Chapter Eighty-Nine: What I Saw and Heard in the Tang Dynasty? That Morning"
"It's so unreal! I can't imagine that those stingy rich people will compete to donate their money and build houses for the poor! I could barely believe my eyes! Pan Ben sighed incessantly, and reached out to take the chopsticks handed over by the boss earlier.
On July 23, the eighth year of Datang Baoda, the day before the talent ceremony, a group of six of us couldn't stand Jia Yuhang's prodding, so we went to the low-rent housing office that had been making a lot of noise in the past two days early in the morning. Although it was still early for us to arrive, there were already many people gathered around the foot of the mountain to watch a group of craftsmen "play magic". Yes, it is to play magic, a group of people have different division of labor, hands and feet, and the houses are almost growing up at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and they are increasing.
We were dumbfounded as we looked at the plaque that stood after the village was built, and of course, the long list of donors standing there. Each person donated at least 3,000 yuan, so that the mouths of several of us cracked even bigger, my good boy, these people are really rich, and they are really willing! However, it is rumored that whoever donates money is likely to receive the first batch of Orders of Honor, so it's no wonder! If I had money, I would also fight for the honor of being the first in the world!
Several people looked at everything in front of them, and they all had a very strange feeling. Therefore, on the way to visit the Jinling City School Palace, everyone did not speak, until we stopped for breakfast at a shop of "Liao Ji Breakfast", Pan Ben spoke.
"It's just that I'm reminiscing and wondering all the way. In this history, the moment when rich businessmen donated money was basically accompanied by blood and force, and as soon as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty issued an order to calculate and tell the order, 'most of the businessmen above the middle class were ruined, and the country got hundreds of millions of people's property. 'Why is it that as soon as the Lord of Honor system came out, many wealthy businessmen enthusiastically donated money? The nerd Qiu Xu said in great confusion. The soy milk spread out in front of his eyes was a little cold, but he didn't move his chopsticks.
"I think it's because there are clear rewards and punishments! In our place, who ......" Jia Yuhang, who frowned, said halfway, but then stopped abruptly, and when we woke up and looked at him, he blushed very rarely, and then said, "We fish there, and whoever catches more will be rewarded." No, whoever contributes the most will let the fish pick first. β
It's really a little inexplicable, I glanced at Jia Yuhang in confusion, fishing is more rewarded, where is this?!
I also drank two sips of soy milk, and although I felt that it tasted good, I was a little absent-minded and muttered, "No matter how you feel, I am really reluctant to leave this Jinling City......"
Qiu Xu glanced at me and said loudly: "Huan Ran has spoken to the bottom of my heart!" I have been in Jinling City for two years, and I used to think that this Jinling City was prosperous and fun, but I didn't think that in just a few months, Jinling City suddenly became cute and moving. β
"Meng Yang, are you thinking of spring? A city is cute and moving? You're excited, right? Jia Yuhang laughed strangely and grabbed the narrow road.
"Brother Jia, ...... you" Qiu Xu's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Jia Yuhang speechless.
"Ha Luha, I'm kidding you! In my eyes, this Jinling City used to be like a moving girl, but now, it is like a seductive young woman! Jia Yuhang took a bite of the bun and said loudly.
Cut, we unanimously handed him a disdainful look! This Brother Jia is acceptable, but occasionally he is too vulgar and insulting!
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can't make any secret of it, these are the gratifying changes that Lord Lin Fenglin brought to this Jinling City, no, our Datang! Let's think about it, starting from the supermarket, recruiting ten questions, Honorary Lord, tsk, how did this person come up with it? Pan Ben shook his head and sighed again.
Hearing the words supermarket, the boss who was handing over a plate of steamed buns had a bright eye and couldn't help but stare at us.
"I, think about it, compare and compare, there is always a feeling that this change initiated by Lord Lin is by no means different from the changes of previous dynasties, it is so closely related to us, but it is so close, every bit of gratifying changes can be seen, I really can't find the right words to describe it. By the way, did you see the smiles on the faces of the villagers, how happy they were! Qiu Xu drank two sips of soy milk and couldn't help sighing.
"From within, overflowing with words, it is true happiness!" Pan Ben thought about it and threw out a sentence.
"Tsk, I really can't stand you readers, you just say that they are really happy, and it will be over." Jia Yuhang pouted and returned the contempt he had suffered just now.
"Hey, ladies and gentlemen, forgive the little old man for talking too much, Lord Lin is really happy to bring it!" The owner of the morning stall, who had been listening to us, came over and answered, his dusty face full of happy smiles.
"Oh, what do you say, uncle?" Pan Benqi said.
"My family works at the supermarket! Not to mention that the time in our house has been much better all of a sudden, that is, my family Xiang'er comes back every day, always tells us interesting things in the supermarket, and we are very happy every day, and we feel very happy to sell breakfast these days! Lao Liao said excitedly, adding an extra spoonful of soy milk to each of our bowls.
"That is, now, many people come to my house to say goodbye to Xiang'er, which is something we didn't dare to think about before!" The old lady Liao, who was also smiling, also came over and said.
Old Liao Tou glared at Old Liao Po, but there was no reproach on his face.
"It's just that my girl somehow turns her face when she mentions kissing, I don't know what Lu Dao thinks." Old Liao Po suddenly sighed, picked up the rag and turned to wipe the table.
"I'm old, I'm nagging, I hope the guest officer forgives me!" Old Liao smiled and turned to greet the other guests.
A real case is worth thousands of words, I listened to the speech of the boss earlier, and a very strong thought suddenly rose in my heart: No matter what the result of participating in the talent selection ceremony is, I won't go back, just stay in this Datang, even if it's just to see what this Datang will become!
"I'm not going back to Jiangbei again! Just stay in this Datang! I raised my head and said to a few literary friends.
"I'm not going back!" Pan Ben slapped the table and said.
"It's a happy place, and I don't want to go home! I can't be happy anymore! Qiu Xu also screamed strangely, raised his head and roared wildly.
Among the people who were traveling with him, only Jia Yuhang looked up to the east with a solemn expression, his eyes stared at the glow that had not dissipated in the east for a long time, his lips moved, and he did not speak.
In the days since, a lot of things have happened, there are things that everyone can think of, and there are things that everyone can never imagine, even the baby girl of Lao Liaotou has become the envy of the young women of the Tang Dynasty, and many mysteries between us have been revealed, we have all sighed and missed this morning, this morning when we set the trajectory of our lives, this ordinary and unusual morning.
Remembered.
