Although Pingshan is not famous enough, it is also a scenic spot in Jinling.

Jinling has a tiger perched on a dragon's plate and has many famous mountains.

Zhongshan, Purple Mountain, Qixia Mountain, but unfortunately they did not go to these famous mountains, and went to Pingshan.

Pingshan is in Jiangbei and north of Liuhe.

From Jiangnan to Jiangbei, you have to cross a bridge to cross the river.

The Jinling Yangtze River Bridge is a landmark building in Jinling. Of course, even if it is a landmark, there is a toll for crossing the bridge.

It is impossible not to charge money just because he is handsome. Even the little piano prince spent money, but he was exposed somehow.

It will probably be after 2005 that bridge tolls are no longer required to cross the river.

Jinling Hotel is the most high-end hotel in Jinling in this era. It is hard to say anything else. There are indeed many rare delicacies.

Shen Guanglin had money, US dollars, and could speak English, which gave him a great advantage.

He said the day before that he wanted to eat saury, and he wanted to eat the freshest saury from the Yangtze River.

With foreign exchange in hand, the customer's requirements will definitely be met.

Yangtze saury was very rare in later generations, but it is still common in this era.

The 1980s were a good time, you had money, you could eat all kinds of food, and it wasn't illegal.

After carefully tasting the saury, Shen Guanglin and Li Rong set off with great expectations.

Fortunately, most of the trip is in the city, and even in the suburbs, the roads are still smooth.

In this day and age, everything else is fine, but the biggest inconvenience is roads and traffic.

So the saying is correct, if you want to be rich, build roads first.

Wherever you want to go, the biggest obstacle is the lack of roads. How long has it been since every village was connected to a road?

In this day and age, even national highways are not easy to travel.

"The road is not easy to walk" also has two meanings. On the surface, it means that the road condition is poor and the road is not easy to walk.

There is another meaning: young people who have time and money to go out will have a hard time.

As we walked, people disappeared.

However, this is Jinling after all, not a barbaric mountainous area.

Having a car is convenient. Even if it is just a Santana, it has air conditioning, heating, and a radio.

When you are tired from driving, you can still push the car in the car.

The scenery along the way is not enough to see, and it didn’t take long to reach the flat mountains.

Well, this place has mountains, water and sun.

The sun shines brightly, and the blue water ripples with sparkling light.

When I came here, I saw it through the sign on the roadside. It is still a state-owned forest farm and has not yet been developed into a tourist attraction.

In later generations, this place seemed to have been renamed Pingshan National Forest Park.

But it's not possible now. There is a reservoir nearby, and most of the area is bare. That means there are still a few trees left for some forestry workers to survive.

It is said to be a forest farm, but in fact the forest resources are almost exhausted. There are not many mature trees on the mountain, almost all of them are stone wastelands and some low shrubs.

Those tall trees have long been cut down.

From here we can also see that the efficiency of forest farms is indeed not very good.

When people travel in the 21st century, they often lament the lack of big trees.

However, in this era, when people go out, they often see no trees, even medium-sized trees.

Many mountains are covered with saplings that are more than ten years old.

In fact, in the entire South China, not counting the deep mountains and old forests, there are not many towering trees in most areas.

Whether in southern Hunan, northern Hunan or Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is said that these places have abundant rainfall and many hills, but there are no big trees.

There may be a few hundred-year-old trees remaining in ancient villages, but you will never see them on those barren hills.

It is said that this is a political achievement left over from the period of large-scale steel smelting. All the big trees were cut down, and the people's ability to clean things up is extremely strong.

It is said that in later generations it was very difficult to climb barren hills to erect telegraph poles. In the past, people cut down all the trees on barren mountains, which was also very difficult and painful.

Steel is made by local methods, and the more it is made, the more it becomes wasteful.

"Brother, the scenery here you chose is really good." Li Rong said teasingly to Shen Guanglin.

Shen Guanglin could only smile awkwardly. "I didn't know it would be like this."

Looking around, you can see a few spots besides the reservoir, but they are actually just barren mountains.

If there are no trees in the forest farm, it is not considered a barren mountain. This is absurd.

