Chapter 8 Performing on the Street
Where there are disadvantages, there are advantages. Because of the construction site, Chen Jun and his family met some people one after another, and rented a cheap shack to live in.
"Chen Jun, I have an old tricycle, do you want it? If you want, just give me a little cigarette money. ”
After the construction site was completed, when a worker said this, Chen Jun's heart was so excited that he almost jumped.
The place where they are located is the suburbs. In the case that he can't enter the factory and can't find anything to do, with a tricycle, he can more or less make some money to make a living.
So, Chen Jun and the three of them pedaled around the streets on a tricycle every day.
They don't pick and choose, they do everything. Collect waste, help others move goods and deliver them, and sell some fruits and vegetables by the way.
In short, as long as there is money to be made.
Because of running through the streets and alleys, after getting acquainted with the people in the neighborhood, many people like to ask Chen Jun for help in things like filling gas, changing water, and moving briquettes.
And the three of them are not afraid of hard work, they are on call, they are efficient, and their service attitude is also very good.
In return, the employers not only gave them hardship money, but also gave them all useless items such as beer bottles, cans, and waste cartons at home for free.
Maybe they are three boys, those employers, women are more generous than men!
Those days were really busy and fulfilling.
When they were happy, Wang Yong and Xu Rongfei would casually drape their clothes over their shoulders, step on the tricycle, and roar proudly at the top of their throats.
And Chen Jun will also have itchy hands and can't help but flip a few somersaults and improvise a few punches.
One day, Chen Jun was wandering outside alone in a car. Suddenly, I saw a girl pestering a few motorcycle drivers to talk about something, so I approached curiously.
It just so happened that he knew all these people, and they lazily said to Chen Jun: "Hey, this girl has no money." Help her find someone, is there a mistake? Let's go, let's go! ”
Then, he left Chen Jun behind and drove the car away.
Chen Jun looked at the girl, she was in good shape. It has the temperament of a deep blue in the valley, with long black and shiny flowing hair and a face that is not stained with fine dust, giving people a sense of beauty of clear water out of hibiscus.
This image gave Chen Jun the feeling that he was like a girl watching the wind, and quietly appeared in front of him again.
There was no way to refuse a girl's expression of longing for help, Chen Jun remembered the food that the scavenger had bought for him, and walked towards her with a soft sigh.
When you are away from home, who has not yet had a difficult time.
"Big brother, my name is Meizi, and I came to Shenzhen to find my cousin. However, I lost the wallet with the address on it. ”
Chen Jun believed what the girl said. However, there is no address, even if I want to help her, I am powerless.
After thinking about it, Chen Jun reminded her euphemistically: "Meizi, see if you can think of some key words, such as what village and what road." ”
As soon as Chen Jun said this, Meizi squatted beside him dejectedly, holding his cheek with one hand, his bright eyes were full of a faint melancholy, and the mist was churning.
If you could remember any village, or what road, would you still stand helplessly on this road and look around?
For some reason, Chen Jun's heart suddenly throbbed. The haggard face of the mother, the clumsy back of the father, and the way they whispered about their marriage.
He looked at Mei Zi a little stupidly.
Meizi sensed it, and looked back at him and smiled shallowly. Her smile is so beautiful, so beautiful that Chen Jun's heart is so rippling.
Because the address provided by Meizi was incorrect, Chen Jun took her to almost all the places she could go.
"Meizi, what are you going to do now?"
It was time to call it a day when it was dark, so Chen Jun had no choice but to say to the girl inquiringly.
Meizi didn't say a word, just bit her lip slightly, and rubbed her toes lightly on the ground, as if she was very entangled in her heart.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Jun turned around helplessly, shook his head and pushed the cart to leave.
"Big brother," Meizi shouted nervously behind at this time, so anxious that she almost cried.
Chen Jun slowly turned his head and saw her lifting her luggage, looking at him expectantly.
