It's a hot summer day, and even though it's late at night, it's still extremely hot, but fortunately the store is air-conditioned. The four of them found a vacant seat and sat down, Zhang Yongzheng called the boss to order a chicken pot, and the hot chicken pot was quickly served, steaming, and the already hot space was even hotter.

Zhang Yongzheng looked at the hot meal, picked up the chopsticks and ate it, "I'm really hungry along the way, I have to eat first." ”

Lin Xianwan picked up the chopsticks and ate them one bite at a time. Lin Huayu looked at the food and said quietly: "I don't eat so late." ”

Song Guoqiang also shook his head and said, "I'm not interested in this meal, I can't eat it at all, you can eat it." ”

In this way, the two of them watched the other two eat, a simple meal, and it was quickly eaten. Zhang Yongzheng patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Finally full, I'm going to go back to rest, which of you two will send me back." ”

Song Guoqiang was a little surprised and said, "Why don't you go out to play?

"Big brother, I still have a lot of things to do tomorrow, unlike you who have been in Shanghai all the time and have a good job. I've just arrived in Shanghai, and after being away for so long, Shanghai has changed a lot, and I have to adapt to it. Zhang Yongzheng said.

Lin Huayu stood up and said, "It's okay, I'll send you back, by the way, see where you live? If not, just move to me, now I live in a house one by one, it's very spacious." ”

Song Guoqiang also stood up and said: "That's it, Xiao Zhengzi, what else are you looking for to live in Shanghai, I also live alone, come to live with me, and I will cover you in the future." ”

Lin Xianwan wiped the oil stains on his red lips with a napkin and said, "You don't know Yongzheng's character, brother, let's send him home and let him rest early." ”

"Yes, let's go. Lin Huayu picked up the scarf and prepared to leave.

The car drove on the elevated road, and the high-rise buildings outside the car window, although far away, were shining in the night sky, telling everyone that they were in Shanghai. Having a car is convenient, Zhang Yong is looking for a house in Songjiang District, the car shuttles in the night, and soon arrives at the destination, and the four of them get out of the car and help with the luggage. Walking into a community, the environment is okay.

Walking into the floor, Zhang Yongzheng opened the door, and a spacious house appeared. Song Guoqiang looked at it a few times and said, "How come there is no living room in such a big room." ”

"This is a boarding house, the living room has been converted into a room, don't worry about that, go inside, the third room is, there should be no locked door. Zhang Yongzheng explained simply.

Shanghai is really a place where every inch of land is valuable, and the rooms are even more scary. When Zhang Yongzheng came here to determine the job, he determined the house by the way, and a small room, a second bedroom cost 1,000 yuan in rent, and there was no water price. I have been looking for a lot of homes at this price, and in the end I can only rent one with all my heart, but it is only eight or nine square meters, one thousand and one month, plus the water and electricity bill at least one thousand two a month. One-third of the salary is given to others as rent, and half a month is used to work for others.

Song Guoqiang walked over one by one, carrying his luggage, and pushed the door open, with an unobstructed view, without any cover. A small room of no more than eight square meters, a bed, a wardrobe and a small table, all the belongings are these. Song Guoqiang put down his luggage and said loudly: "How do you live here, Xiao Zhengzi, or go to my house and live with me, I usually have nothing to do in the police station, and I can send you to the company, how convenient." ”

Zhang Yongzheng put the luggage in his hand on the bed, and said with some displeasure: "I am here to work in Shanghai, not to seek refuge in you, so don't mention these things in the future." ”

"Guoqiang, you idiot don't talk much, we don't object to Xiaozheng if you want to live here, but if you have any difficulties and don't tell us, don't blame us for forcibly taking you away. Lin Huayu stood at the door and said in a slightly tough tone.

Zhang Yongzheng spread his hands and said: "I won't slap a swollen face and become fat, after all, the sin has to be borne by yourself, okay, you send me to it, I should go back to rest." ”

Lin Xianwan looked up at Zhang Yongzheng and said softly: "Then you live here by yourself, you must be more careful, I will often come to look for you." ”

Lin Huayu lifted the scarf hanging from his neck and said, "Since I know that you live here, then I will leave first, and I will come to me at any time if I have anything in the future." He turned around and pulled Lin Xiandui away.

Song Guoqiang didn't leave, stood by the window and said, "You really don't want to live with me." ”

"No, I think it's still comfortable to live alone. Zhang Yongzheng said.

