Getting off the bus, Hu Mingchen saw the words "Meilin Checkpoint" written on the roof of the checkpoint.

Although it was completely dark, under the light of the street lamps and car lights, it was bustling outside the gate, with passengers coming and going, and many private cars and taxis parked outside the platform to call for passengers.

"Guys, do you want to enter the customs, do you don't have a border permit, if you want to enter the customs, give some money, and I'll take you in." A young man wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt with a strong Hunan accent in Mandarin walked up to Hu Mingchen and said to them.

"How do you bring it?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"You don't care about this, we naturally have our own way, how about it? Do you want to go? Let me tell you, this period of time is very strict, if you don't have acquaintances, you can't get in, see no, there are elevated barbed wire fences around, you can't get through at all. "The young people have a strong atmosphere of painting and coloring.

Hu Mingchen followed the direction of his finger, and really vaguely saw that the kind of green barbed wire fence four or five meters high had been erected around the perimeter, and the armed police soldiers were patrolling the border at the entrance and exit.

"How much?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"One hundred dollars, the four of you, give me four hundred dollars, and I will take you there. The other man held out four fingers and said.

"It's so expensive, it's almost enough for us to come here from our hometown. Hearing the price, Xiaojun's grandfather immediately became excited.

"Then who asked you not to get a border permit at the public security bureau at home, without this price, you just can't get in, if you give an extra hundred yuan, I can send you directly to the bus station, after entering the customs, there is still a long distance." The young man lit a cigarette and said.

"Let's discuss it first, discuss it, and then come back to you if necessary. Hu Mingchen politely declined first.

"What are you discussing, it's so late now, there is no such shop in this village, if you don't go in, you have to go to a far away place to stay in a hotel, but tomorrow, you don't have to spend money to get in." For the sake of your first time here, I'll give you a cheaper price, eighty yuan, how about it, it's very cheap, otherwise you will only waste more money. The young man didn't give Hu Mingchen any room for them to discuss, and chased after the demagoguery.

"The key is ......" As soon as Hu Mingchen said three words, his mobile phone rang.

Hu Mingchen picked up the phone: "Hey, hello." ”

"Hello, may I ask if my father and my son are with you? A middle-aged man's voice on the other end of the phone said.

"Oh, hello, you're Xiaojun's dad, they were right next to me, we didn't have a border pass and were stopped outside the Merlin checkpoint. ”

"Then you will wait for me there, by the way, please give my dad the phone, and I will ask him. ”

Hu Mingchen then handed the mobile phone to Xiaojun's grandfather: "Xiaojun's father's phone." ”

Xiaojun's grandfather took the phone, said a few words in their dialect, and finally returned the phone to Hu Mingchen.

"My dad said just let us stand here and wait, and he drove us up in a moment. Xiao Jun said from the side.

"Someone came to pick up and didn't say it earlier, wasting my time and expressions. The young man who was soliciting heard the whole story, and muttered and complained as if he had been tricked.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Hu Jianqiang said cautiously.

"Hmph. The young man snorted coldly, and when he saw a few people being driven down from a bus entering the customs, he hurried towards those people to get business.

After more than ten minutes, Xiaojun's father came to Hu Mingchen and them.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the three generations of their grandparents were naturally excited and greeting, and when Xiaojun saw his father, tears almost rolled out of his eyes.

"Son, don't cry, don't cry, you've grown up, you're a man, crying makes people laugh, hehe. Xiaojun's father lovingly touched Xiaojun's head and said.

"I didn't take good care of my grandfather and got him hurt. Xiaojun said aggrievedly.

"Dad, are you injured?Where are the injured, what's going on?" Hearing that Daddy was injured, Xiaojun's father hurriedly held Xiaojun's grandfather's hand with both hands and asked with concern.

Xiaojun's grandfather then told his son about the scene on the train.

"Fortunately, I met these two well-wishers, otherwise, Xiaojun and I don't know what to do, if we succeed in carrying that pickpocket, I'm afraid we won't even have the money to make a shuttle. ”

"Thank you, thank you. Xiaojun's father came to meet Hu Jianqiang and Hu Mingchen with gratitude.

"You're welcome, if it were someone else, I wouldn't have stood idly by. Hu Mingchen said politely.

"That's not necessarily, in today's society, nine out of ten people will pretend not to see it when they see it. Let's go, go to my house tonight, you shouldn't have dinner yet, my daughter-in-law is ready at home, and you can eat it when you get home. Xiaojun's father said enthusiastically.

"That's embarrassing. Hu Jianqiang said.

"What's so embarrassing, as long as you don't dislike it, go, go, the car is parked over there, it's not easy to get on here. Saying that, Xiaojun's father took Hu Mingchen and them back for more than fifty meters.

"I'm sorry, I want to grieve you, in order to enter the customs, you can only sit in the carriage temporarily. Xiaojun's father pointed to a small van parked on the side of the road.

