Many years later, Yang Yujia will never forget the morning of his departure for Guangzhou.

When she arrived in front of the Perfume Galaxy Hotel that day, it was still dark. There were no pedestrians on the street except for the sanitation workers who swept the streets. Even the hall of the long-distance bus station is still blind.

It's too early!

Dad leaned on the bike and let her slip off the tripod in front of her. Her legs were numb, and she couldn't touch the ground for a while.

Her home is in Lijiachang in the south of the city, more than ten kilometers away from the city of Xiangzhou. Originally, Yang Yujia had already made an appointment to go to the house of her colleague Wang Xiaoxia in the city the night before. But her dad disagreed. Insisted on dropping her off on a bike in the morning.

When I went out, it was dark all around, and the house and the trees in front of the house were all black. The sky was full of stars, some bright, some dim, and some undark; Beneath your feet is a road that can only be discerned if you look closely with your eyes wide open. Occasionally, there was a "woo-woo" rooster crow, which spread out in the empty darkness, drowning the subtle sound of insects into its waves.

I could have slept a little longer. My mother was afraid of making a mistake, so she got up in the middle of the night to get something to eat. Urging the father and daughter to get up. Dad said it was still early, and Mom said what if the bike had a flat tire along the way? It's better to get insurance early.

Because she had to get up early the next day, her mother urged Yang Yujia to go to bed early before nine o'clock in the evening. The more you need to go to bed early, the more you can't sleep. She was so excited. A new life, a new life is about to begin, so how can she not be excited?

After graduating from high school, she was ready to go with others to look for work in the South. But her parents, especially her mother, strongly disagreed. She also quarreled with her for this.

Mom has a hundred worries. She said, what if a girl runs so far and meets a bad person?

Yang Yujia is the only daughter in the family and the pearl of her parents. How could Mom and Dad not worry about her?

After seeing the job advertisement of Perfume Galaxy Hotel on TV. Yang Yujia was deeply moved and attracted by the description in the advertisement. The first three-star hotel in Xiangzhou, with an elegant working environment and a good salary. In particular, it will also be sent to Guangzhou for training. For a girl in a rural town like Yang Yujia, this is no less attractive than going abroad for training for girls in big cities.

Dad was a craftsman, and he was suspicious of girls working in hotel services. Father and daughter can't talk about it.

But this time Yang Yujia is determined, no matter what the family's opinions are, she has to sign up and fight for it. Strive to become a member of Perfume Star River.

Later, Mom and Dad compromised. The child has grown up, and it is no longer possible to continue to keep her in the nest.

My mother was a housewife, illiterate, and had never traveled far away. I only know that Guangzhou is far away, but I don't know how far it is.

The things that girls should pay attention to outside are nagged over and over again. He also said that the season is cold, and he asked Yu Jia to bring more clothes. No matter how Yu Jia explained, she couldn't believe that Guangzhou was not cold in winter.

It wasn't until after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night that Yang Yujia gradually fell asleep. She was woken up from a deep sleep. At this time, she felt so sleepy that she really didn't want to get up. Had to get up again. I resented my father for being troublesome, if he hadn't stopped him, how could he have suffered such a crime if he went to live at Wang Xiaoxia's house for one night!

On the square table in the hall were four sugar eggs that her mother had beaten her, and she didn't eat any of them. It's not that I don't want to eat at all, it's that I'm angry with them in my heart and deliberately doesn't eat it.

Wooden boxes full of clothes are strapped to the back rack of the bike. Yang Yujia sat on the beam of the tripod in front of him, and an old cotton jacket was tied to the beam. Yu Jia held one hand on the front of the car, and held a flashlight in the other hand to illuminate the road.

Dad said don't panic, it's still early, but he is pedaling the car hard under his feet. He hadn't gone far before he was exhausted and out of breath.

He stopped for the first time and took off his coat; After a while he stopped again and took off his sweater. The flashlight shone past, and Yujia saw that the soaked autumn clothes were clinging to his back, and the sweaty hair was steaming.

Yu Jia took out a dry towel from her satchel and helped her father carry it. Rubbing and rubbing, I suddenly felt sour in my heart and almost shed tears. The resentment in my heart has long since disappeared, leaving behind a painful guilt.

She told her father that her legs were numb and that she wanted to walk on the ground for a while. Dad didn't know that his daughter was feeling sorry for him and wanted him to rest. In this way, the father and daughter rode all the way. The journey of more than an hour took more than two hours.

For more than two hours, they did not encounter a single car on this township road; I didn't meet a single pedestrian.

It wasn't until the sun rose that the people who went to Guangzhou for training were almost complete. He Wenrui asked Gao Yang to help count the number of people. It couldn't be more appropriate to have someone who had been a soldier do these things.

Li Fei also came to see everyone off. Originally, Li Fei did not arrange for He Wenrui to go to Guangzhou. One is that He Wenrui learned these courses in school; Second, he is inseparable from the construction site. But He Wenrui didn't follow, arguing like a child to go. Li Fei couldn't help him, so he had to respond.

