On the first day of the first lunar month, heavy snowfall.

Pushing open the door, the snow on the ground has reached his knees, stepping on it, there is a soft feeling on the soles of his feet, accompanied by the continuous "rustling" sound, Yang Gang has walked out of the "Yizhuxuan" for a long time.

Looking at the white expanse in front of him, if it weren't for the traces of people and cars on the snow, Yang Gang really didn't know where to put his feet.

Even though it snowed heavily last night, it didn't seem to affect people's travel, but instead aroused their childhood instinct buried deep in their hearts, and they could enjoy the snow that they hadn't seen for many years while walking.

In addition, the relevant authorities have not issued any instructions to "prohibit vehicles from passing on snowy roads". Even so, it is still difficult for Yang Gang to see vehicles traveling in the snow on the street, and occasionally he sees one, which has been specially packaged (the tires of the car are installed with snow chains necessary for snow travel), which is said to effectively prevent skidding on the road surface in snow and increase the friction between the tire and the ground. Even so, the driver was still cautious, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally fall into the snowdrift.

When I woke up, the entire Dongshan City was shrouded in silver, and even the corners that were usually well armed by wanderers were now more or less glued with a few clear and translucent snowflakes.

This time he came out of "Yi Zhuxuan", after Yang Gang was fully armed, except for some daily necessities, he didn't bring anything, but just carried a backpack on his back very casually.

If you just see Yang Gang's back, you will largely think that he is a passer-by, and if you can go deep into his heart, you will know that this is actually his home.

Originally, he didn't plan to leave today, but after thinking about it all night, Yang Gang still decided to leave today. Mainly because the place he was going to had wanted to go to a long time ago, but he had been suffering from the fact that the matter of Dongshan had not yet come to an end, and he couldn't rest assured, and he dragged it out until now, which was still a decision that he made with a lot of determination.

But fortunately, he sent a message in the group, otherwise when they came together at the beginning of the New Year and didn't see anyone, they wouldn't be in a hurry!

......

After walking for almost three hours, Yang Gang finally got a car, and after the two sides negotiated the price, Yang Gang told the other party his destination this time.

"Young man, why do you want to go so far away when you are not at home with your family during the Chinese New Year?" The driver was a middle-aged uncle, and when he learned from Yang Gang where this young man was going, he asked casually.

Hearing the driver's question, Yang Gang just smiled at the other party and did not explain further to the other party.

Probably thinking that his question was a little unsuitable for young people, the driver continued: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to say, you are going to such a far place, this is the New Year, and it is snowing so much, I can't go that far." ”

"Oh, it's okay, you just need to send me to the train station, I'm sure the train will still be able to go by then." Regarding the situation that the driver said, Yang Gang had already expected it in his heart, such a heavy snow, if it was a bit difficult for people to run so far, and if something happened to the two people on the road, it would indeed be worth the loss for the driver.

"Hehe, there are really few sensible people like you now. The middle-aged driver sighed heartily in the rearview mirror.

"Actually, it's not easy for everyone, and it's not the same thing as being sensible. ”

......

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, the driver also sent Yang Gang to the designated place.

Whenever it comes to a certain day, those wanderers scattered all over the world always try their best to return to the place where they left to reunite with their families.

Although it was the first day of the Lunar New Year today, when Yang Gang came to the train station, he still saw a lot of people carrying large bags and small bags into the carriage.

It is likely that they will not be able to catch up with yesterday's train, so they have to get on today's bus. After all, if you have been away for a year or several years, whether you go back in Chinese New Year's Eve or not, you always have to go back.

During this time, your loved ones will always be waiting for you to go back.

Seeing the people who came and went like arrows, Yang Gang couldn't help but think of the nursery rhyme when he was a child: "Children, don't be greedy, it's the New Year after Laba." Laba porridge, drink it for a few days, and it will be twenty-three. Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky. Twenty-four, sweep the house. Twenty-five, grind tofu. Twenty-six, go buy meat. Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster. Twenty-eighth, put the face hair. Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns. Stay up for 30 nights, and walk all over the streets on the first and second days of the new year. “”

As long as you can get home and have a hot meal with your family, even if it is late, tiring, or far, it is worth it.

......

It may be that Yang Gang's thoughts went back to the situation when he was a child and celebrated the New Year with his family, and he fell asleep on the sleeper in the carriage.

