Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Capital
I woke up at five o'clock in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that the gang leader was still sitting opposite with his eyes open, I whispered: "Gang leader, you can sleep for a while, I will watch the things." ”
The gang leader closed his eyes, wondering if he was asleep.
I sat by the window, washed my face, sat back and looked out the window, it was still dark, but it was much quieter than when the train was moving.
At one stop, the train stopped, and some of the people in the carriage woke up, and some changed positions and continued to sleep.
Summer in the north is also cool, people who get up early to work in the station still wear coats, some get on and some get off the train, and there are some vendors on the platform pushing small carts and carrying baskets to sell things.
Originally, I was a little apprehensive in my heart, the capital, that is our national capital, 5,000 years of precipitation, 90,000 miles of journey, all the essence of this ancient civilization is here, into Beijing, but also not to use all the things on the 'ideology and morality', five lectures and four beauties, give up your seat in the car, can't spit, civilized language, those, finally useful!
When I looked at the shouting of those vendors' cars on and off the car, and saw the ruins in the distance, I didn't think so, I had already walked so long, and all I saw were these things.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh to myself a few times, thinking too much.
Ning Hongyan and the third child woke up one after another, and when they saw that the gang leader was asleep, they were very careful in their movements, and when they came back from washing their faces, they didn't speak, and looked out through the windows on both sides.
It was getting brighter and brighter, and the people in the carriage were waking up, and the noise was getting louder and louder.
At seven o'clock, the gang leader opened his eyes, went over to wash his face, smoked a cigarette, and sat back to look at the scenery outside the window.
"Gang leader, have you ever been to the capital?" The third child can not care where he goes, except for Dujing.
"I've been here." The gang leader kept looking out the window, his eyes were much deeper, as if he was thinking about something about his youth.
Seeing that the gang leader didn't want to say more, the third child asked Ning Hongyan: "Have you ever been to the capital?" ”
"No, it's my first time." Ning Hongyan is not as excited as the two of us, just looking fresh.
At eight o'clock, the train stopped and swayed and finally stopped at a big station, the capital.
Knowing that it was the final stop, the people who got off the train were still in such a hurry, and the four of us were sandwiched in the crowd with our things, and walked out with the crowd.
When I came out of the station, it was a lively time, helping to carry things, helping to lead the way, helping to give people away, of course, helping was not in vain.
The gang leader has already explained, and someone will pick him up when he leaves the station, so we will look around.
"There, there, it's written to pick us up!" I was the first to see the sign, which said String Bell, Combi Shovel, and it could only be us.
The string bells have been put away, and the combination shovel has been left in Tengzhou.
We watched the sign squeeze through the crowd, and finally saw the person holding the sign, hey, what do you say?
This guy is the same age as us, maybe a year or two older, but that appearance, awl face, big buckteeth, not tall, hairstyle is not trendy, short sleeves on the upper body, big pants underneath, and a pair of flattened slippers on his feet are particularly conspicuous.
Beijing, don't you all have to be the people of the hour, this ???
The first time we met, the three of us really didn't look down on Zongxiao Village, and the long ones were also cheesy, and they were all the last characters in our village.
"It's Uncle Ning, right? I'm a small village, my dad asked me to pick you up, a few, please! "Zong Xiaocun knew who we were, and the way we greeted us was a bit retro.
We were very unaccustomed to the way Zong Xiaocun greeted each other, so we all smiled.
"Let's go." The gang leader knows about Zong Xiaocun.
Zong Xiaocun took us out of the station and got on the bus, on the bus, the three of us all stretched our necks to look out, and Xiaocun chatted with the gang leader for a few words, so I didn't say much.
After walking more than a dozen stops, I got off.
Zong Xiaocun took us to wait for the bus at the bus stop again, and my motion sickness came up again, so I asked him: "How far is it to get there, can we walk?" I get motion sickness. ”
"Two stops, let's go." Zong Xiaocun smiled at me.
As I walked, I felt much more comfortable, and then I was in the mood to look at the streets and pavilions along the way, the customs and customs, which were a little more prosperous, a little cleaner, and a little more Mandarin, but that's all.
After walking on the street for more than 20 minutes, Zong Xiaocun took us into an alley and walked inside.
After walking for a while, Ning Hongyan and the three of us all looked at each other, is this the capital? There are also bungalows in the capital!?
Not only the bungalows, but they look more dilapidated than some of the bungalows in our village, the bricks are exposed in front of the door, and there is grass growing on the roof, and the people who come in and out are no different from those in our village.
There are also shops along the street, selling buns, selling fritters, selling hardware, and selling groceries, which are no different from the big markets in our town.
It feels like I've been in a village.
