Chapter 166: Tanggu Port after Reconstruction
"Now our country has carried out a 20-year project to rebuild the structure, and all the real estate developers have been mobilized, they will evaluate the existing buildings, and the buildings that cannot stop the full force of the third-order evolutionaries will be demolished and rebuilt except for the cultural relics."
The police chief was very talkative and told Meng Qingxiao some information related to his family.
"The strength of the evolutionaries is getting stronger and stronger, the previous buildings can no longer withstand their ravages, and some people can knock down a building with one punch, so the country has no choice but to rebuild."
"Speaking of which, this is thanks to your sister, if it weren't for your sister reminding her on the TV show, the country would not have this project."
"Your family, as the hero of our strong Han Kingdom, was the first to live in Taihe Garden, including Su Chen and Bai Shuhao, who are also neighbors of your family, and they are all related to each other."
The police chief laughed, "I won't go into details about these situations, you will naturally understand when you go back." ”
"Taihe Garden is in Tanggu Port, it is a seaside villa park, very beautiful, it has now become the ideal paradise for many people in our country, many scientists are sharpened and want to live in it, it is more popular than the previous Qiongyuan Garden, hahahaha."
"I took the initiative to send you home this time, in fact, I also have selfish intentions, because I am only famous for Taihe Garden, but I have never been in, and I am also very curious, I want to go in and visit."
Meng Qingxiao smiled and said, "Then you are welcome to come to my house as a guest." ”
Meng Qingxiao asked the police chief about his family's situation again, but unfortunately the police chief didn't know much, but he heard that his parents' health was not very good, and they had already retired at home and could no longer work.
Meng Qingxiao felt very guilty in his heart, he had been away from home for many years, which made his parents suffer too much.
Finally came to Tanggu Port, Meng Qingxiao looked out from the car and was very shocked by everything in front of him.
He has been to Tanggu Port, he went to sea to Europa, it was from the port here, Tanggu Port at that time, there was no characteristic, it was just a modern large port, but now, everything in front of him has changed.
The harbor is faintly visible, and there are landmarks there, even if they are far away, as long as the view is open, you can still find them.
Taihe Garden is not too far from the port, about 2200~2500 meters, moistened by the star power, it has become a paradise for plants, Meng Qingxiao saw a ginkgo forest.
Known as the giant panda of the plant kingdom, this plant is a living fossil-level species that has been around since the Carboniferous period 350 million years ago.
They have a long growth cycle, especially in the initial growth stage, and it takes many years for a seed to grow into a small sapling, and naturally grown ginkgo trees often take 20 years to bear fruit.
But Meng Qingxiao saw a forest of ginkgo biloba, each of which was more than ten meters tall.
"When was this planted?" Meng Qingxiao was stunned.
"In the last few years." The police chief replied, "I haven't seen it before." ”
"Transplanted?"
"Hehe, I don't know much about this."
Walking through the ginkgo forest, the front suddenly opened up, there were no tall trees, but there was a large grassland, but it was winter, the grass and trees were withered, and there was not much green to be seen.
To Meng Qingxiao's surprise, there were many wild beasts living on the grassland, including deer creatures that he couldn't distinguish breeds, as well as yellow sheep and bison, and even large carnivores, all of which were extremely tall because of the nourishment of star power.
Meng Qingxiao said in surprise: "Is this a safari park?" ”
The police chief explained: "These are domesticated pets by humans, and they are all injected with the second generation of red. ”
"I still see lions and wild leopards, is it proper to keep them with these herbivores?"
"Hehe, that can't be helped, they can't be starved, they are usually allowed to hunt, but there are often caretakers who come to feed some livestock."
The police chief thought for a while and said: "Now it's like this all over the country, everyone will keep their adopted pets outside the city, but there are still a few who can afford to adopt wild animals, because they need to pay a high fee every year, which is more expensive than buying a car." ”
Meng Qingxiao was curious: "It's just a beast, what else do you need to pay?" ”
"The main thing is accident insurance, and then there is the management fee, they are beasts after all, difficult to restrain them, have a certain degree of danger, are very destructive, and it is easy to cause damage to public facilities, and it will also be dangerous to other people, so they need to buy insurance to repay the various losses they cause."
"Oh, I didn't expect that." Meng Qingxiao thought for a while and said, "Then if a lion eats someone else's antelope, how can this be counted?" ”
"You need to pay compensation according to the price, and you will have to bear legal responsibility in case you hurt someone."
"Then who would dare to raise them?"
"There are still people who raise them, but there are a lot less, and now the government does not encourage everyone to domesticate carnivorous beasts, because it has brought a lot of trouble to the governance around the city, unless you are willing to stay away from the city and go to the countryside to live, then you can raise it casually, and if you waste some crops, you are willing to compensate."
