It has a high gatehouse with white walls and black tiles.
There are eighteen turns in the narrow alleys of the ancient town.
Lin Yue walked on the bluestone road in Twenty-eight Capital, feeling the unevenness and occasional small shaking under his feet.
The climate here is good and the scenery is excellent.
Although there has been a lot of tourism development in recent years, there can be several specialty shops in a small alley, such as Tongluo cakes, coir raincoats, white porcelain, camellia oil... but the store owners look at people with a look and expression that is not seen in big city merchants. The Buddhist style seems to say that it doesn’t matter whether you buy it or not, just come and play.
On the more spacious streets, locals leaned against the door and told the people under the eaves across the street about interesting things in the town. For example, Director Zhang helped the daughter of the old Wang family find a good job, and Xiaolong next door saw The two went to the cinema to watch a movie.
An older leftover girl who no one cares about in Shanghai has become a man of the hour in the small town.
Lin Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head. He didn't know whether to call these people honest or gossipy. In fact, this is a microcosm of countless towns and villages. Some migrant workers are reluctant to weigh two kilograms of pork a week in the city and cannot go out to a restaurant once a month. However, when they return to their hometown during the holidays, they wish they could spend more than 300 days working outside. All the money I saved was spent on fireworks, just for the neighbors to see and hear loudly.
When did my hometown turn from a typhoon shelter into a stage? After you sing and I will appear on stage, I will always strive for a false reputation of doing well.
Lin Yue ordered a cup of cappuccino at the cafe that had a manicure business. The coffee in the town was indeed not as good as the coffee in the big cities, and the waiter's smile was not natural enough, but it was more affordable, elegant and quiet, and would not There are too many men and women who are spreading dog food.
After sitting for a while, he felt that the time was almost up. He paid out and walked along the main road towards the town government compound.
In the shade of green trees, two people, a man and a woman, walked towards the bluestone bridge in the middle of the river.
"You performed really well today. The mayor just called me to the office and told me that I had chosen the right person. If there are any similar activities in the future, I will leave it to you."
"Oh well."
"By the way, have you seen the properties that Mr. Wei invested in? They are all small units under 100 square meters. It is quite good for a family of three to live in. Just now, the comrades from the Land Office came over and asked our planning office if we wanted to buy there. If you have a house, you can apply for a group purchase, that way you can save a lot of money per square meter, what do you think?"
"Yes, Not Bad."
Zhang Zhi, director of the Planning Office, took a careful look at Wang Manni's profile and felt that she was a little absent-minded, with a perfunctory attitude towards work and his life plan.
Moreover, he seemed to be avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally in the past two days, and he was even more silent about the blind date, which made him feel like a tiger meeting a tortoise and not knowing where to start.
"Manni, what I said before..."
"Ah?" Wang Manni said, "What's going on?"
"I just want to find time for our two families to sit together and have a meal..."
"Oh, about this, I think..."
"What do you think? You think Director Xiao Zhang is putting too much pressure on you, right? Comrade Xiao Zhang is also a tough guy. If you are chasing a woman now, if you can't get her in two weeks, it's better to leave. It's a shame to be so hot-faced and cold-hearted. Woolen cloth?"
A sarcastic voice came from the nearby alley.
Zhang Zhi was stunned for a moment and looked around. He saw a man standing outside a store selling handicrafts. He was wearing a dark green leather jacket over a black T-shirt, black pants and white shoes underneath. He looked like a very young man. , but the name he was called just now...
"It's you?!"
Wang Manni's face suddenly sank as she looked at the man walking step by step.
She never expected that she would still see him after returning to her hometown. It was really haunting and annoying.
"Manni, do you know him?" Zhang Zhi asked.
"Someone I don't like," she replied.
"Of course you won't like me, because one of the things I love most is to peel off your skin so that people can see what kind of woman you are." Lin Yue ignored the strange looks from around him and walked towards Zhang Zhihe In front of Wang Manni.
"Is your name Zhang Zhi, the director of the town's planning office?"
Zhang Zhi said nothing because Wang Manni said she hated people coming, so naturally he wouldn't like it either.