Originally, Yang Gang wanted to take the high-speed rail to that place, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is no high-speed rail yet; besides, the speed of taking the high-speed rail is too fast, and you will miss many beautiful scenery along the way, so Yang Gang chose to take the general train, which can also be said to be the only choice. However, in order to make this journey not too boring, Yang Gang chose a sleeper, although the price is a little more expensive than the hard seat, but it is a bit insignificant for Yang Gang, the boss of the Yang Group in Dongshan City. To paraphrase a certain drama star, "It doesn't matter if you have more money or less, as long as you have fun." There is no greater sorrow in the world than - when people die, the money is still kept. ”

......

Maybe it was because he didn't sleep well last night, and when Yang Gang opened his eyes and looked at the environment in the carriage, the two people who lived with him before didn't know when one of them got off, and that person's position didn't know when it was occupied by another person.

Anyone who has ever worked on a train knows that the sleepers on the train have four beds, and they are arranged in the form of bunk beds on the left and right sides of the entrance.

Yang Gang's position is on the upper bunk on the right side of the door, and the lower bunk is the new one who came when Yang Gang was asleep, a middle-aged man who is not tall, but looks very sturdy, from his dark skin and thick calluses on his hands, Yang Gang can roughly guess that this is probably a perennial exposure to the sun, and engaged in manual labor.

The one on the lower bunk opposite was already here when Yang Gang got into the car. A thick down jacket wrapped him tightly, and a hand-woven woolen hat never left the top of his head. In addition, the scarf around his neck covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of hehe eyes; Yang Gang never heard him say a word from getting into the car until he was idle, if it wasn't for seeing and hearing him answer a phone call just now, Yang Gang would have thought that he was a person with a language barrier! But from his tone, Yang Gang also roughly determined the age of the other party.

Directly opposite is the person who got into the car with him and entered here together. From the moment he and Yang Gang walked into this train together, he began to talk to Yang Gang, and when he found that the seat with Yang Gang was face-to-face, his words did not stop, as if Yang Gang was his friend who had reunited after a long absence, completely ignoring the wishes of the other party, and only caring about himself talking happily. The first time he met such a person, it was not easy to disturb the other party's "Yaxing", and Yang Gang was speechless, but fortunately, Yang Gang used the wise saying that the junior high school teacher taught them in the hot classroom: the heart is calm and naturally cool. In the end, Yang Gang unexpectedly filtered out most of his language and slept until now. However, when Yang Gang looked at this young man in a suit now, he lost the momentum he had just now, and lay on the bed with a lazy look.

......

When a whistle sounded, the train slowly lowered its pace and stopped at a small stop.

Finally waited for the train to stop, Yang Gang jumped off the top with a very easy and elegant action, ready to go to a specific place to solve his own problems.

"Yo, buddy, I can't see that there are still two hits!" said the man in the suit with an admiring face.

"Not really, not really. Yang Gang replied lightly.

The middle-aged man also happened to wake up from the dream at this time, so Yang Gang's movements did not attract his attention. When Yang Gang jumped down and passed by the person who had just called, he saw that the other party's eyes glanced at him imperceptibly. Then naturally, he covered himself with the quilt.

......

In addition, it is now past 10 o'clock in the evening, and the train stops at this small station not only for passengers who want to get on and off here, but also to add some overnight necessities for those on the train who want to continue traveling.

Yang Gang naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so he stepped off the train and came to the vendor who was struggling to sell.

Strange to say, it was this time of night, and these people had no intention of going home, and when the train stopped, they all flocked to it, trying to persuade the people on and off the train to buy some and sell more generously...... In short, it is many times better than those who open their stores and wait for customers to deliver money to their doors.

Yang Gang is deeply aware of their behavior as a last resort for their livelihood, and if they were people from well-to-do families, how would they understand the difficulties of life. However, Yang Gang also knew that they were only doing this for a short time on the train, and when the train started, they had to go back to the side of the road, take out the stools they had prepared and wait for the next train to arrive, and then they repeated the words and actions of the previous train, day after day, year after year. In some of these families, two fathers and sons or two husbands and wives take turns working the day shift and the other working the night shift. It is conceivable that the hardships of the little people for a bite of food are paid.
