Chapter 116: A New Beginning
Chapter 116: A New Beginning
This year, I feel that everything is dull and boring, and I no longer have the enthusiasm that I had in the army in previous years.
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my cousin and they discussed leaving and asked me to pack up my things, but at this time, my grandmother and her old man had a disease, and the illness was very serious, and it happened to be the time of spring sowing, my mother had to go to the mountains to do farm work in the fields, and my father wanted to go out to earn money, so I left first with my ninth uncle and cousin, and I had to stay and take care of it first.
There was a snowfall in the middle of the way, the second uncle came to see my grandmother a few times, prescribed Chinese medicine, a month later, the weather became warmer, my grandmother's illness finally improved, until this year when the peach blossoms bloomed all over the mountain, my grandmother's illness was so neat, I was able to get out of bed and move freely.
I talked to my father on the phone, greeted Uncle Jiu, then packed my luggage, and brought forty catties of lard under my cousin's advice, divided into two barrels, saying that life over there was hard, the conditions were poor, and I couldn't buy anything, and I had to cook and eat by myself, and I couldn't eat any meat for a long time.
But thinking that I will soon be with my father, my cousin, they will be together, and they will soon be able to make money, and I was quite excited along the way, and I squeezed all the way from the county to the city in an open-top Dongfeng car, and suddenly felt that my eyes were black, and I couldn't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest, I was the first time to set foot in the society, and I basically didn't go out of the military division compound in the army, and this time I didn't have the second uncle by my side, and I suddenly felt very helpless, so I regretted that I came to the city last time, and patronized the demons and demons, and I didn't have a good turn with the second uncle in the cityγ
But after thinking about it, I thought to myself, Lao Tzu came out of the army, and he has the peerless martial arts passed on to me by his master and his old man, and the co-author can be regarded as a young man who has just come out of the rivers and lakes in martial arts, and he is afraid of a ball. Whatever path under your feet should be, keep going.
I stood in the crowd for a while, carried my bag, lifted two large barrels of lard, looked around, called out to the two uncles who were walking in front of me, and asked them how to go to the station, the two turned around and asked where I was going, I said I was going to Hebei Mine, the two looked at me and said, just go to the bus station and take the bus, we are just going to the bus station, go, are all fellow countrymen, go with us, I promised to say okay.
On the way, we began to talk, and the uncle asked, "Young man, you are very young, and you have gone to the mine so early? β
I said: "It's okay, this is no way, the family is poor, the poor man's child has long been in charge, I have worked in the army, and my body is strong, this little hardship, I can bear it." β
The uncle said: "Eh, I have been a soldier in the army, it's amazing, that body, it's no problem, I can withstand it." β
I asked the uncle, "What are you two doing, and where are you going to go this time?"
The uncle smiled, and one of them said: "I'm going to go to the south to see, I've worked in the mine before, hey, I can't bear that hardship, go to the south to find some easy work to do." β
I asked how it was in the mine? Is it good to do it? The uncle said, "It's simple, work hard, young man, you have been a soldier, and you have no problem with your strength and body, just work hard."
We walked for a while, the two uncles asked me what I was carrying on my back, I saw that the two of them were very enthusiastic, and they were fellow countrymen, so they said 1510, brought clothes, peanut specialties, and two barrels of lard, and brought them to their cousins to make up for them, the two uncles smiled, saying that my little brother was quite kind to my uncle, and said that it was hard to see what I was carrying on my back, and they didn't have much luggage, everyone was a villager, and the road to the station was still far away, and it was proposed to help me share the point.
I agreed, about half an hour to go, to the station to buy a ticket, I put things first, two uncles to ask for tickets, came back to help me also asked, said that the fastest train is only dark, no tickets on the ticket desk, it is estimated to be a black car, this will not know what the situation is, can only wait first.