"Well, I'm not forcing you. Song Guoqiang still didn't mean to leave, but sat on the bed and said, "Clean up the room, I still have something to say to you." ”

Zhang Yongzheng opened his luggage and was about to pack his clothes, and when he heard this, he said with a slight smile: "I didn't expect that you would be careful when you were so arrogant, say it." ”

Song Guoqiang stretched out his hand and escaped from his arms a box about three inches long that looked like gold and non-gold, and handed it over: "This is what my grandfather asked me to hand over to you, and I don't know what is inside." ”

Zhang Yongzheng took the box and said with a smile, "What is so mysterious?" I was about to open it when I took it, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't be opened.

"You don't have to try, you can't open it, my grandfather said, 'When the time comes, you can open it'. Now don't waste your efforts in vain, keep it safe. Song Guoqiang looked at Zhang Yongzheng with a questioning face and said.

Zhang Yongzheng put the wooden box on his right hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said, "Okay, then put me here first, a few old people, I will come to visit sooner or later." ”

Song Guoqiang came over and took out the quilt, put it on the bed, and then said: "And what you are most concerned about, my sister is really back this time, and she must take over the family business, there are just some misunderstandings between you." Can't you help her, I'll be relieved to have you, and my sister really needs your help. ”

Zhang Yongzheng ripped off the quilt and spread it on the bed, and said with a gloomy face: "Misunderstanding, if it is so easy to solve, it won't take so long, don't say it again, thank you for your kindness, let me and Xiaodie solve it." ”

Song Guoqiang threw the mat he took out on the ground and yelled: "Xiao Zhengzi, do you understand my sister's heart, do you have to beat you to the cripple and bring it to my sister? ”

Zhang Yongzheng looked at him with deep eyes, picked up the mat that fell on the ground, and said, "Song Guoqiang, don't you think you are too careful? It's too late, I want to rest, you can go." ”

"You. Song Guoqiang's face was full of anger, and he said angrily, "Okay, it's Lao Tzu who is meddling, where the are you when my sister is crying?"

"Bang-" With a bang, the door was slammed shut, and Song Guoqiang also left here. Zhang Yongzheng laid out the mat, and now he has no experience to tidy up the room, so he lies on the bed.

A butterfly with azure wings fluttered back and forth among the flowers, and a child of about five years old, following behind, yelled to catch the butterfly. The butterflies seemed to tease him on purpose, and they were not too far away, always flying around him. After a while, the child was tired and panting, and staggered to the side. Here, an old man with gray hair, holding a wooden sword, kept dancing, strong and powerful, replied that he saw the cute appearance of the little guy, put down the wooden sword and said with a smile: "Xiaozheng, why don't you play with Blue Butterfly." ”

This child is Zhang Yongzheng, who slowly walked to the old man's side step by step, and said in a doll's voice: "I can't catch it, grandpa, you tell me to practice martial arts, so that I can catch this hateful blue butterfly." ”

The blue butterfly fluttered its blue wings gently, and a trace of fragrance wafted by, landing on the old man's shoulder. The old man smiled and said, "Blue Butterfly is the patron saint of our Zhang family for generations, you have to get along with him." ”

Zhang Yongzheng muttered and said very incomprehensibly: "Don't, don't do it, it knows how to bully me all day long." ”

The old man lovingly stroked Zhang Yongzheng's head and was about to speak. "Master, Master Song has arrived, and he is in the front hall. A middle-aged man said.

The old man picked up the hand placed on Zhang Yongzheng's head, handed him the wooden sword, and the blue butterfly fluttered its wings, left her shoulder, turned around and said, "I know, you come over to take care of Xiaozheng for a while." ”

The man walked over and whispered, "Little master, let's go to the backyard to play." ”

Zhang Yongzheng raised his little head to look at the grandfather who was leaving, and said a little angrily: "Steward Hai, I also want to go over, you are not allowed to stop me." "Jump away and catch up.

The sea steward turned around and followed step by step, following behind Zhang Yongzheng, and the two quickly walked to the front hall. I saw two long white beards at the corners of a mouth wearing a black robe, "Grandpa Song, you're here." Zhang Yongzheng shouted obediently.

