"Yan, wake up, you have a fever, I have paracetamol, get up and take medicine. ”

Zhang Yan opened her eyes with great effort, feeling that she was sitting in the train, the carriage was swaying, clanging and clanging, and the surroundings were crowded with people, a little girl was sitting next to her, shaking her arm vigorously, the girl was wearing a big red cotton jacket, she looked smart, she looked very familiar, and looked at her anxiously with big eyes.

"Plum?"

"Yan, are you awake?"

Zhang Yan's heart was full of shock, this is really a plum, such a young plum! She slowly lowered her head, looked at her clothes, and then looked at her hands, no calluses, no scars, such young hands!

It seems that she is really back, back to 2001!

This year, she was seventeen years old, because she had no money to pay tuition fees and went to school late, just graduated from junior high school, there were several girls as old as her in several villages before and after, they were introduced to work in the factory together, because it was the first year to go out, and there was no experience in buying tickets, she and Zhang Mei easily bought a standing ticket from the scalpers, although it was a little expensive, but the people in the same village took the car back, and she and Zhang Mei could only grit their teeth and buy it.

One of them carried a large backpack of labor cloth, and a large bag full of things in her hands, crowded at the junction of the two carriages, she fell asleep too soundly, and the cold wind poured into the night, and she had a high fever halfway.

Unexpectedly, she returned to this time, she didn't drag herself into an old girl, she didn't marry a scumbag, and she didn't have a ghost or a ghost! A big pie fell from the sky, and Zhang Yan was in ecstasy, and after so many years, she finally felt what it was like to be happy again.

"Yan, what are you smiling at, take the medicine quickly!" Zhang Mei interrupted Zhang Yan's contemplation, put the medicine in her hand, and broke a piece of cake for her, they were already out of water, and they were reluctant to spend money on the train, so they could only use the cake to deliver the medicine.

Zhang Yan took the medicine, her head was still dizzy, she leaned on Zhang Mei in a daze, and her mood couldn't calm down for a long time.

Speaking of which, Zhang Yan is most envious of Meizi, when she got off the train, she and Meizi squeezed into the bus from the city railway station to the county seat, but the result was unlucky, met a thief, the money of the two people was turned over, Meizi was shocked and angry, sick for several days, but her parents were distressed, and never let her go out to work, Meizi played at home for more than a year, listened to the family's arrangement, married a down-to-earth and capable young man, and lived a smooth life.

And what about her, the money was lost, not to mention being beaten, her mother also brainwashed her, suing her that it was not good to get married early, only in ancient times the old feudalism married her daughter early, and anyone who loved her daughter would not let her daughter go to someone else's house early to suffer. She is also stupid, she didn't think that her father was patriarchal, her mother was even more excessive than her father, how could she not be selfish.

She always thought that she was biological, and her parents would not harm her, so she was very stupid to believe the words of the two, seeing that Meizi got married early, and felt sorry for her to deal with her in-laws' family at a young age, and even felt sorry for her, alas, I really don't want to mention these past events with my brain in water, and I can't be stupid anymore this time.

"Yan, don't sleep, look, we're going to the station!

Zhang Mei was obviously very excited, stood up and carried the big bag in her hand, Zhang Yan didn't dare to delay, picked up her luggage and followed Meizi to the door of the carriage, as soon as the car stopped, they poured out with the crowd.

Leaving the crowded carriage, the cold air rushed over, shivering from the cold, Zhang Yan hugged the long and thick scarf, touched her waist without a trace, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she touched the hard piece, fortunately, the money is still there! But you have to save it first.

Zhang Yan approached Zhang Mei and asked her in a low voice, "Meizi, let's save the money and go home, there are too many thieves!"

Zhang Mei didn't care, "We just graduated this year, we came out for half a year, and we don't know how to make sewing machines, we have no money in the first month, and we only earned a total of more than 2,000 in the next few months, it's not worth depositing in the bank, besides, it's almost home, not looking for trouble." ”

"Let's go! There is a CCB next to it, just accompany me, let's open an account with our ID card, save it and then go home, otherwise we will lose it, I haven't sent it for a year, the most critical point, you know, if I don't save it, my mother will definitely take it away, and don't leave me a penny. ”

Zhang Mei is the youngest daughter of the family, an elder brother and two sisters, although she is spoiled, her temperament is not strong, she is a person who is not very good at taking ideas and is easy to be persuaded by others, she saw Zhang Yan insisting, and quickly nodded in agreement.

The two of them went to the nearby CCB to open an account, saved the money, and carried their baggage to squeeze the bus.

"Hey, Zhang Mei, Zhang Yan, wait a minute!"

"Jiang Tao, why are you here?"

It was Jiang Tao who called people, he came back from working in other places half a month earlier, tinkered with a shelf by himself, and stayed outside the train station to sell snacks, peanuts, melon seeds, candy and the like.

He and Zhang Mei's eldest brother are classmates, often go to Zhang Mei's house to play, are more familiar with Zhang Mei, and have seen Zhang Yan a few times, barely able to recognize them, and when they saw the two of them carrying and carrying, he beckoned them over.

