Although Little Rock City and Yang City are both under the jurisdiction of the City of Hope, after all, the City of Hope is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the first choice for outsiders who have no roots and no foundation is the City of Hope, so after Chu Yang and they entered the city, they can already feel that there are two worlds inside and outside the City of Hope, and the so-called refugee areas outside the City of Hope are those who can't even support themselves.

Because the City of Hope has just taken in a large number of people, all kinds of jobs are almost full, it doesn't matter, there is no work at all.

Grain outside the city is being harvested one by one, and the Hope Territory will no longer distribute relief food to the unregistered, and only porridge and dry food will be distributed in the city every day.

It's not that the City of Hope wants to starve these outsiders, but it's just that there are too many idlers who purely eat relief food and don't work, which has led to a lot of chaos in social order, so the minimum working wage guarantee has been raised and relief food has been completely banned.

Gan Liya was walking out of a large tent of twelve people outside the city of hope, her petite figure of one meter and early sixties carried a wooden barrel with barbed barbs, the bucket was full of sheets and dirty clothes, she walked out quickly, but she was still disgusted by the people in the tent, a thin, sour woman walked out of the tent, and scolded sharply: ̈You lose money, can you hurry up, now there is no relief food, you and the old thing rely on my stupid man to resist the bag on the construction site to get food, Do you think you are still the third-rate star who only needs to hold the microphone and babble and sing to make money?"

̈ I said Mrs. Zhou, you dare to bully and bully this mother-in-law and grandson at this time, as soon as your man comes back, do you dare to squeak? This child is only nineteen years old, and you have instructed him to do this, do you do evil? ”

There were two entrances to a tent, and the same person living in the tent came out of the other door, and a woman came to a basin of dirty water, and said angrily. This scathing woman has learned this woman's pungency, that is to say that she is in a hurry to really do it, she didn't dare to say cool words, but choked her with words: ̈Yo, I said the sister-in-law of the Guan family, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, and you don't have two people in your family who eat white food, or you raise these two people?

You see I'm instructing her to finger no."

The woman sighed and returned to the tent, put down the basin under her own bed, walked to a bed, sat down on a dirty wooden bench in front of a lower bunk, and said: ̈Hey, Grandma Gan, I don't have that ability, I only got together with the man in my family last month, and he doesn't have the ability to earn more people's chewing grain, and I don't have the ability to open my mouth

̈It's okay, sister-in-law Guan, isn't I very good, this age, listen to some harsh words should be refreshed, it's just bitter Xiaoya, at a young age, I have no dignity for my wife, I'm sorry for her. ”

A thin eighty-year-old grandmother said while lying on the bed. This sister-in-law Guan looked at Mrs. Zhou, who was eating melon seeds at the door, and said in a low voice: ̈Someone told me yesterday that the son of a family in the city fell in love with Xiaoya, that person was originally a soldier and broke a leg in the war, but the family has a house, and when he retired, he also received a large amount of resettlement money, and he also has a good income job in the ranch, which is a great family affair. ”

̈ How's that guy? Granny Gan hesitated and asked.

̈Alas, can I pit our own niece, I went into the city to inquire on the same day, this person is in his thirties, and there is a seven-year-old son at home, who has a bad temper after a broken leg, alcoholism, and rudeness, I was not going to mention this stubble, but seeing our poor niece being bullied by this evil woman, I will also tell you, you also think about it, although in the past, although the man may not necessarily be good to our family, but at least it is not worrying about food and clothing, you don't have to suffer here, I heard that the man still has medical security, You can also go to the hospital to see if you have an old problem. ”

When Granny Gan heard it, she knew that this sister-in-law Guan was really good to them, and the advantages and disadvantages of this man were all inquired about, and one of the sentences touched her mind the most, regardless of her character, her granddaughter married in the past, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and she probably didn't have to do dirty work. Come back and ask Xiaoya for her opinion.

After fetching water, Ganliya beat her clothes and sheets with a wooden stick on the edge of the roadside sewage outlet. Just when she was about to finish washing, a girl came back with a small bag on her back, and when she saw Gan Liya, she stepped forward and smiled to say hello, and said: ̈Cousin, are you almost finished washing? Gan Liya raised her head and smiled, wiped her forehead and said, "Well, Xiao Ran, I'll go get a bucket of water again, and I'll be done with one throw, you go back first." ̈Then I'll wait for you, and then go back to dinner together. ”

The girl didn't mean to help Gan Liya at all, and sat aside and swallowed melon seeds. Ganliya turned back and went to fetch water with a bucket. The life of the military academy is boring and busy, the curriculum is full, every morning at five o'clock out of the exercises, six o'clock is considered to be all over, and occasionally there are night exercises, the group of young people who have entered the military academy for further study because of their merits have been rotated from the inside to the outside, more than a month, and it can be regarded as a good look.

