The Pentium Era - South to North

After eating, Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao returned to the room. They packed their things and went back to Sanbao first. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao had both asked for leave. They were going back to Yongcheng tomorrow morning, so they would start from here. , because it is very close to Wulinmen Bus Station from here. Take the bus at the door and you will be there in two stops.

They will check out early tomorrow morning, so they have to take a lot of things they brought home first, and also put Xiao Zhao's bicycle back home. Zhang Chen will then take her and ride to the Hongqi Hotel, where Zhang Chen Leave your bicycle at the Red Flag Hotel and take the bus here.

In this way, when they come back from Yongcheng, they can take the bus directly to the Hongqi Hotel to ride.

They can't park their cars at Wulinmen Bus Station. No one cares about the parking lot there at night. Parking their cars there will end up worse than Zhang Chen's first bicycle. Friends in society don't even know how to use a tripod. Leave it to them.

They returned home and put away their things. Xiao Zhao felt a little nostalgic again. She hooked her arm on Zhang Chen's shoulder and said, Honey, how about we sleep at home at night and get up early tomorrow?

Zhang Chen said no, it will be the morning rush hour tomorrow. When we arrive at your unit, we will go to Wulinmen from there. It is still a long way, and we don’t know if we can squeeze into the car.

Xiao Zhao pouted and said, okay, let’s go.

They returned to the Wanghu Hotel. It was almost ten o'clock. The two of them were preparing to wash up and go to bed. The doorbell rang. The two of them looked at each other. They were very surprised. They had eaten too much for dinner. They had already called the person who delivered the midnight snack. If they don't need to give it away, who else will be there at this time?

Zhang Chen walked over and opened the door. Standing at the door was Boss Liu's younger brother, holding a paper bag from Wanghu Hotel in his hand, and said to Zhang Chen:

"Manager Zhang, Boss Liu knows that you are going back to your hometown tomorrow and asked me to deliver them. They are all specialties from Taiwan. They are not worth a few dollars, so I asked you to take them back and give them to your family to try something new."

When Zhang Chen was about to refuse, the other party said, "I've already been here once before, but you guys weren't here, so I came to bother you again at such a late hour."

People have come here repeatedly, but you still refuse, which is a bit unreasonable. Zhang Chen quickly said to his younger brother: "Thank you, and thank Boss Liu for me."

The younger brother left, Zhang Chen closed the door, walked back and opened the bag, and saw four cartons of longevity cigarettes, two cans of frozen top oolong tea, and two boxes of pineapple cakes in tinplate boxes. Xiao Zhao put these with the ones they bought in the afternoon. After putting the things together, he said to Zhang Chen:

"Boss Liu is a really nice person."

Zhang Chen nodded and said: "This is probably what he said, the character of the children in their military village. They are affectionate and righteous. If you treat him well, he will treat you twice as well. If you do bad things to him, he will be jealous." Must be repaid.”

"Okay, then we will do our best to be nice to him." Xiao Zhao said.

…

The journey from Hangzhou to Yongcheng is more than 170 kilometers, and we have to take National Highway 320. After leaving Hangzhou, the car entered Fuyang and entered the mountainous area of ​​​​western Zhejiang. This road is not easy to walk. There are many cars on the national highway and there are often traffic jams. , it took more than three hours to drive for more than 170 kilometers. Their car arrived at Yongcheng at 7:20 in the morning, and it was already 11 o'clock.

When a passenger bus returns to Yongcheng County, it is generally agreed that it will stop at the gate of the county committee before driving to the bus station.

Zhang Chen's home was close to the gate of the county committee, so they got off the car at the gate of the county committee.

Zhang Chen was stunned as soon as he got off the car. He saw Xiao Wu parked his bicycle at the door of the county committee, set up the stand, and sat on the bicycle's bag rack, looking at Zhang Chen and smiling.

"Xiao Wu, why are you here?" Zhang Chen shouted.

"Come to pick you up." Xiao Wu said.

"How did you know we would come today?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"I went to your house last night. Your mother told me." Xiao Wu said. He looked at Xiao Zhao and asked, "Is this Xiao Zhao? Hello, sister-in-law!"

Xiao Zhao quickly said: "Hello, you are Yilin's master. I often hear Yilin talk about you."

"Do you know her?" Zhang Chen was surprised again and asked Xiao Wu.

"Zhangzi told me everything about you, otherwise why would I go to your house so often?" Xiaowu said, "It's just that there was no news after you said goodbye to Zhanjiang. Zhuangzi and the others are very anxious. Let's go and give him a message first. Make a call."

Zhang Chen agreed, and they put their luggage on Xiao Wu's bicycle and bag rack, and the three of them walked towards the post and telecommunications office opposite the county committee.

"Xiao Wu, thank you. My mother told me that you wrapped all their rice and coal cakes." Zhang Chen said to Xiao Wu.

