After a long time, the girl finally walked out of her memory and pulled the suitcase towards the airport express train. She remembered that she took a taxi when she left here last time. After a few years, Omi has changed a lot, and there is an express train between the airport and the city.
Transportation, time and fares are all saved in half.
Forty minutes later, the girl arrived at one of the most luxurious hotels in Omi City, the Four Seasons Hotel. The front desk clerk had a professional smile on her face. Looking at her with a professional eye, this lady with outstanding temperament must be a Chinese American.
and so on.
Hearing the waiter's English greeting, the girl was stunned and took out her wallet. Under the transparent laminated layer was her previous ID card. She had a youthful face and innocent eyes. The name column read three words: Lan Huanxi.
She did not take out her ID card, but took out a blue-covered passport to check in.
The waiter was a little proud. She guessed correctly. It was indeed a guest holding an American passport. After entering her name, she discovered to her surprise that the guest had booked a presidential suite.
Because there are no VIPs of the corresponding level to check in, the presidential suite of the Four Seasons Hotel is closed all year round. Of course, daily cleaning is a must. The waiter immediately looked at the enemy and signaled his colleagues to notify the lobby manager with his eyes.
After a short while, the lobby manager wearing a golden key logo on his lapel came quickly with a smile on his face. He knew the inside story. The person who reserved the presidential suite was a delegation from the Russian oil oligarchs and the Baikal Oil and Gas Group. This young Chinese lady had an unknown identity.
It's easy to guess, just treat it according to the highest standards.
Lan Huanxi was escorted into the presidential suite. A woman and two men sitting on the sofa in the hotel lobby also put down their tablets and went upstairs. The woman was 1.8 meters tall and had Caucasian features.
She is a woman with an athletic build. The two men are both over 1.9 meters tall, with sturdy backs and cold eyes. They checked in an hour ago and both hold Russian passports.
Half an hour later, Huanxi changed her clothes and went out. The lobby manager had arranged a Mercedes-Benz S600 to pick up and drop off the distinguished guests, but the guests took an ordinary taxi and went straight to Tiezha Street.
Tiezha Street no longer exists, and has been replaced by an urban green space, with birds singing, flowers fragrant, green grass, and high-rise buildings in the distance looming in the haze. It is the CBD European Garden in the south of the city.
Huanxi felt lost. How many times he dreamed of returning to Sister Mei's cabin at midnight, and how many times he rehearsed the scene of reunion after a long separation in his mind. He never expected that the ending would be so cruel.
The bodyguard stood far away, not daring to disturb her thoughts. Huanxi stayed here for ten minutes and left silently.
The next stop in Huanxi was Pingchuan's hometown. She went straight to the Jinqiao wholesale market in Omi. There was a long-distance bus station there. The buses to Pingchuan departed every half hour. They were all privately contracted Jinlong, Daewoo and the like. Passengers brought
With the goods purchased from the wholesale market, huge woven bags were stuffed on the luggage rack and piled under the feet. The carriage was filled with the smell of cigarette smoke, body odor and various inexplicable smells.
Huanxi chose the last row of seats by the window. That year she graduated from high school and was impostered. Her future was bleak and her life was bleak. In order to help her family and maintain her younger brother's studies, the eighteen-year-old Huanxi followed Sister Mei to the city.
She worked part-time in a long-distance bus, and she took a long-distance bus like this, with a window seat in the last row. She remembered that when the long-distance bus drove into Omi City, her eyes were almost exhausted. There were rows of buildings, long queues of traffic, and bustling people.
Colorful crowds, this was the first time she saw what a big city looked like.
Nowadays, she has traveled to countless countries and cities, and met people of countless races, nationalities, and beliefs. The most profound impression is still when she first arrived in Omi. Everything is so unforgettable and unforgettable.
The long-distance bus started slowly. The fat, thick and black conductor stretched one arm out of the window and slapped the carriage and shouted: "Pingchuan is gone, Pingchuan is gone, there is a seat."
Someone waved to stop the car, the door opened, and a white woman jumped on the car with a graceful step. People in the car looked at this strange foreigner curiously, wondering why she would take such a car.
The woman, who was as strong as an ocean horse, bought a ticket and found a seat to sit down. She smelled very strong, body odor plus the smell of perfume, which made the people next to her grin and quickly light up a cigarette to fight off the poison.
The long-distance bus slowly drove out of the wholesale market, got on the overpass, and went straight to Pingchuan. Not long after leaving the city, two men stopped the bus on the side of the road. They had suits and jackets on their hands on a hot day. This is what long-distance buses do every day.
A must-select show. Anyone who travels frequently knows that these two are thieves.
The two thieves got into the car, looked around furtively, and soon settled on Huanxi. The thieves had poisonous eyes, and they could tell who was rich and who was not. The beauty sitting in the last row was dressed in
Although the brand of the clothes could not be seen, the quality was quite good, so the two of them tacitly squeezed to the last row and squeezed out a spot.
When thieves pickpocket, they usually take advantage of the passengers to take a nap or are absent-minded. Huanxi keeps looking out the window, with his bag next to him. A wallet and mobile phone are vaguely visible in the open bag. Just when one of them is about to take action, the prey suddenly
He turned around and shouted in a language they didn't understand.
The two thieves were confident, and the weak woman was so helpless that she couldn't steal and robbed them. Just when they were about to play rough, the big ocean horse squeezed over. Without saying a word, he raised his fist as big as a bowl and swung it down.
