Chapter 949 Departing from the Province (7200 words)(3/3)

The tractor road was shaking and bumpy, and the surrounding scenes were constantly changing from farmland, village, and mountain forest.

When everyone wakes up, they can eat two eggs or grab a handful of fish balls. Having someone to keep them company makes the journey not so difficult.

The two old men were very patient, and Ye Yaodong and A Guang would look at the watches on their wrists from time to time.

When the pointer still hadn't reached one point, Aguang nudged Ye Yaodong with his elbow, "It's been eight or nine hours and it's still not there yet. Can you ask me?"

"It should be soon, right?"

He also looked at his watch, stood up and asked Uncle Zhou: "Uncle, are we almost there?"

"It's coming, it's coming. We should be arriving at the provincial capital in half an hour. Didn't you notice that the road is much smoother?"

"oh."

He sat back down and told everyone that there was still half an hour, and everyone became energetic.

Fortunately, no one was motion sick, but they were just a little tired after sitting for a long time.

"Then let's eat something more..."

Half of the fifty or sixty eggs were left, and the fish balls were almost bottomed out. They were sitting there doing nothing, and everyone's stomachs were like bottomless pits. They ate whenever they had nothing to do.

"I want to save my stomach and see if there is anything delicious when I get there." A Guang ate a full stomach of eggs and had no appetite for fish balls.

Ye Yaodong didn't criticize him. In fact, there wasn't much to eat in the provincial capital. The food was similar to what they had. There was nothing special about it. The most famous one was fish balls and fish noodles.

In his previous life, he came here often, and he was really indifferent to the food in the provincial capital, which was not as delicious as their local snacks.

The group regained their energy and started chatting again until they saw that there were more villages. They guessed that they should have reached the provincial capital.

Ye Yaodong was also a little curious about the provincial capital these days. It was already a millennium ago when he went to the provincial capital in his previous life, and the city was changing with each passing day.

He stood up and looked at the surrounding houses, roads and streets, and couldn't help but look disappointed. They were not much different from their county town, just as shabby and old.

"Dongzi, didn't you say that big cities are clean and changing with each passing day, and they have built high-rise buildings? Didn't you see it? Isn't it similar to where we are?"

Ye Yaodong was a little embarrassed. In his opinion, this was at least the provincial capital, and it should have several tall buildings.

He explained: "We have just entered the city, and we are on the edge. The surrounding area is of course similar to the villages over there. We have to go to the left and right of the center to roughly see it."

"That too."

As the tractor moved forward, they actually saw several tall buildings, and there were other construction sites nearby. The city looked cleaner and tidier. Basically, everything they saw were short and flat buildings.

There is a constant flow of pedestrians.

They also saw a country bus on the road, and a bunch of people stood on the roadside and crowded onto the bus.

"The buildings in the provincial capital are so tall. They have to climb up and down such a tall building every day. Why don't they die from exhaustion?"

"There is an elevator, brother. There must be an elevator in such a high building. Otherwise, you will have to climb until your legs are weak."

All technological progress is to facilitate human laziness.

"That bus looks much better than our tractor. I saw there are a lot of seats inside. This bus must not be cheap. We have never seen such a bus there."

"It will be available in the future."

"Dad, look, there are many shops on the street here. The streets are all surrounded by hawkers. You can't even squeeze in. There are so many people gathered in front of a small stall."

"Take a closer look."

"It looks much more lively than in the city, the buildings are taller, and there are more people than in the city."

"This is only a small area. The provincial capital is definitely bigger than the area in our city. Look, if you go forward, there are still buildings being built."

"When we get to the motorcycle factory and put your motorcycle down, let's go for a walk and take a look at the high-rise building. Do you have your camera?"

"I definitely brought it!"

The night before, he specifically asked Lin Xiuqing to bring him a camera, and he would take pictures and show them to her.

Just as they were getting excited, Uncle Zhou suddenly stopped the car. They stood up and took a look. It turned out that they had come down to ask for directions.

He went down and asked passers-by, talking and gesticulating, before continuing forward.

The motorcycle factory was not in this area. They stopped and asked questions as they walked. It took them more than an hour to see a large number of factories.

"We're here!" Uncle Zhou shouted, then stopped the car.

Everyone jumped down one after another, but their mouths opened wide in an instant.

"Is the motorcycle factory this big?"

“Isn’t this almost ten acres of land?”

"Did you go the wrong way? There are several bungalows that look like factory buildings coming all the way ahead."

"That's right, look at the words written on the wall." Ye Yaodong pointed to the words written on the wall.

"You don't know the characters, you two can read them aloud."

"That's right, it's right here."

"You guys wait here first, A Guang and I will go in and ask."
