for local governments. How could they not welcome it?

"It's a really good project, but unfortunately, brother-in-law, you are unwilling to accept my client's funds." Xiaofang said.

Zhang Chen looked at her and was about to say something when Xiaofang smiled and said, "I know, you don't want to feel pressure."

Zhang Chen laughed.

While the two were talking, they saw a person walking towards them in the distance. From the way he walked, Zhang Chen could tell that it was Brother Lao Tan. Zhang Chen shouted:

"Brother, why are you here?"

Lao Tan squinted his eyes, covered his eyebrows with his hands, and looked towards them. As he walked, he said, "In the cold storage, asphalt will be poured today. I'll come over and take a look."

Xiaofang then called out: "Brother."

Lao Tan responded casually, then got closer and saw clearly, and shouted: "Oh, Xiaofang! I couldn't guess who it was, but I didn't expect it to be you. When did you come back?"

"I just arrived in the morning. On my way back to Hangzhou, I wanted to come here and have a look." Xiaofang said, "You don't know until you look at it. When you look at it, you are really shocked. It is really a big project."

Lao Tan nodded and said yes, but, "You haven't seen that e-commerce industrial park, that's scary. Not to mention other people, even the construction companies, said they had never seen such a large single building. .”

Xiaofang said okay, then I will go and have a look when I return to Hangzhou.

The three of them walked and chatted, and took a half-circle around the base. Twenty minutes passed. Lao Tan didn't even have lunch, so he went back to the old logistics base with them.

When Xiaojun saw Xiaofang, he screamed "Ah" and ran over and hugged Xiaofang. Lao Tan said beside him:

"Don't just make noises, go to the cafeteria to make arrangements. We haven't eaten yet."

Xiaojun responded with "oh oh oh" and went out.

A few people finished their meal together in the cafeteria. Lao Tan wanted to stay here and would not return to Hangzhou until tomorrow. Zhang Chen and Xiaofang left first.

Lao Tan urged them to go quickly. The elderly people at home must be impatient. Zhang Chen and Xiao Fang both laughed. They did not tell Lao Tan, and he did not tell the elderly people at all that Xiao Fang was coming back today.

The car got on the highway again, Zhang Chen and Xiaofang said, "Can you call home now?"

Xiaofang tilted her head and said naughtily: "No."

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Okay, let's make a grand debut. You need to sleep for a while and catch up on the jet lag. When we get home later, I guess it won't be up to you."

Xiaofang said yes, put the seat back a little, and closed her eyes.

Zhang Chen moved the car from the fast lane to the middle lane and slowed down. On the expressway with a speed limit of 120 yards, he drove forward smoothly at a speed of 100 yards.

Xiaofang snored slightly. Zhang Chen turned around and looked, and his heart suddenly tightened. Xiaofang looked more like Xiao Zhao when he was sleeping.

Zhang Chen's eyes were a little blurry. He shook his head, then shook his head...

After driving to the parking lot of "Splendid Home", Xiaofang still hadn't woken up. Zhang Chen parked the car there without getting out of the car or waking up Xiaofang.

After more than ten minutes, Xiaofang slowly opened her eyes, then immediately sat up straight and asked:

"We're already here, brother-in-law, why don't you wake me up?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Let you sleep a little longer."

The two got off the car. Zhang Chen was about to get the suitcase in the trunk. There was a large suitcase that had been placed in the "Century Jinxiu" house in Shanghai. Xiaofang said that the suitcase was basically filled with books and materials, which he would only use when going to work. Used, there is also a large suitcase in the trunk.

Xiaofang and Zhang Chen said, "Brother-in-law, can you come back later to get it? I want to see my sister first. I dreamed about her on the plane back and in the car ahead."

Zhang Chen said yes.

The two of them went upstairs and entered the room. Xiaofang ran to Zhang Chen's bedroom, closed the door, and Zhang Chen walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

Xiaofang put her hand on Xiao Zhao's urn and called "Sister". Tears rolled down her face. Xiaofang continued to murmur:

"Sister, I haven't seen you for two years. How are you? I really miss you."

Xiaofang started to cry.

I don’t know how long she cried. Xiaofang gradually calmed down. She looked at her watch and saw that it was already past four in the afternoon. At this time, it was still dark in New Haven. However, Xiaofang still picked up the phone and dialed. Passed Zhang Xiangbei.

