Chapter 9 When I am a man, it is only three hours
There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, even if it is a brother, it is inevitable that you will encounter a sad scene of going your own way.
One of the three brothers of the Li family went to the Pearl River Delta, and the other went straight to his hometown in the Northeast, leaving Li Yundao alone and going to the Yangtze River Delta.
Huiyou is a car that gets off in a small town called Siping in the middle of the country. Siping seems to be taken from the righteousness of Siping and Eight Stability. This word reminded the two brothers of the same person: Bow Horn. Although the honest man who only knows how to smirk has not made any great achievements at present, in the minds of these two younger brothers, the eldest brother's bow horn is like Mount Tai, even if this man with black and green hair is more bewitching than a woman can be described as both civil and military, but it does not affect the position of the honest man in the hearts of the two younger brothers.
This is also why there are words like "two me and two San'er, neither of them are necessarily worth a Li Gongjiao" in Huiyou's mouth
It seems that this is the only central town where you can buy a train ticket to the three eastern provinces.
When buying the ticket, Hui You insisted on buying a hard seat, but Li Yundao still stubbornly spent nearly 500 yuan to buy a soft sleeper from Siping to Heilongjiang, pinching the train ticket that was less than the size of a palm, Li Yundao only felt that his palms were constantly sweating - it seemed that this was the biggest expense he had spent in his life. It's just that if this money is spent on himself, he will definitely feel heartache, but when it is spent on Huiyou's body, he is as comfortable as digging out a high-grade jade.
Although Li Yundao had long guessed that there would be a moment of parting, he did not expect this moment to come so early. When he stuffed the train ticket into Hui You's hand, he finally broke the silence that Shen had been silent for a long time.
"Why don't you go to the Yangtze River Delta with me and then go back to the Northeast?" Li Yundao has never written his thoughts on his face, even if he keeps his words, it seems a little stiff.
Hui You, who had long green hair, chuckled and shook his head, originally he was a person who didn't talk much, but he just glanced at the freight train whistling away, and turned around and said, "I think it's better to go directly." I have too much powder and fat on my body for no reason, in fact, I often slander my parents, how can I be born like a woman? Or go directly to the northeast to go around, so as to be contaminated with some fierce folk customs. ”
Li Yundao didn't know at this time that what Hui You said was actually just a joke, because even if it was such a man who looked even more bewitching than a woman, the blood of the men of the Li family flowed in his bones, so he would have the common backbone of the men of the Li family. Take another 10,000 steps back, put Huiyou in the metropolis, and the rich girl who pursues him must at least be counted in terms of beating.
Li Yundao inserted his hands into Huiyou's green silk as usual, and ravaged the originally smooth black and green silk like a weed before he was willing to stop, this scene saw the tall and fat on the side trembling: In this world, I am afraid that there is only one person in the Li family, who can be so presumptuous to this man who is enough to look down on the world. Gao Pang had seen the scene of the bewitching man dealing with the wild yak empty-handed, so he subconsciously always kept a certain distance from Hui You, one was the creature's self-preservation instinct, and the other was that he felt that only in this way could he show his enough respect for that man.
"The next time I see you, I'd better cut this long hair. The masters of the Li family, you have to look like a man!"
Hui You cut his long hair aggrievedly and muttered a few words in a low voice, but Li Yundao would never hear this sentence, but this did not mean that he didn't know that Hui You's long hair was not his own preference at all, he just wanted to save the money for a haircut and buy him a few more financial magazines that the people of Liushui Village had never seen in his life.
Li Yundao's heart is as clear as a mirror: this brother, who has the ability to be both civil and military, has been with him for more than 20 years.
When Huiyou got on the train, Shili Gyatso, who had been held in his hand by Li Yundao for a long time, finally let go of his throat and cried. Indeed, no matter how much he sees through life, in the final analysis, he is still just a six-year-old child. It seemed that Shili, who was dressed in a crimson lama robe, was crying so hard that Li Yundao couldn't bear it. Although they are commensurate with each other, the three brothers regard Shili as their son in their hearts.
