Chapter 219 Winter 2019 (4)

Due to all the preparatory work done before the bid opening, the Tongxin Siyuan project successfully won the bid.In order to celebrate, the salesman Chen Xiaobing specially invited Chen Mo and Han Tao to have a hot pot meal. After the hot pot was finished, Han Tao and Chen Mo rushed back to the hotel to do the final review of Zhangye Siyuan School's bidding documents.

The next day was Saturday, and Han Tao took a bus to Yinchuan. He was going to fly from Yinchuan to Zhengzhou, and then take the high-speed train to Tongbai.The tender for the Tongbai project will be opened next Wednesday, and he can just arrive in Tongbai on Tuesday morning.Zhangye Siyuan will open the bid next Thursday. According to the previous plan, Chen Mo will just meet up with Cong Longfei and Liu Yiyi in Zhangye on Tuesday night.

The final round of inspections for bids was over, and Chen Mo could have flown back to BJ on Saturday for the weekend.But he didn't. Since he came to Ningxia and the former Xixia Kingdom, why not take this opportunity to lead the way here. He plans to spend this Saturday and Sunday in Ningxia.

He first took a bus from the passenger station in Tongxin County to ZW City Passenger Station, and then took a taxi from downtown ZW City to Shapotou, a famous tourist attraction in ZW City and even the whole country.

Shapotou is the hinterland of the Tengger Desert, and there is a vast desert here. The reason why Chen Mo chose to come here is because he has never seen a real desert.

He has seen those people walking alone in the desert countless times in film and television dramas, and felt how lonely and desolate it must be to walk alone in the desert.At that time, he was thinking, one day, I must go for a walk in the desert alone, and let my life experience a desolation.I also want to see the camels walking slowly and listen to the camel bells floating in the wind and sand.

Since coming to TAL, he has seen the majestic mountains of Yunnan, the blue sea of ​​Hainan Island, and the various landscapes of China.But he was the only one who had never seen a real desert.In his memory, when it comes to deserts, he often thinks of XJ, and thinks that XJ is the origin of deserts, but this time he knows that Ningxia is also the hometown of deserts.

So he seized this opportunity to see the desert that he had never seen before, and to feel the magnificence of the desert with solitary smoke and the long river with the sun setting.

The taxi took Chen Mo to Shapotou Scenic Area at [-]:[-] p.m. on Saturday.

On the bare ground, not a single green plant can be seen, and there is a whistling cold wind in my ears. The cold wind is like a ghost in winter, getting in from Chen Mo's ankle, and then the cold air is forced into his body. Everywhere, he finally understood why the word "piercing" is often used to describe the cold wind. The northwest wind is simply dry, cold and cloudy.

Since it was the off-season for tourism, when Chen Mo arrived in Shapotou, the scenic spot was already closed.He had to find a place to stay for the night first, and then return here tomorrow to see the desert.Chen Mo dragged his heavy steps, braved the cold winter wind, and walked to a nearby village. During the peak tourist season, the village was bustling, but now it is deserted, and many hotels have already closed down.

He saw a cheap hotel on Ctrip. It only cost 89 yuan a night, so he followed the navigation and went to the hotel. The hotel was opened by an old couple in the village. The two were eating dinner by the stove. Chen Mo left He went in: "Hi, I'm staying for one night."

The two old people were a little surprised: "We are not open in winter."

"I saw it on the Internet, you can still book a room." Chen Mo handed over the phone.

The two old people looked at it: "Oh, it should be that the online booking store forgot to close. It's so late and you have nowhere to go, so just stay in the guest room for the night. But there is no heating or water in the guest room. Bring you some quilts, and I'll bring you a bucket of water later." The old uncle said.

Looking at Chen Mo's shivering body and flushed face, the old lady hurriedly said, "Young man, have you eaten yet? We are eating noodles. If you don't mind, let's have a bowl together."

"Okay, don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it would be great to have a mouthful of hot noodles, thank you, thank you uncle and auntie." Chen Mo said and sat down, the old man gave Chen Mo a bowl of handmade noodles, and Chen Mo pawed , and looked at the scallions on the table, grabbed them and ate them. The pungentness of the scallions hit his forehead in an instant, driving away the cold air in his body, and he suddenly felt much warmer.

After dinner, Chen Mo took out a hundred yuan: "Uncle and aunt, I will give you a total of one hundred yuan for the room and meal expenses."

"Only charge the room fee, not the meal fee." The old lady quickly evaded.

Chen Mo insisted on keeping all the one hundred yuan. The uncle gave the aunt a wink, and the old lady no longer shied away. The uncle said: "I will take you to the room."

Chen Mo followed the uncle to the room, and the uncle turned on the light: "The sheets and quilts here are all new, but there is no heating. Turn on the air conditioner, it will be warmer. After a while, I will bring you a bucket of water, and you can flush the toilet." , I will brush my teeth and wash my face tomorrow, there are a few quilts over there, you can use whatever you want." He said, pointing to a stack of quilts on another bed.

"Okay, that's pretty good, thank you, thank you." Chen Mo quickly thanked.

After a while, the old man came in with a bucket of tap water, and handed 11 yuan in change to Chen Mo: "Only the room fee, not the meal fee."

Chen Mo didn't shirk it either. After the old man left, he also walked out of the yard, bought two packs of cigarettes, a few ham sausages and two bags of instant noodles at the small store in the village, went back to the yard, and bought a pack of cigarettes and two packs of instant noodles. The ham sausage was stuffed into the uncle's hand, and he returned to his room with the remaining cigarettes and ham sausage instant noodles.

Chen Mo was shivering with cold at night. In the northwest winter night, the cold wind was blowing, like a group of devils shouting outside the window. Chen Mo was not afraid of the cold wind outside, but the temperature in the room was too low. He wore three layers of quilts, but the air in the room was cold, and his nose was always cold. In order to see this desert, he actually came to this place to suffer this crime.But he was very happy in his heart, no matter how bad or crude the external conditions were, he could bear it, and even enjoy it.

In the evening, he made a phone call with Wang Shuang and talked for more than two hours before he fell asleep in a small village in the vast desert.

The next morning, Chen Mo left the house, bid farewell to the old man in the hotel, and went to Shapotou again. He bought a ticket and entered the scenic spot. He began to see the Yellow River crossing the desert, and he began to see huge sand dunes. To the vast desert, began to see camels, began to enter the hinterland of the Tengger Desert.

He walked alone in the vast desert, his fantasies, dreams, and longings, accompanied by grains of fine sand, soaked into his shoes, those withered basil plants in the desert, blown by the wind and sand swaying, as if to say to him: Hey, Chen Mo, people have to dare to think, as long as they dare to think, they can realize what they want.Look at you, the wish to come to the desert many years ago has finally come true now, everything is God's will, everything is the best arrangement.

Looking at the endless desert, Chen Mo stepped on the desert one by one, turned over the dunes, and crossed the sandy slopes. Suddenly, he felt the urge to cry, and two lines of tears fell down. Be nice to him.
