The Era of Hard Work

The newly opened Qingzhao Railway Station has been moved out of the urban area, and is located between Qingzhao District and University City, adding a lot of traffic convenience to the two major population centers.

Lu Dong drove a Buick business, came to the parking lot in front of the station to park, got off the car and walked towards the station hall with Hu Chunlan.

Because the new station has just opened, Hu Chunlan came here for the first time, looked over there and said, "It's much more beautiful than the old station."

Lu Dong knew a little bit about it, so he said, "The district specially looks for designers to design."

In terms of infrastructure, there has always been a lot of investment here. It is hard to say about other places. As far as Taidong is concerned, in recent years, the traffic conditions have been greatly improved. The railway network and road network are dense, and travel and transportation are very convenient.

The new station is naturally very beautiful, it is not comparable to the old station that was drafty and leaky, and even the glass was shattered countless pieces.

The design of this station is derived from the shape of "ink spring gushing", one of the pillars of Qingzhao Cultural Tourism. The arched station hall in the center reflects the image of gushing spring water. The shape of the "arch" also implies that Qingzhao Station is the five lakes and the West Sea. Entering the portal of Qingzhao, the two wings of the station slowly unfold and tilt up, showing the rapid development of Qingzhao.

Qingzhao is a city based on cultural tourism, and the houses built by ordinary companies cannot be managed, but the public buildings invested in the district must fit Qingzhao's positioning as a famous cultural and tourism city.

Lu Dong walked into the station first, and the interior decoration continued the streamlined style of the exterior, injecting water ripple elements into it, emphasizing Qingzhao's spring water culture.

Thanks to the current popularity of Qingzhao Cultural Tourism, even if it is a county-level station, after the opening of the new Qingzhao Station, it will send more than 30,000 passengers per day, and it can be close to 100,000 during the busiest holidays.

The heat and economic activity of a place can be seen from the train station.

Hu Chunlan came near the exit and looked at the electronic screen: "The station is still 15 minutes away. I'll call your uncle."

There were a lot of people picking up the station, and the nearby benches were all full. Lu Dong stood in a place that could be seen as soon as he got out of the station, and Hu Chunlan came to make a call.

As for my uncle, although he has made many phone calls in the past two years, Lu Dong's impression of the person's appearance is somewhat vague at first glance.

My uncle Hu Chunyang left home to join the army when he was young, and stayed in the border defense for nearly 20 years. Later, Tigan became a family there. At the beginning, he would occasionally come back to visit relatives, because the uncle and sister-in-law are really amazing people. It was unbearable and rarely came back in the last ten years.

The last time I came back was in 1997.

After standing and waiting for about ten minutes, the announcement of the arrival of the train sounded, and both Lu Dong and Hu Chunlan looked inside the station.

Soon, crowds poured out, and the station exit was also a bit chaotic.

But compared to the old station, the order of the new station is much better.

The district has been cracking down on taxis and black taxis since the beginning of this year. Although the number of the latter is much less, it is impossible for them to disappear.

Regardless of taxi drivers or sneaky black car drivers, they are now not allowed to enter the station to solicit passengers. Once caught, they will be severely fined.

The station has always been a difficult point. It is impossible to say that the rectification is 100% compliant.

"Here we come! We're here!" Hu Chunlan waved excitedly inside the station: "Dongzi, hurry up and pick up your luggage, I saw your uncle and your little sister-in-law! They saw us too! Just the two who waved." people!"

Lu Dong also saw it. The three of them were dragging large suitcases in their hands. One of them was a middle-aged couple in their forties. They had an impression of the man, and at a glance they recognized him as my brother-in-law.

My uncle is quite tall, more than 1.8 meters, wearing a dark blue collared half-sleeve T-shirt, his appearance is somewhat similar to his mother, he walks like Lu Chun, and his waist is very straight.

The little concubine next to her was very fair, about 1.7 meters tall, with short hair that reached her ears, and she was very temperamental.

Behind the two of them was a young man of seventeen or eighteen, tall and strong, somewhat similar to Lu Dong in stature, with a pair of near-sighted glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Lu Dong called him, this is his cousin Hu Yan.

As soon as the three of them came out, Lu Dong went up to greet them immediately, and at the same time picked up the big suitcase dragged by the little sister-in-law.

Hu Chunyang looked at Lu Dong, and couldn't help but said, "You've grown up so much, the last time I came back, you were still a brat."

Lu Dong laughed: "Hu Yan is as tall as me."

Hu Chunlan was talking to the little concubine Tong Hong, and Lu Dong hurriedly said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go out first."

"Yes!" Hu Chunyang followed Lu Dong, "Go home first."

Five people left the station hall one after another. There was a long line of taxis parked near the exit. It was impossible to be particularly strict when leaving the hall. A driver came over immediately to do the work.

But it’s different from before. In the past, the driver grabbed the luggage directly, but now he just asks if he wants to take a taxi.

What these people like to attract most is foreigners.

"There is a car!" Lu Dong said casually, and sent him away.

Hearing this, it was still with a local accent, and the taxi drivers who surrounded him immediately dispersed.

The seven-seater Buick commercial vehicle can accommodate all luggage, and it is quite comfortable for five people to sit.

As soon as he got on the train, Hu Chunyang said, "Has the train station changed places?"

Lu Dong started the car and replied, "It was moved out of the city, and it was just opened this year."

