After walking all the way home, Zhang Haidong entered his bedroom.
Just as he was about to take off his clothes and rest, Liu Cai'e walked in.
"came back."
"Um.
What's wrong, Mom?"
Zhang Haidong quickly raised his head and asked.
"Who did you go out to find just now?
Du Jing?"
Liu Cai'e asked softly.
Mom has X-ray eyes!
Do you all know this?
"I actually want to go out on my own..."
"Stop talking.
Du Jing is a good girl. You have become famous in the whole town this time, and she will not dislike you.
If you ever do something like this in the future, your mother, I will break your legs, do you hear me?"
Liu Cai'e said, picking up a stick by the door.
"I know, and I will never make the same mistake again!"
Zhang Haidong responded quickly.
Zhang Haidong has already experienced how violent his parents are.
"As long as your kid said this.
I have discussed it with your father, and this kind of thing has already happened anyway. If you stay here, the neighbors will gossip about you.
It’s better to let you go out and have a good time wandering in the big world.”
Liu Cai'e said solemnly.
"real!"
Zhang Haidong became happy.
"Mom! I love you so much! When I have money in the future, I will give you and my dad one hundred and eighty thousand! That's all trivial!
Your son must be the kind of person who can become a dragon or a phoenix!"
Zhang Haidong jumped up happily and said.
"Stop bragging with me here! Be careful I hit you!"
Seeing her son's arrogance, Liu Cai'e decided to take action again.
"I'm telling you, no matter when and where you go, you must ensure your personal safety after you go out, do you understand?
Even if you provoke someone, just run away if you can't beat him, you know?"
Liu Cai'e continued.
Poor parents in the world, this mother really has nothing to say to herself!
"Okay, I get it, Mom!"
Zhang Haidong said softly.
Unknowingly, when someone treats you well, it increases your sense of closeness.
Not so unfamiliar anymore.
"Your dad and I don't have much money. This is the savings saved by our family. It's 900 yuan in total. Please take it.
You can only buy train tickets yourself. Your father and I don't have time, we are busy working for others and farming.
Do you understand?"
Liu Cai'e gently handed a bag of money to Zhang Haidong's hand.
I don’t know how long my parents had saved the money before they gave it to me!
Zhang Haidong’s eyes became moist again!
Since you can’t go back after traveling to this world, then these parents will be your biological parents from now on!
He swore heavily in his heart!
"Okay! Get some rest early! Your dad and I just want you to be safe.
If you want to go out, go out!"
Liu Cai'e said, turned around and walked out the door.
Her thin figure even looked a little rickety under the light.
…
After a sleepless night, Zhang Haidong got up early.
He took a quick shower and then took the bus all the way to the county town.
He had already chosen his destination: the East China Sea.
The East China Sea is the Pearl of the Orient. It is already very prosperous. Only there can you realize your life ideals.
“How much is the train ticket to Donghai?”
he asked while standing at the ticket window.
It's still 1996, and there are long queues for manual ticket sales.
“428, hard seat.
If it’s a sleeper, it’s 735.”
The conductor replied mechanically.
"Have a hard seat."
Zhang Haidong handed the money to the conductor in pain.
With the tickets for the next day, I will leave soon.
When I got home, my parents had already laid out a table of dishes and were waiting for me early.
"I killed the big rooster at home to send you on a long journey.
Your father has been waiting for you for a long time."
Liu Cai'e said.
Zhang Haidong sat down.
Zhang Youfu still looked disgusted.
"After you go out, it's okay to be a little timid.
People outside are so cruel, you never know who you will meet.
Let others take care of everything and everything will be fine, you know?"
Seeing Zhang Haidong sit down, Zhang Youfu said with a straight face.
This is all for your own good.
In this chaotic era, parents are always reluctant to let their children go out.
"I know, I will listen to you, dad."
Zhang Haidong said seriously.
He knew that even though he had traveled through time, his parents' love for him had not diminished at all.
This kind of family relationship will never be severed again for the rest of my life.
"alright.
Have a drink with your dad.
Your dad sometimes has a stubborn temper, but he really does it for your own good, you know?"
As Liu Cai'e spoke, she took out the home-brewed corn wine and gently filled it up for the two of them.
The two of them finished it off in one go.
No matter how full the wine is...
Zhang Youfu got very drunk and then returned to his room.
When they got on the train to leave the next day, Zhang Youfu and Liu Cai'e sent Zhang Haidong to the train station.
"No matter what, you must pay attention to safety, you know?
Don’t worry about things at home, just call home for safety when you have time, you know?”
Liu Cai'e looked at Zhang Haidong and asked seriously.
"I know, Mom."
Zhang Haidong traveled lightly, bringing nothing but money.
"You stand here and don't move. I'll buy you oranges."
