The Pentium Era - South to North

When Zhang Chen returned home, Xiao Zhao asked him how he was doing. Zhang Chen told her about meeting Shino Harada. Xiao Zhao laughed. She said that the Japanese are really funny. Adding a sauce means intimacy. , then Pixian Doubanjiang, is it also a nickname?

Zhang Chen said yes, Babao sauce, beef sauce and Chun'an sauce are all nicknames.

"Do Japanese people like eating sauce very much?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"I don't know, I'll ask Shino-chan next time."

Zhang Chen said, and the two of them laughed.

After laughing, Zhang Chen sighed and said, "It's a pity that I haven't found a job yet. It seems that jobs are harder to find in Hangzhou than in Haicheng."

"It's okay. I already have a job. We don't have a place to live and we're hungry. Don't worry." Xiao Zhao comforted Zhang Chen in turn.

Zhang Chen thought for a while, and judging from the scene in the morning, he said that it is harder to find a job in Hangzhou than in Haicheng. He was right. If there were more companies recruiting workers and more people looking for jobs, then Hangzhou would be like Haicheng. , a East Lake recruitment wall came into being, and an additional "Talent Information Newspaper" came into being.

After the two of them finished their lunch, Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen said, "Let's go, teach me how to ride a bicycle."

"Why are you learning to ride a bicycle?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"You left in the morning, and I was thinking, if I learned how to ride a bicycle, I could ride to work by myself, and you wouldn't have to ride such a long way back just to take me to work."

"I want to come back for dinner too."

"Wherever you can't eat food, I can bring it out and you come to my unit to eat. This time, you save a lot of time." Xiao Zhao said.

"Also, you have to go to work in the future. You can't get up so early while I work the morning shift. I work the middle shift, and you have to run away from work and come back to see me off. There are few buses in this place, and I always It’s only convenient if you learn to ride a bicycle yourself.”

Zhang Chen felt that what Xiao Zhao said made sense. The two of them went downstairs. Zhang Chen asked the landlord to borrow a wrench and adjusted the bicycle seat to the lowest position. Otherwise, Xiao Zhao would not be able to pedal all the way while riding on it.

Zhang Chen pushed the bicycle out of the door, stepped behind the bicycle, held the schoolbag rack with both hands, and said to Xiao Zhao, "Come on, get on the bus."

Xiao Zhao looked at both sides of the road and said, "It's going to fall into the vegetable field below. Let's go ride on the playground of the village primary school."

Zhang Chen got on the car and took Xiao Zhao to the village primary school. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said that there are two points to master when riding a bicycle. When riding a bicycle, the slower it is, the more stable it is. On the contrary, the bicycle will be more stable when riding fast. It's very stable, but when it's slow, it's hard to ride, and it's hard not to fall down.

When Zhang Chen said this, he remembered that when he was a child, the cement roads in Yongcheng were long and long, and the places where the blocks were connected were filled with black asphalt. There were almost no cars on the road at that time. The road is a paradise for them to play.

What they often compete on the road is that five or six bicycles line up in a row. Starting from this asphalt line to the next asphalt line, a distance of more than ten meters, the slower, not the faster, is seen to see who rides last. You can't fall off the car in the middle, and your feet can't touch the ground. If you violate one rule, you will give up and get out.

The bicycles in a row were swaying, and everyone kept shaking their heads, trying to control their center of gravity so as not to fall to one side. They also pedaled backwards with their feet, and the chains squeaked, trying to slow down the bikes. .

The most powerful guy can stay on the same spot for a minute or two without falling over. When his center of gravity is unstable, he pedals half a moment. The car moves forward a little and stops again. When his center of gravity is unstable and he is about to fall, he pedals half a moment. Every time, this guy wins. Everyone initiates the competition again and again, all with the hope that they can beat this guy once and kill his arrogance.

"What's the second one, dear?" Xiao Zhao asked.

"The second thing is, don't hold the faucet too tightly. The tighter you hold it, the harder it is to control the direction. You don't see many people who know how to ride a bicycle. Just hold the faucet firmly with one hand and just let go. Some people let go of both hands or both hands, and rely on the swing of the body to control the direction."

"But, I'm so nervous that my palms are sweating. How could it be possible if I don't hold on tight?"

"It's okay. I was nervous when I first learned. Just remember this and keep reminding yourself to relax. I'm holding you back anyway."

"Okay, okay, then don't let go."

Xiao Zhao rode two twists and turns on the playground. Zhang Chen supported him from behind and shouted, "Hurry up, ride faster." Xiao Zhao rode faster and shouted: "Dear, did you not let go?" "

"No, no, feel free to ride."

"Don't let go, I'm afraid."

"No, no, I won't let go, don't worry."

Zhang Chen ran after Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao rode faster and faster. When Zhang Chen saw that the car was very stable, he secretly let go of his hand. When Xiao Zhao screamed, he told her that he was still holding on.

