When filling in the volunteer before the college entrance examination, Tang Long, who loves literature, originally wanted to enter Wuhan University in this province and study the Chinese department there, because his home is in Dawulei Village, Guihua Town, Xianning City, Hubei Province, which is very close to Wuhan, and it is very convenient to take the high-speed train to Xianning North Railway Station, and it takes ten minutes to Wuhan Wuchang Railway Station, and it takes thirty or forty minutes to take the city railway, which is very convenient. Most importantly, the Chinese Department of Wuhan University is very famous, with a deep humanistic tradition, and many famous writers have come out. He likes literature, has a rich imagination, and from childhood to adulthood, his essays are very well written, and they are often translated by teachers and read to the whole class as model texts, which gives him a great sense of achievement. When many of his peers were at a loss for the future and had no long-term goals, he had already laid his dream in junior high school - to become a famous writer.

But his father, Tang Qiang, and mother, Jin Yuhua, objected to him going to Wuhan University. So when filling in the college entrance examination volunteers, Tang Long had to choose the Chinese Department of the School of Arts of Shenzhen University according to the will of his parents. The parents' original intention is not difficult to understand, they both work in Shenzhen, if Tang Long can be admitted to Shenzhen University, their family of three can be reunited in Shenzhen. And for Tang Long, who has lived in a poor countryside as a left-behind child and grandparents since he was a child, it may not be a bad thing to return to the wings of his parents.

In the summer vacation when he was 18 years old, Tang Long was successfully admitted to Shenzhen University, and his college entrance examination score was even ten points higher than the admission score of Wuhan University. After the admission letter was sent to the post office in Osmanthus Town, the whole town was stirred by this admission letter, and in the following two months, there was another hot topic in the town, knowing Tang Long's neighbors, after seeing Tang Long, he would always look at him one or two more times. But after Tang Long saw the admission letter, he didn't feel much excited, he was still silent and low-key as before, and still liked to walk briskly on the lively streets of Osmanthus Town with his head down and against the side of the road.

Whenever relatives and acquaintances stopped him on the street and asked questions, he wished that he would escape from these meaningless polite greetings as soon as possible and return to Dawulei Village. It was only when he returned to the tranquil village of Dawulei that he could truly feel peace of mind and joy.

According to Tang Qiang's arrangement, Tang Long came to Shenzhen after taking a driver's license in a small driving school in Guihua Town for more than two months. This is the first time he came to this bustling city that many people yearn for, after the long-distance train arrived at Luohu Railway Station, when he carried two large bags of literature books, a backpack of clothes, and was carried by the flow of people, he was pushed from the long-distance train to the Luohu Railway Station Square, he was a little confused, the bustling city in front of him, high-rise buildings, and since he high school, he has to go to the ancient cultural city of Wuhan because of the water and the lake once a year during the summer vacation. The difference between Shenzhen University and the elegant and beautiful Wuhan University is definitely greater. He stood in the middle of the square in despair, no one cared what he was thinking, no one even looked at him, the sea of people was vast, the figures were in a hurry, he felt completely lost, like a duckweed lost in the rolling waves.

Less than two weeks after the first semester of his freshman year, Tang Qiang, who was in charge of the warehousing department of Buxinde Fubao Beer Company in Luohu District, began to arrange for Tang Long to go to his company to deliver beer part-time, which was exactly what Tang Qiang did when he first came to Shenzhen. His beer pickup truck is still parked in the factory's parking lot, and although it is a little old, it is still usable.

One night, after dinner, Tang Qiang told Tang Long his thoughts, but Tang Long didn't want to follow Tang Qiang's old path, he didn't want to be a wine delivery worker, but he didn't know how to refuse the job that Tang Qiang arranged for him, he could only deal with his father with silence.

"Do you want to work for a beer company? How does it look like a piece of wood? Tang Qiang saw that he was silent, and only knew that he was sitting on the sofa watching Hunan Satellite TV's "Happy Camp", so he raised his voice and asked angrily.

Tang Qiang had just drunk a few bottles of beer produced in the factory, his face was a little red, and Tang Long continued to be silent.

"You have always been an obedient and good child, why did you change when you arrived in Shenzhen?" Tang Qiang said with some annoyance, he frowned, and a puff of wine spewed out of his mouth, "Did your wings harden when you go to college?" That's amazing! ”

Tang Long's mother, Jin Yuhua, came over at the right time, sat between Tang Long and Tang Qiang, and played a round for the two.

"When the child grows up, he has his own ideas, and he has something to say to him." Jin Yuhua whispered to Tang Qiang.

"Look at him, Shi Yan can't even hold out a fart, what can he think?" Tang Qiang straightened his right index finger, stuck to the tip of Jin Yuhua's nose, and poked Tang Long's head and said.

Tang Long moved his gaze back from the TV screen, hit the cheap glass coffee table, lowered his head, and remained silent. He heard a gust of wind blowing through the window, bringing from the roof a cooing pigeon.

"Tsk! Don't do this. Jin Yuhua patted the back of Tang Qiang's hand, and after Tang Qiang withdrew his palm, Jin Yuhua turned her face to Tang Long, looked at Tang Long with a smile and said, "Xiaolong, if you have any ideas, you can boldly tell Dad." ”

"Growing up, my thoughts...... I don't have any support for my idea...... What's the use of me having my own ideas? Tang Long looked at Jin Yuhua and said. His eyes caught a glimpse of Tang Qiang staring at him closely, so he lowered his head again, dodging those two sharp gazes.

"Okay, you have your own ideas, then do it according to your own ideas, I don't care about you." Tang Qiang suppressed his voice and yelled at Tang Long, and the spit from his mouth splashed onto Tang Long's right cheek.

In Tang Qiang's memory, this was the first time Tang Long openly contradicted him, although he wanted to slap him like before, but after he saw Jin Yuhua's eyes, he restrained himself, and two bottles of beer would not make him completely irrational.

Tang Qiang picked up the Yellow Crane Tower on the table, took out one, bit it on his mouth, picked up the lighter and was about to light the fire, when his thigh was pinched by Jin Yuhua, Jin Yuhua motioned for him to go to the balcony to smoke, Tang Qiang was stunned, stood up and strode to the balcony.

Since he was still in high school in his hometown in Hubei, Tang Qiang and Jin Yuhua would help him design this path, how could he resist their wishes? He finally drove Tang Qiang's light truck, shuttled through the streets and alleys of Shenzhen, and began to deliver wine.