Half a month only has a day of rest, of course they have to go crazy, this is not often Xianao and a few classmates got out early in the morning, went to the ranch to find acquaintances to talk about getting two hares back, this year, for them, meat is not a daughter-in-law, this energy coin can't buy a daughter-in-law.

They are soul singers with the windows of an East Wind warrior raised and a hint of soft music playing. Tong Yu's voice, Chang Xianao's head stuck out from above, and said loudly: ̈This song is good, it's good, but it's not my favorite, it's closed.

̈ You kid is the upper stage, can't you get used to listening to such a good song? Closed? You ask my brother if you agree or not" A few people sitting in the car unceremoniously beat Chang Xianao is violent beating, and after dragging him down, he opened his eyes and said: ̈What do you kid like? Marriage? ”

̈ Hey, you vulgar people can't understand the preferences of the contemptible people. ”

Chang Xianao got up and looked up at the window, and said extremely pretendedly, but he saw a figure on the side of the road that was so familiar.

That figure is not so overwhelming, but it is a girl who has haunted him for how long and how many times he has seen it in his dreams.

̈ Stop," Chang Xianao immediately shouted. ̈What are you doing, you haven't entered the city yet," Zhang Mu said.

̈ Don't talk nonsense, I see the girl of my dreams"

̈ Really fake," this attracted the nature of everyone in the car, and immediately stopped, but only saw a girl sitting on the side of the road.

Although that girl looks very beautiful, she can only be said to be middle-class, and she also has a domineering posture.

Chang Xianao got out of the car, looked at the lewd eyes of his brothers, and said with a contemptuous look: ̈ It's not this, just blame you, go out for a while, I guess it's gone, I'll look for it, you go first. ”

̈Don't, let the brothers give you a staff officer. ”

̈ Staff ghost, I like the songs she sings, where do you want to go, get out, one less person eats rabbit meat, how about you still prepare me to bring one more? ”

̈ Damn, yes, open your eyes, get into the car, three people eat rabbits, you can eat a lot, this kid is a big eater, go quickly" The co-pilot said with a look of earning.

It's true that few of them are in the mood to look at beautiful women, they are all rising stars in this city, what kind of beauties have not been seen, of course they are just seen.

Dare to mess around, the military regulations of the Army of Hope are not decorations for them.

̈Remember to go out at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Zhang Mu stepped on the accelerator and left this sentence. Chang Xianao rolled his eyes, these people didn't forget to make fun of him before leaving.

He walked up to the woman who was eating melon seeds and sitting on the side of the road, and was about to ask if it was the Gan Liya on TV, when he squatted down and saw the figure of fetching water by the well not far away, and then looked at the clothes that were almost washed under his feet, he smiled and sat down to wait.

Zhou Xiaoran was snorting melon seeds, and there was a person sitting down next to him very abruptly, I was really ready to ridicule a few words, I am beautiful and not everyone can rub oil casually.

But as soon as he turned his head, he saw a handsome guy with a hint of evil spirit, and he was also wearing a military uniform of the Army of Hope, looking into the distance with bright eyes, and suddenly he was a nymphomaniac.

This is a handsome guy, and looking at the pistol on his waist and the rank of a cat with a red background on his shoulder, she knows that this is the posture of a military cadet.

There are no students who have graduated from colleges and universities, and all the top military schools are ultra-short training courses, and they are all officers.

This is a typical handsome and rich man in this city of hope.

Usually there is no reason to talk, just sit less than two meters away from him, if he doesn't start, it's not her Zhou Xiaoran Zhou Xiaoran deliberately blew off the melon seed skin in his hand, and then said nervously: ̈I'm sorry, I thought there was no one, I'm sorry. ”

After speaking, he started to flick off the melon seed skin on his body for Chang Xianao. This is a naked advantage. Chang Xianao didn't feel it, looked at Gan Liya who was walking back with a bucket, and got up and said: ̈It's okay, by the way, you were talking just now, do you know that girl? ”

Zhou Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and then her heart became pantothenic, it turned out that this handsome guy was not looking for herself, but for her stupid cousin who could only sing, but she didn't miss any opportunity to speak, and tried her best to make herself look like a thousand and said: ̈I know, that's my cousin. ”

̈Cousin? She's Ganlia, right? ”

Chang Xianao didn't expect that there would be a layer relationship, but although this girl is very different from Gan Liya in his impression, it should be right between the eyebrows, after all, what you see on TV takes some makeup, and after experiencing the end of the world, there are a few people who don't look out of shape.

