Chen Ziang is nine years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, born with white skin and beautiful appearance, the skin of a person in her thirties is blown like a bomb, there is no slightest spot on her face, occasionally a little laugh lines at the corners of her eyes, and there are two small dimples when she laughs, she stands in front of a building in Zhongguancun, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar street with brilliant lights outside.

Seventeen years ago, she was twenty-two years old that year, in her prime, invincible youth, and went north alone, wanting to be a North Drifter, but the reality was cruel.

She has nothing to do, she has stayed in the capital for less than a month, her savings are gone, she has not found a job, and in the end she has no money to live in a hotel.

She is unwilling, she wants to have good looks, but she has no knowledge, she graduated from high school, how difficult it is to find a job in the capital, even if it is a hotel waiter.

It's not that she doesn't want to go to school, it's that family conditions don't allow her to go to school.

The past flashed in front of me like a movie, how is that beautiful woman now?

What happened to the person who changed her life on the streets of Beijing?

Chen Ziang was born in a small mountain village, the mountains stretch endlessly, and when she was young, she often looked at the floating clouds and imagined the outside world.

Looking forward to going out one day, she is unwilling to marry and have children like the girls in her hometown.

Girls in the countryside married very early, and Chen Ziang had eight brothers and sisters in her family, and she was the youngest.

Parents only think about having children, thinking that the more children the better, but they don't want to raise children.

The parents didn't read much, the father could only know his own name, and the mother didn't even know her own name, and they also suffered from not reading, so for their children, they must let the children read.

As the sun rose and the sun set, my father and mother bent over to provide for their eight sisters to study, and the eldest sister graduated from the teacher college and taught in an elementary school.

The second brother studied archaeology, ran around all day long, often did not see people, and later married a woman from a provincial town, and the second brother also settled in the provincial capital, broke away from the rural household registration, and became a city person.

The third sister was admitted to a police academy and is now a policeman and a coach in the county seat! Later, she has been in Quancheng, married and had children, and her husband is also a civil servant, and the conditions are medium.

The fourth sister studied accounting, worked in an accounting firm, and after hard work, she was also admitted to the financial director of a unit, and she held economic power!

The fifth sister is beautiful, but she is young and does not do her job, she secretly falls in love when she goes to school, and eloped with a man.

The sixth brother went out to work, and his whereabouts were unknown until many years later, when they recognized each other, but things are not people, and the sixth brother has changed a lot!

The sixth brother's work is similar to that of the third sister, but one is bright and the other is dark!

Chen Ziang is often proud to have a third sister and a sixth brother!

Seventh brother doesn't like to go to school, his father pooled money to let Seventh Brother learn to drive, to find a survival craft, and now with Chen Ziang, the business is getting bigger and bigger, brother and sister are connected, and their profits are broken!

When Chen Ziang was a teenager, his brothers and sisters had already settled down, although Chen Ziang was excellent in character and learning, but his father and mother were old and could not support her tuition, and the seventh brother married the seventh sister-in-law and spent a lot of money on the family, and the family basically had no savings, and the pattern of the family changed after the seventh sister-in-law came back.

The seventh sister-in-law is the doll that the father set for the seventh brother, originally the seventh brother was not interested in the seventh sister-in-law, the seventh sister-in-law did not read much, graduated from primary school, and soon after the door, the seventh brother went out to work, leaving the seventh sister-in-law alone in the empty room, the seventh sister-in-law had a bad temper and often fell in the face.

Mom and Dad coaxed carefully, and finally the seventh sister-in-law said nothing at home, which made Chen Ziang bitter, originally Chen Ziang was the youngest baby bump in the family, but now he has become a person who does not want to be seen.

Because tuition is also a large expense, the parents are old, it is not easy to make money, occasionally the seventh brother sends some money back, several bosses have their own families, and life is also according to oranges, whenever Chen Ziang needs tuition, the seventh sister-in-law is not very happy.

The parents are getting older year by year, and when Chen Ziang went to high school, they could no longer afford Chen Ziang's tuition, and with the arrival of his little nephew, the family's life was even more difficult.

A few days before Chen Ziang was about to leave school, the seventh sister-in-law would say, "Why are girls studying so many books?

Neither father nor mother was silent.

"Mom and Dad, I said that Ziang is good when he reaches junior high school, and now the conditions are not good, why don't you go home and help me?"

"She's in high school now, at least let her finish high school, right?" Mom finally couldn't help but say.

"Then I don't have much money now, and my family still has to live. ”

"Don't say it, I'll take Ziang to take out a loan. ”

My mother took Chen Ziang to the credit union for a loan, ran for two days, and took out a loan of 200 yuan.

The tuition fee is 60 yuan, and you have to pay for food, which is 30 yuan for a semester, and you have to bring your own firewood, which is too far away from home and has no wood, so you can only pay 10 yuan to buy wood at a nearby farmer's house, and the rest of Ziang has to pay the tuition fee for the next semester and a year's living expenses.

Chen Ziang pinched the two, five, and ten tickets that came with a loan, and looked at the end of the mountain, where the world must be very exciting, she must go out to see, she must be admitted to university, even if it is a loan to study!

Chen Ziang went to a key high school in the city as she wished, and she thought that high school life was beautiful!

But because of family conditions, she often eats the last meal but does not eat the next.

At that time, the food was thin corn paste, and the better ones in the family would have steamed buns as dry food, and the medium ones would be corn buns, with sauerkraut or pickles.

Each meal requires two taels of meal tickets, and two taels of meal tickets are a thin porcelain bowl to drink in one sip.

The third sister is in the city, and the family conditions are not very good, and the salary is more than ten yuan, and she lives with her mother-in-law.

Chen Ziang went to school in the city, and sometimes Chen Ziang went to the third sister's house, and the third sister would secretly give Chen Ziang a little food or a little pocket money.

In this way, Ziang often eats the last meal and does not have the next meal, which classmate will he go to tomorrow in this same classmate, so he went to the first year of high school for a year, and Ziang's tuition in the first half of the second semester of high school was not taught, and the loan for the first year has not been repaid.

Chen Ziang simply didn't go home during the summer vacation, worked in the city, earned 40 yuan, and paid part of the tuition, but there was still a difference in living expenses, Ziang couldn't stay in the school, so he went to a classmate Xia Yan's rented house and squeezed a bed with Xia Yan, the outside accommodation environment was very loose, there was no strictness of the school, Ziang often sat with Xia Yan by the river outside the city for half a night.

What does Chen Ziang eat today? Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground.

Thinking of the past, Chen Ziang is very grateful to the current society, if there is no good policy, how can she, a rural girl, stand on the building in Zhongguancun?

And she misses the person who helped her more and more.

The young time passes by like a movie!
