Chapter 1 Life does not believe in tears
"Tonight the stars are shining, tonight is miserable." These two sentences seem to be contradictory, but they are extremely suitable for Zhou Yu at this time.
Sitting in a food stall on the side of the street, looking at the galaxy looming in the sky, I poured beer into my stomach desperately. Although the stars are shining outside, the heart is extremely miserable.
Zhou Yu's eyes were drunk and hazy at this time, and his thoughts were rolling: "Are the Cowherd and Weaver Girl on both sides of the Milky Way looking forward to the coming of Qixi again?" The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can still see each other once a year, but he and Zhao Jiatong have been separated, and Lao Yan has flown apart. ”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was even more sad, and he couldn't help himself.
Zhou Yu is 1.8 meters tall, he looks very energetic, and comes from a small mountain village in the north of the motherland - Zhoujia Village. It is a small mountain village with no name, almost a secluded place, no outsiders come here all year round, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn every year, and relying on the weather for food. Therefore, although the villagers are industrious and thrifty, and the per capita annual income of the whole village is less than 2,000 yuan, after deducting the money for seeds and fertilizers, the annual income of each family is only 3,000 or 2,000 yuan.
But under such difficult conditions, Zhou Yu's parents stubbornly withstood the pressure of life, gritted their teeth, worked hard with their backs to the loess, and were stunned to provide him to graduate from college.
Zhou Yu was very smart when he was a child, so although he was naughty, he was finally admitted to a key university in the south with high scores, studying economic management, and found a white-collar job in Mingzhu City after completing his studies, so he became the pride of the villagers in Zhoujia Village.
Having grown up in a difficult environment since he was a child, God has given him perseverance and an optimistic attitude while giving him the hardships of life.
After work, he continued to carry forward the honest, optimistic and tenacious spirit of Zhoujiacun people, rushed to do dirty work, enthusiastically helped colleagues, and it didn't take long to get along with colleagues, and at the same time, his business ability was constantly improved.
In the process of work, Zhou Yu and his colleague Zhao Jiatong slowly had a relationship, Zhao Jiatong is from a small city in the south, adhering to the advantages of southern girls, white skin, beautiful and generous, at first she also valued Zhou Yu's character, I feel that this boy is honest and reliable, so the relationship between the two has been very good, even to the point of talking about marriage.
However, as the two slowly integrated into this international metropolis, Zhao Jiatong's view of the world slowly shifted, and he slowly had an affair with a vice president of the company. At the beginning, a good colleague secretly reminded him, but Zhou Yu didn't believe it, because the two had sworn an alliance between them, and it was definitely stronger than Jin Jian and stronger than the sea.
But later, Zhou Yu still discovered his girlfriend's abnormality, and after he couldn't bear it anymore, the two finally sat together this afternoon and talked in detail openly. Zhao Jiatong clearly told Zhou Yu that if he wanted to pursue a higher-grade life, Zhou Yu, the son of a farmer, could not meet his wishes at all, and he could only endure hardships and hardships with Zhou Yu, so although the vice president was married, Zhao Jiatong still followed him without hesitation.
Any normal man who encounters such a thing will always end up with one: break up!
But how can the relationship of nearly three years be broken just as soon as it is said? In this way, Zhou Yu drank from three o'clock in the afternoon until the beginning of the lantern, and revisited the experience and feelings of the past three years in his heart.
"If time is like wine, years are like knives, then feelings are poison, if used correctly, it can cure diseases and save people, and if it is used wrong, it will be a life."
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, paid the bill in the disgusted eyes of the waiter, and walked away.
The pearl of May is already the summer heat and the evening breeze is warm. The streets are colorful and colorful, and a pair of young men and women snuggle up to each other and walk leisurely, sometimes whispering, sometimes "giggling" laughter......
Looking at everything familiar in front of him, Zhou Yu felt a strangeness that he had never felt before.
A breeze blew, and Zhou Yu sobered up a little. I took a hard breath of warm air and slowly exhaled it, which made me feel much more comfortable.
Maybe it's because of the long suffering in my heart, maybe it's the tenacity and optimism that have always existed in my bones, at this time Zhou Yu's mentality has slowly regained calm, and Zhou Yu remembered a sentence from Taigong: Life doesn't believe in tears!
"Yes, life doesn't believe in tears! Since we are alive, our generation needs to move forward bravely, to pursue the beauty of life, and bloom their own wonderful! Thinking of this, Zhou Yu was full of strength again.
On this moonlit night, Zhou Yu experienced the baptism of emotional hardship, and his mind became more mature.
