Chapter 145: The tree-lined road in memory (5)
Zhang Xingming was depressed and looked at the two girls who were laughing angrily, feeling hatred in his heart: Brothers will grow up, buddies will grow up soon, and then they will swollen your butts and make you laugh.
Shopping malls in various places have opened. At this stage, the most things happen in the village of Cupxi. They have to make products and stock up. They have to get a lot of documents every day. Zhang Xingming didn't bother them. After sitting for a while, he went back to his elder sister's house to sleep.
After dinner in the evening, Zhang Xingming was pulled out to go shopping by his elder sister and Miao Li. Zhang Xingming was so depressed. After 1984, he really went shopping and had nothing. The mall was still open at his own home. Why are you shopping?
Walk along the road and look at the trees and old buildings on both sides of the road? At this time, the road is full of big trees, and there are many poplar trees in the northeast, which are tall and tall. It has sprouted and green in the end of April. In summer, the entire road will be covered in the shade of trees. No matter how hot the sun is, it is powerless in front of the tree-lined avenue. When the leaves turn yellow in autumn, a thick layer of mat will be laid on the ground. It is very comfortable to walk on it, and sanitation workers will suffer a little.
In the 1990s, I couldn't remember which year it was. Overnight, the big poplar trees were cut down and planted on sycamore trees. Later, they cut down and replaced the willow trees. There was no more shade. Gradually, there were no trees left. In summer, I could only walk under the scorching sun.
Just because this secretary likes Wutong and that secretary likes willow trees, no matter whether he can live or not, it has any impact on the lives of the people. In fact, there are countless such things all over the country, but a group of prodigal sons can't do anything other than waste of money. This is understandable. The tree-lined avenue can only be seen and appreciated, otherwise they have to go abroad.
Looking up at the poplar trees taller than the building, Zhang Xingming thought of the bare and hot streets in later generations, Lin * on the computer desktop couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The eldest sister thought he was walking slowly, so she reached out to pull him and said, "What's the point of seeing the broken poplar tree?"
Zhang Xingming sighed and said in his heart that there was nothing waiting. You know what the broken poplar tree has to look at. He pointed at the poplar tree and said to Miao Li: "Sister Miao Li, remember this. If you have the chance, you will tell the government people, just say what I said. If the government wants to cut down these rows of trees, we will withdraw our investment from the Cup Creek. I don't care about other places, just this piece, these rows."
The eldest sister looked at him and said, "What's wrong with this? What's wrong with these broken poplar trees? She even withdraws her investment. I don't want to build so many buildings?"
Zhang Xingming thought for a while and sighed, saying, "Try to keep as much as possible. I think they can give you this little face. Sister, don't you think that in summer, this big tree is beautiful and shaded? If it is cut off, you will have to face the sun in the future."
The eldest sister nodded and said, "Yes, it's good that Xia Yingtian has a little shade."
Miao Li asked, "Do you really want to say that?" Zhang Xingming said, "That's not the case, it's just a meaning, just saying that I like these trees and want to keep them." Miao Li nodded and understood.
Walking south along the road, after passing the turntable, it was Yongfeng. Miao Li and her elder sister pulled Zhang Xingming to the side of the construction site to see the workers busy working. The machinery and equipment roared, and trucks of earth and stone were transported away. The elder sister asked, "Why are you digging that deep pit? Build a reservoir?"
Miao Li also asked: "Yes, what's the use of digging that big hole? You have to spend money to transport the soil. Where did the soil be sorted out?"
Zhang Xingming moved the muscles on his face and replied helplessly: "That is an underground warehouse and parking lot. The dirt is used to fill the valley. The town has to pay for it, so it can be considered sold."
The village is a mountainous area. It is a little flat in the city, and it keeps going uphill and downhill. After the city, it is full of mountains and almost no flat ground. The soil and stones are bought by the town to fill it into the ravine and artificially manufacture flat ground. However, the price at this time is better than nothing.
The eldest sister asked again: "Warehouse and parking lot? How tide is it? It's not bright yet (sunshine). Why not build it on the ground? Such a large piece of land."
Zhang Xingming looked at his elder sister and said, "You need to build something else on the ground. Warehouses and parking lots can be placed anywhere. Build underground to save ground space. Putting it on the ground is too wasteful, so you can build a lot of houses."
Miao Li nodded from the side and said, "That's right, you can make more money by building more houses, but that's too deep, right? Is it so big? How many cars do you have to put in?"
Zhang Xingming looked at the pit and said, "There are few cars now, and there will be more cars in a few years. I still think it's small and I can't get any bigger." Miao Li stuck out her tongue and said, "You're so far." The eldest sister was proud and held Zhang Xingming in her arms and hugged her.
The three of them stood by the construction site and watched for a long time. The searchlights on the construction site were lit up, making the construction site shiny. Zhang Xingming stood numb and said, "We are coming out to see them dig holes? It's dark and you're not cold either." There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in April and May.
The eldest sister said, "I haven't seen it, are you cold? Then let's go back." The three of them walked back. There were some people who were pushing carts to sell snacks on the side of the road, including roasted sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes), marshmallows, sugar, etc., popcorn and puffed corn strips. Miao Li went over and bought three roasted sweet potatoes, and the three of them took them to eat while walking.
I walked to the railway station square and followed the road ahead to the joint venture company. While walking, Zhang Xingming looked around. The underground shopping mall in front of the station will be repaired next year. The road to the north of the station will be built on the Global Building next year. It became the most awesome building in Beixi City that year. The inside and outside were decorated with glass. The shopping mall business inside was booming and was popular until the late 1990s.
Zhang Xingming still remembers that there was a crossing passage in the middle of the building, and there was a sold fried chicken legs inside. At that time, he was the biggest enjoyment of buying fried chicken legs from Gunxi. There was an audio-visual street on the back of the building, which sold tapes and so on. Zhang Xingming's first Andy Lau album in his last life was bought here, and it cost 26 yuan.
The Guxi Global Building and the underground mall in front of the station were the earliest places where individual business concentrated in Guxi, which created countless rich people. They all operated in the form of counter rental, solved the employment problems of a large number of unemployed people and promoted the development of Guxi Business. At that time, the Global mall was mainly electrical shopping malls, and the underground mall was clothing, shoes and hats, and was the most concentrated in Guxi Business. Then there were Yongfeng Commercial Street and Dongming Pedestrian Street. That was the beginning of the 1990s.
Now that Zhang Xingming has developed the Yongfeng plot in advance, he is a little looking forward to it. Can this Global Building be built? What will it be like? Will it still be as popular as in the previous life? What about the underground shopping mall? Hehe, after walking on other people's paths, I really want to see how others walk.
After a walk around, the three of them returned to the mall. Although it was almost May, they were still a little cold after staying outside for a long time. Fortunately, the heating in the mall was burned by themselves and was still heating. If the government's unified heating area had already stopped.
The next day, Zhang Xingming took his elder sister and Miao Li to the house of Secretary Series for dinner. Secretary Series had great hope for the development of Yongfeng area. In the early 1980s, the government's biggest headache was two things: the development of the local economy and employment issues. Secretary Series hoped that the development of the Yongfeng area could help the government solve these two major problems.