Hu Mingchen noticed that the words "Bloomberg Electronics Co., Ltd." were written on the body of the van.

"What's wronged, we don't have documents in the first place, it's good to be able to get in. Hu Jianqiang said.

Xiaojun's father opened the cargo box from behind, and Hu Mingchen and the four of them climbed in. Xiaojun's father closed the door, climbed into the cab, started the car and drove towards the tube.

When I arrived at the entrance of the checkpoint, the vehicle stopped, and it seemed that Xiaojun's father was also checked, but it was only a few tens of seconds before the vehicle started again. This time, the car drove a long way before it stopped.

It was the first time for Hu Mingchen to sit in the compartment of this kind of truck, there were no handrails or stools, and he could only maintain his balance by leaning on the box. Fortunately, Xiaojun's father has good driving skills, and he should also take into account that there are elderly and children in the vehicle, and the speed of the car is also appropriately pressed, otherwise, it is strange that Hu Mingchen and they will not be dumped.

"I'm sorry, you're all okay, Dad, how are you, did you get a wound?" Xiaojun's father asked with concern after opening the car door.

"It's okay, it's okay, all three of them hold me up. ”

"Alright, come down, be careful. ”

Getting out of the carriage, Hu Mingchen found that they were in a small new industrial area, next to three five- and six-story industrial plants.

"Let's go, let's go this way, our company is upstairs, and my family rents a house in an urban village over there. After everyone got out of the car, Xiaojun's father closed the car door and led them to the outside of the industrial area.

After crossing a road and walking for more than ten minutes, Hu Mingchen and the others really entered a lively urban village.

However, the urban villages in the Special Economic Zone are very different from those in the mainland, all of them are seven or eight-story residential buildings, and although the spacing between each building is very narrow, the downstairs is very lively, with many shops, and men and women wearing all kinds of cool summer clothes come and go.

After chatting along the way, Hu Mingchen finally knew that Xiaojun's father was Tang Qiang, and Xiaojun's name was Tang Xiaojun. Tang Qiang has been in Pengcheng for more than three years, and before working as a worker in another plastic packaging factory, he only jumped to Bloomberg Electronics Co., Ltd. earlier this year to drive a truck to deliver goods to the company.

After many twists and turns, Tang Qiang finally took Hu Mingchen and them to the fourth building in the urban village, and went up the narrow staircase of a unit to the fourth floor.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the light blue security door on the left side of the fourth floor creaked open from the inside, and a middle-aged woman with short hair poked her head out of it, and when she saw Tang Xiaojun and them, a bright smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Xiaojun, come on, come on, let Dad see if he has grown taller again. The middle-aged woman pulled Tang Xiaojun into her arms.

"Mom, of course I've grown taller, what about my sister, have you also grown taller?" Tang Xiaojun said happily.

"My sister is watching TV at home, Xiaohong, don't watch it, my brother and grandpa are here. Tang Xiaojun's mother shouted into the house.

A group of people entered the living room of Tang Qiang's house, although this is the living room, but it is connected to the kitchen, which is very coercive, and the area should not exceed fifteen square meters.

Tang Xiaohong looks like she is four or five years old, pink, very cute, probably because she has been separated for a long time, she didn't seem very excited when she heard that her brother and grandfather were coming, and even squatted in front of the TV, her eyes were still attracted by the cartoons inside.

Tang Qiang beckoned Hu Mingchen and Hu Jianqiang to sit down on the only small two-seater sofa in the house. In the center of the living room was a folding square table, on which five dishes and one soup were placed.

"The house is relatively narrow, just take a moment, Dongmei, bring the bottle of wine that Boss Chen gave me, I will accompany this Hu brother to have a drink, Xiaojun and our father have no less trouble along the way. Tang Qiang placed a few small plastic round stools around the small table, beckoned his father and Tang Xiaojun to sit down, and said to his daughter-in-law.

"Are you going to drink, don't you have to go out of the car to deliver goods at night?" Tang Qiang's daughter-in-law Zhao Dongmei hesitated.

"I'm not going out of the car tonight, I've already told Boss Chen, if there is goods to be delivered, he asked me to go again tomorrow. ”

"Uncle Tang, let me take the liberty of asking, is the Boss Chen you are talking about, is it called Chen Xuesheng?" Hu Mingchen groaned for a while, but couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, do you know Boss Chen of our company? Yes, his name is Chen Xuesheng. Tang Qiang was surprised.

"Yes, he is also from our Liangcheng, I just saw the truck you drove, I wanted to ask, because I remember that he came to Pengcheng to co-open an electronics company called Bloomberg. Hu Mingchen said.

"Hahaha, the world is really small, right, as soon as you say it, I remembered that Boss Chen is indeed in the same place as you. Are you here to find him? Do you want to call him right now?"