"That's right." Meng Qingxiao was thoughtful, and he suddenly smiled, "I almost forgot, I still have a blue peacock, which has always been free-range, and I don't know where it went." ”
The police chief laughed, "Your bird is a big star now, and your wife has to pay a lot of accident insurance premiums to it every year, because it is so destructive that the insurance company increases the premium year by year." ”
"What can it do?" Meng Qingxiao felt incredible.
"It haunts the city all day long, and every time it's a mount that preys on someone else."
"This guy." Meng Qingxiao was speechless.
"Hehe, many people say that if it weren't for your wife's deep love for you, I'm afraid that the bird would have been killed a long time ago, and someone helped your wife calculate a cost, which will cost your family at least 350,000 yuan every year, such a huge expense, and any other family can't stand it."
"I can't stand it either." Meng Qingxiao smiled bitterly, "My salary is not that high, my salary in the army plus the salary I receive in the coalition government only adds up to 200,000 a year, and I haven't been home for many years, so these salaries are definitely gone." ”
Meng Qingxiao didn't expect that his wife would bear so much for him.
He knows that Lu Caishi's salary is very high, after all, he is a double doctor, and he is in the aerospace field, which is a project vigorously supported by the state, but no matter how high the salary is, he can't stand her tossing so much, and he has to spend 350,000 yuan a year to feed a bird, which is simply too extravagant.
The most annoying thing is not that Lu Caishi is willing to spend so much money, the most infuriating thing is the object of her spending, it is a white-eyed wolf, the blue peacock will definitely not be grateful to her, and the beast will not even know that someone has paid so much for it.
The car soon drove into a green area, where many evergreens were planted, and they were not potted plants, all planted on the ground, covering a very wide area, and from a distance, it seemed to surround the entire building.
In the green area, it is the Taihe Garden, the periphery is higher, Meng Qingxiao saw a huge statue standing in the square at the entrance of the park from a distance, that is the founding head of the country, the great man of the strong Han country.
Outside the statue is a flower garden with a variety of flowers that bloom throughout the four seasons.
Special police soldiers on duty can be seen in the square, as well as many women and elderly people playing with their children, and there is a circle of benches around the square for people to rest.
Meng Qingxiao's eyes were good, he saw familiar people, his parents were all in the square, his father was sitting on a chair, smiling and looking at a few children, from time to time with his fingers, his mother chatted with another strange eldest sister, occasionally pulling up a child who had fallen because she was running too fast from the ground, and patting the dirt that did not exist on her body.
They looked even older than before, and Meng Qingxiao's eyes involuntarily moistened.
The car was stopped before it could get close to the square, and unreported foreign vehicles were not allowed to enter, and could only park in the parking lot on the inside of the green belt.
Meng Qingxiao invited the police chief to go in with him, but was refused, the director temporarily changed his mind and didn't want to stay here anymore, no matter how much Meng Qingxiao tried to keep him, Meng Qingxiao had to let him go after thanking him.
Meng Qingxiao wanted to enter the park, but he was also stopped because there was a barrier, and he didn't have an access card.
The gate guard was wearing a security uniform, and asked him very politely about the reason for his visit, because Meng Qingxiao's face was very familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a while, the one behind Meng Qingxiao was wrapped in a sheet, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and the giant more than two meters tall made him even more vigilant.
"Go home." Meng Qingxiao replied.
"Are you Meng Qingxiao?" The doorman finally remembered the name of the man in front of him and exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm Meng Qingxiao." Meng Qingxiao smiled and nodded.
"Welcome home!"
The gatekeeper was so excited that he finally saw the legendary figure, but he was very competent and still asked who Tatila was.
"This is an alien friend of mine, who doesn't look like an earthling, and I was afraid of scaring people, so I asked her to cover her face."
Meng Qingxiao motioned in the language of the Eternals for Tatila to show his face.
The gate post was not frightened, there are not many earthlings who have not seen aliens now, even if they have not seen real people, it is not difficult to find alien photos on the Internet, although they are all terrestrials, but there is one more alien from other planets, it seems that it is not worth making a fuss.
He obviously had some concerns, and he didn't let his guard down at all because Meng Qingxiao was a celebrity, worried that it would be dangerous to let such an alien in.
Meng Qingxiao discussed with Tatila, wanting her to wait outside for a while, and then come to pick her up after he met his parents.
At this moment, the doorman had already called their foreman with a walkie-talkie, and he thought it would be better to let the foreman come over to deal with it, because even if an alien was to wait at the door, it would be very troublesome.
"Chief, please wait a minute, our foreman will be here soon."
"Okay, no rush." Meng Qingxiao felt that something was wrong, and it took a while to react, and asked, "Are you a soldier?" ”
"Yes, the security guards in our park are all active soldiers." "We're a service post, and we're soldiers in SWAT uniforms, and they're patrol posts." ”
"Oh." Meng Qingxiao was stunned, and said in his heart No wonder he called me chief, and only the soldiers of the Qianghan Kingdom would call me that.
