() Li Yumei’s hometown is located in Chongshan City, Daliangshan District opposite Shannan District.
Unlike Li Yuzhen, who had been working in the factory, her academic performance was better. After graduating from technical secondary school, she entered the Chongshan Department Store in Daliang District, starting as a salesperson at the bottom level, and later transferred to administrative management.
It's just that the year before last, Li Yumei made a decision that surprised the whole family. She went to compete for the position of deputy sales manager of a newly established wholesale business company. After hard work, she finally got rid of the "crazy" evaluation at the time. Her income was higher than her own.
My husband, Liu Hong, is several times taller and is considered a high-income earner in today's Chongshan.
A year ago, Liu Hong, who was originally working at a large state-owned enterprise in Daliang Mountain District, was transferred from his job to the Red Shipyard in the valley as the head of the corporate management section. The couple separated from then on.
Li Yumei was naturally not happy, but the Red Shipyard was about to move back to Chongshan, which was a good opportunity for her husband, who was originally just a senior staff member. She couldn't say too much.
Liu Hong is still in Yaoquan, so it is natural for Li Yumei to choose the house. However, she has a house in Daliang Mountain District, which is only thirty minutes away from the center of Chongshan. She is not satisfied with living in such a remote place as Yudeng Town.
Not interested, this house is mainly for future Liu Hong.
The Xinjiang General Factory had such a system, and Li Yumei didn't have much time. She came twice and couldn't choose the right one. She was very irritated at first.
But after Lu Yang said this, Li Yumei also felt that there were five houses to choose from. She drove here, and the road down there was too bad. It was much better here.
"Sister Shufen," Li Yumei smiled at Zhang Shufen, stared at Lu Yang, and praised: "Your Lu Yang is really smart. What grade will he go to this year?"
"You are very naughty. You are in the third grade of junior high school this year." After Zhang Shufen finished speaking, she saw that Li Yumei's face was even more surprised, and she was naturally very happy.
"Shufen," Li Yuzhen also looked surprised and asked from the side: "How did your Yangyang know this?"
"I don't know either..." Zhang Shufen shook her head, but after Lu Yang's behavior some time ago, her only thought as a mother was that her son would grow up and become sensible.
"Aunt Li," Lu Yang said modestly, "I asked a lot of people before I came here. These ideas are also summarized by others."
Zhang Shufen had a look of understanding on her face and thought it was Lu Yang who asked Xu Wei.
Li Yumei was a busy person. Not only did she have a car, but she also carried a mobile phone in her bag. She was summoned by phone and left. Before she left, she was embarrassed to say that she owed her food.
After several people came out of the house, Li Yumei first asked where Zhang Shufen had been housed these days. She was surprised to learn that it was in the family building of the Education Bureau in Yudeng Town. I heard that Zhou Hongnian had found the house and the rent was so cheap.
, and was amazed.
However, Li Yumei was still very dissatisfied and blamed Zhang Shufen for not renting a house and living directly at her home.
Zhang Shufen was so proud that she naturally refused with a smile. Li Yumei knew her temperament and didn't force her smile.
It was still a little early for dinner at this time, so Zhang Shufen said to see if the bungalow opposite Group 5 was available for rent.
Li Yumei asked what she was doing and learned that Lu Jiangan's workshop was planning to set up a nursery and needed to rent a house. She immediately became excited and urged to go and have a look.
To the south of Dajiang Middle Road is the Hehua Market. The Hehua Police Station is located between the Fifth Group and the Hehua Market. Due to the large population in the local towns, there was news that the Xinjiang General Factory was relocating a few years ago, and some smart locals have already repaired many of them.
Buildings, there are many houses listed for rent in the west of Wu Group.
Soon Zhang Shufen found two houses that she liked, right next to the fifth group. Although the houses were not as new as the family area, they were much better than the old factory. According to Li Yuzhen's estimate, a ten-minute walk to the children's school was enough.
Of course, it is impossible to rent now, at least we have to wait until August, so Zhang Shufen only asked the landlord about the rent. The asking price for the first floor is not low, but if it is on the second or third floor, it will be very cheap. Thirty square meters
A single room only costs fifty yuan.
At this time, large-scale relocation has not yet begun, and there are not many people who need to rent a house. Especially in the fifth group, it is still very remote. It will be difficult to find tenants after the house is repaired.
Nowadays, some popular entertainment such as billiards, gambling machines, etc. are right in front of the police station, so naturally not many people are willing to come and play. There is no hope in this road. Seeing that they can find tenants, the landlord keeps hinting at renting more
We can still talk.
After feeling confident, Zhang Shufen happily left with a few people.
Li Yumei generously said she was treating her, but Zhang Shufen considered Wei Zhixiu and the others, so she declined, but decided to go to the vegetable market in Beihuanpan to buy vegetables together.
Lu Yang and Wei Zhiwu followed the two of them as followers. He kept swinging his head and looked at both sides of the road, trying to combine the scenes in front of him with the fragments in his memory.
Dajiang Middle Road was originally planned as a commercial street. The south section is still under construction, but the north section is already somewhat prosperous. There are a series of 'illegal buildings' along the east side.
