(Favorite, push; favorite, recommend.) )
Mukden is the provincial capital of Liaodong.
This is a city with a rich history, once the capital of our Qing Dynasty, retains the only two Forbidden City buildings in China, and is also the economic and cultural distribution center of the six northern provinces, with countless firsts in the country, known as China's Ruhr in history, is a city of heavy industry and fine industry.
In 90 years, Fengtian has become a very advanced modern metropolis, with high-rise buildings, wide roads, rich people's livelihood and prosperous industries.
At this time, the Northeast was still a heavy industry base, a wealthy and developed area in China, and at the same time, it was also the region with the highest tax revenue in the country.
A police officer 212 crossed the Hunhe Bridge in the dust, drove in front of the Wulihe Stadium, and went north along Qingnian Street.
In the car, Xiaohong and Xiaowei sat in the back seat, staring at the bustling city outside the car, their eyes full of surprise, amazement, and confusion.
"It's so high, you can't see the roof. The road is so wide, it's full of cars, you see, cars. The woman was so good-looking. Xiaohong kept chattering and shouting, Xiaowei didn't speak, put his face on the car window and watched quietly.
After a while, Xiaohong sat up straight, pulled Xiaowei, and when Xiaowei turned around, she whispered: "Brother Devil, come too, I'm scared here alone." It's too big to go out, so what if I lose it?"
Xiaowei scratched his head, bit his lip, thought for a while and said, "Well, okay, I'll accompany you." But in fact, his heart is also chaotic, in his heart, a small county is a big city, all of a sudden came here, looking at that stadium has caught up with half of the county, after the initial surprise and excitement passed, all that was left in his heart was panic, fear of the unknown.
Xiaohong stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiaowei's clothes, as if she had a bottom in her heart all of a sudden, and turned her head to look out the window with great interest, and began to exclaim, Xiaowei looked at her side face, and her eyes slowly became firm, old man, what are you afraid of.
Li Zhonghua, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and said: "Come to Fengtian and go to school honestly, don't come out to wander around, it's night, remember? Xiaowei, no matter day or night, don't go to the station, don't listen? This side is different from ours, there are many people in the big place, everyone has it, robbing, cheating, stealing everywhere, since it is the station, if you go, you will suffer, and if you don't get it, you will throw it away, don't remember my words." ”
Xiao Wei and Xiao Hong nodded together.
Li Zhonghua continued: "Remember the phone number at home, at home, your father's unit, my unit, if there is something, call quickly, although we are a small place, but we can't be bullied, don't go to a chaotic place, don't go out at night, don't be afraid of others, uncle and your dad are on top." ”
Xiao Wei and Xiao Hong nodded together, and Xiao Wei asked, "Really, Uncle Li?
Li Zhonghua said: "There are people in charge, but there are so many people and so many things in a day, can they be managed? We still have to catch people, where to arrest them? There are hundreds of thousands of people in this area alone, and there are people all over the country, and those who have a hukou and those who do not have a hukou, do you think that there are tens of thousands of people in our county, and they can listen to a fart in the east and a fart in the west." Where do you mix in the big city, you have to have a few more eyes, and you have to be careful when talking to people and doing things, don't trust anyone easily, and you can't say everything to everyone, remember?"
Xiaowei nodded and said, "Remember, the more people there are, the more things you do, I understand." Uncle, don't worry, I can take care of Xiaohong. ”
Li Zhonghua was stunned for a moment and said, "You want to stay here too?"
Xiaowei said: "Well, Xiaohong is afraid of being here alone, and I'm also worried." Anyway, I'm going to work anywhere, looking for a job here, and there's something to take care of. ”
Li Zhonghua asked: "Can you do it at home?" Your brother is in the army, and your brother is in school, can you do the work at home?"
Xiaowei scratched his head, thought about it, took a rough breath, and said, "It's okay, I'll send money back to find someone to do, and it's better to make money than farming." Xiaohong went to school, so I looked for a job to do, and I guess I could earn more money here than in the county. When I have money in my hand, I will plant the land for others, and then let my parents come to the city to enjoy the blessings. There is no way out if you are tired of farming. Anyway, I'm young, and I'm tossing. It's a big deal to go back again, and it's only four years. ”
Li Zhonghua nodded and said, "It's okay to come out and break through, it's best to leave Nashan Kara." Do you have money in your pocket? Where do you live?"
Xiaowei nodded and said, "I have money, I have been carrying my salary for the past few months." Where to live, I'll look for it when Xiaohong settles down. Uncle, you said, there are so many outsiders, they can find a place to live, and so can I. ”
Li Zhonghua thought for a while and said, "Wait a while, after settling Xiaohong, I'll take you to find someone to see if there's a way over there." You can't go around blindly here, and if you can't be caught as a blind stream, then you will suffer and have to go to the shelter. ”
Xiaowei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle." ”
Li Zhonghua lit a cigarette and said, "Be careful, it's not easy to mix outside." If there's something going on, you can run to the police, and when you get there, you can call your uncle a policeman, and you can usually reach out, so we don't want him to help, just don't suffer the immediate loss. Give me a call when the time comes, and I'll find someone. ”
Xiaowei nodded and asked, "Uncle, do you still have acquaintances in Fengtian? ”
Li Zhonghua shook his head and said: "Running around for a year, why don't you know a few people, deep friendship is not counted, but small things should be okay." Besides, you are a soldier for nothing? There is no comrade-in-arms in all parts of the country, as long as you can contact someone, you are a brother, and everything is easy. People, you have to have a few brothers in this life, and one person can't do anything. ”
The car went all the way, the buildings on the side of the road gradually became shorter, one by one houses, there were more cyclists, densely crowded on the road, the bus dragged two big pigtails and chirped, and rows of willow trees were planted on both sides of the road, and the branches and leaves were swaying in the wind.
Li Zhonghua said: "Northeastern University is next to the South Lake, you can go there to play if you have nothing to do, it's a big lake, you can go boating, the scenery is good, don't run far, Fengtian is too big, it will take a day from this end to that end, and you won't be able to come back when the time comes, and it's chaotic and dangerous." ”
Xiaohong said: "Don't worry, uncle, I'm not going anywhere, just staying in school, I'm here to go to school, not to play." Xiaowei can't either, he just goes to work, just come and see me when it's okay, you can't run around. ”
Li Zhonghua said: "It's not that you don't want to play and see, be careful in everything, and have a few more eyes." Ask a few more classmates before you go out, and don't run out alone or two. A lot of people can sometimes make a difference. When you have been here for a long time, a year or two, it will be good to get acquainted, and there must be locals among your classmates, and it will be good to know a few more locals when the time comes. ”
The driver turned his head and said, "Bureau Li, it's here." ”
The three of them turned their heads to look over, a row of European-style stone columns, wrought-iron fences, an old European-style iron gate, and a sign with black letters on a white background on the right doorpost: Northeast Institute of Technology.