When the train started, the emblem through the glass ran to the hard-seat car to smile and wave.
Li Yundao followed the northbound train from one end of the platform to the other, and Hui You ran from one end of the train to the other, and it was not until both sides became a small black dot in the distance that they reacted.
Li Yundao suddenly felt a little chilly on his back: the two huge wings that had sheltered him for more than 20 years had finally disappeared at this moment, and from now on, he had to start facing his life, even if it was just a bleak life.
When I walked back from the end of the platform, it was just when the sun was setting like blood.
The sunset is like blood!
Sitting on the platform smoking a branch of "Red Tower Mountain", the tall fat squinted his eyes and looked at the rickety figure slowly moving at the end of the platform, the setting sun left a circle of reddish light around the outline, coupled with a little lama with pear blossoms and rain on the face of the mouth chanting the Heart Sutra, forming an extremely strange and beautiful picture.
Gao Pang, who hadn't read a book for a few days, threw the cigarette he lit on the ground, stepped on it fiercely, and scolded in a low voice: "Grandma, why don't you read more books? What a beautiful painting, Lao Tzu can't think of half a literary word to describe it!"
Next, the driver changed to Gao Fat, and the highway was much easier to drive.
When he entered the Anhui boundary, Li Yundao couldn't sleep anymore.
The future, for him, is like a huge black curtain, waiting for him to lift, but behind this black curtain, whether it is brilliant or ups and downs, these are all unknowns.
I don't know when, the sky has begun to brighten, and the morning glow on the eastern horizon begins to diffuse with new vitality.
"Brother Yundao, I'm going straight to Suzhou this time, which city do you think I want to go to? The cities in the Yangtze River Delta are almost the same, and after so many trips, I still think that the antique Suzhou City gives me the best impression. ”
Li Yundao looked out the window: "Suzhou is very close to Shanghai and Nanjing, so let's go to Suzhou first!"
"Have you figured out what you want to do? If you don't have any work to do, I know a few people in Suzhou, but those jobs are a little harder and more tired, and I'm afraid that Brother Yundao will dislike you. "Gao Pang is a warm-hearted person at this point, and he can be regarded as half a fellow countryman.
"Okay, anything, as long as I and Shili don't go hungry, I don't want to eat a fat man in one bite. Compared with the college graduates in the society who are eager to climb to the position of general manager and chairman just after graduation, Li Yundao, who has never gone to school but has read the classics, can better understand the truth that "everything is not done quickly, and it is better to figure it slowly".
The wooden saw rope is broken, and the dripping water pierces the stone. Li Yundao, who is familiar with the subset of scriptures and history, knows this principle deeply, and naturally he will not be like many college graduates in society, who just walked out of the school gate, and couldn't wait to drive a BMW Mercedes-Benz in the top position. Compared with the undergraduates and graduate students who have been influenced by many expectations, Li Yundao, a Diao Min who ran out of the ravines of Kunlun, although he has read poetry and books, and knows a little about astronomy and geography, his living environment determines that his experience and vision are far inferior to those of young people of the same age.
Li Yundao knew this, so when he decided to leave Kunlun Mountain and go out for a while, he had already made a plan for himself to "make up for the lesson".
Although in terms of force, he is definitely not able to catch up with half of Li Gongjiao, and he is definitely inferior to Li Huiyou, but if he doesn't talk about martial arts alone, whether it is Gongjiao or Huiyou, he is willing to bow down. It's just that Li Yundao, who keeps reading magazines every month, will not know that in today's society where morality is degraded and money worship is rampant, a belly of poetry, books, and etiquette naturally can't keep up with the rhythm and pace of the times. Li Yundao, who has been an orphan since he was sensible, will not be as cynical as a group of college students, eager to revolutionize every day, Li Yundao understands the law of the jungle of survival of the fittest quite thoroughly, it is as if he followed the bow horn to hunt in the mountains, if you can't be ruthless to the wolf with green eyes, the final outcome can only be a good meal in the other party's mouth.
