It all started in the early nineties of the twentieth century.

A red-headed document sounded the clarion call for the reform of the national system, and the 'iron rice bowl' was swallowed up by the wave of reform overnight.

Yuan Xutang, a university graduate, became a cadre at the section level of the Qingjiang City Materials Bureau at the age of 24, and was also laid off with 62 personnel in the bureau. In other words, there will be no more in the future

Prospects, no jobs, no wages.

The indignant cadres of the Material Bureau went to the director of the bureau to 'theoretical', especially those female cadres, who rushed to the front.

It didn't work! Yuan Xutang was very clear in his heart.

He didn't go with them to the director, and went home alone in a sullen mood.

There was no one at home, the house was deserted, and his wife Yao Chunxiang also followed the director to find a 'theory'.

That night, he drank more than half a pound of wine by himself, and he was not sorrowful, nor angry, nor complaining, nor complaining. He knew that the state ownership system had changed, the bureau organs had laid off employees, and the state-run workers

Laid-off workers are the trend of the times, and our stratum cannot be shaken.

Now, he is at a loss, he was once full of ambition, he originally fantasized about going straight to the clouds, who would want to fall into the abyss overnight, to start from scratch, he can't help but have some losses, he is the time

Generations of outcasts.

He has to think about the way out in the future, Haruka was laid off with him, and his daughter is in junior high school, where is the source of income in the future? How do you go your own way? This is the most important issue for him at the moment.

A few months have passed in the blink of an eye, he has nothing to do, there is not much left of the extra month's salary when he was laid off, and his wife is also unable to sleep, nagging every day, and complaining about the situation at home.

The pressure from all sides has made this leading cadre for many years at a loss. He can't always stay at home, he has to go out and figure out what to do.

Walking outside is also wandering around, just to reduce a little worry and stress.

This winter was very cold and the snow was very heavy, and he was very confused when he saw the heavy snow, and he didn't know where to go.

He walked along, consciously or unconsciously, to a friend's house, and that was all he had at the moment.

This friend is actually a classmate Wang Lijin from middle school, after graduating from middle school, he was admitted to Qingjiang Light Industry College, and was later assigned to Qingjiang Distillery, and is now the deputy director.

Every time Yuan Xutang had something unpleasant, he would come to his house, and the two of them drank a bottle of Qingjiang Daqu, and all the troubles were gone.

After three rounds of drinking today, his troubles have not diminished at all, and they chatted untitled.

During the chat, Wang Lijin told him that he had heard that business on the Sino-Russian border was very good, and he would wholesale some clothing and daily necessities here, and it would be very good to go to Russia, and he could earn more than 100 yuan on a trip.

Wang Lijin told Yuan Xutang that he had a friend who was 'upside down', go to him and ask him how it works, and let him take you with you if you feel you can.

Yuan Xutang has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't know anything about the border 'pouring bag', but at the moment there is only this way, and there is no other choice. He and Wang Lijin are seriously planning the matter of 'pouring the bag', and they may be able to break out

A piece of heaven and earth.

Yuan Xutang returned home, his face was red and his face was happy.

Seeing his appearance, Haruka said coldly, "What's the matter, you picked up the baby?" ”

"Wife, the opportunity to get rich has come, I'm going to make a lot of money, you just wait to enjoy happiness in the future." Yuan Xutang said to Wang Lijin and him about going to the border to 'dump the bag' and his own plans

Tell his wife that he thinks Haruka will be as happy as he is.

"Hmph, you still want to make a lot of money, you wait, do you have the capital? What should I do if I lose the capital even if I borrow the capital? Chunxiang splashed a scoop of cold water.

It's like this every time, when he has a good idea, she will be sarcastic and sarcastic. Fortunately, he got used to it, and he had already made up his mind to go to the border to 'dump the bag'.

That night he had a dream.

One snowy evening, the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry to go home, Yuan Xutang was in a bad mood, he didn't care how much snow was falling, and walked in the knee-deep snow in disorder. Suddenly, he saw the front

There was a dark shadow wriggling on the side of the road, and when I got closer, it was a very old grandmother, staggering through the heavy snow.

Many people walked in front of them, and they turned a blind eye.

Yuan Xutang hurriedly stepped forward to help the old lady and asked, "Grandma, where are you going?" ”

"I came to look for my son, but he couldn't find his address and I didn't know where to go."

Yuan Xutang didn't think about it and said: "Grandma, it's so cold, it's getting dark, you go to my house with me first, and then I'll help you find your son." ”

The old grandmother was very grateful, and muttered: "Good man, you are really a good person, I have met a good person." ”

Yuan Xutang didn't say much, and helped the old lady to his home, the old lady was really difficult to walk in the knee-deep snow, Yuan Xutang simply picked up the old lady and walked forward.

After walking a few miles, the old lady said, "Son, let me down, I have something to say to you." ”

Yuan Xutang couldn't walk anymore, so he put the old lady down.

The old lady looked at the sweat on Yuan Xutang's forehead, and said bitterly: "You are a good person, I know that you are all laid off, life is not easy, what do you plan to do in the future?" ”

"I want to do a little business."

The old lady nodded and said, "Okay, it's good to do business, listen to grandma, don't be in a hurry if you do business, now, you make a little fuss first, and wait until the snow on the top of Yunmao Mountain melts, you."

If you look at whatever you like, you will be able to make a lot of money. ”

Yuan Xutang laughed in his heart, an old lady who couldn't find her son's door, and still knew how to do business?

Although he thought so, his mouth was full of promises.

The old lady then said: "Child, if you make a lot of money, you must not invest in Qingjiang City, the northeast is a blessed land, it is worth any amount of money, as long as you are optimistic, you will invest a lot of money." ”

Yuan Xutang listened to the old lady's chatter while wiping his sweat, but he didn't take it to heart.

The Yunmao Mountain that the old lady said is the high mountain in the southeast of Qingjiang City. To the northeast of what she said, there is a deep mountain forest with no people in a radius of several hundred miles, and to the north is Russia

What's the use of throwing money there? Besides, I go there to make a lot of money.

Yuan Xutang didn't care when he saw the old lady's divine appearance. He was just about to carry the old lady again, when he saw a horse-like deer pulling a climbing plow speeding in the distance, and the old lady got on it easily

Go, she waved her hand to Yuan Xutang and shouted, "Remember what I said." ”

Yuan Xutang chased after the plow and shouted: "Grandma, grandma." ”

"Smack" someone slapped him. "What kind of grandma are you shouting in the middle of the night, your grandma is dead for more than thirty." Haruka was woken up by his shout, and it turned out that he was dreaming.

He sat up and lit a cigarette, thinking back to the dream just now, the scene in the dream was so real, and he remembered it in his heart.