"It's not safe to be a bus, there are a lot of thieves this year, many people carry knives with them, when the car is walking, the knife is shown, the driver is not allowed to stop and no one is allowed to call the police, and then one by one to search things, don't give it to work! You two little girls are too dangerous to go together, call the family to pick up, otherwise, you two wait for me for a while, I will sell things again, and go back with you. ”

Zhang Yan remembered it as soon as he heard him, but no, several people in the village have met him, usually fine, just during the Chinese New Year, the thieves were the most rampant, and later they came back from work, both men and women were chartered home, but she was not familiar with Jiang Tao, and it was not easy to reply, so she turned her head to look at Zhang Mei.

Zhang Mei was a little hesitant, not that she doubted Jiang Tao's words, but she felt that it was not easy to trouble him, compared to Zhang Tao's family background, it was not easy to come out to do some small business, she shook her head and refused: "Brother Jiang Tao, we still don't bother you to do business, I won't be so unlucky to meet Yanzi." ”

Jiang Tao was a few years older than them, how could he not understand the little girl's thin skin, and laughed heartily: "You little guy, you are polite to me, since you call me brother, then you have to listen to me, so it's decided, let's go back together, otherwise you can go back by yourself, let your brother know, and don't worry about me." ”

"Ah, is that okay, and won't delay your business? Swallow, what do you say?"

"Otherwise, just listen to Brother Jiang Tao, let's put the things next to the stall, help sell them together, and go home early after selling them early." ”

Jiang Tao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard them agree, and he didn't expect them to help, who knew that as soon as Zhang Yan asked the price, he began to shout.

"Walk by, don't miss it, melon seeds and peanut candy are sold cheaply, come and see! Don't miss it, melon seeds and peanut candy are sold cheaply!"

A guy came up with a plastic bag and said, "How are you selling this?"

Zhang Yan saw him coming, and he had already packed it quickly, "Big brother, look at it, such a big bag, it's only ten yuan, buy a bag, it's not easy to work hard for a year, go home for the New Year, bring something to your wife and children, and when you think about them, let them be happy." ”

"Ten dollars?" The young man hesitated a little, as if he felt a little too much.

"Isn't it just a fun New Year, it's only this time a year, what's reluctant, the child follows you all the way, you didn't buy anything, how disappointed the child is, big brother, let's tell you the truth, we are in a hurry to go home for the New Year, this is cheaper, or, you buy a bag of melon seeds, and I will give you a small bag of peanuts?" Zhang Yan said and filled a bag of peanuts in the smallest bag, and handed it over with the big bag of melon seeds, "Peanuts supplement the brain, children eat smart, sister-in-law eats well, buy one get one free, you see how cost-effective, just buy it!"

When the young man saw that she gave peanuts again, he probably thought it was cost-effective, and he was embarrassed to be persuaded by her, so he paid for it quickly.

As soon as they said and persuaded, several people had stopped around to watch, and an elderly man came over: "You little girl is too good at talking, so buy a bag of melon seeds and send a bag of peanuts, can you give it away?"

The peanuts are fried in the shell, they look big, and it doesn't take much to grab a small bag, which is also the reason why Zhang Yan made the decision to give it away just now, but this is not her own business after all, Zhang Yan will send it back, and she can't call the shots below, so she turned around and looked at Jiang Tao.

Jiang Tao and Zhang Mei were already stunned from the sidelines, and they couldn't be surprised at the moment. Of course he agreed, in fact, the melon seeds and sugar were bought by him, and the peanuts were fried by his grandmother herself from the peanuts planted in his field, which were not worth a few dollars, and he was willing to send a handful of peanuts to sell a large bag of melon seeds.

However, the words still have to be said nicely: "Uncle, this is a peanut from all over the world, spiced, but delicious! Adults and children like to eat, not to mention sending it before, even the price reduction has not been dropped, today is not my sister just came back from a part-time job, we are in a hurry to go home, deal with it at a loss, and reduce the price this time." ”

"Then, bring me a pack, just like the man just now. ”

"Okay!"

"Then weigh me a packet and give me peanuts. ”

"I want a pack too!"

Jiang Tao's business has never been so good, Zhang Yan helped shout, Zhang Mei was responsible for bagging and weighing, Jiang Tao collected money to find money, and sold melon seeds and peanuts in less than an hour, leaving a little bottom, he divided the things and gave them to Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei, and the three of them bargained and chartered an older car to go home.

"I said, girl, you can! I didn't expect you to shout and shout, and Zhang Mei, thank you so much today!"

"I'm not helping, the main thing is that Yanzi is amazing, that's it, Yan, I didn't expect you to be so capable!"

Zhang Yan was embarrassed to be praised, and managed to change the topic, the three of them talked and laughed, time passed quickly, Jiang Tao arrived at the place where he got off the car, he insisted on paying the car money, and the car continued to drive, and it didn't take long for Zhangjiacun to arrive, Zhang Yan and Zhang Mei got off the car with their things.

Looking at the old village in her memory, Zhang Yan was very nervous, and she didn't know what kind of mood to use to face the so-called family.
