Chapter 1 Don't be rich and don't return to your hometown?

(Embark on a new journey, crying, laughing and touching on the way, and you and me, looking forward to meeting you unexpectedly...... ）

In August, on a long-distance transport truck from Qilian County, Qinghai Province to Xining, Zhao Izuxi, a man who had lived in a small mountain village called Fenghuang Village in the depths of the Qilian Mountains for more than 20 years, finally chose to leave the mountains and head to the big city that a woman who has been teaching in Fenghuang Village for a year and a half often says. Zhao Izumi is an orphan with no big ideals or ambitions, and like most men who go out of the mountains, he just wants to make more money.

In fact, everyone in the village knows that Zhao Izumi is a treacherous and lazy person, and finally made up his mind to leave Phoenix Village, where he gave birth to him and raised him for more than 20 years. The people in the village didn't say anything, but they all knew it in their hearts, but they just secretly stuffed the dry food they saved into Zhao Izuxi's canvas bag, and even the old village chief, who looked down on Zhao Izumi the most, stuffed two bags of Lanzhou that he was reluctant to smoke in a small town dozens of kilometers away.

The night before leaving, Zhao didn't sleep all night and chatted with the woman all night in the dilapidated school halfway up the mountain. said that it was a school, but in fact, it was only a few tiled houses that were built by raising funds from the village, and the national flag that the woman bought by herself on the vacant land, which was the first time Zhao Izuxi saw the national flag in his life, and every time he could sit on the mound and stare at the national flag for half an hour.

As for the real reason for walking out of the mountain, only that woman knows......

Xining is the closest big city to Qilian County, Zhao Izumi knew that it was the capital of Qinghai Province, how big a big city is, Zhao Izumi couldn't think of an appearance with his daydreaming brain every day, this is the sadness of a little person like him. Sitting in the carriage of Shaanxi Automobile heavy truck transport truck full of mountain goods, Zhao Izumi was very unqualified, spit out of the car, and scolded in dialect, "It's special, it's bigger than Qilian County."

The rolling Qilian Mountains went farther and farther, and Zhao Izuxi, who thought he had no heart and lungs, became more and more lost, and when the Qilian Mountains completely disappeared in front of him and could no longer be seen, Zhao Izumi simply closed his eyes and slept. He knew that he didn't know that he could return to Phoenix Village in the Year of the Monkey.

Maybe it was because he didn't sleep all night last night, Zhao Izumi fell asleep quickly, in his sleep, he dreamed that he made a lot of money in the big city, drove more than a dozen cars back to Phoenix Village, the old village chief who had always looked down on him and the villagers who always scolded him behind his back and poked his backbone nodded at him, he waved his hand and built a hope primary school in the village, and then went to find the woman to fulfill his promise, but he couldn't find her no matter how he looked for it, he suddenly understood that she didn't belong to Phoenix Village, nor did he belong to him.

When Zhao Izumi woke up, it was already dusk, and he tried hard to open his eyes when the sun was shining, remembering the dream just now, Zhao Izumi couldn't help but scold himself in his heart, damn it, you still drive a car, and it is estimated that the car did not enter the village and went over the ravine.

Zhao Izumi shook his head, stupidly smiled, casually raised his head and was ready to stretch, only to suddenly find that the surrounding environment had already changed, the high-rise buildings in the distance replaced the endless mountains, and the luxury cars around him were speeding by, Zhao Izumi eagerly wanted to know what kind of place this was, and hurriedly stood up and looked around, when he happened to see the word Xining in the distance, Zhao Izumi suddenly quiet, stupidly holding on to the mountain pile and looking at everything unfamiliar around him, muttering to himself" This is the big city? ”

There are surprises, there are disappointments, and more anticipation......

Zhao Izumi suddenly shouted stupidly, "Big city, I'm coming"

Such a shocking behavior, coupled with the tattered clothes like a homeless man, naturally got the eyes of pedestrians on the road looking at monsters, and even more disdainfully scolding turtles, mountain artillery, and stupidity.

Zhao Izumi didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued to giggle unscrupulously.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Fenghuang Village, a woman with a ponytail was sitting in front of the dilapidated school on the mountainside, looking at the sunset that was about to set on the horizon and smiling faintly.

In the past, at this time of the day, there was always a man who would bring her food, and the woman remembered it very clearly, unless the man went to Qilian County. It's just that the man didn't come today, and the woman also knew that he would never come again, thinking of what the man said to her last night, the woman couldn't help but talk to herself, but the vulgar temperament was incompatible with the surrounding environment, like a white lotus flower with a breeze.

The city is very large, just like the Qilian Mountains, Zhao Izumi can't see the edge even if he tries hard, more than half an hour later, Zhao Izumi slowly familiarized himself with this strange everything, took out the most ordinary Lanzhou stuffed by the old village chief, and smoked unscrupulously, he was a little confused, I don't know how he can gain a foothold in this city, how he can earn a lot of money. He was very messy, and he promised her that he would never break his promise, otherwise those children in the village would have no teachers, and not everyone liked the place where birds don't in Phoenix Village.

It was already more than nine o'clock when it was completely dark in Xining, and Shaanxi Automobile Heavy Truck finally arrived at the foothold of Xining, a freight transfer station. The driver of the big truck is from Sichuan, a mouthful of Trump makes Zhao Izumi seem to understand, although he himself learns Mandarin with women is more forceful, sometimes he has to guess when he hears a broken dialect, Zhao Izumi calls him Brother Wang, and the driver who follows the car is Brother Wang's son who goes to college, two years younger than Zhao Izui, Zhao Izumi calls him Xiao Wang, just like his father, the dark-skinned and thin Xiao Wang just smiled slightly, not much to say, but Zhao Izumi felt that the father and son were not like each other at all, Xiao Wang had a unique temperament, and his eyes were very clear. The father and son are both responsible people, and they do not have the slightest disdain for Zhao Izuxi, the dirt bun in the mountains, because Brother Wang often follows his boss to several counties near Qilian to collect mountain goods and knows the old village chief, so this time Zhao Izumi went out of the mountain to take a ride.

