The 18-storey International Hotel stands out from the crowd in this small border trade town. The entrance of the hotel is very lively, with groups of hairs coming in and out.

"The border trade on this side of the Heihe River opened later than the Suifen River, but the development is no worse than the Suifen River. Dong Jinjin got out of the car first and opened the car door for Mrs. He, and said to Li He with a smile, "Isn't it true that someone said now, there is Shenzhen in the south, Heihe in the north, deep in the south and black in the north, flying together." ”

Li He pointed to the people at the door, "Are they all here to do business?"

Dong Jinjin said with a smile, "Many are tourists, the border tour has been opened in the past two years, all of which are transnational tourism, and there are many tourists who later feel that it is profitable to start a dump, there is a long-term, one day a ferry, the agricultural machinery, fertilizer, steel, and soda ash here are all from Maozi, and we mainly export light textile long-term products." Don't look at the small city, there are 30 million or 40 million Swiss francs per month, and the main trading market is on the Big Black River Island, if you are not in a hurry, I can take you to see it. ”

The group talked and laughed and entered the lobby of the hotel, Li He looked around, looked at the brilliant lamp wall, and said, "It's beautiful." ”

Dong Jinjin pointed to the light channel above his head, "Including this electricity, it is imported from Russia through a 110-volt high-voltage international transmission line." ”

"It's kilovolts. "No way, out of the obsessive-compulsive disorder of science students, Li He has to correct him.

"Yes, yes, it's kilovolts. Dong Jinjin scratched his head and said, "Haha, it's a big old man." ”

He is probably a frequent visitor here, and a few people have not waited for a few minutes at the elevator entrance, and many people have greeted him warmly.

Dong Jinjin does not care about the level, and recalls enthusiastically.

There was no need for the waiter to lead, so he took Li and the familiar ones into a box.

He said to his subordinates, "Hurry up and arrange it, pick up the best one." ”

From the time Mrs. He entered the door to the present, her anxiety was written on her face. Li He had to say to Dong Jinjin, "Old Dong, don't make those troublesome things, what kind of stew, boiling, it's going to be troublesome, just let them get some hot food, what is ready-made, hurry up after eating, it's good to have ready-made millet porridge." ”

"Hey, Boss Li, you are not an outsider, and you won't care about this meal, since you are in a hurry, I won't fix these empty heads, I'll arrange it." At this time, the waiter came over with tea, and Dong Jinjin poured a full cup of tea for everyone, and hurriedly went out.

In less than five minutes, the waiter brought a large pot of lamb chops, small fish stew, and a pot of porridge one after another, and Dong Jinjin also came in with a bottle of wine.

"Monkey's head and salmon are specialties here, you don't have a chance to eat this meal, you must try them when you go back. ”

He was just about to open the wine, but Li He stopped him, "If you don't drink, you will delay things." ”

Dong Jinjin smiled and said, "It's okay, let's be the third brother, just this bottle." There were people driving on the road, and we went to sleep after drinking, and woke up when we got to drink. ”

When he saw Li He nodding, he started with He Long, still to Li He, and finally poured a little for the old lady.

"Drink. Mrs. He only scooped a bowl of porridge for herself.

A bottle of wine is just finished for three people, and there is no scene where you respect me and push me, and you drink and eat quickly.

After eating a good meal, everyone didn't rest, and went directly to the car and left.

As soon as the car left the urban area, Dong Jinjin got out of the car and arranged for someone to tie a few mining searchlights to the roof of the car. ”

The searchlight-strapped car headed in front and continued to move on, and through the window you could see a large birch forest flashing rapidly.

This is the northernmost road in China, the road condition is very poor, and many places are just a dirt road for more than an hour, with potholes, and the sound of car engines sizzling.

After driving for nearly two hours, the car in front suddenly stopped, and the car behind also braked sharply.

Li He, who was pretending to be asleep, was also woken up, and he saw Dong Jinjin, who was sitting in the front car, get out of the car, and also got out of the car.

"What's going on?"

Dong Jinjin handed Li He a flue, "Rest for a while, during the day, the water floods the road, and the road to Huma is full of muddy nests." ”

"Then what should I do? Li He lit a cigarette and didn't worry, Dong Jinjin is so calm, there must be a way for him.

Dong Jinjin shone a flashlight on his wrist, and then said with a smile, "Wait until about two o'clock in the morning, when the temperature will be lower, the road will freeze, and the car will not sink in." It's going to be okay, but it's not that safe. ”

He Long also stomped a few feet on the ground, and then said, "You have to wait." In the past, they didn't dare to come out during the day, they generally slept well during the day and came out at night to be arrogant. ”

Li He smiled and asked, "Why?"

He Long said, "In broad daylight, there is the sun, the snow melts quickly, and when you step on a few feet deep, even if the black blind man comes, he has to take it in vain, and he still comes out in the middle of the night." Like we usually go to the market, we leave before dawn, and we have to get home before the sun shows up. ”

Li He and Dong Jinjin finished smoking half a pack of cigarettes before returning to the road.

It was already 5 o'clock in the morning when I arrived at the location, but the journey of more than 200 kilometers took nearly seven hours.

It was already dawn, and the stalls in the morning market were already open. Li He proposed to go to breakfast, but Mrs. He didn't want to waste time at the stall, so he had to buy a few buns and soy milk, and everyone took them in their hands.

Back on her own turf, the old lady was in good spirits, and she showed the way to the only hospital in town.

The town has changed a lot, like a newborn baby, everything is new, and the roads are still so narrow, but they are clean.

The hospital is very small, just a two-story building, and the relatives of the He family are all gathered at the door of the hospital to chatter, and they almost didn't recognize the old lady He who got out of the car, and it was not until they saw He Long that they were completely sure.

The two remaining brothers of the He family and a little aunt are there.

Li He stepped forward to greet them one by one, and after saluting the cigarette, he helped light the fire, "Second uncle, how is my aunt?"

He Fang's father is the eldest of the He family, and below are two brothers, two younger sisters, and the youngest sister who is sick.

The second uncle of the He family took a puff of cigarette and pointed to his braincase, "It's not too bright, I thought I couldn't stand it yesterday, but I looked at it in the morning, and it was not bad." ”

Li He breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." ”

Old Lady He had already entered the hospital with the concubines, and he followed.

The little aunt's surname is Fang, and she suddenly saw that Li He was very upset, and said to Li He, "You have a lot of things, do you come back to do it?"

"I can't delay anything, and I'm still thinking about your roast sheep. After Li He finished speaking, he saw the little cousin of the Fang family next to him with swollen eyelids, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sleepy, go to sleep." ”

This is not a child who drank corn dregs with a notched bowl a few years ago, and he is also a half-sized child.
