Chapter 02: The Hillbilly Enters the City, Silly, Stupid, and Dick!
After answering Liu Xiaoshu's call, Zeng Jingru was afraid of Zhang Dequan and was waiting at the train station in a hurry. In order to be in a hurry, as soon as Zeng Jingru got out of the hotel lobby, she took a taxi directly and went to the train station to pick up Zhang Dequan.
Since the taxi ride is direct, there is no stumbling on the road. So when Zeng Jingru arrived at the train station, it didn't take much time, the taxi arrived quickly, and the train station was on the road.
In order not to delay time, Zeng Jingru called the taxi driver who came with her and waited a little. She picked up the people and came out immediately.
Not far from the exit of the station, Zeng Jingru recognized Zhang Dequan at a glance. It's not because Zeng Jingru really saw people, but because of his stupid appearance, he can get out of the crowd at a glance.
You must have thought of it, it's the hillbilly who enters the city, the kind of person who has never seen the world, and feels surprised and curious about everything.
So much so that Zeng Jingru had already approached, and Zhang Dequan didn't notice it. "Boy, what are you thinking?" Zeng Jingru patted Zhang Dequan with his hand before he came out of his dream.
"Your little brother, he's busy at this point, so I'll come over. After seeing Zhang Dequan and seeing her, Zeng Jingru explained.
"It's okay, you can just come. If you don't come, I won't be able to find the north, south, and west, and I'll definitely get lost. At the exit of the train station, Zhang Dequan, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that someone finally came to pick him up, it was like meeting a savior, pulling him up from the pitch-black abyss. In the face of this situation, Zhang Dequan has nothing to complain about.
"I'm afraid of getting lost, so you can go tomorrow and buy a map. It is the quickest way for you to get to know the city. Zeng Jingru, as a person who came over, said very old-fashioned about her tips for dealing with getting lost.
"Let's go, I'll take you to our hotel first. I came out during work hours, and I still have to go to work. It may be that Zeng Jingru remembered that the taxi that sent her just now was still waiting for them on the road in front of the train station, so Zeng Jingru hurriedly urged Zhang Dequan.
"Are you all so busy?" Zhang Dequan asked incomprehensibly for Zeng Jingru's urging.
"You think, living in this city, you have to spend everything. You think it's in your Hugou Village, you don't have a dime in your pocket, and you can live well. Zeng Jingru said like a teacher giving a lecture, exposing the professional habits of being a leader.
"Let's put our luggage home first and then go to the hotel. It's relatively close to home, and it's not convenient to run back and forth with things. Seeing the reality of the situation, Zeng Jingru was making a wiser plan according to the actual situation at that time.
"Hurry up, the taxi is still waiting over there. Zeng Jingru urged, and Zhang Dequan, who had not yet come back to his senses, said.
Immediately afterward, the two of them left the exit of the train station and walked towards a taxi parked in a passing place. Immediately with the departure of the taxi, Zhang Dequan finally had a feeling of looking for an organization, just like the feeling of being born alone in an enemy-occupied area, and finally connecting with his own upline and head.
Soon, Zeng Jingru led Zhang Dequan, put the luggage he brought at home, and then took Zhang Dequan to the hotel where Liu Xiaoshu worked. Liu Xiaoshu was in the kitchen and got Zhang Dequan something to eat. After that, they sat together and chatted for a while.
Since the evening is the peak time of the hotel, there are many people who eat and want to stay. It wasn't until more than 9 o'clock in the evening that Liu Xiaoshu had time to pay attention to Zhang Dequan. But when Liu Xiaoshu remembered, Zhang Dequan was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Xiaoshu, who couldn't find anyone, was anxious for a while, and finally remembered. When he was busy and it was dark, Zhang Dequan came in and told him that Zhang Dequan went out for a walk by himself.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhang Dequan to come back by himself.
"Where are you going? If you don't come back, I'll be going home from work." At the critical moment, I didn't expect Zhang Dequan to appear, Liu Xiaoshu's heart that was still hanging just now finally landed on the ground, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Why, I'm just walking around the hotel. I didn't dare to go far, I was afraid that if I got lost, I would sleep on the side of the road like you. Zhang Dequan still knows a little about Liu Xiaoshu's story back then. Seeing Liu Xiaoshu's worries, Zhang Dequan hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, it's good to be back. You just arrived, I don't think you need to rush to find a job, go around first, and have a good time for a few days. Seeing Zhang Dequan's appearance, Liu Xiaoshu continued. He knew in his heart that Zhang Dequan had just arrived, and he must have been very curious about everything here, including the environment here.
Back then, Liu Xiaoshu came to this city alone, and he really lived alone and without relatives. On the day he first came, he, like Zhang Dequan now, entered the city as a hillbilly and didn't understand anything stupidly.
At that time, with curiosity about the city, I didn't think about it for a few days, I didn't think that I was going to find a job or something, and I walked around the city every day, looking at the bustling scene here.
He originally thought that the city should not be that big, so in order to save money, he didn't plan to take a car or a ride or something. I thought that he could walk to the end of the city street in three or two steps, but what he didn't expect was that one of his shoes was broken, and in the end, he didn't figure out the southeast and northwest of the city.
