urban life

Chapter 580 I Have Changed

A journey that just goes away.

After a brief explanation, Zhou Liang left without anyone traveling with him.

For this trip, he had no plan, no direction, and no purpose. He didn't even drive his family's RV. He only relied on public transportation. Even when he left the Demon City, he took the bus.

No matter where you go.

At this moment, he was sitting in the car, looking outside, and the scene on the roadside was imprinted in his eyes.

It was in vain that he had lived in this city for more than 20 years. He considered himself to be an authentic Shanghainese and knew everything about this city. However, these days, he suddenly found that he was too proud.

I don’t know much about Magic City, not even the tip of the iceberg.

The Magic City is not just about feasting and living, there are countless ordinary people living in urban villages, old houses, suburbs, and rural areas. There are large areas of agricultural land on both sides of the road with crops planted.

I heard that in the past few years, the city wanted to acquire agricultural land to build houses, shopping malls, and parks. However, after consideration by Shangfeng, it was decided to abandon that idea, leaving behind a large area of ​​agricultural land and countless beautiful scenery.

It's a pity that the locals suffered so much.

I originally thought that the government would compensate me a large amount of money and achieve financial freedom, but in the end, my joy was in vain.

Unknowingly, the magic city expanded a lot, and it took Zhou Liang three days to get out of the city.

For the rest of the time, he walked aimlessly among the mountains and rivers as he pleased.

After living for decades, one should naturally understand the deeds of the mountains and rivers of the motherland.

I have been to Shenzhen City and experienced the booming domestic economy.

To be fair, Shenzhen City and Magic City are both municipalities directly under the central government with the same political status, but their economic development has taken different paths.

For 100 years, Magic City has been the most economically developed place. Major well-known companies are headquartered in Magic City. To develop in this city, you must have connections and resources.It only took decades for Shenzhen City to develop. If you want to settle in Shenzhen City, ability is necessary.

To put it bluntly, the devil's capital pays attention to the sophistication of the world, while the deep and dark cities all rely on their own abilities.

The girls in the Shenzhen city seem to be more enthusiastic and straightforward. They don't have as many tricks as the girls in the Shanghai city and are willing to do anything for money.

When I arrived in Shenzhen City, I naturally wanted to go to Xiangjiang to see it. It was not as beautiful as I imagined. It was particularly discriminatory towards outsiders and seemed to have a natural sense of superiority. When I heard that Zhou Liang was from Shanghai, he immediately changed his face. His face changed very quickly. It would be a pity to perform "Face Changing".

He then took a boat directly north, disembarked in the northeast, and went to his mother Hou Mengting's hometown. No one had lived in it for a long time. The house was in tatters and the entire village had withered. Only a few old people guarded the village alone.

In the trend of economic development, those old people were abandoned by the times and were unwilling to leave Zhuangzi.

He then went south to the capital and visited famous scenic spots, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and Tiananmen Square.
Because Zhou Liang managed all tourist attractions psychologically, he didn’t have too many expectations, so he naturally had a great time.

In life, sometimes living a little depressed seems to be a happy thing.

For example, his psychological expectation for the Great Wall was 0 points, but when he saw some fun things during the climb, his score naturally improved, and he suddenly became happy.

Traveling to the northwest, I saw what kind of customs and customs there were. The yellow sand filled the sky, and there were many sunny days and white clouds, which was a bit more novel.I also climbed the Himalayas, but unfortunately I was not as strong as Zhou Lingmeng, so I gave up after less than a day.

He is not the kind of person who is willing to be cruel to himself.

Of course, during the trip, Zhou Liang did not give up his work. Even when he was outside, he still went to work and held conference calls with his subordinates. He listened at all times and gave brief explanations, leaving the rest to his subordinates.

After traveling around the country for a long time, Zhou Liang returned to his hometown before he knew it.

Peach Blossom Town.

"Ah, Brother Liang." Li Feng walked past the door and saw him lying in the yard, his eyes lit up, "When did you come back?"

"I haven't been back for a few days." Zhou Liang sat up straight and glanced at the woman next to Li Feng. She was in her prime, with young beauty, and they were holding their arms closely at the moment. "Who is this?"

Hearing this, Li Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a high-spirited look, "My girlfriend, Yang Xi."

"Hello, Brother Liang." His girlfriend smiled slightly at Zhou Liang.

"Hello." Zhou Liang also smiled back and said softly, "How long can I wait for you two to have a banquet?"

