The Year (117)

On Friday night this week, a few kids were in a hurry to catch up with their homework. Because they were back in town on the weekend, they had to finish their homework on Friday night.

The fourth master didn't know what he was writing, Lin Yutong took the book and gnawed on it, drank a cup of strong tea and continued a cup, and now he is studying again, only to find out what it means to be unforgiving. Energy and brain power, I feel a lot worse than the previous two years.

The door of the study was a sliding glass door, and there was a soft knock outside.

"Come in. Lin Yutong put down the book and turned around. It wasn't a few kids. They don't knock on the door if they have something, they ask loudly in the living room.

Sure enough, I saw Xiaofang push the door and come in.

She unconsciously put her two hands in front of her, rubbing the corners of her clothes, "Sister Lin......"

"Something?" Lin Yutong asked. She is still satisfied with this girl, her hands and feet are nimble, and her eyes are alive.

"Is there no one at home tomorrow?" asked Xiaofang in a low voice.

Lin Yutong suddenly said, "Yes." Let's go back to town. You are at home by yourself. You can eat whatever you want, and you can have it in the fridge. We came back on Sunday night. All you have to do is prepare dinner the night after tomorrow. ”

"It's not...... Big sister!" Xiao Fang said in a low voice, "I want to ask, there is no one at home, can I not stay at home." ”

Lin Yutong was stunned, "You don't dare to live alone?"

Xiao Fang shook her head again and again, "No...... No...... I just want to go into town and give me a ...... Fellows help. It's okay at home anyway...... Rest assured, I'll be back on time Sunday night. I don't eat at home, and I save food for my family. If you really can't, you can deduct a little bit of my salary. ”

Lin Yutong pointed to the stool on the side, "Sit down." Sit down and say. ”

Xiao Fang's face turned red, "If it doesn't work, forget it." ”

Lin Yutong smiled and said, "You go to help your fellow countrymen, what do you help?" The live-in nanny at home, especially taking care of children, is most afraid of being involved with bad people outside.

Xiao Fang saw that Lin Yutong didn't seem annoyed, so she whispered: "My fellow countryman, I opened a small restaurant outside, and there are many people on weekends, so I just went to help." ”

The fourth master raised his head, "You are all from the countryside?"

Xiao Fang smiled innocently, "Yes." It's all rural. ”

"Are there many people who come out to work in the countryside?" the fourth master also turned around and asked.

Xiao Fang nodded, "There were only one or two last year, and this year there are a little more." Most of them went to Shenzhen. I followed...... The fellow came to the capital. ”

The fourth master closed the book, "Isn't it the countryside that has been contracted to the household? Now life should be better, why do you want to run to the city?"

Xiaofang said embarrassedly: "We have little land there, and there are many children in the family. The fields are divided, and there are not much. One or two laborers at home are enough. It's better to come out to work than at home. I also have a little live money in my hand. ”

I see.

The fourth master turned his head to look at Lin Yutong, "It seems that we are either in school or in the research institute, and we are really slow to respond to the changes in the outside society." ”

Lin Yutong nodded, whether it was a school or a research institute, it was like a paradise.

She turned to Xiao Fang and said, "Then let's go together tomorrow." ”

Xiao Fang quickly stood up and answered, and then went out happily.

The fourth master never flipped through the book again, but he didn't know what to think.

Lin Yutong guessed that the flow of population and the emergence of migrant workers probably gave the fourth master something different.

It took a long time to hear the fourth master say: "Tomorrow I should go to the street and take a look." ”

The next day the family entered the city. This time, it was Lin Yuting who drove a van to pick up people.

Drop off Xiaofang to a wholesale market near the city. Outside the wholesale market, there is a simple shed, a few square meters in size, a door, selling everything.

The fourth master left the child in the car and asked Lin Yuting to watch. He and Lin Yutong entered the wholesale market with great interest.

Here is the wholesale of vegetables. The board cars in and out are very lively.

Xiaofang's fellow is a young man in his teens and □□, and he sells dandan noodles here.

The hawkers who came and went, ate a bowl of hot, and the quick ones were busy. Although there are only two tables, business still looks like it is booming.

"Is business okay?" the fourth master stood outside and watched for a long time before he went over and asked.

The young man smiled innocently, "It's good." All day long, people are constant. When it's cold, it's hot, and when it's hot, it's cold. What makes money and sells something. ”

Lin Yutong asked Xiaofang in a low voice, "Is it your object?"

Xiao Fang blushed and didn't speak.

Lin Yutong is a little clear.

The two walked around the market again before returning to the car.

"I haven't seen such a market, have you?" Lin Yuting laughed, "Now there are some urban-rural areas, all of which are young people who come to the city to work. Babysitters, waiters, grocery sellers, food sellers. Anyway, they do all the small business that people in the city don't look down on. Especially the people of Wenzhou, the streets and alleys are all them. In our city, there are many people who are idle, but they just can't erase this side. I feel ashamed to do these things for a living. I'd rather play mahjong at home than resolutely not work. Rubbing mahjong knows, right? Oh, there are a lot of people in our factory who don't do their jobs properly, doing this all day long. ”

In the past, when people played cards, they were all poker. There are very few mahjong. Now it's showing up again.