The freight transfer station is very large, there are dozens of large and small long-distance transport vehicles, people from all over the country have it, this can be seen from the license plate of each freight truck, although Zhao Izushi has not gone to school, but he is literate, and he knows the province represented by each license plate. The only knowledge he had in his stomach was taught by three people, and the old monk on the other mountain was counted as one, but unfortunately he had been dead for several years. A certain man who once came to Phoenix Village is counted as one, and it seems that he has never seen this man again, and she is naturally the most embarrassed.

After getting out of the car, Zhao took out the old village chief's Lanzhou and handed it to Brother Wang, not one but a whole box, you must know that Lu Dao is famous in Fenghuang Village, stingy and stingy, only in and out of the door, he was only willing to smoke one, and smashed it. He understands this point of the truth of living in the world, not to mention that before leaving the mountain, the woman told him that it is better to pay more and suffer more losses without asking for returns, and it is best to be less greedy and complain less and be content and happy. Zhao Izumi thought that if he wanted to achieve the realm that women said, he would have to cultivate for decades.

Brother Wang insisted on not wanting it at first, but after two resignations, he still took it, after all, he was an ordinary little person. It was already completely dark, Brother Wang went to the freight station to check in, and Zhao Izushi and Xiao Wang squatted in front of the car to smoke and chat, except for the two Hui men who were going back and forth nearby, few people paid attention to them.

Zhao Izumi knew that Xiao Wang was a college student, as if he was a student of Sichuan Normal University, and the three words of college student alone were enough to make Zhao Izushi, who had never been to school, envious for eight lifetimes. Xiao Wang was also very interested in Zhao Izu, who was out of the mountain for the first time, and asked thoughtfully, "Izumi, what are your plans next?" ”

Zhao Izumi was stunned, this question made him think for a few seconds, and finally gave a general answer, two words "make money"

"Don't you say this? You have to have a plan to be a person and do everything, otherwise you will always do nothing, and you can't make a lot of money if you make a little money" Xiao Wang took a puff of cigarette and said with a little hatred that iron is not made of steel, these teachers taught him what they taught him according to the book, and he finally had the opportunity to teach others.

Zhao Izumi smiled stupidly, secretly extinguished the cigarette that he only smoked twice, and did not refute, as long as he could make a lot of money, let him do anything, but he couldn't do anything that violated the law and discipline, this was warned by the woman, and the woman said that if she knew the truth, she would personally send him to prison and lock him up for life. When the woman spoke, Zhao Izumi muttered in her heart, I'm not in Phoenix Village, how do you know the way?

"Then you talk about your plan, I'll think about it again," Zhao Izumi finally held back a sentence after a long time.

Xiao Wang straightened his chest, as if he was very sacred at the moment, looked at the sky, and said with a smile, "After graduating from the undergraduate graduate school entrance examination, after the postgraduate examination, I will strive to take the civil service examination, if I can't pass the examination, I will work in a state-owned enterprise, and I really can't choose foreign capital again, and the last is a private enterprise." I worked hard for a few years, saved money to buy a house and a car, and finally got married and had children."

Zhao Izumi was stunned when he heard this, and he seemed to be very cranky, but he said strangely, "Work, marriage and childbirth are not all necessary, and you still use a plan?" ”

Xiao Wang, who was very satisfied with his plan just now, was instantly dumbfounded by Zhao Izui's seemingly unintentional words, and lowered his head in contemplation.

A few minutes later, Brother Wang came back after completing the formalities, and they had to wait for the boss's other batch of goods to arrive, so they stayed for one night. Zhao Izumi was a little dazed, he didn't know where he was going, he only had a few hundred yuan in his pocket, and in the strange city of Xining, he didn't even know anyone. Brother Wang saw Zhao Izui's predicament, and asked in a low voice, "Nowhere to go?" ”

Zhao Izumi nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "I'll go around the neighborhood for a while, just find a place for one night, and get up tomorrow morning to find a job."

Brother Wang and Zhao Izumi are not related, so there is no need to care about him, but for the sake of the old village chief and the bag of Lanzhou, he decided, "Anyway, where the general will be, you will be in the car all night, just to help me keep an eye on the goods, I heard that the goods are often lost."

When Zhao Izumi heard this, he hurriedly thanked him, and then Brother Wang took Xiao Wang and Zhao Izumi to eat a bowl of ramen at a nearby noodle restaurant. After eating noodles, Brother Wang arranged for Zhao to rest, and then went to the guest house of the freight station with Xiao Wang to rest. The temperature difference between day and night in Xining is very large, and the summer night is a little cold, so Zhao Izushi tossed a kennel to block the wind by relying on the carriage on three sides.

After cleaning up, maybe it was because he slept in the car for too long during the day, and Zhao Izuxi, who was lying in the carriage smoking at the moment, couldn't sleep, didn't Zhao Izumi really have his own so-called livelihood plan?

He clearly remembered what the man said to him when he was six years old, how could the eldest husband be willing to be mediocre?

After the old monk settled in the earth, he wanted to leave Phoenix Village, which did not belong to him. Her arrival disrupted his plans, and the child's death made him determined to leave.

Thinking about a lot of things, in the past, in the future, Zhao Izumi told himself that it was time to say goodbye to the past, extinguished the cigarette butt, and looked at the unfamiliar city with the lights, Zhao Izumi squinted his eyes and said to himself.

Not rich, not returning home?