Turning to the road, Hu Chunyang looked around curiously: "I can't recognize it, I can't even recognize it."

Hu Chunlan pointed it out to him: "Over there, have you seen the antique building? That's Luozhuang..."

Hu Yan answered at this time: "Is it the famous Luozhuang Han Tomb?"

"That's it." Hu Chunlan continued: "You don't know, this big tomb was first discovered by Dongzi."

When Hu Yan heard this, he became interested and asked, "Brother, is it true or not?"

Lu Dong smiled and said: "It's lucky, I met an acquaintance in Luozhuang selling gold pancakes, and I happened to have a friend who was doing archaeology at the provincial university, so I asked him to come over to have a look, and it turned out that it was a gold pancake from the Western Han Dynasty. , and reported it.”

"Why did you report it!" Hu Yan felt sorry for Lu Dong: "There are so many good things, brother, if you dig out one, you will be prosperous."

Tong Hong slapped him lightly: "Nonsense, what are you thinking in your head? That's against the law."

Xiao Jinzi is not a Han nationality, she speaks Mandarin fluently, but with a slightly stronger accent.

Hu Yan slapped his head: "I almost forgot, Brother Dong has such a big business, he doesn't care about these things."

Lu Dong made a joke on purpose: "I'm afraid to go in."

Everyone in the car laughed.

Gradually approaching the intersection of Luozhuang, when he got here, Hu Chunyang suddenly remembered: "Going north from here is Lujia Village."

He recalled the past: "When I was in junior high school, I rode my bicycle along this road every day to go to the town to attend junior high school."

It took only a few minutes to drive from Luozhuang intersection to Lujia Village. When he saw the towering Qianmen building in Lujia Village, Hu Chunyang's eyes were full of curiosity.

Looking at both sides, there is a large amusement park, a botanical garden, and the Ocean Polar World under construction.

"Your Lujia Village has become bigger and stronger!" Although Hu Chunyang has been away from home for many years, he grew up in this area after all. Many people still have memories of many things: "At the beginning of the year on the 7 o'clock news, I saw the leaders come to inspect , Seeing the leader talking to Lu Zhenlin and Dongzi, I couldn't believe my eyes."

Hu Yan pointed to the plaque on the Qianmen building: "Dad, look at it, there is an inscription written by the leader!"

Hu Chunyang said: "Your Lujia Village is really amazing."

Before turning from the south side of Qianmenlouzi, Lu Dong asked: "Uncle, concubine, do you want to come down and have a look?"

"Don't watch it now, go home first." Hu Chunyang is not in a hurry, he can stay for a while when he comes back this time: "There is plenty of time to turn later."

When the car turned, he said again: "Dongzi, you do a lot of business. In the border city where I stayed, your store has opened."

Lu Dong just smiled: "Uncle, you have to help me take care of it later."

Hu Yan joined in the fun: "I went back from summer vacation last month, and I invited my classmates to have a meal at Burger King." He has just finished a year of college, and he has a natural admiration for successful entrepreneurs: "Brother, you Starting from scratch, creating such a big business is really amazing, the economics department of our school even uses you and your company as a classic case to explain in class.”

What is the situation in the aunt's house? Hu Yan heard from his father that with such poor conditions, it is difficult for Lu Dong to admire the country's first-class catering company in the past few years.

When he came to the new village of Lujia Village and saw rows of neat villas, Hu Chunyang understood that Lujia Village is really different today.

After entering the house, they all sat in the living room, Lu Dong went to boil water to make tea, and Hu Chunlan talked with the uncle's family in the living room.

Seeing the portrait of Lu Jianjun in the middle of the living room, Hu Chunyang straightened his body and gave a military salute.

After talking a few words and talking about the place to live, the young concubine insisted on staying in a hotel.

The old houses in Majia Village have long belonged to the boss, and Hu Chunyang has no homestead here.

Hu Chunlan said: "My third son, it's not easy for you to come back. The house is spacious, so I live at home. If I catch up tomorrow, Dongzi will take you to look around. There have been great changes in the past two years."

Hu Chunyang hurriedly said: "Sister, we can just stay in a hotel, it's too troublesome to live at home."

There are three more people, there are many things, not only the sister is troublesome, but my family is used to living in Xijiang, the habits are different, and it is also awkward.

Lu Dong came from the kitchen with a teapot in his hand, and just as he was about to answer, Hu Chunyang said: "Before I came back, I informed the boss, you know what's going on with the boss, sister, the boss came to look for me, and Dongzi watched me. We are getting married soon, if he comes to the house to make trouble, it will be bad."

This is something that cannot be ignored.

The little lady also said, "Sister, let's find a hotel nearby to live in, and we can come over anytime."

Thinking of the elder brother's family, and thinking of the elder brother's coming back, the elder brother will definitely go to the third brother to have a good time, trying to get something out, Hu Chunlan said to Lu Dong: "Dongzi, you will arrange your uncle's residence."

"Don't!" Hu Chunyang said quickly, "Don't bother."

Lu Dong said, "Uncle, don't be polite to me, it's just a phone call."

In fact, he has already considered where his uncle's family will live when they come back, and made two-handed preparations. It is easy to talk about staying at home. If they live in a hotel, they will go to Girl Mountain Resort.

He not only booked a first-floor hotel there in advance, but also booked several holiday villas.
