It's coming, it's a little late today, sorry.

When it comes to film and television dramas from the perspective of civilian work, the problem of money is basically unavoidable, which is also a normal situation, after all, it is to make money that the profession of migrant workers will be formed.

No, the word occupation is not accurate, to be exact, it should actually be considered a phenomenon.

And the story written by Zhang Bufan did not avoid the issue of money, and it can even be said that his story revolves around money.

The departure of Xiao Jia and Xiao Xu is related to money.

Xiao Jia has a younger sister, seeing that she is going to high school, and the family's harvest this year is not bad, enough for the girl to go to school, but Xiao Jia heard the private words of her parents, and her own girl will go to high school at most, and the family really can't get the money to go to college.

Xiao Xu has an elder brother, 5 years older than him, and now he is the main force in the family's farming, but when he reaches the age of marriage, he can't find his daughter-in-law for a long time, the reason is very simple, he can't get the bride price.

That's why the two of them wanted to go out to work.

In the process of accepting the two "uncles" who went out to work back to the village, the two of them heard the two uncles say how good it was outside and how much money they could make, and they heard from them that there were very few people in the capital during the Chinese New Year, and it was not even as lively as the village.

So as soon as the two of them combined, they decided to go on the road early and rush to the capital to work, when they wanted to come, there were still few people at that time, and no one would compete with them for work, they could earn more.

This is the reason why they arrived in the capital before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

In the end, the little money they saved was really not enough to buy a ticket, so in the end, the two of them each stole a little money from their families, which was enough to make up the money for the trip to the capital.

And the family side is also about money.

The parents of the two families found the note left by the two, and then they knew that their son had gone to the capital to work and stole the family's money.

And the money of the two families is also useful.

In Xiao Jia's family, his sister is in the second semester of the third year of junior high school after the New Year, and she will go to high school after the New Year, and the money saved by the family is to provide for her daughter's school tuition, and some in addition to the family, she wants to buy a new dress for her daughter, so that she will not be ashamed in front of her classmates.

And the money that Xiao Jia stole happened to be the money to buy clothes for her daughter.

Holding the note, Jia's father and mother apologized and told their daughter that the new clothes that were originally scheduled to go to high school may be gone, but the time is still early, and there may be hope for the father to think of a way to take on other jobs.

In Xiao Xu's family, it was his brother who held the note, and compared to the ignorance of the girl in the Xu family, he knew better that the part of the money that his younger brother took was saved by the family for him, and he wanted to be able to buy a jade bracelet and other bride price that he could get his hands on.

The money is also not much, but it is already the money that the family has barely saved for three years in addition to various expenses, according to what he inquired before, according to the speed at which his family saves money, there will be another 3 or 5 years, and he can buy a bracelet that is quite reasonable, but now, the money for the bottom is gone, and it seems that the little hope is gone.

However, even so, whether it is the Xiao Xu family or the Xiao Jia family, whether they are sisters or elder brothers or their parents, they have no complaints about their elder brother, younger brother, and son, because they know that the reason why their sons want to go out to work to make money is actually for them.

Next, the two families coincidentally found the two people who had returned from working outside and inquired about the specific situation outside.

When they heard that Xiao Jia and Xiao Xu left home to work so early, the two couldn't help but look at each other.

With their experience of wandering outside for many years, when they go to the capital at this time, they can't find a job at all, yes, there are few competitors at this time, but there are also fewer people who need to use migrant workers, the construction site is suspended, all kinds of odd jobs are difficult to find, and even there is basically no decoration and housekeeping - who will do this during the Chinese New Year?

At this time, the two families, who had still had a trace of expectation for their son, looked at each other even more, and couldn't say anything for a while.

At this point, half of the story is explained, and the other half is also around the word "money".

Jia and Xu went to eat at a small restaurant—the smallest-looking, most dilapidated and cheapest restaurant they had found after two hours of searching.

After all, during the Chinese New Year, the smaller the restaurant, the less open it is.

The two of them took the menu in the small restaurant, read it several times, and finally ordered a bowl of the cheapest noodle soup.

However, even the cheapest noodle soup is ridiculously expensive for them, and the two of them are eating noodles while chatting about the high cost of consumption in the capital.

It's like this bowl of noodles, put in their village, even more than the money spent on a meal for their family of four.

It's not breakfast, it's lunch!

Don't be surprised, it's true.

This is the second day they came here, the day before, in order to save money, the two of them bought a few big steamed buns, and ate them with mustard, and the reason why they came to this small restaurant today is actually because they came out all the way to find work to do, walked to the neighborhood, and found that they couldn't find a place to sell steamed buns, and they were really hungry, so they had to walk in here.

So, two young people who had been looking for two days but still couldn't find a job, while trying to eat noodles that didn't taste good, encouraged each other, the early birds had worms, they would definitely find a job to do and earn all the money back!

In the end, there was not even a drop of soup left in the two bowls of noodle soup.

At the same time, in the old family, there were originally two families of four, but there were only three people sitting at the dining table - their son had already arrived in the capital.

The rice on the two tables is very similar, a basket of wotou, a bowl of home-pickled pickles and a plate of freshly fried greens, on the whole, it is really not as valuable as the bowl of noodle soup in the capital.

At this time of year, when they are eating, they will watch TV programs seriously, in the depths of such mountains, the TV is still a 20-inch big ass TV, and there is no connection, only relying on the cauldron on the roof to bring a few TV stations.

But they still enjoy it, because it's one of the few entertainment things in this small village.

Today, the TV is on, but it's full of snowflakes – the cauldron is in the wrong place.

However, none of the men in the two families adjusted the position of the cauldron on the roof of the district, and they were not in that mood, and no one even cared about whether it was a snowflake or a program on TV.

They were all thinking about the boy who was out of the house in their house, and their conversation was all about the two children, or going deeper, about money.

"I don't know if the two children ate or not, and what they ate. ”

"Don't worry, I heard that the capital is very good, everything is good, and the food is good. ”

"But listening to those two, things in the capital are also expensive, and the two of them won't be reluctant to eat it, and I don't know if the money they bring is enough. ”

"Enough, why is it not enough, the money they brought is enough to eat this table for half a month!"

"That'...... Can they really make money?"

At this moment, the two families at the two tables looked at each other in the same way, and were speechless for a long time......
