“Why do I feel like all my students have become your nieces?” Teacher Song muttered as he entered the room with his aunt.

As soon as Tang Xin and I entered the room, we saw her throw herself onto the bed and roll around on it, but she didn’t forget her slippers, otherwise the white sheets would definitely be dirty.

“Are you tired?” I put my luggage away and gave her a bottle of water.

“Not bad.” She half sat up, took the water, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it in big gulps.

“I was thirsty on the way but I didn’t know to drink more water.”

“I don’t feel anything when I’m in the car.” Tang Xin returned the mineral water to me, half of it was gone, “Would you like to drink some too?”

I took the mineral water and started drinking it directly. After a few sips, it was already finished.

“Hey! Why is Xiaomeng drinking my water?”

“There’s still one bottle left to drink tonight!” I said righteously. Of course I wouldn’t tell her that I just wanted to kiss her indirectly.

“Okay~” Tang Xin said helplessly.

At this moment, I was feeling smug about my plan having worked, but I didn’t notice the slightly upturned angle of Tang Xin’s mouth.

“Is this Xiaomeng’s first time in Shanghai?” Tang Xin asked me.

“Yes, but not entirely.” I worked for two years in my previous life, and this is the first time in this life.

“Your contradictory answer is really interesting.” Tang Xin chuckled, “I lived in this city for a few years, but when I was very young, I have no memory of it at all.”

“Really? You never told me about this.”

“Isn’t there no chance to tell you? When I was a child, my father did business here, and he met and fell in love with my mother here, got married and gave birth to me.” Tang Xin sat up and walked to the window.

“So Tang Xin is from Shanghai?” I was a little surprised.

“Probably, but this city is a little unfamiliar to me. I only remember fragments of memories from the kindergarten and the dim light in the old house. Nothing else is left.” Tang Xin frowned.

“Well…we have time in the afternoon anyway, why don’t we go look for your hometown?” I had a sudden idea, mainly because I wanted to see where Tang Xin lived when she was a child.

“Eh, eh, eh?” Tang Xin opened her cute little mouth, a little excited, “Is it really possible?”

“why not?”

Boom boom boom!

“Little girls, it’s time to eat!”

“Coming!”

……

After lunch, my aunt had to go to the exhibition hall, and Teacher Song also went to help. The kind aunt did not let us go to help, and gave us a free afternoon, which also provided Tang Xin and I with an opportunity to find her hometown.

“But I have no impression of it.”

Tang Xin and I stood at the entrance of the hotel, looking at the busy road. Tang Xin felt a little confused.

“Why don’t you give Auntie a call and ask?”

“okay.”

Tang Xin took out her cell phone and called her mother.

“Hello… Mom, where did I live in Shanghai when I was a kid? … Um… maybe it’s been demolished? … I want to go take a look… Um, is it the xxx community in Zhabei District? Okay, I get it, I’ll go take a look!”

Tang Xin hung up the phone and said to me, “Mom said it might have been demolished, and she couldn’t remember where it was because everything had changed. She asked us to be careful on the way there.”

“Zhabei, it’s not far. Shall we take the bus there?”

“Let’s take a taxi. The buses are too crowded.” Tang Xin shook her head as she watched the buses passing by.

“Xiaomeng is in Shanghai for the first time, how come you know Zhabei is not far from here?” Tang Xin suddenly asked as if she thought of something wrong.

“Ha…are you all so sensitive?”

“what?”

“Nothing. I studied the map before coming here. I was also thinking about whether there were any fun places to check in or something.”

“Oh, that’s very thoughtful. So I’ll have to ask you to lead the way this time?”

“I will handle it.”

The data has not been restored yet! I am exhausted!

Good luck on the college entrance examination. I hope all my friends who read my book can get into their ideal university! !

Chapter 95 Tang Xin’s Home

It’s called searching, but in fact I just told the taxi driver the place name and asked him to take me there. It’s not much for me to do.

Tang Xin sat in the taxi and looked out the window, seeming to be worried about something.

“Are you feeling more timid when you’re close to home?” I covered my mouth and smiled secretly.

“What? I just think it’s a little weird.”

“Wonderful? Why do you use that word?”

“If my father hadn’t wanted to go home to visit my grandfather temporarily, he wouldn’t have discovered the new business opportunity. And our family might have lived here forever.”

“Isn’t this normal?”

“I think this must be the guidance of fate. That’s why I met such a good person like you.”

I was smiling a moment ago, but I was suddenly stunned after hearing this. Oh my god, Tang Xin is so good at flirting! The temperature on my face quickly rose, and my mind was instantly in a mess: “What…what~ Tang Xin is also very good…isn’t it normal to move?”

I was incoherent and didn’t know what I was saying. No way, could this girl really like me too?

