Chapter 62, Departure, H City
The next day I still got up to practice according to my habits, as the saying goes, if the knife is not sharpened, it will rust, and if people don't learn, they will fall behind. That's how I'm going to survive, and that's not to be sloppy at all.
Coupled with the previous battles with ghosts, I feel that I am still far away, and in order to save my life, it is always right to practice more.
When I was pouting and burying my head in my luggage, my father walked up to me and handed me a passbook, "Dad doesn't have any ability, the 5,000 yuan has been saved in the past few years, you take it, don't save it outside, you can spend it......
I was holding the red passbook in my hand, and my heart was overturned, my father had worked hard to raise me alone, and now he had taken out all the savings for me.
I sniffed, I can't take this money, my father has given me enough, and I will work my own.
I always have a honey confidence in myself!
Anyway, this time I went to the city to explore the road and test the water. So I'm relaxed. I brought 600 yuan to rent a room to sleep in.
After breakfast, I took my luggage and set off for H City under the watchful eyes of a group of people. There is a bus in the village that runs in the morning to the county, and then takes a bus from the county to the city.
About 11 o'clock I arrived at the bus station in H city, and when I got off the station, I was blindfolded, this high-rise building was full of traffic. Who knows where it's the southeast and where the northwest is?
I relieved myself a little, walked to an old man selling baked cakes at the exit of the station, and bought a few baked cakes, "Uncle, may I ask where there is a rental house near here?" The more broken, the better......"
Maybe it was close to noon, and there was no business, so the old man squatted next to him and lit a cigarette, and said, "It's not twenty yet, right?" First time going away? Coming here to work? ”
I nodded, and the old man pointed in one direction and said, "See?" Do you see that row of houses? The houses in urban villages are the cheapest, you go and ask. But the environment is not good, where is the general young to live. ”
I touched my head and smiled, "It doesn't matter to the old man, as long as there is a bed." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Why don't you study?" Running to the city to work? ”
"It's not material for studying, and if the family is poor, it's better to come out early, it's the same." I didn't care about the reply.
The old man probably looked at the sun and said, "There is a small single room on the side of my rented house, do you want to go back with me and ask?" ”
I was overjoyed, "Thank you, uncle, it's really a noble person when you go out." After saying that, I helped my uncle push the cart selling the biscuits and walked in the direction of the urban village.
"My surname is Zhou, you can call me Uncle Zhou......" The old man stepped on the cigarette butt with his toes. A sad look flashed in the cloudy old eyes.
The small alleys are full of sewage, the cries of babies, the loud voices of women, the smell of fried vegetables......
We finally stopped in front of a two-story dilapidated building in front of a small courtyard in front of the small building, which was full of bicycles and other miscellaneous items.
I followed Uncle Zhou up a very narrow and dark staircase to the second floor, where there were five rooms, and the first four seemed to be occupied. We stopped at the doorway at the very edge.
Uncle Zhou took out a key tied with red thread from the waistband of his trousers, aimed it at the keyhole and opened the door.
Maybe it's because no one has lived in it for a long time, and as soon as the door opens, a musty smell comes out, and it seems to have a cold wind?
The room is about a dozen square meters, there is a bed against the wall in the innermost, and there is a window on the right hand side of the room, and there is a dilapidated table under the window, which is probably also found in the second-hand market.
Nothing else.
Uncle Zhou said again: "The toilet is below, and there is tap water at the corner of the stairs that I just came up......"
"Uncle, are you the landlord here?" I asked, staring at the key in the old man's hand.
Uncle Zhou shook his head and said, "Fengzi, do you think Uncle Zhou and I look like a landlord?" This house used to be my son's house, but now it'......."
I thought to myself that my son had gone out to develop, so he usually didn't come back. I didn't ask much.
"Uncle Zhou, how much is the rent?"
Uncle Zhou lit another cigarette, and said after a long time: "One hundred a month, including water and electricity." ”
I hurriedly took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Uncle Zhou, saying, "Uncle Zhou, I am very satisfied with this house." Here's this month's rent. ”
Uncle Zhou accepted the money, untied the red rope on the waistband of his trousers, and then solemnly put the key in my hand. Then he turned and went downstairs.
I looked at the boxy room, as if I had returned to the fairy cave. This is my nest for the rest of the world. Fortunately, the house is not big, and I cleaned it up by dividing it by two.
Then I went to buy some daily necessities, and when the house was arranged, I took the Buddha's palm out of my bag, this little guy has been asleep since eating the big red flower, if it weren't for the undulating belly, I really thought something was wrong?
In the afternoon, I bought a map, took the bus around, and finally decided to be near the train station, fortunately, the place where I lived was not far from the train station, about seven or eight stops away.
By the time I got back to the rental house, it was already completely dark, and the road outside was brightly lit, and I could see the road on the ground except for the faint light from the windows around me when I entered the alley. I pad my feet and carefully watch the road under my feet, for fear that one mistake will stain my only outfit. I also had to take care of the cooked food and wine I was carrying.
Uncle Zhou has helped me so much today, so I have to thank them well. I bought some peanuts, pork head meat, cold vegetables, and four bottles of two taels of two pot heads.
When I was about to arrive at the rental house, I happened to see Uncle Zhou pushing the car back. I hurriedly went up to help, "Uncle Zhou, I bought some braised vegetables, you come up in a while, let's drink some." ”
Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "You kid has a heart." Okay, I'll pack up and come up. ”
When Uncle Zhou came up, I had just set up the dishes and took two wooden stools from the corridor and moved them into the house.
Because we didn't prepare a cup, we simply took the bottle and drank it directly, I held the bottle and said, "Thank you Uncle Zhou for your help today, I remember it." ”
Uncle Zhou raised his head and took a sip, "Fengzi, don't blame Uncle for talking too much, if you can, go back to study, you must know that in this society, it is difficult to move an inch without money, and if you don't end up like this, Uncle will end up like this." ”
I didn't know Uncle Zhou's wife since I came here, and he just mentioned his son in passing, so he nodded and said, "Uncle, I know." So when I come back to the city, I have to work hard. In the future, when I make money, I will bring my father to the city as well. ”
After listening to my words, Uncle Zhou only smiled and raised his head and poured a sip of wine, and there seemed to be a cloudy crystal flash in his eyes......