"Hehe, it's coming soon." Li Feng scratched the back of his head and responded in a teasing tone: "Brother Liang will give me a big red envelope, at least six digits, otherwise I will never accept it. .”

"."

Even after several years, this kid still looks bohemian.

Making his girlfriend roll her eyes at him.

After a brief chat, the two left immediately.

Li Feng originally invited Zhou Liang to have a casual meal together, but the latter declined softly and the former did not ask too much.

"Who is Brother Liang?" After leaving Zhou's house, Yang Xi held his arm and asked Li Feng.

"Looks handsome, doesn't he?" Li Feng raised his chin, "Brother Liang's family is the richest family in our town. He made a fortune decades ago and established a foundation in the Magic City. Now Liang Brother is the owner of a company. I heard that the company is worth several billions."

When her boyfriend finished speaking, Yang Xi rolled his eyes at him and said helplessly: "Brother Liang, what does his status have to do with you? Why are you so proud? Do you act like you are the boss?"

After a pause, he continued: "What I'm saying is, Brother Liang seems to have a relationship with my sister."

"Sister?" Li Feng tilted his head and was stunned.

Suddenly, he finally came to his senses and asked who the "sister" his girlfriend was talking about was.

It's his elder sister, Li Lin.

"Is it related?" Li Feng was confused and asked, "What is the relationship between the two of them? Isn't it just that when my grandfather passed away a few years ago, I met him once, and at most we chatted a few times, and there was no other contact with him. ah?"

"You~~~" Yang Xi stretched out his finger and poked Li Feng's temple, with an expression of hatred on his face, "Can you think of something in your mind?"

"Some time ago, I accidentally opened the manuscript of a novel written by my sister. The male protagonist in each novel has the same name, Zhou Liang. I thought that the name of the protagonist was randomly chosen by my sister and had no meaning, but I saw it today. Brother Liang, I think that name is definitely not a coincidence, there must be a connection."

Compared to Li Feng, Yang Xi was a little more clever and spiritual. After thinking about it for a while, he associated the two with each other.

Hearing his girlfriend's speculation, Li Feng frowned and then fell into thinking.

The two walked slowly.

Li Feng tilted his head: "That's it?"

"That's enough." Yang Xi said with a serious face, and the look on his face was extremely determined, "If my sister has nothing to do with Brother Liang, my surname is not Yang."

Li Feng: "Then what's your last name?"

Yang Xi rolled his eyes: "Is it OK to take your last name?"

"OK!" Hearing this, Li Feng slapped his thigh, "That's it, I'll go ask my sister now."

Yang Xi pulled the other party: "Can you please use your brain? Since neither sister nor Brother Liang has spoken out, it means that the two of them have a grudge and don't want to speak out. If you ask blatantly, you are not opening up their wounds." Yan, Li Feng, when will you mature?"

"Then I don't care. I just want to ask. My marriage is entirely in my hands. She must agree to it for my brother."

"."

After the two left Zhou's house, Zhou Liang was still lying lazily on the chair. In this summer, the sun was shining on his body and he was a little hot, so he moved to a cool place. Although it was still a little hot, it was bearable.

Zhou Liang felt that he was a little perverted. He had to lie down in the yard without turning on the air conditioner at home, but he actually felt a little bit enjoying himself.

Night fell silently.

Zhou Liang stretched out, turned on the street lamp in the yard, dispersed the darkness, and walked slowly to the kitchen.

After a while, a bowl of noodles was brought out, with vegetables piled on top and some spicy oil added, which was quite appetizing.

After dinner, he immediately went outside.When returning home, Zhou Liang would take a walk outside every night, first to exercise, and secondly, to take a walk at night in summer, with a slight breeze blowing, which was cool and comfortable.

"Zhou Liang is back?"

"Ah."

"Have you eaten? Let's eat together."

"Eat, thank you grandma."

"Do you have a girlfriend? Let me introduce you to one."

Zhou Liang did not refuse: "Thank you grandma."

He knew that these neighbors didn't really want to introduce him, because everyone knew about his family background and asked himself that there was no one in the town who was worthy of him, so why bother asking for trouble.

The question I just asked was just a small talk to introduce the topic.

When people are old, they only have a few topics to talk about with young people, such as work, marriage, and children. Chatting always requires some topics to lead to what to say next.

Zhou Liang responded to his neighbor with a smile. He was not unhappy at all, but he replied with interest.

