Hurriedly returned to his hometown, and the family was just a false alarm!

Parents are still preparing to stay in their hometown for a few more days, after all, it is not easy to come back, they have also seen it, how can they not be tired after traveling thousands of miles all the way?

Zhao Hong is also going back to the city to see his old friends and classmates, and by the way, to see the last remaining investment project of Zhao Song Group Company in T City.

Standing on the side of the street in T City, looking at the YZ Street in front of me, which was once known as not much worse than Chang'an Street in Beijing, although it has been 12 years since I left T City, there is basically no change except for some more high-rise buildings.

Wuyi Road is still very narrow, and it is even more crowded at a glance, but it is no longer crowded with bicycles, but all kinds of cars!

Although the aunts in the square haven't danced yet, it's not that they don't dance, but there is a lot of coal dust in the air.

In the distance, there was a hoarse singing voice from inside the shopping mall.

"The first snow of 2002

Coming a little later than ever

A No. 2 bus parked on the eighth floor

Took away the last falling yellow leaves

The first snow of 2002

It's a complex that is hard to give up in Urumqi......"

This song of a certain lang became popular as soon as it was released, don't want it! Very recognizable voice and singing method, singing empty and aftersound, and the lyrics have a bit of literary and artistic pure romance!

At least Zhao Hong likes his song more, although the seasons depicted are different, but the emotions in the song are very similar to his feelings at this moment!

It has been 25 years since the reform and opening up, except for the initial time, the development of S province has become more and more backward, although it has also followed the development of the general trend a lot, but it is far from the development speed of all parts of the country!

"Drip ......"

Zhao Hong's mobile phone rang, and Lao Tian's voice came after connecting it.

"Lao Zhao, I saw you. I'll be there right away. ”

"Okay!"

After a while, a domineering car stopped on the side of the road near Zhao Hong, and the window glass rolled down to reveal Lao Tian with a happy face.

"It's nice to watch you go home, are you so happy?"

After getting into the car, Zhao Hong asked with some envy.

"That's a week back, in addition to going back to see my mother and brother's family, I also got together with a few friends, bragging and drinking. ”

Lao Tian said with a rather evocative look.

"The landlord's old wealth has returned to his hometown?

Zhao Hong said a little ridiculously.

"Don't say it! Actually, I didn't say anything, I just told them that I was currently working and living in Haishi!"

"They didn't ask anything else?"

They didn't ask much about the rest, but they were very envious that I had already bought a house in Haishi and started a family!

They all laughed and said that I also had three buckets of chaff on my dog's head, and I was lucky to go shit! ”

"That's true. No matter what city you are in, as long as you have a house and a job in the city, no matter how high or low your income is, you can actually live well. ”

……

The two of them drove all the way and chatted all the way, there was nothing too urgent today, but Zhao Hong wanted to see what was the difference between the development of the current T City and the previous life.

Along the main streets of the city, Jiefang Road, Wuyi Road, Xinjian Road, Jianshe Road, Shengli Street...... , the two of them watched as they walked.

The city as a whole hasn't changed much from what it was more than a decade ago. There is no change in the factories and mines in the northern part of the city, the factories are even more dilapidated, there are still many potholes on the roads, and there are also a lot of dust produced by the northern iron and steel companies floating in the air; several arsenals have basically closed their doors, and there are only three or two kittens and dogs left at the gate of the once most lively factory.

When they walked near the factory dormitory of Zhao Hong's parents, looking at the very lively roadside market outside, Zhao Hong and Lao Tian suddenly lost their interest in chatting.

The car can't move anymore, so just get out of the car and walk.

At roadside stalls, people haggle with each other and argue over pennies. Many stalls are wearing all kinds of work clothes, the first woolen mill, the second woolen mill、?? Chemical?? Machinery factory?? Machine tool factory ...... , in fact, the same is true for those who buy things.

"Lao Tian, the scale of the stalls here is a lot bigger! I still remember that the last time I came back, I only had it in the alley in front of me, why are they all on the street now?"

Zhao Hong looked at the roadside stalls crowded together as he walked, and asked Lao Tian in some surprise.

"Why don't you remember? I was stunned for a long time when I first saw him a few days ago, that guy is developing too fast, right? My mother also looked at me with disdain and said, I didn't have a backache when I stood and talked, but now I know that your brother is not easy!"

Lao Tian apologized and recalled the conversation between his mother and himself the day before yesterday.

"Your brother is also doing this, how is it?

Zhao Hong asked casually with some curiosity.

"Look, the guy over there, doesn't he look a little like me? It's just not as strong as I am. ”

Lao Tian pointed to a busy vendor in the distance, and looked at a tall man.

"Your brother didn't find a job to go to work? Your mother agreed that he would keep setting up a stall like this?"

"How is it possible? I used to work in an aluminum factory, but I can't stay at home all the time, right? I worked a few times, but I couldn't work for a long time, and then I simply set up my own stall!"

"Is it okay to earn?"

"The income is average, but others set up stalls to make money, but he contacted a wife, the family is a girl from the countryside, and now she has become my brother and daughter-in-law!

"Huh...... As long as people are good, any problem can be solved slowly. ”

"Yes! Regardless of whether there are financial difficulties or not, at least people are happy! This is also the reason why I can work in the field with peace of mind. My brother is also three in a hurry, married and has a family, and has a son, the burden on his shoulders is heavier, there are more things to consider, not only the economic pressure is also greater, and many things in the family also need him to bear.

"Then you're not going to help him? This kind of street vendor is really not a long-term solution. ”

"I also told my mother a few days ago that I was going to lend them money to open a small supermarket! Isn't there still my mother in the family to subsidize them? I can also help them take care of their children. ”

On the one hand, the elderly can enjoy the joy of family, and on the other hand, they can also promote the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. ”

……

Looking at the roadside stalls, there are already many simple small sheds, and there is already a trend of changing from itinerant vendors to fixed shops.

This kind of chaotic scene here should continue for many more years, after all, there are too many poor people around this place.

And there are not many job opportunities, if you want to find a job, you need to go through the entire urban area, from the northernmost part of the city to the south of the city to work, you don't earn much money and waste a lot of time on the road, and people's hard work is in vain!

But who has a good solution? T City is really outdated!

Zhao Hong couldn't help but think a little sadly. I want to talk about "The Struggle of Ordinary People of Rebirth" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
