Wang Qiang walked out of the hotel in the early morning, the sky was clear, the eastern sky was still full of clouds, the sun hid behind the clouds, sprinkling wisps of golden light, reflecting a crimson morning glow.

The sprinkler truck made the road wet, the water in the low-lying areas reflected the gray blue sky, the morning air was unusually fresh, Wang Qiang stretched his sore body after these busy days, and walked slowly towards the station.

Because the game room was going to open later, Wang Qiang refused Lao Zhu to send him to the station.

Actually, it's good to walk around.

In about fifteen minutes, I arrived at the bus station.

Ticket window.

Wang Qiang squeezed in, "Go to Jinghai Haitong." ”

Conductor: "Twenty. ”

Wang Qiang gave Zhang fifty.

The conductor gives tickets and change.

Looking at the time on the ticket, eight o'clock, there are still twenty minutes to check the ticket.

Wang Qiang came to the waiting room to wait, in the end it was an international metropolis, although it was early in the morning, but the waiting room was already crowded with noisy people, and there was no place to sit, so he simply stood at the No. 14 window and waited for the ticket inspection time.

Five minutes......

Ten minutes......

Fifteen minutes......

I don't know if it's because I'm in a particularly good mood, twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

"Haitong's ticket check, line up, come one by one. The ticket inspector shouted into the microphone.

He was the first.

After checking the ticket, he walked outside and got on the bus, because the suitcase contained money, Wang Qiang did not put the trunk, but carried it with him.

He looked at his outfit, and it was completely different from when he came. When I first came to Shanghai, the short-sleeved shirt on my body was still patched in the lower left corner, which looked very simple, and at this time, although the black jacket was not a famous brand, it looked already presentable, and the suitcase next to him had a trace of the demeanor of a successful person.

The bus started quickly.

He closed his eyes and took a nap, maybe he didn't sleep well last night, and after a while, he snored slightly and fell asleep.

……

"Minqiang Town has arrived. ”

A voice woke Wang Qiang from his sleep, and immediately opened his eyes to look out of the car window, the golden fields not far from the road were endless, and two rows of tiled houses stood on the north-south path.

Get out.

Wang Qiang greedily breathed the fresh air in the countryside, and then looked around, and suddenly sighed that the scenery of the countryside was refreshing.

Head north with your suitcase.

After walking a few steps, he saw a few ducks on the clear water of the river in front of him, playing happily, occasionally sticking their heads into the water to feed, or flapping their wings and making a "quacking" sound, even if someone was washing clothes on the riverbank, it could not stop their joy.

The sun-drenched river is swept by the breeze, and the sparkling water ripples.

What a nostalgia for country life.

Although he had only been away for fifteen days, Wang Qiang always felt as if a century had passed, perhaps because the scenery was fresh, and he suddenly felt refreshed when he just woke up.

It's getting closer to home.

After stepping on the old and weathered stone bridge, familiar faces of the villagers appeared.

The old bachelor at the head of the village saw Wang Qiang at first glance, and said, "Qiangzi?"

Wang Qiang looked over and said with a smile: "Uncle Miao is good." Then he took out Hongtashan from his watch pocket and sent one.

The old bachelor took the cigarette and teased: "Hongta Mountain, you kid has made a fortune outside? I heard that you bought new clothes for your grandparents, and your grandmother showed off several times in the village, saying that the second grandson is out of luck." ”

Because of the postal EMS used, so the speed is much faster than ordinary express, EMS refers to express parcels, Shanghai is only four hours away from Haitong plus ferry time, Wang Qiang estimated that he sent it out two days to get home.

Wang Qiang knows more about grandma's temperament, the little old lady wants to save face, no matter what her son and grandson have made some achievements, she will be proud of the people in the village for a while, and I still remember that when I was admitted to college, my grandmother almost didn't go to visit relatives and friends one by one.

After a few words with the old bachelor, Wang Qiang continued to walk in the direction of home.

It's noon, and the people in the village are probably busy with lunch, and there aren't many people.

When he walked to the vicinity of his home, Chen Maimai was sitting at the door eating with a rice bowl, and he saw Wang Qiang shouting from afar: "Qiangzi, are you back?"