After riding for more than 20 minutes, Xiao Zhao was riding very steadily. Zhang Chen let go of his hand and stood still. Xiao Zhao was riding, but why did he feel that Zhang Chen's breathing behind him seemed to be gone?

She was confused, but she still didn't stop. When she turned a corner on the playground, she saw Zhang Chen far in front, looking at her and clapping his hands. Xiao Zhao was shocked, and the faucet tilted and fell. to the ground.

Zhang Chen hurried over, and Xiao Zhao sat up from the ground, almost crying, and cursed, "Why don't you keep your words and let go of your hands? I wonder where the person went."

Zhang Chen quickly comforted him and said, "Actually, I have let go of you for a long time. You are already able to ride. After half a circle, you were fine. Why did you fall when you turned around?"

"I see you, you bad guy."

"Okay, then I should go underground. I'm sorry, it's my fault."

Xiao Zhao burst into laughter and asked, "Am I really good at riding?"

"That's right, when you didn't see me, you were already able to ride." Zhang Chen said with a smile, "How about it, does it hurt if you fall?"

"Wearing this much, it won't hurt."

Zhang Chen looked at the time and said to Xiao Zhao, okay, it's almost time to go to work, let's go back.

Xiao Zhao raised a finger and said: "Five minutes, can we ride for another five minutes?"

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "You only have one minute."

Xiao Zhao quickly put up all five fingers.

The two of them rode again, and Zhang Chen kept running behind him, humming out of breath while running, which made Xiao Zhao feel at ease.

Zhang Chen saw that Xiao Zhao was riding steadily, and he quietly straddled his legs and sat on the schoolbag rack. Xiao Zhao felt that the car suddenly became heavier, but she didn't take it seriously. She thought it was because Zhang Chen couldn't keep up. , holding the car behind.

After she had ridden with Zhang Chen for more than half a circle, Zhang Chen breathed into her neck and said, "Not bad, I can take people with me."

Xiao Zhao was shocked, and the faucet fell to one side again. Fortunately, this time, Zhang Chen had already landed on his feet and stopped the car with his hands.

…

Zhang Chen sent Xiao Zhao to the "Red Flag Hotel" and rode to Wulin Square.

Wulin Square, Hangzhou people are still used to calling it Red Sun Square because the Zhejiang Exhibition Hall behind the square was called "Red Sun Exhibition Hall" when it was built in 1969. The square in front of the exhibition hall is naturally called "Red Sun Square". "It wasn't until 1977 that it was renamed "Zhejiang Exhibition Hall" and "Wulin Square" because this place was the Wulin Gate of Hangzhou in ancient times.

Zhang Chen is very familiar with this area. There is the first modern water fountain landscape pool in Hangzhou in the square - the "Eight Girls" sculpture musical fountain. When it was completed in 1984, it caused a nationwide sensation and became a symbol of Hangzhou. Important attractions.

The sculptures of eight girls were created by the Hangzhou Urban Sculpture Studio. They were grandly published in the authoritative "Art" magazine that year. Zhang Chen specially traveled from Yongcheng to Hangzhou to see them.

The eight girls are divided into two groups. The three in the middle of the fountain are holding colorful drills and dancing silk dances. There are five sitting girls around them, playing the pipa, sheng, guzheng, flute and konghou respectively.

The numerical combination of "5" and "3" not only represents the year the sculpture was completed in 1984, the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but also commemorates the liberation of Hangzhou on May 3, 1949.

On the edge of the square, there are the Post and Telecommunications Building, the Hangzhou Theater, the most upscale hotels in Hangzhou at the time, the Hangcheng Tower and the International Building, the Hangcheng Tower Shopping Center and the International Building Shopping Center attached to these two buildings, as well as the Tianlong Commercial Building was also the most important department store in Hangzhou at that time.

In the square between the musical fountain and the Zhejiang Exhibition Hall, rows of simple sheds have been built. Under the sheds are stalls selling small commodities. This is the famous "Huanbei Small Commodity Market" in Hangzhou.

Separated from the Zhejiang Exhibition Center by the North Ring Road is the Wulinmen Wharf, formerly known as the Red Sun Wharf. Outside the wharf is the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which is connected to the Qiantang River. Upward from the Qiantang River is the Fuchun River, and further up is the Xinjiang River. Anjiang, three sections of the same river have three different names. Further up, there are Xin'anjiang Hydropower Station and Qiandao Lake.

Together with the West Lake, they form the golden tourist route of Three Rivers and Two Lakes.

When Zhang Chen was very young, he took a boat from Yongcheng to Hangzhou. It took a day, from the starting point to the end of this golden tourist route. At that time, he could not feel how beautiful the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait was. He just felt that on the boat The time is too long and annoying. I really hope to get to Hangzhou soon.

Now, this boat has been discontinued, but the bus from Yongcheng to Hangcheng still takes the bus at the nearby Wulinmen Station. The tour company's bus simply stops at the edge of Wulinmen Pier. People from Yongcheng to Hangcheng , the first thing he set foot on was the Wulin Gate. How could Zhang Chen be unfamiliar with this place.
