Late at night, Huaqing Ximen, Ximen grilled wings.
Director Qin, Lao Wang next door, Boss Niu, Zhao Dou, plus Zhao Song.
A few people clinked their wine glasses together and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Zhao'er, what's going on today?"
Zhao Song put down his beer glass. Months of exercise had made him drink longer.
"We have to start from the beginning. The time I stabbed myself with a knife and Brother Dou was beaten, I thought it was too serious. I was scaring myself, but it actually didn't matter to you."
Seeing several people nodding, Zhao Songcai continued: "But it is undeniable that the market in Zhongguancun is still not peaceful. How can such a hugely profitable industry be peaceful?
Only a fool would believe it.
How many part-time college students are there now, including the one from the National People's Congress selling optical drives, the two from Huaqing 8-channel, Director Qin, and Zhonghai?"
Director Qin thought for a while and said: "There are more than 50, and they can be found in any school."
"Are there any female college students?"
Everyone was in a daze. No, really not.
“Zhongguancun is in chaos, with ruins everywhere, people selling goods, CDs, and invoices.
When I entered Zhonghai, there were some barbaric solicitors. 90% of them were men. Which female college student would dare to work part-time?"
Lao Wang next door asked: "Which ones dare to do it today?"
"Uncle Wang, the country has issued a policy. College students who graduate this year will no longer be assigned jobs. The few today who have family difficulties can be regarded as thinking ahead.
The most important thing is that Pacific and Beijing are connected, and Manager Wu's attitude has also assured us.
These girls are actually advertisements to enhance their image. College students are still worth some money now, but when I graduate from this expanded enrollment, they won’t be worth much anymore.”
After drinking another glass of wine, Zhao Dou asked worriedly: "Brother, after entering the Pacific Ocean, even if you enter the sight of brand machines, do you really want to touch them?"
Zhao Song laughed and said: "What the hell, they are doing marketing as a business group, and I am not even a polished commander. They purchase directly from the factory, and I purchase from the retailer. How much is the cost difference?"
Zhao Song stretched out three fingers and said solemnly: "I have three axes. Let's see what happens when the three axes pass!"
So, brother Dou, you must watch me, if I dare to touch the payment or enter the bank, beat me to death!"
Seeing Zhao Dou nodding, Zhao Song felt relieved. He knew that Zhao Dou had promised that as long as he did it, he would definitely be beaten to death... Damn it!
Boss Niu sighed with emotion: "Zhonghai Zhao Song is actually talking about this young man, who is so stable!"
Zhao Song blushed. Damn it, apart from being timid and fearful, he really had no plan.
It was late at night, and after putting several elders into a taxi, Zhao Song said to Brother Dou: "Brother, you have to go home in person in a few days. There are two sets of papers for my little sister to do. Don't give me any more at this time."
My classmates watched it.”
Zhao Dou nodded vigorously.
"Gone..."
It was May Day, 2000, cloudy and early in the morning.
One after another, the yellow wind swept away the severe cold in the north and brought spring in the fields.
Dongjiawan, Yulanzhuang, Nanfeng District, Shantang City, Bac Ha Province.
The countryside in books seems to be pastoral, with beautiful scenery, small bridges and flowing water, and people living there.
Xizi straightened up from the field with difficulty, beat his head twice, then raised his head and looked around.
The scene before us was desolate. Garbage bags could be seen everywhere, scattered in the fields, and there were muddy ditches everywhere. People who loved cleanliness had no place to step down.
The busy spring season has begun. Due to the lack of labor at home, Xizi took leave a week early and came back. During the remaining May Day holiday, the last three acres of land had to be plowed and planted with his brother no matter what.
His father suffered from hemophilia, and the money Zhao Song gave him before his death was enough for a year's worth of blood transfusions. As long as the remaining fields are cultivated, the whole family will feel relieved about this year's success.
"Brother, finish your breakfast first and I'll do it first." The younger brother came over with the rice.
Xizi nodded and sat on the ridge of the field, "Just rest when you are tired."
(Will you still care about me, my dearest friend, when I decide to let go of everything and take the road to freedom)
Breakfast is very simple, consisting of white flour steamed buns, millet porridge, and homemade pickles. If Zhao Song were there, he would definitely be drooling because they are all made with firewood.
I ate it randomly and found a big bowl full of porridge and 3 big steamed buns. I ate them all in a short while.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, and his bronze complexion regained some energy.
"Lezi, you go over there, the ground is hard, I'll do it!"
"Brother, please take a break and then do it again."
"What are you worrying about!" Xizi walked to the field, picked up the hoe, and swung it hard.
(Will you still stay with me? The relatives I miss the most have already bid farewell to yesterday and are heading towards the future.)
