Urban slums

Mercedes-Benz in 2009 was a luxury that ordinary people could not have dreamed of. Not to mention the S-class, you can sit once, that guy, that can blow it in the village for years.

The distance to the provincial capital is 300 kilometers, and it takes at least three hours to drive.

"Where do you plan to go to the provincial capital?" Zhang Kui asked when he saw the two young people behind him as restrained as a graduation photo from the rearview mirror.

"Go to the zoo first, then go boating in the park, and then go to the movies at the end," Mona replied. The hand on her lap swayed from side to side, as if she was shaking, and she didn't know what she was afraid of.

"It's my first time going to a big city, and I don't know anything, so I'll just listen to Mona!" Compared with Mona, Forrest Gump is more comfortable, leaning his head against the window, holding his hand and enjoying the beauty of the passing scenery.

"Huo, the youth dating three-piece suit! It's exactly the same as when I chased your aunt. However, I didn't have such good conditions as you do now, even if this is an ordinary three-piece dating suit, I have to save half a month. Your aunt was a big beauty back then, a standard city person, what were we at that time, a big dirt bag from the countryside. Working on the construction site every day, not to mention being dirty and tired, a full day is only a dozen yuan of wages. But I was young at that time, just like you are now, I have vitality and a lot of confidence in my vision for the future. Uncle Kui's rival at that time was more than one, and he had all the good conditions, not to mention his appearance, all of them could be thrown out of Uncle Kui's eight streets. But there is one thing that Uncle Kui does not have, that is, the ruffian born and raised in the countryside, and your aunt took a fancy to me back then. ”

After Zhang Kui finished speaking, the three of them laughed, and the people in the back row lost their previous restraints, and the embarrassing atmosphere was broken, and the three of them ran towards the provincial capital with a smile and a smile.

The car has entered the city, this bustling metropolis, full of high-rise buildings on the ground, and busy streets, so that Forrest Gump, who has never been out of the county, is dumbfounded. When his father was alive, although he was not satisfied with the present, he at least had a tree to rely on, even if he was revengeful, he was not in a hurry, after all, he was not yet a complete adult. It's different now, everything came so suddenly, the tree fell and people's hearts were broken, the village woman's poisonous verbal attack, the strange eyes of the neighbors, he was fed up with the status quo from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't hate these people, because after all, the words were not rough. At this time, an idea suddenly sprung up in his mind: "He wants to get ahead". Yes, this is it, everything here is so lively, fast-paced, challenging, that's what he wants now, what he needs, what he pursues. He decided to take a gamble, and the bet was his youth, and the time was ten years. Not for anything else, just to go to the restaurant in the future and not have to pick a cheap one, when ordering food, you don't have to stare at the menu to see the price, no one dares to eat chopsticks when you don't arrive, and no one dares to sit down when you stand. Thinking about it, the blood boiled, this is a man, this is called youth, this is not in vain in this life.

Zhang Kui sent them to the gate of the zoo and left.

Forrest Gump, who has always been a straight man, has completely opened his mind today, and his emotional intelligence has also become higher, so he took the initiative to go to the vendor next to him to buy a sunhat for Mona, although the color was not well chosen, but after all, it was also a heart, and Mona was already very happy.

Although the zoo in the provincial capital is not too big, because of the hot weather, the two of them walked for more than three hours. Meng Na is okay, after all, he is a waiter, this Forrest Gump can be regarded as a comprehension today, and a blister has been ground out on each foot, which is really more than enough and not enough! The only bit of dignity of the man was shattered by him, and finally he walked out of the gate of the zoo with the help of Ren Mengna.

The rowing boat is better, electric, Forrest Gump is at the helm in the middle, and Mona sits on the side to blow the wind. In a casual moment, Forrest Gump saw Mona with long hair fluttering and bent over to play in the water, and the deer in his heart collided inexplicably, which is a kind of beauty that cannot be expressed in words and cannot be resisted by men, like a painting. At this time, he was really a little tempted.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon after rowing, and the time was a little too tight to watch the movie again, because they hadn't eaten dinner yet, so the two of them unanimously decided to cancel the last item.

"Forrest Gump, do you drink?"

"Not really, three bottles of beer, one or two bottles of liquor. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere"

After saying that, Mona waved to Uncle Mo, who was waiting on the side of the road.

"Grandpa, how much does it cost to go to the slums?"

"Give 30. ”

"Okay grandpa, no problem. ”

"Slums?" asked Forrest Gump with a puzzled face after getting into the car.

