Chapter 505: That Year in Nanjing City, That Year's Youth
"What's this yard?"
Li Dong didn't expect it at this time, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. It wasn't that the construction was not completed yet, but now he has seen that the outside has been taken care of and the doors and windows have been decorated.
"How about it?"
Huang Shengnan said with a smile. "It was finally built before school starts. Come in and take a look. Sister Zhang and I have been busy for several days. Let's see if we like the furniture we chose."
The yard is not too big, but it has parking spaces, a flower pond, a pavilion, a winding waterway and a small bridge, a few osmanthus trees, and the road is a winding path paved with rain flowers and stones.
There are also a few Taihu stones in the yard, which Huang Shengnan asked someone to get, and a few plum trees dotted them. "Fast come in and take a look."
“Ming style furniture?”
Li Dong is not a novice in furniture now, but he is not sure whether it is a real Ming Dynasty furniture or an antique. There are several small houses on both sides of the five big houses, which is the most satisfying to Li Dong. There is also a large backyard.
It is estimated that there is half an acre of land, a chicken shed and duck house was built, and a piece of it was kept as a vegetable garden. Li Dongxin said, this is very good, although it is leisure in the front yard and labor in the back yard. "There is Nanda behind it."
It was indeed separated by a wall. Li Dongxin said that this place was really good.
"I really didn't expect it to be built so soon."
In addition to furniture, there are all kinds of daily necessities, refrigerators, washing machines, TVs, coal stoves, stoves, firewood, rice noodles, and water tanks. They are all ready, and even dishes are ready.
It’s a pity that there are no dishes in the refrigerator. Li Dong looked at it and found that there were three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one study, two small warehouses, and a kitchen. It’s really good. Of course, the decoration was very simple these days, but with ceramic tiles, there were only a little less ceramic tiles.
The small square tiles on the wall are larger, the floor is 20 by 20, and the project volume is quite large. I didn’t expect it to be so fast. “Are you busy here these days?”
"Um."
"No wonder I've lost weight. Let's go, I'll invite you to eat Xiaolong buns and salted ducks to make up for it."
Li Dong grabbed Huang Sheng's hand.
"Slow down, put things in order first."
"No, let's talk about it later."
“And bikes?”
He was really ready, Huang Shengnan smiled. "This place is very close to Nanda, but it takes some time to walk around in a circle. I think it's hard to ride a motorcycle, so I bought you a bicycle, which is more convenient and not ostentatious."
"That's great. I'll ride you and let's go out for a walk."
It will be less than five o'clock and I will have a walk and have dinner earlier.
After closing the door, Li Dong rode his bicycle and took Huang Shengnan out of the yard. He rode his bicycle around and walked around to the gate of Nanda in front, not far from this. "What are the fun places around?"
"It's fun, I don't know, but there is a place you will definitely like."
Huang Shengnan said with a smile.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go."
Li Dong held the bicycle and pedaled, and the bike slid. "You show the way."
During the journey, Li Dong looked at Nanjing in the late 1970s. It was evening. When I got off work, all kinds of bread seemed like buses, most of which were much smaller than those with braided trams.
The bus stops are better than the workers waiting to get off work, and the citizens are mainly dressed in blue and gray, with a few embellished with some colors. From a distance, they look dark and waiting for the bus to bring them. There are some parked on the side of the road with "taxis" - tricycles.
There are also many people riding bicycles, most of whom are wearing good and neat clothes. It is still difficult for ordinary citizens to buy bicycles in this year. After all, only one bicycle ticket can be found for about a hundred people. If you don’t have a ticket, you can’t buy it unless you buy a second-hand one with a high price.
In addition, if you don’t have a ticket, you will definitely be able to buy a bicycle, and you can wait until you have the goods. Besides, bicycles are not cheap, and ordinary workers can save for a few years to buy. Li Dong rode a bicycle and carried Huang Shengnan by the bus stop, which attracted many young people’s envious eyes.
Passing by the Gulou Square and the reviewing stand, there are photos of great men hanging on it. There are some cars, Beijing 212, and Shanghai licensed cars, but not many, some, trucks, and even horse-drawn carriages.
Well, this is the city center. When Li Dong quickly passed the turntable and walked through Xinjiekou, Li Dong looked at the surrounding buildings not quite high, and the five or six floors were already considered high. Unfortunately, the Jinling Hotel has not been built yet.
"Zhongshan Road Street?"
Li Dong is familiar with this street, but he is not very familiar with the others. He turns to the side of the road and rides the bike all the way. Li Dong remembers that this place is not far from Confucius Temple. Unfortunately, Confucius Temple has been destroyed now and it will take a wait for the 1980s to restore it.
"here it is?"
"Tangzi Street."
Huang Shengnan found out clearly that there will be stalls here in the evening, selling some books, and of course some speculative people. They usually sell old books, but some departments don’t care much and turn a blind eye.
This place is half public, but when the limelight is tight, it will be expelled and confiscated. Usually, when the limelight passes, many stalls can gather here. "Old Book Market."
"Go and see."
Li Dongxin said that this place is not lazy, but Li Dong has checked some information. There are also used book stalls in Hankou Road in front of Nanda Gate and in Nanda Normal University. I just don’t know when it will appear, and I thought it will appear in two years.
Unexpectedly, there was already here. Li Dong took a walk around. He had no serious books, but some were included in the era books. During the Guangxu period and the Xianfeng period, Li Dong bought some, but the price was not high.
