() Soon the cement road surface broke off and turned into a muddy road. The road that had been toiled by trucks for several years also became full of potholes.
The bus bumped along the way, and was blocked by trucks carrying rocks and soil from time to time. It slowly crawled towards its destination, Xinjiang General Factory.
Compared with Yaoquan's comfortable climate in summer, the urban area of Chongshan, which has always been known as a stove, is much hotter and humid.
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its hottest.
A group of people in the car woke up from the strange state they were in and sat sullenly in the car. Suddenly, some of them were anxious, cursing with burning hair.
Lu Yang shook off his nostalgia and saw Wei Zhixiu's red face next to him, and the sweat on his forehead couldn't help falling.
"Sister, it's hot," Lu Yang took Wei Zhixiu's cloth bag, turned away his kettle and handed it over, smiling and saying, "Drink some water."
"Yangyang, it's okay," Wei Zhixiu raised his head, a little listless, shook his head and said feebly, "I'm not thirsty."
But then, Wei Zhixiu still had to drink the water that was forced to his lips.
Seeing that her expression became more relaxed after drinking water, Lu Yang drank the water from the kettle without caring.
"How long will this blockage last?"
Zhou Hongnian in the front row also drank a few sips of water, wiped his sweat, looked at the traffic jam again, and shook his head helplessly.
At this time, the bus stopped at an intersection, and the front was completely blocked by trucks.
"I'm so annoyed." Zhang Shufen also wiped her sweat and exhaled.
"Aunt Zhang," Zhou Hongnian looked at more and more trucks in front of him and suggested, "Why don't we get off here? Going down from this intersection is Chongxian Middle School, and the house is over there, otherwise we will arrive at the main factory.
We still have to go back, it only takes thirty minutes to walk down from here.”
"Okay, let's just get off the car here."
Zhang Shufen has a straightforward personality and made her decision quickly.
So I greeted the driver of the Red Shipyard, and the group got out of the car with their luggage.
Turning down from the intersection, it is still a gravel road at first, but the road condition is getting better and better. Then it turns onto a cement road. There are more and more houses on the roadside, and it looks more and more prosperous. There are big trees on the roadside, and the sun
Not so cruel anymore.
Zhou Hongnian walked at the front. He seemed to be very familiar with the surrounding area and kept introducing where he was.
"Brother Zhou," Lu Yang asked strangely, "It seems you are very familiar with this place?"
"That's right," Zhou Hongnian smiled and said, "I went to middle school here and have been here for six years. How can I not be familiar with it?"
"Really?" Zhang Shufen knew more about Zhou Hongnian, so she asked curiously: "Xiao Zhou, aren't you from Nanjiang District?"
"My home is in Nanjiang District, but I studied here," Zhou Hongnian said with an embarrassed look on his face: "My grades in elementary school were not good and I couldn't go to a good school in the city. Although Shannan District is a suburb, Yudeng Town
Chongxian Middle School has a long history and high teaching standards. It ranks among the top ten middle schools in Chongshan Middle School. My family sent me to study here. Anyway, it only takes more than an hour by car to my home, so it is quite close.
.”
"No wonder..." Lu Yang chuckled and joked: "Brother Zhou, you are a landlord!"
"Haha, Xiao Yang, you are just laughing at me!"
Zhou Hongnian smiled, and he felt more relaxed when he returned here. He suddenly pointed to the front and said: "That's it!"
A group of people stood in front of an eight-story unit building. Community housing in Chongyue Mountain was still very rare these days, but the first floor of this unit building was surrounded by a three-meter-high wall, which already gave it the feel of a community housing.
.
There was a table at the entrance of the wall, and there was actually an old man sitting there reading a newspaper. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, but his face was very arrogant. When he saw this group of people, especially Liu Qiuhua, who was dressed as a village girl, her face was obviously timid.
His expression immediately became serious.
"Hey! Don't run around! Who are you looking for?"
It was obviously not Zhou Hongnian's first time here. He took out a bunch of keys and said calmly: "I am a resident here and I am bringing my friends back."
The old man looked at Zhou Hongnian's key, his face became calmer, and then he said: "Then sign it."
After saying that, the old man took out a small notebook from the table and handed it over.
Zhou Hongnian was quite helpless. He got in easily the first two times he came here, but seeing the old man's expression, he had no choice but to sign his name and was about to take people in.
"They all signed it!" The old man waved his hand, looking very impatient.
Recently, there are more and more people in the factory next door, and the public security has become more and more chaotic. After the old man retired, he was rehired as a janitor. The leader told him to be careful about strangers.
Zhou Hongnian was very embarrassed. After all, he didn't have much social experience, so he could only explain in a low voice: "This is the family building of the Shannan District Education Bureau. Please pay attention to safety."
"It's okay, just sign." Zhang Shufen was also frightened by this scene and hurriedly invited everyone to sign together.
So many people, carrying luggage and baggage, naturally surrounded the door while taking turns signing.
Lu Yang was the first to sign, then stood aside and frowned.
It's so troublesome to get in and out, so it might be inconvenient for the nursery to be located here.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you blocking me?"
A very sharp voice suddenly came from behind the group of people.
Lu Yang looked up and saw a woman in her thirties, wearing a rose-red tight skirt, a pair of black leather high heels, and a brown leather bag in her arm. Her hair was permed.
