Chapter 860: First Arrival in Jiangbei
Jiangbei City, Railway Station.
The construction of Jiangbei Railway Station is just as Li Yi remembered, except that Jiangbei Railway Station is more magnificent after more than 20 years. After the reconstruction on the original basis, the designer of Jiangbei Railway Station also won an international award.
Even before the reconstruction, Jiangbei Railway Station was already magnificent enough.
Li Yi was not a newcomer. Although Jiangbei in his impression was a developed city with well-connected subway lines and clean buses, it was once rated as a civilized city and was considered a very good second-tier city. However, the current Jiangbei is not bad either. The streets are clean and hygienic, and there are not so many chaos at the exit of the railway station, because the current railway station has only been built for a few years.
The old railway station was converted into a museum, which is a good attraction.
After walking out of the station, Li Yi took Xu Qingnan to contact a friend introduced to him by Wang Gaohua.
He came to the side of the telephone booth and dialed the number Wang Gaohua gave to Li Yi. It didn't take long, just a few seconds, before someone answered the phone.
The person who answered the phone was a woman.
"Hello? Hello, who is this?"
Li Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Teacher Wang Xian, right? I'm Li Yi, Uncle Wang asked me to come to Jiangbei City to find you first..."
Wang Xian paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I remember, you're here, right? I'll be there soon, you guys wait for me at the train station now... I'm really sorry, I'm a little busy here..."
Li Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, you go ahead, I'll find a place to stay, and then tell you the address, come find us when you're free!"
Wang Xian smiled and said, "Thank you, sorry, I'm really sorry! Then give me the address later!"
Li Yi responded and then hung up the phone.
I didn't expect this teacher to be so busy, and I felt embarrassed to bother him.
However, Xu Qingnan came to apply for the exam this time. The teacher was very clear about the registration situation. For Xu Qingnan, or for Li Yi's favor, they used up a special recruitment quota. In fact, the special recruitment exam is strictly more difficult, involving a lot of professional and convenient knowledge. Fortunately, Xu Qingnan has made relative preparations in advance, and Li Yi also helped Xu Qingnan make detailed plans, so there is no need to panic now.
For Xu Qingnan, this exam is of great significance. He must pass the exam to live up to the favor owed by Li Yi to Wang Gaohua.
Li Yi doesn't care. Anyway, Wang Gaohua has helped him a lot, and there will always be opportunities to repay him in the future, so he has always told Xu Qingnan that it doesn't matter, and there is no need to worry.
But can Xu Qingnan not be nervous if he says he is not nervous? Of course it is impossible...
Li Yi took Xu Qingnan to a hotel with good environment and conditions. It costs 30 yuan a night, which is actually not cheap. However, Li Yi brought more than 10,000 yuan with him this time, as well as a passbook and bank card, so he is naturally not short of money.
After booking a standard room that was considered superior, Li Yi borrowed the phone number of the hotel front desk and told the teacher named Wang Xian where they were staying, and then planned to take Xu Qingnan out for a walk.
Wang Xian said that he would come to them in two hours, take them to the school, and then explain the time and process of the exam. There were still two hours left, so Li Yi took Xu Qingnan directly to the nearby small commodity market.
For Xu Qingnan, this place was very familiar. It seemed that there was a similar market in Jiangnan City, but the price was obviously cheaper. The price in Jiangbei City seemed to be higher. The specific reason was unclear.
Li Yi looked around and then found a bulletin board with a map of the city next to it. He immediately realized that there was a tourist attraction next to it. What exactly was the tourist attraction? Li Yi didn't know. It seemed that he had never seen this Qingteng Park after thirty years.
Qingteng Park was demolished at the beginning of the 21st century and built into the largest landmark building at that time, Jiangbei Tower.
This Jiangbei Tower is a landmark building and a tourist attraction. It should be planned now. That is to say, the demolition of Qingteng Park has entered the countdown.
As a tourist attraction that is about to be demolished, the people who are running and exercising in the park, as well as the old men who are playing chess, don’t know that this place that originally gave people a warm feeling is about to be gone forever.
"Sister, let’s go in and take a look?"
Xu Qingnan looked at the park and frowned immediately, and asked subconsciously: "Isn’t this just a park? There is one near our community... Is there anything special?"
Li Yi shrugged his shoulders and said: "It is indeed very special, because it is about to be demolished..."
To be demolished soon? What does it mean? Xu Qingnan was even more confused.
Li Yi said in a deep voice: "This park will be demolished in a few years. The government has planned a tourist attraction. It seems to be called something tower. Anyway, the next time we come, we probably won’t be able to see it..."
Xu Qingnan nodded, suddenly realized, and said: "Then let’s go, go in and take a look!"
The park doesn’t cover a large area, but there are many trees, which make it look lush and green. There are also many children flying kites. There is a large open space in the middle, which is enough for the kites to fly without getting caught on the trees.
There are many people setting up stalls next to them, selling all kinds of small commodities. It is obviously safe to sell things in the park. After all, no one comes to check. For Li Yi, there is actually no need for these people to run. There is no regulation that prohibits selling things in the park.
Of course, it is also related to the fact that the park is about to be demolished. It depends on how they understand it.
It seems that no one knows that the park is about to be demolished.
Just when they arrived at the square, Xu Qingnan stopped. Li Yi suddenly felt a little strange, so he turned his head to look in the direction of Xu Qingnan and found that her eyes stopped on a stall.
There were some hats and insoles on the stall. In this era, many people sewed their own insoles. They were very comfortable to wear and of good quality. Some people would sell their own insoles. This was a familiar feeling to Li Yi. After all, Xu Qingnan had done something similar before to supplement his family income.
However, the stall owner was one of the main reasons why Xu Qingnan stopped, because the stall owner was actually a child who looked like a half-grown man.