Zhang Youfu said.
Not long after, oranges were bought.
"Get in the car and just remember the instructions!"
The couple watched Zhang Haidong get into the car, then hugged each other and cried loudly.
Looking at his crying parents, Zhang Haidong sat on the train and swore that he must become a master!
…
After three days and two nights, when Zhang Haidong looked out the window again with red eyes, the train finally entered the East China Sea!
Damn it!
finally reached!
Rubbing his red eyes, he finally stretched.
After getting off the train, Zhang Haidong looked at the bustling East China Sea.
My hometown is still a brick house with brick tiles, but here there are already many high-rise buildings and a modern city scene.
A big city like this has room for development!
This is the best of times!
This is a golden age everywhere!
Zhang Haidong looked excited, as if he saw gold all over the ground, and squeezed towards the front among the bustling crowd.
He believes that since he has the memory of his previous life, he will definitely become a giant in this era!
The current plan is to find a hotel to stay in and then think of a solution!
"Catch the thief!"
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.
Following the sound, I saw a girl in white clothes who looked to be around 20 years old was chasing a bald man.
The wallet must have been stolen.
It's none of your business and none of my business.
Zhang Haidong gave way and hid aside in a mood of eating melon.
The bald man rushed forward fiercely and bumped into Zhang Haidong when he came over.
Zhang Haidong suddenly lost his balance, tilted his body, and then stretched out one foot.
It seems to be God's arrangement that the girl arrived just at this time!
thump!
A girl directly threw a dog and fell to the ground in a big letter shape.
"oh!"
The people around him suddenly exclaimed and dispersed one after another.
After Zhang Haidong stood firm, he saw that he had caused the trouble, so he had to tiptoe up and asked softly: "Um... are you okay... I was also hit and couldn't stand still... It wasn't intentional..."
The girl didn't move.
Did he fall unconscious?
Thinking about the girl rushing in a hurry just now, it is very possible!
Zhang Haidong was so frightened that he quickly reached out his hand to see if the girl was okay.
At this time, the girl seemed to have reacted, and finally got up with her face covered in dirt.
Only then did Zhang Haidong see the girl clearly.
This girl's skin is white, tender and smooth. Even if her face is stained with dirt, it can't hide her pretty face.
Willow eyebrows, apricot eyes, a little cherry mouth...
It’s really the standard configuration of heaven!
While Zhang Haidong was still immersed in his appearance, the girl's eyes were about to spit out anger!
"What do you think?
Do you think I'm okay?"
Her tone was sarcastic, and she wanted to knock Zhang Haidong down with one punch.
"I did not do it on purpose……"
Zhang Haidong could only apologize quietly.
Then he was ready to help the girl up.
"Don't touch me!"
The girl gritted her teeth and climbed up, her white clothes already covered in dirt.
"Why are you tripping me?
Are you working with that thief?
Believe it or not, I will take you to the police station right now!"
The girl didn't care about the dirt on her body and grabbed Zhang Haidong.
"Conscience of heaven and earth, sister! I am definitely not that kind of person!
I just came to Donghai, and I was hit by that thief just now, so I couldn't stand still, that's why I'm like this.
I’m not familiar with the place here!”
Zhang Haidong quickly explained.
There were already many people around, looking at me and the girl jokingly.
Fortunately, it's 1996 and everyone doesn't have mobile phones yet.
If this were to happen in 2021, if I were caught by a girl on the street and posted on Douyin, I would probably die on the spot!
"I really didn't mean it..."
Zhang Haidong explained again.
"I do believe you."
The girl let go of her hand.
"But have you ever figured out who else this thief stole?
Where is your most basic passion and sense of justice?
Is it just because it looks good?”
The girl in white clothes said.
Seeing what she said, Zhang Haidong suddenly had a bad feeling.
He quickly stretched out his hand and took a look!
Good guy, the money is gone!
All the money Du Jing and her parents gave her was stolen!
Oh My God!
"Catch the thief!"
Zhang Haidong shouted quickly.
"You've disappeared a long time ago! I'm really unlucky when I meet you! I didn't expect there are people like you! You deserve it! I won't care about you anymore, just get out of here!"
Looking at Zhang Haidong with a sad look on his face, the girl shook her head, turned and walked away.
But……
What to do with my money!
Zhang Haidong wanted to cry but had no tears for a moment!
Fortunately, I packed the money separately, otherwise I wouldn’t even have a penny!
I touched my pocket and found only 35 yuan left!
Go back to before liberation!
This is too sad!
A room costs at least 20 yuan a night. When I first came here, I had to find a job first.
If you don’t have a job, you will be living on the streets tomorrow night!
Thinking of this, Zhang Haidong could only grit his teeth and walk forward.
He has to find a factory or something first and take care of food and housing first!