I see that the two uncles take good care of me, and they are fellow countrymen, trustworthy, so wait together, I look at the watch, it is already four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and it is not two hours after dark, it is very fast, I put things away, sit on the ground with the two uncles, lean on the backpack and wait, this day on the road of fatigue, as soon as I sit down, I can't sleep, the two uncles look at me and nod their heads, and they say, the young man will sleep, let's help you look at things, rest assured, it's okay, I said okay, then thank you two uncles.
I was sleeping soundly when I felt someone moving my legs, and when I opened my eyes, I saw an aunt poking me with a broom handle and calling out to me, "Eh, boy, wake up, young man, wake up, don't get in the way of my cleaning...... We're going to close the door, go out and find a place to sleep, we're going to close!"
I looked around and found that it was dark, the two uncles were not there, I didn't care, I stood up, carried my bag to leave, only to find that something was missing, and then looked closely, two barrels of lard were gone.
I hurriedly asked my aunt where my lard was, and my aunt rolled her eyes and said how do I know, and I asked the two uncles who were with me, and the aunt stopped the broom in her hand and said that she was gone, and she had already left.
I then knew that I had been deceived, and the two uncles and fellow villagers were for these two barrels of lard, and they were suddenly touching and sinister, and then asked, this was not a bus to Hebei at all, and my aunt told me to go to the train station to see.
I can only think about it, let's go to the provincial capital first, there must be a car in the provincial capital, and I am familiar with the provincial capital.
My aunt was also enthusiastic, showed me the way, I walked along the people's road for more than half an hour, and arrived at the train station, although I lost these two barrels of lard, but I walked with ease, and quickly forgot the unpleasantness of being deceived.
I went to the ticket office and bought a ticket at more than ten o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't arrive until more than three o'clock in the morning the next day, at this time it was still early, but I had heard that the train station was a mixed place, it was not very peaceful, and the lesson of the afternoon, in order to avoid trouble, I decided to enter the station immediately, just walked to the square, but I heard my stomach growling, came back to my senses, and suddenly felt hungry, only to remember that this day from the house to now, still not a drop of water, at this time I wish there was a big bowl of white rice in front of me, gobbling up.
I looked around and there were quite a few restaurants across the train station, so it shouldn't be a good idea to have a meal. This man is iron, and the rice is steel, and my legs have already stepped over when I think of this.
I went to a few shops, and finally chose a small restaurant with the same name as our county, the boss asked me what I wanted to eat, I said come to a bowl of dry rice, boss, the boss looked at me and said, you want fried dry rice in oil, right? I don't sell it, I said okay, the boss asked if you want to add eggs? I said no, the boss went into the kitchen and shook the pot, and added, I am fried in lard, I want to add a dollar, let me tell you clearly, three yuan a bowl, I promised, sat down and turned my head to look at him on the stove twice.
It's good not to look at it, I found that the two barrels on his stove, not the two barrels of lard I brought, the boss is scooping oil in the bucket for me fried rice, I asked in the past, he told me these two barrels of oil, he was spending twenty yuan to buy, I asked where to buy, the boss said that two passing fellows sold to him, two honest people were deceived of the road fee, then sold two barrels of home-refined authentic lard to me, for some money, two people were going to go down to the mine to exert strength, this lard is a good thing, two people as a baby, otherwise it is really reluctant, these years are honest people, heyοΌ
As soon as I heard this, I didn't fight in one place, and these two damn liars instead mixed up the victims themselves and pretended to be pitiful.
I asked my boss, "What about them?"
The boss smiled, gave me a look, and looked diagonally opposite the door of the store: "Go there, you come on the back foot, they just left on the front foot, they must have gone in!"
"Pit stop?"
"Where are you going, where are you going, how can you get things done so quickly?"
I was a little puzzled and asked, "Where are they going, what are they doing?"
"Chicken coop, pheasant coop, you haven't been out, have you? Young man, they're looking for a pheasant woman, didn't they just change money from me?" It is estimated that he was also angry with the liar and went to the fire. β
