I used to be called Niu Million

Chapter 271 From Hegang in Jixi, from south to north!
On the last row of seats are the expired food purchased by this group from Niu Wenju, which expires in three days. Now that it is autumn, these people are not worried about food spoilage.

It takes at least four hours from Harbin to Hegang, and Tong Wan and Niu Wenju drove alternately.

A few migrant workers in the car spread the snakeskin bags on the luggage rolls on the ground, just in time to play poker. Compared with the past, they not only saved travel expenses this time, but also saved a lot of money on buying gifts for their families. Let go, play poker for a dime!
Niu Wenju had never been to Hegang. From Quan Xingxing's description in the past, it should be a very prosperous city, but when he entered the main city, Niu Wenju was immediately overwhelmed.

Under the setting sun, the dimly lit buildings are lifeless, all of which are old-fashioned residential buildings and products of mass industrialization.

Looking at those so-called landmarks, which were also products of the 90s when they were listed, it was difficult for Niu Wenju to compare this city with the famous city he had heard.

After all, this place used to be a taxed farming land in HLJ province. Back then, many rural people came here to work and dig coal with their bags on their backs, so it was absolutely no problem to support their families.

There is a famous saying in HLJ: those who come from the south go north, and those who come from Hegang in Jixi... This shows the important position of this city in HLJ.

But now there are not many people in this city, and many old people are strolling on both sides of the street.

"Er Dou, is this Hegang? Did we go wrong?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Niu Wenju turned his head to look at Sun Erdou, and then at Lao Zou.

"Boss Niu, don't be surprised, this is our Hegang! Longmei has started to reduce production now, and many people have been laid off! Our old man used to work in the mine, and now he has a pension!"

"Old Zou was laid off, and he was bought out a few years ago! Their family members are basically the same! Our whole Hegang is called an ordinary person who either works in the mine, or his family has a relationship with the mine!"

"Our city has a nickname, the place where widows are made! A few years ago, most of the old and migrant workers went to the mines and couldn't come to work. The daughter-in-law got the compensation and married other people directly, so people who couldn't find a partner outside before basically Come to the mine, as long as you are not deaf, lame or blind, you can find a wife here!"

"Especially if you are from the mine, the widows stick it on your body, now...hehe!"

Speaking of Hegang's glory and present, Sun Erdou and Lao Zou were full of helplessness.

Hegang, a star-level city that was once very famous in the whole country, used to be the place where young people's dreams began for so many generations, including Sun Erdou's parents.

Now here are only the descendants of the eldest sons of the Republic who stick to it sporadically. Their loyalty to the country and their love for the industry make many people still do jobs arranged by the state in this highly polluted and highly unemployed city.

Is it because these people don't know how to make progress?inappropriate!

In layman's terms, everyone who lives in this city is already used to the life here, until they are abandoned by the times and feel unfamiliar with the outside world before they realize that everything built by their parents has gradually no longer needed them. .

People who have worked in coal mines for a long time will be left with some diseases more or less, the serious one is the smoke and dust fee, such as Sun Erdou's father.

The old lady passed away a few years ago, and now only the old man is left with a small pension in the family.

Years ago, the old man fell ill, and the family had no money to treat the illness, so they sold the building.

Fortunately, the original unit gave some subsidies, but it was still a drop in the bucket for the elderly's illness. Sun Erdou could only leave his daughter-in-law who had just given birth to take care of the elderly at home, and went south to Harbin to work alone.

There are many young people in the same situation as Sun Erdou, some with their families, and some who finally returned to this city out of helplessness, just to accompany the old man in his last time.

A large number of young people have gained a firm foothold in a certain city in the south, and all the old people in the family have gone south, leaving behind patches of abandoned real estate to watch the city quietly, because no one wants it at all.

"Brother Wenju, the residential building over there belongs to the No. [-] factory, over there is the auxiliary machinery factory, over there is the coal washing machine factory, over there is the accessory factory..."

Along the way home, Sun Erdou kept showing Niu Wenju the abandoned residential buildings on the roadside.

A large number of residential buildings had glass shattered, walls peeled off and no one repaired them, and some communities were simply closed.

Niu Wenju originally wanted to live in a hotel, but Sun Erdou took Niu Wenju and the two to his own community. After returning home, he took out a bunch of keys and opened a house on the second floor downstairs.

The furniture in the house is complete, but there is a bit of dust. It can be seen that the decoration of this house cost a lot of money, and the floor tiles are all imported.

"Brother Wenju, this is my dad's former colleague. The whole family has gone to the south. Let us look at some houses here. You can live as long as you want! There are old people and children in our family, and they are very smelly, so we don't invite them." You went up..."

Speaking of the situation at home, Sun Erdou scratched his head with embarrassment in his eyes.

Now that the daughter-in-law takes care of the elderly in such an environment every day, Sun Erdou's heart is full of sadness.

"It's nothing, you're busy, please help me with some snacks for you, let's go out and eat some after the family is calmed down, and I happen to have a taste of your food!"

Niu Wenju also took care of the elderly, and from the expression on the other side, it could be seen that the other side was not feeling well.

After much deliberation, she finally gave up the idea of ​​going upstairs to visit, and asked Tong Wan to get some special products for the other party, after all, she had plenty of them there.

Sun Erdou was very grateful, and Niu Wenju and Tong Wan simply cleaned up.

Because it came in a hurry, Liu Yumin drove away the better mini car, this time it was a grocery shopping cart, and Liu Yumin arranged for the transportation at home.

Both of them were not wearing very good clothes. Niu Wenju simply tidied up the bedroom of the house, and Tong Wan went downstairs to tidy up the miniature car.

"Brother Wenju, can you take my dad to the hospital, the situation..."

"Tong Wan, come up quickly!"

Niu Wenju hadn't finished cleaning half of the place when Sun Erdou ran down the stairs, and he knew what was going on by his face.

Niu Wenju hurriedly greeted Tong Wan. Not long after, Tong Wan came down from upstairs holding a scrawny old man, followed by a very haggard woman who looked like she had just cried and was only 1.6 meters tall.

There is still a child on his back, and the white fleece close-fitting has turned yellow. This scene looks so sad and sad.

The simple camp bed was left behind, and the old man was put on it. Niu Wenju drove the car himself this time, and Sun Erdou sat on the co-pilot to direct the route, and the car went straight into the staff hospital.

Tong Wan and Sun Erdou carried the old man into the elevator together, and Sun Erdou's daughter-in-law wiped tears as she walked behind her.
