Qingshi, as the province's GDP for thirteen consecutive years, including the cultural capital, the brand capital, the science and technology capital, the garden city and other honors of the strong city, under the jurisdiction of nine counties and cities, and Jiang City, is the nine counties and cities under the Qingshi economy is the most developed, the most intensive technology industry, the first county-level city of culture and entertainment, the main industries cover shoes and clothing, machinery, e-commerce, hotel entertainment and other industries, it is said that 30% of the country's shoes and clothing are produced in Jiang City, ten people in the world, there is a person wearing clothes or shoes produced in Jiang City, the tube is a leopard, the degree of economic development of Jiang City can be seen。

Secondly, Qingshi is located on the coast and has the third largest trade port in Huaxia, and its annual cargo throughput is said to account for one-fifth of the entire Huaxia country. A variety of goods from various countries can be found in the city, and it is common to see foreigners dressed in exotic costumes on the streets, and many foreigners have lived there for a long time.

All in all, no matter from the economic, cultural and other aspects, Qingshi is one of the best strong cities in the country. There is a faint trend of catching up with and overtaking first-tier cities such as Haishi.

The village where Zhou Hao is located, Yingxi Village, is one of several villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Jiang City, located at the junction of Jiang City and Qing City, the intersection of provincial highways and national highways, and high-speed entrances and exits, which happens to be the hub of the two major cities.

In addition, Yingxi Village was renamed Yingxi Industrial Zone as early as ten years ago because of economic policy, including Yingxi Village, nearly ten surrounding villages, all of which were unified into the scope of Yingxi Industrial Zone, with the introduction of foreign capital and policy incentives, the industrial park has already formed a fairly developed industrial cluster chain, which has given birth to several national famous listed groups, and because of the excellent economic benchmarking effect, it was assessed as a provincial economic demonstration zone three years ago.

The industrial park is run through several spacious asphalt roads, each of which is equipped with green belts and street lights, which are very modern.

In the past few years when Zhou Hao left Qingshi to go out, the industrial zone has been heavily constructed, in addition to the original village layout, the houses have not been moved, the fields opposite the national highway in front of the village have risen the largest aquatic products, fruits and vegetables wholesale market in the province, and the large woodland behind the village has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, uprooting a large enterprise covering a wide area.

Zhou Hao, who was walking on the road, was like a child, looking left and right, just like a foreigner.

"Are you?Zhou Hao?"

Walking on the road, he was suddenly stopped by a pleasant voice, Zhou Hao, who frowned slightly, slowly turned his head, only to see a beautiful young woman, with long hair to her waist, wearing a hard hat, riding a white electric car, and behind her sat a very beautiful, dressed companion, at this moment, the woman riding the bicycle was looking at Zhou Hao with some uncertainty in her eyes.

"You are?"

"Xiao Xiaoyun from Class 4, don't you remember me?"

Zhou Hao also felt that the face of the woman in front of him was a little familiar, and after thinking for a while, he overlapped this ordinary face with the junior high school classmate in his memory, showed a smiling face, and replied: "Yes, I didn't expect to meet an old classmate here by such a coincidence." ”

The woman behind Xiao Xiaoyun looked at Zhou Hao and found that this person was wearing a set of stall shirts and jeans that did not exceed 100 yuan, and a pair of unknown sneakers on his feet, and couldn't help but show a disdainful expression.

His eyes swept over Zhou Hao casually, patted Xiao Xiaoyun on the shoulder in front of him and said, "Xiaoyun, let's go!"

It's just that Xiao Xiaoyun obviously didn't mean to leave, stopped the electric car, and said: "Where have you been in the past few years! I haven't seen you in several class reunions, and I thought you were missing." ”

As he spoke, he got off the electric car and took off his helmet, looking very concerned, but this action made the beautiful woman who was still sitting on the electric car a little unhappy.

"Hehe, it's nothing, I just went out to do business with a relative, and I only came back this year. Zhou Hao didn't want to explain, so he prevaricated for a random reason.

"Business? I think they went out to work and were driven back. The beautiful woman who was still sitting on the electric car, playing with her mobile phone with an impatient face, said angrily: "What kind of gold is it to put on your face." ”

Zhou Hao smiled faintly, and didn't want to refute, although this woman was good-looking, but the woman who was dressed up in the daytime, when she was in the Rong City, she had never seen a thousand, but also five hundred, as for the profession of this beautiful woman, Zhou Hao didn't bother to pay attention to it, let alone have any thoughts about this kind of woman who begged for a living in Fengyue place, and naturally ignored the woman's words.

Just thinking about it, this Xiao Xiaoyun was a little surprised that he could recognize himself. And I didn't recognize each other.

"Cousin, how can you say that Zhou Hao, he was a top student like us back then, with very good grades, and in the three years of school sports, he won the championship in every event. ”

The woman in the electric car looked even more disdainful.

"What age is it now, can those grades in junior high school be moved? If you have good grades, why can't you even afford a car, can you eat with good sports grades, why don't you win the world championship. Okay, okay, I believe in my sister's vision and don't associate with this kind of person. At first glance, you can tell that he is not a good person. ”

"You!"