Wang Qiang replied: "Hey, just came back, Mai Mai, where are you having lunch?"

"I heard your mother say that you went to Shanghai, how is the city?" Chen Maimai walked to the side of the road with a rice bowl, and said, "Look at your outfit, you are well dressed, you can't get it without a hundred yuan, right?"

Not only her, but many elderly people in the village have never left, especially middle-aged and elderly women, who have dedicated their lives to their families with their children to farming at home, and their grandchildren after taking care of their children and grandchildren.

"It's that expensive. Wang Qiang said with a smile.

"I heard your mother say that you made a lot of money outside?" Chen Maimai said enviously: "Your brother Jianming has just been admitted to college, and I don't know when I want to make money." "Jianming is her son, a few years older than Wang, so he has always called his brother.

Wang Qiang knew that his mother was proud of himself, so he showed off two sentences, this situation is very common in the countryside, but if someone asks her to take some money out, her mother will never take half a cent out, as said before, no matter how fierce the boast is, the real money will not be exposed, one is afraid that there will be thieves, and the other is that some relatives know that your family is really rich and will try their best to borrow money.

If there is really something urgent to borrow, it is nothing, but some relatives are not like this, if Wang Qiang's second-rate cousin never pays back the borrowed money, it is not an exaggeration to borrow a sentence on the Internet later: Why should you pay back the money borrowed by ability?

If you don't borrow this kind of person, you will talk nonsense behind your back, borrow it, and you won't be able to get it back, so it's good if your wealth is not exposed.

……

The door was open.

The smell of burnt firewood coming over in bursts.

Crossing the threshold, Wang Qiang walked into the quiet room and caught a glimpse of his mother sitting behind the stove and lighting the fire.

At that moment, the long-lost warmth suddenly surged up from the bottom of his heart, and his mother, who had not seen him for many days, seemed to have lost a lot of weight, at this time, he didn't know what to say, and his hot thoughts overflowed the entire living room like water breaking the embankment, and finally just shouted softly, "Mom, I'm back." ”

"Qiangzi!" The mother raised her head suddenly, stood up happily, her eyes moistened slightly, and said, "It's good to come back safely, it's good to come back." "The son who hasn't left his side for seventeen years has been gone for half a month, how can Cheng Lin, who is a mother, not be afraid, and now she is very excited to see her son intact in front of her.

Wang Qiang was also very excited, but he was not very good at expressing emotions, so he just said, "I'll help you light the fire." ”

The mother wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Wearing it so well and burning the fire is all dirty, you sit, I will burn the fire." ”

Wang Qiang said funny: "Then I'll go in and change into old clothes." ”

The mother, who was originally a little sad, sneered, "I've only heard of visiting relatives to change new clothes, how can anyone change clothes specifically for the sake of the fire?"

In the end, his mother still couldn't resist him, so she had to let her son burn the fire.

Rolling up his sleeves, Wang Qiang sat behind the earthen stove and stuffed firewood, his mood had calmed down a lot, and asked, "How is your home?"

"It's ok. The mother chattered: "Recently, there was no fish in the river, so I simply stopped, and it happened that Junjun's child started school, so I asked Lu Wei not to use it." She snorted, "You say it's not evil, you catch a cage of fish when you're at home, why can't I get it?"

Wang Qiang asked, "Did you not put fish food?"

The mother was stunned, then smiled and said, "I don't know that." ”

The two chatted casually, and Wang Qiang heard her love for Lu Junjun from her mother's voice, maybe this girl had a sweeter mouth, of course, she also praised Lu Wei, saying that the young man was loyal and honest.

He just listened quietly, showing a smile from time to time, he agreed with Lu Wei before he gave seventy-five, and seventy-five was sent over tonight, and he was trustworthy, and Lu Wei did help a lot.

Suddenly, my mother said, "School starts tomorrow, do you think you're ready to go to school?"

Wang Qiang was stunned and said, "Didn't I tell you not to go to school?"

