Chapter 41 There is always so much helplessness in life

After resting with his parents for a long time, Zhao Hong led his parents to visit Haishi Normal University the next day. Beautiful campus, beautiful and quiet environment, a comparison can be seen than the school environment of the elder brothers and sisters is much better, most of the remaining students are more confident, and finally went to the only canteen that is still open, spacious and bright restaurant, clean and tidy, Zhao Hong according to the parents' eating habits, played three portions of pasta and a soup, the quality is good, the taste is also very good, the price is indeed relatively expensive, so the high cost of living is also reasonable.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Hong went to the station to pick up his brother and sister-in-law, because his brother and sister-in-law had been to Haishi, and they just agreed to wait at the exit of the station. The train was about 20 minutes late.

Then I took a taxi to Zhao Hong's small courtyard and stayed in the third room. At this time, the benefits of the house are realized, more than 200 square meters of two floors, the first floor has three guest rooms, a hall, and the second floor also has three bedrooms and a study, plus a terrace. Don't talk about these few people, even a few more people are no problem at all.

It's just that because my brother and sister-in-law are newly married, Zhao Hong lives upstairs with his parents, and my brother and sister-in-law are downstairs, so if there is any movement, it will not be affected.

Li Weidong came over today, and made an appointment with him the day before yesterday, and in the past few days, he, a local, will lead his parents and brother to go around the local area, and Zhao Hong will go to Hangzhou City to handle Li Xiaofang's family's affairs. That's a big deal, too. If it goes well, Zhao Hong will arrange accommodation in Hangzhou, and the whole family will travel to Hangzhou again, and finally his brother and sister-in-law will accompany his parents back to their hometown, while Zhao Hong will return to Haishi alone.

Explain clearly to his family, leave 5,000 yuan for his parents and brother and sister-in-law, and leave Haishi after Li Weidong comes, and get on a long-distance bus to Hangzhou.

In 93, Hangzhou is still a city that has just begun to develop, there are no good large state-owned enterprises, only Hangzhou Iron and Steel is small in the same type, and the benefits are not too good. The other is West Lake tourism, the beautiful scenery of West Lake attracts people from all over the country and even neighboring countries to come here. Bringing consumption to promote the development of the local urban economy, but also brought high prices, and there is no large-scale urban construction, the scale of the city is small, neither as developed as the private enterprises in Wenshi, nor as many foreign enterprises in coastal cities, and it is only a slightly larger ordinary provincial capital.

Five hours later, Zhao Hong came to Hangshi North Railway Station. As soon as I got off the car, I bought a map, in the last life, Zhao Hong also came to Hangzhou, at that time, Hangzhou City developed greatly, has opened the framework of the city, developed many so-called new economic industries, and has become an industry giant, which has greatly promoted the development of Hangzhou's economy. At that time, Hangzhou City really became a beautiful and vibrant metropolis.

If you look at the map, it's still very different from five years later. I bought another Hangzhou Evening News, in addition to the same news as all newspapers, Zhao Hong mainly looked at the advertising page, all kinds of commodity advertisements, clothing, consumer goods, and found an advertisement for buying and selling a house, the house location is good, and the price is really told directly. Compared with how many times in the future, I don't know how much more sincerity is negotiable. And the price is really not expensive, compared to the tens of thousands of house prices in the world, it is simply the fire price of Chinese cabbage.

Zhao Hongdu was almost ready to take a look, but when he finally remembered it, he walked to the taxi stand on the side of the road and stopped a taxi, "The supply and marketing headquarters on Qingchun Road." ”

Well, when he got off the car, Zhao Hong was more satisfied, the driver in Hangzhou City was good, he could listen to Mandarin, and the car was more upscale than the taxi in Haishi, it was more comfortable to sit in, and the service was more standardized.

After getting off the bus, Zhao Hong began to observe the office building of Hangzhou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, which was a little dilapidated, and it was very different from the surrounding prosperous and fashionable commercial streets, which was very abrupt. It's already off work. The lights are out in the offices of the building. Very quiet.

Zhao Hong walked into the surrounding random small restaurant, first ate dinner, ordered a few local specialties, tasted it, fortunately there is no sweet and greasy taste of the market, good, Zhao Hong chatted with the boss while eating, this is also Zhao Hong's habit of going out to the field, first of all, to understand the accommodation situation, not to be inexplicably slaughtered, and secondly, to inquire about the situation of Hangzhou City Supply and Marketing Cooperative, if you can, you can inquire about the news of Li Xiaofang's mother, more understanding, you can have more possibilities to solve the problem.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the hotel is a familiar person, who has worked in this unit for many years, and has not been paid full salary in the past few years, and saw that the surrounding businesses have made money, so he took the initiative to apply for suspension of pay and leave his job. It's all tears, a bitter and hateful expression.

Zhao Hong took the opportunity to ask, "Fang Min, have you heard of it, it was assigned here after graduating from a junior college about 81 years later." ”

The boss slapped his thigh, "Familiar, that's a good person, a person with three children, taking care of two old people, who in the unit dormitory said that she didn't pick a thumbs up!"

"Why do you have three children, so many, and don't you have a husband?"

"If you don't say that the old man is good, one of his daughters, two brothers, a boy and a girl, and take care of his parents, the burden is too heavy, the children are slowly growing up and are all admitted to college, it is definitely right to call parents and brothers. It's just suffering yourself. It's just over forty, and he's already gray-haired. ”

"Didn't she remarry, then?"

"Alas, if you don't say it's amazing, no one dares to marry such a heavy burden!"

As he was talking, a middle-aged woman and a girl about the same age as Zhao Hong came out of the dormitory across the road pushing a snack stall cart.

The middle-aged woman under the street lamp pushed the cart hard, she was wearing a neat and neat white chef's suit, not very tall, leaving a long figure in the light. The trolley is stacked with bamboo skewers and skewers, with steaming pots and several liquefied gas tanks and stoves on the base. She and the girl pushed hard, as if it were a mountain, and the cart was as heavy as a mountain, pressing her rickety body.

Zhao Hong looked at the feeling of wanting to cry, how similar this scene was when his mother went out to set up a stall in the previous life.

Once her mother also used her aging body to push the cart forward desperately, using the meager profits she harvested every day to support Zhao Hong to study, and saving money for Zhao Hong to marry her daughter-in-law to help buy a house, it seems that Zhao Hong never said a word of thanks or many words of greeting in those days.

Zhao Hong blamed himself a little and looked forward to being able to treat his parents better in this life, so that he could feel a little comforted in his heart.
