On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the snow finally stopped for a week, early in the morning, Feng's mother went out to the vegetable market, Feng Wei'an and his son shoveled snow downstairs against a shovel, yesterday the old man Xiao upstairs took the puppy down and walked around a few times, and as a result, he fell the snow, after everyone sent the old man to the hospital, it was agreed that the big guys would deal with the snow on the road under the building today.

The temperature is still very low, and the ice under the snow is sticking to the road, and you can't shovel it up without smashing it. Feng Yiming has never done farm work since he was a child, he is working hard with a shovel, he is tired and sweating profusely and has not shoveled much, and his father and a few teachers on the side have already crossed his position several times.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, and was about to continue working, when suddenly a hand stretched out from the side and snatched the shovel, Feng Yiming turned his head and saw his cousin Li Yu and his aunt behind him.

"Yiming, let your cousin do it, he has this strength. My aunt greeted her. When I was a child, my parents were not at home every winter and summer vacation, and my aunt took me home and didn't send them back until school was about to start, so among the relatives in my hometown, my aunt's family was the closest to me.

Li Yu went to secondary school after graduating from junior high school, but the children in the countryside are able to work in the fields, watching Li Yu's hands and feet neat, he quickly caught up with the team, Feng Yiming greeted his father, and went home with his aunt first.

After a while, Feng Wei'an and Li Yu, who were steaming above their heads, came back, Feng Yiming made two cups of tea, added water to his aunt's teacup, and sat quietly on the side.

As soon as Li Yu took a sip of tea, he took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it over, "Yiming, press the New Year's money, don't be too little, take it, I heard that my grades have improved a lot this semester." ”

My aunt also took out a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into her nephew's hand together, "Study hard, take the high school entrance examination well, and then go to Kyoto for the college entrance examination." Don't be like your cousin, you don't study well, it's hard to find a job now. ”

Feng Yiming smiled shyly, stuffed the red envelope into his pocket, looked at Li Yu, who was a little embarrassed, and didn't speak.

While chatting, Feng's mother rushed back with vegetables, and when she entered the door, she complained to her husband, "Let you buy more vegetables and put them in the refrigerator before the year, you see, today's order has more than doubled compared to usual." ”

My aunt knew Feng's mother when she was a child, and later became a relative, and the relationship has always been very good, so she went up to take the food basket and comforted, "What's the use of you and Wei'an talking about this, you don't necessarily have the next kitchen after a year, where do you know this." ”

Seeing the elders sit down and chatter, Feng Yiming pulled Li Yu and went to the balcony with a teacup.

As soon as Li Yu entered the balcony, he stretched his waist, looking like he had escaped from the abyss, Feng Yiming was a little funny, his cousin was afraid of Feng Wei'an with a beard since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he was almost 30 years old now, and his children were in elementary school, so he was still so afraid.

Li Yu took out another red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it to his cousin, "Don't say that your cousin doesn't care about you, put it away." Feng Yiming knew at a young age that the red envelopes for the New Year were all unconditionally handed over, and unlike other people's families, Feng's mother didn't even have the comfort of "saving a daughter-in-law for you". Therefore, when the red envelopes were collected during the Chinese New Year, relatives with good relations would divide the red envelopes into two parts.

Feng Yiming turned out the red envelope, opened it and glanced at it, 30 yuan. Li Yu smiled embarrassedly, "Don't be too little, I went to Yangcheng for a year to know how difficult life is." ”

"I know that in two years, colleges and universities across the country will cancel the allocation, and they will all find jobs on their own, which will be more difficult at that time. ”

Li Yuchang sighed, "Yes, now in the factory, you can get that little money a month, and if you save it in normal times, it will be a little better than in the brewery." As he spoke, he raised his right thumb to sign.

Feng Yiming asked, "What kind of work is my cousin doing in the factory now?" I remember that you studied finance at a secondary school?"

Li Yu shook his head, "In the factory, he is a stocker, and to put it bluntly, he is a coolie." However, there are many Qingping people in the factory, and the boss and vice president are all Qingping people. ”

Feng Yiming knew that his cousin came up step by step because of the nepotism of his fellow countrymen, and after going to SH, he was regarded as a prince of the company, but he didn't expect that his cousin, who had just entered the factory, was not appreciated at all. But it's not surprising that my cousin has a low education, and if it weren't for a long time of contact and a good understanding of his abilities and personality, even if there was nepotism, he wouldn't have been promoted.

Feng Yiming was a little sure in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Cousin, do you remember what I said on the phone that day?"

Li Yu looked at his cousin strangely, "Remember, what kind of friend is yours?"

"Cousin, you've been in Yangcheng for almost a year, have you ever been to an Internet café?"

Li Yu's eyes lit up a little, "I've been there a few times, there is one at the gate of the factory, what's the matter, your friend wants to open an Internet café in Qingping?"

Feng Yiming nodded, "The Internet café came from Taiwan, Hong Kong, it was originally called an Internet café, it was a place to drink coffee and surf the Internet, but now it has been transmitted to the mainland, but the taste has changed a little, what is the main thing in the Internet café in Yangcheng now?"

Feng Yiming remembered that since the second half of 1999, in addition to QQ online chat, red alert, interstellar, imperial era, counter-strike these stand-alone games were extremely popular, and two years later, the legend really opened the curtain of the era of online games in Chinese mainland.

Li Yu was a little hesitant, he actually went to an Internet café with his fellow countrymen once, he didn't know how to play, 4 yuan per hour, it was a bit expensive for him, and after several times the fellow called him, he made excuses to excuse himself.

Feng Yiming continued, "Basically, they are stand-alone game bars, the most significant change brought by Internet cafes is that there are more and more people playing games, this industry is basically blank in Qingpu now, there are only two Internet cafes in the city, one of which is still a black Internet café, a total of more than 20 machines." ”

Looking at his silent cousin, Feng Yiming knew that the other party was a little moved, "Brother Li Yu, if you are doing management work in the factory, and there is a channel for salary increases in the future, even if the salary is low, it can be regarded as experience and work experience." But now since you are not doing well in Yangcheng, and your sister-in-law is also in Qingping, it is better to come back, if you can't do this, you will not delay much time when you go back to Yangcheng. ”

"But I left my job after less than a year, and it was my classmates who introduced me to ...... at that time."

Feng Yiming smiled, "People go to high places, and water flows to low places." Brother Li Yu, even if the Internet café does not do well in the end, at least after a few months, it can be regarded as having a qualification to find a job, which is better than the qualifications of being a stocker in the factory. ”

The words have already been said and done, Feng Yiming stopped speaking, took out his cigarette case, and there were large and small smoke rings floating on the balcony that had quieted down.

Li Yu was silent for a while, and then said in a slur manner, "Your friend wants me to take care of things?"

Feng Yiming said with a smile, "Of course, and the situation is good, it is likely that there is more than one store." ”

Li Yu was a little puzzled, "Yiming, you know me, I will definitely do my best to do things, but this is in charge, can I do it with my ability? Besides, who is your friend, are you willing to rest assured that you will arrange people?"

Feng Yiming smiled mysteriously, extinguished the cigarette butt, and pulled Li Yu into the bedroom.