Therefore, Li Yundao gave himself half a year to "make up" the previous 20 years of missing, for him who is already in his early twenties, half a year is already very luxurious.
Luxury is luxury, but things still have to be done one by one, and life still has to go step by step.
Dressed in a white-washed navy blue khaki tunic tunic Li Yundao always looks a little out of the crowd in this modern city, and even sitting next to a group of shirtless migrant workers from other places, Li Yundao seems to be a little out of tune.
This is called the two are not touched, and Li Yundao sometimes involuntarily laughs at himself. The "bitterness" in Gao Fat's mouth is indeed quite bitter for ordinary people, not to mention the danger on the construction site, the environment is still poor, the food and accommodation are not good, eighty yuan a day, at least twelve hours a day. However, this seems to be a bit tiring enough to choke in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of this Diao people who ran out of the mountains, it is a relaxed and happy thing, no matter how dangerous it is, it is also dangerous to run to the cliff to pick jade, right? No matter how bad the environment is, it can be worse than the ravine?
Working for 30 days a month is more than 2,000, and it doesn't cost money to eat and live, and the more than 2,000 earned every month is basically pure savings. In the past two months, Li Yundao has saved more than 4,000 yuan. Others are getting darker and darker the driest on the construction site, but Li Yundao, who has no plateau ultraviolet rays, is very different from ordinary people, getting whiter and more tender.
At night, a group of young people on the construction site will get together after taking a bath, chatting and gambling, every time at this time, Li Yundao will borrow the old second-hand bicycle of Lao Li who got out of bed, and sneak out of the temporary living shed behind the construction site without saying a word.
Learning to ride a bicycle, Li Yundao spent three nights, stunned Lao Li's bicycle that had passed its useful life and fell into human shape, Lao Li's car himself usually does not ride, even if it is broken, he may not be able to see it, but in the end Li Yundao still spent twenty-five yuan, and asked the roadside car repair master to repair it. This is the first money that Li Yundao spent in two months of construction site life.
The tall and fat "friend" is a builder who drives a Mercedes-Benz, and there are countless foremen under him, and it is just a matter of one sentence to arrange a construction worker like Li Yundao without any experience. The builder, surnamed Zhu, has contracted about four high-rise buildings in a mid-range development project in Jinji Lake, one of which contains Mr. Li's work over the past two months.
The construction site is on the shore of Jinji Lake, where the land price is extremely high today, but two completely different worlds have formed inside and outside the construction site.
The dust in the construction site is monstrous, often reach out and not see the five fingers, a group of mostly primary school culture, dozens of migrant workers with a mouth of the mouth of the land crowded a small shed, the early autumn on the east coast, but the weather is the hottest time, dozens of big men squeezed a shed, the scene inside can be imagined, the smell is enough to stun people outside the construction site, even the last time the builder surnamed Liu accidentally broke in, even scolded "how can the toilet on the construction site be so smelly." ”
Outside the construction site, however, there is a different world. Li Yundao's reading habits have not changed since he was a child, even if he came to Suzhou alone. Recently, Suzhou Industrial Park is celebrating its 15th anniversary, and the large and small posters, anti-aircraft guns, and outdoor electronic screens in the park are overwhelmingly filled with image advertisements of the park government. Li Yundao specially spent five cents to buy one, and several full-page special issues also saved Li Yundao a lot of effort in collecting materials.
According to the newspaper, in the early 90s of the last century, the Suzhou Municipal Government joined hands with the Singapore Government to re-plan the eastern area of Suzhou in accordance with the model of the Lion City, and attracted foreign investment to develop high-tech through Guò, after more than 10 years of development, today's industrial park has long been insulated from the word "industry" in the external image, and its overall supporting facilities and hardware facilities are no less than those of foreign first-class cities. Because of this, today's industrial park has also become the highland of housing prices in Suzhou, and countless real estate development predators have poured in, housing prices have been higher than one round, and luxury houses with a unit price of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan per square meter are also common.
