Just after the New Year, the weather in the north is still very cold, and the howling north wind is mixed with small round snow particles, and pedestrians on the road can't open their eyes. There was also the smell of unfinished gunpowder in the air, and the occasional frolic of children and the crisp sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance. Fengtian City, as the capital city of Fengtian Province in the northeast of the country, is a modern metropolis. However, in China, any prosperous city is inseparable from the same architectural complex 'urban village'. This is a headache for the rich and ZF, seen as the main culprit hindering the development of the city. But it is a place for millions of poor people and working people. In today's era when the price of cities is easily millions, the 'urban village' is the only place they can live.

In an alley full of garbage, a young man in a black down jacket, with his hands under his armpits, walked briskly towards the end of the alley. The young man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, about 1.75 meters tall, and looked a little thin. With neat short hair and a pair of small but deep black eyes under the black sword eyebrows, he looks bright and bright, as if he can penetrate people's hearts. The bridge of the nose and the thick lips make it look cold in addition to being a little handsome.

After a long day of wandering, Zhou Xiaozhou came to the door of a bungalow with only one room, took out the key, opened the door and entered the house. This room is only about 20 square meters, but it costs 400 yuan a month, fortunately, it is paid every month, or Zhou Xiaozhou can't afford to rent it. There was a wooden bed by the window on the south side of the room, and next to the bed was a dilapidated computer desk, which had no computer on the table, only a roll of toilet paper and a few leftover bags of instant noodles.

Zhou Xiaozhou went into the house to turn on the electric heater (the old one I bought from the landlord for fifty yuan), threw himself on the bed, pillowed his hands behind his head, leaned on the quilt, looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window, and sighed deeply. Alas! I haven't found a job today, and I've been here for a month, and the two thousand yuan I brought from home have been spent, and I've spent almost the same. I can't find a job anymore, although I won't starve, but where can I still ask my family for money. Thinking about the two thousand yuan that his mother gave him the night before he left, there was still a lot of change in it. Zhou Xiaozhou wanted to shed tears in his heart. (The author's experience of going out to work for the first time back then, now I feel uncomfortable when I think about it)

Zhou Xiaozhou's home is in Bingcheng, Bailong Province in Northeast China, a small remote village hundreds of miles away from the city. In addition to those who come out to work, the people in the village farm at home. Zhou's father, Zhou Zhenguo, and Zhou's mother, Liu Guixiang, live on the family's income from more than a dozen acres of land. Zhou Xiaozhou studied well since he was a child, and after graduating from primary school, his parents used his hard-earned money for Zhou Xiaozhou to go to a middle school in a town dozens of miles away. Because I am far away from home, no one takes care of me, and I am greedy for fun, so I always go to the Internet café game hall with my friends and classmates. After coming and going, his grades declined, and in the end, because he was not admitted to a key high school, and his family was really difficult. After graduating from junior high school, I came out to work, and before I knew it, more than ten years had passed. Over the years of part-time work, I either had a girlfriend or went out to eat and drink with friends, and I didn't save any money, let alone send it home.

It wasn't until this year's Chinese New Year, looking at his parents' gray hair and the two thousand yuan mixed with change, that Zhou Xiaozhou was full of remorse, feeling that he was too ignorant and unfilial in the past. vowed to work hard to make money and go home to honor his parents.

"I have come, your city, and have walked the way you came. Imagine, how lonely you would be without me," Eason Chan's slightly deep voice came from the blue Nokia 5220. Zhou Xiaozhou has a fantasy in his heart, that is, to say to his first love, "Long time no see." I picked up my phone and saw that it was my mother's phone, and I quickly connected it.

"Hello? Mom, what are you doing? ”

"Son, where are you? Have you eaten? Your dad said that there may be snow on you today and tomorrow, so you should wear more clothes when you go out, but don't freeze. "'My son travels thousands of miles and my mother is worried', and my father is nearly thousands of miles away, and my father looks at the weather forecast here every day. Listening to his mother's words of concern, Zhou Xiaozhou's heart was warm and a little sour, and he felt that tears were about to overflow from his eyes.

"I'm in the rented house, I haven't eaten, I'll eat in a while, you and my dad don't worry, you also take care of yourself" calmed down Zhou Xiaozhou said to his mother.

"Ah, I'm fine with your dad, I'm fine, don't worry about us. Have you found a job? If it's really hard to find, come back and see what you can do with your second brother" The second brother that my mother said is the cousin of Zhou Xiaozhou's uncle's family, and now he is a small bag foreman, and he is quite good in the countryside.

"Well, it's really not good, let's talk about it" Now if I don't find a job and go back, it will be a shame, Zhou Xiaozhou thought to himself.

"Do you still have enough money in your pocket, is your mother sending you some?" This is a sentence that my mother never fails to call when she calls, and perhaps it is precisely because of this sentence that Zhou Xiaozhou spent money without scruples in the past, and now he has achieved nothing.

"Enough, not enough, I'll say, don't worry"

"Okay, that's it, you go to dinner too"

"Well, okay," she said, and Mom hung up. Zhou Xiaozhou put down the phone, thinking that he would have to find a job tomorrow, and he must not ask his family for money again.

