192. The past is like smoke

There are only two stops from the alley from Yaoyuan's home to the park.

Come out from the entrance of the courtyard, walk past the alley with blue bricks, about one and a half meters wide, and then you will reach the street.

This alley is called Cuijia Hutong, which is said to have a history of more than 300 years. The walls on both sides of the alley have fallen off and repaired, and have been repeated many times. The mottled and fallen areas reveal blue bricks, red bricks, or adobe walls, and are covered with lime painted outside, which are covered in white.

At the entrances of each courtyard, white bluestone carvings, horse-tie piles, gate-guarding beasts, and gate-post bases all reveal the vicissitudes of the past century. Even the blue brick carvings under the eaves on the door also reveal simplicity and solemnity.

The blue brick pavement underground was transformed in modern times. According to the old people, the underground was originally paved with bluestone slabs, and the soles of the shoes that were walking back and forth were polished to the brightness, which was a reflection of people.

Because of this, the bluestone slab is too smooth and always slips the pedestrians. Finally, the bluestone slab is turned on and replaced with blue bricks to pave the floor.

The blue bricks in the middle of the road have long been worn off, which is much lower than the sides of the road.

If you don’t look closely, this is a dilapidated street. If you look carefully, you will find that many objects hidden inside it are quaint and vicissitudes.

Yao Yuanzheng discussed with the leaders of the Municipal Cultural Center that Yao Yuan invested in collecting a large number of photos of ancient cities in the past, hiring famous painters from all over the country to paint these ancient streets and alleys, beautify them on the paintings, remove the sewage and dilapidation, and hold a series of paintings and photography exhibitions in ancient cities.

Yao Yuan did this simply to use the beauty of this ancient city to resonate with everyone and attract the attention of senior management. Don’t make the previous mistakes again and demolish the ancient city and build a tall building.

This kind of cultural heritage will never be restored if you demolish it.

Deputy Secretary Ma has reached his age and has retreated to the second line and cannot play a big role. He can only attract everyone's attention through media publicity, which can be regarded as a charity he has done for this city.

After coming out of this ancient alley, there is a street where people come and go.

This street is called Hexi Second Street. Because there are three such streets in Hexi, it ranks second. It is still paved with bluestone, and it still has simplicity and vicissitudes. If you repair it, it is really no second to any street in an ancient city.

Walking eastward along this ancient street, you will see the asphalt road built along the river, which is a product of the early liberation.

Walk south along the asphalt road for more than a mile and you will reach the entrance of the park.

At that time, the park still needed tickets. The tickets had increased to 15 cents from the five points when Kang Kang and Yao Yuan first arrived at the park.

As soon as Yao Yuan walked to the streets of Second Street, he heard a little girl behind him shouting: "Su Chunrong, can you walk quickly?"

Su Chunrong is an extremely ordinary and vulgar name. But to Yao Yuan, this name is not ordinary at all.

Because the name of the object he had in his previous life was Su Chunrong.

Yao Yuan couldn't help but turn around. A familiar figure was gradually walking towards him in the distance.

That's right, although he is still very young, it is very different from the familiar Su Chunrong. However, that figure and appearance are the familiar Su Chunrong.

Yao Yuan looked at Su Chunrong walking in the distance and was a little stunned. He stood there, just watching her walking towards him in a daze.

When Su Chunrong was about to walk in front of him, he turned his direction and walked towards the other two girls standing together, about the same age as her. Then, the three girls gathered together and walked towards a clothing store at the intersection.

Ah, Yao Yuan suddenly remembered that Su Chunrong should have just turned 18 this year. It was when she started working and entered the mining machine.

When Yao Yuan met Su Chunrong, Su Chunrong was already twenty-five years old. It was the seventh year he was assigned to a mining machine after graduating from college. He was four years older than Su Chunrong.

At that time, Yao Yuan worked as the workshop director in the equipment maintenance workshop, and Su Chunrong worked as a turning worker there.

The twenty-five-year-old Su Chunrong is still not married or has no partner. The family introduced her many partners, but she has not married. Either she doesn't like someone else, or she doesn't like her.

This is what the two of them will do in the future, and Su Chunrong told him himself.

Su Chunrong has an average appearance, slender eyes, single eyelids, a high nose bridge, and a very white face.

What attracted Yao Yuan was her slender figure and quiet personality, and the temperament composed of slender eyes and high nose bridge. Especially her thin lips, she was often pursed and her lips were raised, giving people a feeling of perseverance.

Yao Yuan is the boss of the repair workshop and often deals with Su Chunrong. Su Chunrong has good driving skills and high-precision work in the workshop. Yao Yuan always asks her to do it and goes to guide her from time to time. After a while, the two of them gradually get familiar with each other.

Yao Yuan is twenty-nine, and he is not as good as the ones, but he is not as good as the other. The two of them are suffering from the same illness.

Sometimes when I work overtime for a difficult job, Su Chunrong and Yao Yuan are often left in the workshop. After a while, there are a lot of gossip.

At that time, Yao Yuan was devoted to his work and rarely cared about what others said. For some reason, a big girl like Su Chunrong didn't care about this, nor did she avoid staying alone with Yao Yuan.

Thinking about it now, she had already liked Yao Yuan in her heart and wanted others to pass the gossip to the truth.

