Goodbye, lovely school, goodbye, young impulsive heart. In just a few days, Qian has grown a lot and is a lot haggard. Parents tried their best to persuade her to continue studying, no matter how hard and tired they can persevere, this is the future of their daughter's life, continue to go to school, more or less there is a glimmer of hope, if you don't go to school now, you can only follow their old path. Her parents tried hard to persuade her, but they didn't let her turn back. Qian knows her heart very well, she knows that she can't do it. If she doesn't study, her family can't support her anymore. There are very few jobs suitable for girls in the countryside, and Qian has only one way to go to the city to work.

The night before leaving, Qian stayed awake all night, she sat in bed all night, thinking about the future path of life, she was full of fear and hesitation. A fifteen-year-old rural girl who has never left home is about to embark on a journey alone, and her inner apprehension can be imagined. Alas, what should be the path of life in the future. The future of a fifteen-year-old girl is unknowable. Early the next morning, Qian put on the simple packing that she had packed up at night, and before going out, she came to her parents' room, and her parents were silent, knowing that this was a last resort. Qian stood on the ground with her head down, and her father sat on the kang smoking a dry cigarette, his eyes looking vacantly ahead, and his face was heavy. The mother lay on the kang, silently shedding tears, and in the dilapidated room, the oppressive air was suffocating. In the end, Qian broke the dead silence and asked her father to give her some money, which needed travel expenses and living expenses for a few days. The father stood up and rummaged through the cabinet for a long time without saying a word, and collected all the money, a total of about fifty yuan, all of which were handed over to Qian. The father told Qian in a low voice that there was so much money in the family, let her take it all. Qian knew that she had taken the money, and her mother's medicine money would not be available next month. Qian lowered her head and took the money, took out another twenty from it, handed it to her father, turned around and picked up the luggage, and walked out of the house without looking back. The father silently followed her and accompanied her to the bus stop, and the father and daughter walked one after the other, speechless all the way.

When she arrived at the bus stop, Qian got on the bus, and her father said to Qiandi's back: "Pay attention to safety." Qian nodded. The car drove away, and the father kept watching the bus carrying Qianyuan until it disappeared completely, then he withdrew his gaze and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the sleeves of his dirty clothes. A man silently walked towards the way back. The daughter left, and the father's worried heart followed the car. He couldn't rest assured that his daughter who had never been far away, but at this point, he had no choice, life had to go on, and life had to go on.

Qian sat on the bus, her numb body bouncing back and forth with the car, her brain was blank, she had no purpose, she didn't know where to go. She even regretted making such a hasty decision, but she couldn't go back. When the car arrived in the city, Qian casually got off the bus at a place, carrying her luggage, and stood under the stop sign. The dazzling sun almost made her unable to open her eyes, and she relieved herself to look at the scene in front of her, and her brain buzzed - confused! This whole new world was too foreign to her. There were no villages and streets she knew, no one she knew.

There are strange things in front of you: people, streets, vehicles, tall buildings. These strange things scared her. Qian timidly asked herself in her heart, where is this, where is she, and where should she go. After staying for a while, Qian walked in one direction with her luggage on her back in a daze. Since then, Qian has embarked on a life of part-time work. Walking on the complicated streets, it is impossible to distinguish between east and west, north and south. She was like a headless fly, scurrying around the streets and alleys. It was so different from the place where she lived, there were no country roads she was familiar with, the ground was all cement paved, and there were colored floor tiles, there was not a lump of dirt, there were no dogs and cats running around; There is not a single big tiled house on the street, but all kinds of high-rise buildings; There are no patches of green crops, only specially groomed flowers and plants; There are no peasants wearing straw hats, the people who walk by are such delicate people, and the plainly dressed Qian feels that the people around him are looking at themselves like clowns.

Qian didn't know what kind of job she could find, she graduated from junior high school, she had no education, and she didn't know anything about working. The road of life is very difficult for her. But Qian is a child with brains, and she also thought about it before she came, she felt that she should still learn a craft, so that she would have a skill in the future, so she thought of learning hairdressing. I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know where I went, in short, Qian knew that she had been walking for a long, long time, hungry, thirsty and hot, but she didn't find a barbershop, she was very disappointed, and even a little desperate, but the test of life for her had just begun. The scorching sun was shining straight on the top of Qian's head, her clothes and pants were already wet with sweat, and now her eyes were black for a while, she was afraid that she would faint in this strange place at any time, so she could only hold on to her body and walk forward without direction with heavy steps.

In the despair of losing her soul, Qian met an aunt who was pushing a cart to sell roast cakes, and the hungry Qian suddenly came to her senses, quickly called the aunt, bought a baked cake and couldn't wait to nibble on it. The aunt is also a rural person, she saw Qian's predicament at a glance, and asked her if she was looking for someone or working in the city. Qian told her own situation, the aunt has been selling baked cakes in the streets and alleys of the city all the year round, and she is as familiar with every street as her own fingers. She tells Qian where there is a barbershop and tells Qian how to get there. After saying that, the kind aunt pushed the cart and left. After eating the baked cakes, Qian was not as uncomfortable as just now, and she had some strength in her body, and she went to find the barber shop in the direction that her aunt said. Sure enough, it wasn't long before she left, she found a shop. The store is very large and magnificent. Qian stood outside the glass window and looked timidly inside, where several fashionably dressed young people were busy. Some were cutting their hair, some were washing their hair, and one was dangling over the customer's head with a wire in his hand, up and down, left and right, and I didn't know what he was doing.

The people inside saw Qian, and several people showed surprise to each other that there was someone. An older man walked out and asked Qian what was the matter. Looking at Qian's dress, he knew that he was not here to cut his hair. Qian was like a frightened fawn, nervous and unable to speak, lowering her head and rubbing her hands unconsciously. The man asked Qian again if she was looking for someone, and Qian shook her head. The man asked, "Are you lost?" Qian still shook her head. The man was a little annoyed: "Are you dumb?" Hearing this hard words, Qian was so frightened that she quickly turned around and left. I only heard the man behind him laugh and scold: "Fool! Qian fled without stopping, and although she had been far away, she was still very embarrassed, as if there were eyes behind her. The night came silently, the high-rise buildings were lit up everywhere, the streets were very lively, the city's nightlife kicked off, and Qian saw the night scene of the metropolis for the first time, so beautiful. However, under the beautiful night scene, Qian's heart was extremely helpless and terrified. Looking at the vehicles coming and going under the lights, Qian didn't know where she should go, she was in a trance, very scared, the bustling crowd shuttled by, she didn't know who was the good guy and who was the bad guy. There is no rural night silence here, and there is the sound of merchants, car horns, and people's noise.