In fact, it wasn't that he really couldn't figure out the east, south, west, and north, but because of the landscapes on both sides of the street, he didn't have time to pay attention to them at all. A lot of times, walking and walking, I don't know where I've gotten to in the end. Especially at night, it's easy to get lost.
It is precisely for these reasons that when he does not have much money, Liu Xiaoshu really sleeps on the road. Sometimes, I go to an Internet café, first surf the Internet in an Internet café, and then fall asleep unconsciously.
Liu Xiaoshu probably played like this crazy for a month, and after he suddenly realized that he didn't have much money on him, he remembered that he should go find a job or something. If he still has money, he will definitely continue to play. When he didn't have much money, he found a random factory, as long as he had food and accommodation.
Later, whenever the factory was on holiday, Liu Xiaoshu would still go out to play. However, compared to when he first arrived, he would take the bus to play farther away, instead of just walking stupidly like he did at the beginning.
Whenever he thinks of his actions, Liu Xiaoshu always keeps shaking his head, when he was young, he was crazy.
He and Zhang Dequan returned home, and after arranging the place where Zhang Dequan slept, they went out for supper with Zhang Dequan. This should be regarded as Liu Xiaoshu, who gave Zhang Dequan the wind and welcomed him to develop in this city.
Since Zhang Dequan had just come out of his hometown and was not very good at drinking, Liu Xiaoshu did not drink either, so the two of them only ordered some food at the barbecue stall.
"Dequan, it's better outside than my hometown. After ordering the barbecue, Liu Xiaoshu found a table, sat down, and began to chat with his cousin.
"Well, it's much better than back home. After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, Zhang Dequan's heart was hot-blooded, and his eyes were full of excitement.
"As long as you feel good, that's fine. Since you're here, let's have a good time for a few days before you say, let's go out for a walk by yourself. Now tell you to calm down and find a job with peace of mind, you will definitely not be enough. "My cousin just came, and he didn't want to be disappointed, he himself was a person who had come over, and he knew what it was like to just come to this city.
"Well, just to get out and find the way, when I went out just now, I passed by the newsstand and found that there were maps for sale, so I bought one. Zhang Dequan said happily, and then he took the map out of his trouser pocket and showed it to Liu Xiaoshu.
"You're fast enough, boy! smarter than I was, when I first came, I didn't see any maps, and I spent my days wandering the streets. After listening to Zhang Dequan's words, Liu Xiaoshu said with a little pride.
"This is my cousin-in-law, who told me today, asking me to buy a map, so that it is convenient to go out and not get lost. After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, Zhang Dequan immediately stopped admitting himself, and said that he bought a map, but in fact, Zeng Jingru's idea.
At this time, talking about this, Liu Xiaoshu remembered his wife, so he made a phone call and asked Zeng Jingru when he would come home from work.
"Honey, when are you going to get off work?" Liu Xiaoshu said affectionately into the phone.
"I've already gone home from work, where are you and the Dequan people?" Zeng Jingru said to Liu Xiaoshu a little angrily.
Zeng Jingru thought that Zhang Dequan had just come today, and there were still many things at home that needed to be arranged at home, so Zeng Jingru went home early. But when she went home, she didn't see Liu Xiaoshu and Zhang Dequan, and when Zeng Jingru was depressed, she didn't expect Liu Xiaoshu's phone call to come in.
"Dequan and I were out for supper, and we were having a barbecue. Do you want to have a supper?" After Liu Xiaoshu explained to his wife, he didn't forget to tease Zeng Jingru and hang her appetite.
"Nonsense...... What I like to eat, you know. Hearing Liu Xiaoshu's ill-intentioned words, Zeng Jingru immediately gave Liu Xiaoshu a task on the phone.
"Okay, wife, the villain will definitely do it......" After Liu Xiaoshu received the task from Zeng Jingru, he said something to ensure that the task was completed. Before Liu Xiaoshu finished speaking, what Liu Xiaoshu didn't expect was that Zeng Jingru actually hung up the phone directly.
Suddenly, Zhang Dequan asked: "Brother Xiaoshu, my cousin-in-law is so beautiful and has such a high education, you are a little chef, how did you chase your cousin-in-law?"
"That's a long story, I'll tell you about it when I have a chance later. Seeing Zhang Dequan's curious eyes, Liu Xiaoshu looked at his cousin with a smile without answering.
"That's right, Dequan. Since you've come to me, remember to call home tomorrow to report your safety. Suddenly, Liu Xiaoshu thought that since Zhang Dequan had arrived, he should call home and go back. Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoshu reminded Zhang Dequan.
"I know, I have the phone number of Zhang Ergou's house in our village here, and I will call Zhang Ergou tomorrow and ask him to send a message to his family and report his safety. After listening to Liu Xiaoshu's words, Zhang Dequan also felt that he should call back.
Also, in the future, you should call home often and say hello. There is something good that makes the family happy. Liu Xiaoshu continued.
"Uh-huh, I see. Zhang Dequan replied.
Soon, Liu Xiaoshu and Zhang Dequan finished eating supper and walked back slowly.
