Chapter 2 Out of the Mountains

A string of bells rang out, and Li Tianchou turned his head to see that it was Fa Xiao Sandou from the same village, and he was driving a few goats to the entrance of the village.

"Sandou, herding sheep?" Li Tianchou greeted with squinted eyes.

"Brother Tianchou, are you lying here again?" Sandou's answer was weak, since he failed to raise pigs with Li Tianchou, he was listless all day long, and it was difficult to see a smile on his face.

"It's cool in the morning, basking in the sun. Li Tianchou simply jumped off the big stone, although he was not used to seeing Sandou's expression, he still had a pimple in his heart. A few young people followed themselves to engage in breeding, and they have endured a lot of hardships for more than a year, but nothing has happened, this time there is an opportunity to go out to work, Li Tianchou first thought of the other party, "Let me tell you something." ”

"What's the matter? There are new varieties again?" Sandou's expression was still sluggish, thinking that Li Tianchou had come up with some novel breeding ideas, but he couldn't arouse much interest anymore. No matter what you raised before, the result of the final scattering is still vivid, and it seems that everyone really didn't have the life to make a fortune when they got together.

"Hey...... Definitely not. Li Tianchou was blocked for a while: "Let me ask you, do you want to go out and see the world?"

"See the world, of course I want to!" Sandou scratched his head in surprise, "Where are we going?"

"I went to work in a coastal city in the south. You see, my comrade-in-arms is there, calling me to go," as he spoke, Li Tianchou hurriedly took out the crumpled letter from his pocket and said, "If you want, count me in." ”

"Can I get a job if I go to a coastal city?" Sandou's eyes widened, and he immediately came to his senses. Half a year ago, after raising scorpions and breaking up, Erwa followed the people from the neighboring village to the south, and heard that he sent a lot of money back to his family every month, and everyone in the village was envious. Many people are also looking forward to their babies going out, but they are timid and have no way.

"I shouldn't have run, my comrade-in-arms said, there are many opportunities there. I also work in that city, and I heard that I can earn more than 1,000 yuan a month. Li Tianchou is quite confident.

"More than 1,000 yuan?" Sandou grew his mouth in surprise. My whole family worked hard, and I could only earn two or three thousand yuan a year from farming and raising sheep.

Sandou's family has many brothers and sisters, and life is tight, his parents wish that the baby could go out to work and earn money, Sandou is naturally determined to follow Li Tianchou to the world. After receiving an affirmative reply, Li Tianchou quickly wrote a reply to his comrades-in-arms: he accepted the invitation and went south with his partners in the near future.

The letter was sent, but how to convince his parents made it difficult for Li Tianchou. Contrary to the Sandou family, the Li family treats Li Tianchou and his sister as the two of them, and when it comes to male babies, they can be regarded as the only seedlings. The whole family is looking forward to him marrying his daughter-in-law and starting a family as soon as possible, and it is simply impossible to run out at this juncture.

The paper can't contain the fire, and Li Tianchou doesn't want to hide it from his family like this, so just say it directly.

The result of the showdown was as expected, and the father was furious and resolutely disagreed. claims that if you want to go out into the world, you have to start a family first. The mother was resigned, and couldn't say anything. My sister is quite supportive, but she is small.

Li Tianchou, who had made up his mind, decided to leave secretly, he made an appointment with Sandou, and told him not to leak the news. But when it came time to travel, there was still a little accident.

After meeting at the appointed time, Li Tianchou found that Sandou was followed by another person, and when he looked closely, it was Huaishan. "What the is going on?" he pulled Sandou aside, unhappy. The other party scratched his head innocently, a little timid, "This...... I accidentally said that I missed my mouth ......".

"Brother Tianchou, don't blame Sandou. Huaishan hurriedly explained, "I went to Erwa's place, but I haven't been far away, and I just heard that the place you went to is the same city as Erwa, so I came with me to accompany you." Don't worry, I won't join you when I go to the ground. ”

Li Tianchou understood, but he heard Huaishan's words, and his heart was depressed. It's not that he wants to deliberately leave the other party aside, the main concern is that he is the only son in the family, and a while ago I heard that the matchmaker told him that he was a daughter-in-law, and it is really difficult to explain that he took people away at this juncture. But time was short, and it was difficult to explain more, and the three of them went on the road together in the early morning before dawn.

