When Xu Xiake said these words, everyone basically explained the past of the poor people in Xijing City clearly. When Song Siyuan looked at the rickshaw on the street again, the last bit of resistance in her heart disappeared, and she even felt a little guilty and regretful towards him. I didn’t give two more yuan.
She remembered the hearty laughter of the old men in Guanzhong before entering the city. There was no trace of bitterness or anger on their faces. Now that she thought about it, they had accepted their fate. They might not hate the wine and rice bags in the government, but ordinary people with flat heads could not treat them. Whatever you do, you can only comfort yourself that suffering a loss is a blessing. If you get a good child in the next life, your life will be easier.
The so-called cheerful and open-minded is nothing more than living a stable life without help!
Today, these poor people have to promote the ancient city of Xijing to outsiders when they see them, so that outsiders can go into the city. In this way, they can make more money through small business. It can be said that Xijing's prosperity and modernity are obtained by sucking their blood. , thinking of this, I have to say it is extremely ironic.
"Although the world is unkind and regards all things as rotten dogs, once there is a disturbance, it is the ordinary people who suffer. When I see these, I can only sigh and do nothing."
Speaking of this, Xu Xiake was quite disappointed. Yue Guanchao heard the meaning of his words and asked: "Brother Xu, it's true that every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. It's true that these people are pitiful and pitiful." , had they not been short-sighted and traded compromises for benefits, they wouldn’t be where they are today.”
"I, anyway, give more every time I take the bus. Maybe I can buy two more pancakes so that their family can eat better. It can also be regarded as the blessings I have accumulated for my merits."
"You young people, you can't stop chatting every time you talk, from Tian Ling Gai to hip shaft. If you have time to grind your teeth to interrupt your time, you should hurry up and catch up on your sleep. You haven't had any rest since yesterday. Don't forget us. Why are you here? After you have rested, I have to take you to the Chaofeng Village of the Chao Family to see if the Chao Family has something for us."
Yue Qingshan leaned half of his body into the guest room, saw everyone there, and said with a pipe.
"Second uncle, you and Sun Daqiao are old, so you should sleep more. We young people are not pretentious and we still have to catch up on our sleep."
Old Yue Tou couldn't understand what Yue Guanchao said. He laughed a few times and glanced at his evil nephew: "You brat talks a lot, get up your posture and practice your legs and feet. You are not as capable as me. You are so smooth-talking." What’s the use?”
"Okay, okay, you and Sun Daqiao go to bed first."
Seeing that they were determined not to sleep, Yue Qingshan took a few puffs from his cigarette holder and returned to his room. After he left, Xu Xiake said, "Let's go, I will take you to the bell tower and let you see the poor people in Xijing City. Where do you live~"
Yue Guanchao thought that the sun had not risen at this hour, so they probably couldn't sleep, so he simply followed Xu Xiake to look at the ancient building. When they came back, it was already afternoon, and by that time, the second uncle and the others had already finished their sleep.
After some planning, they locked the door and got off the elevator. After exiting the Love Inn, they stood at the intersection of South Street.
This street used to be the Shang'an Gate in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, with a width of up to 100 meters. Although it has now been reduced to 50 meters wide, people standing on the street and looking into the distance are straight and spacious, and the thoroughfares are bright. You can still feel the former imperial city. The momentum of Tianjie.
Yue Guanchao browsed around. There were few residential buildings on both sides of South Street. They were all modern pavilions with several stories high. They were either tall towers with red bricks and green tiles, or archways with cornices and brackets. They mixed Western and classical styles in rows. There are rows of dead winter trees on both sides of the street.
Countless modern light boxes are set up on the outer buildings, with colorful flags flying in front of the sign shops. There are also side streets extending into the alleys. There are hundreds of shops inside, including a variety of businesses, provincial guild halls, banquets and entertainment, and department store buildings. If you look at it from a high altitude , the entire commercial street is like a fish bone, with South Street as the central axis and spreading towards the Guanlukou lanes on both sides, forming a layered and complex street commercial scene.
In such a bustling business district, how could Song Siyuan miss the opportunity to take a photo? She picked up her camera and clicked a photo, saying, "Streets designed like this are mostly found in cities with open ports in the south. They focus on the layout of the central axis and the addition of green parks." , the whole block refers to the European urban construction style. Although the Xijing government does not do much for the poor, it does pay attention to the urban planning."
They talked as they walked. When the bus came, they put down their coins and walked to the end of South Street. The bell tower was already in front of them.
The location of the bell tower is right at the center of the ancient city of Xijing. Starting from the bell tower, you can travel in all directions and traverse the entire city.
The entire Bell Tower is slightly smaller than the Drum Tower. It is built on a square blue brick platform. It is a French-style attic building with double eaves and four corners with pointed roofs. It has green tiles and red paint, painted beams and carved pillars, with flying wing corners and bells hanging from the bottom. Most of the residences are under the glazed lotus roof.
At first glance, the green-tiled golden roof is hidden among the gray mansions. It looks like it stands out among the chickens. It can be said that it is majestic, tall and elegant.