̈Yes, she is Gan Liya, who used to be a famous singer and appeared on TV talent shows. ”

̈Sure enough, it was her" Chang Xianao was sure that he felt right, so he trotted over, reached out and took the wooden barrel in Gan Liya's hand, and said: ̈I'm coming, I'm coming, Gan Liya, you're Gan Liya, right, I used to like the songs you sang so much, I'm your fan" Gan Liya was startled by the sudden man in military uniform, and subconsciously handed over the barrel in her hand. Gan Liya was surprised at first, but then returned to normal, although she was only nineteen years old, but she was also beautiful, had seen the world, and knew that the fanaticism in the eyes of this heroic young man and the clumsy posture in the action could not be pretended, this person was really a person who liked her singing very much.

I guess I used to like it.

Now in this apocalyptic atmosphere, her style really can't sing.

So, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect anyone to remember me, yes, I'm Gan Liya, and now I'm just an ordinary person struggling to survive." ”

Chang Xianao smiled and walked side by side with Gan Liya, he used to be a miasma, and he liked this girl when he watched TV, not that she looked so beautiful but that she liked the momentum, the way she looked when she sang on stage.

̈ I really didn't expect to see you in the City of Hope, so, it's also noon, how about I invite you to dinner, and relax the admiration for you in my heart. ”

After Chang Xianao finished speaking, he put down the barrel and said: ̈My name is Chang Xianao, the most common person, the first to win people, the Macao of Macao. ”

̈Okay, cousin, I'll go too," Zhou Xiaoran was jealous of Gan Liya, she knew that Gan Liya would not refuse, so she preemptively agreed for her, in the binding of herself, this soldier-like person should have delicious treats, and she would not let Gan Liya go to eat alone with such a handsome person. She can't get better than her.

Gan Liya originally wanted to agree, but she didn't expect to be preempted by Zhou Xiaoran, Zhou Xiaoran hugged Gan Liya and said: ̈Take me there, I'll go back and tell my mother, you can't bring your grandma when you go out on a date, I promise that my lunch will be eaten by your grandma at noon today, how about it? ”

This can be regarded as hitting Gan Liya's weakness, she only has two relatives, her grandmother and her uncle, and she and her grandmother don't eat very well every day, but Zhou Xiaoran's lunch will be a little oily.

̈Is it okay, Brother Chang? Gan Liya consulted Chang Xianao.

̈No problem, let's go now? ”

Chang Xianao doesn't care, she just sees the idol in her heart, wants to be close to her, what's it with a few people, as for the meaning of men and women, please, it's really not, he Chang Xianao has someone he likes, okay. Although the man did not like him.

̈I'm going back and talking to my family, can I wait a minute? ”

Gan Liya said as she packed up her laundry.

̈Well, don't worry, I'll find a car first, and I'll wait for you here. ”

It's not difficult for the two of them to go out, after all, they live in a public big tent, there are several tents, except for cleaning the tent every day, washing clothes, there is no work, and the woman surnamed Zhou is also boring to follow Gan Liya's big eyes, and there are other people here, so it's not good to scold much.

Because the two of them came back in a hurry and left, just by listening to their ears, they knew that an officer invited them to dinner, and in her opinion, her daughter was so beautiful, she must have invited her own daughter. It's just that her daughter is kind enough to bring this money-losing goods. When the second daughter walked to the side of the road, she saw a Mercedes-Benz trotting stopped on the side of the road, and a man in military uniform was talking to Chang Xianao.

̈ What do you want to borrow the car, take it away, Chief of Staff Tong said that he will come to our guards when his studies are over, you kid has such a tiger energy. The uniformed man said with a cigarette in his hand.

̈Hurry up, Lao Tzu is fragrant, maybe where to go, this school's schedule is tight, and when you graduate, I will find you to have a good drink. ”

The man puffed out his cigarette, got into a Chevrolet behind him and left.

̈Who's that? Zhou Xiaoran said curiously, both cars are good cars, and they will borrow if they say they will borrow them.

̈ A lieutenant colonel, Zhang Xianlin of the Guards. Idol, get in the car. ”

The first half of the sentence was said to Zhou Xiaoran by pretending to be handsome, and the second half of the sentence was said to Gan Liya excitedly.

Zhou Xiaoran's dark color darkened slightly, but then he jumped into the back row with an excited face, and couldn't help but pull Gan Liya to sit in the back row.

Since I can't get it, I can't let you take the lead too much, no one will sit in the car in front of it, the pull of the convertible sports car is obvious, and everyone who knows the two girls in this slum has a look of envy.

Zhou Xiaoran accepted this gaze very calmly, and Gan Liya suddenly woke up, her chance is this fan who has a fanatical liking for her, she wants to stop being scolded, she wants her grandmother to be in the hospital, she wants to have a real position for her in this city, she has to seize this opportunity She abandoned the so-called reserve, to seize the opportunity Yes, people have a few chances, her last chance was to participate in the draft, this time, it is to seize this man, although she looks very good, But her stunning appearance can't attract this young and promising officer, and in terms of appearance, she is not as good as Zhou Xiaoran next to her. But she has self-confidence because of her singing.

