The next afternoon, when they met again, Sun Mei, who originally thought she had been thinking wildly all day, saw her brother who had troubled her all day and saw him standing on the roadside holding a bicycle.
Sun Mei couldn't help but be surprised.
"Huh? Where did you get your bicycle?"
Zhao Qihang smiled while pushing the bicycle.
"Ask a colleague at the company to borrow it, and I'll take you to that restaurant on a bicycle to try their butter black garlic beef cubes."
That dish is a Chinese dish made by the hotel chef according to Western methods. It tastes very good. In fact, there are many dishes in Ming Dynasty that incorporate Western methods. After all, civilizations will inevitably influence each other.
"Um,"
Sun Mei jumped onto the back seat of the bicycle with a smile on her face, and her hands naturally supported his waist.
As he kicked off his feet and walked forward, Zhao Qihang rang the bell, and amid the crisp sound of the bell, he said.
"Sit tight and let's go..."
Didn’t she say it’s cold to ride a bicycle in winter?
Why... Cheng An looked at Teacher Sun walking away, and one can imagine the sourness in his heart. Especially when he saw her leaning her head on the man's back and holding her hands on his waist. His heart felt so bad.
It shattered at this moment.
Sun Mei didn't care at all about what other people thought. Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, her head rested naturally on his back. When she breathed in his scent, Sun Mei's originally troubled thoughts suddenly became quiet.
Come down.
She enjoyed this moment very much, she just leaned on his back,
"Sister, are you cold?"
Hearing him ask herself this, Sun Mei said in a subtle and inaudible tone.
"It's been a long time since I've been on a bicycle, and I haven't been so close to a person for a long time. Although the weather is very cold, I feel so warm now."
When she said these words, her heart was in her throat, and even after she finished speaking, she was still cursing in her heart... You, what are you talking about!
"Sister, what did you say?"
Zhao Qihang didn't hear clearly what she was saying, and Sun Mei said with a blush on her face.
"No, it's nothing. Just be careful when riding. The ground is slippery and you don't fall."
"Sister, don't worry. If you fall, I'll be below to block you!"
"I know".
At this moment, Sun Mei felt warm in her heart, and she just leaned her head on his back.
But when she arrived at the hotel, she was a little nervous and was even embarrassed to look at Zhao Qihang. Although she had been deliberately looking elsewhere, she still found that he was different from usual, always looking like he had something on his mind, so she couldn't help but curiously asked
:
"What? What's on your mind?"
Looking at her pure and sweet smile and listening to her melodious voice, Zhao Qihang said.
"That's right, the director talked to me today and asked me to go to the coal mine next week."
Sun Mei's hand stopped, and after a while she said:
"To the coal mine? Where?"
"It's about three hundred kilometers away from here. Moyuhe Coal Mine, according to the company's regulations, you can take two weeks off every three weeks, but we can't see each other normally."
Zhao Qihang laughed a few times:
"You know, I only went to high school. Almost all my classmates at that time went to college or vocational school. What about me? I only went to high school. Although you can join a company after high school, you will definitely only be a low-level person, that is, in a company.
Only then will I have the opportunity to become a mid-level employee, but I must first go to the mines, so that I may have the opportunity in the future. People who graduate from school are very hard-working, so I want to work hard too."
Sun Mei lowered her head and said quietly:
"I know, but you work very hard,"
Suddenly, she smiled again.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's try Sun Er's ramen every day. You may not have tasted such authentic ramen in Nanhua..."
After saying that, she walked forward and turned around and smiled at Zhao Qihang.
"By the way, you have to come back every three weeks, right? When you come back next month, can you teach me how to ride a bicycle? I don't know how to ride a bicycle yet! Otherwise, I'll let you ride a bicycle.
The car took me around for fun. It has been several years since I came here, but I have never been out of the city!"
The girl looked at him with a sweet smile.
"Well, then I will ride with you every day, just like today."
Zhao Qihang looked at her pretty face. At this moment, he suddenly didn't want to leave. He just looked at her like this.
…
Early the next morning, outside the train station.
Sun Mei, who was wearing a fur coat, looked at Zhao Qihang and warned.
"You must take good care of yourself when you get to the mine."
Although she seemed to be smiling all over her face, only she knew the reluctance in her heart.
"Well, I know, sister, don't worry, I will be back in three weeks!"
"Okay, then I'll wait for you."
After reluctantly saying goodbye to Sun Mei, Zhao Qihang entered the train station. The train station was full of coal trains. Everything was dark. The same was true for the trains and the station, and even the people there were.
Dark.
Although the news of the discovery of gold deposits in the Yukon River in the Northwest Territories two years ago triggered a gold rush, attracting tens of thousands of gold miners to go to the Yukon River to pan for gold, the most important thing for the North Sea is
The industry is still coal mining.
Coal mine!
From the day the Ming Dynasty purchased the colony of British Columbia from Britain, the coal mining industry has become the mainstay of the Beihai Governorate. Every year, millions of tons of coal are transported from the inland by railway, loaded on ships in the North Sea, and even shipped to the sea.
There will be specialized large-tonnage clipper ships that will bypass the Strait of Magellan and transport coal directly to Nanhua, Yingtian and other places.
This is also the reason why mining companies can provide so many job opportunities. Because the highly developed coal mining industry really needs local talents. After all, those indentured laborers are just laborers.
When he arrived at the company's dedicated platform, there was already a train parked there. Unlike Pu Neng's freight train, two passenger carriages were attached to the rear of the train. The moment he carried his luggage and stepped into the carriage, Zhao Qihang felt a rush of excitement.
The heat wave came. Like the room, the heating in the carriage was very sufficient. He had long been accustomed to this. Heating was everywhere in Beihai. Ordinary people could not live without heating. As for ordinary houses, most of them were European style.
The hearth, after all, is full of forests on the North Sea and wood is readily available.
There were not many people in the carriage, except for a few passengers sitting near the windows. Most of them were reading books or writing something on notepads. Everyone seemed very busy.
These carriages are specially reserved for mining company employees. Every two to three weeks, they take the train to and from the coal mines and the North Sea. After all, most of the coal mines are in relatively remote places. There are not even formed areas near the coal mines.
Villages and towns. Many people commute between the two places for work and life.
Sitting on the comfortable soft seat, Zhao Qihang glanced at the coal train outside the window and muttered silently in his heart.

"Okay, I will have to travel between two places like this from now on."
Although he thought so in his heart, he was very satisfied with this job. After all, this was the best job he could find with his academic qualifications.
Even there, far away from the civilized world.
Looking at the black world outside the car window, he said to himself.
"Moyuhe Coal Mine, I don't know what it looks like there..."
