The Era of Hard Work - Chapter 817
Chapter 817 Uncle
The newly opened Qingzhao Railway Station was moved out of the urban area and is located between Qingzhao City and University Town, adding a lot of transportation convenience to the two major population settlements.
Lu Dong drove a Buick business, parked in the parking lot in front of the station, got off the car and walked towards the station hall with Hu Chunlan.
Because the new station just opened, Hu Chunlan came for the first time, looked over there and said, “It’s much better than the old station.”
Lu Dong had some understanding, so he said: “The district specially finds designers to design.”
In terms of infrastructure, the investment here has always been large, and it is hard to say other places. For Taidong, the traffic conditions have been greatly improved in recent years. The railway network and highway network are dense, and travel and transportation are very convenient.
The new station is naturally very beautiful. It is not comparable to the old station that was ventilated and leaked, and even the glass was broken into countless pieces.
The design of this station is derived from the shape of “Mountain Spring”, which is one of the pillars of Qingzhao Cultural Tourism. The central arched station hall reflects the image of gushing spring water. Entering the portal of Qingzhao, the two wings of the station are gently unfolded and tilted, showing the rapid development of Qingzhao.
Qingzhao establishes a city with cultural tourism. Generally, houses built by companies cannot be managed, but the public buildings invested in the district must fit the positioning of Qingzhao as a famous cultural and tourism city.
Lü Dong headed into the station, and the interior decoration continued the streamlined style of the exterior, injecting water ripple elements into it, focusing on the spring water culture of Qingzhao.
Thanks to the popularity of Qingzhao Culture and Tourism, even if this is a county-level station, after the opening of Qingzhao New Station, the average daily number of passengers will exceed 30,000, and it can be close to 100,000 during the busiest holidays.
The heat and economic activity of a place can be seen from the train station.
Hu Chunlan came to the station near the exit and glanced at the electronic screen: “I’ll be there in fifteen minutes. I’ll call your uncle.”
There were a lot of people picking up the station, and the nearby benches were full. Lu Dong stood in a place where he could see the station as soon as he exited the station, and Hu Chunlan came over to make a call.
As for my uncle, although I haven’t made many phone calls in the past two years, Lu Dong’s impression of people’s appearance is somewhat vague at first glance.
My uncle Hu Chunyang joined the army when he was young, and he stayed in the border defense for nearly 20 years. Later, Tigan became a family there. At the beginning, he would occasionally come back to visit relatives, because the uncle and the couple were really impressive. Unbearable, rarely come back for the last ten years.
The last time I came back was in 1997.
stood and waited for about ten minutes, the announcement of the arrival of the train sounded, and both Lu Dong and Hu Chunlan looked inside the station.
Soon, the crowd poured out, and it was a bit chaotic here at the exit.
But compared to the old station, the order of the new station is much better.
The district has been rectifying taxis and black taxis since the beginning of this year. Although the latter is much less, it is impossible to disappear.
No matter taxi drivers or sneaky black car drivers, they are not allowed to enter the station to solicit customers. Once caught, they will be severely fined.
The station has always been a difficult point. It is impossible to say that the renovation is 100% compliant.
“Come! Come!” Hu Chunlan was a little excited at this moment and waved at the station: “Dongzi, hurry up and pick up your luggage, I saw your uncle and your little sister! They also saw us! The two who waved. people!”
Lu Dong also saw it. A group of three people were dragging a large suitcase in their hands. Among them, a middle-aged couple, both in their forties, had an impression of the man, and at a glance they recognized it as my uncle.
My uncle is tall, more than 1.8 meters tall, wearing a dark blue T-shirt with a collar and half sleeves. His appearance is vaguely similar to his mother’s. He walks like Lu Chun, and his waist is very straight.
The little girl next to has a very fair complexion, is about 1.7 meters tall, has short ears and short hair, and is also very temperamental.
The two of them were followed by a young man of seventeen or eighteen. He was tall and sturdy, his body was somewhat similar to Lu Dong, and there was a pair of myopia glasses on the bridge of his nose.
Lu Dong called him, this is his cousin Hu Yan.
As soon as the three of them came out, Lu Dong greeted them immediately, and at the same time picked up the big suitcase dragged by the little girl.
Hu Chunyang looked at Lu Dong and couldn’t help but say, “You’ve grown so big, the last time I came back, you were still a stubborn boy.”
Lu Dong laughed: “Hu Yan is as tall as me.”
Hu Chunlan was talking to the younger sister, Tong Hong, and Lu Dong said quickly, “This is not the place to talk, let’s go out first.”
“Yes!” Hu Chunyang followed Lu Dong: “Go home first.”
The five people left the station hall one after another. There was a long line of taxis parked near the exit. It was impossible to leave the hall.
But it is different from before. In the past, the driver directly grabbed the luggage, but now the most at most is to ask whether to take a taxi.
These people like to pull out-of-towners the most.
“There is a car!” Lu Dong said casually and sent the person away.
Hearing this, with a local accent, the surrounding taxi drivers immediately dispersed.
The seven-seat Buick commercial vehicle, with all the luggage, is quite comfortable for five people.
As soon as he got on the train, Hu Chunyang said, “Is the train station changed?”
Lu Dong started the car and replied, “Moved out of the city, it just opened this year.”