"Get in the car!" Chen Jun didn't defeat this desperate girl in the first place, not to mention, she is still so beautiful and beautiful.
"Alas," Plum replied cheerfully.
Looking at the girl's happy appearance, Chen Jun stepped on the car and shook his head and sang.
"There is a crooked river in front of me, carrying my beautiful sister, and I sing sweet songs. There are layers of waves in my heart, just for my sister, you called me brother......"
Chen Jun's gibberish lyrics made Meizi purse her lips and laugh, and the melancholy in her eyes was swept away.
Soon, Chen Jun took Meizi to the shack where he lived.
It was like a gust of spring breeze blowing into the silent earth of the ancient well. Wang Yong and Xu Rongfei looked at him with a strange look, and then gave him a thumbs up.
That means as if to say, oops, hey, Brother Jun, you can do it! Pedal on a broken tricycle and bring a beautiful girl back.
Next, these two second-class goods ran over and grabbed Laimeizi's hands to pick up the luggage. The words that came out made Chen Jungang squirt out the water that he had just drunk into his mouth.
"Sister-in-law, it's been hard all the way!"
Meizi was so frightened by their words that she took a small step back, as if she had seen a cockroach and a mouse.
"Get out!" Chen Jun raised his leg and kicked the two guys lightly.
How much courage does a girl have to be to dare to come to the shack house with her alone?
Their words made Meizi frightened that he would enter the wolf's den, and it was estimated that he would not dare to close his eyes and sleep at ease all night.
Fortunately, Meizi still trusts Chen Jun to be able to take him in when he is down.
After getting along with each other carefully for a few days, she turned around Chen Jun with a short shout.
The arduous and busy rush has made these people who have broken into Shenzhen deeply understand the roughness and desolation of life, and the difficulty and difficulty of survival.
However, no matter how hard and tiring life is, Chen Jun has never given up his writing and martial arts, Wang Yong has not put down his painting, and Xu Rongfei's current hobby is to play with the guitar and practice singing.
And Meizi is also good at singing and dancing!
In this way, someone finally said to them: "Chen Jun, you can actually go to the square to set up a stall to perform." ”
In the past, Chen Jun would never have considered it.
But the pace of life has come to this point, and many impossible things are logical for him to try to do.
Shenzhen's industrial zones are relatively concentrated, with nearly 10,000 employees in one industrial zone, and factories generally work in three shifts on an eight-hour system.
In this way, in various places of consumption, night is almost the same as day.
Especially the squares near those big shopping malls are crowded with people. The stalls selling snacks are open almost all night.
Finally unable to resist the temptation, Chen Jun and the others mustered up the courage to walk to the square.
First of all, Xu Rongfei walked and sang while holding the guitar, occupying an empty place.
Then there was Chen Jun playing fists and feet, somersaulting, and performing martial arts. Plum was next to him, dancing.
In this way, Wang Yong shouted sensationally: "Walk by, don't miss it." Authentic campus singing and dancing, as well as wonderful martial arts performances, and vivid portrait paintings, all of which are original improvisational performances! ”
So, Xu Rongfei shouted out the lyrics that Chen Jun rushed to write overnight in a voice full of vicissitudes-
Farewell to hometown, farewell to campus, and into society.
Life is a winding road.
The gaze of parents, as we move away, is getting longer and longer.
But he was always on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, looking up at us intentionally or unintentionally.
No matter how high the sky is, no matter how far the earth is, no matter where we are, where we are?
In the hearts of parents, we will always be children who will never grow up......
As Xu Rongfei sang in a trembling voice, Chen Jun noticed that there were many young people quietly wiping their tears.
Perhaps this poignant lyrics resonated with them and reminded them of the white-haired father and mother who had worked hard to raise themselves, but at the moment they were far away from their hometown and had no one to take care of them.
"Good!" One after another, some people slapped their hands and threw money on the ground with tears in their eyes.
