After leaving the train station, Mrs. Shen saw a number of red cars lined up outside to solicit passengers.
The car had a flat shape, and the metallic paint on it was shiny red. There were also the words "rental" on the roof. I couldn't help but ask Shen Zhishu curiously, "Wa'er, what kind of car is that? Can it be rented out?"
Shen Zhile smiled and said, "That's a taxi. After you get in the car, you tell the driver where you want to go and he will take you there. Just pay when you get there."
"Oh! I see. It's just like when we used to hire a bullock cart to go to town. We still have to pay. Big cities are big cities. All the taxis here are sedans. So cool! We still drive vans in the county."
Old Man Shen echoed, "Yeah, our little county town is nothing, how can it compare to a big city like this?"
Shen Zhishu led the family to the taxi in front, "Grandpa and grandma, let's take a taxi to the hotel."
"Stay in a hotel?" Old Mrs. Shen felt a pang of pain again, "With so many of us, isn't it a bit expensive? How about staying in a guesthouse?"
Shen Zhishu laughed, "Grandma, there are very few guesthouses in Guangcheng, and they are very hard to find. But there are hotels all over the street. We not only want to stay in a hotel, but also a five-star one. You don't have to worry about the price. Aren't we here to enjoy ourselves? Let's go!"
"That's right, old woman, you've never been out of the countryside in your life. It's not easy to come to the big city, why are you fussing so much? What's the point? Just listen to the boss's arrangements!"
"Grandma, now that you're here, you don't have to worry about anything, just have fun."
After Old Man Shen and Fu Bao said so, Old Lady Shen naturally had nothing to say, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, it's not my money, so I don't feel bad."
That being said, everyone in the family could see that Mrs. Shen was still stingy with money and didn't want her children and grandchildren to spend it on her.
Because there were so many people in the family and we had a lot of luggage, we called two taxis.
Chen Zhishu, the old couple and Fubao were in one car, and the other three boys were in another. The taxi drove along the street. Fubao looked out of the window curiously and saw many tall buildings outside that she had never seen in the county town, as well as many brand new residential buildings. Of course, there were also some shabby bungalows, but they were much better than those in the county town.
There were a lot of people on the street, both men and women were dressed very fashionably, wearing big sunglasses to look very stylish. Most people were riding motorcycles, and there were also many cars.
Old Mrs. Shen also looked outside and exclaimed, "Guangcheng is indeed a big city. The people here must be very rich. Look at what they wear, they are much more decent than what we wear."
As a person who likes to read newspapers, Old Man Shen naturally knows that Guangcheng is the fastest developing area after the reform and opening up.
He agreed, "Yes, the people of Guangcheng are probably among the richest in the country, thanks to the good policies! I heard there is a big city near Guangcheng. It was a shabby little fishing village ten years ago, but with the policy support, it developed all of a sudden!"
"Really? That's amazing! It would be great if our village could develop and become a big city someday."
The old couple looked outside intently. They had never seen such a prosperous city in their entire lives. They felt that their eyes were almost not enough and they were indescribably shocked.