Turning to the road, Hu Chunyang looked around curiously: “I can’t recognize it, I can’t recognize it at all.”
Hu Chunlan pointed it out to him: “Over there, have you seen the antique building? That’s Luozhuang…”
Hu Yan answered at this time: “Is it the famous Luozhuang Han Tomb?”
“This is it.” Hu Chunlan further said: “You don’t know, this tomb was first discovered by Dongzi.”
Hu Yan became interested and asked, “Brother, is it true or false?”
Lu Dong smiled and said: “I’m lucky, I met an acquaintance in Luozhuang selling gold pancakes. I happened to have a friend who was doing archaeology at the provincial university, so I asked him to come over and take a look. It turned out that it was a golden pancake from the Western Han Dynasty. , and then reported.”
“Why did you report it!” Hu Yan felt sorry for Lu Dong: “There are so many good things, brother, if you dig out one of them, you will become prosperous.”
Tong Hong slapped him lightly: “nonsense, what are you thinking about? That’s against the law.”
Xiao Nizi is not of Han nationality. He speaks Mandarin fluently, but with a slightly heavier accent.
Hu Yan patted his head: “I almost forgot, Brother Dong’s business is so big, he doesn’t care about it.”
Lu Dong deliberately joked: “I’m afraid to go in.”
Everyone in the car laughed.
Gradually approached the Luozhuang intersection. When he got here, Hu Chunyang suddenly remembered: “From here all the way north, it is Lujia Village.”
He recalled the past: “When I was in junior high school, I rode a bicycle down this road every day to go to town for junior high school.”
It took only a few minutes to drive from Luozhuang intersection to Lujia Village. Hu Chunyang was full of curiosity when he saw the towering front gate of Lujia Village.
Looking at both sides, there is a large amusement park, a botanical garden, and an ocean polar world under construction.
“Your Lujia Village has grown bigger and stronger!” Although Hu Chunyang has been away from home for many years, he has grown up in this area, and many people still have memories of many things: “At the beginning of the year, on the news at 7 o’clock, I saw the leaders come to inspect , I can’t believe my eyes when I see the leader talking to Lu Zhenlin and Dongzi.”
Hu Yan pointed to the plaque above the building at the front door: “Dad, look at it, there is an inscription written by the leader!”
Hu Chunyang said: “Your Lujia Village is really amazing.”
Before turning from the south of the Qianmenlouzi, Lu Dong asked, “Uncle, son, do you want to come down and have a look?”
“Don’t watch it first, go home first.” Hu Chunyang is not in a hurry, this time he can stay for a while when he comes back: “There will be time to turn later.”
The car turned, and he said again: “Fuyuko, your business is not small. In the border city where I stayed, all your stores have opened.”
Lu Dong laughed: “Little uncle, you have to help me take care of it later.”
Hu Yan joins in the fun: “I went back from the summer vacation last month, and I invited my classmates to have a meal at Burger King.” He has just studied at university for a year, and he has a natural admiration for successful entrepreneurs: “Brother, you Starting from scratch and creating such a big business is really amazing, the economics department of our school even explained you and your company as a classic case in the classroom.”
What’s going on at my aunt’s house? Hu Yan heard from his father that under such poor conditions, Lu Dong has become a first-class catering company in the country in a few years. It’s hard not to admire him.
Came to the new village of Lujia Village and saw the neat rows of villas. Hu Chunyang understood that Lujia Village was really different today.
Entered the house and sat in the living room. Lu Dong went to boil water to make tea, and Hu Chunlan accompanied his uncle and his family to talk in the living room.
Seeing the portrait of Lu Jianjun in the middle of the living room, Hu Chunyang straightened his body and gave a military salute.
said a few words and talked about where to stay, and the little girl insisted on staying at the hotel.
The old houses in Majia Village belonged to the boss for a long time, and Hu Chunyang has no homestead here.
Hu Chunlan said: “The third one, it’s not easy for you to come back. The place is spacious, so just stay at home, and let Dongzi pull you around tomorrow. There have been great changes in the past two years.”
Hu Chunyang said quickly: “Sister, we can just stay in a hotel, it’s too troublesome to stay at home.”
There are three more people, and there are many things. Not only is my sister troublesome, but my family is used to living in Western Xinjiang, and their habits are different, and they are equally awkward.
Lu Dong came from the kitchen with a teapot, and just as he was about to answer, Hu Chunyang said, “Before I came back, I informed the boss about the situation over there. Sister, you all know that the boss came to me from insurance, and Dongzi stared at me. He is about to get married, it would be bad if he came to the house to make trouble.”
This is something that cannot be ignored.
The little girl also said: “Sister, we will find a hotel nearby and we can come over at any time.”
Thinking of the eldest brother’s family, and thinking that the eldest brother will definitely ask the eldest brother to pull together when he comes back, and try to get something out of it, Hu Chunlan said to Lu Dong: “Dongzi, your uncle’s residence, you arrange it.”
“Don’t!” Hu Chunyang said quickly: “Don’t be so troublesome.”
Lu Dong said: “Uncle, don’t be polite to me, it’s just a phone call.”
In fact, he had already thought about where his brother-in-law’s family would stay when he came back, and he had made preparations. If he lived at home, everything was easy to say. If he stayed in a hotel, he would go to Ladies Mountain Resort.
He not only booked a hotel there in advance, but also booked several holiday villas.
