Chapter 4 Dreams
Ancheng is a mountain city in Guizhou. The climate here is pleasant, warm in winter and cool in summer. This is also a good place for many foreign tourists to escape the summer heat and cold.
Perhaps it is due to the climate or time zone, which makes the pace of life in this small southwest town very slow. It is eight o'clock in the morning, and the shops are still tightly closed on this street, which is known as the most prosperous, and the streets seem a bit deserted.
The crowds were in groups of three or three, lazy tourists, playful children, and wanderers who had been huddled in a coal-made corner for a night. They were the earliest crowds of people on this street...
At a remote intersection of this street, there is a snack shop. The store is very old and the seats are in a mess. The shop is full of people. A middle-aged man wearing a white hat and a blue apron is busy. There is also a long crowd in front of him. They are very patient and wait without any rush.
It can be seen that the business here is very good, and people from the whole city seem to be gathering here.
Here are Ancheng's unique breakfast snacks: delicious freshly ground soy milk, crispy fried dough sticks and oily but not greasy fried cakes!
Wu Zhiyuan and Zheng Yong were also among them, and their table was filled with delicious food. Wu Zhiyuan took a sip of soy milk, and then kept watching Zheng Yong swallowing it voraciously, and couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Yuan, why don't you eat? Didn't you like eating here very much before?" He raised his head and asked in confusion when he noticed Wu Zhiyuan looked at him.
"Looking at how delicious you eat, I feel relieved when you are out this time!" Wu Zhiyuan smiled slightly.
Zheng Yong frowned slightly. He didn't understand what this meant, but then he smiled and started to eat.
He didn't have much thought. When he was with Wu Zhiyuan, what Wu Zhiyuan said and what he did. This was his best buddy. He firmly believed that he would not harm him. On the contrary, he kept taking care of him and taking care of him, so he always obeyed Wu Zhiyuan. If he hadn't heard that Wu Zhiyuan was going to come back from Shanghai, he would have left long ago.
Early this morning, he took Wu Zhiyuan to have breakfast with great enthusiasm because he was about to leave this familiar land and go to the unknown distance. He had the confidence in his heart...
Not long after, the food on the table was swept away by Zheng Yong. He grinned and said, "It smells so good. I don't know when I can eat it after I leave."
"Go out and work well, there are so many delicious food!" Wu Zhiyuan handed him a tissue and asked seriously, "What are you going to Zhejiang to do?"
"Brother Yuan, don't you know that you haven't been there for the past two years. I have learned a good craft with a carpenter. I have to rely on this craft to conquer the whole world and get a good wife." Zheng Yong said, a little proud.
"Just this is the best, you can conquer the world if you want a woman! But there is nothing wrong with this, work hard!" He was a little relieved and sighed that his brother, who was once a terrifying person, had grown up.
Zheng Yong was very happy when he heard Wu Zhiyuan's encouragement, and then he showed a worried expression and asked, "Brother Yuan, are you okay?"
"It's okay, what can I do?"
"It's really okay!" He was still worried.
"What can happen? Who am I? Your brother, don't worry, go and try to make a breakthrough, and I will be proud of you!"
"Well! I will definitely work hard!" Then I remembered something, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. This is the woman's mobile phone number. I'll send it to you. If you don't see her, you will decide!"
Zheng Yong picked up his cell phone and sent him a number.
"Yeah, let's go! Time is coming!"
At Ancheng Railway Station, a train slowly came. Zheng Yong picked up his luggage and walked onto the train.
His luggage was very simple, just a few pieces of carry-on clothes. The moment he stepped on the train, the smell of instant noodles came to his face. Zheng Yong raised his eyebrows, then smiled again, turned around and shouted at Wu Zhiyuan: "Brother Yuan, I'm leaving!"
...
Sichuan, Daliang Mountain. An ancient village with dense forests and lush forests. At this time, the sun is rising, the breeze is smooth, the birds are singing in the forest, and even the roses on the side of the mud road show a bright smile.
Two girls walked out of the village. One of them was short hair and cute. She followed a girl. The girl was carrying a basket on her back, and her face was beautiful and charming. They walked towards the winding river with cheerful steps.
After crossing the shaking iron chain bridge, their steps stopped on the river bank not far below the bridge. There were a few large smooth stones here, and the two girls sat safely on it.
Su Xiaoying was very happy. She had a delicious meal of Yi firewood flavored meat last night and had a fragrant dream. Seeing that Chen Xi didn't say anything, she picked up the small stones by the river from time to time and threw them into the river, splashing white water, which attracted her to laugh.
Chen Xi sat on the shore, staring at the rushing river water, and was lost.
She had a strange dream last night, and she lost her way on the vast grassland. Suddenly, a young man appeared beside her on a horse. She couldn't see him clearly, and only saw a scar appearing on his face.
But she didn't seem to be afraid at all. She followed him tightly like a ghost. The man found her and wanted to pull her up. She stretched out her hands, but she couldn't reach him...
She felt a little uneasy. She didn't sleep well last night. Her eyes were still a little red and swollen. When she thought of that dream, she was still a little scared!
"Hey! Sister Chen Xi, what's wrong?" Su Xiaoying asked nervously at Chen Xi, who looked a little pale.
"Oh! It's nothing!" Chen Xi finally came to his senses, "Come on, Xiaoying, help me take out the clothes in my backpack. There are a lot of clothes, thank you for your hard work."
"Okay! It's the first time I'm washing clothes by the river!" Su Xiaoying became cheerful.
The two girls suddenly became busy. They soaked their clothes in water, then snatched them one by one, placed them on a smooth stone, rubbing them with their hands while beating them with wooden sticks.
For a moment, the sound of knocking and the sound of flowing water merged together, intertwining into a cheerful symphony.
Su Xiaoying had already had a few sweat on her eyebrows. She was a little tired and sat on the stone. She muttered, "Sister Chen Xi, have you always been washing clothes like this?"
"Yes! That's the conditions."
"It's convenient for uncles and aunts to buy a washing machine, so it doesn't have to work so hard."
"I thought about it too, but the transportation is inconvenient. Besides, it costs a lot of electricity, and the elderly are not happy! Alas! My parents are old, so every time I go home, the first thing I do is to wash clothes!"
Su Xiaoying couldn't answer the conversation, she felt a little sad, and thought for a while and asked, "Sister Chen Xi, what major are you going to study in college! What is your dream?"
"Prepare to learn politics and law!" Chen Xi said without thinking.
"Why? I thought you wanted to learn music or dance!"
"I want to change this place! It's so remote that I can't listen. Here and outside are like two worlds. You can't see me, I can't see you, I want to do something for my hometown." Chen Xi continued, "If you want to change a person, you must first change your mind, but to change a place, you need to go into politics, ask for the people, build roads, build bridges, and build schools! Only when the transportation is improved and the education level is improved will this place become better and better!"
"You really think far, my little sister admires you!" Su Xiaoying said with a clever smile.
"I am a girl from the mountains. I will tell you this. When others hear it, they will just be a joke!" Chen Xi said mockingly.
"Don't say that, those who have ambition can accomplish their jobs!" Su Xiaoying blinked her big eyes.
"So I must focus on myself this time and try to get a good score in the college entrance examination!" Chen Xi said firmly, looking up at the blue sky, the sun climbed up to the top of my head without realizing it.
She murmured to herself: "My dream is in the distance!"
