When Qin Xue moved to the city with Su'E, she realized the city was not as prosperous as she had imagined. She knew that it would take several decades of development and evolution for the city to reach that level of prosperity.
However, Qin Xue thought if she could buy a house or two here now, they would surely worth a lot of money in the future; that's why she decided to buy a house in the city for her parents.
"Su'E, the city is truly better than where I lived back in S Province."
Qin Xue caught the contempt in Su'E's face, so she decided to go along with her.
"I heard the military bases are in the mountains, is that true?"
Su'E asked after hearing what Qin Xue had said.
"Well, not necessarily on the mountains, but at the foot of the mountains. It is quite isolated, and it takes two or three hours by bus to reach the city."
"If you walk, you can only guess how long it will take. That's why I've never gone to the city."
