Chapter 415 Badaling
After hearing this, Ms. Deng did not ask any more questions.
At Xia Zhizhi's age, she would be able to go on blind dates in other families, but she has an older sister who is almost 30 years old, so her family will not pay too much attention to her.
Deng Nutu was not feeling well. After finishing her work, she talked with Xia Zhizhi for a long time. Seeing that she was a little tired, Xia Zhizhi helped her lie down and prepared to stroll back to find her grandma.
On the way, I met an elderly man who was getting in a car and preparing to go out for a meeting.
Xia Zhizhi greeted the old man and was about to leave when she saw the old man's legs trembling at the car door.
Xia Zhizhi suddenly realized that the old man was also old and not in very good health. Due to old injuries, his legs and feet were not very flexible and it was difficult for him to get in and out of the car. But he was very strong and didn't say much.
She stepped forward, helped the old man into the car, and watched it drive away.
Because the elder of the Xia family called Xia Qingqing yesterday, when she returned home in the evening, Xia Qingqing was waiting for her at home.
After dinner, the two of them slept in the same quilt and talked for a long time. Most of the time, Xia Qingqing asked her about her recent situation. After all, Xia Qingqing was the eldest sister and cared a lot about her younger sister.
Xia Zhizhi had mentioned this content several times, and she had said enough. She briefly talked about it and asked about Xia Qingqing's recent situation.
Xia Qingqing lives a normal working life and even went to a movie studio to shoot two promotional videos this year.
As for love affairs, including blind dates, he didn't tell Xia Zhizhi about them.
While eating, Xia Zhizhi felt that Xia Qingqing's relationship with her family seemed a little unnatural. She guessed that it was probably because of Xia Qingqing's life-long event.
But no one said anything.
It looked like Xia Qingqing didn't intend to tell her.
Xia Zhizhi has always been a person who turns a blind eye to things and doesn't take things seriously. Although she had noticed something, since everyone didn't want her to know, she pretended not to know.
Everyone has their own practice in life. If someone asks her, she will express her opinion. If no one asks her, she won't say anything.
She is like this to her friends and also to her family members.
The next day, the family continued to work, while Xia Zhizhi went out to hang out with friends for a day, and learned that Wang Lizhen (the female supporting role who pushed the male protagonist into the pit) was going to get married soon.
Her boyfriend was in the army, working in the Capital Military Region. They were both talented and beautiful, and they were a perfect match. After dating for a while and reaching the age where they were supposed to be, the elders had originally planned to get them married by the end of this year.
However, the man wanted to get married a month earlier due to work. The two families knew each other well and had already discussed the gift and dowry. The Wang family understood the future son-in-law's work and naturally agreed.
Wang Lizhen was always good at thinking. Seeing Xia Zhizhi, she was so happy that she took her hand and said excitedly, "I sent you a telegram a few days ago, but I didn't see you reply. I thought you couldn't come. I didn't expect you to come back now. You are really my best friend. You are so loyal!"
Xia Zhizhi was still in the car a few days ago. How could she know this? It was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse by chance.
But Xia Zhizhi was not disappointed, and said with a smile: "Look at what you said, marriage is such a big deal, it's fine if I don't know, but if I know, I will definitely come."
In the past year, Wang Lizhen has been traveling between the company and home every day. Her job is very leisurely and easy at the moment.
But as long as it is work, doing too much will always make people feel tired.
Seeing Xia Zhizhi coming back, Wang Lizhen became lazy and didn't want to go to work. She immediately thought of an excuse to go shopping for wedding supplies with her good friends and asked for two days off from work to have a rest.
There was no need to embroider a wedding dress these days, and the betrothal gifts and dowry were all taken care of by the elders, so Wang Lizhen had nothing to do with them.
She didn't have to buy anything and could spare two days to have fun. She excitedly suggested to Xia Zhizhi: "We have some free time. Let's go to Badaling to climb the Great Wall together tomorrow!"
Xia Zhizhi looked at Wang Lizhen with suspicion: "Are you sure you want to climb the Great Wall?"
Wang Lizhen's self-esteem was hurt, and she glared at her in dissatisfaction: "What do you mean? Don't you believe me? Do you think I can't climb up?"
Xia Zhizhi nodded: "The Badaling section is quite difficult to climb. With your physical strength, I think it's difficult."
Wang Lizhen put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "It would be fine if you don't worry about yourself, but you're worried about me. With your small physique, you can't even crawl three steps. You still have to rely on me to pull you up!"
As far as Xia Zhizhi understood Wang Lizhen, this girl was not physically strong and was not very fond of sports on weekdays. Apart from commuting to get off work and shopping, she probably did not do any other extra exercise.
There are no cable cars or scooters these days, so you have to walk everywhere. Moreover, the bus stop is quite a distance away from the tourist area, so you have to walk there too. It is not an easy activity.
But then I thought, since everyone rides a bicycle to and from work, they have gotten some exercise, so it shouldn't be a big problem. If it really doesn't work, I can just let Ah Ju drag Wang Lizhen along.
As for Xia Zhizhi herself, it was just Badaling. Considering her physical strength, it was naturally a small matter and no problem at all.
Thinking that he had never climbed the Great Wall in his life, he nodded and said, "Okay, let's set out early tomorrow and meet at Xizhimen first."
There are few buses these days, so you have to take a bus from Xizhimen to Nankou, and then take a train to Badaling from Nankou.
It takes about two hours to drive to Badaling.
If you don't hurry up, you might miss your train home after climbing the Great Wall.
Wang Lizhen naturally had no objection to the suggestion of setting off early. She also wanted to discuss bringing some food with her. There were few tourists these days, so there was no need to expect tourist attractions to sell everything. She still had to bring her own food and drinks to avoid going hungry.
How could Xia Zhizhi count on her physical strength? She hurriedly said, "No, no, you just need to travel light. I will prepare food and drink. Xia Zhi will also go tomorrow. Let him help carry the things."
After hearing this, Wang Lizhen stopped.
The next morning, the two gathered and took a train to Badaling. At that time, there was no train station in Badaling, so the train could only go to Qinglong Bridge. After getting off the train, they had to walk for another 20 minutes to reach the scenic spot.
At present, the rest time of each company in Beijing is different. Some companies have rest time from Monday to Saturday, but not many companies actually have rest time on Sunday.
The purpose of rotation is to avoid peak electricity consumption, so that companies will not increase electricity consumption all at once through rotation.
It happened that several large companies were closed today, so everyone went out to do personal work together, so there were quite a few people on the bus.
After riding the green train for nearly two hours, the three got off the train. Xia Zhizhi and Wang Lizhen both looked pale.
Fortunately, they were young after all, and they drank some water and rested on a stone bench by the roadside, and soon recovered.
There were a few groups of people on the road, in twos and threes, and they all seemed to be here to climb the Great Wall. We were lucky today as there were quite a lot of tourists.
However, this number of tourists, compared with later times, can be said to be very small.