A few cents, the highest price is only more than one yuan. Li Dong usually takes it for less than one yuan. Even if these books are not sold, it is good to decorate the storefront and it is not a loss.
Unfortunately, the Qinhuai River is still restored, so it would be nice to go to the Qinhuai River with Huang Shengnan.
"well."
The two of them did not dare to visit for a long time, and were afraid that there would be no seats in the state-owned hotel for dinner. As expected, when they entered the store, Li Dong and Huang Shengnan were stunned. Some people looked at each other, and they had revolutionary friendship and spiritual communication.
"I'll go buy groceries."
"I'll take a seat."
“Operation separate.”
Li Dong glanced at the meat dumplings that were served today, but unfortunately there were no meat buns, but there were sliced pork and ducks. Not bad. When I came to the front, I had to queue up. This guy had to order food, and finally rushed Li Dong.
"A duck, a piece of meat, and a pound of meat dumplings."
Li Dong quickly took out the food coupon and came, and the good guy finally bought it, holding the ticket and waiting to receive the food.
"Li Dong has two locations here."
"Okay, you take it first."
This guy has a square table, so eight people can sit at one table, and all the good guys are squeezed together. At this time, there is no pretentiousness in later generations. One person occupies one table. There is nothing wrong with the food. It is not afraid of being unable to place the food. Generally, it is good to order two or three dishes from a family of four or five.
Sometimes the family of three or four ordered a dish, and Li Dong even brought two bottles of soda and brought it over. The deskmate looked at Li Dong and the other two. What a luxury guy. The old cadre next to him looked at him and shook his head when he saw it.
Now that you are young, you are too luxurious, and you don’t know how to save money. The two young people on the other side have a little envy, so they ordered a bowl of dumplings, which is good. Usually, the guy who comes to a state-owned hotel can brag in the factory for half a month.
“Try the duck.”
"Drink soda."
"Not enough."
"Enough is enough."
One pound of dumplings was put into six large bowls, and it took up one-third of the table. Li Dong and Huang Shengnan were not polite and were a little hungry, especially when Li Dong squeezed into the bus and rode a bicycle. This guy killed two large bowls of dumplings in one breath, and then tasted the duck.
The taste is average, it is better to have a slice of pork, but Huang Shengnan likes it very much. "It's a pity that I didn't eat crab roe buns."
Crab roe buns, good guy, this young guy is really good at eating. Crab roe buns, this good thing is not cheap. Most people don’t have the courage to eat, and the price is high. Li Dong ate by his side and looked at the state-owned hotel. This restaurant is good, which is bigger and cleaner than Chicheng.
There are more people coming and going. After all, there are fewer restaurants in small cities, so there are more people. Just like eating and fighting, Li Dong and Huang Shengnan have not finished eating, but the chairs are stepped on by people.
People were waiting to take up the spot, so Li Dong saw that he had almost finished eating. "The duck was packed."
"Pack?" The deskmate saw Li Dong take out a piece of oil paper and wrap it in a few seconds, stuff it into a canvas bag, and give it up. There is no activity at night, and the nightlife is still quite single now. However, some fashionable youths will gather together to dance and dance.
"Nanjing City."
I came. The next morning, Li Dong and Huang Shengnan went to Xuanwu Lake Park, rowed a yellow duck boat and took photos, and found a state-owned breakfast shop to eat Xiaolongbao. Unfortunately, this store did not have crab roe bread, and it was said that the season was not up.
It’s so a pity that Li Dong and the others went to the People’s Mall again. There were still a lot of things in the People’s Mall on the third floor. Li Dong bought some specialties and gave them to Huang Shengnan to bring them to Xiaojuan, and also took a bus to eat on the way.
In the morning, Li Dong and Huang Shengnan called a tricycle and came to the train station to take Huang Shengnan into the station. Only then did Li Dong reluctantly walk towards the new point of Nanda University.
"classmate."
"Hello, hello, I just arrived."
It will be almost noon to pick up people here to have dinner, and there will be not many trains to arrive at the station.
"Which department are you?"
"Director of Biotechnology."
Li Dong took out the notice, and Hu Lixin took the notice and registered it. "We have to wait a moment, everyone is going to have a meal, you can sit down first."
"Thanks."
"I haven't had lunch, I have cookies here."
Li Dong took the biscuit and thanked him, and asked his name. Hu Lixin, who was wearing sophomore, was definitely fashionable now. Her shoes were sneakers, short hair, and she was pretty. Li Dongxin said that she seemed a little rustic in this outfit.
The blue pants, the Yeliang shirt and labor protection shoes were originally thought that the school students would wear simpler, but after thinking too much, Li Dong muttered.
Hu Lixin and Li Dong chatted without a word, and learned that Li Dong was from the countryside. "Have you completed the procedures for transferring your household registration?"
"I won't turn."
"ah?"
Hu Lixin looked surprised when she didn't transfer her household registration.
"Don't get me wrong, my situation is a bit special."
"oh."
Hu Lixin muttered in his heart, looking at this person, but he didn't expect that he came from the countryside, but why didn't he transfer the household registration? Forget it, maybe he has some difficulties. I haven't heard of not changing the household registration this year, especially the rural college entrance examination is the only way to become a city person.
After waiting here for more than an hour, the people who were having dinner also came back. They took two more trains and finally could go back to school.
"Go back?"
Li Dong was confused. This is too revolutionary. Forget it, just go, not far.
Chapter completed!
