Chapter 17: Desire

Zhang Yi walked slowly on the way home, at this time, the cement road project had not yet begun, so in 95 years, it was just a dirt road through the village. Zhang Yi's home is still 1 mile away from the town, and when he walked to the village, fortunately it was still winter, and the road conditions were still good, if he didn't wear rain boots during the rainy season, he couldn't walk. The road is full of mud will sink the shoes in, and finally the feet can't be pulled out, but the weather here is very peculiar, there are only a handful of rainy days throughout the year, there is a time when there has been no rain for a year, in this era of relying on the sky to eat, these hard-working, kind, simple villagers are bitter and unspeakable, this year's harvest is low and pitiful, after paying the country's agricultural tax, retention money, and public grain, the life of the family is really not a human life in Zhang Yi's opinion.

After passing through that memorable road, Zhang Yi's village is located, a village with thousands of households, slowly approaching the village, watching familiar people say hello. Zhang Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, since he went out to work in his previous life, he had only come back a few times in ten years, and each time he stayed for a few days, he had already become indifferent to this village. Now I can still see these neighbors who can only glance at the grave before, it still makes Zhang Yi's heart hot, no matter what contradictions everyone scolds, they will help in major matters, there is no kind of indifference between people in the city, not relatives are better than relatives This relationship maintains everyone's indelible heart!

Zhang Yi remembered that he was about to graduate in 1999, but his family couldn't come up with a few hundred yuan to make Zhang Yi pay the resettlement fee for part-time work.

I remember that at that time, his father rode a bicycle every day in order to borrow money, and went to various relatives' houses to borrow money under the scorching sun, but society is like that, when you are really poor to a point, all your relatives will be lighter. Even if there is a good relationship, it is not a bank, and it has been borrowed before and has not been paid off, let alone borrowed again, so it took a long time to make up that money. Looking at his father, who was still so young, had a sad face every day, there was already a cangsang that did not match his age, and the temples that seemed to be stained with frost and snow, his mother often sighed one after another, and the sound was like a hammer hitting Zhang Yi's heart, making him make a bold move.

Zhang Yi went to the brick factory to sell coolies during the holidays, there was no factory at that time, except that the brick factory was a construction site, and he was desperately pulling bricks all day, Zhang Yi was 18 years old at the time. I haven't participated in any physical labor, and I can't stand the amount of labor that exceeds the limit of Zhang Yi's body. There was time to pull it can't be pulled, there is time to pull and hit somewhere, there is time to pull the overturned, once the bricks on the car were pressed on Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi was numb at the time, struggling to get up and continue to work, until he came home at night to see, there was a large piece of his shirt actually stuck to his body, all of them were blood, Zhang Yi's eyes were full of tears, he gritted his teeth and tore off his clothes, the blood on the clothes had dried up, and he couldn't see the original color at all.

Zhang Yi was afraid that his parents would be worried, so he cleaned the wound with salt water, and the pain made Zhang Yi leave tears again, gritted his teeth and tied his whole waist with gauze, and when he got up the next day, he found that his back pain was dying, and it was difficult to bend it. After a month of exhaustion, he only took more than 300 yuan from others, and the moment he got the money, Zhang Yi still smiled, but he couldn't touch the sourness and sadness in that smile, as well as the tears.

This is the sadness of the little people, when the rich are enjoying life in luxury, you are still moving bricks on the construction site or working overtime in the factory. When the rich are drunk and dreaming of beautiful women in the bar, you lick your wounds and cry in that corner, the rich live in the villa and hug the visual feast, but you don't have a wife and your parents have no ability to make money.

How difficult life is! How difficult it is to be a man! Reality, how bleak! Society, how cruel!

Thinking of all this, Zhang Yi soon arrived at the door of the old house in his memory, Zhang Yi felt that although money was not omnipotent, but for such a family, money was really the most needed, thinking that now I am also a person with a little money, and my heart is a little better, at least I will not see my father worry about money, and I can also be happy to solve a little burden for the family.

In order to save money, my parents used 25W light bulbs in the room, which looked similar to the light of candles, and they couldn't see anything clearly. In my memory, the family was still using this 25W light bulb until ten years later, and watching all this made Zhang Yi want to change all this more and more, so that his parents could live in a big house and have endless money.

To be realistic, the things that this person pursues in life are actually three things, money, power, and beautiful women!

Premier Zhou is indeed great, studying for the rise of China has become everyone's spiritual leader for a while, but that is a great ambition born in a specific environment, in our current luxurious and rotten society, those so-called pillars of the motherland, those so-called future hopes of the motherland, how many still remember the word ideal? Their ideals can no longer be regarded as ideals, they are called desires! That's right, it's desire!

When children are clamoring to watch cartoons about those island countries every day, middle and high school students wear pairs of myopic glasses and pounce in front of the computer to play online games of the country of sticks. Dyed with colorful hair, self-mutilation, debauchery, and consciously chic, showing that he is not mainstream, when a group of so-called high-quality college students are comfortably playing with Grandma Qiong Yao's life and death love in the ivory tower. The men are worried about the women's bodies, the women are worried about the savings and real estate of the fat-headed, big-eared seventy and eighty-year-old men, and when a group of brick families are screaming at the beasts, they are shouting about this profession and that high-level and making money by giving lectures everywhere、、、

This world has become a world full of desires! The faster it develops, the stronger and more direct the desire becomes! It's crazy to do anything for money!

If Zhang Yi is the protagonist of TV movies who wants to save the world, peace and justice, then he will show a hegemonic posture with heartache, compassion and ambition, attract a large number of worshipping younger brothers, lead everyone to defeat the reactionaries, and then unify the world and build a beautiful and happy fabulous world.

But it's a pity that Zhang Yi has never been such a noble person, in his heart, as long as he and his family live well, the life and death of others, and the degeneration of society, do his thing? Family is thousands of times more important in his heart than those thousands of people! As the saying goes, others respect me, I respect others, within the scope of his ability, Zhang Yi will still make a move.
