Chapter 129 Disappointment
"Brother, is this Persimmon Town?"
"This Shizhen Town is quite famous in several nearby counties, but it seems that it is not as big as our Jiangbei Village!"
"That's right! Not only is it not as big as Jiangbei Village, it's not even half as good as Jiangbei Village now! No! It's not even 10% as good."
"Xiao Ling, you are right. This Shizhen Town is not even as good as Jiangbei Village before the Great Construction. There are dilapidated buildings and bumpy roads everywhere."
“The main road here is so small that it is difficult for two large cars to drive side by side.”…
Under Wang Qiang's rapid speed, Shizhen, which was only 20 kilometers away, had arrived in less than an hour.
However, this well-known Shizhen Town greatly disappointed several girls who were very interested, and they all complained endlessly.
Is this still a rural town?
It seems that it is not even the same size as last year's Jiangbei Village, let alone compared with this year's Jiangbei Village.
Several girls originally thought that the size of a town would be larger than that of Jiangbei Village.
But they also don't think about it. Even the current county seat of Tea City is not as big as Jiangbei Village, and its population is about the same.
Wang Qiang and his family naturally didn't know the tragedy that happened after Wang Qiang threw away the person he was racing with.
As Wang Qiang parked the tricycle at the bus station set up in Shizhen, the four brothers and sisters looked around with interest, and people couldn't help but complain about the result.
Today's Shizhen Town has narrow streets and dilapidated houses on both sides of the bumpy loess roads.
There are adobe thatched houses and brick houses, but there are only two three-story buildings in the entire town.
The two small buildings are real small buildings, covering an area of about one hundred square meters.
One of the small buildings is a branch of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and the other is a branch of the Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
These two small buildings are not far from the bus station, about twenty meters away from the platform.
The stop at Shizhen Bus Station is just a platform, with no shelter from the wind and rain.
The buildings on both sides of the street are even more unflattering.
There are buildings with various orientations, but the buildings facing the main road are the least, looking messy and crooked.
There are even corners of many buildings built directly on the side of the road, making the road, which is not wide in the first place, winding.
Sewage is also flowing across the streets, and open-air stinking ditches are everywhere.
Unless you see this situation with your own eyes, you would never imagine that this is an urban area in a township!
Wang Qiang, who has been born in two generations, does not take it seriously, because this is the epitome of villages and towns in this era and is very common.
But the four little girls, who had come with beautiful longings, looked around and looked at each other with a look of dementia.
"You girls, hey!"
Wang Qiang sighed and said leisurely, "As the saying goes, a sight is worth a hundred hearings."
"No matter how much you hear, it's better to see it with your own eyes. Rumors are just rumors after all. It's only right to listen half to half and believe three to three."
Indeed, this Persimmon Town is famous throughout the province for its persimmons. The persimmons produced here are large, sweet, rich in nutrients, and are of much better quality than those produced in other places.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be called Persimmon Town.
Not to mention the current situation of Shishi Town, which shocked several girls. Even Jiangbei Village last year, how can it be better than this Shishi Town?
However, because the buildings in Jiangbei Village are widely distributed, it is not like the urban residents of a town here, who live together, making them visible at a glance, bringing a strong visual impact.
"Why!"
Wang Qiang looked at Wanjun and the others who were in a daze beside him, and couldn't help but sigh, "You have too little experience now, you must go and see more towns."
"Only by seeing with your own eyes the scenery and local customs of various places can you truly broaden your horizons and avoid encountering any emotions, like now, where your eyes are numb and black."
His previous education for his younger sisters was relatively successful and did not make any of them crooked.
But they have been staying at home, which has advantages but also more disadvantages.
Having too low a vision is one of the most fatal disadvantages.
After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he thought for a while, his eyes fixed, and he finally made up his mind, "That's it."
"I'm going to the city to buy appliances in a few days. You girls should go with me."
