In the middle of March, the spring rain continued.
Xiayu District, Futian County, Linzhou.
Tomita produces coal, and Xiayu is close to the mines, which used to be a small ravine, but since the discovery of a large coal mine, it has gradually become a small city and the streets have flourished.
Parks, schools, family areas, shops, dance halls, derailment experience stores, hotels, you can find them everywhere.
On the streets of Ha Yu District, there is a small noodle shop.
The store is not large, more than twenty square meters, seven or eight tables.
There is only one proprietress in the store, Sister Song, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl who works as a waiter.
Sister Song is a native of Xishan, making good noodles, oily skin noodles, Zangzi noodles, beef and mutton noodles, trouser noodles, and no less than 16 or 7 kinds of pasta dishes, which are famous far and wide.
Anyone who likes to eat noodles will come here, and the mine has the most people, because Sister Song's husband is the squad leader of the mine excavation team, and everyone is an old acquaintance.
"Sister Song, let's have a bowl of noodles!"
Gu Meng stayed at home for two days, and suddenly remembered the past in the mine, tossing and turning.
Taking advantage of the spring rain in the past two days, he simply came here alone, ate a bowl of noodles that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and met people he hadn't seen for many years.
"Come on!"
At noon, there were no customers in the store, and the proprietress Sister Song was settling accounts in the room, when she heard someone outside the door greeting, calling 'Sister Song', which was hot, and only acquaintances in the mine called it that.
She thought it was an acquaintance, but when she went out, she saw that the person who came was a tall stranger, who looked not very old, but his demeanor was very steady, with a big-rimmed glasses, and he was dressed ordinarily, but she always felt that this person was not simple, and she couldn't say it well.
"Big... Big brother, big bowl and small bowl?"
Sister Song rubbed her hands and asked a little restrainedly.
Gu Meng looked at the woman and grinned, "Big bowl, add more chili peppers!"
"Okay, big brother, wait a minute!"
Sister Song washed her hands, filled a bowl of noodle soup, and wore an apron to knead the dough on the board of the hall.
She rubbed it vigorously, accompanied by a creaking sound.
Gu Meng took a sip of the noodle soup, and couldn't help but look at the woman who was kneading the noodles.
Sister Song, Chinese New Year's Eve six today, looks average, but her skin is very white, plump before and after, like the dough in her hand.
In his previous life, Gu Meng came to the mine, and Liu Kaihan, a man who followed Song's sister-in-law, became an apprentice, digging coal in the coal well, and lived a hard life haha, the daily fun was to take a bath in the bathhouse, brag to a group of workers about women, and then come to Song's sister-in-law's shop to eat noodles.
Later, he got acquainted, he moved over directly, lived next to it, worked three shifts in the mine on weekdays, and on days when he didn't go down the mine, he was the second boy in the store.
Sister Song has a gentle personality and knows hot and cold, and is very good at hurting people, treating him like a younger brother.
Gu Meng was very envious of Liu Kaihan, the master who dug coal, for having a virtuous and good woman.
He admired a woman like Sister Song, but he didn't do anything excessive.
It wasn't until the autumn of '89 that a mining accident occurred at the mine.
The Tomita Coal Mine is not a serious national mine, but a private coal mine contracted by the county government and businessmen.
Coal bosses are reluctant to invest more, the equipment in the mine is extremely rudimentary, and safety work is not in place.
In the autumn of that year, the cannon was fired in the mine, and it was fine, but after half a day, the mine suddenly collapsed until it reached the wellhead, and more than 10 people in two classes of the excavation team were buried underneath.
Gu Meng and Liu Kaihan were both buried under the mine.
Gu Meng was lucky at that time, he ran fast with long legs, and when the mine collapsed, he hid in the cage of the elevator at an astonishing speed and survived, only injuring half of the ball of his foot.
Not dead, but life is not easy.
Generally, there is a large-scale accident in the mine, and the government and coal bosses are worried that the matter will spread out, and most of them hide it and do not report it. Generally speaking, it can't be saved, from the ground to the bottom of the mine more than 20 meters, there is no large machinery in the private coal mine, and when it reaches the bottom of the well, it will take at least more than ten days, and people will die early.
