Chapter 151: Please give me votes, please give me votes, Mr. Clear Soup Man!
"Brother Chuan, what are you doing?"
Hearing his wife's voice, especially the word "Brother Chuan", Huo Beichuan almost wanted to put all his things back and decide not to go anywhere today and just stay in bed with his wife.
In front of outsiders, his wife calls him either "Lao Huo" or "Beichuan". When she calls him "Brother Chuan", it is usually in bed. How can the man stand it?
After all, thinking that they were out for a trip, Huo Beichuan continued what he was doing while explaining to his wife.
"I'll pack some things and we'll go out for a walk later. It's much hotter here in Guangzhou than where we are. I brought you some face wipes and some water. You have to bring them with you in case you get thirsty."
Chen Jintao was touched. This man looked rough, but he was actually very considerate. "You are so thoughtful. I love you so much!"
Faced with his wife's bold expression of her feelings, Huo Beichuan said he couldn't bear it, he really couldn't bear it. Fortunately, he was still rational, otherwise... well, it's hard to say.
"Have you rested? If you have, get up and let's go out for something to eat."
"Well, that's it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Beichuan brought her the clothes and shoes she was going to wear. Seeing that his wife was still dazed, Huo Beichuan simply helped her put on her clothes.
This action made Shen Jintao blush a little, but thinking about it as a couple, such behavior was normal. They had done more embarrassing things countless times. There was no need for her to be pretentious. She just let him do what he wanted. Even Huo Beichuan helped her put on her shoes. Shen Jintao felt at ease and enjoyed the man's thoughtful service.
After Chen Jintao had packed up, the two of them left the guesthouse directly. Guesthouses at that time were not as troublesome as hotels in later generations. When they left, they just had to lock the door and say hello to the guesthouse staff.
People nowadays are quite enthusiastic. The staff at the guesthouse saw that they were well dressed and were quite warm to them. They directly said that they would help keep an eye on them.
After all, there is no surveillance in this era, and there have been cases of things being lost in guesthouses, so the staff are very attentive now, especially to guests who are well dressed and obviously wealthy, as you never know what valuables they might have with them.
If something important is lost, it will be very troublesome for their guesthouse.
Chen Jintao smiled and took a handful of candy from her pocket and stuffed it into the staff members' pockets, asking them to share it.
Chen Jintao's action directly won the hearts of a group of staff members, and they all said that they would definitely help them keep an eye on it and not let them lose anything.
The two men walked out of the guesthouse and went straight to the state-owned hotel. When they arrived at the state-owned hotel, they were dumbfounded.
Most of the meals served in restaurants in Yangcheng are relatively light, which neither of them really likes.
But since I'm here, of course I have to try the local specialties. I can't say they are delicious, after all, the taste of each region is different.
But the taste is not bad, and it is quite fresh to eat it occasionally.
"Brother Chuan, where are we going later?"
Shen Jintao asked halfway through the meal.
"I asked around. There's a very large department store not far from here. It's bigger than any we've seen. It has several floors. And it's said that many foreigners shop there. There are many things in there that you can't buy anywhere else. Do you want to go shopping there?"
Huo Beichuan asked.
Chen Jintao shook her head and said, "Let's not go there for now. Let's go buy things when we are about to go back. Otherwise, if we bring a lot of things back to the guesthouse so early, it might cause trouble."
"My wife, you are so attentive." Huo Beichuan praised her without hesitation.
Yangcheng is also close to the sea, but for the young couple, the sea has no appeal anymore. After all, they face the sea every day in the army and they really have no interest in it.
"Then let's just go out for a stroll today? How about we go to Baiyun Mountain tomorrow?"
"That's a good idea." Shen Jintao nodded in agreement.
It's already time for dinner, so it would be too late to go hiking.
Just go out for a walk and then go to Baiyun Mountain tomorrow.
At that time, Baiyun Mountain had not yet developed into a scenic spot. Although some people would go to the mountain to walk around and climb, it was not as crowded as it is in later generations.
Chen Jintao had never been to Yangcheng at this time in her previous life. She still wanted to see what Baiyun Mountain looked like without being polluted.
Baiyun Mountain is the most attractive attraction in Guangzhou. Even with the developed tourism industry in later generations, Baiyun Mountain is still a 5A-level scenic spot.
After dinner, the couple walked around the streets of Guangzhou.
The two found that people's clothing here was obviously more bold, with bright colors, and some women even curled their hair, looking particularly fashionable.
Moreover, everyone gives people a very confident feeling, walking on the street with their heads held high, unlike in previous years when they had to be timid when going out, for fear that they would be too high-profile and attract trouble.
Seeing this scene, Shen Jintao was undoubtedly excited. If it was already like this in Yangcheng, it meant that other places were not far away.
"It seems like my wife's place is much better developed than ours." Huo Beichuan couldn't help but sigh, "Look at those buildings, many of them are six or seven stories high."
It’s not that Huo Beichuan has never seen the world. The main reason is that neither his hometown nor the army has developed so rapidly. Most of the buildings are only four stories high. For Huo Beichuan, this is already a very tall building.
"This is nothing. In the future, there will be real skyscrapers, even buildings with more than 100 floors. Don't you think it's hard to imagine?"
Shen Jintao asked with a smile.
"That's true." Huo Beichuan nodded seriously.
However, his wives had already told him about these things, so he was not particularly surprised, but he could not suppress the joy on his face.
After all, he had only heard about the country's future development before, but after coming to Yangcheng, he could feel the benefits that economic development would bring to the people. As a soldier, what Huo Beichuan wanted to see most was a scene of peace and prosperity. Although the current Yangcheng is not as exaggerated as in later generations, and can even be considered very poor in comparison, it did not affect Huo Beichuan's discovery that the country was slowly changing.
"Wife, if you do what you said, I will be able to see such a scene in the future. I feel very honored just thinking about it."
Chen Jintao also smiled, "Yes, by that time we will both be quite old, I wonder if you will retire by then? If you retire, we can still travel around the country and visit every place."
