Reborn 1980

"Let's go to the east of the city." Mo Bei was more anxious than Gu Anran. The less he knew what she and Mu Anchu were betting on, the more uncertain he felt.

The car passed through the city. When it stopped, I got off the car and looked east. The scene in front of me was very depressing.

The Grand Canal runs through the west of the city. In ancient times, when water transport was prosperous, it brought prosperity to the people on both sides of the canal.

Although cargo ships are no longer available, the west of the city has a better development advantage than the east.

Whether it is life or leisure and entertainment, Chengxi is very mature and comprehensive.

Looking to the east of the city, the houses are dilapidated and the roads are muddy.If they really don’t have the money to buy a house elsewhere, no one would want to

At a glance from a high place, one can see a cluster of low and dilapidated adobe houses that cannot withstand wind or rain. On the roofs, scrap wooden boards of various sizes and shapes are often pressed down with bricks, like patches.

No matter how many "patches" there are on the roof, they can't stop rain from leaking into the house when it rains.

Every time it rains, the road here will be muddy for many days. Even if it dries out, it will be bumpy and difficult to walk on.

Although the large area east of the city belongs to Nancheng, the focus of urban construction in Nancheng is not on the east side of the city. The east side of the city has always been in a state of free-range farming, and most people make a living by growing crops.

People in the west of the city always sneer at the mention of the east of the city. Many people who live in the west of the city are unwilling to admit that the east of the city is also a part of Nancheng. They dislike the east of the city for lowering the level of the entire Nancheng.

They prefer to describe the east of the city as a large rural area on the edge of the south city.

"Pull up your trouser legs, let's go in and walk around."

Gu Anran was the first to squat down and roll up his trouser legs. Mo Bei and Mo Wen also bent down to roll up their trouser legs.

It had rained a few days ago, and the road was still very muddy. Mo Bei stared at Gu Anran's exposed white and shiny calf, frowning and said, "Shall I carry you? How many times have I walked on this road?" If you step forward, you will become a piece of clay."

Gu Anran shook his head indifferently: "It doesn't matter, just go back and wash it."

At this time, the "Big Brother" in Mo Bei's pocket rang. The signal here was very poor. When Mo Bei picked it up, he couldn't hear the sound in the receiver clearly. He had to take the phone to a slightly higher place to find the signal.

While Mo Bei went to answer the phone, Gu Anran rolled up his trousers and walked towards a man wearing a postman's uniform on the side of the road.

The man had just walked out of the muddy road pushing the car. No, it couldn't be said to be pushing the car, because the fenders of the car were filled with mud and the wheels could not turn at all. This man was carrying the bicycle. He walked out of the dirt road with difficulty.

He was crouching on the side of the road, holding a branch in his hand to clear away the mud stuck in the fender of his bicycle.While cleaning up, he complained, "What a lousy place! Once it rains, this road will be inaccessible for days! Alas! When will it end!"

"Hello," Gu Anran stood in front of the postman, leaning down to talk to him with his arms on his knees, "Are you the postman in charge of this area in the east of the city?"

The postman looked up and saw a beautiful face smiling brightly at him.This is a rare beauty!The key is that this beauty is still smiling at him!

His depressed mood cleared up a lot, "Yes. Are you... okay?"

Gu Anran smiled and said: "I would like to ask some questions. Do you know how many households there are in the east of the city?"

There was a hint of pride on the postman's face, "You asked me the right person! Of course I know! I've been running around here for several years! I know every household!"

"Really? Based on what you know about them, do they want to move out of the old house and live in a new one?"

"Why don't you want to!? Just look at my bicycle! It's impossible to walk on this road when it rains here! And their houses are not leaking! Not only do they leak when it rains, but they also leak in the yard. The stagnant water will pour into the house! Some of the water is on the bed! But what's the use? If they had money, they would have bought a house elsewhere! Aren't they not rich!? "

Gu Anran took out a pen and paper, "Can you please draw me the location of the main residential areas and cultivated land in the east of the city?"

"Why do you want me to draw this?" the postman asked puzzledly.

"I want to transform this place. In the next few years, make this place more prosperous than the west of the city." Gu Anran said with a smile.

"Haha." The postman smiled. He turned around and looked at the endless mud, then turned to look at Gu Anran and asked with a smile: "Little girl, are you starting to dream in broad daylight?"

"Just think I'm daydreaming." Gu Anran handed the pen and paper in front of him again.

"Okay! I've finished delivering today's letters, so I'll help you draw a picture!" The postman took the piece of paper and drew the location of the residential and farming areas in the east of the city as required by An Ran.

Mo Wen came closer and looked at his painting, and asked in the middle: "Is the position you painted accurate?"

"How come it's not accurate? I've been running here every day for five years! No one knows this place better than me!" The postman held his head high and was full of confidence.

After the postman finished the drawing, he handed it to Gu Anran. Gu Anran thanked him and made a suggestion to the postman before leaving.

"Brother Postman, if you have money, take advantage of the fact that the adobe houses in the east of the city are now cheap and buy one! If you don't have money, borrow some money and buy one. No matter whether you can live in it or not, even if you just buy it and throw it here, Well, as long as you own a house here, it will surely bring you unexpected surprises in the future.”

"Hahaha..." The postman stood there and watched them go away, then he scratched his head and whispered: "Buy a house here? Unless I'm mentally ill! Everyone here wants to buy a house elsewhere, but you let me I’m here to buy a house? Ridiculous! She’s a pretty girl, but it’s a pity that she’s not smart!”

Through interviews, the answers obtained were similar to those given by the postman.The people here have long been fed up with the living environment here, and they extremely hope to move away from this place.

By the afternoon, the three of them had concluded their investigation for the day.

Gu Anran and Mo Wen made an agreement to meet at Mo Bei's company tomorrow morning. Then they would use Mo Bei's computer to start making plans.

She and Mo Bei returned to Antai Building, their small home.

I washed away all the dirt, put on fresh and clean clothes and went out to eat.

When they got downstairs, Mo Bei held Gu Anran's hand and stopped to ask her: "I know a Sichuan restaurant that is very authentic. Should I take you to eat there? It's just that it's quite far away. It takes almost an hour to drive."

Gu Anran shook his head, "Let's stop by one day. If we don't drive, we can just walk around and have something to eat at the small restaurant at the entrance of the community."

"That's fine. By the way, I haven't told you yet. It was dad who called today. He said that Zhang Li and his wife had left home and came to Nancheng to find the newspaper office."

"It came quickly." Gu Anran hummed, "I'll make a call when I go back after dinner and ask when the paternity test results will be out."
