Chapter 221: A Life
The little boy's name is Chen Rui, he was born in the countryside, and his parents work in the big city all the year round, so the little boy can be said to be raised by his grandmother, I am afraid that in the heart of this child, there is no concept of parents.
After the grandmother died, the family next door took in the little boy for a while, until the little boy's parents rushed back from the city.
During this period of time, Su Qiran followed the little boy to understand everything about this different world.
This place does not belong to the Star Bamboo Empire, nor does it belong to the Land of Chaos...... It's a whole new world.
The people here have a completely different life, there is no difference between the extraordinary and the ordinary, and there is no class difference between the nobles and the commoners.
But it's not really a fair place either.
There is still a gap between the rich and the poor and differences in ability in this world. It's just that it's not as exaggerated as the world where Su Qiran was originally located.
There is no magic here, everything here comes from [science].
Su Qiran's all this is also known through a machine called [TV], I have to say that the humans in this world are more creative, and they can almost replicate the effects of all magic through various machines......
There are hundreds of countries in this world, and each country has its own customs and culture, and even in the country where the little boy is located, the customs and culture of the north and south of the country are also different.
Compared to the original world, this place is more colorful.
With my parents, whom I hadn't seen a few times since I was born, I took a day's train ride to a small city in the south.
On the bus, Chen Rui curiously leaned his head against the window glass, watching the high-rise buildings that he had only seen on TV pass by with the backward scenery.
The mother sat beside Chen Rui, wanting to hug the child she hadn't seen for a long time, but her trembling hand couldn't reach out.
My father sat in the front row, writing and drawing in a notebook.
"Rui, we originally planned to wait until you were old enough to go to elementary school before bringing you to the city. ”
The mother wanted to find a topic to open up the gap between the child and herself, but Chen Rui shrank her body a little deeper into the seat...... For him, the appearance and concept of his mother are blurred, and he does not know how to get along with his mother.
Mother's heart hurt again, if Chen Rui showed a little hostility or hatred for her, it would not be so uncomfortable, Chen Rui's eyes were at a loss and afraid at this time...... It's as if the two were just strangers with no connection.
After saying nothing all the way, after getting off the bus from a certain station, his parents led Chen Rui to a construction site, and there was a shed behind the construction site, which was Chen Rui's [new home], which was the best configuration for migrant workers who were far away from home and came to the city to work. "Xiaorui, this is your new home. Mother tried to make her smile as gentle as she could. Chen Rui nodded meekly and obediently. The shed is divided into many rooms, and there are nearly 100 workers living in this small area, and the space allocated to Chen Rui and his family is only about 20 square meters...... The only piece of furniture in the house is a hardwood bed, with folded and smelly quilts stacked on top of each other.
"Xiaorui, you stay at home alone and don't go anywhere, Mom and Dad are going out to work, and Mom will come back in the evening. ”
Chen Rui was stunned and looked around, this narrow, cloudy house didn't look like home at all.......
The home in my memory is my grandmother's yard, and every evening my grandmother will lie on the chair and tell him stories. The brilliant sunset dyed the sky red, and there were still late returnees busy in the fields in the distance, and when I recalled these images, my grandmother's unhurried voice seemed to still linger in my ears.
That's why did mom and dad get out of there, why did they have to come to the city?
Chen Rui sat on a very unfamiliar bed, staring at the incandescent light bulb on the low ceiling in a daze.
Su Qiran silently accepted all the emotions that Chen Rui unconsciously conveyed, and in a trance, the deepest things in his memory also surged.
Su Qiran was also born in an unknown small mountain village in the Xingzhu Empire, and at that time, the popularity of magic guidance technology was not widespread, and only a small part of the big cities and surrounding areas enjoyed the convenience brought by magic guidance technology...... The village where Su Qiran was born was too remote, which led to a rather backward life.
At that time, the peasants could only make a living by farming, and the life of sunrise and sunset was boring and hard...... But no one can break free, after all, everyone has to survive.
The family is all borne by the father alone, and the elderly grandparents and the frail mother are unable to share the burden of farm work for the father...... And it was at that time that a group of merchants came to the village.
They said that they were sponsoring the gifted children of this village to go to the nearby big cities to practice...... will also give a certain amount of money to each of the participating families, so although the group of people looked very unreliable, his father still sent Su Qiran to the carriage of the group.
Then Su Qiran was sent to the underground assembly as a "slave", and finally was rescued by the Second Sage in the process of being resold several times.
It turns out that the people at the bottom of every world live so hard.
——
——
Time flies quickly, and Su Qiran spends every day with Chen Rui in this very strange state, witnessing Chen Rui's every step of growth, and also going through a completely different life again.
Time changes everything.
The poor parents worked hard to send Chen Rui to a nearby primary school, so the parents worked late every day, they both worked more than two jobs, got up in a hurry at 6 o'clock in the morning, and returned after 12 o'clock in the evening, and fell asleep as soon as they got into bed.
So even though they live under the same roof, there is almost no contact between Chen Rui and his parents.
As Chen Rui grew up, he also made many friends in school, and his withdrawn personality gradually improved......
After entering high school, relying on the state's financial aid program for poor students, even though the tuition fees were high, Chen Rui had a very difficult time finishing high school.
Along the way, Chen Rui has been willful and rebellious like an ordinary child, and has quarreled with his parents who are busy all day long, and even had mild depression for a period of time because of his low self-esteem from a poor background......
But there are also many people who are changing him and helping him.
The care and understanding of teachers in middle school, the encouragement of a few good friends, and the selfless dedication of parents......
Chen Rui finally graduated from a decent university, and he finally understood why his parents left their rural hometown and came to this big city to suffer.
It's all about creating better conditions for children...... Or to put it another way, they don't want Chen Rui to stay in the poor mountains and wilderness for the rest of his life, the outside world is very vast, and as parents, they want to give their children a chance to get in touch with the outside world.