With one punch, the two thieves were knocked down instantly.
The driver stopped the car, opened the door, and Yangma took one in each hand and threw the two thieves out of the car.
There was a burst of applause, and the long-distance bus continued to move forward. In the rearview mirror, the two people were still lying on the road motionless. The driver thought to himself, he can really pretend, but he didn't know that the Russian women's boxing middleweight champion had just hit them.
It was so powerful that the two thieves were beaten to death and suffered concussions. They were not pretending.
This was just a small episode on the way back home. Huanxi didn't take it to heart at all. She was completely immersed in the memories of the past.
After the long-distance bus arrived in Pingchuan, Huanxi got into a taxi, and her personal bodyguard Natasha also got in. After sitting down, the car sank to one side, which showed the huge tonnage.
"Go to Yucai Middle School." Huanxi said.
Pingchuan is a county-level city, and the place is only that big. Yucai Middle School can be reached in the blink of an eye. Huanxi asked the driver to wait, got out of the car, walked to the school gate, and looked at the teaching building through the iron railing.
During the college entrance examination that year, she was locked in the dormitory by the evil dean, who had sleeping pills in her meals, and the wall clock was set back two hours. If she hadn't found out in time and many good people came to help, she might still have fallen into prostitution.
"Who are you looking for?" came the old voice from the reception room. It was still the old guard. He could not recognize Huanxi, but Huanxi remembered him.
"Uncle, I'm looking for you." Huanxi said.
The old man was very suspicious: "Looking for me? Who are you?"
Huanxi said: "I graduated from Yucai Middle School, and my name is Lan Huanxi."
The uncle suddenly realized: "I remember, I was the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year, with a score of 721. No one can surpass you today. Come in and sit down."
Huanxi walked into the communication room gracefully and chatted with the uncle. After so many years, the shy country girl in the past became extremely talkative and quickly got the information she wanted. Half an hour later, she said goodbye and left.
.
The next stop was Pingchuan No. 2 Middle School, which was the college entrance examination room. It had not changed much and was exactly the same as the examination room in his memory. Huanxi still remembered that it was raining heavily that day. He had no shoes on and was wearing a plastic poncho given by the guard on his bare feet.
I rushed into the examination room, didn't eat any rice at noon, and only drank a few mouthfuls of rain water, which caused me to faint from hypoglycemia.
There was a lot of traffic and pedestrians at the entrance of No. 2 Middle School.
Huanxi was looking for the small supermarket, but the supermarket no longer existed and had become a hotel. He asked the boss, but he couldn't explain it clearly. You'd better ask the landlord and I'll give you a phone number.
After a lot of twists and turns, Huanxi finally got the phone number of the wife who owned the small supermarket back then. She dialed the number with excitement. It took a long time before someone answered, but the voice was still familiar.
"Who is that?" the landlady said in a loud and bold voice.
"Excuse me, are you the aunt who opened the small supermarket in front of Pingchuan No. 2 Middle School?"
"Yes, you are?"
"My name is Lan Huanxi. I took the college entrance examination that year and stayed at your house for a few days."
"Oh, it's you. That's great. This girl is still thinking of me. Where are you?" The landlady was so excited that she kept talking, "I knew you were promising. You went to a university in Hong Kong and later went abroad.
I'm working now. By the way, I've also moved. My son graduated from college and majored in architecture at Tongji University. Now he's working in Shanghai. I'm here to enjoy my son's blessings..."
She kept talking non-stop, and Huanxi had to interrupt her: "Auntie, I'm in Pingchuan now. After the visit to relatives is over, I will go to Shanghai to see you."
"Okay, okay, let's call."
The two easiest people to find were found, followed by the father and son who drove Huanxi to the examination room in a farm vehicle. Huanxi remembered the license plate number, so he needed to go to the vehicle management office to check the file.
The Pingchuan Vehicle Management Office is at the yamen gate. Ordinary people can't just check the files. But if you have money, you can get things done. The taxi driver who drove in Huanxi gave him a big package, saying that his cousin worked at the Vehicle Management Office.
Just one sentence.
Huanxi winked, and Natasha immediately took out a wad of cash. The driver was about to pick it up, but Natasha wouldn't let go.
"I understand, I'll only charge you after you've done it." The driver said with a sneer.
Facts have proved that the driver was not bragging. He actually found the file of the agricultural vehicle. The owner’s name is Zhang Shugui and he lives in Zhangzhuang Village, Dadun Township.
Huanxi went straight to Zhangzhuang Village and found Zhang Shugui's home, but was rejected. Neighbors said that Zhang Shugui's son Zhang Shun had committed murder and was sentenced to death. The old Zhang couple said that their son was unjust and had been petitioning in the provincial capital all year round.
, all the land in the family was abandoned.
Unable to find anyone for the time being, Huanxi had no choice but to leave. The last stop in Pingchuan was his own home. His younger brother died unjustly. In order to appease the Lan family, the government gave the Lan family a resettlement house and arranged a decent job, food and clothing for Lan's father.
Wuyou, in exchange for not making trouble or petitioning, her parents accepted their fate, but Huanxi did not, and she was ashamed of her parents' compromise.
But parents are parents after all. Although Huanxi has not contacted his family for many years, now that he has returned to China, he has to see his parents.