Sweat blurred her eyes, and Xizi, who had not done farm work for several months, felt a little rusty.
From a prosperous super city to a barren countryside, Xizi didn't have any emotions.
There are a lot of things at home waiting for him to worry about, so how can he spend so much time worrying about Qiu Bei?
Xizi, as Zhao Song said, is steady, down-to-earth, not arrogant, and lives a small life of contentment.
"Didi~~" came the sound of a whistle in the distance.
Xizi didn't care. There was a national highway over there and there were a lot of cars coming and going.
"Brother, it's Tesla, the Tesla you told me about!" Lezi shouted loudly.
Xizi suddenly raised his head. The van covered with Tesla advertisements had stopped at the edge of the field. Zhao Song got down from the cab and waved vigorously at Xizi.
(I want to be as free as a dream, as strong as the sky, and experience the meaning of life on this winding road)
Doing business is boring all the time. I miss my friend and I want to go and play with him.
……….
Dongjiawan instantly became a sensation, and Xizi’s good friends from university came.
What kind of people are those?
Bai Li is as beautiful as a fairy, always wearing an elegant and approachable smile.
The clean and handsome guy was running around in the farmland like he was having fun, greeting everyone happily.
Xiaoyu looked around curiously, smiling sweetly at the corner of her mouth, and her smiling eyes were so cute that they exploded.
The intellectual beauty is quiet and has a scholarly temperament that makes people only dare to look at her from a distance.
Xiaoyong and Xiaoyan are a classic combination of handsome men and beautiful women. They walked hand in hand in the fields.
Gao Liming and Zhu Zhizhi...please ignore these two roommates that no one cares about.
Xizi's mother excitedly started preparing lunch, and Xizi's father's pale face suddenly turned rosy.
My son is lucky, it’s a good thing that he can make such friends.
Zhao Song squatted on the field ridge depressedly, took out a cigarette and lit it. Everyone was enjoying themselves, and no one paid any attention to him.
Xizi came over and squatted beside him.
"How long does it take to finish?" Zhao Song asked, blowing out a puff of smoke.
"Three acres of land."
"May Day is enough. I'll give you two more days off when I get back."
"Aren't you here to help me with my work?"
"I'm here to eat my mother's firewood rice and work in the fields? Don't even think about it."
Those who have never done farm work should never go to the fields casually. Not to mention causing trouble, if you do it for a while, you will not be able to get out of bed for a week.
Xizi smiled. The last time Zhao Song came, he helped even more than he could, but the result was tragic...
"Xizi, is that land still there?" Zhao Song suddenly asked.
"Tribute black rice?" Xizi asked in surprise. Seeing Zhao Song nod, he continued: "Yes! Always there. Over the years, some people have been silently protecting it. Steel mills and abandoned rubber processing plants cannot be opened.
Come to Magnolia Village."
"Who is so awesome?"
"Many people, from the government and villagers. The only thing Magnolia Village has to offer is that piece of land."
"Has that black tribute rice grown again?" Zhao Song asked.
Xizi lowered his head bitterly and said nothing.
Zhao Song sighed, he couldn't help at all. In the future, there will also be a steel mill and an abandoned rubber processing plant here.
Shantang is a city ranked ninth in the world in steel production.
In the future, there will be only haze and pollution here, and black rice may no longer be grown on that land.
"Zhao Song, is there nothing we can do?"
"Just wait, the future is worth looking forward to."
Of course, it is worth looking forward to. To the extent a country is determined to develop its economy, it will be determined to control its environment.
In the future, Shantang City will dig out a water system around the city! All steel plants that do not meet the standards will be closed down.
The future is really worth looking forward to.
"Let's go, some problem children are waiting for me!"
Xizi smiled, picked up the hoe, and walked to the field.
………….
"One, two, three, jump into the pig pen!"
Xiaoyu thought naughtily, she would dance two dances first, the last one was the dirtiest, she wouldn't dance, and let these naughty kids dance.
The slogan sounded, Xiaoyu let go of the naughty child's hand and jumped off the wall. It turns out that this is the taste of freedom, it turns out that this is the feeling of flying...
Xiaoyu opened her eyes and found herself standing alone in the pig pen, with a group of naughty children standing on the wall, looking at her like a fool.
Are all children in rural areas so smart? Xiaoyu is so in love.
"Haha~~~" Zhao Song was so happy that he couldn't straighten up. There are no geographical distinctions between naughty children, urban and rural. If you treat them as fools, you will be the fool.
Pull Xiaoyu out and rub her head.
"Is it fun?"
Nod vigorously, except that the naughty kid is too annoying.
"My parents will come to Kyoto in a few days. I told them about you and they want to meet you."
Xiaoyu's expression was a little panicked.