After a while, the bus drove over, and several boys climbed onto the roof of the car to load their luggage. Li Fei called He Wenrui aside and told him about the safety matters to be paid attention to on the road.

You already said these things yesterday, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, rambling. He Wenrui's heart did not speak. He said, don't worry, I promise to bring this group of people to Guangzhou safely.

Li Fei turned to the driver's side again and told the master to drive cautiously and put safety first.

When Teacher Yang returned to Guangzhou, Li Fei arranged for Huang Kanghua and Ma Ke to accompany him and make a front station for the team members behind. The internship hotel is the Guangzhou Cultural Holiday Hotel, and Li Fei had some regrets at first, thinking that the internship hotel was only four stars instead of five stars. However, Yang Guohua said that although the cultural holiday is a four-star, the foreign management is more standardized and strict than the general five-star hotel managed by domestic capital.

According to the original plan, the internship period in Guangzhou should end before the Spring Festival. But the cultural holiday categorically disagrees. The Spring Festival is the time when they are short of manpower, and if this group of people leaves before the Spring Festival, it will lose the meaning of accepting this group of people.

In the end, the school came forward to mediate, and they arranged a group of people to take over in the "38", and the store reluctantly agreed. But Li Fei previously explained to everyone that he went home for the Spring Festival, and this change still caused a small reaction among the expatriates.

Huang Kanghua and Ma Ke found two guest houses near the gold rush pit after the cultural holiday, where men and women lived separately. This is Shen Mingyue's suggestion.

Most of the interns in Guangzhou this time were young boys and girls. Lu Shiping's biggest concern is security. Children have three strengths and two weaknesses, how to explain to their parents? It is proposed to assign an elderly employee to be responsible for the management of daily life.

Although Li Fei felt that Lu Shiping's words were reasonable, he still had some concerns, afraid of bringing the old habits and old methods to the new enterprise. Later, I learned about Shen Mingyue's situation and talked to Shen Mingyue again before I put my mind at ease.

Shen Mingyue once won the title of provincial silver medal salesman. She suggested that the dormitories for men and women should be separated, preferably not in the same place. A strict leave system is implemented when going out, and it is strictly forbidden for individuals to act alone. In particular, treat these new hires like your own children. This made Li Fei very satisfied.

At more than 11 o'clock at noon, the bus successfully arrived at Wuchang Railway Station. The waiting room, which has little space, is crowded with people. He Wenrui beckoned everyone to rest in the shade of the square in front of the station and put the luggage codes together.

He divided the personnel into two shifts, with Song Bo and Hua Min in charge respectively. First, Hua Min took a group of people to eat, and when he came back after eating, he changed Song Bo's group to eat.

Hua Min beckoned everyone to rest in place. The girl Wang Xiaoxia said, Master Hua, Yang Yujia and I went to buy something. Hua Min said that Manager He said just now that it is not allowed to run around.

We're not running around, we're just going to buy something. The girl said.

Shen Mingyue said to Hua Min, I'll accompany them.

There were also a few girls who said they wanted to go together.

Hua Min advised: You follow Master Shen, don't get separated. Go and go back.

Ma Jianqiang said to Hua Min, I will take care of them.

Wang Xiaoxia said Ma Jianqiang: We girls go shopping, what do you want you to do?

Ma Jianqiang, sit down with me honestly! Hua Min said.

Ma Jianqiang said, Master Hua, what time do we get on the train?

It's past two o'clock. Hua Min said.

There are still a few more hours, so boring!

Hua Min glared at Ma Jianqiang: No one else is boring, but you are boring alone!

Master Hua, my uncle lives over there, I'll go and come back later. Zhang Liang pointed to the east direction to show Hua Min.

Can't go. What should I do if I am gone? Hua Min said.

I've been there before, how can I not see it? Zhang Liang said.

Huang Fei said, Master Hua, I'll accompany him. Supervise him.

Without waiting for Hua Min to agree, the two tentatively walked forward. One step at a time.

These two people are no better than Ma Jianqiang, Ma Jianqiang is a chef, and Hua Min told him not to move, so he didn't dare to move. These two people were disobedient, Hua Min had no choice but to wave his hand helplessly: Go and come back quickly.

The two shouted: Thank you, Master Hua! Ran away as fast as he could.

Ma Jianqiang is really stupid, if he wants to come out to play, he won't tell lies! Huang Fei said with a smile.

Where are we going? Zhang Liang said.

Walk around, Huang Fei said, where to go is where.

So, the two walked aimlessly along the street. A bus drove up, and the door opened with a "bang". A crowd of people poured up; Some people squeezed down. The car door slammed shut and walked away.

Huang Fei looked at the stop sign and said to Zhang Liang, uh - this train can go to the Yellow Crane Tower. Just three stops. How about we go to the Yellow Crane Tower?

Don't know if it's too late?

There are still a few hours, why is it too late?

As the two were talking, another bus drove up, and the crowd poured up. The two didn't have time to think about it, and squeezed into the car with the crowd.

He Wenrui and Song Bo came back from dinner and saw that there were a few fewer people. Ask Hua Min: Where else have they gone?