"Zhang Zhi, do you think Wang Manni will fall in love with you? You did it -->>
What car? A shabby Jetta that has been driven for 89 years and doesn’t even have electric windows. Do you know what kind of car a Hong Kong rich man gave her? Cadillac XT4. Look at the windbreaker you're wearing. Does it cost 2,000 yuan? Look at the pair of high heels she is wearing. It doesn’t matter if you don’t recognize them. Let me tell you, Christian Louboutin costs 9,000+, which is more valuable than all your clothes combined. She is not used to drinking coffee in the town, because an ex-boyfriend in Shanghai prepared a cup of hand-brewed coffee that cost more than 200 yuan for her, and this money is enough to live on for four or five days. "
"Going on a cruise ship, taking out a loan to upgrade to a suite in a yacht club; attending receptions with HK rich men and drinking Lafite in 1985. More than 70% of the women in my circle of friends spend thousands of yuan on clothes without batting an eyelid. That's it. Woman, do you think you can support her without taking bribes? What is progressing too fast, what is too much pressure, what is not talking about personal matters during working hours, women’s excuses are all used to deal with men they don’t like, if you It’s that rich man from HK. Say a few words of love, tell a few romantic stories, and then put a Banyan Tree room card into her hand. I guess she doesn’t even have the mind to go to work. She might immediately ask for leave to go see you. .”
Zhang Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and the crowd watching was also in an uproar. No one thought that Wang Manni was such a person.
Wang Manni was furious: "Chen Xu, shut up."
"I feel that since it is a blind date, the personal information of both parties should be clearly stated, so as not to break up in the future if their outlook on life and values are not compatible, which would be a waste of time, money, and most importantly, feelings. And I am helping the children. Director Zhang understands you more deeply. He may be talkative, but he means well."
Kindhearted?
Yes, he was kind to Zhang Zhi, but he was cruel to Wang Manni.
"Chen Xu, I never thought that you were such a despicable and dirty person, that you would chase me from Shanghai to my hometown to slander me. You are a bastard, a mad dog!"
"Slandering you?" Lin Yue sneered.
In the TV series, Wang Manni was drinking alone by the river before leaving Shanghai and burst into tears. Why? It's very simple. After eight years of wasting time, my dream of marrying a rich man was shattered, my job was gone, and I could barely afford to pay the rent.
How pitiful...
Is it pitiful?
Poor Chacha.
Why didn't you think about it when you took out a loan to upgrade to executive class during your trip to Europe? What do you plan to do with the rent savings after moving to the suburbs? long trip! I never knew how to save some money to resist risks. All I could think about was enjoying life, pursuing refinement, increasing my knowledge to get closer to rich people, and then achieving class leap by marrying into a rich family. What in the end? He looked aggrieved after being hit hard by reality.
In contrast, the 2,000 yuan she sends to her parents every month has accumulated to 100,000 yuan.
People like her are more despicable than pitiful.
"Is what I said wrong? Is this the real you? Just like I said before you left Shanghai, can your restless heart be settled in your hometown? What? Are you not convinced? Touch your right pocket , take out the things inside and show them to Zhang Zhi, is it the business card of Wei Zhijie of Zhisheng Electronics?"
Wang Manni subconsciously put her hands in her pockets, feeling a little panicked. How did he know about this?
"Don't hide it, take it out and show it to Zhang Zhi."
Wang Manni didn't speak or act, she just looked at him coldly.
"So..." Lin Yue turned his head, looked at Zhang Zhi and said, "You have been a joke from beginning to end."
What did she say when she had dinner with Zhong Xiaoqin and Gu Jia? I went back to my hometown and asked relatives and friends to find a job. It was so smooth and stable. But then I felt that Shanghai was so spacious. It took me eight years to make two close friends.
What happens when you return to your hometown?
Zhang Zhi found her a safe job that many people wanted, but she felt it was too free. The villagers and neighbors greeted each other and showed love and care, but she felt stressed again.
In Lin Yue's opinion, whoever marries such a woman will be unlucky, so she should be single. She is responsible for herself and others.
"Having said that, it's up to you to decide whether to lick the dog or not."
Patting Zhang Zhi on the shoulder, Lin Yue left, leaving behind an embarrassed-looking Director Zhang, a frosty-faced Wang Manni, and a group of chattering onlookers.
…
Lin Yue didn't care what thoughts Wang Manni and Zhang Zhi had or how they separated. Anyway, fifteen thousand yuan and five hundred technology points would be enough.
After returning to the hotel to rest for a while and checking some information on the Internet, he walked through the night into the streets of the ancient town.
Finally it was his turn to do what he wanted to do most.
