Chapter 607: Don’t Break Your Promise to a Child

After the meal, everyone left each other's contact information and dispersed.

However, Fu Weihong asked her colleagues to ask for leave after they returned, and she followed Han Li to walk around the shabby yard and said.

"If they take care of everything, you're really getting a big deal."

"How to say?"

"Last year, a small leader of our unit was transferred to Hegang as the top leader. The two small houses he lived in were sold for more than 200 yuan. However, those two rooms were in the tube building allocated by the unit, and the conditions and facilities were very good, like Heating, water, electricity, etc. are free of charge.”

"Heating is free, so it's a great deal. Even if this place is repaired, it won't be easy in the winter."

"Yes, the place is too big. Unless you can find help from the public to connect the heating, if you burn the fireplace yourself, you will need a lot of wood."

"The money has already been given. Let's take a look at it then. If it doesn't work, I will cash it out again."

"By the way, Han Li, I remember you always said you wanted to go back to Sijiu City. Why do you think of buying a house in Bingcheng now?"

"When I translate documents, I will encounter some unfamiliar and bitter words. In this case, I need to find relevant information. Now it is not a big deal to go back and forth, but in winter, it will be too painful to go back and forth. When I heard them talking about this house yesterday, I thought it would be fine in Winter Village, and it would be the same everywhere, so I thought about buying it.”

Now this season is the hottest time at noon. Although there are trees in the yard, it was very hot when the two of them walked around. Fu Weihong said, fanning the wind with her hand.

"It's too hot now. How about we go to Jiangyan'er? It's very cool there."

Jiangyan'er is the bank of the Songhua River. To be honest, Han Li stopped by the river for the first time when he came to Bingcheng to see the Flood Control Memorial Tower. However, it was the coldest month of winter and the wind was fierce, so he didn't take a closer look at it. left.

Han Li had never seen Summer on the Songhua River, so when Fu Weihong mentioned it, he immediately agreed.

Han Li rode Fu Weihong's bicycle and took her with her. Under the other's command, he took a small path and headed towards the river.

Of course, with a local guide as a guide, Fu Weihong would briefly describe the famous places he encountered along the way. This was much better than when Han Li just visited the place by himself.

For example, coming out of Huayuan Street and heading north, when passing the cigarette factory, Fu Weihong explained that the Bingcheng Cigarette Factory was first called Laobado and Son Cigarette Company, and it was only changed to its current name in 1952.

Next, when we passed through People's Square and came to the intersection of Changchun Street and Beiwudao Street, Fu Weihong introduced again.

I heard from the old man that the former "North Market" here was a very lively place, equivalent to the overpass of Sijiu City. There were all kinds of things in it, including storytelling, drums, cross talk, and acrobatics. People like Feng Xiazi, "Shi Shi" "Baguai", Kuaishou Yu, and Tianjin Liu all once became famous here.

Since it is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, there are inevitably places like fireworks and casinos. Although Fu Weihong didn't say it, Han Li could guess that the overpasses and the eight big alleys of Dashilar City in Sijiucheng were interdependent in this way. exist.

In 1961, a "Hundred Garden" was built here with the purpose of being a riverside park. Flower exhibitions were held twice a year. It was discontinued in 1966. It is said that the superiors have the intention to resume the flower show this year.

But according to Fu Weihong, at that time, various people from society gathered in Baiyuan, and fights would inevitably occur if no one would obey anyone. However, they were afraid that the trouble would get too big and cause the police to arrest them, so they spontaneously formed "Wrestling Ground".

At first it was used to deal with various disputes. Later, wrestlers from all over the Ice City came here to make a name for themselves. Finally, it became a paid performance. At that time, the price was five cents and you could watch a twenty-minute wrestling show. .

What Fu Weihong said made Han Li gain a lot of knowledge. If he had walked around ten times, he would not know these stories.

The two people crossed Beiwudao Street and came to the riverside, but this place was still some distance away from the riverside that Fu Weihong mentioned.

The Jiangyaner she was talking about was the original "Jiangpan Park" in Butou District. Now it has become Daoli District, and its name has also been changed to "S Dalin Park".

Although the two of them have not arrived at the park yet, there are still many people on the riverside here, but most of them are fishing.

After passing the Flood Control Memorial Tower, the two of them went to the edge of the park to store their bicycles and walked in. Only then did they realize that there were many people playing chess, walking children, boating, swimming, and of course more people here. Most of them are still young couples talking about love.

This situation made Han Li a little confused about what to say. There happened to be a popsicle stall in front of him, so he quickly stepped forward and bought two popsicles to avoid this situation where he had nothing to say.

They found a bench under the shade of the trees by the river and sat there, eating popsicles and watching the people swimming, rowing and laughing in the river.