After turning a few corners in the alley, in front of a family, Zong Xiaocun took us inside, and greeted: "Dad, people are coming, Dad?" ”
When we walked into the courtyard, an uncle in a sweatshirt, big pants, and slippers came out of the hall, shaking a fan, and saw the leader of the gang very closely: "Brother, brother, I can look forward to you, come into the house, come into the house." ”
The gang leader took it into the house, and when he arrived in the hall, the uncle made tea, and Zong Xiaocun came out with a watermelon, chatting while eating.
It's basically an uncle talking to the gang leader.
"How's this trip, okay?" The uncle asked as if chatting about home.
"Okay." The gang leader smiled slightly: "Bring back two pieces, this time into the mountain, thanks to them." ”
"Oh." The uncle turned his head to look at me and the third brother, and there was a little strangeness in his eyes: "The young man is promising, the two little brothers have some means, right?" ”
"He has practiced martial arts, and I ...... "I didn't think about whether I wanted to tell the yin and yang eyes."
"This is Zhu Jianfeng, the third child, a body of kung fu, is a good hand, this is the horse side, the fourth, born with yin and yang eyes, is a capable person, this is my daughter." The gang leader introduced us: "This is the head of the Jishimen, Zonghe, your elder. ”
"Uncle Zong......" all three of us shouted.
"How can I be considered an elder, you are all capable people who go to the moon for nine days and catch turtles in the five oceans, I am an idler who stays at home, and in the future, I have to rely on your help!" Zonghe's words were very polite, but there was also a suspicion of routines.
"Hehe......" the gang leader smiled.
"Come, eat watermelon, eat watermelon......" Zong Xiaocun cut the watermelon and handed it to the three of us, but he didn't hand it to the gang leader, who drank tea.
After sitting for a while, Zong He stood up: "I'm ready for the house, I'll take you to see it, you guys have taken the train all night, clean up, and rest and rest." ”
Zong He took us to the courtyard next to us, but Zong Xiaocun didn't follow: "Dad, there are still some popsicles left in our entrance, I'll go and dump it." ”
"Well, there you go." Zonghe almost greeted us.
Popsicles? It's ice cream, dare to love, these two are still doing small business!
"Xiaocun, where are you going to sell popsicles?" I learned their tone and asked, by no means in Mandarin.
"Go to the front door, what's the matter, let's go and have a look?" Zong Xiaocun is talkative, and he was held back on the way here, and at this moment, he couldn't stop it.
Front door?
The first time I came to the capital, I didn't know what the front gate was, I just thought that there were many old places in the capital, and the front door was equivalent to the entrance of the village: "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”
As I spoke, I looked at the gang leader, and it was more in someone else's house, so I don't know the rules.
The gang leader was very kind: "Go, you all go and see." ”
The gang leader followed Zong He to the courtyard, and the three of us followed Zong Xiaocun to sell popsicles. Zong Xiaocun first went to the cold storage next door and carried a box of popsicles, came out, and introduced us as he walked. This guy's mouth is slippery, but not broken, more than the average tour guide would say.
Only then did we know that the capital is really a place where the dragon and the tiger are hidden, and in such an inconspicuous small bungalow area, there are the former site of the Huguang Guild Hall, the former residence of Ji Xiaolan, the Qinghua Pool, and there are many places that can be named......
And the front door that Zong Xiaocun said is tiananmen, and when he went, he also passed by Quanjude and some other places.
Walking and walking, as soon as we looked up, we saw the Qianmen Square, this side is the Memorial Hall, and the Dragon Boat Festival Gate is there.
All three of us wanted to run over to have a look, but Zong Xiaocun stopped.
"Go and see, just don't go far." Zong Xiaocun could see at a glance that we wanted to go over.
The three of us ran over cautiously, ran to the square, looked at the flagpole of the national flag, looked at the heavy and sacred city gate, looked at the grandfather in the memorial hall, looked at the buildings and crowds hidden around, and had to sigh, the capital is the capital, the heart of our motherland!
The three of us wandered around the front door for a while, reluctant to leave, knowing that Zongxiaocun had run out of popsicles and called us home.
We went to the place where we lived first, it was also a small courtyard, there were a lot of rooms, but the area was small, the furnishings inside were good, and there was air conditioning, the four of us lived in the front house, and the backyard opened a cubicle, and lived a painter.
Painter...... For us at that time, it was a legendary figure.
Lunch was eaten outside by the two grandfathers of the Zong family, and the meal was simple but exquisite.
In the afternoon, we didn't go out, we rested in the house for a while, and then walked around the alley, which is a good place.
In the evening, the village bought food outside, and we ate at home, and after eating, six people sat down in the hall and helped the leader take out what we had brought.
When the two masters of the Zong family opened the bag, their eyes lit up, and the eyes of us were different, you are all real heroes!