"If you don't object, they will adopt you. Before that, a notarization will be made. The yard in Xiagou Village belongs to you and no one can take it away."
Xiaoyu's eyes were a little red.
"My parents are relatively realistic people and a bit simple. They may be very polite to you at first, please you, and treat you with caution. I hope you don't mind. You need to adapt to each other."
Nod vigorously.
"I have read your composition, which is really good. You yearn for freedom and the unknown.
I think there is a career that is very suitable for you, that is, travel writer."
Xiaoyu was shocked, there is such a profession?
"I signed up for you in the correspondence class of Lu Xun College of Literature. When you graduate, I will take my parents to travel to thousands of mountains and rivers, and write a few travel notes along the way to earn royalties!"
Xiaoyu's eyes were red and she grabbed Zhao Song's hand hard.
"Xiaoyu, you are not sick in your heart. Except for your parents, you have met very good people since you were a child, so what I just said has a premise.
Come with me to Director Qi’s home to apologize and find a way to resolve the matter!"
"Xiaoyu, that is a hurdle. Facing it will become your life experience. Avoiding it will stay in your heart and you will never be able to get over it for the rest of your life."
He rubbed Xiaoyu's head and said, "Look at your brother Xizi, he is like a stone. Nothing can pry open his shell. The wind and rain in life cannot stop him from yearning for life."
………..
The handsome man was plowing the fields hard under the watch of a group of people. He was not causing trouble, he really knew how to do it. Although he was very unfamiliar, he was really helping.
"Hey! Teach me!" Bai Li approached and said unceremoniously.
There were exclamations in the distance. The two people standing together were so impactful.
The handsome man rolled his eyes at her, but then he started teaching her seriously.
Zhao Song in the distance gave up his plan to find the commander-in-chief. That's fine, let's all relax.
He hugged Wen Jing's waist and walked towards Xizi's house.
"Zhao Song, why don't you find a chance to stay here for a longer time?" Wen Jing was very excited.
Within a week, you'll go crazy.
"Okay, then we can stay as long as you want!"
"Zhao Song, why don't we girls have friends like you and Xizi?"
Because you girls are magical creatures.
"That's because you haven't met each other yet. Keep working hard, girl!" Zhao Song's hand slipped down again...
………
Zhao Song thinks that when stir-frying over firewood, only those with meat are delicious. As for a bunch of vegetarian dishes, they will have the same flavor no matter how they are stir-fried.
The lunch was very sumptuous, and a group of people had their mouths full of oil.
Bai Lidu ate two bowls of rice and slumped on the chair without any image, Lezi's eyes widened as she watched.
However, Wen Jing only ate a few mouthfuls of vegetables and leaves, not a single bite of the big fish or meat. Zhao Song frowned as she watched. How on earth did her father feed Wen Jing?
After dinner, it's time to leave. Xizi's house is full of things, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time.
Bai Li looked at the blushing Xizi and asked with a smile: "Didn't I cause you any trouble?"
Xizi shook his head vigorously and said, "As soon as you come here, my dad won't need blood transfusions for two months."
Bai Li nodded, hugged Xizi gently, "Let's go, good friend."
……………
"Brother, you just have a nosebleed!"
"roll!"
……………
When you are happy, time always flies by.
Zhao Song drove his beloved Jinbei car on the Beijing-Shenyang Expressway.
"Zhao Song, why don't you leave some money?" Wen Jing suddenly asked.
"When people treat you sincerely, it's not good to leave money. People in the village are very particular about this."
The handsome man sitting in the passenger seat also nodded and said in a low voice: "I once had friends like Xizi. No matter how poor they are, they will try their best to entertain their guests. If the guests leave money, they will be really disrespectful."
Where are the people."
Zhao Song glanced at the handsome man, but didn't know what to say.
He can trick his father and mother into suffering in the mountains. In his opinion, the handsome man is the one who is really mentally ill.
But what he did was a good thing, and Zhao Song had no way of talking about it.
Suddenly, Zhao Song darkened his face, parked the car slowly on the emergency parking strip, looked ahead at the exit of Dibao District, Jinmen City, and asked: "Shuai Shuai, do you feel like something is missing?"
The handsome man quickly looked back.
"…………"
Zhao Song drove off the highway and turned back.
……………
A quiet place at the end of Dongjiawan Village.
On a big tree that was as thick as one person's waist, two people digging out bird's nests went up and could not get back down.
"Gao Liming, did you see anyone?"
"No, Intelligent. The boss said that the firewood-cooked rice is very delicious. I don't know if they have started cooking. If they don't see us by then, they will come to look for us."
"I'm hungry too..." Zhu Zhi said frustratedly.
"Intelligence, just pick out the bird eggs alone. What are you doing here?"