Living in big cities all year round, the copper and iron walls of big cities have isolated the relationship between neighbors in the street, and people have become much stranger to each other. Familiar neighbor relationships can only be found in rural areas. We have been neighbors for many years, and counting. Three generations, more or less connected by blood.

Zhou Liang clasped his hands behind his back, like an old man, and even his temperament was more like an old man.

"Hey, hello, uncle."

At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from behind Zhou Liang.

He turned back with a soft smile on his face: "Hello, aunt."

There is a woman in the back, wearing a long white dress, spotless, like the white snow on an iceberg.

It is seriously inconsistent with the image of aunt.

"Hey! Hello, my dear grandson." The woman in the white dress narrowed her eyes and patted his shoulder, assuming the posture of an elder.

Zhou Liang responded; "Not good."

"What's wrong?"

"It's not good anywhere." Zhou Liang answered honestly.

"Oh." The woman in the white dress nodded, "I'm sorry, aunt, I'm good at everything. Ever since I left you, I feel good eating, my body is in great shape, and I feel indescribably happy."

The two walked side by side, walking slowly.

There are only a few people in Peach Blossom Town, so everyone knows each other without looking up.

At this moment, everyone walking around looked at them strangely, full of curiosity.

The two responded with smiles, as if they had agreed upon it, without responding or explaining.

"What a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence."

"Where have you been all these years?"

“Travel around the country.”

"almost."

"almost?"

"I also took a tour and finally returned to Peach Blossom Town."

"That's a coincidence." Li Lin made two dimples on the corners of her mouth, "Why did you return to Peach Blossom Town again?"

"I don't know!" Zhou Liang replied, "I just want to go home and have a look."

Suddenly he stopped and turned his head to look at the other person. His face was still so delicate, with a slightly raised nose, fair and smooth skin, and his eyes were looking straight at him. The other person was facing his aggressive face. His eyes were not afraid, but he raised his chin and stared.

The two just looked at each other.

Zhou Liang withdrew his gaze: "You have changed a lot over the years."

"That's right." Li Lin nodded, "I can't always live in the past. I have to look forward. Otherwise, that person's life will be a complete failure, don't you think?"

"You don't seem to have changed at all over the years?"

"Changed." Zhou Liang put his hands in his pockets.

"What has changed?" Li Lin looked at him.

Zhou Liang looked at the sky in the west. The setting sun dyed the sky red and was extremely gorgeous. Suddenly, the sun set over the mountain. He was silent for a moment and replied softly: "He has become more handsome."

puff!

"Hahaha~~~"

What followed was a burst of loud laughter, echoing around, as if a stone was dropped into the water and the water rippled.

"Hahaha~~~"

Scientific research shows that laughter is contagious.

Li Lin's smile caused Zhou Liang to smile and laugh loudly.

At this moment, two people, a man and a woman, Li Feng and Yang Xi, were squatting in a corner that they were unaware of.

They looked directly at Zhou Liang and Li Lin, and then looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity.

"What are they laughing at?"

"Well" Yang Xi puffed out his mouth slightly, looked at the two people in front of him, thought deeply, and said, "I don't know!"

"You don't have to pretend like that."

"You care about me?" Yang Xi rolled his eyes, held his arms and acted coquettishly. Suddenly he thought of something, lowered his head and lowered his voice: "I told you that there is definitely an ulterior relationship between them. You didn't believe it yet, but now you do. Right? Let me tell you, a woman’s intuition is always the best compass.”

Li Feng nodded: "Indeed!"

Li Feng knew her sister too well. She was an extremely special person. Since she was a child, few people could get into her heart. She had not had many friends for a long time, let alone friends of the opposite sex.

Zhou Liang was actually able to chat with his sister, and from the moment they met, he saw that bright smile on his sister's face, which was very difficult. There were countless complex emotions in the smile, such as helplessness, surprise, and relief.
Anyway, Zhou Liang was the first person in Li Feng to see his sister smile like that.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, don't be stunned, look quickly." Suddenly, Yang Xi's voice woke up Li Feng who was deep in thought, and then looked around, his eyes instantly widened like copper bells.

Not far away, Zhou Liang and Li Lin naturally took each other's hands, held them gently, and walked forward side by side, with the setting sun lengthening their shadows.

Until the two figures disappeared from Li Feng's sight, the latter came back to his senses, suddenly jumped up, and raised his voice an octave: "Oh my god! So, they have already had an affair!"

".Adultery?"

"Adultery! I actually didn't see it. They are having adultery. So Brother Liang is going to become my brother-in-law?"

"."