At the same time, Bingcheng Zhou Xiaozhou's house, Zhou Zhenguo and Liu Guixiang sat on the kang. As soon as Zhou's mother hung up the phone, Zhou Zhenguo came up and asked Liu Guixiang with a hopeful face: "What's the matter, wife, did my son say he came back?" ”

"Get up, I don't want to deal with you, it's all your bad move, I took 2,000 yuan for my son when he left, and I changed half of the change. What do you say to make your son sensible and self-reliant, if you wait for your son to come back and lose weight, or starve, I won't finish with you! Saying that, Zhou's mother glared at Zhou's father fiercely.

"Wife, do you think I want to?" While speaking, Father Zhou sighed, "Alas, our son has been spoiled by the two of us since he was a child, and I don't know the joy of making money, do you see that you have taken back a penny over the years?" Don't think about it anymore, don't talk about the gossip in the village, if one day we are not there, how will my son live like he used to be? You see Dawei in the east of the village, relying on the money from his part-time job, he married a daughter-in-law, and he will get married this summer. ”

"I know that's the case, but... I'm still distressed," said Liu Guixiang's tears about to fall.

"Don't worry, I trust my son" "Alas"

If Zhou Xiaozhou knew that his repentance was designed by his parents, he would definitely not be able to laugh or cry.

"Grunt" Zhou Xiaozhou, who was lying on the bed, screamed in his stomach. "Alas! I didn't have much money, and my stomach was not angry," he muttered, got up and looked through the house, but turned the house upside down, and found nothing except half a ham sausage that was gnawed by a mouse. I had no choice but to get up and go out, it was already dark outside, and I walked carefully through the dark alley. When you come to the side of the road, there is a supermarket on the left and a ramen restaurant on the right.

When I opened the door of the noodle restaurant, a cold air rushed in, and suddenly the room was 'full of fairy energy', full of water vapor. The noodle restaurant is not large, only fifty or sixty square meters, and there are six tables against the walls on both sides, and inside is a bar, on which is a computer, and a young man of the same age as Zhou Xiaozhou is playing games. I heard the sound of the door opening and looked up.

"Bring me a bowl of noodles", while saying to the young man, he sat down at the table near the bar, because it is in an urban village, the noodles here are exceptionally cheap, and the taste is good, so Zhou Xiaozhou often comes, plus he is of the same age, and he has become friends with the boss here after coming and going.

"Sakura, let's have a bowl of noodles and fried peanuts." The young man said, took two bottles of beer and opened them, handed Zhou Xiaozhou a bottle and made it opposite him.

"What's going on today, Brother Xiaozhou? Got a job? "The young man's name is Gao Yang, he is a fellow villager of Zhou Xiaozhou, he is from Lanmu County, Bingcheng, but he is only more than one meter six points tall, and he always says that he is one meter seven, with a small nose and small eyes. Don't look at Gao Yang's short stature and poor looks, but he has a virtuous wife, who is Sakura.

"It's really hard to make money now! It's too difficult for someone like me to have no strength or a diploma to find a satisfying job. He raised his beer and took a sip.

"Who says it's not, my noodle restaurant has a lot of bad business this year, and I'm thinking if I can't cash it out and go back to my hometown to do something", Gao Yang also took a sip of beer.

"Huh? I said, you've been here for quite a few years, haven't you? Don't have a good job for me? At this time, Sakura brought the noodles and peanuts, called "Brother Xiaozhou" and turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Don't say it, there's really a job that you can do, you don't need a diploma, it's just a little tired, but the income is very good." Gao Yang smiled cheaply, so he said mysteriously.

"What's the job?" Zhou Xiaozhou thought about the only remaining more than 300 yuan in his pocket, no matter how tired he was, as long as he made money, he would do it.

"Supreme**, you know, right? I heard that it is now recruiting with high salaries. ”

"Well, well, I've heard that, so what kind of position is recruiting now?" Don't look at Zhou Xiaozhou, who has only been in Fengtian for more than a month, but the name of 'Supreme Entertainment' is still not rarely mentioned. Is that

A large-scale entertainment venue integrating dining, entertainment and leisure. It contains a variety of entertainment venues such as hotels, cafes, bars, KTVs, baths, billiards, bowling, game halls, gyms, etc., and it is said that there is also a casino inside. It has been in business for more than ten years and has been standing. Zhou Xiaozhou went, and it is estimated that he will be able to work as a security guard and waiter.

"Cowherd, hahaha, I feel that you must have a prosperous business." Gao Yang burst out laughing.

"Good boy, dare you play with me, right? Look at the moves. Saying that, Zhou Xiaozhou poked the chopsticks in his hand towards Gao Yang.

"Okay, okay, big brother, I was wrong, go around me, the younger brother has a treat today, it can be regarded as a confession for the eldest brother" Looking at the chopsticks poked by Zhou Xiaozhou, Gao Yang immediately begged for mercy while dodging.

"Okay, give your kid a chance to change, but your kid's last sentence makes a lot of sense, a handsome and charismatic man like me will definitely turn those women around" Brushing his hair with his hand, Zhou Xiaozhou was quite narcissistic and stinky. Gao Yang, who was watching, rolled his eyes on the side. (The computer is not good enough, and I lost what I spent more than 10 hours writing yesterday, and I almost cried.) )
