"Look at you, you're the breadwinner." Zhan Yiyuan joked at Lin Qiu. Lin Qiu had many friends, many more than Zhan Yiyuan. He used to be very envious when he saw this scene, but now it's different. He also has good friends with like-minded friends. The relationship has eased and there is no feeling of loneliness at all.
"I'll come right away!" After Lin Qiu said this, he immediately said goodbye to Monkey and the others.
Shanghai, he is coming!
Shanghai in the 1990s had not yet been fully developed, and many typical landmark buildings had not yet been built. The Oriental Pearl Tower is also beginning to take shape.
The main means of transportation now is the green train, which is much slower than in the previous life. Lin Qiu impatiently chewed melon seeds. In the previous life, the time they spent on the train was enough for him to travel back and forth between Beijing and Shanghai three times.
Although Miao Dehai was steady, his eyes couldn't help but glance at the train window. He had the least knowledge among these people. But I don't want to show off my timidity.
Zhan Yiyuan bought him a bottle of Coke. Coke is a very high-end drink in this era. The carbonated drinks that everyone has tasted are usually sugar-free sodas, and you can mix your own sugar.
He suddenly thought of teasing Miao Dehai: "This Coke is delicious, try it quickly." The Coke is indeed delicious, but Miao Dehai has never tasted it.
Miao Dehai picked up the Coke in confusion: "Are you trying to tease me again?" Zhan Yiyuan often played pranks on him. Those pranks often don't hurt people, and they also protect his fragile self-esteem. He has always been grateful for the knowledge Zhan Yiyuan gave him.
"You will know if you try it, what kind of bad things are sold on the train?" Zhan Yiyuan held his chin, lowered his head and looked at Miao Dehai: "You have to believe me."
Miao Dehai couldn't stand Zhan Yiyuan's coquettishness, so he opened a Coke, looked at Zhan Yiyuan suspiciously, and saw Zhan Yiyuan nodding.
He finally brought it to his mouth and took a sip.
"puff--"
"Hahaha..." Zhan Yiyuan laughed wildly.
Miao Dehai laughed out loud when he saw the toilet paper handed over by Zhang Yuansheng: "Okay, Zhan Yiyuan, how dare you play tricks on me." It was not easy for his grandma to raise him, so he didn't drink soda a few times. As for the taste of carbon dioxide, it can be said that it has never been touched upon.
But Zhan Yiyuan would never harm him, so he took another sip: "Don't tell me, it actually tastes pretty good."
"Of course it tastes good. This thing is also called happy water." Lin Qiu agreed. The most coveted thing in the world since he came here is the taste of Coke. But Coca-Cola was very expensive in this day and age, and he was reluctant to give it up.
Zhan Yiyuan suddenly asked, "How come I haven't heard of Coke having this other name?"
"Uh!" It was over. It seemed that she had been exposed. Lin Qiu rolled her eyes and thought of remedial measures. Her adrenaline suddenly surged and her heart beat very fast.
"But you are right. Drinking Coke does make people feel happy. It is well deserved to be called Happy Water. How could you think of such an appropriate name." Zhan Yiyuan changed the subject again.
Lin Qiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard a few children say this." It seems that he should be more cautious in the future and not say such revealing words.
However, several people present did not pay attention to this matter, and the topic immediately changed.
After a few minor episodes, everyone finally arrived in Shanghai.
Lin Qiu got off the train. Just start scanning the surrounding scene. He had been to Shanghai in his previous life. Just as a delivery boy. That was a completely different situation than today.
Lin Qiu's first impression of Shanghai came from movies. Shanghai Tang was very popular on black and white TV at the time, and many boys were interested in the evil, life of licking blood at the tip of a knife. I think it's so cool.
The way the male protagonists on TV are dressed up is also popular across the country. Speaking of which, this is the hairstyle Monkey had. Although his hairstyle is not good-looking, the style of Shanghai Street has a Shanghai-Tang feel.
At this time, Shanghai still had dirt roads, which felt very different from the asphalt roads. Zhang Yuansheng took a puff of cigarette and said to Lin Qiu and the others: "This place is much different from the last time I came here."
Lin Qiu had some questions: "The last time you went there was half a year ago. Has Shanghai changed a lot in the past six months?" By the time he actually lived on the ground in Shanghai, Shanghai had already turned into a cyberspace. He really didn't know much about Shanghai's development history.
Zhang Yuansheng nodded: "The changes have been really big. Pudong has begun to develop. When I came here last time, the tall tower in front had no shape at all. Looking back today, there are already several of them taller than me."
The Oriental Pearl Tower is what Zhang Yuansheng said. This high platform will become the most iconic building in Shanghai in the future. Many people take pictures of the scenery of Shanghai and check in under it.
"When I came here last time, the road was full of flying dust. When I look at the ground today, it has been compacted a lot. It has changed a lot!" Zhang Yuansheng finished talking about what he saw. But there are more invisible things. Shanghai was a very dynamic city in the 1990s. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have risen so quickly.
In this city with so many opportunities, whoever seizes them will be at the forefront of the times. It will strengthen itself bit by bit in the torrent of history. And those cities that missed the opportunity will only remain silent.
Many cities still rely on heavy industry for development. Light craftsmanship and electronic technology are ignored. As a result, the city's development level is moving downwards.
Lin Qiu looked at the rapidly changing Shanghai: "Sooner or later we will have a place here!" For Lin Qiu, it is a different city. He came to Shanghai to rent a room with only six square meters, just to better support his family. Those days of humiliation were a past he never wanted to recall.
He's definitely going to make his start-up capital here!
Zhan Yiyuan came to Shanghai with his father, and Zhang Yuansheng also came to Shanghai on a business trip. This is especially true for Lin Qiu, who once lived in the land of Ribei. Only Miao Dehai, he was really the first time he read this field.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at this strange city. His grandma had never left her hometown. Except when he took her to Beijing for medical treatment, she spent the rest of her time in that one-third of an acre of land.
If she knew that she could come to a wider world, would she be proud of him?
"Should we find a place to stay first?" Lin Qiu asked. The feeling of being homeless was not good. The hotels here should not be as expensive as they were in the previous life.
Zhang Yuansheng finished smoking and put out the cigarette butt: "I rented a big bed room and the four of us will live together."
Everyone looked at Zhan Yiyuan. Only his family background was better here, and everyone was a little worried that he would not be suitable.
Zhan Yiyuan was shocked by other people's looks: "I have spent a year outside by myself. How can I be so fragile that I can't even live in a big bed room?" He didn't understand why others treated him like a younger brother. ah!