"I neglected some things before. I always thought that the most important thing is to protect you so that you can grow up healthily."
He paused and said in a solemn voice, "Now it seems that it is equally important to open the horizons of you girls as soon as possible."
"I have tested our three-wheeled bicycle today. When driving in today's bad road conditions, it is faster, more stable and more convenient to travel than the minibus at the bus station."
He decided to change the way he raised his younger sisters so that they would no longer be like the frogs in the well they were today, only seeing a small patch of sky in Jiangbei Village and Chacheng County.
This is very detrimental to their future prospects of going to big cities to study at university.
When the chicks grow up, they will definitely spread their wings and fly.
A bird trapped in a cage will never become an eagle soaring high, overlooking the whole world.
"Really!"
"Brother, I originally thought of telling you in a few days, but now you decide to take us to the city to buy appliances, that's great!"
"Hmm, I've never been to a place that far away! It must be lively and fun, right?"
"Brother, we can go together as a family, but we must at least take Ah Cai with us, lest it would be terrible if my sister and the others get lost in such a big city."...
When the girls heard what Wang Qiang said, they all beamed with joy.
Anyway, with my brother here, no matter what happens, I will have a backbone and my brother will solve everything.
What's more, as Wan Jun said, if you want to take your own big yellow dog with you, you will feel even more at ease.
only……
It took a few girls to realize: what my brother just said was that he would ride a tricycle to the city?
"No way? Are we going that far by bike?"
"Brother, why don't we... why don't we take the shuttle bus?"...
In this era, there is basically no concept of self-driving travel, so of course these girls are very worried.
"hehe!"
Wang Qiang looked amused, "You girls are like frogs in the well now. That's really not bad."
"You don't even think about it, how fast can a minibus drive on the dilapidated road we came to Shizhen today?"
"In addition, the shuttle bus has to stop and go all the way, needing to pick up and drop off passengers, and sometimes it stops at midway stations to wait for passengers. How much time will be wasted?"
"Also, a city is so big. If we take a shuttle bus and want to play around for a while, how inconvenient would it be to walk in such a big city?"
He added the last and most important reason, "Finally, the home appliances we want to buy this time are not one or two, but at least ten or eight."
"Besides, it's your first time going to the city, so you won't just buy some home appliances when you come back, right?"
Having said this, he looked at the few girls who were hesitant to speak, shook his head and said, "I dare say, not only will we buy back a lot of home appliances, but you will also buy back a lot of things."
"Don't believe it, you will understand it by then. The various products in the city will dazzle you. As long as you have money in your hands, you will definitely be itchy."
"With so many things, if I want to take the shuttle bus back to the tea city, even if I go to the station to check them in, I can't bring them all back to the tea city at one time."
"When the time comes, I wonder if you little girls won't be anxious on the spot."
"hehe!"
Seeing that his sister and the others were speechless, Wang Qiang chuckled and said, "Before I go to the city in a few days, I have to build a large cart and tie it to the back of our tricycle to drag it around."
"Otherwise, our tricycle, although it is very powerful after I modified it twice, will not be able to accommodate both people and goods."
After Wang Qiang explained all the difficulties of going to the city, the girls finally understood and nodded.
"Oh...I understand."
"I was just a little worried at first, but with my brother, Ah Cai, and Dabai here, I'm not afraid at all."
"Humph! People believe in my brother the most. What he says turns out to be right in the end."
Each of them put down their worries and started shouting again.
Immediately, everyone stood on the edge of the platform of Shizhen Station and looked at all directions of Shizhen again, curiously looking at it carefully.
Wang Qiang said that he was just taking a short rest here and would soon set off again to his destination this time: Hongyan Village.
So Wanjun and the others had to seize the time to take a good look at the Shizhen area they had heard of before and satisfy their curiosity.
In the direction of Hongyan Village, you still need to walk back for a while, and then turn onto the fork to Hongyan Village.
