Chapter 20
The long-distance bus from Duandian Town to the city runs every half an hour. There is no fixed parking spot. You can just stop and hop on, hop off and stop. Su Xing got on the bus and looked behind. There was another spot. Su Xing
Walked back and sat down.
Looking out the window, Su Changmin was riding a bicycle in front of the bus.
The door of the bus was opened, it started, and it passed quickly. When I woke up and turned around, I saw the face of Su Changmin. It was on an uphill road. Su Changmin had a hard time stepping on it, and his buttocks were raised.
Su Xing raised his eyes and glanced at the houses on both sides of the road. The village scene seemed harmonious and peaceful, but if you look deeper, you will find that the hardships inside are unforgettable.
The bus from the town to the city costs four yuan per person. Even after more than ten years, the bus fare has increased by one yuan. Compared with other changes, it is already very authentic. And during the Chinese New Year,
From the New Year's Eve to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the price will increase by another dollar on the original price.
It can be said that he is very conscientious.
But even so, there are still people who are not satisfied and feel that they have been cheated. When they get on the bus to buy tickets, they will casually say: "Why has the price increased again? I remember it was not three yuan when I took the bus before. Why are you so casual?"
Price increase?”
This question was asked as casually as if you had eaten.
But one sentence is about caring for people, and the other sentence is full of distrust.
After driving for about 20 minutes, the car reached the embankment.
E City is a small town by the river. Where there is a river, there will naturally be embankments. Su Xing looked towards the window on the left and could see the river through a poplar forest. The water was very turbid.
A shipyard will be built here later and a gantry crane will be installed, but it doesn't seem to be very lively.
The river embankment was winding and winding. The car drove on the embankment for about ten minutes. It reached the foot of the hills one after another, which was already the edge of the city. After circling along the hills, the car finally entered the city and arrived at the terminal.
Wake up and get off the car.
There is actually not much difference between the E City now and the E City more than ten years later. The buildings in the city center have not been demolished even after more than ten years. The city is expanding to the south and east. If you want to see changes, you can only go to
Go south and east.
But it's still early days, most of them are still villages and haven't been demolished yet.
The city senior high school is located in the south of the city. The school has circled a piece of land and built a new school site. It only took two years to build. It takes about twenty minutes to get there by city bus. Su Xing held the woven bag and looked around.
, prepare to cross the road.
The bus stop to the city senior high school is right across the road.
A black Volkswagen stopped next to Su Xing, blocking the road.
Su Xing looked at the car strangely. Just as he was about to cross the road, the car drove over and happened to be in front of him, as if on purpose.
Is it possible to recognize him?
The window rolled down, and the person in the passenger seat showed his face: "How to get to the City Senior High School?"
Su Xing thought about it and felt a little embarrassed: "I know how to go, but if you want me to tell you, it's hard for me to explain. I can't explain it clearly. It takes a lot of detours."
"Are you going to the city senior high school too?" the co-pilot asked Su Xing.
"That's right, I'll go there to sign up." Su Xing nodded.
"Come up here, sit in the back and put your things in the trunk."
Su Xing was not pretentious. He walked around to the back of the car and put his luggage in the trunk. Then he opened the back door and sat in. There were two people in the back seat. When he saw Su Xing, one of them smiled at Su Xing.
After saying hello, the other person moved in rather unhappily.
"I heard that the Senior High School is the best high school in Hubei City. Can you get into it?" The person who was reluctant to move was holding a small cup with a turtle in it.
This was obviously meant for Su Xing.
Su Xing smiled: "I'm lucky, I'm just three points above the score line, so I can get in. What about you, did you three sign up for school?"
What a coincidence.
Su Xing knew these three people. They were Chen Jin and the others. He didn't expect to meet them here. It seemed like they were also going to sign up.
That day, the girl wearing a sun hat was sitting in the passenger seat. Chen Jin and another boy were sitting in the back seat. The driver of the car was unknown to him and he had no idea what his relationship was with the three of them.
"The two of us are sending Wangjun to register." Another boy said.
Wangjun, that’s this girl’s name, but I don’t know what her surname is.
Su Xing glanced at the girl. She was very tall and had short hair, which matched the name Wangjun perfectly.
When the family saw her being born, they might have been a little disappointed.
"At the traffic light ahead, turn left, then turn right at the next intersection." Su Xing looked at the road and pointed in the direction.
"Have you transferred here?" Su Xing asked the girl in the co-pilot.
"No way?" the girl choked.
"Okay, of course." Su Xing smiled, a little embarrassed. The girl didn't seem to be in a good mood.
"How did you know that I transferred here?" The girl tilted her head and glanced at Su Xing.
"Feel it." Su Xing said.
"Do you still have a sixth sense?" The girl rolled her eyes, not satisfied with Su Xing's answer.
"The accents of the three of you sound different. They are northern accents." Su Xing said.
"Can't northerners come and settle in small cities in the south?" the girl continued to ask, but she seemed to be deliberately quarreling with Su Xing.
"Of course, it's okay." Su Xing was forced to say nothing and could only continue to retreat.
The girl is a little aggressive.
The driver turned his head and glanced at the girl. The girl immediately stared at the front of the car and stopped talking.
"Uncle, go straight after this traffic light, drive for about ten minutes, then turn to the left, and after walking two or three hundred meters you will see the school gate." Su Xing mentioned it again.
"This place is really shabby. There is a village next to it." Chen Jin glanced out the window with disdain.
"It's normal to have villages on the edge of cities. Hubei City has the smallest land area among prefecture-level cities in the country. It's good to have such development," another boy said.
"E City is the smallest prefecture-level city in the country?" Chen Jin was more interested in this.
"E City is indeed the prefecture-level city with the smallest land area in the country." Su Xing interjected, "However, in terms of per capita GDP, E City can also be ranked among the top three in the province, and it is next to the provincial capital, so its development potential is still very high.
Huge.”
"What kind of development can a small run-down city have?" Chen Jin disdainfully said, "Don't the huge potential mean that it cannot develop?"
"With the development of the economy, the use of land will only become more and more tense, and the cost of land use in Jiangcheng, the provincial capital, is high. Hubei City is adjacent to Jiangcheng and close to the water. When the time comes, part of Jiangcheng's resources will definitely be located in Hubei City."
What Su Xing said would indeed happen later.
It is precisely because of this convenience that Hubei City has gained a lot of conveniences. Many branch campuses of universities in Jiangcheng have also ended up in Hubei City.
