Chapter 001: Picking Up a Mobile Phone (Rewritten Chapter)
Note: Recently, many readers have reported that the beginning of this novel is not well written, and the main opinions are as follows: 1. The pig's feet are too young, and the social fulfillment is insufficient, so they cannot adapt to the needs of crossing. Second, I didn't have a good grasp of some customs www.biquge.info of the Song Dynasty. 3. Doing things too naΓ―ve.
Based on these three points, Sadie King decided to rewrite the beginning, so the recent period has been a normal update of a chapter and a rewrite of a chapter, I hope you will bear with me!

Chapter 001
Pick up a mobile phone
"How long do the cherry blossoms last? Willow green and pink two unknown. Persuade the gentleman not to ask about the Fangfei Festival, the wind and rain in the old garden are miserable. β
This untitled poem is said to have been written by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin, saying that the beauty of cherry blossoms is short-lived, and the season of peach and willow green has not yet arrived.
It's the month of March, and it's the time when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. On the shore of Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, by the Jiming Ancient Temple, there is a young man who is walking hard, and he has no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of the cherry blossom trees on both sides of the sidewalk. This young man was in his twenties, wearing an old yellowish cowhide jacket on his upper body and a white-washed jeans on his lower body. At this time, he only thought in his heart: "Take advantage of the lack of classes this afternoon, go to Zhujiang Road to install a few more machines, and I can be one step closer to my ideal." β
The young man, surnamed Chen and Tianyu, is a native of Nanjing, and is currently a sophomore student in the computer science department of Southeast University, while his parents are both laid-off workers. Although he was admitted to Southeast University, a well-known engineering college in the country, with his own efforts, since the industrialization of education, the university's tuition and miscellaneous fees have risen every year, and this year (2012), it has reached nearly 10,000 yuan per year. His parents were both laid off 12 years ago, and now they can only rely on a breakfast stall every morning to get by, and after a year, the total income is only 30,000 or 40,000 yuan, and then 10,000 yuan is given to Chen Tianyu, life can be said to be quite difficult.
Chen Tianyu is sympathetic to his parents, so in addition to the annual tuition and miscellaneous expenses, he does not ask his parents for a penny, and all the living expenses come from his part-time work outside. After he went to university, he got a part-time job on Zhujiang Road, helping to assemble compatible computers. Originally, the owner of the computer store wanted him to do sales, but Chen Tianyu thought that the income from sales was not stable enough to ensure his life, so he chose to assemble compatible machines. There was no class in the afternoon that day, so I wanted to rush to Zhujiang Road as soon as possible, install a few more machines, and earn dozens of dollars more.
In fact, in addition to his daily homework, his part-time income is just enough for his living expenses, so he doesn't need to work so hard. It's just that since he went to the computer department, he has a dream, that is, to save 5,000 yuan to buy his own laptop. So for more than a year, I installed one or two more machines than my colleagues every day, earned an extra one or twenty yuan, and then saved the money. Now that he has more than 3,000 yuan in the card, he is very close to his goal, so during this time, he will go to Zhujiang Road whenever he has time to realize his dream as soon as possible.
He walked to the Peace Building, turned a corner, arrived at Taiping North Road, and walked four or five hundred meters forward, which was Zhujiang Road, so he quickened his pace and hurried forward. Suddenly, a young man and a woman walked in front of them, and the woman was carrying a paper bag with the words "Samsung" printed on it. I only heard the man say: "How about it, do you like the new mobile phone you bought?" This is Samsung's latest model, and it cost me more than 5,000 yuan! The woman stopped, turned around, wrapped her hands around the man's neck, and said coquettishly, "Of course I like it, people have been thinking about it for a long time." The man smiled and said, "Then why don't you hurry up and take a look." Let's go to the gazebo over there and sit down, and open it for you to see. As he spoke, he pulled away the jade arm around his neck and walked towards the pavilion with the woman. β¦,
Chen Tianyu listened to the conversation between the two, and felt bitter in his heart: "Seeing that the man is about the same age as me, but he has a mobile phone of more than 5,000 yuan for his girlfriend, and I am still struggling for a laptop of 5,000 yuan, this world is really unfair." Looking at the young man and woman for a while, I thought that instead of complaining and complaining here, I couldn't change anything, it was better to install a few more machines earlier. Thinking of this, he stopped looking at the young man and woman and walked forward.
After walking a few meters, I glanced at the afterglow, but saw that the young man and woman had looked at the mobile phone, hurriedly put the mobile phone away, left the pavilion, and walked quickly in the direction of the drum tower. Chen Tianyu shook his head and said in his heart: "These two people are really, they are obviously in a hurry, but they still have to sit down and look at their mobile phones for a while." Just as he was about to move forward, he was surprised to find a white, boxy thing lying on the stool of the gazebo. After a little thought, I realized that the two of them must have left in too much hurry, putting away all the accessories, but just forgetting the most important thing. He shook his head again, and said in his heart: "These two people are really laughing and crying when they do things, fortunately they were seen by me, if they are seen by others, nine times out of ten they will not tell you." He shouted to the young man and woman, "Hey, you forgot your phone!" β
Unexpectedly, the young man and woman walked so fast that they turned a deaf ear to his shouting, and said in their hearts: "These two people are really Ma Daha at home, and they don't pay attention to other people's reminders." In desperation, he had to go to the gazebo, pick up the mobile phone, and prepare to return it to the young man and woman. Just ran a few steps with his mobile phone, but suddenly a man jumped out from the side, grabbed Chen Tianyu, and said, "You wait!" Chen Tianyu looked at him, and saw that the man was about thirty years old, with a medium build, dressed in casual clothes, and a small flat haircut, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" The flat-headed man said: "You picked up this mobile phone for no reason, do you want to swallow it alone?" I saw this phone just now, but you got it first, you at least scored me, right? β
Chen Tianyu said in his heart, and said with a smile: "I don't want to swallow it alone, I want to return it to others." The flat-headed man shook his head, as if he didn't expect him to say this, and only said after a while: "No!" You can't give it back, I see this phone, I'll have a share, you give it back to them, I won't get anything. Chen Tianyu frowned and said: "Other people's things are forgotten here, you see that not only do you not go to return them to others, but you also don't let me return them, are you unreasonable?" The flat-headed man grabbed his wrist and whispered, "Boy, don't know each other!" Chen Tianyu saw that he was becoming more and more disagreeable, and said angrily: "How are you doing?" As he spoke, he struggled to break free from the man's grip and rushed forward to return the phone to the young man and woman. Unexpectedly, the flat-headed man grabbed it very tightly, and this struggle did not break free, and he was angry, and when his chest pushed against the flat-headed man's chest, he shouted: "What do you want?" β
