Chapter 90: A Trip to Chengdu

Su Can returned home at half past eleven in the morning, and his father Su Chengye had already bought a train ticket to Chengdu, Sichuan, at 4:20 p.m.

Su Chengye wore a new suit that Su Weimin bought for him, the shoes were Cheng Liang's pointed scalp shoes, and he also wore a mechanical watch that was popular in the mid-nineties on his wrist.

"Shave your beard and tidy up your clothes." Lin Anqin was preparing lunch for the two of them in the kitchen, came out to take a look, and said, "I always feel that something is wrong?" ”

"One less tie." Su Can touched his chin and circled around his father, and suddenly realized.

"I'll look in my room." Lin Anqin took off her apron and rummaged through the wardrobe in the room, and finally found a white tie for Su Chengye.

After he changed his dress, the shadow of the poor and sour teacher seemed to be missing from him, and was replaced by the style of a successful businessman, especially the style of frowning at every turn, which seemed to outsiders to be even more majestic. Even her mother, Lin Anqin, sighed, "Lao Su is a boss." ”

Su Can smiled and said, "Mom is like a boss lady." ”

"Come on, I'm going to get what I'm going to ask for." Lin Anqin was disgusted, the luggage prepared for the father and son also included toothbrushes, toothpaste, a change of clothes, and a sheet to cover the body on the train, in addition to miscellaneous snacks, a large army pot with two liters of water, and two aluminum square boxes containing hot meals, Su Can's lunch box contained egg fried rice with two chicken legs, and a salted egg.

Lin Anqin always talked about the expensive things on the train, so he brought a boxed lunch directly.

Su Can doesn't feel ashamed to eat on the train with a boxed lunch, but in this era, it is normal to bring his own food.

"Remember to bring a map of the provincial capital of Sichuan." Su Chengye remembered and said, he didn't know anything about Sichuan Province at all, although Su Can had lived in Chengdu, Sichuan for a period of time in the future, but now his identity is only a 16-year-old student, naturally he can't be exposed, it is impossible to not even go out, he knows how to go thousands of miles away, it is too strange.

"yes, I'll wait to buy the map." Su Can said.

"Will you buy it?"

"Dad, don't worry, I'm in high school anyway." Su Can rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I'll go out and get the money."

Su Chengye withdrew 10,000 yuan from the construction bank outside and came back.

He carried his ID card and 10,000 yuan with him, which are the basis for living and walking outside, money is a man's guts, there is enough money, don't be careful outside.

Because Su Can was only 16 years old and had no ID card, he went to the Xinhua Bookstore in Laojie and bought a map of the provincial capital of Chengdu.

Anyway, train tickets don't need to be purchased with ID cards, and the real-name system for train tickets in 2010 was only started on trial under the pressure of the Spring Festival.

The use of the ID card is to make copies in the hotel or when signing a contract, but there is no need for Su Can's, his father's ID card is completely fine.

After eating lunch early at noon, Su Can and his son took a long-distance bus at 1:20 at the old bus station in Pinghai County to catch the train at the railway station in Xingcheng City.

Su Chengye sat in the seat of the passenger car, drank water frequently, and looked at his watch.

Su Can was not in a hurry at all, and took the time to squint for a while, after all, from Pinghai County to Xingcheng, it is generally not a traffic jam for an hour and a half, if there is a traffic jam, it will probably waste half an hour, but fortunately, the train is more than 4 o'clock to drive, and it will not be impossible to catch today's train.

At 3:20, in the Xingcheng Railway Station, the river was endless.

Su Chengye bought a ticket for the 5619 train, and the two waited in the waiting room until 4:20, and found that the train was temporarily delayed, and it was not until 4:40 that the train entered the station with a roaring sound.

The olive-green train stopped quietly in the platform like a long dragon, there were police officers standing outside the cordon of each carriage, and passengers were constantly getting off the exit, and the train was filled with a low and depressing atmosphere, which made Su Can very uncomfortable.

When queuing up to get on the train, Su Can looked at the green train with a sense of nostalgia.

In the era when the railway did not develop rapidly, the green car witnessed the joys and sorrows of generations of Chinese.

With the continuous development of China's railways, the green train with poor riding environment and slow speed has gradually disappeared from people's field of vision, along with the special smell of metal mixed with coal on the clothes left on the clothes after taking the green train, the small fan that rotates and the feeling of looking out, smelling and hearing from the window that can be opened by the green train.

Su Can, father and son, took the ticket and found their hard seat, put the luggage at their feet, and just sat down.

The train whistled loudly, and the carriages began to sway.

The train started and whistled loudly again.

There was a slight tremor that followed, and the train started slowly, carrying heavy carriages, carrying so many passengers and Su Can and them to a distant land.

