My 1979

The Bund was crowded with people, the lights were bright, the broad Huangpu River slowly flowed by, and the peculiar styles of various foreign buildings appeared in front of them. Pan Ying said, "It's different from last year."

"Because of the World Expo, Nos. 1 to 33 of the Bund here have undergone comprehensive renovations," She Ziling, a tour guide, explained with a smile. "It took two years to complete, and it only took a few months to complete."

"What university did you study in Hong Kong?" He Zhou couldn't tell what accent she had. "Your Mandarin is very good."

"I studied architecture at Tongji." Her mother is a real estate tycoon, so She Ziling naturally chose architecture as her major. Moreover, Wu Shuping has been in Pujiang all year round, so it is normal for her to choose to come here to study. She carried her back and leaned against Said on the guardrail, "When I first came to the mainland, my Mandarin was very poor and I was easily laughed at. But with the help of my classmates and teachers, I slowly made progress."

"Shall we go on a cruise?" Liu Shan deliberately kept a distance from She Ziling. It was not that he couldn't smell a little fragrance. In moderate circumstances, it was fine for him, and it was usually harmless.

But She Ziling was probably unable to accept it because the shampoo had a particularly strong fragrance.

"I want to play too." Li Ke fell in love with the cruise ship traveling in the river and the magnificent scenery on both sides of the Pujiang River.

"Are you sure you are all going?" She Ziling picked up the phone, "I'll call and make arrangements now."

"Agreed." Li Lan smiled, and the others nodded in agreement.

After She Ziling hung up the phone, she waved her hand and said, "Let's take the ferry to the other side first, and then board the cruise ship at Xinhua Pier."

Li Lan walked in front, bought the ferry tickets at the ticket window, and then gave each person a round green card.

The ferry is under a tunnel. During the World Expo, there were many people and it was very noisy.

"Be careful when you get on the boat. Don't get hurt." Li Ke shouted loudly.

The ferry docked. After the passengers on it had finished, the entrance to the station opened. With a roar, people rushed towards the ferry to get a good seat first.

Li Lan and others did not follow the crowd, but deliberately lagged behind. When they boarded the ship, the entire second floor was densely packed with people. Not only did there be no place to sit in the cabin, there was no place to stand on the deck.

Amid the noise and the sound of the whistle, the ferry docked and a group of people followed the flow of people ashore.

We walked to Xinhua Pier and boarded the cruise ship that had been waiting here for a long time.

"Is this your private yacht?" Pan Ying asked curiously.

"No, this belongs to the yacht company, but my mother happens to be the major shareholder." She Ziling took the drinks from the waiter's tray and delivered them to everyone one by one, "You're welcome, we won't go home until we're drunk tonight."

People were taking pictures, people were drinking, and the commotion continued until ten o'clock in the evening.

When everyone was about to break up, She Ziling suddenly said, "My house is nearby, why don't you go to my house to sleep at night?"

She is very enthusiastic.

When she came out this time, she was responsible for maintaining social relations for her family and her mother. She was the second generation, but the people in front of her were the more famous second generation.

"No, see you tomorrow." Li Lan was worried about Li Zhaokun and couldn't leave Li Zhaokun alone in the hotel.

Li Zhaokun was standing on the curb in front of the hotel chatting with an old sanitation man wearing a yellow vest. He talked about the farmers in the field, the children, and then the income and expenses. The more he talked, the happier he became.

"Together, you and I can earn 5,000 yuan a month, which will cost you 300 yuan for room expenses, 500 yuan for food and drink, and mobile phone expenses, and 200 yuan for other miscellaneous things." Li Zhaokun helped the other party calculate with his fingers. "How much can we earn in this month?" 4,000 yuan, which is only 50,000 yuan a year, which is incredible."

"Where are they?" The old man held a big broom in his hand, looked around, and then said, "There are really so many, I'm lucky.

We are not a small family and have many favors. We need three to four thousand yuan a year to go out. And during the Chinese New Year, we need more than ten thousand yuan every year.

Our two sons, the eldest son, go to school and have a heavy burden. We have to provide tens of thousands of dollars a year.

My younger son has just graduated from college and has not yet started a family. He earns more than 3,000 yuan a month and cannot save money. He is not successful. "

"You're not married? That's a heavy burden," Li Zhaokun raised his voice and gestured, "One hundred thousand! Without one hundred thousand, your wife can't get in."

"Who says it isn't?" When Li Zhaokun said this, the old man became even more worried.

"Then my grandson, my granddaughter." Li Zhaokun saw Li Lan and Li Ke getting out of the car. He stopped talking to the old man and greeted him, "Why don't you guys play a little longer?"

"I'm not worried about you." Li Ke held his arm and said coquettishly, "How are you? Is it hot?"

"well enough."

"Will we take you out to play tomorrow?" They only visited one of the Expo's venues. Li Ke continued, "There are so many venues. Let's visit them one by one."

"No, if you want to play, you can go and have fun. I'll take a stroll by myself." If it weren't for the fear of losing the interest of his granddaughter and grandson, he would have wanted to go home tomorrow. Staying here would be empty-hearted and uncomfortable.

He regretted it and shouldn't have gone to such trouble.

Li Zhaokun didn't want to go out, and neither did Li Lan and Li Ke.

They could only spend more time with Li Zhaokun in the hotel.

"You go out and play, don't worry about me," Li Lan said feeling a little guilty towards He Zhou, "I can't affect you."

"Am I the only one?"

Li Lan and his brother stayed in the hotel and couldn't get out, Liu Shan went to find his classmates, and Pan Ying went to an event on behalf of her father.

Only He Zhou was alone and had nowhere to go.

Li Ke said, "What's wrong with you being alone? I'd rather be alone. I can go wherever I want and play however I want."

"Okay." He Zhou thought for a while and said, "I'll go to the old alley to have a look."

"That's okay." Li Lan threw the car keys to him and said, "Drive."

He Zhou drove the car, listening to music, aimlessly passing through traffic lights one after another. When he looked up and saw a bookstore in front of him, he simply parked the car on the side of the road.

After getting off the car, I stood on the sidewalk, ready to finish smoking a cigarette before going in, but as soon as I lit my cigarette, I heard a bang.

A pedal tricycle hit the door from the side.

A middle-aged man got off the tricycle with a look of horror on his face. When he saw the scratches on the door and the people surrounding him, he was trembling all over and at a loss what to do.

"Do you have money to compensate?" He Zhou asked the middle-aged man.

"No money." The middle-aged man shook his head with indescribable bitterness.

"If you can't afford the compensation, why don't you run away quickly." He Zhou waved his hand towards him, "Otherwise, they will come back and really cause trouble for you."

"Hey" the middle-aged man hurried away with a tricycle full of cement.

Looking at the scratched car, He Zhou smiled bitterly.

The car belongs to Li Zhaokun.
