Chapter 64: The world is big, and I am so homesick

At the Asahi Shimbun newspaper in Shinjuku Ward, Wei Yixiao bowed to the store manager and staff. He's not a regular employee, he's just a temporary weekend worker, so he doesn't need to be handed over or anything.

When he first came to the newspaper office, Li Dongzhen was responsible for taking Wei Yixiao and teaching Wei Yixiao how to read the Shunlu account (a small book similar to Natsume's friend account, which records the route map and some special marks for the newspaper. ) and the quickest delivery order.

According to the regulations of the newspaper in the island country, old employees can get extra allowances when they tutor new employees. And because Wei Yixiao is a temporary worker, the store manager took advantage of this aspect, resulting in Li Dongzhen not getting half a dime, so Wei Yixiao did not have a good impression of the newspaper manager.

For this place where he has been working as a temporary worker for a few months, except for Li Dongzhen, a Chinese student, who is always happy, Wei Yixiao has nothing to be nostalgic for others.

"Yixiao, are you really leaving?" Li Dongzhen and Wei Yixiao walked out of the newspaper office side by side, standing at the door and asked a little disappointed.

"What a stupid thing to say, the formalities are all done. Wei Yixiao patted Li Dongzhen on the back and continued: "When I first came, you still had to take me out every day to recognize the way in the summer, and every time Hasegawa was looking for trouble, you always stood by my side to help me." Thank you for taking care of me all the time. Wei Yi smiled and smiled at Li Dongzhen in front of him.

"We are both Chinese, I won't help you help anyone. Li Dongzhen patted Wei Yixiao on the shoulder, sighed and continued: "Hey~ I didn't expect you to resign too." ”

"Hmm, is there anyone else in the store who won't do it?" Wei Yixiao asked curiously.

Li Dongzhen's face was a little ugly, and he looked at it for a while before he said, "It's me, I won't do it anymore." ”

"Hmm, haven't you been doing it for two years, why did you suddenly stop doing it? Is it Hasegawa's gang that made trouble?" Wei Yixiao continued to ask.

Li Dongzhen waved his hand and said, "It's not them." It's just that I don't want to do it anymore, I'm a little tired. ”

Wei Yixiao listened to Li Dongzhen's words, but when he saw Li Dongzhen, who was a little depressed in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while.

He is different from himself, he only delivers newspapers on weekends, while Li Dongzhen delivers newspapers six days a week because the language school only has a half-day class. Morning newspaper in the evening, evening newspaper in the afternoon. Whether it is an earthquake or typhoon, it must be sent if it is not moved.

Wei Yixiao himself also delivered newspapers during the summer typhoon days. When it rains, a machine wraps a film on each newspaper, and a raincoat is put on and it is delivered from door to door, rain or shine. Wei Yixiao likes rainy days, because it is much cooler to deliver newspapers in the summer, but when a typhoon comes, it is a different matter. It's December, and it may snow in a while, making it even more difficult to deliver newspapers.

After doing this kind of work for two years, Li Dongzhen is probably really tired, Wei Yixiao thought in his heart.

Li Dongzhen continued with a little relief: "I have been here at RB for two years, and I have been delivering newspapers for two years day and night, and I have nothing to do except for illness. During the Chinese New Year, when every household in China was having New Year's dinner, I was running to deliver newspapers in the cold night of Tokyo; during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when relatives and friends gathered together to eat mooncakes and admire the moon, I was delivering newspapers; during the Qingming Festival, my family went to visit my grandfather's grave, and I still delivered newspapers after not going back for two years. ”

"The world is big, and I'm so homesick. Li Dongzhen, who is a tall man of 1.88 meters, said this, and his eyes turned red.

"Hey~" Wei Yi sighed, patted Li Dongzhen on the shoulder and asked, "What about the university, how is it?"

"I passed the written test and the interview. Li Dongzhen said in a deep voice.

"Isn't that good, where is it?" Wei Yi asked with a smile.

"The tuition fee is too expensive, and it costs more than 1.2 million yen a year. I have been working in the newspaper for a year, except for living expenses, I can't even make up half of the rest, hey~ Let's go back. Li Dongzhen continued a little self-deprecatingly: "In the two years here, I have learned a truth: the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. When I graduated from high school, I didn't listen to my family's persuasion and chose this broad road that I thought would be able to achieve my life dream. Hey, I just don't know if my family will laugh at me when I go back like this. ”

"It's not what it used to be anymore, mix well in the country, as long as you are not lazy, you won't starve to death. As for your family, I think they miss you too. Wei Yixiao comforted Li Dongzhen and said.

"Yes, I came to RB to learn anime, but it's a pity. It seems that he can only return to China to inherit the family business. Li Dongzhen feels that life is full of helplessness. He wanted to live freely, but the chains of fate kept pulling him back to the original path.

"......" Wei Yi smiled a little speechless, and suddenly asked, "I haven't heard you say it before, what is your family doing?"

"My family is in the coal mining business in Jinxi. I didn't like these things since I was a child, so I liked to draw and watch anime, so I came here to study despite my family's discouragement. My family didn't take care of me later, and I was all on my own all these years. Hey, it looks like we'll have to go back to digging coal. Li Dongzhen suddenly felt hopeless in life.

"Dare to love me to waste half a day of talking, here to enlighten a family with a mine. Wei Yixiao suddenly felt a little silly.

"Don't say that, smile, my dream can't be realized, I can only go back to inherit the family business, I feel really bad now. Li Dongzhen said with a serious face.

"I want to be so uncomfortable again. Wei Yixiao's family is also quite wealthy, but compared with the mine at home, it is still a little worse.

"Don't talk about these sad things, this trip to the island country can be regarded as a workout for me. Although I didn't receive anything, I finally met a friend like you, and it wasn't a loss hahahaha. In the future, if you will meet Huaguo, come to Yanjing to play with me. Li Dongzhen said happily.

"It's easy to say, when will you go back to China. Wei Yi asked with a smile.

"After graduating from the language school at the end of March next year, I will go back. Li Dongzhen replied.

"Okay, then Yanjing met his buddy. Wei Yi smiled and stretched out his right hand to Li Dongzhen.

"Yanjing, see buddy. Li Dongzhen also stretched out his hand and held Wei Yixiao tightly.

......

"This kind of question is obviously a question to be given. A middle-aged man with glasses under a wine bottle stood in front of the podium, tapping his hand on the exam paper in front of him.

"A is wrong at first glance, B and C are not right, and D must be it. I really don't understand why so many people are wrong about this question. ”

"Wei Yixiao, you get up for me! Don't think that you can skip the class if you get a perfect score in the exam!" The middle-aged man saw Wei Yixiao, who was sitting at the back of the classroom by the window, lying motionless on the table, and immediately slapped the podium heavily and said angrily.

"Wei Yixiaojun, Wei Yixiaojun, the teacher is calling you. Ohno, who was across the aisle, hurriedly pulled the sleeve of Lawei's shirt and shouted in a low voice.

Wei Yixiao didn't sleep, even if he didn't sleep for a week, he was full of energy, he was just lying on his stomach thinking about things. Tomorrow is Saturday, and he is going to return to China with Uncle Qin and them, and he is inexplicably excited in his heart. Since he came to the island country, the old man has not taken him back once. When he was a child, Wei Yixiao often mentioned going back to China to see, but every time Wei Zhentian shook his head silently.

Wei Yixiao, you can explain why the answer to question 16 is D. The teacher asked dissatisfiedly.

"A is wrong at first glance, B and C are not right, and D must be it. Wei Yixiao repeated what the teacher had just said.

The class was in an uproar.