"Hey, it's all a trivial matter. Just come back safely and everything will be fine." Xiao Wu said, "I heard that you are going back to Hangzhou early tomorrow morning?"

Zhang Chen said yes, we only took two days off. I am now working in a decoration company in Hangzhou, still doing my job, and Xiao Zhao works in a hotel.

"That's good too. The key is that two people can be together."

Zhang Chen nodded. He understood that Xiao Wu meant something. He and Jin Lili were in Haicheng. They were lovers in name, but in reality they were just like passers-by. They saw each other for a long time, but they were always unhappy. And scattered, what's the point.

The three of them crowded into the long-distance telephone booth of the post office. Xiao Wu took out a magnetic card, inserted it into the phone, dialed Liu Ligan's big brother, and said to Liu Ligan, "Zhangzi, I have called Brother Chen."

He handed the phone to Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen took the phone and didn't know what to say for a moment. It was Xiao Zhao who shouted from the side: "Brother Ganzi, hello. I'm Xiao Zhao. We've arrived in Yongcheng. .”

Liu Ligan shouted on the phone: "Hello, Xiao Zhao, where is Zhang Chen? Let that bastard answer the phone."

Xiao Zhao chuckled: "He's the one holding the microphone."

Liu Ligan scolded: "Zhang Chen, damn, it's taken you so long, why don't you call us, and let us know whether you're dead or alive, there are so many people here, Lao Meng, Qihang, Li Yong, and your eldest brother Lao Tan, everyone is worried about you."

Zhang Chen finally came to his senses and murmured: "It's inconvenient for us to make phone calls. I'm at the construction site every day, and there's no phone on the construction site. There is a phone where Xiao Zhao works, but the phone is locked. , you can only make local calls, not long distance calls.”

Liu Ligan knew that it wasn't Fang who was inconvenient to call, but Zhang Chen, who probably hadn't found any good job yet and didn't want to find a job. This boring guy wanted to save face. He refused to go back to Yongcheng when he arrived in Hangzhou. This is probably the reason.

Although he knew that Zhang Chen didn't want to say anything, Liu Ligan still asked, what are you doing in Hangzhou now?

Zhang Chen smiled and said, Xiao Zhao works as a waiter in a hotel, and I work in a decoration company. Just like when I first arrived in Haicheng, I am still an instructor.

"Starting from scratch, that's not a bad idea."

Liu Ligan said this, but his heart was sour. What hotel did Xiao Zhao go to as a waiter? If there was any way, would Xiao Zhao be the waiter? Zhang Chen is still working as an instructor and on-site manager of the construction site, which means that he has not even become a designer yet.

Even so, Zhang Chen and the others are not willing to return to Yongcheng, but want to stay in Hangzhou. Liu Ligan understands him. Now that they have returned to Yongcheng, they are familiar with each other when they lower their heads and look up. What should I say? This is Hangzhou. For better or worse, at least no one knows them.

"Stop talking about me, let's talk about you." Zhang Chen said, "Did you and Liu Yun get into trouble after you went back that day? What happened next? On the night of New Year's Eve, I didn't have time to ask."

"It's okay. She sent Wenwen and Qianqian away without saying anything."

"Then burn high incense."

"But the result is still the same, Liu Yun is gone."

"Ah!" Zhang Chen was surprised: "Where has she gone?"

"I don't know, no one knows. She told me that she went to Nanjing, but no one could contact her. Because of this, Li Yong even hit me with an ink bottle."

"You deserve it! You must have made her angry, right?"

"Conscience of heaven and earth, it's really not me. Why the hell did you all think it was me? It was really she who said she wanted to break up." Liu Ligan said, "By the way, if you go back to Hangzhou, how will I find you again? I won't continue. Play missing?"

Zhang Chen told Liu Ligan the phone number of Xiao Zhao and his team's duty room.

After hanging up the phone, the three of them left the post office and continued walking to Zhang Chen's house. Xiao Wu and Zhang Chen said, "Brother Chen, I didn't tell anyone else about your return either."

"Okay, thank you, Xiao Wu." Zhang Chen said.

"When I came out in the morning, I met Sister Shuzhen. I told her and asked her if she wanted to pick you up together. Sister Shuzhen seemed a little embarrassed to see you."

Zhang Chen nodded.

"Who is Sister Shuzhen?" Xiao Zhao asked from the side.

"We are from a theater troupe, and Zhuangzi's former girlfriend originally wanted to go to Hainan with us, but my family didn't agree and we couldn't go." Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said.

Xiao Zhao nodded, as if he had some understanding.

The three of them walked forward for a while, and Xiao Wu said, "Brother Chen, Sister Shuzhen is a mother."

"Ah!" Zhang Chen was surprised again: "So fast?"

"Yes, I gave birth to a daughter. I didn't dare to tell Brother Zhanzi about this."

"It was right not to tell, Xiao Wu." Zhang Chen sighed, "In the heart of the pole, there is always Tan Shuzhen."
