The town has changed a lot, and in just five years, everything has changed. If he hadn't been mentally prepared in advance, Cheng Liping, who had just walked out of the train station, would definitely be taken aback. He remembers the train station as a series of dirty wholesale department stores, often muddy by merchants transporting aquatic products. Unexpectedly, as far as the eye can see, several high-rise buildings are lined up, the wide road is full of traffic, and the road surface is clean and tidy, which is comparable to the cities in the south.

He was still dressed in the same outdated old suit, a pair of black big scalp shoes, and carrying a bag wrapped in a sheet. The hair is very short, and with a height of 1.8 meters, he looks quite energetic. Following a group of people from the exit to the bus stop, Cheng Liping couldn't find a bus to his house.

There are a lot of taxis around the train station, and they are usually not metered. Cheng Liping's home is in the suburbs, and if he takes a taxi, he will definitely not be able to pass without 180 yuan. He hesitated for a few minutes before turning his head and asking the middle-aged women around him, "Sister, which bus route is closer to Chengjia Village?" ”

The middle-aged woman glanced at Cheng Liping and said, "Take No. 17, get off at Wantong Market, and walk for another fifteen minutes." ”

Cheng Liping thanked him and got on the No. 17 bus. The bus was crowded with passengers speaking in the local dialect. Cheng Liping took the luggage, it was not easy, but fortunately, after more than ten stations, he arrived at Wantong Market. The layout here is similar to the small town in Cheng Liping's impression. It's still a low-rise two-story building, narrow streets, loud merchants, and open-air restaurants.

Cheng Liping had breakfast here, a few aluminum-free fritters, a bowl of tofu brain, and asked for a basket of steamed buns by the way, which cost less than ten yuan. Next door to the small shop is a knitting factory, which does not seem to be large, only 40 square meters in size. Several seventeen or eighteen-year-old men stood nervously outside the door with wooden sticks in their hands. Looking at that appearance, it must be to guard against outsiders coming to make trouble.

Cheng Liping was a little puzzled, he hadn't come back for a few years, when did it become popular to come early in the morning to make trouble. Before the meal was finished, two Wuling vans drove over, and more than a dozen young people came down, carrying sticks and sticks around the door. The young man in the lead, who had tattoos on his neck and bright earrings on his ears, shouted loudly: "What about the mother-in-law surnamed Zhen, call her out, she owes Lao Tzu money, is it over if she hides?" Honestly transfer the factory to my second brother, otherwise, don't blame my surname Wang for being unkind. ”

A small worker cowardly responded: "Who owes you money, Sister Zhen borrowed 150,000 yuan from you, and returned 400,000 yuan to you with interest, what do you want?" ”

The young man in the lead stepped forward, grabbed the collar of the little worker, and said, "What's the matter, the main man doesn't show his face, what kind of garlic are you filling?" Followed by two crisp sounds, two more red palm prints appeared on the worker's cheeks. A few of the little workers rushed up, but where was the opponent of the group of ruffians, and in only three minutes they lay on the ground groaning, covered in blood.

The onlookers didn't dare to persuade them, for fear that they would be beaten up, so they kept whispering: "This group of loan sharks is inhumane." ”

Cheng Liping said more, "I borrowed 150,000 yuan, and people repaid 400,000 yuan, why is it not enough?" ”

A gray-haired uncle sighed: "Where is it not enough, they have taken a fancy to this land." From Wantong Market to Chengjia Village, it will be demolished in the second half of the year, and such a little land will be millions by then. ”

Cheng Liping chuckled in his heart and said, "Chengjia Village is also going to be demolished?" ”

The uncle said: "No, demolition and demolition, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." ”

While talking, a young woman in her thirties rushed out of the factory, knelt down in front of the group of ruffians with a puff, and cried: "Okay, big brothers, we really don't have any money, my husband is still living in the custody room, and he can't even make up for the medical expenses, so you can raise your hand and let us go." ”

The young man in the lead sneered: "It is natural to repay debts, don't use medical treatment as a reason." Let me tell you, your patience is limited, if you don't get things done today, your brothers won't leave, and they all live in your factory. ”

The young woman had no choice but to wipe her tears while helping the injured worker.

The young man in the lead walked up to the young woman, glanced at it lightly, and said, "It's really not good, you can go out and sell it." In the massage parlor on Renmin Street, 100 yuan at a time, look at your appearance, ask for 80 yuan, don't worry about no business. ”

The young woman blushed and scolded angrily: "Bah, brute, you are not raised by your parents. ”

The young man was not angry, and said with a smile: "I'm giving you a way to go, don't you know how to lift." In this land, I have the final say on the black and white. The last time your man beat my brother, I recorded it, as long as Lao Tzu said a word, your man would have to squat in prison for a few years. ”

The young woman gritted her teeth and cried out, "You hit him first, and he fought back......"

The young man pursed his lips and said, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." I have proof, what about you? Can anyone prove that we hit him first? ”

The young woman subconsciously looked around, but there were people around her, and she couldn't count on any of them. At this time, apart from tears, it seems that she can no longer find a way to vent, so she can only wipe her tears. The young man walked to the door of the factory and persuaded bitterly: "Eldest sister, I didn't say you, your man is not angry, who is to blame?" If he doesn't gamble, can he borrow money from us? If you can't repay the borrowed money, you will be done with the mortgage of the factory to us, why do you have to force you to cry here? If you want me to say, while you don't have children, you can remarry quickly. ”

The young woman wiped a handful of tears, and after a while, she said slowly: "I won't mortgage the factory, if you have the ability, you can kill the two of us." ”

The young man laughed twice, turned around suddenly, and punched the young woman in the back. The young woman stumbled and fell to the ground, and several small workers hurriedly helped her up, only to see that the young woman's forehead was rubbed with a wound on the ground, and blood flowed all over her face in an instant.

