Chapter 3 Love and Career
Worried that her husband's asshole would be poked too much and affect the life of the husband and wife, she persuaded her mother-in-law to stop and wash her hands with an iron basin.
Wang Lun's mother finally lost her anger, and found that she had neglected the guest, and hurriedly moved a stool to invite Liang Xingfa to sit down, and then asked Liang Xingfa about his household registration. Naturally, Liang Xingfa is also made up randomly.
Wang Lun, who was holding his buttocks and standing up with difficulty, felt that Liang Xingfa must be hungry, so he sincerely asked him to eat.
Liang Xingfa, who was accustomed to having meat to eat every meal, couldn't eat dinner with only rice, and the family was so poor that he didn't even have a chicken, so he asked Wang Lun if there were any shops nearby, and he wanted to buy some wine and food and come back and invite everyone to fight for tooth sacrifices.
Wang Lun said that shops are only available in the city, and there is no business in this poor and remote country. However, the neighbor had a few chickens, so he went to borrow one.
Liang Xingfa said: "Where to borrow, I have some money here for you to buy, don't behave so shabby." I shouldn't have come empty-handed when I came to your house, what a rudeness. ”
However, both the ancients and the present have a common characteristic in paying the bill, that is, they compete with each other to pay to show that they are not petty.
In the end, Liang Xingfa won and paid 200 yuan, which is equivalent to 40 yuan now. Because Liang Xingfa said to Wang Lun, "If you can get the money, I will let you buy it." This time, Wang Lun didn't dare to fight anymore.
After changing clothes, the **** killed chickens with her husband. Although there are no condiments, Liang Xingfa eats with relish, and it is true that he has not eaten for a long time. The others also ate intoxicated, and no wine was better than wine, because they had not eaten meat for a long time.
After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard and looked back at the past and looked forward to the future. Wang Lun's family background was okay when he was a child, he went to private school for a few years, and his ideal in life was to enter Beijing to take the imperial examination, to honor his ancestors, to have a group of wives and concubines, and to have children and grandchildren.
The ancients were not ashamed of marrying wives and concubines, but were proud, so this is normal. Liang Xingfa figured it out with a little surprise, and quickly merged with the ideas of the ancients. I don't know that Wang Lun's good times didn't last long, and after his father's death, his life was not as good as day by day, and then he dropped out of school and went home facing the loess with his back to the sky. More than 10 years have passed.
It's a beautiful girl who grew up in bitter water. At the age of five, he became an orphan, and then was sold to Wang Lun's family as a child bride.
Live with Wang Lun the boring life of you ploughing the fields and weaving cloth for me. There is no colorful childhood, and there is no romantic adolescence. Introverted and quick to work, his biggest dream is to have children and have enough to eat.
Childhood sweethearts are not necessarily a good thing.,Two little unsuspecting brother and sister love suddenly have to transition to the children's private relationship one day is very full of twists and turns.,If it can't be grafted perfectly,It's a nondescript relationship that touches everything and nothing.。 Liang Xingfa felt that the **** and Wang Lun lacked an impulsive passion because they were too familiar.
On the issue of creating the future, Liang Xingfa has always believed that no matter what era he lives in, he must go to the city to work. If you don't work, you just sit and wait for death. Wang Lun is very different, he wants to put down roots in the countryside, and he is unwilling to move outside to make a living. This was very normal for the ancients, because at that time there was almost no concept of part-time work, basically Lao Tzu did whatever his son did, Lao Tzu was a beggar, and his son was also begging.
Liang Xingfa said to Wang Lun: "As the saying goes, people move living trees and move to death, if you are afraid that you will die if you move, then what is the difference between you and a vegetative person." Listen to the advice of the younger brother, go into the city to find opportunities, maybe you can develop. This is Liang Xingfa's lobbying in order to let Wang Lun accompany him to work in the city. He didn't want to face the loess with his back to the sky for the rest of his life.
Wang Lun has always been more disgusted with leaving his homeland, and even more disgusted with those who persuaded him to leave his homeland. However, when he heard the word developed, he was so excited that he felt like he had taken a stimulant, and his disgust suddenly turned into a good feeling.
This also proves that it is human nature that people go to high places and water flows to low places. He decided to accompany Liang Xingfa to the city to look for development opportunities, and then return to his hometown after a few years.
Wang Lun is so confident that he can eat in the city because when he was studying in a private school, a classmate who was slightly older than him opened an inn in the city and became the boss, and it is said that the business is okay.
This classmate's name is Wanda. He was a gentleman and had poor schoolwork, and that was because he was working women. He was drawing women when they were writing essays. In order to be able to draw the underpants worn by women, he often went to spy on the widows in the village. At that time, women did not have underwear to wear, and wore petticoats that resembled modern times. Once, he was so cowardly that he slipped into the house while the widow was bathing and stole the petticoat. Heaven has eyes, so that the widow's wolf dog found out, chased him and bit him. chased him until he fell down the hill and fell into a mess. Fortunately, Wang Lun chopped firewood and saved him there. After this incident, he had no face to mix in the village, so he simply entered Chang'an City and opened a small inn on Suzaku Street, and his life was quite nourishing.
Wang Lun relied on the grace of saving his life and decided to go to him with Liang Xingfa.
After breakfast the next day, Liang Xingfa and Wang Lun took their bags to Chang'an City.
The girl and Wang Lun and his mother could only stay at home.
The girl didn't tell Wang Lunqian something like "Wild flowers are not as fragrant as domestic flowers, don't mess with flowers outside". It can be seen that she is very relieved of Wang Lun, and has a state of mind that is at ease with what she encounters.
It takes two days to walk from the village to Chang'an City.