Grandpa Song bent down and picked up Zhang Yongzheng and said with a smile: "Xiaozheng is getting more and more well-behaved, haha, Xiaomeng is here, haven't you been clamoring to see your little brother of the Zhang family." ”

Hearing Grandpa Song's words, Zhang Yongzheng tilted his head and saw a little face in a snow-white dress, hiding behind Grandpa Song shyly, revealing two big eyes, dripping. Zhang Yongzheng jumped down and walked over and said, "My name is Zhang Yongzheng, and my grandfather hopes that I will always be upright." ”

The little girl replied timidly: "My name is Song Xiaodie, I am from Xiaomeng Fan Butterfly, Nan Ke has a dream, whether it is true or false, I have to judge it myself." ”

Zhang Yongzheng stretched out his hand and took Song Xiaomeng's little hand and said with a smile: "Let's go to the backyard to catch butterflies, there is a butterfly with good blue wings, which is very annoying and always plays tricks on me." The two ran to the backyard.

When he woke up from a dream, Zhang Yongzheng was in a daze, just lying on the bed, remembering the scene when he saw Song Xiaodie for the first time, touching his head, and falling asleep deeply. The morning sun is sprinkled in the room, a small room is full of sunshine, Zhang Yongzheng opened his eyes, today he is going to the company to report and have a physical examination, get dressed, brush his teeth and wash his face, and then carry his backpack and go out.

Shanghai is a big city, with incomplete statistics, the floating population here can reach 30 million, and the population density can only be described by the word horror. Now it's only more than seven o'clock, the road is already full of vehicles, pedestrians are also endless, five minutes of walking to the subway entrance, for office workers, the subway and bus are the best and most convenient means of transportation, but the convenience of a city's transportation can also indicate the prosperity of the city. The crowded subway was full of people, and a subway roared in, Zhang Yongzheng was standing in line, and the train stopped. When I opened the door, the line disappeared in an instant, and they all rushed up to the train, screaming 'don't squeeze', 'you stepped on my foot', 'don't squeeze'

Zhang Yongzheng was taken aback by such a scene, in the city where he used to study, there were only buses, but it was very convenient, although it would be crowded, but it was not as good as it is now. I used to envy the speed of the subway and the short time, but now it seems that crowding the subway is really a terrible thing.

After waiting for two trains in a row, Zhang Yongzheng didn't squeeze in, and had to sigh that there were a lot of people, and as soon as the most important train arrived, there was no morality at all, all of them rushed forward, pushing and squeezing into the train, and if they were a little sluggish, they couldn't squeeze in, and the train was completely crowded. Zhang Yongzheng watched that the time was about to pass a quarter of an hour, and he didn't squeeze up desperately after passing through the three subways, and he was heartbroken, and the train just rushed in at an arrow step, and all kinds of massage collided, squeezing away a few people, and finally rushed into the train. Zhang Yongzheng was embarrassed to suspect that sometimes he could only get the result he wanted without being ashamed, although he rushed into the subway, but people were crowded, people were crowded, and everyone only had a place to put their feet, and there was no space to move their bodies. The only thing I am glad for is that there is air conditioning in the train, which is very cool, so that people are not crowded and sweat all over their bodies.

Zhang Yongzheng was squeezed at the door, when did he take such a crowded train, even if it was in the Spring Festival train, it would not be so crowded, and there was still a place to put his feet there, so he could move his body. Now I am leaning against the wall of the train, and I can't even move my body, so I have to keep it in this state until I get off the train.

The train is in the underground passage, speeding forward, passing by station by station, always pushing inward, and there is no space left in the train. Passengers who get off at each stop must be prepared in advance and move to the door little by little, otherwise you will definitely not be able to get off when you arrive at the station. There was no one Zhang Yongzheng was familiar with on the train, so he could only take out his mobile phone and look at some consultations. The train arrived at another station, and people suddenly rushed down, and the train suddenly vacated a lot of space. Zhang Yongzheng looked at all this curiously, why did everyone suddenly go down, and when he raised his head, he saw that it was Xujiahui Station, and Zhang Yongzheng was still relatively unfamiliar with this name. But you don't have to think about it yourself, there are fewer people in the train, and with space, you finally don't have to be crammed into a small corner. Move your body that is about to be scattered, find a spacious place, and hold on to the upper handlebar, so that you can relax and listen to music for a while.

The train is passing through a few stations, and there are very few people getting up and down, and they don't squeeze up and down in a swarm, but for the question of seats, you don't even want to have them. Not long after, Zhang Yongzheng stepped off the train, squeezed the subway and felt that he had lost more than ten pounds, shook his head, and thought that he would have to squeeze like this every day in the future, it was really a big head, but maybe it would be good to get used to it. Walk out of the subway and turn around, walk along the road for more than ten minutes, and see a high-rise building in the distance, on which is written Shanghai Media Oriental Co., Ltd.