Fortunately, Shen Guanglin came here not to see the scenery, but to see the people.

Shen Guanglin vaguely remembered that his original mother was probably the daughter of a forestry worker. Her family was not wealthy since she was a child. The reason why she married Lao Shen was partly to rob the rich and help the poor.

Her mother's surname is Xu, and she is from Pingshan, Liuhe. She has been a famous beauty from all over the country since she was a child.

However, what the old Xu family did not expect was that this daughter turned out to be a "white-eyed wolf". Although her husband's family was rich, she also had the financial power of the Shen family, but she treated her parents' family with courtesy and bottom line.

This incident can really be described as losing both the wife and the army, because the Xu family did not take any advantage at all.

The old Shen family has a lot of houses in Jinling, but one of Shen Guanglin's uncles got married and wanted to borrow it, but the old Shen didn't say anything and was directly rejected by my mother.

Not possible!

If you come in, you won't be able to move out.

There is really no place to live. I will pay you half a year's rent and you can rent a house yourself. If you pay more, it will be gone.

It is precisely because of this that the relationship between their family and several uncles' families is not very close. Although they are all in Jinling, they are located in one south and one in the north, and they have very little contact with each other.

Only during the holidays would Shen Guanglin visit his grandparents.

My grandfather, Lao Xu, was originally from Hui Province, and later moved to Liuhe. My grandmother was from somewhere, and she was extremely dignified. Old ladies of that era could speak foreign languages.

Lao Xu made a fortune, and she gave birth to three sons and one daughter, all of whom were fair and beautiful, and perfectly inherited the old lady's advantages.

Around the turn of the century, Shen Guanglin found out that his grandmother had once been a noble lady in Shaoxing, and her ex-husband was a pilot. It was the war that made him homeless, which was how he benefited Lao Xu.

The place Lao Xu chose was not good. Liuhe was too poor. He should have been more courageous and went directly to the city.

With the development of the times, the ancestral home and villages of the old Shen family in the south have developed into the core area of ​​Jinling, while the development of Liuhe Pingshan in the north is still far away.

Even in the 21st century, there are still large areas of farmland here.

Several of Shen Guanglin's uncles were skinned and not very talented, but his mother was an exception. She was a very independent woman. Although she was good-looking, she was fierce and tough. Shen's father and son were treated obediently.

Shen Guanglin smiled unconsciously when he thought of this. According to her age, she must be twelve or thirteen years old now. I really don't know how to get along with her when we meet.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After asking around the entire forest farm, I didn't find any family with the surname Xu, and it had to be a family of three sons and one daughter.

I have also seen all around Pingshan. Chiang Kai-shek, Hu Ying, Ma Ying, Yang Ying, Wang Ying and Zhang Ying are all the names of the places where the former garrison was located.

However, although there are families with the surname Xu in these village groups, there are still no people who fit the characteristics Shen Guanglin had in mind.

She comes from out of town, the mother-in-law is very good-looking, and she has three sons and a daughter at home.

It is said that the characteristics are distinct enough.

Just being good-looking can exclude most people.

Shen Guanglin's grandmother is still a beautiful old lady even though she is over sixty years old.

However, where has my mother gone?

Time and dreams turn into butterflies.

Shen Guanglin is in bad shape. Has he affected the times?

The pilot took grandma away? There is no advantage for Lao Xu?

After thinking about it, Shen Guanglin didn't even bother to have lunch. He was lost in thought and looked ugly.

What can Li Rong do? She can only drive Teacher Shen, who is like a walking zombie, back to the hotel to rest for a while.

Along the way, I didn't dare to say anything, and I didn't dare to ask.

The saury in the evening was no longer sweet.

You can't just let it go.

The next day, Shen Guanglin cheered up again, wrote a letter of introduction for searching for relatives, and went to the civil affairs unit to check.

There shouldn't be many people from Chuzhou with the surname Xu.

Li Rong was right in front of him, and Shen Guanglin couldn't tell him the names of his uncle and mother, so he could only let them look for them first.

Although Professor Shen is not well-known, he is a professor at Beijing University, so he is a big shot.
