Volume 1: A Hundred Years of Love Chapter 64: Lotus Mountain
People can take a life photo for five yuan, and Wang Shiyi spent forty yuan!
Fortunately, he just paid the bonus that day, and his pocket was bulging, otherwise he would have died of heartache!
"Wang Shiyi, your eight big teeth are very beautiful!" On the way back, the cunning brother said while eating and laughing.
"It cost forty yuan, and I can't show a single tooth now, and I still have eight more!" If he hadn't handed over the money, he would have flashed a lot of money a long time ago! Forty yuan, and a little more money, he could make an album in another store!
"Take a look at the picture!" said Cunning with a smile.
Wang Shiyi took out one from the paper envelope and handed it over.
"Look at you! You're very handsome! With a fighter jet in your hand, it's like a big one!" The picture was taken well, and the cunning brother couldn't help but admire.
"If only there was such a in the photo, it would be great!" In real life, he is wearing a blue factory uniform.
"Wang Shiyi, do a good job! You will definitely have a chance, you have won the grand prize of 5,000 yuan, what is impossible?" the cunning brother patted him on the shoulder and said loudly.
As soon as he mentioned the 5,000 yuan jackpot, a burst of excitement was like an electric current, transmitted from his heart ventricles to all around, he felt trembling all over, clenched his fists tightly, and secretly encouraged himself in his heart: "Wang Shiyi, Shenzhen is full of opportunities, you must grasp it well, your future is not a game or a dream!"
Coming out of the photo studio, Wang Shiyi walked into the post office, hung up a courier, and mailed a photo of him to his mother.
At that time, mobile phones were not smart, and they could not video chat, and if there were smartphones, Wang Shiyi would not go to the photo studio to take pictures.
"After the mother receives the photo, she will be very happy, her son has a future in Shenzhen!" Wang Shiyi came out of the post office, full of spring breeze.
In April, the sun was a little hot at half past ten in the morning! The two went to a roadside shop and bought a bottle of carbonated drink to quench their thirst.
"Wang Shiyi, the decision made a few years ago seems to be right, you follow me out to work, this path is right!" said the cunning brother, shaking his lush hair.
"Well, Shenzhen is such a city, if you struggle, there will definitely be a return, and the return will exceed your expectations, far beyond your expectations!" Wang Shiyi nodded and sighed.
"Do you still regret the three hundred yuan, the three hundred yuan that was robbed by Hei Mo!" the cunning brother glanced at Wang Shiyi.
"Every road to success will have twists and turns, that's just a twist and turn!" A year ago, in order to prepare for the college entrance examination essay, Wang Shiyi often read some speculative texts, and also had a preliminary understanding of the relationship between success and failure.
"On the road ahead, there may be a lot of three hundred yuan to be robbed, you have to be prepared!"
"Suffer a loss, grow a trench! There will be no second three hundred yuan to be robbed!" Wang Shiyi said confidently.
The cunning brother is not wrong, Wang Shiyi is too optimistic, at the end of the year, Wang Shiyi packed up and went home in frustration!
The reality is so cruel!
The days of part-time work pass quickly, for Wang Shiyi, Jiang Lang is exhausted, and he has reached a dead end if he wants to improve efficiency through skill improvement, and he has no hope for the rankings, but piecework wages are linked to output, and they can't impact bonuses.
Sweat like a pig!
Every day is a new day, and every day is a repetitive life, in this busy day, who will take pity on themselves? Who has time to be sad?
No time for dating! No time for flirting!
They are nothing more than a bunch of workaholics, or rather a bunch of animals who have no emotions and can only work.
Once people have no emotion, life will pass quickly.
The first rays of sunshine in May 2000 soon shone on the land of Shenzhen, in the parks, on the streets, the bauhinia flowers are blooming beautifully, a breeze blows, shaking the slender branches of the green trees, the next petal rain, the ground is broken with thoughts.
At that time, May Day was definitely a golden holiday, and the state stipulated that there would be seven days off.
Early in the morning, Wang Shiyi and Brother Cunning squeezed the bus to Lianhuashan Park in Shenzhen, where Brother Cunning's cousin Jiang Qiuqiu and sister-in-law Jiang Xiu were waiting for them.
