Chapter 30: Erya is coming
Money and power have always complemented each other and relied on each other.
In He Yilong's view, influence is also a manifestation of potential, power is a potential, prestige is a potential, and popularity is also a potential.
Rich and powerless are like rootless pinch, which is not stable at all, and may be pulled out one day. It's like an ordinary person who wins the lottery and becomes a billionaire, will others be afraid or respected, no, they will just treat him as a lucky boy.
He Yilong can still remember that in his previous life, there was a star from the countryside who liked to wear coats and sing. Compared with the villagers, he must be rich, but he has never known how to build momentum, so the villagers don't care about him, they just regard him as a wronged leader. Later, the villagers came up and kicked his door as a kind of courage contest, and the surrounding neighbors have regarded this as a pleasure in life.
Although He Yilong doesn't need to watch out for these for the time being, but be prepared, He Yilong thinks about it, and it is also to accumulate prestige in advance, after all, the pen is sometimes very intimidating.
The Internet café had Zhao Yunliang to follow up a lot faster, and He Yilong offered a reward to the decoration company, if it could be completed ahead of schedule, there would be an additional bonus. For the sake of the reward, the decoration company directly mobilized workers to work 24 hours a day, and the process of the Internet café was also pushed forward by Kuaishou.
Qi Tongfu and the others also agreed with He Yilong's approach, after all, they were also anxious to see the results.
When He Yilong was busy with the Internet café, Erya and Xu Ying came to the county seat.
Originally, there were relatives of Xu Ying's relatives in the county seat, but after Erya arrived here, she wanted to find He Yilong, Xu Ying had no choice but to call, He Yilong was in class, and when he heard the call, he came out of the back door directly.
When I saw Erya, this little girl was looking around on the side of the road, full of curiosity about everything in front of her, and her big eyes of surprise looked around.
Er Ya had been staying in the village before, and had studied in primary school for two years, and I heard that the grades were not bad. After her father fell ill, classes were suspended for a while, but then she didn't go to school again, and the county seat was her first visit. In the past, at most, during the Chinese New Year, she followed the people in the village to walk a few miles of mountain roads to the town to see the excitement.
At noon, He Yilong took the two of them to eat together.
During the meal, Erya kept chattering, explaining everything he saw, telling his incredible, in He Yilong's eyes, a little backward and dilapidated small county, but he didn't expect it to be prosperous in Erya's eyes.
He Yilong's heart was a little sour, and he patted her head.
Thinking of what Erya said when they were in the village before, He Yilong knew the purpose of their trip to the county seat, and asked:
"Erya, you said you wanted to learn something before, how about it, have you thought about it, is there anything you want to learn?"
"I wanted to learn tailoring, but I heard that there aren't many people who make clothes now, and everyone buys clothes to wear, and now I don't know what to do!"
At the mention of this, Erya's face was bitter, and her little face wrinkled.
He Yilong looked funny,
"There's no hurry about this, let's eat first, I'll take you around the county after eating, and you can look around before making a decision." ”
"Third child, don't you still have classes in the afternoon, we won't delay your time, you study hard and don't be distracted, you will have a great chance when you go to college in the future." ”
"It's okay sister-in-law, Erya has been close to me since she was a child, I have always treated her as my own sister, she is the first time to come to the county, I naturally want to take you to have a good time shopping, compared with the village, there are still a lot of fun places here. ”
"You kid, call me sister-in-law and sister Erya, isn't this messy! If you want to take her around, then it's up to you, you are assertive, don't delay your study, I won't be with you, you can take Erya to play." What's more, with me next to me, this girl is not happy, in the afternoon I went to the second aunt to have a look, I haven't been there for a while. ”
"When I came, I talked to her aunt on the phone, and her aunt also said that she hadn't seen Erya for a long time and missed her very much, and asked me to bring Erya over. But I guess this girl won't have the same mind, so you can take her to play first, and then go to her aunt's house for dinner in the evening. ”
After lunch, Xu Ying left, and He Yilong began to take Erya around the county.
The scope of the county town is not large, but for Erya, it is no different from the world of flowers.
The whole street is full of snacks, clothing stores, jewelry stores, amusement halls.
The shouting and shouting in the sky dazzled the second girl, who had never seen this. didn't let He Yilong spend money, she took out the money from the small cloth bag she was carrying, invited He Yilong to eat, invited He Yilong to drink, He Yilong accepted it with a smile and did not refuse.
The two walked around for a whole afternoon, and when night fell Xu Ying called to urge, He Yilong took Erya to her aunt's place.
Passing by the county's landmark Xiangyang Bridge, Erya stopped.
The night is shrouded, and the nightlife of the county begins, and the neon lights embellish the night of the county. The arched bridge is a towering bridge, and standing in the middle of the bridge offers a panoramic view of the entire city.
He Yilong accompanied Erya to stand on the bridge, feeling the cool breeze on the river, He Yilong felt a trace of peace, but heard a sobbing slowly sounding around him.
On Erya's delicate and cute little face, tears slid down.
"Brother Yilong, I don't want to stay in the village for the rest of my life. ”
He Yilong was silent.
On the way back, Erya did not have the cheerful excitement of the afternoon, but had a worried face. He Yilong was a little distressed, this is the biggest wish of an ordinary girl in a mountain village.
"It's just an ordinary small county town in a relatively backward city, and the outside world is much bigger than this, with more than 100-storey buildings, a floor cleaner than this window, and a shopping mall bigger and more spacious than this street. But if you're like this, what can you do even if you go? If you don't have a culture, you can't do anything to collect money, and you will wash the floor and wipe the dishes after dinner? Or will you go to the factory and do boring things day after day, and do more than 10 hours of repetitive work every day?"
Er Ya looked at He Yilong a little puzzled.
"If you don't have just, what I just said is the most likely fate for you. If you don't want that, then take a good look at the primary school textbooks yourself, and I'll help you find a school to study!"
"I used to study at home, and I have already learned the knowledge of junior high school by myself. Didn't I always take back the books you used before, and your test papers, I didn't do much wrong. ”
Hearing He Yilong talk about studying, Erya argued with reason, but he was a little embarrassed, a little embarrassed about what he secretly studied at home.
He Yilong said with a smile:
"It's good to study, what's embarrassing, in that case, I'll help you find a school, you don't have to worry about your mother, I'll go and talk to her." ”
Erya failed to continue studying, mainly because Xu Ying did not support it.
After Erya's father fell ill, the situation of their family was not very good, although Xiao Hongjun was the secretary of a village, but the countryside is the countryside, especially at this time, there is no financial source. Xu Ying asked Erya to help at home, after all, going to school is also an expense every year, and not going to school is the norm in Yuanhe Village, especially the female baby.
Xiao Hongjun said that Xu Ying's lack of knowledge is also partly due to this reason.
Later, Erya got used to staying at home, and he got older, and he got textbooks from He Yilong, so he didn't think about going to school anymore.
When He Yilong brought Erya to her aunt's house, Xu Ying was waiting outside with a woman in her thirties who looked a little similar to her, it was Erya's aunt Xu Hui. looks a few years older than Xu Ying, and is not as glamorous as Xu Ying, more like an ordinary housewife.
When Xu Hui saw Erya, the woman hugged Erya and asked for warmth, although she was not Erya's aunt, but she could see that the expression on her face was really loving Erya.
Xu Ying invited He Yilong to have dinner together, but He Yilong refused.
I have a good relationship with Erya, but I am not familiar with her relatives, and Erya has no father, as the saying goes, "there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow", I still have to pay attention, although I am only a high school student, but if there is really gossip, it is not a good thing after all.
He Yilong said hello and went back to school.
