Haicheng is an important transportation port in northern China. From its name, we can also see what the characteristics of this city are.
However, over the years, this city, like Zhang Hong, has gradually declined, and its status in China is no longer as prominent as before.
Lin Tianyao followed Zhang Hong as they walked in the city. Instead of taking a taxi, they chose to walk.
Both sides of the street are lined with dilapidated old houses. Even the newly built commercial buildings lack confidence due to the sparse flow of people. Although it is daytime, the flow of people in the city is far less than that of the American cities where Lin Tianyao just came here.
What¡¯s going on here?
"After you left, the economy in our area has been in recession. It is no longer good and cannot keep up with the times. Damn it, the iron rice bowl is gone. Young and old men can't find a job. Those who have the ability can open a breeding farm." They raised foxes and seafood, and those who had no skills went to the south to work. So this is what we have here."
Seemingly aware of Lin Tianyao's doubts, Zhang Hong opened his mouth to explain. At this time, his mood had calmed down and he was not as excited as before.
"What about the cities further north?" Lin Tianyao asked.
"In those places, there are 365 days a year, and 200 of them are not good, so how can we talk about development? But the tourism industry there seems to be doing well, much better than here. Hey, I found it."
Zhang Hong said this, and then walked from the street into a small alley. Lin Tianyao followed and walked in.
Inside the box, there is a food stall. At this moment, although the stall outside has been closed, the door is still open inside. Zhang Hong and Lin Tianyao walked in, and the boss ran over eagerly.
"Boss, here are twenty skewers of grilled squid. I want them fresh from the sea. Don't fool me with those fake ones that have been coated with dye! I'll have a braised sea cucumber, a snowflake scallop, and the main dish will be braised in an iron pot. The chicken is ready. Let¡¯s do it!¡±
Lin Tianyao watched Zhang Hong ordering the dishes skillfully. When he heard the names of the dishes that were once very familiar, but now very unfamiliar, coming out of Zhang Hong's mouth, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar.
After the boss wrote down these few dishes, he turned around and ran to the kitchen. Then, Zhang Hong looked at Lin Tianyao:
"What are you drinking?"
"I don't want to drink anymore. It hurts my stomach. I still have to talk about business. You can do whatever you want."
Since leaving the earth, Lin Tianyao has stopped drinking. It¡¯s not that he can¡¯t drink, but he just doesn¡¯t want to get drunk in a strange world.
Zhang Hong curled his lips, and then pulled out a bottle of liquor from the table behind him. It was Erguotou.
The dishes were served in a short while. Zhang Hong took the dishes and took a sip of white wine. His expression softened.
"It's summer here in the south, but it's winter here for us. No wonder the little bastard at home is arguing that he must go to the south to take the college entrance examination! This weather is really unbearable."
It¡¯s already early autumn, but because of its geographical location close to the north and the sea, Haicheng¡¯s climate is quite cold. Just like now, Zhang Hong has to wear a coat.
"Boss, why are you so naughty? You can't turn on the air conditioner on such a day. You want us two brothers to freeze to death!"
Lin Tianyao didn't say anything, just picked up a chopstick of food, but Zhang Hong couldn't stand the weather anymore, so he complained to the boss.
"Happy, turn on the air conditioner. It's daytime and the sun is out! If you're afraid of the cold, drink more wine. If it doesn't work, just switch to a stove!" The boss's voice was already a little blurry when it came from the kitchen. It¡¯s clear, but the general meaning is still very clear.
"These foreign traitors are not even willing to turn on the air conditioner after making money from us!" Zhang Hong complained, but this time his voice was not as loud.
The sky was not yet completely bright. Inside the dirty restaurant, under the dim light, what Lin Tianyao saw on the face of his former friend was the wind and frost left by the years.
He has changed. In the past, he could not be so easy to talk to. Lin Tianyao still remembered that he once sneaked out of his home and went out to drink with Zhang Hong. Because the hotel owner refused to turn on the fan, Zhang Hong turned over the table.
It¡¯s just that people will change after all. Lin Tianyao remembered the three thousand yuan that Su Xiaoxiao had mentioned before.
He drank all the boiled water in the wine glass, but felt a little drunk.
"The tombs of uncle and aunt are right next to your in a moment, I will take you over to have a look." Zhang Hong looked atTianyao didn't say anything, just drank by himself.
"Thank you. Please don't tell others about my return." Lin Tianyao was silent for a while and then said.
Zhang Hong looked at him, his chopsticks holding food paused in the air:
"We have known each other for more than 20 years. From childhood to adulthood, I have wiped your butt so many times. This is the first time I have heard the word thank you from your mouth."
Zhang Hong said this while chewing a bunch of grilled squid, while Lin Tianyao listened to what he said without saying anything and fell silent.
Twenty years have passed, and there are many things I want to say, but when the words come to my mouth, I can¡¯t open them.
"What are your plans from now on? Just live in the old house or" After eating for a while, Zhang Hong spoke again.
"Just live in the old house for the time being. I bought a house in the United States. If you have time, you can come over with your children and wife to play."
Lin Tianyao said, he noticed that when he said this, Zhang Hong's eyes dimmed.
But, he didn¡¯t say anything.
"That's good. What, are you married? What kind of work do you do in the United States?" Zhang Hong then asked.
¡°I¡¯m such a bastard, wouldn¡¯t getting married harm others? It¡¯s okay if I don¡¯t talk about my work.¡±
"Why, you are so stupid and you still don't want to tell your brother what you do? Could it be that you are still from the FBI?"
Zhang Hong said this sentence casually, but the meaning behind it was not casual. (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