The sun in early summer is dazzling, the white flowers are shining on the cement floor, the air in the pass is obviously not as dirty as Shiyan, people can see the distance is very far, standing on the top of Lotus Mountain, a glance at the high-rise buildings of Shenzhen, Wang Shiyi was shocked, in his memory, Shenzhen is just Shiyan, he never thought that there would be so many magnificent buildings, they are like fingers growing on the earth, pointing straight to the sky.
"It's spectacular!" said the cunning brother, leaning against the rock fence at the top of the mountain.
"It's also the first time we've come here, inside and outside the gates. Jiang Qiuqiu said with emotion.
Jiang Xiu looked enviously at others kneeling and taking pictures with their cameras, at that time, mobile phones didn't even have the function of surfing the Internet, let alone taking pictures, going out to play, and posing for pictures was a very fashionable thing.
"I told you, come out to play, let you go to the photo studio to rent a camera, you just don't go, stingy, reluctant to spend those two dollars. Jiang Xiu looked displeased.
"Didn't I go to the photo studio to rent later?" Jiang Qiuqiu saw that his wife counted herself down in front of relatives and friends, and she couldn't hold her face, and she was a little impatient to speak.
"You went to rent it later, do they still have it? The camera has already been rented, I let you go a day in advance, and you pretend not to hear. Jiang Xiu saw that her man was ignoring him, and she became angry, and she spoke a little loudly.
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Jiang Qiuqiu looked like he was calm.
When she came down from Lotus Mountain, Jiang Xiu's expression was stiff, and her woman must have been angry.
In Jiang Qiuqiu's mind, the most romantic thing is to drink coffee, when he was in elementary school, he listened to Qianbaihui's "Walking Through the Coffee House", full of yearning for coffee, seeing his wife angry, Jiang Qiuqiu thought about how to please her.
Break the fee to invite her to a cup of coffee, women have vanity, drink a cup of coffee, you can definitely show off in the workshop all day!
At that time, drinking coffee was definitely a very luxurious thing, and women liked luxury in their hearts!
That's it!
Scatter a little silver to dissipate her anger!
After making up his mind, Jiang Qiuqiu said with a smile: "Wife, I will invite you to drink coffee at noon today to make up for your mistakes." ”
"Liar! Who still believes you. Jiang Xiu said coldly, after being married for so many years, this man has been squeezing his money to death, and he has to muttered for a long time to buy a dress for a hundred yuan, please have coffee today, and the sun will not come out of the west?
As they talked, they walked down the Lotus Mountain and came to the bustling civic center.
That's the forest of buildings!
It is a concentrated expression of the city's will to keep moving upward.
Before this, Jiang Qiuqiu had only heard that there were many skyscrapers here, and it was the world of the rich, and the reason why he chose to come here today was because of some simple and lovely ideas, that is, he wanted to see how big the difference between the prosperity he heard and the streets he saw with his eyes, and he wanted to see what the real rich people looked like and what kind of clothes they were wearing.
Yes, everything is beyond his imagination, this new city built with the magnificent imagination of many artists, has far exceeded the limits of his barren mind, whether it is the heroic spirit exuded by the municipal building where Dapeng spreads its wings, or the great beauty of the high-rise buildings on both sides, he is shocked, the sunlight cannot penetrate the forest of tall buildings decorated with glass curtain walls, he can only walk in their shadows.
The well-dressed and elegantly behaved person shook in front of his eyes, completely different from the migrant workers he had seen in Shiyan with mixed ingredients and vegetables.
When his son Yong Day's junior high school exam is over, he must be brought over to live for a while, and take him to the civic center to play, so that he can open his eyes and gain a long insight, thinking that he is thirty years old, or the first time he has seen the real prosperity of a big city, Jiang Qiuqiu can't help but shake his head.
If one day, when I walk through this place with my son Yongday, I must tell him, child, you must study hard, and in the future, you must go out of Chung Mountain, out of Chung Cheng, in such a tall building, work and live elegantly, and be a dignified person. Jiang Qiuqiu thought as he walked.