In the national mine, the resettlement fee for one person in the nineties was about eighty thousand.
Private coal mines, if it is not spread out, the family members are about private, less than 5,000 per person, and the family members dare to make trouble, they will make trouble, and they dare not make trouble, and they will send the incident away by one or two thousand.
After the accident in the mine, he called for help for a day, but there was no response.
He knew he was probably done.
This time the matter is too big, with the discipline of the coal boss, he will definitely not start the rescue, and there is no one in his family, and he will not even be compensated for a dime if he dies.
Tick ~ tick ~ He listened to the sound of dripping water in the mine, and he was about to go crazy with grievances, he shouted and cursed, scolded the Zhao family and scolded everyone.
Until he hit his head on a stone and fainted.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he woke up hungry and miraculously found that he was not dead.
He had to lament the cruelty of God.
It banishes a man with a grudge in the darkness of the earth, and gives him tenacious vitality, watching him go crazy, die a little bit, starve to death, freeze to death, commit suicide?
He curled up in the dark, cold and oxygen-deprived underground, looking at the position above his head, only to realize that it was so luxurious to be able to see the sun more.
When he was about to die, he surrendered to everything, to heaven to the enemy, to everything.
As long as he doesn't die, he is willing to live in secret, and he is willing to forgive everything.
He lay in the cage of the elevator, squinting at the mouth of the well, which was blocked by stones, imagining that it was a night sky, where the stars were shining and the imagination was so beautiful.
The sun and moon were unknown in the cave, and just before he was about to die, there seemed to be a rumbling sound in his ears, and stars, moons, and even the sun seemed to shine in the sky above him.
There was also a woman with a megaphone shouting:
"Is anyone still alive?"
"Liu Kaihan!"
"Gu Meng!"
Faintly, he heard someone calling his name.
In that moment, he cried.
In this world, I have no relatives, and no one cares about my life or death, so there are still people who call me at this time?
He could hear it, it was Sister Song's voice.
He lay on the ground, trying to respond loudly, but everything was powerless.
muttered, 'I'm in... I'm...', fainted.
After waking up, the first person he saw in the hospital was Sister Song.
When he took his first sip of noodle soup, he knew he was alive again.
Afterwards, he inquired, at that time, the mine was not ready to save people, there were no twelve people, at most 60,000 accounts, if the matter is big, it is difficult to suppress it without hundreds of thousands, and in addition, it will involve the official, and the impact will be even worse.
It's just that after the mining accident, Sister Song instigated a group of family members to make trouble, and asked the miners to save people out of her own pocket.
On the sixth day, Gu Meng was rescued from the bottom of the well, and there were two survivors in addition to him, and the mine paid more than 30,000 yuan in compensation for this.
He was alive and disabled, and his life was very decadent, but with the help of Sister Song, he regained his strength and learned to repair shoes from the hearts of the people.
Sister Song is his benefactor.
"Big brother, the face is ready!"
Just thinking about it, Sister Song walked over with a bowl of noodles and a smile.
Gu Meng was stunned for a moment, took the noodles with both hands and smelled them, and said with a smile, "Sister Song, the noodles you make are really fragrant, even more fragrant than the noodles made by the imperial chef!"
"Haha, big brother, you are so boastful, I can only make home-cooked noodles, how dare I compare with the imperial chef"
"Home-cooked is the best!"
Gu Meng picked a chopstick, smelling the fragrance of the previous life, there was a feeling of traveling through time, and his soul couldn't help but tremble.
"Haha, big brother, you are really good at talking, you said that my noodles are better than the imperial kitchen, could it be that you have also eaten the noodles made by the imperial kitchen?" Sister Song quipped.
Gu Meng smiled, "I've really eaten this a few times!"
When ordinary people are talking, Sister Song must have smacked him in the face, but the man in front of him is very different.
Listening to his words and observing his deeds, he naturally exudes the momentum of a big man.
