Feeling that the train was getting slower and slower, many people on the train began to prepare to get off, and Chen Zian also asked a group of children to pack their luggage.
"Uncle, have we arrived in Licheng?" Su Xiaotian asked.
"Licheng has not yet opened a train. We are going to Rongcheng. Your time is short this time. Going to Licheng will waste a lot of time, so I won't take you there."
Su Xiaotian was a little disappointed. She actually just wanted to see if there were any business opportunities in Licheng now, but her uncle was right.
Their time this time was too short and they couldn't afford to waste it.
While he was talking, Su Shouwen and his brothers had gathered their luggage together and were carrying it in their hands to get off the bus.
Su Xiaotian wanted to help, but was stopped by several brothers.
Not only was Su Xiaotian empty-handed, but Amelia Su was also riding the train with two empty hands.
"A few brats, not bad!" Chen Zian said with a smile, holding his son in one hand and carrying his luggage in the other.
Following the crowd, the group quickly left the train station.
I have to say that the prosperity they saw after getting off the train really shocked this group of young people.
They thought that the capital city was prosperous enough, but Rongcheng was obviously much more prosperous than the capital city.
Su Xiaotian looked at it and actually felt disappointed. After all, she has never seen any prosperous cities in later generations. Even though Rongcheng has developed earlier than other cities, there is no comparison with later generations.
But for others, it was a shock.
"Uncle, are there so many people setting up stalls?" Su Xiaosi asked excitedly.
Even in the capital, stalls and other things are still being set up secretly. Who would have expected that things like this in Rongcheng would be so upright?
"It's still daytime. At night, the night market opens and there are more people." Chen Zian said with a smile.
Looking at Rongcheng, he was actually thinking, when will Licheng develop to such an extent?
If Licheng can develop like Rongcheng, he, the mayor, can be considered responsible.
Rongcheng is much hotter than the northwest. The brothers and sisters had already taken off their thick cotton-padded clothes when they got on the train, but it was still very hot.
After walking only a few steps, it was already extremely hot and I was sweating all over my forehead.
"Let's find a place to settle down first, and then I'll take you around for a while!" Chen Zian suggested.
They were so hot that they were thinking of finding a place to change clothes and wash off the dust from the journey, so they had no objection.
Su Manxiu and Chen Zian lived in Licheng and had no place to stay in Rongcheng, so they stayed in a guest house together.
There were more than a dozen people staying in the guest house, and there was a lot of movement. However, the people in the guest house seemed to be used to seeing them. They didn't even raise their eyelids. They only confirmed the identities of a few people and collected money to check in.
They opened a three-person room, one shared by Chen Zian, Su Taohua and Chen Xiuyuan.
Su Ciliang, Su Shouwen and Su Sangong were in the same room.
Su Laosan, Xiaogang and Xiaosi share a room.
The remaining two girls, Su Xiaomei and Su Xiaotian, live in a separate room.
The price of staying in the guest house for one night is not low, it costs three yuan.
Fortunately, the children all have some assets in their hands, so they don't feel too distressed.
Before Chen Zian came to Licheng, he spent some time in Rongcheng.
Therefore, I was fairly familiar with the situation in Rongcheng. After taking a rest and cleaning up, I took the people out to eat.
There were so many people, Chen Zian simply took them to a snack bar.
This snack bar has a small appearance and not many customers inside.
Chen Zian and the others sat at two tables and ordered rice rolls and Tingzi porridge.
Su Xiaotian has actually never been to Rongcheng in her entire life, but she has eaten Rongcheng's famous rice rolls.
But that was all a long time ago. Now, when I eat it again, I feel that it tastes much better than what I had in my previous life.
"This snack bar is good." Su Manxiu nodded with a smile.
Obviously, she is very familiar with local snacks. It is easy to taste whether they are authentic or not.
A few half-grown boys all ate very quickly.
"There is a friend of mine not far ahead. I will take you there and let him show you around. He knows Rongcheng better than I do."
After Chen Zian paid the bill, he hugged little boy Chen Xiuyuan and greeted everyone to set off.
Chen Zian led them around until they reached the door of a small courtyard. After knocking on the door, a boy in his twenties came out.
There was a bit of cunning in the young man's eyes, which showed that he was not inexperienced.
"Mayor Chen, why are you here?" After seeing that the person knocking on the door was Chen Zian, the young man shouted happily.
Didn’t Mayor Chen go home to celebrate the New Year? Why did he come back so soon?
"I have something to do, so I'm back. Mumu, this is a gift I brought from home for you brothers and sisters!" Chen Zian said, handing a bag to the young man.
The young man hurriedly declined: "Mayor Chen, why did you bring us something? It's so far away!"
"It's just a little specialty, don't dislike it. My sister-in-law knows that your current situation is good, but you can't dislike this little thing from us, right?"
Su Manxiu obviously knew Mumu, and he spoke very casually.
The young man named Mumu accepted the gift with a blushing face.
He thanked Chen Zian and his wife again and again.
"Mumu, these are my nephew, niece and third brother. They will stay in Rongcheng for a few days. I would like to ask you to help me accompany them around. Is that possible?"
Chen Zian briefly introduced it and asked what Mumu meant.
The young man was obviously surprised that Chen Zian would let him accompany his relatives.
Is that what he meant?
He felt that his guess might be wrong.
Mayor Chen is an official. If his family wants to do business, wouldn't Mayor Chen just need to approve a note?
Why go to such trouble to help yourself?
Although the market is now open and it is easy to make money, not everyone can make money by diving into the water.
The ones who really make big money are those who are capable and have the skills to get in-demand goods.
But Mayor Chen really wanted these children to do business.
Chen Zian nodded: "A few children want to try the water, but I don't trust them here alone, so I can only trouble you!"
Like other families, Chen Zian disdains making money through illegal and disciplinary practices.
He insists that currently, even if you take formal channels, you can still make money.
"Mayor Chen, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
After Mumu understood what Chen Zian meant, she immediately promised.
He is no longer what he was before, and he is now on a firm footing.
His ability to gain a firm foothold has something to do with Mayor Chen. This time, it is time for him to repay Mayor Chen.
Su Xiaotian and others obviously did not expect that Chen Zian would find a local snake to help them.
But this is really the best thing.
Several people got to know each other and started walking around that day.
Su Manxiu was very tired after riding the train for several days, so she went back to rest.
Due to his identity issues, Chen Zian also returned to the guest house to rest with his wife and children.
And a group of excited young people followed this young man named Mumu to run around for money.