The wide river water is rippling with blue waves, and everyone on the shore or in the water enjoys the scene in front of them.

The duration of a popsicle covering her mouth was too short, so Fu Weihong continued to act as her tour guide after eating.

But this time I’m talking about several buildings in the park, including the Railway River Club and the predecessor of the Songhua River Canteen, and their current uses.

After saying this, Han Li felt that the atmosphere could no longer return to the previous situation, so he asked about some trivial local matters.

Next, Fu Weihong talked about the "Seven Langs and Eight Tigers" in the 1940s, the "Eighteen Arhats", "Gu Xiang Xie Liu", and "Yuan Ke F" in the past few years, which have been widely circulated.

He also talked about a tradition in Daowai District at that time, that is, the people in each courtyard could live in peace and be as close as a family, but the two adjacent courtyards were often at odds with each other.

But if there was a "war" with other streets and alleys, the people in the street would join hands and face the outside world together. This is similar to the situation in Sijiucheng, but here every street has a "section chief" who has the final say, which is not available in Sijiucheng.

As the two talked, time unknowingly came to dusk. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun put a golden dress on the entire river surface, decorating the river surface like a poem and a painting, and those tourists who had not yet reached the shore seemed like people in a fairyland.

"How about it, Han Li? Isn't the Songhua River very beautiful now? I feel that this is the most beautiful place in the whole Ice City to watch the sunset."

"Well, the sunset is like a colorful spring, and it is really beautiful here at this moment."

Fu Weihong's smile became stronger after hearing Han Li's approval. Then most of the people in the park began to evacuate, but some just came.

Han Li and his friends were part of the evacuation. On the way, he mentioned that he promised to treat Fu Weiyi to dinner last night.

Fu Weihong said no, but Han Li insisted that he couldn't break his promise to a child.

Finally, Han Li came to the door of a restaurant under Fu Weihong's command. He went in to order food, and Fu Weihong rode a bicycle to pick up her cousin.

There are quite a lot of people in this restaurant, and there are things that the restaurant he went to last night didn't have, that is, several large barrels of beer, which means that the person in charge of this restaurant has a relationship with the winery. No wonder there are so many people.

Moreover, the beer here not only does not require a ticket, but the price is also very cheap, 8 cents a cup. If you come early, you can use enamel cups. If you come late, you can only use the glass bottles that hold cans. However, these glass bottles are the same size, and their capacity is estimated to be similar to that of enamel cups.

Of course, you can also choose to take it home to drink, but you can only find a way to use the container yourself. There are kettles, enamel cups, lunch boxes, and some people even carry buckets to get beer.

Relevant data show that in 1975, the output of beer in Bingcheng was about 20,000 tons, and the annual production of beer was not enough for local consumption. In this era, beer was almost not circulated, and there was no entry of foreign beer. All the people in Bingcheng relied on this beer to make a living. Therefore, even if it was loose beer, you couldn't get it in a restaurant without connections.

Last time when they had dinner, Han Li knew that the two sisters liked to eat pig liver, and this restaurant happened to have it, so they ordered liver tips, pig liver soup, chicken racks, and two vegetarian dishes.

Han Li ordered the dishes, paid the bill, and took three enamel cups and two bottles of drinks to occupy a table at the door. Fortunately, the restaurant chosen by Fu Weihong was not far from Fu Weiyi's school. When the waiter was called to serve the dishes, the two of them had already arrived.

"Hahaha, Brother Han, you are really an honest person. In order not to owe me a meal, you stayed in Bingcheng today."

Han Li didn't know where this little girl got her confidence from, but he didn't refute her at this time. He talked about the dishes he had just ordered and asked them to order anything else they wanted to eat.

Fu Weiyi said no when he heard that there was pig liver, and Fu Weihong also said no next to him.

But after the dishes were served, Fu Weihong pushed away the soda in front of her and said.

"Han Li, I want to drink a beer today, too, okay?"

"What's wrong with that? I'll bring it to you right away."

"Brother Han, I also want to taste what beer tastes like."

Fu Weiyi was suppressed by her cousin as soon as she said this, but the two bottles of soda belonged to her.

After dinner, the three of them walked back slowly along the roadside, and first sent the little girl Fu Weiyi home.

Then Han Li took Fu Weihong to ride towards her home. Her home was in the post and telecommunications family area, which was not far from the train station. After sending her, Han Li walked through a few alleys to the guesthouse where he stayed yesterday, and it would be closer to the station tomorrow morning.

However, Han Li certainly couldn't send people directly to the door, so he could only stop the bicycle at a nearby place.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and successfully sent you to the door."

What Han Li didn't expect was that Fu Weihong's body softened when she was about to take the bicycle.