"What am I?" he said, put down his phone, stepped forward, put his hands on the handlebars of the electric car, and said: "If you don't go, I'm leaving, what do you have to talk about with this kind of person." ”

Xiao Xiaoyun glanced at Zhou Hao with a guilty face, and Zhou Hao only smiled faintly and replied: "If you have something, you can go first, I will also go back." ”

Xiao Xiaoyun said: "How many numbers do you have, if you don't leave one, it will be easy to contact old classmates when the time comes." It's also more convenient to have a dinner party or something. ”

Zhou Hao reported a number, but Xiao Xiaoyun called back very seriously, and then was pulled into the electric car by the beautiful woman who was constantly urging and walked away.

Looking at the backs of the two distant paths, Zhou Hao couldn't help but smile, thinking back to Xiao Xiaoyun's sentence: I haven't seen you for five years, where have you gone?

Yes, this is five years, and Zhou Hao can't help but feel like a world away.

I didn't take this episode to heart. Still looking around, looking around.

In the past five years, although people are outside, they have naturally heard a lot of changes in their hometowns, but the degree of change is too big, the roads in the village have become cement roads, and the village roads that used to have no lights in the dark have a bright street lamp every 100 meters, even if the vegetable market not far from home is also decent, and there are many norms.

Stop and go, feel the changes in your hometown, at this time, the sun is already thin, the residual sun is like blood, in the sky, fish scale clouds are layered on top of each other, all provoked the red glow.

Along the way, my heart is indescribably comfortable, and the haze turned by those bad past events seems to have diminished a lot.

Suddenly, I remembered the banyan temple that I often went to when I was a child, and my heart moved, and I didn't know what the huge banyan tree with four or five people hugged together, and what the temple under the banyan tree looked like now, whether it would also disappear because of economic development and the transformation of the park.

Since it was a walk home, I simply walked towards the Banyan Temple in my memory.

Banyan Temple is located on the highest hill in the industrial park.

As for the name of the Banyan Temple, strictly speaking, it is not called this name.

In Zhou Hao's childhood memory, there were still large mountains and forests on the mountains of his childhood, with ups and downs, mountains, lakes, and large mountains and forests between several villages. There is a huge banyan tree on the top of a hill, and under the banyan tree, is a dilapidated single-room temple.

I heard the eldest old man in the village say that even if it was his grandfather's grandfather, he didn't know what the temple was called, when it appeared, but he only knew that his ancestors had called the small temple the Banyan Temple, so he called it so, and the reason was very simple, because there was a huge banyan tree next to the temple.

When he was a child, Zhou Hao and many children in the village went to that place to play, but they did not do squatting and peeing under the banyan tree.

Thinking about it, I arrived in front of the Banyan Temple.

In front of me, an excavator was working in the open space in front of the Banyan Temple, and there were several people with yellow safety helmets on the side who looked like engineers directing something. On the field, there were many people who looked like migrant workers coming in and out, pouring materials.

"May I ask what this is?" Zhou Hao felt a little gloomy in his heart, thinking, sure enough, even this place is going to be transformed, so he stopped a middle-aged man with a gray face and asked with a migrant worker: "Is this going to be demolished?"

"Demolition?" the migrant worker replied in non-standard Mandarin, carrying a steel bar, "No, no, no, this is to replan this place and turn it into a park." ”

Zhou Hao was relieved, how to say that this banyan tree and temple, to say the least, have a history of two hundred years, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a cultural relic, and it will naturally not be demolished.

"Damn, it's going to change this day! Hey, it looks like we're going to call it a day early. While talking to the worker, a young man in the crowd wearing a hard hat and obviously looking like a designer looked up helplessly with drawings in his hand. put on the helmet on his head and said: "It was a good sunny day just now, why are the clouds rolling now, this spring in the south, it really changes when it is said." ”

"Who says it's not, it should be a rainstorm, so it's better to let everyone call it a day. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Hao also looked up at the sky, and sure enough, there were dark clouds rolling, as for those fish scale clouds above his head, he didn't know where to go. Instead, there were dark clouds as black as ink, as if they could fall at any moment.

"Okay, okay! Notify everyone to call it a day! As for the start time, wait for the notice! Hurry up, I don't understand, how can it be like this for a while, this rain will fall!"

During this time, someone ran over to persuade Zhou Hao to go back early, only to hear Zhou Hao speak fluent local dialect, so he smiled and persuaded a few words, ignoring Zhou Hao and taking the engineering team down the mountain.

And Zhou Hao, seeing the heavy rain of beans that had already fallen, was not in a hurry to go home, he cursed secretly in his mouth, and simply rushed into the Banyan Temple.

I thought to myself, this rain is estimated to be only a shower, and it shouldn't rain for too long.

It's just that it is not what people want, looking at the darkening sky and the rain curtain that has not stopped at all, Zhou Hao has already begun to scold his mother in his heart.