Around Jinji Lake, it seems that a rich living circle that seems to have a low threshold but is actually a strict hierarchy. Without nearly 100 million assets, who is willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy an ordinary apartment to live in? Only the so-called rich people who have so much money in their pockets that they can't afford to spend their spirits are extremely empty that they have this kind of leisure and elegance, living on more than 20 floors, seeking the instant satisfaction of overlooking all living beings.
Ligong Embankment on the shore of Jinji Lake has all kinds of leisure and entertainment facilities, with bright lights and wine, and drunken gold fans. Li Yundao, who just took off his tunic and only loaded an old man's sweatshirt and rode a 28-bar phoenix bicycle, looked a little unusually abrupt on the road where million-level luxury cars kept passing by.
The uniformed security guard not far away watched coldly, as if he had long been accustomed to seeing this kind of Liu Lao-like countryman, but the next scene surprised him.
A crimson Hummer that looked extremely arrogant suddenly slowed down when it passed by Li Yundao, and Li Yundao, who was riding a bicycle and only looking to enjoy the modern scenery along the road, didn't know that an old acquaintance was sitting in the opaque Humvee.
Suzhou, located in the core circle of economic development in the Yangtze River Delta, has ranked among the top in the country in terms of GDP for several consecutive years, and a fast-growing modern city will naturally not lack rich people, and luxury cars are naturally not uncommon. It's just that Suzhou people with small jasper generally don't like the kind of Hummer off-road that is so fierce that it is arrogant. Even if you buy a Humvee, they are all black and steady, and few people will buy a Hummer and spray it dark red at their own expense.
This is the crimson Hummer with a black license plate with a Shanghai A start, as if it were an exception, the slight friction between the tires and the ground replaces the sound of the engine that should have roared, and an indescribable silence replaces the arrogance that should be overwhelming.
A 28-style big-bar bicycle and a crimson Hummer gliding quietly form an unusually strange picture in the rich gathering area of Ligongdi in the evening. Even the security guard who wanted to go up to persuade Li Yundao just now stopped, frowning and secretly curious: I have read too many novels, and now everyone seems to be a gold master with unique skills.
One luxury private car after another passed by, Mercedes-Benz BMW is not uncommon, one is more arrogant and high-profile than the other, but without exception looking back at the Hummer luxury car that is parallel to the 28-style big bar bicycle. When a Maserati passed by, the woman driving the car involuntarily frowned, apparently recognizing the owner of the luxury car.
Just as I was about to open the window to say hello, the 28-pole bike and the Hummer stopped abruptly at about the same time. Li Yundao had actually noticed the car that was parallel to him a long time ago, and he didn't care about it at first, but the owner of the car was too much, Li Yundao was originally here to see the road scene, but this tall and powerful car blocked the left half of the view. What made Li Yundao even more depressed was that he stopped, and the mighty car, which seemed to have a fight with the blind bear in the mountains, actually stopped silently.
Li Yundao sat on the bicycle, put his feet on the ground, and looked at the luxury car with a strong energy everywhere in his body. Now, only the little lama Shili Gyatso, who was placed by Li Yundao with Lao Wang's daughter-in-law, clearly knew that whenever this expression appeared, it was when Brother Yundao was the most angry.
The car door opened, and the first thing to step out of the car door was a slender calf wrapped in crystal stockings, with black slender heels, and the security guards who were watching this scene from a distance couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva.
Immediately afterwards, the woman who did not apply powder but was enough to laugh at the city and then the country appeared in front of Li Yundao's 28-style big bar bicycle. For a while, this big Diao Min who had just walked out of Kunlun Mountain was also a little stupid. This is really a strange enough picture, as if in the most upscale Western restaurant in a very unsightly way of eating and chewing dog ignorance buns, so that the surrounding people are satisfied.