“I don’t mean anything else, I just think it’s nice to know someone who understands me.” Tang Xin seemed to feel that what she said might have caused some misunderstanding, her face slightly flushed, and she avoided his gaze.

Just when we were feeling a little awkward with each other, the taxi arrived at the community Tang Xin had designated. We paid and got off the car in a hurry.

“Do you remember the road?” I looked around and saw that everything was old and dilapidated. Even the road was small, and there were some very old factories around.

“I remember this was a village before.” Tang Xin looked around and sighed, “It seems that the changes are not that big from my impression.”

“It should be this way!” Tang Xin took my hand and ran into a nearby community.

It has to be said that the land in Shanghai is very expensive. The distance between buildings is very narrow, and there is almost no green space in the community, all of which is given to the construction of private parking spaces. But even so, each parking space is only more than five meters long, and crowding has become the synonym of this place.

“There used to be flower beds here.” Tang Xin pointed to the roadside, “and the road was much bigger than it is now.”

After walking through an area of ​​several buildings, Tang Xin stopped in front of a building.

“Is this here?”

“Well, it should be here!” Tang Xin was a little excited.

“Which floor?”

Tang Xin pointed to the resident on the left side of the fourth floor and said, “4th floor, 403! I remember when I was a kid, I often lay on the balcony and looked outside!”

“Is it the one with the silver anti-theft windows?” I looked in the direction she was looking.

“Well, it should have been renovated. When I was a child, my house had an iron semi-enclosed fence. I wanted to sit on it and watch, but my mother never let me.” Tang Xin smiled foolishly.

“You are really brave! But you still remember it clearly. Should we knock on the door and go in to take a look?” I suggested.

“No.” Tang Xin shook her head. “It’s not nice to disturb them. Besides, they might be at work at this time.”

“That’s right.”

“When I was young, I thought the community was so big, but now everything seems so small. Look at the rockery over there. I used to climb it so high when I was young, but now it seems to be only as high as a person.”

“That’s because you’ve grown up!”

“Hahaha, yes! Grow up, it’s good to grow up! I want to grow up quickly! Then I can live on my own!” Tang Xin suddenly laughed, “Xiao Meng, do you want to grow up?”

“Me? I don’t want to.” I shook my head.

“Why?” Tang Xin was a little puzzled, “Isn’t it good?”

“Well, being a child is so good. You don’t have to worry about anything every day. The biggest pressure is just studying. You don’t have to worry about food or clothes. If you feel wronged, you can complain to the teacher. When you grow up, you have nothing.”

“Really? Xiao Meng thinks a lot.”

“It’s not that I think too much, it’s…ah, I see too much.”

“I don’t understand. It’s still early. I’ll take you somewhere!” Tang Xin suddenly seemed to have thought of some explanations. She grabbed my hand and ran out of the community.

After running past two intersections and a block, I saw an undeveloped green space. Although it was just a small patch of low trees and bushes mixed in with factories and residential areas, it was astonishing that there was such a place in the city of Shanghai. What was even more amazing was that a seemingly abandoned railway crossed the area. It would be better to say that there was original vegetation around the old railway rather than a railway in the green space.

“Wow, there is such a place?!” I was really surprised.

–

There is a girl who wants me to go out for a date. I am afraid… I won’t go.

“There were very few trains running on this railway in the past. When I was a kid, I loved playing hide-and-seek with my friends here. It’s amazing that the railway has not been abandoned yet.”

Tang Xin and I walked along the railway for about a hundred meters and came across a small river. The railway was crossed by a sturdy reinforced concrete bridge.

“In the past, the water in this river was very clear. There were fish, shrimps and crabs in the water.”

Tang Xin pointed to the green river water covered with green algae and said, it’s a pity that the river has now turned into a pool of stagnant water. Apart from the plants and algae growing wildly, there are not many animals in it.

“It’s a bit sad.” Tang Xin sighed, “There weren’t so many buildings around at that time.”

“Don’t be sad. This is the inevitable path for urban development,” I comforted her.

After walking for a while, we came to the busy main road again. Looking at the double three-lane road in front of us and the railway track behind us, it was like a paradise, as if it should not be here. It was out of tune with all this and this city.

Ding ding ding! The warning lights on the railway suddenly lit up, the traffic lights on the road turned red, and the electric barriers on both sides fell down. Tang Xin and I looked at each other, and we were both surprised that a train was coming at this time.

“Want to see the train?” Tang Xin asked me.

“Yeah, I want to see it.”

As the rumbling sound got closer, a long green coal train passed by. The train was not going very fast, but the noise was really loud. No wonder the area around the railway was full of green plants, probably for sound insulation and noise absorption.

“Xiao Meng!”

“Ok?”

“I xxxx”
