Chapter 8: Returning to the City (2)
When I arrived at the Qinjiang Wharf and waited for the ferry, I remembered that I had to pass through the Qinjiang Port in Qinjiang to return to the county, and the Qinjiang Bridge in the previous life was only completed at the end of 2003. After the ribbon-cutting that day, there was a fireworks show in the evening, which is also quite a big event in a small county. Everyone told each other and went away together. Qianxiao also went to join in the fun with her husband Zhang Hua and her son Guoguo.
The fireworks are quite beautiful, and the bridge is just like that, nothing more than a bridge over the sea, relatively high, and very long, with high meniscus-shaped railings on both sides. But it was the long list of street lamps that left a deep impression on the smile. When the white light is seen in the distance, it feels like a yellow halo is circled. The soft light gently sprinkled from the street lamp, slowly dispersed, and merged into one piece, hazy but warm. The long one stretches all the way to the sea, and it feels like walking in the starry Milky Way, and it is indescribably proud.
However, the next day, I heard that an old man from other places was accidentally squeezed to death by the crowd that night while watching the fireworks, and he laughed lightly for a while. However, the local villagers in Qinjiang were quite happy, and they spontaneously bought incense and candles to worship the old man after the government arranged the funeral, thanking him for his sacrifice. From the beginning of the construction of the bridge to the completion of the project, the project went smoothly and there were no accidents. The locals were very frightened, and according to the old people in the village, it would take a movement (accident) to break ground. The old man squeezed to death on the bridge, and it was difficult to eliminate the disaster. There is superstition and exaggeration, after all, it is always difficult to adjust, but when the bridge dies with a light smile, it is still good, there is no dilapidation and no maintenance, unlike the tofu scum project of later generations. I don't know if it was a fulfillment of the crowding incident at that time, it is unknown.
The current Qinjiang has not yet developed, it is just a small town, which is divided into two because of the Qinjiang River. Because the town is a traffic fortress, plus there is a port, there are relatively more vehicles and people coming and going, which is more lively than the smiling Lipu Town, close to urbanization, and can be seen from the way people dress up.
The markets in the countryside are allotted with time, and they only sell things in the morning, and at noon there are a few stalls left who have not bought out and do not want to leave.
The Qinjiang Pier is an exceptional place. There is a constant flow of people here all day long, cars come and go, and waiting for the ferry happens to coincide with meal time, everyone will get off the bus to buy snacks to cushion their stomachs. If you have a flexible brain, you can start a food stall for passengers, one and two, everyone will learn from each other, and slowly other things will be integrated, forming a small market, or a small market for a whole day. Of course, there is also a small market on the opposite side of the pier.
The Qinjiang Wharf is simple and dexterous, and it is made of many long strips of stones. Stretch all the way to the sea, and when the ferry arrives, shake the lap down and just fit the stone.
The waiting cars lined up slightly neatly along the stone bar, while the individual passengers waiting for the transition gathered around in twos and threes to make their own trips.
Seeing that there are still some cars parked in front of me, it is a little late for my turn to be in my house. The current ferry is still a small ferry, and it can only be loaded with two small cars and a tractor at a time, and it is already the limit to stuff some individual passengers; In the case of buses, there are only two buses at a time. Other cars should avoid the passenger car, and let the bus pass first, no matter where you are in line. This is a more local rule.
"Mom, wait until it's still early, why don't you go down and breathe. Let my uncle and the driver go get something to eat. ”
When Lin Mi'er heard the words of a light smile, she secretly scolded herself for being confused. "I think you're greedy. But this time it's time for you to be greedy. Big brother, little brother, and Comrade Li (driver), let's go down and have a look, and eat something first, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wait. I'm about to eat something, and I still have to eat if I don't eat in the county now. ”
"I've got dry food, you guys go eat it, I'm still looking at it." The driver, Comrade Li, said a little shyly. There was a suspicious flush on his dark face, but it was hard to spot without looking closely at the dark skin.