I didn't go far before the second accident came. The three of them accidentally bumped into a wandering figure at the entrance of the village, Li Tianchou recognized it as his wife, he felt sour in his heart, and shouted "Mother!".

The figure was shocked, and then saw Li Tianchou in the dark, "Tianchou, you are in such a hurry, and you don't say a word to your mother." ”

"Are you still resting this morning...... The main thing is to catch the county's car in the afternoon", Li Tianchou felt apologetic in his heart.

"Mother knows that you have ideas, and she won't stop you. Just go out and take care of yourself. Mother Li said, took out a folded handkerchief from her arms and stuffed it into Li Tianchou's hand, "As the saying goes, the poor are rich, and this money is saved by my mother herself." Mother has nothing else to help you, remember to write home often. ”

Li Tianchou held a heavy handkerchief, tears burst out of his eyes.

"Don't be stunned, if your father finds out for a while, you won't be able to leave. Mother Li said, she couldn't help but bow her head and wipe away her tears.

"Mother, take care of your health, I will write often. Hurry back, it's cold outside. After Li Tianchou finished speaking, he was ruthless, turned around and beckoned, and went out of the village with Huaishan and Tudou.

Walking along the mountain beam, the east was already slightly glowing with white light, and when he turned the mountain pass, Li Tianchou looked back at the familiar village entrance, and a figure was still standing there quietly.

When the father who arrived in Huaishan dragged Li Xuejin all the way to the county seat, and stumbled on the long-distance bus to the provincial capital, Li Tianchou and the three of them had already squeezed into the train to SZ City.

The train started slowly and left the provincial station, and the three of them were already physically and mentally exhausted, and they had been rushing frantically for more than a day, and they never dared to stop and rest like frightened birds. Especially Huaishan, like a dog, he knows his father very well, if he is caught, he will have to be hung up and beaten half to death.

It was the peak of the summer season, and the carriages were overcrowded and crowded. There was a strange smell in the small space that was suffocating, a mixture of athlete's foot, sweat, and children's feces and urine. As the train passed through the city and began to accelerate, the technical advantages of the new air-conditioned train were brought into full play, and the powerful ventilation system finally gave a big breath to the stuffy car that was about to explode.

But the location of the train joints is still not good, and there are more people here, most of them farmers who have gone out to work. In addition to people, it is bedding and luggage, and there is not a single space where you can get your feet. Some of them are still dragging their families, and adults shouting and children are screaming, which is extremely noisy.

Li Tianchou was standing against the car door at the moment, Rao was in good health, and he was already sweating profusely. A strong man who looked like a migrant worker next to him was even more panting like a cow, and his face was red. He was carrying an oversized piece of luggage, more than a person tall, and he was blocked at the door of the car just now, if Li Tianchou hadn't dragged him away in time, I am afraid that a small half of the people would not have been able to get into the car when driving.

"Dude, this luggage is big and heavy enough, you are moving. Li Tianchou felt that he was too heavy in a hurry just now, and he couldn't stand the strong man in front of him, so he took the opportunity to joke with him.

"Large luggage" kept wiping his sweat, and when he got in the car just now, he suffered Li Tianchou's loss, and he couldn't have a seizure, so he could only stare at him angrily and didn't answer.

Li Tianchou didn't care, he smiled at the strong man in a friendly manner, his eyes wandered around, looking for Sandou and Huaishan. But there was no shadow of the two, the three of them were scattered when they got on the bus just now, and the two brothers should get on the car in front of him, and they didn't think there was a reason to get lost, so they weren't worried.

At this time, Sandou's voice came from not far away, "Brother Tianchou, here." Li Tianchou looked for a sound and saw that Sandou and Huaishan actually poked their heads out of the toilet at the junction of the carriage.

If you look closely, there is a hole in the sky. The toilet with a big palm actually squeezed out four or five people, and everyone spread the newspaper on the ground, stacked the luggage, and sat on it, steady and leisurely. Li Tianchou nodded at Sandou, but did not pass, because he was too lazy to squeeze over.

The two young people went out for the first time, and they had never seen the bustle and hustle and bustle of a big city, and they were more than nervous along the way, but they were not excited enough. Li Tianchou sighed in his heart, most of the dolls who just came out of the mountains would react like this, why wasn't he like this back then?
