Chapter 318 Special Zone Under Construction (1/3)
Someone in the carriage scolded unhappily. On such a hot day, everyone stayed in the carriage and there was still no wind. Although the train was equipped with a small electric fan, but after a long time, it was all hot wind. The hotter the blowing, now let alone the sleepy people, almost all people want to get out of the car to get some air.
Li Hongwei pulled Mei Xiaoran off the train.
The passengers also got off the train one after another, staying on the platform to breathe.
Although the carriage can heat people to death, the small platform is still breezy, and it feels like autumn is coming, and the wind brings a refreshing coolness!
The summer was also very hot in those days, but it was not the same as the air pollution and global temperature rise in later generations. Even if the day is hotter, sooner or later, it will still be a bit cooler... Mei Xiaoran, who could never enjoy such weather again, is now again Realized it.
An hour later, the train to avoid finally passed by. The flight attendant urged everyone to get on the train, and the train began to set off again.
This night is really an unforgettable memory for Li Hongwei!
He still yearned to take the train before, but he really didn't expect to suffer so much by taking the train. Just sleeping makes him extremely uncomfortable.
Can only sit, not lie down, this night of tossing, waking up the next morning, the neck is stiff!
"Uncle, are you hungry, do you want to eat?"
Li Hongwei shook his head, and after sitting on the train for a long time, he didn't seem to have any appetite anymore, and he didn't feel hungry at all.
Fortunately, the train always stops and goes. Some people get on the train but some get off. The closer you get to Shenzhen, the more empty the carriages will be. Many people got off halfway, and not too many people got to the terminal.
By the afternoon of the next day, the carriage was much looser. At night, Li Hongwei could sleep with a three-seater alone.
But now it takes almost twenty hours to get to the place. This gives Li Hongwei the illusion that the road has never gone to the end. The train goes south, passing the village, passing the plain, passing the city, and walking. Passing the cave... It seems to stretch forward endlessly.
After eating a few instant noodles on the train, Li Hongwei is not so interested in instant noodles. He especially wants to eat vegetables and fruits. If there is a watermelon now, that would be great.
!
When stopping at a certain station, Li Hongwei saw someone pushing a trolley on the platform to sell watermelons, so he couldn’t help but buy half of them. Of course, the price was surprisingly expensive... Like them in Kangping County, at this time, watermelons were the cheapest. , A catty is the most expensive and only sells for five cents, but the platform sells for two cents! Just half a watermelon is almost two yuan, which is really expensive and scary!
But since I want to eat, the price is not a problem.
Li Hongwei also specially asked someone to cut it open for him. After getting it in the car, he placed it on the small table in front of him. He not only ate it by himself, but also gave it to the passengers next to him.
Some passengers are very reserved and refuse to eat, but some can't help but eat melons.
In this way, the originally silent carriage suddenly has vitality.
The middle-aged man who eats watermelon is about the same age as Mei Zhonghua, and his appearance is very typical of southerners, with dark skin, high cheekbones and short head.
He asked Li Hongwei why he went to Shenzhen in Southern Mandarin
Honestly, Li Hongwei said that he is now a jobless young man and cannot let his family support for nothing. He wants to see what business can be done in Shenzhen, and he wants to start a small business and learn how to do it.
Mei Xiaoran was still afraid that he was too real, so she couldn't help but knocked him lightly with her elbow to remind him not to talk nonsense.
But the middle-aged man was very interested when he heard it. He directly told Li Hongwei that his home is in Shenzhen. If he gets off the bus, he can take him around. If he wants to buy something, there are acquaintances who can help.
Li Hongwei was overjoyed when he heard that, and his mouth was very sweet, so he quickly gave the middle-aged two more watermelons to eat...
Through the conversation, Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaoran learned that the middle-aged man was called Yuan Liang, and they both yelled "Uncle Yuan."
By three or four o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, the train was considered to have entered the boundaries of Shenzhen, but it was still far from the urban area, passing several counties in the middle.
But now Li Hongwei's mood is already very excited. He is lying in front of the car window and constantly looking out, which really gives people a feeling of eagerness.
"Uncle, pay attention to your image."
Yuan Liang now knows the relationship between Li Hongwei and Mei Xiaoran, and can't help but praise, "Weizi, your niece is so kind to you!"
"Of course, you don't think we are about the same age, she is my nephew."
Li Hongwei also
She was quite proud. Ran Ran was really good to his little uncle. Otherwise, she wouldn't work hard and took him out this trip.
The train finally rushed into Shenzhen Station at about five o'clock, and all the people in the train were a little bit angry. Most people, like Li Hongwei, stayed in the carriage for two days and two nights, not to mention how uncomfortable it was!
Finally getting off the car, Li Hongwei took the bag in his hand, and took Mei Xiaoran out.
While on the train, Mei Xiaoran told Li Hongwei that the Shenzhen Railway Station is very messy, with a mixture of dragons and snakes. The most important thing is to prevent thieves. The thieves will put your clothes in the pockets when you are not paying attention. Cut it open and steal the money you carry. As for the handbags you carry, it is also the main target of the thieves, unless you carry the handbag easily, so that they feel that you are not carrying anything valuable at all, so that they will not attack you.
Li Hongwei firmly remembered these words. After getting off the car, the bags were casually carried in his hands, while Mei Xiaoran was holding a net bag. They basically finished eating all the food they bought before getting in the car. Now they are in the net bag. Just put a big enamel tea mug.
After leaving the train station, when Li Hongwei looked back, he realized that the Shenzhen train station was nothing but the same. It looked similar to the train station in Nanping, and it was also quite rudimentary, but the infrastructure was being built everywhere, which utterly disillusioned him.
The Shenzhen he imagined should not be like this!
Yuan Liang came over to say hello to them, "Weizi, you must come to me if you have a chance!" He actually wrote an address to Li Hongwei, and forced it into Li Hongwei's hands.
After saying goodbye to Yuan Liang, Mei Xiaoran waved his hand, "Let's go, let's go to Huaqiangbei!"
This is a landmark building in Shenzhen. It started construction in January 1981 and was completed in August 1982. In Mei Xiaoran’s memory, it is still about half a month away from completion, but around the electronic building, the main They are all sold electronic products, which is the purpose of their trip.
Li Hongwei was surprised. Mei Xiaoran didn't seem to come over either, which made her seem familiar with this one.
Mei Xiaoran was afraid of his suspicion, and said quickly, "I asked someone to inquire about it before I came, and they even showed me the map. You also know that I have a good memory and I won't get lost when I go out."