Those who have not experienced emotional ordeal can only be called a boy, and only those who have experienced heart-rending emotional ordeal can a boy turn into a butterfly and become a man.
The Pearl is worthy of being an international metropolis, even at 10 o'clock in the evening, it is still brightly lit and bustling with people. Because he crossed the hurdle in his heart and gradually got better, Zhou Yu didn't feel sleepy at all at this time, so he planned to try his luck at the jumping market on Guangming Street.
Due to the popularity of antiques in the past two years, major TV media have also rushed to report, and even some TV stations have opened treasure hunting and other programs, Zhou Yu slowly fell in love with this industry, and through his own research, he even picked up a few small leaks, and made a small profit of 18,000 yuan.
The things in the jumping market can be described as complete, with all kinds of everything, from large to second-hand refrigerator color TVs, small to a stitch and a thread, of course, all kinds of antiques also occupy half of the country, although these antiques are not necessarily "ancient", but it depends on everyone's chance and eyesight.
Zhou Yu wandered around the stall selling antiques, although the vendors were very energetic, but 99% of what Zhou Yu saw were fakes, and in this industry, the Chinese people took the art of counterfeiting to the extreme.
As he was walking, he suddenly stood up from the stall in front of him, and a stall owner in his forties shouted at Zhou Yu: "Little brother, come here again?" My brother has received a lot of good things in the past two days, do you want to come over and have a look? ”
Zhou Yu fixed his eyes and looked, ho! It's really an acquaintance, I remember that this stall owner's surname is Zhang, and he is a relatively good person among the treacherous stall owners. I came across a piece of porcelain from the Republic of China period at him last time, and I made a small profit of more than 4,000 quick money, so I walked over quickly.
"Brother Zhang, haven't you seen you for a few days and made a fortune again? What's good today? But don't take out the first two times you saw it. ”
Boss Zhang smiled heartily, he admired the young man in front of him, he seemed to be a small white-collar worker, but he was not arrogant or impatient, generous and kind, and he was a person worth associating.
casually took out a thing wrapped in silk cloth from the small box behind the stall and handed it to Zhou Yu, Boss Zhang said: "Little brother, this is what I was doing in the countryside a few days ago, but I can't figure out what it is, you can take a look, if you like it, I will give it to you cheaply." ”
After the silk bag fell into his hand, Zhou Yu carefully and slowly opened it, and a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on his face. It turned out that the one wrapped in silk cloth was only a pendant made of an inconspicuous piece of bluestone, and if this thing was jade, it might be worth two dollars, but this piece was given away for nothing, and everyone was unwilling to ask for it.
"This boss Zhang seems to be very sincere, isn't this just here to deceive the stupid boy?"
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu didn't have the heart to continue looking, so he stood up and handed Pei to Boss Zhang, and said: "Boss, I don't understand this thing, you better leave it to the person who understands, I'll come back another day." "I want to leave.
Boss Zhang hurriedly grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and muttered in his heart: "What are you kidding?" Lao Tzu hasn't opened until now, how can he let go so easily when he finally met a regular customer? ”
"Little brother, don't be in a hurry to go, you take a good look at it, to be honest, no matter how I look at it, I feel that this piece of wear is definitely not ordinary, it should be an old object, although it is not jade, it is by no means an ordinary stone. In this way, you open a ticket for your brother, and you take 500 yuan. ”
When Zhou Yu heard this, he stumbled and fell down, "This seemingly loyal Boss Zhang's heart is too dark, right?" Just this piece of broken stone polished Pei dare to ask for five hundred? Forget it, I can't afford to toss with these people, so let's withdraw quickly. ”
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu tried his best to pull his hand out, but Boss Zhang was so eager to open his heart, he was really dragged too hard, so Zhou Yu used all his strength to pull it back, but his hand was pulled out, but due to the excessive force, he fell on his back and faced the sky, and his right hand was just pressed on a broken porcelain piece on the stall, and the blood flowed out instantly.
Boss Zhang was shocked, he really didn't want to hurt people, so he rushed over and helped Zhou Yu up, and said apologetically: "Little brother, I'm sorry, you see this is making trouble, brother, I really didn't mean it, go, I'll send you to the hospital to bandage and bandage." ”
Although the palm of his hand hurts, but after listening to Boss Zhang's words, Zhou Yu didn't get angry, after all, people didn't mean it, and they just pierced two fingers, and it would be fine in three or five days, but he was born as a farmer, with rough skin and thick meat, so he didn't need to trouble others.