Cheng Liping didn't want to come out, he has suffered a lot outside in the past few years, and he knows the truth of helping others get into trouble, but as a man, when he sees such an injustice, where can he endure it. Without waiting for the young man to strike again, he directly threw down the burden on his back, jumped out, stood at the door of the factory, and said to the little worker: "Call the police." ”

Several small workers surrounded the young woman, who didn't seem to understand Cheng Liping's words, and no one touched the phone. The young man grinned and said, "Call the police? You report, you look at them, which one dares to call the police? ”

Cheng Liping frowned and didn't say a word. The young man looked at him in an outdated dress, and said: "This is a private matter between our two families, it has nothing to do with you, hurry up, don't make your master mad, you will regret it when the time comes, but it will be too late." ”

Cheng Liping squinted, glanced at him coldly, and still didn't say a word. The young woman wiped a handful of blood from her head, broke free from the obstruction of the small worker, walked to the young man, and said, "The surname Wang, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, you have the ability, you will beat the old lady to death today." ”

The young man seemed to feel a little unable to get off the stage, so he clenched his fists and rushed up again, but this time he was stopped by Cheng Liping without being next to the young woman. The young man was furious, raised his leg and kicked Cheng Liping's lower body, Cheng Liping dodged, and two muffled punches, one left and one right, all fell on the waist on both sides of the young man. The young man barely fought back, and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood from his mouth. The group of ruffians roared and rushed forward together, Cheng Liping picked up a wooden stick, turned it over and over again, and beat the group of ruffians all over the head, and they were all embarrassed.

"Okay, you kid, my surname is Wang and I remember you today." The young man got up from the ground and cried out in pain.

Cheng Li stared at him calmly, still not saying a word. The young man's heart was a little hairy, and he didn't dare to say more, so he turned around and left. Cheng Liping didn't say much, he wasn't pretending to be cool, he was afraid that he couldn't help but speak the local dialect, so that this group of ruffians would know that he was a local, and there would be countless troubles coming to him in the future.

The young woman thanked Cheng Liping, with a contradictory look on her face. Today I have escaped a catastrophe, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

Cheng Liping sighed, he couldn't do anything himself, he couldn't care so much, so he could only nod, squeeze out of the crowd, find his luggage, and continue to walk towards Chengjia Village.

Chengjia Village is not large, only a few dozen households, but it is located in the suburbs, the rent is cheap, and a large number of young people rent here, which is extremely lively. Cheng Liping's home lives in the innermost, leaning against a large pond, behind which are dozens of native pear trees, which are already full of green pears.

The door is locked at home, and both parents are not at home, Cheng Liping is a little puzzled, now there is no farmland, where did my parents go in broad daylight? Standing outside the door, Cheng Liping was at a loss, as the saying goes, he didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment, excited, sad, lost, it was a mixed taste.

The neighbors have built a new four-story building, each floor covered with sheets and quilts, and it seems that all tenants live there. Cheng Liping sat on the edge of the pond and waited quietly. After a while, a person came out of the neighbor's house, looked at Cheng Liping back and forth for a few minutes, and then opened his mouth and shouted, "Is it Brother Ping?" ”

Cheng Liping raised his head and saw that it was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, nodded and smiled: "It's me." ”

The girl smiled: "I feel like you, but I don't dare to recognize it, so I watched it several times." I am Yaya, Cheng Hongbin's sister. ”

Cheng Liping remembered. Cheng Hongbin is his own hair, he has a younger sister, who is eight or nine years younger than himself, but he didn't expect to be so old in a blink of an eye. Yaya turned her head and glanced at Cheng Liping's house, and said, "Your parents have gone to the market, and it is estimated that they will come back in the evening, so you can go to my house to sit down first." ”

Cheng Liping was also not polite, followed behind Yaya, and asked, "Which market did my parents go to?" ”

Yaya said: "Wantong Market, my uncle and aunt have set up a stall there to sell miscellaneous grains. ”

Cheng Liping was taken aback, when did his parents do business in Vantone Market, why did they never say it? Yaya walked in front, she seemed to be a talking basket, and continued: "Brother Ping, where have you been in the past few years, there is no news at all. My brother asked my uncle and aunt, but my uncle and aunt didn't know, and they were all dying. ”

Cheng Liping's face was full of guilt, and he sighed: "It's hard to say a word, begging for a life outside." ”

Yaya Ling Cheng Liping sat down in the living room, poured a cup of tea, and went to get breakfast. Cheng Liping hurriedly persuaded him, and even said that he had eaten when he got off the train, so he stopped Yaya. The two chatted for a while, Cheng Liping asked about Cheng Hongbin's situation, Yaya shook his head helplessly, and said, "My brother, he is not serious now, and he is a foreman in a bar in the city." ”

Cheng Liping smiled: "The foreman's errand is also good." ”

Yaya rolled her eyes and said, "Those who watch the field are used as thugs, and there are two fights in three days, and my parents are worried to death." ”

Cheng Liping had just fought in the morning, and he had to say vaguely: "Well, yes, yes, it's not okay to fight, young and vigorous, what can I do if I fight." ”
