Chapter 95 Gancheng
Chapter 95
Gancheng is known as the city of 'materialized treasures and outstanding people'.
On the fifth day of the second lunar month, the West Passenger Station.
Xu Lei got off the bus, looked at the familiar and unfamiliar city in front of him, and sighed. When I came back from this city three years ago, I didn't seem to have left any mark here, except for a few friends.
In the four years of college, because of financial constraints, I rarely went out to play, and I have been going around around the school, and at most I have visited the 'Tengwang Pavilion' with my girlfriend a few times. I thought I wouldn't wave goodbye, but I didn't think I would come back to this city of Ganshui.
Xu Lei tightened the backpack in his hand and walked onto the bus stop. Before I came, I got in touch with a classmate and settled down with him for the time being.
Originally, he planned to find a larger store in his hometown of 'Gongmi' and open a high-end restaurant. After all, his specialties are already somewhat famous, and he doesn't have to worry about losing money when he opens them.
Who knew that since the beginning of the year, the county has started to renovate the sewers. The streets are full of potholes, fences have been erected in many places, and traffic is very difficult, and there are no pedestrians at all. The businesses on the street are full of mourning, and business is very bleak.
Xu Lei stayed in the city for a few days, went to several restaurants to eat, and found that there were really no people. I asked the surrounding merchants how long it would take? They said it would take at least half a year.
Damn! Half a year's rent is in vain, how can Xu Lei's net worth be afforded!
...............
The construction of the road has something to do with the flooding in the city last year. In June, it rained heavily for several days, and the old sewer system was overwhelmed and could not drain water, and most of the entire Gongmi county was flooded.
It is close to the Gan River, and there is a lot of water. After a continuous rainstorm, the water on the street was not more than half knee-high, and it was extremely inconvenient for the citizens to enter and exit, and the school also suspended classes for several days in a row, causing the masses to complain.
This year, the county has made up its mind. After obtaining the support of the city, the leadership decided to expand and renovate all the sewers in the city, and the economic impact of this short period of time was not taken into account.
In desperation, Xu Lei had to find another place. Thinking about it, instead of going to a strange place, it is better to come to Gancheng.
It is the capital of Jiangxi Province and has a developed economy. Xu Lei has lived and studied here, although he is not very familiar with it, but he has a lot of classmates and friends, at least he does not have to worry about the problem of where he settles.
With 50,000 yuan in his hand, Xu Lei went to the mouse to bring the things he bought from the system and took a long-distance bus here.
It took more than three hours to set off at 9 o'clock in the morning, and arrived in Gancheng at about one o'clock.
..................
The 19th bus came.
Xu Lei took his backpack and got into the car, threw two coins, and picked up a window seat and sat down.
Gancheng is becoming more and more developed. Although it is not ranked in China, in today's increasingly developing China, even a second- and third-tier city still seems to be very prosperous. The first airplane, the first motorcycle and the first tractor were manufactured here, and it has a good modern advanced manufacturing base. Now it is a high-rise building, the transportation is convenient, and there are several subways running underground.
Last year, Gancheng was also selected as one of the top ten youngest cities in China.
........................
After more than a dozen stop signs, Xu Lei arrived at his destination: Ganzhou Biotechnology Vocational College, a three-college college.
Xu Lei got out of the car, took out his mobile phone and dialed a call, and the ringtone rang a few times before it was connected.
"Is it here?" asked the other end of the line.
"yes. Just arrived at the school gate, the rural farmhouse restaurant here. Xu Lei glanced at the storefront sign on the side of the road and replied.
"Wait, buddy will come over right away. "The one who spoke was Xu Lei's brother in a dormitory when he was in college, his name was Sun Sicheng, he was more lively and very capable of doing things, and he had a good relationship with Xu Lei. After graduating from college, I don't know what path I went, but I stayed in school, and I envied the group of difficult brothers in the same dormitory!
Xu Lei stood on the street and waited for about ten minutes. A black Volkswagen drove up in the distance and stopped in front of him.
Sun Sicheng opened the car door and walked out, dressed in a suit and leather collar, which looked a bit like a successful person. He affectionately lifted the backpack in Xu Lei's hand and said with a smile: "Heh! Fourth, I haven't seen you for a few years and it's still the same." ”
"Third brother, you haven't changed much, you're just a little more energetic. "Old friends are reunited, Xu Lei is very happy.
"Let's go, go to where I live and put my things down. Sun Sicheng put Xu Lei's backpack into the trunk, turned his head and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" ”
"Okay..."Xu Lei opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
............
Because of his work at the school, Sun Sicheng's rented place is not far from here, and he just turns two streets to get there.
Honghua Community, just a few years after construction, the environment is very clean and tidy, Sun Sicheng rents 11 buildings C unit 603. The rent is 5000+ per month, which is shared by him and another roommate.
When you enter the door, you can see that the two-bedroom apartment is very well decorated.
Sun Sicheng opened the door of the room on the left, carried things in, and jokingly said to Xu Lei: "Fourth, we have to sleep in the same room again!"
There is a large bed in the room, which is big enough for two people. It's just not cleaned up, it's a bit of a mess.
After putting the things away, the two went out the door.
Xu Lei asked him: "Third brother, are you still single, why haven't you found a girlfriend with such good conditions?"
Sun Sicheng spread his hands and said: "I can't afford to raise it! With a salary of six or seven thousand yuan a month, there are only three melons and two dates left after deducting food and rent." I'm still thinking about becoming a regular, and the school leaders can't say anything about it, how can they have spare money to talk about girlfriends. Shaking his head, he continued helplessly: "It's not that you don't know the girls now, who will follow you if you don't have a house or money! The fourth child is not afraid of your jokes, don't look at my job is quite beautiful, in fact, there is really not much future." Just our three colleges, there is not much money in a year, and companies of higher grades can't look down on us, how can there be any oil and water!"
He waved his hand to stop Xu Lei from speaking, and said embarrassedly: "Originally, my brother came here for the first time, and my brother has to pick you up and wash the dust." But we don't have enough money on hand, and we have to wait for the salary to be paid on the 10th, brother, I can only take you to the discounted cafeteria to eat. When the salary is paid, brother, I will treat you to a good meal. ”
"What did the third brother say, I'm glad I could settle down with you. Xu Lei pretended to be unhappy and said: "Our brothers and brothers, why are you talking so politely." If you say that again, I'll immediately take my bag and leave......"
Sun Sicheng hugged Xu Lei's arm and said with a smile: "Heh... I'm not afraid that brother, you blame me? Alright, alright, no more... But seriously, the restaurant tastes okay, at least it's much better than what we used to eat in the cafeteria. ”
