Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi took a two-hour train ride and finally arrived in Hangzhou.
As soon as he stepped out of the train station, low, old buildings came into Ye Beiping's view.
In his previous life, Ye Beiping visited Hangzhou in the 1990s. Now, seeing Hangzhou in the late 1970s, he sighed softly.
Sure enough, Hangzhou developed very well during the economic reforms of the 1980s. In the late 1970s, Hangzhou did not have the skyscrapers one might imagine; instead, there were mostly buildings no more than five or six stories high.
"What's wrong with you?" Su Xinyi asked, frowning as she saw Ye Beiping staring blankly.
Ye Beiping realized what was happening and replied with a smile, "Nothing much, just a feeling that Hangzhou doesn't have the skyscrapers I imagined."
“Uh…” Su Xinyi was speechless.
Pingba Village doesn't even have three-story buildings in sight, so why is Ye Beiping looking down on Hangzhou?
Ye Beiping smiled, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and hailed a yellow tricycle.
"Xinyi, let's go. We'll go to your house first and visit your parents."
After hesitating for a moment, Su Xinyi said, "Let's go look at the house first. We can go tomorrow."
Before she returned, Ye Beiping asked her to call home to let them know.
After being away from home for three years, Su Xinyi discovered that she had no way to contact her parents.
I used to remember my father's work phone number, but now I've completely forgotten it.
Suddenly told that she had to go back, Su Xinyi, who was eager to go home, suddenly felt a little timid.
Ye Beiping saw through Su Xinyi's thoughts and smiled as he placed his hands on her shoulders: "Xinyi, no matter what, we're family. There's no hurdle we can't overcome."
"Listen to me, let's go to your house first."
As he spoke, he helped Su Xinyi onto the tricycle.
Su Xinyi pursed her lips, mustered her courage, and gave the tricycle driver an address: "Wen'er New Village Community".
"Okay!" the master grinned and said.
Ye Beiping was unaware of this Wen'er New Village residential area.
Built in 1965, it is a famous small Western-style building in Hangzhou.
With the name "Wen'er" attached, Ye Beiping roughly knew the location; it belonged to the West Lake District of his previous life. In a few decades, the housing prices would be 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per square meter—a central location in Hangzhou.
The tricycle driver wiggled his hips, sweating profusely.
Su Xinyi looked around from behind, her eyes filled with memories.
Only Ye Beiping seemed lost in thought, staring blankly at the cars passing by on the roadside.
Even in the late 1970s, it was rare to see a Santana car that cost over 100,000 yuan.
Most of them are government vehicles, or cars owned by factory directors of well-performing state-owned factories who, seeking comfort, bought a car.
However, there are still some taxis, Fiat cars, and cars with Shanghai license plates, but they are not commonly seen.
It took about an hour to ride the tricycle from the train station to Wen'er Xincun residential area.
Ye Beiping only saw four or five taxis on the road, unlike in his previous life when a taxi would drive past him every few minutes.
Sometimes there are even four or five cars parked together.
We finally arrived at Wen'er New Village.
Five- or six-story buildings appeared in front of Ye Beiping, numbering about a dozen.
It's much more impressive than the houses next door.
Su Xinyi stood at the entrance of the residential area for a long time. Although there were no security guards or gatekeepers, Ye Beiping felt that this was not a good thing. He thought she was planning to steal things from the residential area at night.
"Xinyi, shall we go buy something over there?" he said, pulling out a stack of tickets he had prepared beforehand.
In this day and age, you can go out without money, but you absolutely must have a ticket.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to move an inch.
You need a ticket to buy anything.
Upon hearing this, Su Xinyi nodded and led Ye Beiping to a nearby state-run store.
Under Ye Beiping's careful selection, a serving of milk candy, Moutai liquor, and malted milk powder were all ordered.
"You don't need to buy so much." Su Xinyi felt a little distressed; it was all money.
Although Ye Beiping has made a lot of money, he still has many places to spend money in Hangzhou.
How can you be so extravagant?
Ye Beiping said nonchalantly, "Money is worthless, you can earn more after you've spent it."
Pfft!
This was the first time Su Xinyi had heard of such a saying; it was extremely interesting.
The slight melancholy I felt earlier vanished after Ye Beiping made a joke.
Led by her, Ye Beiping arrived at Su Xinyi's apartment building.
"Second floor," Su Xinyi pointed to the small Western-style building in front of her.
Without saying a word, Ye Beiping picked up his things and went upstairs.
"Why……"
Su Xinyi hurriedly caught up from behind, fearing that Ye Beiping would have a conflict with his family.
Knock knock knock!
Knock knock knock!
Su Xinyi's heart nearly jumped out of her throat when she saw Ye Beiping raise his hand to knock on the door.
The next moment, Ye Beiping knocked on the door a dozen times, but received no response. He knocked twice more forcefully, but still received no response.
"Have they all gone to work?" Ye Beiping asked, frowning.
Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pulled Ye Beiping back downstairs: "They've probably all gone to work. Let's look for a place to live first."
Looking for a place to live?
Ye Beiping frowned: "You've already gone home, why do you still want to move out? Even if you find a place, you can't move in right away."
Ye Beiping said this on purpose.
The main goal is to help Su Xinyi and her family resolve their conflicts, as this stalemate can't continue indefinitely.
If they develop their careers in Hangzhou in the future, Su Xinyi, who is heavily pregnant, will need someone to take care of her.
It's not that Ye Beiping couldn't take care of her; in both his past and present lives, he had never taken care of a pregnant woman before, so there were bound to be oversights.