The mother sighed and said seriously: "You told me that I don't go to school if I earn 10,000 yuan a month in half a month, and if I don't earn it, of course I have to go to school." From the beginning of promising her son to the present, she never thought that she could earn 10,000 yuan in half a month, and the reason why she agreed was to make her son die.

Wang Qiang's father worked hard for a year without eating or drinking to earn more than 3,000 yuan, which is still hard-earned money earned by selling coolies, not to mention that Cheng Lin didn't believe that his son could earn 10,000 yuan in half a month, even if he said it to anyone in the village, no one believed that a seventeen-year-old young man could earn 10,000 yuan in a short period of time, so she had a showdown with her son now, and it was time to go to school.

But Wang Qiang's next sentence made her stunned.

"Who said I didn't make it?" Wang Qiang smiled and pointed to the suitcase, "The money is wrapped in a plastic bag in the compartment inside, you count." ”

The mother opened the suitcase in disbelief, found the plastic bag from the inside, and just opened a corner she saw a dense blue hundred-dollar bill, and immediately closed it again, and then hurriedly walked to the door and closed the door, and then returned to the four immortals table, and took out the money with a slight trembling hand and counted it.

"One...... Five...... Seventeen......"

The more she counted, the more red her face became, as if she had drunk alcohol, and in the end, her tone was trembling, and after a long while, her mother finally finished counting, twelve thousand eight, no more than one point, no less, she looked at her son in surprise, "You really earned it?"

Wang Qiang hummed very calmly, "Mom, now I don't have to go to school, right?"

The mother was silent.

She didn't know what else to say.

When Wang Qiang offered to earn 10,000 yuan in half a month, as a mother, she played a little scheming and deliberately agreed, she never thought about the possibility of success, but now, one hundred and twenty-eight blue flower tickets are in front of her, and it turns out that her son has indeed done it.

Two thousand eight when I left.

When I came back, it was twelve thousand eight.

During this period, she also bought clothes for her and the elderly, plus the expenses for eating out, which means that her son earns far more than that, Cheng Lin can no longer describe her complicated mood at this time.

She didn't speak, and Wang Qiang wasn't in a hurry, just waited quietly.

After a long time, the mother let out a long sigh, "Alas. ”

Wang Qiang is a little struggling in his heart, so far his mother has not expressed his position, if he still wants to go to school by himself, what should he do?

"You've really grown up. The mother said this again, with relief and inexplicable loss in her eyes, and said with a wry smile: "If you don't want to go to school, don't go, but don't forget that you still have to go to the exam, and if you don't get good grades, you still have to go back to school." She said bitterly, "Going to school is not just about letting you find a good job and how much money you will earn after you leave society, but about letting you learn more things, you may lose money in business, and you will not be afraid of having nothing to eat for a lifetime, do you understand what I mean?"

How could Wang Qiang, who had been in kindergarten for a total of seventeen years in his last life, have no goods in his stomach, he has learned everything he should have learned, maybe a lot of knowledge has been forgotten after being out of society, but as long as he reviews and reviews, he can remember it again, to be honest, there is really nothing good to learn, or there is no need to go to high school.

As for the university, Wang Qiang thinks that a diploma is still required, even if he becomes a businessman in the future, he can make people take a look at it more if he has a high diploma, and a businessman without a degree is likely to be called a nouveau riche, but a learned businessman is highly evaluated by others - Confucian businessman.

Since ancient times, China has governed the country with culture, and people with academic qualifications and those without academic qualifications are completely different in the eyes of others, and this academic qualification sometimes only needs a diploma to recognize.

He has already planned for the future, three years while making money while reviewing the knowledge he once had forgotten, and then taking the entrance examination to a good university, college life is relatively loose, basically not much will hinder himself from making money, this is the only way to get the best of both worlds at present.

Anyway.

My mother agreed not to go to school.

Wang Qiang finally got a satisfactory answer through half a month of hard work, and at the same time he knew that even if he went to college in the future, he would be ahead of his peers.

Wang Qiang firmly believes that he will get better and better.

Even if there are only more than 10,000 assets in total, and you still have to repay your debts, it is already a good start.

He knows that he still has a long way to go, and he is just getting started, so he can keep a normal mind and continue to work hard, and he can't waste the golden time of development.