When the uncle heard this, he was interested, and then he said, "The young man just came, right? Then the uncle will tell you about it." This slum was originally a mass grave before liberation, and it was protected here after the Japanese retired from the army. Later, when the People's Republic of China was established, the state began to vigorously support the construction of cities and towns, and we were named as one of the key development targets. As a result, it has attracted a large number of developers, and developers who are smoky with interests are grabbing land everywhere, but wherever they can use it, no matter how big or small, they will not let go of an inch of land. The surrounding area of the mass grave was granted to four different developers, and each of them circled the site by one more building, and in the end, the four companies forcibly divided half of the mass grave and used the remaining vacant land as a garbage dump. At that time, the management was loose, and the ** department also focused on construction, so no one cared about it here. After the turmoil, the country had no choice but to simply clean up the remaining piece of land and build a bungalow for migrant workers to live in. The price is very cheap, only 80 yuan a month for a room. ”。

"It's three hundred and five now. Mona answered.

"Son, that's because I don't know how many hands I've been here. ”。

The gap between the rich and the poor is vividly demonstrated here, with a circle of high-rise buildings wrapping a bungalow, and the same world has different lives. But in comparison, the bungalow is many times more lively than the high-rise, although it is poor here, it is full of love, and although it is rich, it is too high to be cold. Under the sunset, groups of migrant workers who have just gotten off work are walking home in groups, talking and laughing, the smell of food wafts everywhere around the bungalows, and the children in the alleys are chasing me and having fun.

At the far end of the bungalow there was an open space full of tables and chairs, and a few young men were busy with the charcoal fire, and a few young women sat on the side and chatted between the meat skewers.

"Sister Li, Uncle Liu, Zhang Xian, Uncle Wang......" Meng Na greeted all the way without stopping. They all asked the same question, "Boyfriend?", and Mona smiled and nodded "Hmm".

All the rooms had pots and pans or tables and chairs at the doors, but the door of the last room in the last row was empty. This is where Mona lives.

When I opened the door, the smell of soap swept in, and in addition to the washbasin and drying rack, there was only a dressing table and two single beds on the left and right in the twenty-square-meter room. At this time, a skinny girl was sitting in front of the mirror and putting on makeup. However, this girl is thin and thin, but she definitely looks like a country and a city, with a melon seed face, willow eyebrows, big eyes and double eyelids, and a height of more than one meter and seven. However, this heavy makeup like splashed paint really made Forrest Gump, who had never seen much of the world, stunned.

"Sister Na?" Seeing Mona and Forrest Gump coming in, the girl looked puzzled.

"Let me introduce, his name is Forrest Gump, you just need to call Brother Gan. ”。 "This is Xiaoli, my best friend".

After Mona's introduction, the two strangers politely greeted each other.

"Look at you, you just got up, let's have a drink?" Mona said to Xiaoli.

"Let's go, who's afraid of whom! It's a big deal, if you don't go to work today, I have to give you a drink. ”。

Coming to the barbecue stand, the three of them found a place in the middle and sat down. Xiaoli was direct enough, and as soon as she sat down, she shouted, "Boss, let's first have a box of twelve bottles of mouthwash snowflakes, it should be cold." ”。

This tone was so skillful that Forrest Gump felt a little scared, and with his little amount of alcohol, it was estimated that it was not enough to quench people's thirst.

"Well, I'm sorry! I probably can't drink you, I'll let go as much as I can, but leave me alone, you can do whatever you want. ”。 Forrest Gump said hurriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm normal to drink, after all, I'm a professional. Xiaoli smiled.

"Professional?"

"yes, I drink beer in the field like I drink plain water. ”

"Distillery?"

"Poof......" Xiaoli was amused by Forrest Gump's question.

"It's the night ......"

"Well, hurry up and order, I'm hungry", Mona interrupted Xiaoli's words and glanced at her subconsciously.

Seeing this, Xiaoli didn't speak anymore, got up and went to the boss to order.

Xiaoli is actually quite pitiful, her father disappeared when she was nine years old, and later married with her mother to the provincial capital. But her stepfather was not as good as a beast, he didn't let Xiaoli study, and let her stay at home all day to serve his sick old father in bed, not to mention and urine, and had to bathe the old man. This is nothing, Xiaoli was humiliated by her stepfather under the nose of her own mother on her thirteenth birthday, and then she couldn't bear the humiliation and secretly ran out on a stormy night, when it was already late autumn, you can imagine how cold it felt in the rain. Later, cold and hungry, she followed a stray dog to a rotten building to carry it, and for half a year, she went to the street to beg during the day and went back to the kennel to sleep at night. She lived in this environment until she was 15 years old, and then the dog fell ill and died, and she left there. ”

Forrest Gump, who also lost his father, was not as miserable as Xiaoli, but he could understand her helpless feeling at that time. At this time, he had a stomach full of words that he wanted to say to Xiaoli, but he didn't know how to speak.

After Xiaoli came back, Forrest Gump gave Xiaoli a bottle of wine, picked up a bottle himself, opened the lid and said to Xiaoli: "Come, brother will have a good drink with you......"