Sister Song felt that it was true.
"Big brother, where are you from?"
She asked tentatively.
"Green Ridge Man"
Gu Meng laughed.
"Yo, Green Ridge, it's a good place, all of them are millionaires, I went to travel with my boy and my boy to your last year, that place, tsk, it's really good."
Sister Song is very envious, or there is no one who has been to Green Ridge who is not envious.
Green Ridge has the best schools, the best hospitals, the best roads, and the best role models in the area.
It is rumored that everyone there is rich, everyone lives in a small bungalow, and everyone has a formal job.
It was a demonstration site of a small communist village established by the state.
Everyone wants to be a Green Ridge person, but unfortunately they can't be born in Green Ridge.
"Haha, it's true that everyone in Green Ridge has a few dollars in their hands, it's impossible for everyone to be millionaires, and now there are no 10,000 millionaires in the whole country."
In the past, the people of Luling followed Gu Meng to make a fortune by planting gastrodia, and now they are following pig raising and working in the feed factory, most of them have solved the basic problems of clothing, food, housing and transportation.
"But you Green Ridge people are arrogant, wearing Western clothes and living in Western-style buildings in and out of the car, tsk, what a good day, it's a pity that we don't have a Gu Superman in Futian"
Speaking of this, Sister Song paused, "Big brother, do you know Gu Chaoren?"
Gu Meng smiled, "Yes, I am friends with Gu Chaoren"
"Oh, yes, big brother, can you tell me about Gu Chaoren?" Sister Song said curiously.
"Haha, what are you talking about?"
"I heard that Gu Chaoren has more than a dozen wives, right?"
"Uh... No, barely ten!"
"That's amazing, I heard that he has dozens of children, is it true?"
"No, there are only nine now, and there will probably be so many in the future!"
"Tsk, that's amazing, I also heard that Gu Chaoren is very rich, he is the richest man in our country, do you know how much money he has?"
Gu Meng thought for a moment, "His savings, company, shares, antiques and other messy things are counted together, there are probably more than 26 billion."
"Hiss~~"
Sister Song gasped, "26 billion? Twenty yuan per person in the whole country, and he can't get it all, he is richer than Shen Wanshan, right?"
"Haha, no, Shen Wanshan's family property is at least a trillion now, and Gu Meng still can't compare" Gu Meng smiled.
"That's still very powerful, Gu Chaoren is only 26 years old this year, this is simply the God of Wealth, last time I went on a trip with my man, I heard the people of Green Ridge say, when Gu Chaoren was born, the God of Wealth appeared, the golden light filled the sky, and many square hole gold coins fell from the sky..."
"Uh, no, no, it's all rumors, I can't believe it, that's a lie"
Gu Meng touched his forehead, he was really sweating.
"Is it a lie?"
Sister Song was puzzled, "I heard from the people in your town that when Gu Meng was born, the situation was not good, and Gu Chaoren and his grandfather hid all the money and buried it in the wall.
At that time, many people knew that the Gu family had treasures, and I heard that Gu Chaoren's grandfather was rectified because of this incident.
In 85, Gu Chaoren asked his grandfather to pass on the dream, knowing that the money was hidden in the wall, so he smashed the wall in front of the whole town and dug up a large box of money.
To say that Gu Chaoren is really a good person, he is not greedy when he gets the money, and he actually donated it all to the town..."
Gu Meng listened to the legend about himself, he couldn't cry or laugh, the matter of the Gu family's treasure was spread with this kind of story, and it was also mythical, this story was three points true and seven points false, and it was really difficult to refute.
"I also heard that Gu Chaoren is not only the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, but also the reincarnation of Wuqu Xingjun and Wenqu Xingjun, he is the top student in our Linzhou region in the college entrance examination, Hanjing college student, he has won so many gold medals in the Olympic Games, it can be regarded as a great glory for our country, Gu Chao is both humanistic and martial, and he will earn money and donate so much money to the country, he must be the reincarnation of the gods.
Big brother, did you say yes?"
Sister Song asked seriously.
