The sycamore is facing the exit of the torii at the entrance of the village; Like a central axis, the middle is a field, separated by hundreds of meters.

In a southern village with the same surname within 1,000 people, a newly renovated cement road connecting the village is the exit to the outside world; The most dazzling building at the entrance of the village is a hundred-year-old archway, although it is a little dilapidated, but it has a history of hundreds of years next to it, and it is still majestic, standing more than 10 meters high 6-storey small ancient tower, which adds one of the few last traces of the ancient village to the whole village.

The most lively are the public hall, the feng shui pool, the cement floor in front of the public hall, and the buildings that remain in the Qing Dynasty...... Zong's ancestral hall (public hall), make it nondescript, the carved dragon and phoenix have been repainted, the eaves and walls have been overhauled and repaired, the villagers are very interested, and they gather together to play after farming.

The old man among them, full of spirits and kind eyes, shouted at the audience to bet: "Everyone invests ......"

Among them, there are many "heavyweight" figures, outside the crowd of onlookers, there is a middle-aged man with a big belly, a thick necklace, a jade ring, and a boss, shouting, "Third master, I'm here to earn your money......

Who's coming?

Running out of the rivers and lakes, doing big business, the nickname is Piglet, but that is the old Huang Li in the past, everyone calls him "the big boss", the old man is the brother of the grandfather of the big boss, no matter how rich the big boss is, the third master grew up with his bare buttocks.

"Welcome to invest, you're welcome!" "Persuade gambling and don't persuade to drink (wine), there is no father and son in the casino", "The big boss of the family has chartered him, and he will open a ......"

The crowd chattered.

"What's the mess with the little piglet...... The third master held three dice in his hand, playing with them in his hand, and didn't throw them for a long time.

More than ten people gathered in a circle, and a large porcelain bowl with soup in the snack bar was placed in the middle...... Uniform...... Kill ......"

Unexpectedly, it didn't go as the third master wanted, and played a "1, 2, 3".

Craps is a game of three dice, with the number of points of "two to one", whoever is bigger wins; The countryside is simple, and even gambling with a small amount of money is much fairer, which is the true character of the countryside.

If the dealer hits all the same points (three dice with the same points, such as all three points, it is "all the same"), but if the awl is played (the three dice are "1, 2, 3"), then the dealer pays out; The second lift "1" is also the smallest, "awl".

Therefore, the third master lost miserably and fell on the pile.

"The third master is stepping down!" Someone shouted, and the third master was not angry, he was willing to gamble and lose, the rules of the game.

Most of the people left behind are the "99, 38, and 61" groups, most of the elderly, women, and children, who have no much entertainment and entertain themselves. This is the only entertainment that everyone can get together.

This is similar to square dancing, where the harmony and tranquility of the countryside bring a touch of vitality, and the only thing that remains is passion and mania.

"This is our life, little piglet, you can't understand it......" the third master muttered.

The big boss smiled, "Each has his own life, the old have fun, and good things ......"

"Let's make more money...... Smoking ......" big boss to the older men present to the "Hibiscus King" cigarettes, the elderly in the countryside generally smoke low-grade cigarettes, high-end cigarettes only outsiders are filial piety to be addicted, I feel that it is a great enjoyment, plus the supreme face is enough! The receivers grinned back, which was regarded as accepting the kindness of the smoker.

When he arrived at Jiafeng, the hand of the big boss who handed over the cigarette skipped over.

With oriental colors, Chinese characteristics, the most "face" view of human affection, the scene in full swing, but Jiafeng is like a cold wave.

Jiafeng's hand was not stretched out, because Jiafeng maintained the true character of a good student, and he didn't smoke at all, but he felt stinging, this is the face of people, sensitive, in the countryside, the blood is strong, and the hope of the future is cold, but he is treated coldly in his hometown, can he still stay?

This is the faint pain in Jiafeng's heart......

Who is the big boss?

It is also said that he was born hard, not yet born, when he was in his mother's womb, his parents divorced, he was raised by a widow and a mother, he was born in the army, he practiced a good hand, he was the first batch of people to break into South China, he opened a hotel outside, he was naturally familiar with all kinds of entertainment, and he would not be interested in small fights in the countryside, so he was not a price drop?

I took a look at a huge plane tree behind it, towering and straight, the crown of the tree is as high as more than 20 meters, it is the "crown" of the plane tree, the old man in the village said that this tree can bless the people who go out to be promoted and make a fortune all their wishes come true, so the village has always cherished the history of the sycamore.

Every time the big boss comes back, he has to worship this sacred tree, but the sycamore is not a cash cow after all, and most of them can only shelter one side of the peace, such as being able to reproduce offspring and grow endlessly.

History is a lesson, although people look down on me, I need to look down on myself, otherwise how can I live?

When the big boss left, he returned to the noise and continued, the third master fell, and the uncle who released the fish, the old brother who opened the slaughter (selling pork), and the young staff also took turns to sit in the village.

The tall young man came, stabbed Jiafeng, "play a little ......"

Jiafeng took out the twenty yuan he had saved in his pocket, and he was going to break the ring today; When returning home, although Jiafeng is a member of the society and an "unemployed vagrant", in the past, he was deprived of the right to play low-level boring games like when he was a student, and could only keep watching boring and lonely; Just like drinking tea, living in the countryside, you can't just stand and watch the tea, you always have to taste it; After all, it is a guest, and what does the place of birth and breeding do as guests? Isn't it like a foreign land to be in your hometown?

This thing is not a good thing after all, but it is not what it used to be, it has come out of the ivory tower, and it is not too isolated, even if it is to experience life, to have fun with the people, or to be willing to fall; It's just a good image for many years, ruined in one fell swoop.

"It's useless to read a lot, but it's gambling at home...... It's just, fortunately, I didn't read...... "I can't tell if it's a joke, or a joke, or a mocking voice......

Jiafeng's hand hanging in the air hesitated for a while, then he glanced at it, ignored it, and threw the dice into the bowl, constantly tumbling.

The tall young man made a comment on the spot: "College students play dice, it's all ...... Awl (lose). ”

Jiafeng's pockets are empty, he gets up and stands still, he is a little despised, "the road is long, I will go up and down and seek", at this time, the psychology is a little churning, all the poems, books, articles, and smart talents have turned into clouds, and the hustle and bustle is the only inner loss, torment and helplessness.

Although there is no experience of starvation for the time being; But there is no shortage of many contemptuous eyes; The famous saying "knowledge changes fate" has quietly deteriorated; The new houses in the village are renovated like a competition, witnessing the changes of the times.

A good student who has studied hard for many years, in today's world of "spelling father", "knowledge uselessness", and "migrant workers", can you still be alone, be content with the status quo, and keep your dreams?

The third uncle of the family, the father's brother, held a letter in his hand and came to the crowd to report the good news.

"Jiafeng, your letter of appointment, as a teacher, there is finally a talent in the family." When I opened it, it turned out to be a letter of appointment sent by the education department to Jiafeng's Tianjia Middle School.

At this moment, the joys and sorrows are mixed, penniless, only a youthful and enthusiastic Jiafeng, I can't tell what it's like?

Fish and bear's paws, as I want, drowned three thousand, can only take one scoop to drink.