The scenery outside the window began to recede rapidly, and the city buildings blurred.

"I went to other places when I was a student, and now I have been thinking about it for more than ten years, and I have been living in a small county town until now, and I have achieved nothing." Su Chengye said with some embarrassment.

"Dad, the distance from Xingcheng to Chengdu, Sichuan is 1432 kilometers, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten hours, so you better sleep first." Su Can looked at the map for a while, sat at the innermost part of the seat, and said with his right hand lining the glass.

And besides, besides-

When a green train passed by, a huge roar, deafening was more shocking and exciting than the implanted impression, simply put, Su Can's ears buzzed and he couldn't hear the sound for half a minute.

At half past ten o'clock, in the dead of night, Su Can put his head on the window, and he could feel the gentle tremor of the train as it pressed through the crack of the railroad tracks.

This hurried tremor and forward click, without stopping, drags you into the distance, without hesitation or the slightest room for negotiation.

Nothing was said all night.

It was 6:40 a.m.

On the border of Chengdu, Sichuan, the long whistle of a train bagpipe pierced the quiet early morning.

"Dear passengers and friends: you have arrived at the terminal of this train, Chengdu Railway Station, please prepare your luggage and prepare to get off." The train voice horn makes an announcement.

"Dad, we're in Sichuan." Su Can opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and looked out the window.

Outside, the scenery is very different from the southern city, the sun is slightly drunk, the sky is exposed to the golden red fish maw, the thick cables are densely covered with telephone poles, the green landscape, the mix of low houses and tall buildings, full of foreign taste.

The train was crowded with people, and it took a while to be busy before it fell silent.

Su Can rinsed his mouth and washed his face in the small toilet, while Su Chengye took the time to go to the toilet, and waited until the 5619 train slowly entered the station, and the father and son took their luggage and left the station with the tide of people.

When Su Can's feet stepped on the solid ground, he felt the thickness of the marble, and exhaled softly.

Returning to this era, Su Can finally came to this land with another identity.

He watched the passengers coming and going at the train station, and suddenly he had the urge to roar loudly and vent his frustration.

"Su Can, what's wrong with you?" Su Chengye said suspiciously.

"Huh? Dad, it's nothing, it's just that I'm shocked by the economic prosperity of this big city. Su Can scratched his head and said.

"Yes! When will my hometown develop to this point? Su Chengye said with emotion.

"There will be a day!" Su Can smiled brightly at Su Chengye.

Chengdu, Sichuan, is worthy of being the center of science and technology, business and trade, finance, transportation and communication hub in southwest China.

The economic process that Su Can personally felt in the morning was far more developed than the central region of the interior, and there was already the prototype of a large steel city in the future, and at the same time, Sichuan also gave people a feeling that there were many special people.

In 1998, the built-up area of Chengdu was 604.1 square kilometers, with a permanent population of 9.892 million. As far as the eye can see, the streets are full of people.

Su Can and Su Chengye discussed, went to Haijiao City in Chengdu at 10 o'clock, and sat in a Xiali taxi to take a look at the environment of Chengdu's big city.

"Big brother, you're an outsider, aren't you?" The driver was a man in his forties, smiling and working as a tour guide for Su Can and his son.

"Well, we're here to play this time." Su Can spoke first, it is difficult for you to pretend to be a local here, but the Sichuan dialect is notoriously difficult to learn.

"That's tourism?! Hehe, I know that there are a lot of tourist places, why don't I introduce them to you? The driver spoke thick Sichuan Mandarin.

Su Chengye saw a company with a very wide area, so he said, "Which company is that?" ”

"Hey! Big brother, that's our local Hongguang industry. The driver said proudly.

"This is Hongguang Industry?!" Su Chengye had heard of Hongguang Industry, which is a very large company, even in Pinghai County, it is famous.

The black glass window fell, Su Can saw here that the red light industry has been established for 6 years, is vigorously unfolding, the state-owned red light electron tube factory and Sichuan Provincial Trust and Investment Company, Bank of China Sichuan Branch, Bank of Communications Chengdu Branch and other financial enterprises jointly initiated the formation, is the first joint-stock enterprise in Chengdu by the state-owned natural enterprise, through the joint-stock system transformation of the establishment of joint-stock enterprises, in Chengdu to create a precedent for the large-scale integration of financial capital and industrial capital.

To say that the red light industry may not be very clear, but its predecessor state-owned red light electron tube factory is famous in the country, founded in 1958, is one of the 156 major consulting projects during China's "First Five-Year Plan" period, is the earliest large-scale comprehensive electron beam device base in China, more bluntly, China's first self-developed and produced color picture tube was born here.