This place is planned to be a stadium, but now it is just an open space. At the end of Dajiang Middle Road, many employees or family members who came first set up sheds using prefabricated wooden boards. Among them, there are restaurants, books and newspapers with northern and southern flavors,
There are so many electrical appliance stores opened that the west side was originally a building for employees’ families, and some first-floor residents facing the road also opened their balconies and opened shops.
Lu Yang knew that many of these stores were opened by employees or family members of various branches who were not doing well in their lives. Many factories could not afford to pay wages, so it was common sense for each to show off their talents.
At this time, the culture of state-owned enterprises still looked down on those doing business and thought it was a loss of face. However, following the large-scale layoffs of state-owned enterprises, most of those who dared to take the initiative to make a living on their own did better than ordinary leaders, and many of them were able to
Can afford to buy several commercial houses.
It’s still early to make money, Lu Yang sighed in his heart. Now that Wei Zhiwu and Wei Zhixiu have opened a shop here, it will be difficult for them to fight hand-to-hand with these shopkeepers who have various connections.
After all, this is a small arena. Unless you have the connections or the power to overcome obstacles, it is better to be someone who cannot directly compete with others.
Lu Yang was thinking hard about what to do. Several people had already arrived at the North Roundabout, and the road here began to deteriorate. Many of the buildings in the first and second groups in the distance, which were the first to be built, were still half-finished, and there was no sign of construction.
There are two rows of two-story buildings along both sides of the road in the northeast direction of the North Roundabout. Surrounded by the vegetable market in the middle, the ground floor faces the inside of the market and is mostly rented by vendors for buying goods and serving as warehouses.
Shannan District is known as the vegetable basket of the main city of Shannan, so local farmers will not let go of this emerging market.
With the relocation of many branch factories and the influx of people, it is obvious that business here is good. It is getting late now, but there are still many farmers selling vegetables inside.
Zhang Shufen and Li Yuzhen were in high spirits, wandering around the market and buying a lot of vegetables. Wei Zhiwu followed diligently and brought a lot of vegetables.
Lu Yang was a little distracted. He looked around, and there were always fragments of black and white movies flashing through his eyes.
Lu Yang has too many memories about this market.
The rice store here will soon be a game arcade. Lu Yang seemed to see himself playing arcade games there day and night. Suddenly, he didn't know who he was arguing with. The two started fighting in front of the store. He
He pushed the kid to the ground and punched him repeatedly until he was vomiting blood and begging for mercy, and then someone pulled him up.
The butcher shop over there will soon become a real 'butcher' shop. Lu Yang seemed to see himself and his buddies working as little boys here for the first time to earn pocket money. At night, the two of them stood stupidly at the door in shirts and trousers, with behind them
In the butcher's shop, a young woman who lost her job and a young girl who didn't study well dressed up in fancy clothes, laughed with the customers in the booth, then hugged each other, and went out drunk to find a place to relieve their anger.
The ones with the most clips are all kinds of group fights. At first, it was just students who looked like students because of various jealousy and other nonsense. A few or a dozen people fought with each other with nothing in their hands. Later, it seemed that several gangs were fighting because of some interests at stake.
Dozens or even hundreds of young people, armed with sticks, iron chains and machetes in their hands, chased and hacked each other in the early morning. From time to time, injured people were screaming on the ground holding blood-stained wounds.
Lu Yang closed his eyes, opened them again, exhaled a breath, shook his head, trying to put away those nightmare scenes.
It’s different now…
"Yeah, my bag!"
Lu Yang came back to his senses and realized that Li Yuzhen's voice was coming from in front of him. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked over.
Under the cover of night, a short man was flying in front. Wei Zhiwu had already chased him, but he was only a dozen steps behind. There were not only many people in the market, but also chaos. He couldn't close the distance. Zhang Shufen and Li Yuzhen hurriedly mentioned
Follow along with the food.
The farmers and vegetable vendors in the market seemed not to be surprised. They just guarded their stalls and watched the show with indifferent expressions.
Seeing the short man running towards the stairs, Lu Yang turned around and ran out of the stairs where he came from, then walked around to the riverside of Dajiang Middle Road.
There are stairs outside to go up to the second floor, where most of the games rooms, billiard tables and mahjong parlors are opened.
Just as Lu Yang stood still, sure enough, the short man ran out from the stairs and climbed to the second floor in an instant. He quickly went up to the second floor.
The corridor on the second floor was brightly lit, and Lu Yang could clearly see the short man's face.
Lu Yang saw the short man getting into a room. He remembered the place clearly and walked over.
When he reached the door, Lu Yang took a deep breath and opened the sliding door.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the noisy sound of arcade machines. It was not really big inside, with only a dozen machines, but it was crowded with people everywhere.
Lu Yang's sharp eyes suddenly saw the short man standing in the back. He couldn't remember his name or whether he knew this person.
At this time, Lu Yang's attention was focused on the table at the door.
Sitting behind the table was a man who looked about thirty years old, wearing a blue cloth work clothes. There was no air conditioning in the room, only a ceiling fan was running. Most of the people inside were short-sleeved and shirtless, but he was the only one wearing long-sleeved trousers, naturally full body.
It was sweat, especially the beads of sweat as big as his head that kept falling. He looked like a worker who had just gotten off work.
Seeing the young man Lu Yang come in, the man raised his head and smiled, raised a handful of game coins in his hand, and made a hoarse voice.
