Chapter 75 Iron Boss
I went home and stayed at home for a few days. It happened to be Wednesday. The Grand Canal Antique City opened every Wednesday to Friday, so Yang Jing decided to take his grandfather to the antique market for a walk.
Early in the morning, Yang Jing drove to his grandfather's house and put the wheelchair in the trunk first, then he helped his grandfather into the car.
My grandfather is too big now, and he is already 190 years old. After the craniotomy surgery, my grandfather's left leg was affected to a certain extent and he didn't walk very quickly. Therefore, if he wanted to take his grandfather to the antique market, he was inseparable from a wheelchair, otherwise his grandfather would not be able to walk fifty meters away.
On that day, Yang Jing's aunt Li Rui also happened to come to her grandfather's house, so her uncle was liberated and he also went to the antique market with him.
The Grand Canal Antique Market is not far from the east bank of the Grand Canal. In fact, this market is a market divided from the previous Yandiankou Antique Market.
Compared with the Yandiankou Antique Market, which had emerged a long time ago, the Grand Canal Antique Market has a larger area and better planning. The most important thing is that the road here is wide enough and there are enough places to park on both sides of the road. Therefore, as soon as the antique market is moved here, a large number of people come here to visit the antique market every day when the market opens.
Tianqu City and Hebei Province are bounded by Hebei Province. Therefore, as soon as this antique market is opened, not only people from Tianqu City and around Tianqu City come back, but many people from Hebei Province and even Jin Province will drive to this antique market.
Yang Jing and the others went there early, so they easily found a parking space. Get off the car and let their grandfather sit in a wheelchair. Yang Jing pushed his grandfather while chatting with his uncle.
My grandfather obviously doesn’t remember this place. In fact, this area has only been developed for a few years. When my grandfather was ill, this area had not been developed yet.
The big road that runs east-west is called Sanba West Road. The original city meant that it was planned to connect the newly opened road with the 38th Road in the city to form the third main road running east-west road in Tianqu City. As a result, this road was repaired but could not be connected with Sanba Road in the city.
Because there is a Beijing-Shanghai Railway Line in the middle!
When it comes to this matter, Yang Jing also feels very fucked.
The area where the National Cotton Factory is located is west of the railway, and was formerly called Tiexi. The largest factories in Tianqu City are all in this area, and there are tens of thousands of workers in this area.
In addition to the north-south Beijing-Shanghai Railway Line, the famous Grand Canal is located to the west of the railway line. Previously, there were only two roads to walk from Tiexi to the city, one was Tianqu Road in the north and the other was Dongfeng Road in the south.
When there weren't so many private cars in the past, these two roads could still be supported by connecting Tiexi and the city, but with more and more private cars, these two roads alone were far from enough.
It’s okay to say that the canal was the two canal bridges before, and later two eight-lane bridges were demolished and built, so that the canal was no longer the throat of traffic, but the railway was not good.
Whether it is Tianqu Road or Dongfeng Road, there is an authentic bridge when passing through the Beijing-Shanghai Railway. These two authentic bridges have become the throat of traffic between Tiexi and the city. Before, when the number of private cars was small, the width of these two authentic bridges could still be supported. But as the number of private cars increases, if your car does not block these two authentic bridges for half an hour every day during rush hour, it would be considered God would be open to the eyes.
In order to alleviate the traffic pressure in Tiexi, the Tianqu Municipal Government had been preparing to widen these two tunnel bridges a long time ago, or build two overpasses above the railway. Later, it was even more ready to open up 38 Road and make 38 Road the third main road connecting the city and Tiexi. But what happened? All of them were stuck.
I don’t know what this Tie Boss is thinking. You said that in order to alleviate traffic pressure, the Tianqu Municipal Government broadened the previous railway tunnel bridge or built an overpass above the railway? It will not destroy the safety and integrity of your railway. Why didn’t your Tie Boss allow the Tianqu Municipal Government to build an overpass?
But this iron boss is so awesome! No matter how the municipal government of Tianqu City finds you, they just don’t allow you to widen the railway bridge or build overpasses!
As a result, Tianqu Road and Dongfeng Road are still blocked into two canned sardines every day, while the newly built Sanba West Road has become a completely dead end road.
Sanba West Road is very well built, with six lanes in both directions and auxiliary lanes. As long as an authentic bridge is built under a railway line of about 100 meters wide or an overpass is built above the railway line, the traffic pressure in Tiexi can be greatly alleviated immediately.
But for just over 100 meters, the Tianqu Municipal Government has applied for it for several years, but it has not yet been applied!
Before Yang Jing went to London, the Three Basin West Road was repaired. As a result, he returned after two years of master's degree in the UK. The short 100-meter-long meter is still the same. (This is a real thing. As for the reasons, Lao Mo will not talk about it much, it is nothing more than a matter of interests! It's really fucking!)
However, dead-end roads also have the advantage of dead-end roads, that is, this wide highway immediately became a paradise for merchants.
The road is easy to walk and wide, so I am happy with the merchants on both sides of the road. The electric car market that Yang Jing and his mother mentioned is in this area. Those who sell electric cars directly park their cars on the sidewalks on both sides of the road. Anyway, this road is wide enough and it is a dead end. There are no big cars coming over, so the sidewalks are basically not available. So why not let us use it - at least sell a few more cars and pay more taxes to the government.
"Where is this?" Grandpa obviously couldn't recognize the place anymore. He looked left and right while asking in confusion.
"Grandpa, this is March 8 West Road. Look, there is the antique market in front of you. Today, my uncle and I will take you to the antique market." Yang Jing lowered his head and said loudly in his grandfather's ear. Grandpa's back had a strong back, and he couldn't hear it if he didn't speak loudly.
"Oh..." The old man suddenly realized and then laughed like a child.
But after walking forward for less than twenty meters, the old man asked again: "Where is this..."
There is no way. Now the old man will remember the things after the operation for at least five minutes. More often than not, he will forget it if he has heard of it and forget it if he has seen it.
My uncle explained to the old man loudly again, and then he pushed the old man closer to the antique market with Yang Jing.
Not to mention, the old man forgets other things after seeing them, but there is no such problem with the antique market. Even though the antique market has been moved once, the old man's eyes lit up immediately after seeing this.
The antique imprint has been deeply imprinted in my grandfather's bones, and cannot be worn away by time and injuries.