Gu Meng tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Maybe!"
"Smack!"
Sister Song patted her thigh and said, "I also think so, I also heard that Gu Chaoren went home before, and the people in Luling Town brought their children to Gu's house to ask him for blessings, and I heard that those children became very smart and good at reading, and many of them were admitted to college."
Tsk, I don't know when Gu Chaoren will come back, if he can touch my doll's head and bless my doll. ”
Gu Meng was embarrassed, buried his head in eating noodles, he did hold a head-touching ceremony for the children before, but the children can read and have a good time, which has little to do with blessings, the reason why they are good is that the people's living standards have improved, and the education level in the town has improved, and a small part of the reason may be inspired by the example.
"Big Brother"
Sister Song was silent for a moment and said, "Big brother, do you really know Gu Chaoren?"
Gu Meng grinned, "I really know, I'm working for Gu Meng."
Sister Song looked at him, tall and strong, thinking that he might be Gu Meng's bodyguard.
"Big... Big brother, are you enough? I'm going to give you two bowls?"
"Enough is enough, Sister Song, your bowl is big, enough to eat"
This is the truth, Sister Song's bowl is bigger than her head, and a bowl with soup and noodles can have two catties.
"Big... Big brother, can you please do me a favor?"
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Gu Meng wondered.
"Big brother, when will Gu Chaoren come back, can you ask him to bless my doll? I'm willing to give money!"
"Well, this... The blessing is a feudal superstition, you can't believe it, right?"
"This is true, now many people want to ask Gu Chaoren for blessings, but Gu Chaoren has never come back... Big brother, how much do you say it costs for Gu Chaoren to bless once?"
"This... Gu Meng, he is not short of money"
"Yes"
Seeing that the woman was disappointed, Gu Meng smiled, "Okay, Sister Song, when Gu Meng comes back, I'll ask you?"
"Oh, that's a good dare! Big brother, there's still noodles on the board, I'll give you another bowl"
Without waiting for Gu Meng to say, Sister Song happily took his bowl into the kitchen, and after a while, brought another bowl full of noodles with a thick layer of lean meat.
Gu Meng was speechless, this woman is really easy to deceive, aren't you afraid that she will lie and deceive her?
Sister Song is really not worried, just now she saw a car parked at the door, which was worse than the county government's and magnificent, and still hung a license plate in the capital, such a person would cheat a bowl of noodles?
After eating the noodles, Gu Meng began to do business, "Sister Song, I heard that you have an old object at home, can you take it out for me to see?"
"Ah, how do you know?" Sister Song said in surprise.
"Haha, that's what I do, I heard about it from others"
"That's... That's fine!"
Sister Song hesitated and took out an old bowl from home, "Someone used to say that I was an old object, give me five... I want to buy a thousand pieces, I didn't agree, big brother, as long as you can help me ask about the blessing of the doll."
She gritted her teeth, "How about I give you this bowl?"
"No, no, no!"
He took the bowl and looked at it, shaking his head.
"What's wrong? Isn't it enough?"
"No, Sister Song, you are a bowl from the Song Dynasty, that is, a bowl from more than a thousand years ago, at least worth this number"
He raised his index finger.
"How much? a thousand?"
"No!"
"How much is that?"
Gu Meng said seriously, "One hundred thousand!"
"So much?"
Sister Song took it back and looked at it carefully.
"Sister Song, I want to buy your bowl, what's the matter?"
"It's... It's too big, I'm going to wait for my man to come back."
"Okay!"
Waiting until three o'clock in the afternoon, Sister Song's man Liu Kaihan came back, and heard that Gu Meng spent 100,000 yuan to buy a broken bowl, thinking that he was a fool or a cheat.
Gu Meng didn't say a word, and took out ten hundred-yuan bills from his bag.
"This..."
Liu Kaihan still sold it.
Gu Meng got into the car with a broken bowl, accidentally fell, he didn't pick it up, and drove away from Futian.
Only Sister Song and Liu Kaihan were left looking at him like fools.
What's wrong with this?
Until many days later, they watched the movie