When the phone was picked up, Xiaofang said: "Beibei, we are already home. I am with your mother now. Come on, Beibei, tell your mother whether you are in New Haven or not."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Xiangbei said angrily: "Mom, I'm fine here. Don't worry."

Zhang Chen was sitting there smoking a cigarette. The bedroom door opened and Xiaofang stood in the door. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen. She said to Zhang Chen:

"Brother-in-law, my sister is with me these two days, okay?"

Zhang Chen nodded, Xiaofang smiled, turned around, picked up Xiao Zhao's urn, and walked to her room. Zhang Chen also stood up, walked into the bedroom, and picked up Xiao Zhao's urn on the bedside table. The portrait followed.

Seeing Xiao Zhao again, the two of them walked downstairs. Zhang Chen hesitated for a moment and said to Xiao Fang, "I'll help you get your luggage."

Xiaofang stared at him for a while, understood, and asked: "Brother-in-law, are you afraid of going back?"

Zhang Chen said with a grimace: "A little bit, if I show up suddenly like this, I will definitely be surrounded by them."

Xiaofang chuckled: "Okay, I'll take the lead first."

The two of them separated, one walked inside to Zhang Chen's parents' home, and the other walked outside towards the parking lot.

Zhang Chen pushed the suitcase and walked to his parents' house. The door to the room was closed. Zhang Chen picked up the suitcase, walked up the steps, and opened the door. The air-conditioning and laughter hit his face together.

As soon as Zhang Chen walked in, his mother immediately came over to accuse him, shouting: "Chenchen, is it you? I knew it was you who came up with the bad idea and didn't tell us that Xiaofang was coming back today."

Before Zhang Chen could speak, Xiaofang quickly came over and helped Zhang Chen out: "No, no, auntie, I didn't let my brother-in-law tell you."

Zhang Chen's mother waved her hand and said, "Xiaofang, don't speak for him. It must be him. He will come up with such bad ideas. When Bei Bei returned to the United States last month, he didn't want us to see him off at the Shanghai Airport."

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "Okay, I'm guilty, but why don't I come back like this and give you a surprise?"

"It's not a surprise, it's just a shock. We were unprepared and we didn't have anything delicious at home." Zhang Chen's mother scolded.

Zhang Chenxin believed it to be true and thought to himself that he had been eating out all the time. There were only four of them at home and there might not be anything to eat, so he would go to the Tuxiangyuan Hotel for dinner.

He walked over and opened the refrigerator to take a look, only to see that the freezers and freezers were filled to the brim. Zhang Chen shouted:

"Oh my God, there's such a refrigerator, and you still say there's nothing to eat?"

"What do you know? There is nothing Xiaofang likes to eat." Zhang Chen's mother said, and she shouted: "Oh!"

Everyone didn't know what was going on. Looking at her, Zhang Chen's mother waved to Xiao Zhao's mother and shouted: "It's almost five o'clock, and we are not prepared at all."

Zhang Chenzheng was hesitating to tell them whether to go to Tuxiangyuan to eat. He knew that if he said this, his mother would scold him again, so he might as well shut up.

Xiao Zhao's mother had already walked over. The two old ladies, like two miners, were surrounding the refrigerator, digging something out. After a while, they had dug out a lot.

Xiao Zhao's mother turned to Xiao Zhao's father and said, "You call Xiao Shu and ask them to come over for dinner."

After a while, Xiaoshu came over and stood there, watching Xiaofang laughing non-stop. Xiaofang asked: "Why are you giggling?"

Xiaoshu still smiled: "I'm not laughing at anything."

After a while, Yao Fen came with their son in his arms, and Tan Shuzhen followed. When she saw Zhang Chen, she glared at him and said:

"Do you think I wouldn't know to come if you didn't call me?"

Zhang Chen's mother heard this and shouted: "Scold, scold, Zhenzhen, hurry up and scold him. I just finished scolding him, you continue to scold him."

Tan Shuzhen opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to curse. Zhang Chen laughed.

Over there, Xiaofang had already picked up Xiaoshu's son and teased him: "Call, call, call aunt."

Xiaoshu's son's name was Xiaocao, after Xiaoshu. When Zhang Xiangbei heard it for the first time, he smiled crookedly. He said to Xiaoshu:

"Uncle Xiaoshu, why do you keep shouting smaller and smaller? If so, what will Xiaocao's children be called in the future, grass roots? Little ants?"

"Idiot, of course it's called Xiaomiao." Xiaoshu scolded.
