Chapter 89 Era
Chapter 89 Era
The taxi drove through the streets of Nanxi, and the green plants outside the window quietly receded.
As the weather gets warmer, the "ding-dong" sounds everywhere become more and more shrill. No matter where you are in the city, if you look up, you will see tower cranes rising from the ground in the distance, reaching new heights every day.
The early stages of urban construction are always difficult. When dump trucks weighing over a hundred tons run across the road, even nearby residents will feel their homes shaking slightly.
The dust is flying everywhere and it is impossible to avoid it. Even if you are outside for three or two hours, when you get home and wash your face, the water will immediately turn into a turbid yellow.
Not to mention the newly sprouted grass and trees. They are green for less than two days before they are covered with dust and sway in the wind half-dead.
Environmental issues are always raised again and again, but in this era of large-scale development, this scene is happening all over the country.
Some things are agreed upon verbally to give everyone an explanation, but for things that are not allowed in principle, there must always be a loophole.
Hearing the driver cursing and taking a detour using the opposite lane, Xu Mingyuan was so shaken that he couldn't hold the newspaper in his hand firmly.
Looking out the window, I saw that the driveway had been surrounded by guardrails, and workers were holding tools and digging up the underground pipelines.
Xu Mingyuan is no longer surprised by this phenomenon. Digging and burying, burying and digging, it will take at least ten years before the frequency slows down.
In Xu Mingyuan's impression, the progress of urban construction seems to have accelerated.
I remember the three-story marketing company at the corner of East Street. After graduating from high school, we all went there to buy things together. But now it has been fenced off, the windows have been torn down to become holes, and the word "拆" (demolition) representing money has been painted on the wall.
Duan Jianhe is a master in development. After he eliminated a group of people with lightning speed, no one in Nanxi dared to stop the documents he issued, and the company quickly entered a new round of planning.
To be honest, it was thanks to him that Xu Mingyuan was able to quickly get rich during the real estate market fluctuations in 08 and 09.
If he hadn't built too fast, the local real estate developers in Nanxi wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.
Although there are praises and criticisms, overall, at this critical juncture of the era, Duan Jianhe made a significant contribution to the future development of Nanxi.
Xu Mingyuan also wanted to see what Duan Jianhe, who could start large-scale construction two years ahead of schedule, would turn Nanxi into.
Throwing the Haizhou Evening News he had bought early in the morning to the driver, Xu Mingyuan walked into the gate of No. 3 Middle School empty-handed.
In the morning, I had to send Xiao Yangzhi off. The weather was warm and I walked slowly. In addition, the road was under construction and the taxi drivers drove slowly. Xu Mingyuan became the student who would wait for the right time to enter the classroom.
Seeing Tao Shuxin narrowing her eyes and staring at him with a malicious look like a little fox, Xu Mingyuan took out the fifty-cent coin he got as change from buying a newspaper in the morning and threw it as he passed by, landing it right on her forehead.
Tao Shuxin looked at the teacher in front of the podium, took a deep breath, and chose to swallow his anger.
If the teacher wasn't here, I would definitely find him and fight him to the death!
Although I have never taken any practical action, one day I will try my best!
Tao Shuxin rubbed his forehead, looked at the shiny fifty-cent coin, picked it up and secretly hid it in his wallet.
Fifty cents is still money, you can save it to pay your phone bill.
Ever since the last big fight with her mother, Tao Shuxin's seat was quickly moved to another location, several tables away from Xu Mingyuan.
During the free time in class, Tao Shuxin sometimes looked back and casually saw what Xu Mingyuan was doing.
Seeing that he was concentrating on writing the paper, he nodded with great satisfaction and continued to do his own thing.
Occasionally, she would meet Xu Mingyuan's gaze. When she saw him grinning at her, Tao Shuxin would immediately glare back and signal him to hurry up and do his homework.
Every time their eyes met for a split second, Tao Shuxin would feel her heart skip a beat. Although she didn't know what the feeling was, it wasn't uncomfortable.
But when I saw Xu Mingyuan distracted, I felt that he was not studying seriously and felt inexplicably annoyed.
It was in this indescribable emotion that entangled the internal organs in my chest, and I spent day after day.
At school, Tao Shuxin no longer dared to openly pull Xu Mingyuan.
Even if a little girl stopped Xu Mingyuan on the road, she would frown, look at her for a few seconds, then walk away.
In the afternoon, when I went to the cafeteria and passed by Class 3, Yu Caiwei waved. She pulled down the sleeves of her school uniform, and the silver bracelet on her fair wrist looked a little dazzling. "Xu Mingyuan, good afternoon."
"Well, good afternoon."
Xu Mingyuan nodded and smiled, then walked away.
I don't know which bored person spread the word, but Xu Mingyuan once said that Yu Caiwei from Class 3 was the prettiest girl in the school, and somehow it reached her ears.
I remember that I had no interaction with her. If my memory is correct, then this could only be the problem that has arisen now.
Compared to the past, Xu Mingyuan is much more low-key now, but his fame in school has increased a lot.
After all, the most famous Chen Junjian disappeared, and Liu Xinyu from Class 5 went to take the physical test in advance.
Looking at the entire senior year, it seems that Xu Mingyuan is the only one who is relatively famous.
Xu Mingyuan, who was a normal-looking guy in his first and second year of high school, suddenly became steady and mature in his third year. He also looked good, so there were always curious glances at him.
Xu Mingyuan has been under scrutiny for too long. When he was the boss, no one would ignore him.
Back to senior year of high school, it was the same again.
Maybe Xu Mingyuan would feel very happy in the past, but now he just feels a little bored.
"Hey, Xu Mingyuan, have you decided which university to apply to?"
Yu Caiwei caught up with him briskly and patted his shoulder.
"Jiang Da."
"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have enough points. Hey, are you free on Sunday? Can I invite you to my birthday party?"
Yu Caiwei's eyes were sparkling, and she seemed to have mustered up her courage.
"Sorry, I don't have time."
Xu Mingyuan refused without thinking, kicked Sun Hongwei who was making sarcastic remarks at the side, and went downstairs together, leaving Yu Caiwei standing there in astonishment.
Yu Caiwei’s level of being a green tea character was too low, far worse than Lin Jing’s, and she couldn’t even arouse Xu Mingyuan’s interest.
The third year of high school is about to end, and all the restless thoughts will be released. It is common to see students confessing their love and tearing up their textbooks.
Without Tao Shuxin's obstruction, Yu Caiwei, who occasionally says hello, has obviously become more talkative recently.
After playing ball for a while, I went to the cafeteria to eat.
When I returned to the classroom, I saw Tao Shuxin constantly winking at me, indicating that I should follow her.
Xu Mingyuan ignored him and just went back to his seat and took out a book, looking like a good student who wanted to study hard.
Just as he expected, Tao Shuxin walked to his seat with her shoes stomping hard, pulled him up angrily, and walked out of the classroom with her head down.
Tao Shuxin was anxious and angry.
I clearly told him that we should stay a little distance from each other in school, but do you really have to pretend not to see him?
The deserted little corner at the corridor became a rare opportunity for the two to have close contact in school.
