The train rumbled southward, passing through more than a dozen stations, large and small, and finally arrived in Guangzhou at noon the next day.
When I got out of the train station, a man in a Zhongshan suit with a dignified demeanor was already standing on the platform waiting for me.
Fan Hua and the other person followed Zheng Zening and his mother as they walked towards the man.
"Yongxian, these two are friends we met on the train, Fan Lihua and Geng Ailing."
Then she introduced Fan Hua and the other two, "This is my husband, Zheng Yongxian."
Fan Hua nodded and greeted Zheng Yongxian generously, "Hello, Uncle Zheng!"
Geng Ailing also followed Fan Hua's example and did the same.
Zheng Yongxian nodded lightly in response without saying much.
"Yongxian, I got along really well with these two friends on the train. Thanks to them, I wasn't too tired even though I didn't get a sleeper this time.
By the way, since they've just arrived in Guangzhou, I decided to lend them our empty house for a while. What do you think?"
"Just do it!" Although Zheng Yongxian's tone was flat, his eyes looking at Jiang Yuli were very gentle.
"Then let's send them to Wusi Road first, and then go home!" Jiang Yuli suggested.
"Okay!" Zheng Yongxian still answered simply and straightforwardly.
Fan Hua and the other person followed Jiang Yuli's family into the car.
Along the way, Fan Huadu looked out the window curiously at the southern scenery of the 1970s. There were many bicycles on the road, but very few people could ride in a car like them. It can be seen how extraordinary this family is!
Although it was already 1978, the streets were still dominated by gray Zhongshan suits, blue liberation suits, green military uniforms and dark blue Dacron shirts, and other bright colors were rarely seen.
As Fan Hua watched, she became even more determined to start with the clothing industry.
Because she knew that in the next few months, people's clothing will usher in a huge change from color to style. The sooner you start, the easier it will be to grow bigger and stronger! Especially in Guangzhou, which has been developing rapidly since then!
Twenty minutes later, the car slowly drove onto a street and stopped under a two-story building with an arcade.
Zheng Zening pointed to the second door on the second floor and said, "That's my house."
After saying this, he led Fan Hua and the other two up the stairs to the second floor. Zheng Yongxian and Jiang Yuli followed behind him.
Zheng Zening walked ahead, introducing the buildings. "There are a lot of these arcade buildings here in Guangzhou. The downstairs are shops, and the upstairs are residences. They're very different from the large courtyards in the north. But even though this place is small, life is very convenient. It's only a ten-minute walk to Zhuhai Square. Downstairs, there's a supply and marketing cooperative, a newsstand, a vegetable market, and a state-owned restaurant..."
Fan Hua walked along the long corridor and felt that this place was very similar to the tube-shaped building where she lived when she was teaching in college.
She knew very well that for a person in his seventies, this kind of accommodation was considered exceptionally good.
Zheng Zening opened the door lock. Inside the house were two simple small bedrooms, a small living room and a small kitchen. There was a small sofa in the living room. Both bedrooms also had windows and small cabinets. Through the windows, you could see the Pearl River in the distance.
Although no one lived in the room, it was very clean and tidy, and it was obvious that it had been cleaned not long ago.
Fan Hua looked around and felt that the only drawback was that there was no bathroom. To use the toilet and wash clothes, she had to go to the public toilet and washroom at the end of the corridor.
But I can only try to accept it, after all, this is the seventies generation!
"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Jiang Yuli asked with a smile.
"Very satisfied, thank you Aunt Jiang." Fan Hua replied with a smile.
"This is simply great! I've never lived in such a clean building!" Geng Ailing said excitedly.