Lin Yutong saw that the fourth master didn't know what to think, so he changed the topic with Lin Yuting, "Is your van newly bought?"

"Just bought. Don't dare to let your parents know. Lin Yuting shook his head, "Although it is not as decent as a car, this can pull goods and people, how good." It's a lot of effort. ”

Lin Yutong nodded, this is quite practical. I don't care about face, I don't care about face.

When I got home, I was going to go to the bookstore first, but the fourth master buried himself in the study, "Let's go tomorrow, I'll write something first." ”

As a result, the delay was a full day. The meals were brought to him by Lin Yutong.

stayed up for most of the night, and the next day, the two went to B University and found Professor Zhang, the former teacher of the Department of Economics and the fourth master.

"You wrote this?" Professor Zhang still has an impression of this student. I heard that he went to graduate school in other majors, and he was a little pity. I didn't expect that after graduating for a few years, I would still be able to calm down and do my studies.

The fourth master nodded, "The flow of population promotes urbanization." But the pros and cons are obvious. ”

Professor Zhang stretched out his hand and put his eyes on, and it took him more than half an hour to finish reading this article, "The article will be left first, and I will read it again." ”

The fourth master did not hesitate, he stood up and wanted to take Lin Yutong to leave.

"Wait a minute. Professor Zhang also got up, "You can treat this question as a big topic. Make a few good articles. As he spoke, he handed the fourth master a library card, "If you want any information, go to the library to check it." ”

The fourth master hurriedly and respectfully agreed.

When he went out, Lin Yutong knew that this Professor Zhang was not an ordinary professor. Rather, it is an adviser to the state on the economy.

It can be regarded as the Taishan Beidou of today's economics.

No wonder.

The two of them raised their legs and went to the library, not only borrowed the books that the fourth master wanted, but also borrowed the ones that Lin Yutong needed.

I went to see Uncle Cheng and Aunt Feng by the way.

"Nowadays, everywhere is improving the living environment, but the living environment of university teachers is not improving. Uncle Cheng smiled bitterly, "Qing bitter is really clear bitter." ”

Aunt Feng smiled and said to Lin Yutong: "That's what he wants." Nowadays, many companies run by ministries and commissions hire these professors as consultants with high salaries, and it is not easy to make money?"

Uncle Cheng snorted, "Where is the consultant? Is an expert who can be bought for money still an expert? A professor who can be measured in money is still a professor? I'd rather starve to death, I'm happy. ”

This stubborn old man!

Accompanied the two to gossip for a while, and then said goodbye from school.

Everything that needs to be done has been done. Lin Yutong asked the fourth master, "Where are we going next?"

"Go around. The fourth master said, and took Lin Yutong's hand.

Bustling streets, people next to each other. When you get to the intersection, you have to look at the traffic lights. There is a constant flow of traffic on the streets.

Not only bicycles, but also motorcycles scurrying in the small alleys, with a roaring sound, spewing exhaust fumes when passing by. provoked a lot of scolding.

Sao Bao!

"It's really changing from day to day, and it's changing too much. The fourth master asked Lin Yutong in a low voice, "Do you remember when we returned to the capital in seventy-four years?"

How could it not be remembered?

"It's been ten years. It's the same in the blink of an eye. Lin Yutong also sighed a little.

The two remembered the past, so they went to a Northeast restaurant and had lunch.

"I couldn't find a place to eat before, but now it's full of restaurants. Hunan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Northeast cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, only unexpected, nothing can not be eaten. Lin Yutong said, and ordered a pork stewed vermicelli.

The fourth master smiled: "I think this pork stewed vermicelli is still the most authentic made by the secretary." ”

While eating, I reminisced about the people and things of the year. The two of them went to the movies.

Now a movie costs two cents. But there are really not many people watching.

It took a little time to spend money on popcorn, so by the time I went in, the intro was already over.

There weren't many people inside, and there were a few people sitting around.

Halfway through the movie, many people left one after another.

Lin Yutong doesn't think it's good-looking, and the films he makes now seem to be for winning awards at foreign film festivals. The average person can't understand the meaning of this thing.

Anyway, Lin Yutong is not a person who understands literature and art, and he is confused. As for whether the fourth master understands or not, Lin Yutong really can't see it.

The two of them didn't come out until the end of the movie, and they all went in to rest.

"Nowadays, TVs are getting better and better, from small to big, from black and white to color. It's not going to be easy in this movie theater either. The fourth master glanced back at the movie theater, "At that time, when I watched the tunnel war and the white-haired girl, the movie theater was so hot." ”

Lin Yutong smiled: "You said that how good it was to buy movie tickets in the past, but now I am afraid that I will not be able to send the tickets." ”