Sometimes, when Su Chunrong encounters difficult work, he sees that Yao Yuan has no intention of leaving in the office of the workshop director. So he deliberately slows down his work and waits hard for the other workers in the workshop to get off work, leaving only her and Yao Yuan.

In fact, at that time, Yao Yuan seemed to understand Su Chunrong's meaning, deliberately sent everyone else away and waited for her.

After finishing work and after dinner, Yao Yuan would invite Su Chunrong to a restaurant outside for a meal, then carry her on a bicycle and take her back to the dormitory.

Su Chunrong's parents are not mining machinery workers. She is from the city. After being admitted to junior high school technical school, she was assigned to the mining machinery industry. Her family lives in Hedong District. She doesn't usually go home, so she lives in a single dormitory in the factory and will only go home on Sundays.

After a while, the two of them were no longer familiar, but no one mentioned the relationship between them.

Until a year later, Yao Yuan was transferred to the factory office building as the general dispatcher. The only time he used his power to transfer Su Chunrong to the workshop office as a documentary.

Three months later, Yao Yuan was transferred from the repair workshop, but the two still did not mention the relationship between each other.

Su Chunrong was embarrassed to mention it. Because Yao Yuan was a cadre and had a much higher status, she was afraid that Yao Yuan would just be with her to relieve her boredom, so she didn't have the intention of being with her.

Yao Yuan didn't mention it because he felt that although he was a little attached to Su Chunrong, there seemed to be some gap between Su Chunrong and his wife.

One is that there is a cultural gap. Su Chunrong is just a technical school student and he is a college student. The other is that he always feels that Su Chunrong is a little petty, as if he is playing hide-and-seek with him. He is still hesitant whether to determine the relationship between the two?

After all, it was not as open as it is now, and the two of them were not young anymore. Once they established a relationship, they had to be responsible and marry someone.

Shortly after Yao Yuan went to work as the general dispatcher, Su Chunrong came to him, but he still did not mention the matter between the two, but only said to come and see him.

It was already afternoon after get off work, so Yao Yuan invited her to dinner, but she didn't refuse.

During the meal, Su Chunrong told Yao Yuan that her parents were going to force her to get married. The man was from the city, had the only son, worked in the municipal party committee, and his family was quite rich. The man promised her that after getting married, he transferred her to work in the municipal party committee.

The only disadvantage is that the man is married for a second marriage and is accompanied by a three-year-old boy. The mother at home is paralyzed and is ill in bed all year round and needs someone to take care of her. The father is not young anymore, his legs and feet are not smooth, and he also needs someone to take care of her.

The man told her that after she was transferred to the agency, she had a very leisurely job and could go home after having nothing to do. Her main task was to take care of her parents at home and pick up the children to kindergarten.

Both old men have to rely on her to take care of them, and they have to marry a second-married man who is older than her. How can they live in the future?

Yao Yuan still has feelings for Su Chunrong, so he felt sorry for her situation after marriage. Now he was cruel and confessed to Su Chunrong that he wanted to marry her and take care of her for the rest of his life.

As for whether the story Su Chunrong told was true or false, Yao Yuan never understood it.

Sometimes, he suspected that Su Chunrong was deliberately telling such a story to win his sympathy, forcing him to speak, and break the current embarrassing relationship between the two.

But he did not have sufficient evidence. When he thought of this, he always felt a little uncomfortable and always felt that Su Chunrong was playing tricks on him again.

This also affected him wholeheartedly loving Su Chunrong and not holding the hearts of the two people together.

Therefore, when talking about marriage, Su Chunrong's parents proposed to buy a house. Yao Yuan did not agree to the bride price of how much money he would give.

The key is that he doesn't have that much money and cannot meet the requirements of Su Chunrong's family.

But Su Chunrong’s family doesn’t understand. You work in a big factory and can’t even afford a house or a bride price. Who believes it?

Therefore, if Yao Yuan did not agree to their conditions, Su Chunrong's parents would not allow his daughter to marry Yao Yuan.

Yao Yuan is not like other cadres. He has so much money, but he really can't afford so much money.

Su Chunrong was not bad. She lived with Yao Yuan under the pressure of her parents.

Yao Yuan is still very grateful to Su Chunrong for this. A girl who dared to make such a great determination to break up with her parents for his sake is enough to see that if Su Chunrong loves him sincerely, he cannot let down the girl's sincerity.

Later, the two lived together for a long time. However, Su Chunrong's parents hid their household registration book, making it impossible for them to formally register and complete the final ceremony.

In such a situation, a big girl, for his sake, wanted to follow him, Yao Yuan would remember this friendship for the rest of her life. Although, after he was paralyzed from work injury, Su Chunrong still chose to leave him, and he did not hate her.

From then on, I have to take care of a man who has no sense in the lower body. Who can accept this?

Yao Yuan heard from his parents that Su Chunrong was determined to take care of him for the rest of his life, but his parents were unwilling to implicate her. After all, this was a big deal that ruined someone’s life!

If Su Chunrong doesn't come to see her again, in addition to having to go to work every day, the most likely reason is that her parents and her brother and sister-in-law know about Yao Yuan's paralysis, she may have put her under house arrest and she can't get out.
