104【City Builders】Seeking Monthly Pass

It will be more than half an hour later if you have enough wine and enough food.

Although the sake level was not high, the two of them drank three bottles, which made Li Yange's eyes a little blurred and a little drunkenness appeared on his face.

"Haha, I'm so happy today. Why don't we go to another place to drink a little more? I know there is a Kabukicho in front of me, and there is no disturbance to me. We can have a drink and chat happily."

Yuki Fujiwara was obviously happy to drink. She was not as serious as the daytime, but she looked like a drunkard. She held Li Yange's shoulder and was about to take him to a Kabukicho in front of her.

Li Yange glanced at the shop that Fujiwara was interested in, shook his head and said, "It's not too late, Mr. Fujiwara, it's getting late. I have to take a plane tomorrow at noon. If I drink too much and sleep too much, it will be bad if I miss the flight."

"It's okay, Li Sang, I'll help you change flights. Tokyo has flights to Hong Kong almost every day, and it's nothing to do if you're one day late. Besides, Li Sang, you rarely come to Japan once. As the host, I will naturally have to play with you."

Fujiwara Yuki slapped her chest and looked like she was holding a big bag. She seemed to be safe and gave it to me. She would definitely send you back to China safely.

Facing the hospitality of Fujiwara, Li Yange said with a giggle: "I really don't need Mr. Fujiwara. Although I also want to play in Japan for a few more days, you also know that the Chinese New Year will be in a few days, and I have to go back to China early to catch the train."

"Ah, that's a pity." When Fujiwara Yuki heard about the New Year, he was very clear about his expression. He could understand Li Yange's mentality when he went home for the New Year. After all, Japan also has the custom of celebrating the New Year.

Japan has been studying in China since ancient times, so there are naturally festivals like New Year. However, after the Meiji Restoration, the day of the Spring Festival in Japan was changed to January 1 to 3rd of the Western calendar every year.

Seeing that he didn't say anything about continuing to find a place to drink, Li Yange also said politely that when Fujiwara came to the mainland, he would invite him to taste Niulan Mountain in Beijing.

Fujiwara Yuki, who was still a little unsatisfied, happily agreed on the spot when he heard this.

Then the two walked out of Kabukicho, along the way, Fujiwara Yukishi

...

...

A few days later.

On the green train heading to Rongcheng, Sichuan Province, Li Yange sat in his seat and closed his eyes to rest. Several passengers were sitting beside him, staring at the young man with strange eyes.

It’s not a big deal that everyone stares at Li Yange.

Just a glance around you will know that most passengers are wearing old-fashioned satin jackets. He wears a velvet tweed coat and a black suitcase on his head, which looks like a Chinese returning to visit relatives.

Li Yange has long been accustomed to the gaze of people around him. From the day he returned to China, when he passed by the border inspection station in Shenzhen with two large black suitcases, he had become the "returning overseas Chinese" in everyone's eyes.

"Clang."

Suddenly, a sound sounded in the car.

Li Yange felt a pain in his right foot. When he opened his eyes, a middle-aged man with dark skin was carrying a big snakeskin bag and a big black pot fell on the ground.

"Sorry, sorry, I don't know the bag is loose." The man quickly apologized for his mistake.

Li Yange's toes moved, nothing big happened, it should have hit the iron pot when it fell.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are so many people returning home on the train, and it is inevitable that they will bump into each other. Li Yange did not bother him and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just be careful."

"Thank you, thank you." The man was stunned, and he didn't expect that this young man was so easy to talk to.

Seeing him put down the snakeskin bag, picked up the iron pot on the ground and stuffed it in, and was about to carry it to his shoulder again, Li Yange thought for a while and said, "Why don't you put the things at my feet?"

"Ah? No, no, no, I can carry it with great strength." The man shook his head, not because he was afraid that Li Yange would steal things, but mainly because the snakeskin bag was large. If he put it at his feet, it would be easy to block passengers from entering and leaving the front, back and left and right.

Li Yange saw the man's embarrassment and said, "It's still half an hour to arrive at the station. It's better to put it on the ground than to carry it. If someone comes over, you won't delay the problem when you lift it up."

"This..." the man hesitated for a moment, said thank you, and put the snakeskin bag on the ground.

Time passed by little by little, and the green train rushed past the railway. The thick black smoke rendered the sky through the way into ink. The high-pitched "clang clang" sound spread far and wide.

"beep--"

Suddenly, the locomotive made a long whistle.

Li Yange opened his eyes and looked out the car window, and could vaguely see the red brick factory buildings of the old industrial base in the eastern suburbs of Rongcheng.

"Here! Arrival!"

Some people who woke up found that they had arrived at the Balizhuang Railway Station in Rongcheng, stood up excitedly and shouted.

"Finally got home!"

Looking at the familiar industrial factories, the middle-aged man resting beside Li Yange's seat in the train, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, and he carried the big blue snakeskin duffel bag on the ground on his shoulder.

"Yes, I'm home." Li Yange retracted his vision outside the car window and glanced at the man standing by. After just half an hour of contact, Li Yange learned from the other party that the snakeskin bag was filled with gifts he brought back from Shenzhen, including food, clothing, and usefulness.

I also know that this dark-skinned man was the first group of workers to support Shenzhen construction after the reform and opening up. In order to make money, he chose to go home this year, who has not returned for many years.

Although the things contained in the snakeskin bag are very ordinary, this is a man’s longing for home and compensation.

Seven or eight minutes later, Balizhuang Railway Station.

The crowds of passengers walked out of the train and came to the platform. With the greeting of relatives and friends, they left with laughter and joy.

"Please trouble you, Brother Zhang." Li Yange panted and squeezed out of the crowd with a large suitcase, saying thank you to the middle-aged man who was helping around him.

"You're welcome, everyone is a fellow villager, so it's normal to help." Brother Zhang grinned, with his black and yellow teeth, and he could tell that he liked to smoke cheap homemade dry tobacco.

"Old man! Old man!"

Suddenly, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy walked over not far away under the guidance of a middle-aged woman. When the boy saw Brother Zhang, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, and his hands wide open and rushed towards Brother Zhang.

"Old man, I miss you so much!" the little boy said excitedly.

The moment Brother Zhang saw his son, he was so happy that he put down the snakeskin bag in his hand, picked up his son and said, "Boy, have you listened to your mother at home?"

The little boy nodded vigorously and said, "Some old men, I have been listening to my mother."

"So well-behaved? OK, I'll show you something good when I get home later and I'll show you something good, I'll guarantee you like it."

Looking at the warm scene between the father and son, Li Yange's heart even more aroused when he returned home. He picked up two big suitcases and smiled and said to Brother Zhang: "Brother Zhang, I won't disturb your family's reunion. I'll take the lead."

As the first batch of workers to support Shenzhen construction after the reform and opening up, Li Yange did not want to use that title to describe this dark middle-aged man. He would rather use the five words "urban builder".
