Chapter 2298: Strolling the Pedestrian Street

The pedestrians strolling on the pedestrian street all had smiles on their faces. Now, their lives were truly making them laugh from the bottom of their hearts.

Last year, the per capita income of Chongjin County had risen by at least 20%, which was a huge achievement, and Chongjin County's various urban construction and infrastructure were also much better than before.

At the end of last year, the highway from Chongjin County to Hongzhou City was fully completed and opened to traffic. Now, it only took a little over two hours to get to Hongzhou City.

The ring road of Chongjin County had also been built, and the roads in the new district were very wide, making it increasingly convenient for the common people to travel.

The new district was being built more and more beautifully, and various commercial and leisure entertainment facilities were being perfected. The county drama troupe performed publicly again after many years, the library was re-decorated and purchased a large number of new books, and the cinema began to show movies again. The shopping, entertainment, and other needs of the common people were increasingly being met.

Restaurants in the new district were also opening one after another. Now, the common people of Chongjin County could eat various flavors from all over the country without leaving the county.

Several hospitals in Chongjin County had also increased their investment. Now, the medical needs of the common people could basically be met. In the past, some diseases could not even be diagnosed in Chongjin County and had to go to Hongzhou City, but now, the County People's Hospital had purchased a lot of new medical equipment, and basically most diseases could be diagnosed and treated here.

These various achievements were completed in just over a year, and Chongjin County could truly be said to be changing with each passing day.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of these people on the pedestrian street, Lu Xiaoya looked at her husband with a smile. She was truly proud of her husband. Her husband's achievements in Chongjin County over the past year or so could simply be called a miracle!

Su Xinghui held Lu Xiaoya's hand and strolled around the pedestrian street well. They looked like an ordinary young couple. There were many such young couples on the pedestrian street, all of whom were here to shop. This pedestrian street was now truly worth a stroll.

After strolling for a while, Su Xinghui's hands were already full of large and small bags. These were Lu Xiaoya's gains from shopping. Among these items were Lu Xiaoya's clothes, Su Xinghui's own clothes, and, of course, the most were the child's clothes. The pedestrian street had opened several high-end infant and toddler supplies stores, and Lu Xiaoya was, of course, willing to spend money on her son, buying only the best.

Compared to a year ago, the changes in Chongjin County were truly too great. A year ago, these infant and toddler supplies could not be bought anywhere, and every time, Su Xinghui brought them back when he went to Jiangcheng or Hongzhou, or Yu Ruoqiu helped bring them from the capital.

Now, there was no need to do that; they could be bought directly in Chongjin County.

From these bits and pieces, one could truly feel the huge changes in Chongjin County. In short, it was two words: convenient.

Now in Chongjin County, travel was convenient, medical treatment was convenient, shopping was convenient, and everything was convenient. Only in this way could the common people have a real sense of happiness.

Lu Xiaoya was a little tired. The two had been shopping for nearly two hours. Su Xinghui sat down with her on a wooden chair beside the pedestrian street. The things they bought were placed on the ground, and the ground of the pedestrian street was very clean.

The county government had specially arranged several cleaners on the pedestrian street. As soon as there was dirt on the ground, it was immediately cleaned and washed to keep the place clean. And the quality of the pedestrians coming here was also getting higher and higher. If they had trash that needed to be thrown away, they would rather walk a few more steps to throw it into the trash can than throw it on the ground.

On the pedestrian street, there was a trash can every dozen meters, and these trash cans were not ordinary ones; they were made into the shapes of various animals, looking like sculptures. These trash cans were not only practical but also became a unique scenery of the pedestrian street.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya sat on a bench two or three hundred meters from the street entrance. A few meters to their left was a small sculpture. This sculpture was an image of a beautiful young girl sitting on the grass reading a book. These sculptures also added a lot of embellishment to the pedestrian street, making it more culturally rich.

The two sat on the bench, with the warm winter sun shining on them, making them feel very comfortable.

Lu Xiaoya said: "Sitting here for a while is really comfortable. Shall we bring Niuniu here to play tomorrow?"

Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Alright, we should bring him out more often and let him get more sun."

Lu Xiaoya said: "Living in Chongjin County now is really comfortable."

Su Xinghui said: "As long as it's comfortable."

Lu Xiaoya said: "I'm hungry, let's go eat something."

When Lu Xiaoya said this, Su Xinghui also felt a bit hungry. The dishes at noon were mainly seafood, which Su Xinghui didn't particularly like to eat, and in that kind of occasion, it wasn't appropriate for him to wolf down his food, looking like he was very greedy.

He hadn't eaten his fill at noon, and now that the two had been shopping for so long, they were naturally hungry.

So, Su Xinghui nodded and said: "Alright, let's go eat something."

Su Xinghui picked up the large and small bags and walked forward with Lu Xiaoya. After walking for dozens of meters, Lu Xiaoya saw a snack shop and walked in first.

Su Xinghui also entered the snack shop and put the large and small bags on a chair. Lu Xiaoya had already started ordering food.

The person taking the order for Lu Xiaoya was a young woman in her thirties. Lu Xiaoya ordered two bowls of fish noodles, and the young woman went to the back kitchen.

Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya only waited for a few minutes before the two bowls of fish noodles were brought up. When these two bowls of fish noodles were brought up, Su Xinghui and Lu Xiaoya were both stunned.

The portion of these two bowls of noodles was too large. Two large bowls of noodles were piled high with toppings and sprinkled with chopped green onions, looking very tempting.

Su Xinghui looked around. There were quite a few diners in the shop, mostly pedestrians who were tired from shopping on the pedestrian street. The business here was really good, but for two other customers eating fish noodles, the portion in their bowls was far less than theirs.

Su Xinghui asked the young woman: "Landlady, isn't there something wrong with this? How can fish noodles have such a large portion?"

Lu Xiaoya also looked at the young woman with some doubt. The young woman smiled and said: "County Magistrate Su, this was specially made for you two by my mother-in-law."

Su Xinghui was even more confused: "Your mother-in-law?"

At this time, an old lady walked out of the back kitchen. Su Xinghui took a look and found that it was indeed an acquaintance. She was the old lady whom Su Xinghui often went to eat at when he first arrived in Chongjin County. ===== CHAPTER 2300 =====
