Chu Jiaqiang dragged his tired body back to the rental house in despair, this is the depths of the urban village, but the rent is still fiercer than the tiger, and a single room of twenty or thirty square meters costs four or five hundred oceans.

Looking at the deserted house, Chu Jiaqiang laughed bitterly at himself, picked up a photo of the two on the table, and took a look, all kinds of emotions came to him: happiness, happiness, pain, anger, disappointment, helplessness...... Finally, he threw it into the trash can and collapsed weakly on the bed.

Chu Jiaqiang, twenty-five years old, is 1.7 meters tall, and his skin is a little dark, but he is quite handsome. A native of the countryside, but highly educated, he is the first college student in Chujiazhai in the past decade.

He was bereaved since he was a child, and with the support of his second uncle, he finally completed his university studies. In fact, since his sophomore year, he has worked and studied, not only got enough scholarships, but also went out from time to time to earn some extra money, and even gave his second uncle some money for vegetables at the end of the year.

During college, Chu Jiaqiang was not only talented and ambitious, but also chic and uninhibited, and got along with a good-looking girlfriend. The two made an appointment, worked hard after graduation, saved money, and tried to earn enough down payment within two years to support a house, and then get married.

It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and the reality is often very helpless. It has been more than a year since graduation, and Chu Jiaqiang and his girlfriend Cai Zhixuan work together in a well-known company.

But this is just an illusion, in the face of the huge gap in life every day, Cai Zhixuan finally couldn't stand it. Working during the day, in a modern and gorgeous company, facing urban beauties and successful people; When I went home at night, I lived in an old and narrow house, and saw foreign workers and desperate Saburo. Coupled with soaring housing prices, delivering the first installment in two years is a bit of a fool's dream. In the end, he broke up decisively and sat in the RV of his young and wealthy boss.

"Forget it, you can't share the joys and sorrows with yourself, it's not your own food, why be sad?" Chu Jiaqiang comforted himself.

He lay down for a while, but he was still bored, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to calm down. At this time, the phone rang. Chu Jiaqiang took it and looked at it, and said to himself: "What's the matter with this kid?" ”

The caller was Chu Jiaqiang's best childhood friend Chu Jiaxiong, who was tall and big, and belonged to a character with developed limbs and a simple mind. That guy didn't go to school after graduating from elementary school, and he helped his family work when he was busy farming, and usually worked with a construction master in the village to make ends meet.

"Hey! What's the matter with you kid? Chu Jiaqiang asked directly.

"Big brother, is that you? That's the case, I got married on the eighth day of the seventh month of the day after tomorrow, will you come back, big brother? A loud and powerful voice came out.

Chu Jiaqiang suddenly smiled bitterly: I broke up, you get married! Isn't it providence? It's just that this brother's marriage is a big event, and he has to go back to celebrate it no matter what.

"Huh! Where is the girl? I actually fell in love with Ah Xiong in our village, this is a good thing! Well! If you don't go back tomorrow, you will definitely go back the day after tomorrow, in short, I will get home before you get married. Chu Jiaqiang half-jokingly.

"Okay, I'll wait for my eldest brother to come back. The girl is from the next village, you also know, Wang Lan, a former elementary school classmate, remember? Hearing Chu Jiaqiang's affirmative reply, Chu Jiaxiong was very heartfelt.

A girl instantly appeared in Chu Jiaqiang's mind, a little blurry, as if she often tied her long hair into a braid, big eyes, and wore a pair of big shoes.

"It's a bit vague, it's been too long. Since people are willing to follow you, you have to treat them well in the future. By the way, getting married is quite expensive, is there enough money? Not enough for me this a little. "Chu Jiaqiang really treats Chu Jiaxiong as a younger brother.

Chu Jiaxiong is three or four years younger than Chu Jiaqiang, and when he was a child, he often followed Chu Jiaqiang, headed by Chu Jiaqiang. And he stayed at Chu Jiaqiang's house almost every day, and he didn't go back until he had dinner and the family came with a whip.

In rural areas, it is generally about 30,000 yuan to get married. In addition to giving the woman's family about 10,000 yuan as a gift, although you will feel that you are a bit of a philistine, which makes people feel like selling their daughters, but this is also a tradition in the countryside and cannot be avoided. Then you have to spend 10,000,000 to furnish a new house, which is necessary whether it is in the countryside or in the city. In the end, I had to spend more than 10,000 yuan on banquets, red envelopes, and so on.

"No, no! Big brother, you need money more in the city. I have enough money, I saved 30,000 or 40,000 yuan in the early years, and I kept it with my father, and this marriage should be enough. Chu Jiaxiong didn't even say no.

Although Chu Jiaxiong didn't read much, he was quite honest and sensible. Most of the wages will be handed over, over the years, construction seems to be more popular, the wage is also good, the reason is quite simple, the older generation of construction workers slowly retired, the younger generation of many do not want to endure the hardship, resulting in a gradual shortage of construction workers, wages naturally have to rise. It is precisely in this way that Chu Jiaxiong earned a wife.

"Well, nothing else! I also have to take time off. Chu Jiaqiang is not reluctant. He has seventy or eighty thousand in his card, which is all his savings for a year. He used to care a lot about the money in his hand, but now it is not necessary, and he even has the urge to spend all the money.