This man only had this encounter because he liked her songs, and the car rose all the way to a place called Xiangyun Restaurant, which is already a first-class restaurant in the inner city, and the people who come here are all people with official residents, that is to say, the people who eat at this Xiangyun Restaurant are all characters who have integrated into the army of hope.

̈ Eat here, the boiled beef here is good, I like it, this is a new restaurant, the boss is the director of our Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau, Situ Jiaxin, the standard is very high. ”

With two timid beauties with advantages, Chang Xianao did not realize it at all, but threw the car there with a big grin and walked directly into the restaurant. ̈Yo, isn't this Chang Dashao, today's senior class is finally on vacation, and I'm here when I'm free? ”

Mai Ziwei, who had just been sent to a table upstairs at the front desk, twisted the waist of the water snake and came over.

̈Gotcha, Sister Mai, don't tease me, I'm a well-known second-pole, take it seriously. ”

Chang Xianao smiled and replied. ̈ It's amazing for you, if you want to graduate, you can't be separated from your sister's students, Situ, you can't help it, those people in your senior class are all registered with Master Zongxian, and they will be of great use in the future, maybe as soon as you graduate, you will be older than Situ. ”

Mai Ziwei also knows Chang Xianao's temper, and knows that she is molesting a lot, maybe she really takes advantage of her, and she has nowhere to reason.

̈ Present your good words, come in. Chang Xianao arched his hand, turned around and pulled Gan Liya and Zhou Xiaoran at the door in, and said:

̈ I met an old friend today and invited them to eat something good, and I thought of you. Seeing that the two daughters looked good, Mai Ziwei said with a strange smile: ̈Do you use the box?

̈ Still coming, isn't it? Go to the second floor, do you have a show today? ”

̈Yes, go up. This Xiangyun restaurant is divided into three floors, the first floor is a loose table, the eating map is simple, fast people are on the first floor, the second floor is the dining area, countless round tables of four or six people eat around a performance stage, watch the show while eating, it is the first choice for dinner, and the third floor is the private room, which is a place for people who like to be quiet.

Because it's very high-end here, it's basically a semi-membership system, so it's not divided into floors according to how much you consume, it's divided according to demand. After entering the second floor, the three of them chose a place closer to the performance stage.

Chang Xianao ordered a few dishes by himself, and said: ̈The City of Hope emphasizes frugality, who eats extravagantly and wastefully, once caught, it must be done strictly, I ordered three, enough for us to eat, is there anything taboo? ”

The two daughters were stunned by this scene, and no one would be picky eaters these days. They all shook their heads obediently.

Gan Liya looked at the luxurious decoration here with emotion, how long has it been since she entered such a high-end place?

After the meal came up, several people ate it, that is, Chang Xianao's reckless temper, the second daughter didn't have a sense of restraint, and ate violently.

After the stormy meal, the people performing the sketch on the stage just ended, and Chang Xianao said in a voice: ̈ The following stopped, and they all rested. "

̈ Chang boy, what kind of wind are you smoking?" said a middle-aged man with his chopsticks.

̈I want to hear my idol sing, okay? Fat Li, can you take care of it?"

̈ You idol, who? ”

Everyone around knows Chang Xianao, even if they are not familiar with it, they are all familiar faces that they often bump into.

̈Gan Liya, have you heard of it?"

Chang Xianao stepped on the table, raised his eyebrows, and said, this foot shook the table, but it startled the two girls who had just eaten.

The scene was silent for a few seconds, and a thirty-year-old man said, "Galliya, is that the one who sings?" The man looked at the two girls beside Chang Xianao, pointed to one and said: ̈It's really you kid can find this, okay, she sings very well, I like it too, let her sing a song."

̈Okay, sing it" Chang Xianao turned around and said happily to Gan Liya: ̈It seems that you are still quite famous, look, how many people like to listen, come, sing two songs, let me pass the hidden, please. ”

Gan Liya had long thought of this play, so she smiled and said: ̈Okay, if someone wants to listen, I will sing it. ”

Walking on the stage and holding the microphone, Gan Liya felt that her whole body was full of power and surged back up. She was born to belong to the stage

̈ I remember you, Gan Liya, I didn't expect you to be alive too, say it, what to sing. "The band beat the drums and said in a friendly way, ̈ born like a summer flower."

She was born to marry music

I don't know how long I slept in the dark, and I don't know how hard it would be to open my eyes."

As the music slowly sounded, her unique voice with a hint of hoarseness sounded, and the whole audience fell silent. Listen quietly to this soothing music.