Hua Min said that they went to buy something and would be back immediately. After a while, Shen Mingyue came back with a few girls. Large bags and small bags. Fruits, snacks, instant noodles, are all eaten.

An hour passed, and the two boys did not return; Two hours passed, and the two boys still did not return.

Hua Min was so anxious that she couldn't do it. At this time, a station staff came over with a TXX stop sign from Wuchang to Guangzhou and placed it on the west side of the square. The crowd immediately swarmed in, and after a while, a long queue formed.

He Wenrui asked Song Bo and Hua Min to count their respective personnel again. Hua Min only told the truth, there are still two of us who have not returned.

He Wenrui said, don't send someone to find it quickly!

Hua Min took a few people and went to the perimeter of the square to look for them. After looking around, I didn't see the figures of the two. Hua Min gritted his teeth with hatred, if he caught the two of them at this moment, he was afraid that he would be able to drink even their blood.

Seeing Hua Min coming back dejectedly from a distance, He Wenrui asked: Didn't find it?

No. Hua Min said reproachfully.

Hua Min, what are you doing? I can't even greet a few people! He Wenrui rebuked in annoyance.

Hua Min is a craftsman with a lot of personality and face, and no one has ever dared to yell at him like this. And he is now facing He Wenrui. He Wenrui doesn't care about anyone's feelings. Hua Min knew that he was wrong, so he could only swallow his anger.

At this time, the team began to squirm and was about to make a pit stop. What should I do if the situation is urgent? He Wenrui said to Song Bo and Hua Min, you take everyone into the station first, and I will stay and wait for the two of them.

Hua Min said, you go, I'll stay and wait.

What he meant was that I created the problem and that I was responsible.

He Wenrui said, what's the use of you staying? Do you know where to change your ticket and which one to change?

Hua Min was angry and didn't speak. At this time, I heard someone shouting: Come back! They're back!

Everyone looked and saw Huang Fei and Zhang Liang holding their stomachs and kicking them and stumbling back.

The two returned to the team, looking frightened. Find your luggage, look down and press your head, not daring to look at people. Hua Min Tie blushed and did not speak. Shen Mingyue scolded in a low voice: Where did you two run away? It's so bad that everyone is worried about you!

After Huang Fei and Zhang Liang arrived at the Yellow Crane Tower, they didn't want to spend money because they wanted to buy tickets for going upstairs, so they played at Wuchang Bridge for a while. Worried that the time will be delayed for too long, prepare to return the original car.

A bus entered the station, and the crowd was crazy again. The two of them were caught in the middle of it and squeezed into the car. When the car started, I realized that it was in the opposite direction. The two panicked and shouted to stop. attracted the sideways attention of a car of people.

The conductor tore them up and told them to get off at the next stop. At the Hanyang Bridgehead, they got into a car in the direction of Wuchang. They also said that the car did not reach the Wuchang Railway Station. Let them get off at the Great East Gate and then transfer.

After getting off at Dadongmen, the two did not dare to change trains again. I asked for the direction of the train station, flew up and ran back. until he ran until he ran out of energy, and his liver and spleen were split.

This is a starting train, and there are a lot of people on the bus. The flow of people squeezed through the ticket gates, like the flow of water squeezing out of the gates, accelerating abruptly. People carried large bags and small bags, towards the parking platform, over the mountains and mountains, and ran with them.

Yang Yujia followed and ran a few steps, but couldn't run. Her wooden box was too big and she limped around. The handle of the wooden box is as thin as a thick steel wire, and the girl's skin is fine and tender, where can she withstand long-term blackmail.

Yang Yujia stopped and picked up his palm to look, and there was a blue and purple color on his palm. Wang Xiaoxia complained and said, it's all your mother's fault for getting you such a big box.

No way. Yu Jia was also very annoyed and said that she was asked to decorate less inside, but she just didn't listen.

Yang Yujia originally prepared a canvas travel bag by herself. Just enough to fit all the clothes and supplies. Mom made sure she brought a padded jacket. She said no. Besides, I can't fit it in the bag.

Mom packed up the wooden box used at home and said that it could be loaded with this. This box was my mother's dowry back then. It has been used for more than twenty years. Except for the vermilion topcoat that partially peeled off, everything else was fine.

Seeing that all the items were still very spacious to put in the padded jacket, my mother boiled some eggs for him to add to them. Said to take it to eat on the road. Yang Yujia was reluctant to bring this wooden box, and he didn't think about lifting the handle at the time, but he just thought it was rustic.

Mom doesn't care: a box of things, what kind of rustic. It's affordable and easy to use. If it was daytime, Yang Yujia would definitely have to buy another suitcase. But it's already night, and there's still something to sell. I regret it when I think about it now, I really shouldn't have compromised with my mother at that time.

Yang Yujia took out a handkerchief and wrapped it around the handle of the wooden box. Try again, the pain still doesn't go away. Seeing waves of people leaving them behind, Wang Xiaoxia accompanied Yang Yujia in a hurry.