"Da Diao Min, I haven't seen you for two months, but you are really much whiter! Why did you come to Suzhou?" A look of a long acquaintance, but the curious people who had been watching here for a long time smashed their glasses: How can people from the two worlds of heaven and earth still know each other.
Li Yundao's memory is definitely outstanding, but if it weren't for this woman to speak, he would never have been able to recall where the girl in front of him, who was more beautiful than the female star on the billboard outside, was sacred.
As soon as he shouted "Da Diao Min," Li Yundao immediately knew who she was, and the so-called place in life is really a narrow road for enemies! It's just that this enemy took off his heroic mountaineering clothes and put on a standard lady's dress, but he also showed a different charm.
"Cai-Tao-Yao!" Li Yundao smiled and popped out three words from between his teeth, but the corners of his mouth had already revealed an unusually mysterious arc intentionally or unintentionally. As the saying goes, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them.
In addition to the professional women's clothes that can make all men want to get into the wrong, the women of the Cai family have not lost half of the great bodhisattva breath that is not stained with dust on their bodies, on the contrary, the professional suit that entered the world and the temperament of the dust are quite cleverly integrated, and the so-called fairy palace Zhu Rui is just like a house.
"Do you call other people's names like this? Polite, do you understand the two words? Da Diao Min!" Cai Taoyao didn't know why he slowed down the car so badly, and actually ran down to greet this mountain Diao people for the first time.
Li Yundao sneered when he heard this: "You're right, I'm just a Diao Min without a tutor." The whole thing is a big Diao Min in a mountain, no father or mother, only two brothers of the same age, how can you compare with a daughter like you who can bully people?" "Li Yundao is that no matter how many books he reads, no matter how much reason he knows, it is impossible to cultivate to the realm of the master who controls anger from time to time, and for the beautiful woman in front of him who has robbed him of a lot of business, Li Yundao doesn't mind using more vulgar language to stimulate her.
It's just that the woman of the Cai family didn't get angry at all, but smiled faintly, "So, you are still jealous of my brother for robbing your jade? Isn't it just a piece of jade? However, at this time, this kind of big Diaomin-style toughness still made her slander Li Yundao in her heart, but she seemed to suddenly think of something, looked Li Yundao on the opposite side up and down, and then looked around Li Yundao who was still sitting on the bicycle, and saw that Li Da Diaomin who was sitting on the 28-bar bicycle was uncomfortable.
"Da Diaomin, are you free at this time?"
"No time!" was still a smile close to a bright smile on his face, but his tone was as cold as the thousand-year-old ice on the top of Kunlun Mountain.
"Why don't you have time? I see that you ride a bike very leisurely by yourself, so how about I hire you for three hours, a thousand dollars an hour?"
"I don't have time to play with you!" When Li Yundao was about to leave on a bicycle, he was grabbed by Cai Taoyao's arm, and Li Yundao, who was not too skilled in cycling, almost carried it down, so angry that he looked at Cai Taoyao behind him.
"If you don't think you have enough money, I'll double it, and if you can't double it, you will double it! Just three hours, and you'll be idle too!"
Li Yundao stared at the woman behind him for a moment, and after the corners of his mouth curled into an inadvertent strange arc, he reluctantly said, "Tell me, what's the matter!"
"I'll hire you as my man, just three hours!"
"What?"
Li Da Diaomin was like a lightning strike, and he was immediately stunned on the spot. Growing up in a Buddhist temple, he has long been accustomed to that kind of life with a pure heart and few desires, and the temple is the old lama, the little lama, plus their three brothers, all of them are all with handles, even if it is with Shili that little guy climbs the wall and leans on the window to watch the girls in the village take a bath, it is more or less just mischievous, but he has never thought about it.
"Huh, you're blushing?"
Cai Taoyao's woman laughed without warning, but that smile was enough to captivate the country and the city, and Li Da Diaomin was a little stunned for a while.