She had big waves and was dyed the color of a chicken coop, but unfortunately she had a mediocre appearance, an average figure, and a very impatient expression on her face.
There were three people standing behind the woman, one man and two women.
The man is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt, beige casual pants, and brown casual shoes. His appearance is above average, but on this hot day here, his hands are deliberately covered in
Playing cool in your trouser pockets and being self-righteous and elegant is actually very funny.
The other two women, one is also a woman in her thirties, wearing a yellow waist-length skirt that bulges out her plump body. She has a pair of fat feet in black mid-heeled leather sandals, and carries a black backpack on her shoulders.
se leather bag, her hair is also wavy, but has not been dyed.
After seeing the surprised face clearly, Lu Yang sighed in his heart.
This woman in her thirties is called Chen Xiaoli. She was once a colleague of her mother, Zhang Shufen, at the Institute of Medicinal Planting. Her husband, Wang Wei, is the godbrother of her father, Lu Jiangan.
The two families used to have a very close relationship, so Lu Yang knew who the other girl was without even looking.
"Brother Yang!"
Before everyone had time to react, the girl with a surprised look on her face who saw Lu Yang clearly let out a crisp shout, then broke away from her mother Chen Xiaoli's hand, waved, and wanted to rush over.
Lu Yang lowered his head slightly, hiding the complex look on his face that flashed across his face.
After the group of people dispersed, Lu Yang raised his head and smiled and walked forward to face the girl who ran over with a surprised look on her face.
Haven’t seen each other for two years?
The yellow-haired girl who was thirteen years old when we parted has now become a graceful fifteen-year-old girl.
The girl in front of Lu Yang had big eyes because of the surprise, and a sweet smile on her oval face. She was wearing a light pink chiffon dress, red leather shoes, and white socks. She looked particularly delicate, with her forehead
The hair on the top is combed into small braids and looped around the shawl. She looks like a little princess.
"My dear concubine," Lu Yang said with a smile, polite and distant, "Long time no see."
The girl's footsteps stopped for an instant, the smile on her face faded, replaced by an expression of disbelief, and her originally dazzling eyes suddenly became filled with water.
Seeing the girl sobbing, Lu Yang's heart twitched suddenly, and then he smiled bitterly to himself.
Originally, he thought that he would no longer be emotional for this girl...
The girl's name is Wang Fei, and her father Wang Wei and Lu Jiangan are neighbors in the city of Chongshan. After the two met again at the Red Shipyard, they knew each other, and naturally their relationship quickly became strong, and they called each other brothers.
Later, Lu Jiangan married Zhang Shufen, and Wang Wei also married Chen Xiaoli, a colleague of Zhang Shufen's research institute, a month later.
The two of them have about the same length of service. They have been neighbors since they were young. The male owner is related by blood and the female owner is a colleague, so they are naturally familiar with each other.
The princess can be said to be Lu Yang's childhood sweetheart. During those ignorant years in the old factory, brother Yang took his concubine and sister, and led a group of younger brothers behind him to show off their power, causing great commotion in the family area.
Lu Jiangan and Wang Wei were both promising when they entered the factory, but they both rejected the favor of the factory leaders and married a female employee of the Medicinal Planting Research Institute. However, their subsequent experiences were very different.
Lu Jiangan has always been on the front line of the workshop, and his hard work has not been appreciated. It was not until this year that he became the deputy director of the workshop because of the opportunity of relocation.
Wang Wei's father-in-law is said to be the leader of a certain bureau in Nanlong County. However, after Wang Wei and Chen Xiaoli got married, they were suddenly defeated by political opponents and could only take an idle position. Naturally, they could not help Wang Wei.
But a few years ago, Wang Wei's father-in-law turned around and became the deputy county magistrate. Wang Wei was suddenly selected to go to a university in Chongshan to study for a junior college. With his academic qualifications, it was different. After he came back, he quickly got involved in the Red Shipyard.
The office director is now the deputy director in charge of sales at Hong Shipyard.
As for the relationship between the two families, they were still very harmonious in the old factory. Although Chen Xiaoli was not very close to the Lu Yang family, she had always been polite.
But now it’s very embarrassing. Someone spread rumors in the factory and said bad things about Zhang Shufen. Lu Jiangan was so angry that he went to check it. In the end, he found out that it was Chen Xiaoli’s friend. He was very angry and went to confront her. Chen Xiaoli’s friend was lax and argued back.
Later, it was revealed that Chen Xiaoli asked her to do it because she was jealous of Zhang Shufen.
However, Lu Yang himself only knew about these gossips about his parents, but he didn't know the more specific reasons.
The princess came to the main factory two years ago. She should not be aware of the filthiness of these adults at this time. She has good academic performance and is pretty. She already has her own circle here. Wang Wei is the factory leader, so she naturally gets to know her.
They are also some outstanding children.
In his previous life, Lu Yang came to the main factory confused and in pain, and his personality became extreme. The vague goodwill between the two was naturally vulnerable.
After the initial surprise, the princess quickly became indifferent to Lu Yang.
Lu Yang was in great pain during that time, and after he became a gangster, the two of them became even more like strangers.
But it was only for one year. The princess entered Chongxian Middle School after high school, and the name was lost in Lu Yang's memory.
