Return to 1988: Beginning with a marriage robbery, the rich are soaring

When she saw Changzhou City, Xu Qingqing was amazed that the city could be so big.

But compared with Jiangcheng, Changzhou City is much smaller, and its level of prosperity is also different.

In 1988, the streets of Jiangcheng were already full of high-rise buildings. The traffic flow on the wide streets was like carp crossing the river. Overpasses were not far away, and various advertising signs were everywhere. There was excitement everywhere.

Xu Qingqing looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, her eyes full of novelty.

Jiangcheng in later generations only expanded in size, but the main roads in the central city are now the same as those in later generations. After Liang Bai drove into the city, he followed his memory and walked all the way without worrying about going to the wrong place.

Xu Qingqing looked at him in surprise and said, "You seem to have been here before. You feel very familiar here."

Liang Baikai was shocked after hearing this and said quickly: "No, I just follow the road anyway. We don't have a fixed place to go."

Xu Qingqing said "Oh", thinking about it, she didn't go into details, but asked: "Where should we go now?"

Liang Baikai originally had a goal, but he didn't dare to say anything at this time. He just said, "Let's take a walk and see where it feels right. We'll stop first and find a place to live before we decide."

"Then we will live wherever you think is suitable. Anyway, I listen to you!" Xu Qingqing said.

This really suited Liang Baikai's wishes, and he said with a smile: "Jiangcheng is so big, so let's just wander around first."

"Okay!"

Xu Qingqing wished for this and happily agreed.

Liang Baikai no longer had any scruples and started driving around Jiangcheng. While driving, he accompanied Xu Qingqing to look around and be amazed by the high-rise buildings.

After passing the Yangtze River Bridge, Xu Qingqing was even more happy.

When she was in Changzhou City last night, although she had seen the Yangtze River, she only saw it from the bank. The Yangtze River could not be seen clearly in the dark.

But now we were on the bridge, with the entire river in front of our eyes, and the feeling was different.

“So this is what the Yangtze River looks like!”

Xu Qingqing sighed.

Liang Bai said with a smile: "It seems to be only a little bigger than the Qingjiang River we have, so there's nothing strange about it."

Xu Qingqing said: "It's not just bigger, but a lot wider, okay?"

After finishing speaking, he agreed and said: "Apart from the fact that it is wider, there is nothing strange about it. The water is not as clear as the Qingjiang River."

"Well, it's not like what the lyrics say, it doesn't feel like wandering around."

Liang Baikai smiled and said, "Yeah, I thought it was magical before I've seen it, and I imagined it all, but when I really saw it, I felt it was different from what I imagined."

While the two were exchanging views, time passed unknowingly. Liang Baikai also drove the car near Jianghan Road and found a hotel to park.

Check in, check in, and put your luggage in the room.

The hotel Liang Baikai found was relatively high-end, and the furnishings of the rooms were almost the same as those of later generations. There were independent bathrooms, washbasins, TVs, and air conditioners.

Xu Qingqing was delighted when she saw such a clean and tidy room for the first time.

"Brother Kai, this house is too high-end!"

Liang Baikai also pretended to be surprised and said, "Yes, it looks very classy. It would be great if our own house could be decorated like this in the future."

Xu Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

The two of them discussed for a while, and under Liang Baikai's intentional or unintentional guidance, they "explored" in the room and finally figured out how to use the washstand, toilet, and shower.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liang Baikai also suggested taking a bath and trying out the equipment.

Xu Qingqing disagreed at first, saying why take a bath in broad daylight?

Unable to stand up to Liang Bai's scoundrel, Xu Qingqing had no choice but to agree after driving for a day and a half, which was very dusty.

Originally, it was agreed that Liang Baikai would wash first and then she would wash.

As a result, Liang Baikai said that it would be better to save water together...

Anyway, Xu Qingqing complained afterwards that she didn't save water at all and didn't know how much water was wasted.

I took a shower for more than an hour, and the faucet was always on.

But she also had to admit that using this kind of shower head to take a bath was more convenient and more comfortable than using a wooden basin to take a bath at home.

Also, it's strange that there is always hot water in the shower head, but it never ends.

Liang Baikai explained to her that it was a boiler burned in the hotel, and she understood.

Liang Baikai also said: "When we go back, we will install one at home based on the bathroom here."

Xu Qingqing was moved, but said: "It is good to install a bathroom like this, but we don't have that much money to burn a boiler."

Liang Baikai wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he held it back and said, "We can buy an electric water heater. That one is for home use. When the electricity is turned on, there will be hot water."

"Really?" Xu Qingqing asked in surprise.

Liang Baikai said: "I also saw it in a magazine, right? Let's go to the mall later and have a look, won't we know?"

Xu Qingqing immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go now!"

Liang Baikai didn't expect her to be in such a hurry, and said with a smile: "We will stay for several days, don't worry! Let's rest first, we will go out to eat later, and then go to the mall after eating."

In today's travels, in addition to visiting parks, the only thing left is visiting shopping malls.

There are actually very few other attractions at this stage.

Xu Qingqing was a little tired before, so after hearing what he said, she was not in a hurry.

The two of them took a nap for more than an hour before getting up and going out.

The hotel Liang Bai chose was only a few hundred meters away from Jiangcheng First Central Department Store, so he walked with Xu Qingqing without driving.

Along the way, both of them paid attention to the various shops they passed. Not far from the department store, a small store caught Liang Baikai's attention.

It says "Welfare Prize-winning Donation Vouchers Jianghan Road Sales Center".

"Honey, let's go in and take a look!"

Liang Baikai suppressed the excitement in his heart, pulled Xu Qingqing's arm, pointed to the "Lottery Shop" and said.

Xu Qingqing looked at it and said in surprise: "What are the welfare prize-raising coupons?"

Liang Baikai said: "I read in the newspaper that if you buy this kind of welfare ticket with prizes, you are doing good deeds, and you can also win prizes. Let's go and take a look."

When Xu Qingqing heard that she was doing a good deed, she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, let's go take a look!"

When the two of them walked into the store, a staff member stood up to greet them and said in authentic Jiangcheng dialect: "What numbers do you want to buy?"

Xu Qingqing heard this accent for the first time and didn't understand a word, so she looked at Liang Baikai in shock.

Liang Bai smiled and said in Mandarin: "We are from out of town!"

The staff member then said it again in Mandarin.

Liang Baikai continued: "We haven't bought it before. How can we buy it? Please introduce it."