"Let's put together important things such as money and other important things, and other things have nothing to do with it. Lock the door for more peace of mind. I've seen some cars that probably run this road a lot, and I'm already familiar with them, not only the doors are unlocked, but even the keys are still there. You can see that the engine of the car in front is still running, and this must be so that the ferry can get up quickly when it comes. ”
"Wow, uncle, you are worthy of being born in the People's Liberation Army, and you know everything clearly." Looking up with a light smile and adoration, the eldest uncle still has this hand. "We've been going back and forth a lot, but I don't know you yet. Isn't it my sister? ”
Meiyin nodded: "Yes." ”
"How can you do it in the army without real skills. Little girl, don't be a sycophant, and use an honorific title like 'you'. Lin Jianhua rarely joked, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he wanted to laugh, but maybe because he didn't smile all year round, it was more ugly to laugh or not than to cry.
"Uncle, don't laugh, that smile makes me cold." Light smile deliberately clasped his hands on his shoulders and shaking.
"The little girl also joked that I was coming, it was rare to make me happy, and I was not allowed to laugh. Well, I won't laugh anymore. Now let's listen to me, tidy up, and go to dinner together. ”
The little uncle secretly stretched out his thumb with a light smile. With a light smile, she grimaced at him and opened the car door and jumped out.
The wind blew with a strong smell of sea, and the salty taste was not much better than in the car. Take a deep breath and exhale it again, repeating it many times before the feeling of tumbling in your stomach is suppressed. I didn't expect to have signs of motion sickness. I was puzzled by a light smile, I didn't have an example of motion sickness in my previous life, why is this life different? Could it be that after being reborn, there is a change in the physique? Thinking about it again, I laughed a little, after my sister left in my previous life, I had a high fever that did not go away, I was always dazed, I had less time to wake up, and I had more time to sleep. It is estimated that on the way back to the city, I have been sleeping, so there are no symptoms of motion sickness, and it may also be regarded as the cause of illness. also explained the reason why he had no impression of this journey in his previous life.
But when I grew up, I went to study in other places, and the car went back and forth, so used to it that I didn't pay attention to whether I got motion sickness or not, and it didn't happen once anyway. It seems that this weak body should step up its exercise, otherwise it will affect the plan to make a fortune.
At the lively Qinjiang Wharf, there are long queues of cars waiting to cross the river, and on the left are stalls selling things. The vendors are shouting hard, wooing customers and selling their stuff. On the right is a snack street, the hot water vapor is fragrant, and the light smile feels even more hungry.
There are local wheat coke, dregs, traditional steamed buns, and of course, hot wontons and noodles.
Smile lightly and go to the wonton stall, see that the rolling thin and thin wonton skin is wrapped in minced very minced meat filling, put it in boiling water and tumble, scoop it up and pour it into a soup bowl made of shrimp skin, almost transparent, sprinkled with some green onions, fragrant and attractive.
"Boss, how many bowls of wontons?"
"Two cents for those who have food stamps, and three cents for those who don't."
"Mom, I want to eat ravioli." looked at Lin Mi'er with a pitiful smile, and glanced at the wontons in the bowl of Zhengxiang's uncle who was sitting there eating, only to see him eat the wontons with soup in three or two times, and lick the bottom of the bowl with unfinished thoughts.
Lin Mi'er looked at the shallow smile funny, showed a child's unique expression, asked everyone, and shouted: "Boss, six bowls of wontons." ”
"Okay, wait a minute."
Everyone found a good place to sit down, "Big brother, how can you guys stuff your teeth with this point, I'll buy some others." ”
"One wheat jog per person, that thing fills your stomach."
Lin Mier took out five yuan and gave it to Meiyin and asked her to go to the side to buy a few pieces of Maijiao.
"Sister, I'm with you."
"You have your share everywhere." Miin said with a smile.
"I'm not going to help you get something." Light smile pulled the beautiful voice's hand, "Let's go." ”
Xiaoxiao picked up her sister and ran to the stall selling wheat coke.