Although Chu Jiaqiang is not one of those brainless lovers who wants to commit suicide at every turn, he is also a person who values feelings. This relationship has taken four years to cultivate, and it was suddenly lost, and it is false to say that it is not sad. Of course, he has no resentment, everyone has their own choices, and respecting others is respecting oneself.

After hanging up Chu Jiaxiong's phone, Chu Jiaqiang called a good colleague again and asked him to help him take four or five days off. Originally, he wanted to ask for a week, but for such a long vacation, the company may not approve it.

This colleague's name is Li Quan, and he works before Chu Jiaqiang. When Chu Jiaqiang first entered, he was deeply cared for by this colleague. Everyone hit it off at first sight and introduced each other to know that they were originally fellow villagers from the same city. But Li Quan lives in the urban area, not a backward mountainous area like Chujiazhai.

Li Quan also knew Chu Jiaqiang's situation, and just broke up, thinking that he was going home to relax, so he agreed without saying a word. At the same time, he kept comforting Chu Jiaqiang. "There is no grass at the end of the world", "There is no need to hang yourself from a tree" and so on.

Chu Jiaqiang hung up the phone with a smile, and when he saw that he had nothing to do, he turned on the computer and went to the Internet.

In the past, because he was busy with work and Cai Zhixuan occupied the computer when she got home, Chu Jiaqiang rarely used the Internet. As soon as it was launched, the QQ prompt sounded non-stop. Many of them were sent by classmates and friends, and they were nothing more than asking innocuous questions such as "where are you getting rich now", "how are you doing lately", "when will you get married", etc.

Chu Jiaqiang replied one by one, and even the breakup was not avoided, life must be brave to face it!

After browsing a few websites aimlessly, listening to a few songs, and watching a few news, Chu Jiaqiang felt bored and went offline, and turned off the computer.

At this time, the phone rang again. It's a call from the third child in the dormitory, and universities generally have a dormitory for four people.

When I first entered university, everyone made a routine convention and ranked them by age. Chu Jiaqiang was the youngest, so he naturally became the eldest.

The eldest Li Xiangdong, a native of the Northeast, is also a farmer at home, and his situation is better than that of the Chu family.

Lao Erye Jisheng, a native of Guanghai, the second generation of officials, according to his confession, Lao Tzu is just a sesame mung bean official, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, as for whether the situation is true, it is unknown.

The third Zhou Furong, a fat man, according to his boasting, several generations of his family have been teaching and educating people, and the world is full of peach and plums, which can be regarded as a family of teachers. Even in his generation, there is still an old brother who is ready to study as a teacher, inherit the family business, and carry it forward.

"Boss! You didn't commit suicide, did you? ”

Chu Jiaqiang was extremely depressed, not only did this girl not have a word of comfort, but also hit people so hard. But I also know this guy's character, he laughs all day long, and he doesn't pass by. He also said angrily: "If you commit suicide, you can still talk on the phone?" Nerve! ”

"Haha! Hearing you say that, I'm relieved. If you are bored alone, call your brother and relieve your worries at any time. "The fat man's words are finally normal.

"Huh! There is a brother in the family who gets married the day after tomorrow, and I have to go back and relax. I think I haven't been back for more than a year, so I miss it. Chu Jiaqiang realized that he had not returned to his hometown since he graduated.

"It's good! All in all, in short, there is something to give buddy a shout, don't keep holding on. By the way, I recently met a few beauties in the college town, and it feels okay, why don't you give you two evenly? It is said that ......"

Chu Jiaqiang's brows slowly furrowed, and this guy began to be abnormal again as he spoke.

"Get out!" Chu Jiaqiang immediately hung up the phone.

Not long after, the other two buddies also called and gave a long explanation. Although he was a little verbose, hearing the words of these people, Chu Jiaqiang was in a much better mood. Breaking up does not mean being alone, and although a woman is called the other half of a man, she cannot replace all.

When it came to the evening, Chu Jiaqiang didn't want to cook by himself. When living with Cai Zhixuan, the housework was basically taken care of by Chu Jiaqiang. This is nothing to Chu Jiaqiang, who was born in the countryside. He went to a small fried shop downstairs and asked the owner to fry a cucumber and lean meat.

"Jiaqiang! Why don't you come down with Zhixuan today? "The proprietress is also from Chu Jiaqiang's area, and Chu Jiaqiang will take Cai Zhixuan down to eat from time to time, once raw and twice cooked! Soon everyone got acquainted.

"It's divided, she won't live in our cramped places in the future." Chu Jiaqiang felt that there was no need to hide anything.

"Ah...... Oh! That's it! The proprietress noticed that Chu Jiaqiang's face was a little unsightly, and immediately stopped talking.

After eating, Chu Jiaqiang did not go back to the room immediately, but took advantage of the cool breeze of the evening and walked outside twice to relieve his mood. In the past, whenever he was in a bad mood, he would choose to take a walk alone, blow the wind, and feel the nature of heaven and earth.

Back at the rental house, I took a shower, then packed a few sets of clothes and prepared to leave early tomorrow morning.