Most of the ancients did not have the habit of taking transportation when they went far away, so Wang Lun advocated walking over, not just two days, and it would pass quickly, and it would save money.
Liang Xingfa, a modern person, is different, even if it is a ten-minute journey, even if he doesn't take a taxi, he has to take the bus, so he and Wang Lun have a disagreement.
After a heated discussion, Wang Lun agreed with Liang Xing's idea of going out to take a car. Because Liang Xingfa told him that it takes a lot of time to walk, and there is naturally a lot of consumption on the road, it is better to hire a car than to compare the two. The most important thing is that the car money was issued by Liang Xing.
Whoever has money is the one who speaks.
When the two went out to the post station on the official road, they rented a carriage and ran to Chang'an.
It cost 2,300 yuan.
At this time, both of them were penniless.
When you arrive in Chang'an, you must immediately find a job with food and accommodation.
However, both are optimistic that the road ahead is a golden road.
The vision of a better future keeps the two of them smiling brightly.
In order to express their inner excitement, Liang Xingfa and Wang Lun stood on the roof of the carriage and raised their arms and shouted: "Chang'an, we are here." The world is ours, and the future will be our grandchildren's. We are the kings of the rivers and lakes. ”
Just shouting is not enough to enjoy it, Liang Xingfa also sang to the beat: "Let us be the companion of Hongchen, live a chic life, let us sing the joy in our hearts with a glass of wine." ”
A day and a night later, the two came to Chang'an, the city of ten thousand cities.
The East and West Cities were the economic activity centers of Tang Chang'an City, the national industrial and commercial trade centers at that time, and also important places for economic exchanges between Chinese and foreign countries. Merchants gather here, there are many shops, there are a variety of goods, and the trade is extremely prosperous.
The two walked and strolled, and at noon they came to the Wanda Inn opened by Wanda like two jubilant ponies.
Knowing the truth in a foreign country is a great joy in life.
So Wanda, who is in her thirties with sharp beak monkey gills and a thin body, happily asked Wang Lun and Liang Xingfa whether they were sharpened or stayed in the hotel?
Wang Lun said: "We neither shoot nor live in stores. Old classmate, if you get rich, you should take care of your former brother, right? Besides, I saved your life when you committed that affair. Now that we have left our homeland, you should take us in and let us work with you. As for the salary, it's just a little higher than that of outsiders. That's what Grace Chart should do. ”
Wang Lun thought that he would recreate Wanda Entong, and he would definitely agree to such a small request to him very happily, and would take out the wine and food to entertain him. Unexpectedly, the mercenary Wanda saw that they were not here to consume, and it was faster to turn her face than to turn a book.
Pointing at Wang Lun's nose and scolding: "I'll take you male turtle." You're embarrassed to mention that incident back then. On the way home when you helped me home, people asked me why I was hurt, and you saw one and said that I was bitten by a dog by stealing a widow's clothes. Just because of your stupidity, I don't have the face to mess around in the village. Everyone laughed at me when they saw me. I think you're actually trying to make a fool of me, and you're embarrassed to come to me to eat and drink. For the sake of you helping me, I won't report to the government to drive you out, so you can go back by yourself. ”
Wang Lun was shocked and angry, and said, "Oh, kindness is still regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs." You don't want to think about how hard it is for me to help you walk for such a long distance. If it weren't for the sincerity, I would have thrown you down halfway early and let you be taken by the beast, and you would still be where you are today. It's really the heart of a villain, and I am a gentleman. I really didn't expect you to cross the river and tear down the bridge ******, unload the mill and kill the donkey. Livestock can repay each other with a little bit of grace, and you are inferior ****** beasts. ”
Wanda said, "Don't talk about yourself so great, talk about me so obscenely. I didn't kill you, why did you cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, are you also an animal? ”
Wang Lun said: "We have no money on us, and we are still hungry. You don't take us in and let us go back. Isn't that a dead end? I saved your life, and I had to die myself. Besides, we won't eat you for nothing, we'll do the work. ”
Liang Xingfa also echoed it, saying that they would work, and maybe they could make the inn's business flourish.
Wanda stared at them with slanted eyes and said, "The world is difficult, and business is not easy to do in these years." There is no surplus food for those who open inns, and I have no shortage of people here, where can I afford to raise a big man like you. ”
Then he pointed at Liang Xingfa and said: "This guy looks useless at first glance, looks strange with bells and whistles, and I don't know which country's dog mongrel." It's definitely a hassle to be associated with this kind of person. ”
Wanda has a wife with a fat face like a meat bun. At that time, fat was beautiful, so it didn't affect the appearance of the city.
She also walked over and said to Wang Lun and them demonically: "You useless guys, don't be cheeky to beg for food here, hinder our normal business, you can't afford to eat it." Let's go begging on the streets. It's useful to have a dog, and it can also guard the door. ”
Liang Xingfa rarely suffered such insults, and couldn't help but be angry, and also pointed to Wanda's two in-laws and said, "I'll take your ancestor in my mouth." Both of you in-laws are old dogs with squinted eyes, and dogs look down on people. Why don't we use it? If you eat what you have done, we will not be able to eat it. There is no place to stay here. ”
After speaking, he pulled Wang Lun out.
Wanda's two in-laws booed in the back.
Liang Xingfa let out a bad breath in their mouths, but how to make a living is still a headache.
When Wang Lun asked him what to do, he comforted Wang Lun confidently and said: "We have strength, hands and feet, are we afraid that we will not have a good life." ”
Unfortunately, this is also a quick tongue.
In fact, there are more powerful people than them, who live on the streets, and they don't have the next meal.
So they wandered around for a long time and couldn't see where the job postings were.
In ancient times, when industry was weak, there were always more people than jobs, and beggars begging for food could be seen everywhere.
