Chapter 001 The Long Season
Birch Forest is just a small town standing at the northeastern tip of China's vast territory.
As the largest industrial base in the country, the three eastern provinces are not big, but a birch steel, but also feed tens of thousands of people, is the largest enterprise in the whole birch forest, once upon a time, it was in the entire three eastern provinces, also quite famous.
But with the spring breeze of reform and opening up blowing all over the land of China, blowing to the birch forest, still holding the original ways and methods, not seeking to be flexible, birch steel, will inevitably be eliminated by history.
In 97, in the kitchen behind a restaurant with only a simple sign hanging on the side of the street, next to the birch steel mill, a young man lying on the marching bed and sleeping with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes.
The lacquered eyes bloom with a brilliant light like stars.
The young man suddenly straightened up and sat down on the marching bed.
97 years! Both parents are employees of Huagang Iron and Steel Plant, have worked in birch steel for a lifetime, father was killed in an accident, when Wang Chong was still young, his mother took his father's class, last year had a serious illness, winter is not over and died.
In recent years, the efficiency of birch steel has become worse and worse, and there has been no recruitment for several years, Wang Chong has not been able to take his mother's class, and he is unwilling to do nothing to mess around, so he simply used the little money left by the family to buy this restaurant, although he did not earn much, but it was enough to support himself.
"Koshige!"
"Koshige!"
"In the store?"
As soon as Wang Chong came back to his senses, a familiar and unfamiliar shout came from outside the store.
When I walked to the front and opened the door of the store, I saw a short, fat, and blessed middle-aged man standing at the door.
"You're there!" When the middle-aged man saw Wang Chong, he was obviously a little surprised, and pulled Wang Chong straight inside.
"Uncle Hibiki!" The middle-aged man is none other than Wang Xiang, one of the elderly iron triangles, and the starring role of this drama.
The identity that the system arranged for Wang Chong is Wang Xiang's distant relative, the kind that has come out of the five suits, because he and Wang Chong are begging for life in birch steel in this world, with this relationship, it is inevitable that they will be closer than other colleagues.
Wang Xiang is also righteous, after Wang Chong's father left, he has been helping to take care of Wang Chong and his mother, this small restaurant, Wang Xiang helped Zhang Luo up.
"When I went to work in the morning, I heard someone say that I saw you, and I didn't see you go back, so I wondered if you were here."
"When did you come back?"
"Last night!" Wang Zhong replied according to the memory provided by the system.
"What did you learn when you went out this time?" This is what Wang Xiang is most concerned about.
"I've learned a lot, won't I rush back right away!"
Wang Xiang looked at Wang Chong and said straightforwardly: "After leaving for a few months, I don't say that I will bring a letter to my home, and I won't call in advance when I come back, tell me about you, are you taking your uncle as an outsider?"
"Uncle, you misunderstood me, didn't I just come back, didn't I have time yet!" Wang Zhong explained with an aggrieved face: "I patronized all the way, but I didn't tire me to death, if you hadn't called me outside, I might not have gotten up until I slept."
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Young poor mouth, I don't know you yet! Okay, I still have to go to work, remember to go to the house for dinner at night, your aunt can talk about you every day!"
"Then you go to work quickly, and I'll go by myself in the evening." Wang Chong respectfully sent Wang Xiang out of the door.
According to the memory provided by the system, he is older than Wang Yang, this year is twenty-one, it is already the end of July and almost August, Wang Yang's college entrance examination has long ended, and it is estimated that the results should almost come out at this time.
The memory given by the system doesn't have much memory of Wang Yang, and he still has the impression of a runny little kid, who hates dogs, and has played with his ass for a long time.
Not far from Huagang is the Hualin Health Vocational College, and the people of Hualin like to call Huayi, that is, the school where Silence and Qu Bo are about to report.
It's the end of July and nearly August, it's summer vacation, and it's still a while before school starts.
Wang resettled his mind, clarified his thoughts, and simply packed up the marching bed and the luggage beside the bed, which was a much better start than many dungeons.
Although the house of the restaurant was rented, he paid a year's rent and signed a three-year contract, and there were more than 5,000 yuan in the passbook in his memory, and the passbook was the inheritance left by his parents who died in this world to Wang Chong.
took out all the cash on his body and sorted it out briefly, the total number of zeros and zeros added up to more than two hundred, and all the net worth added up to less than six thousand, which is nothing in the future generations, but at this time, it is also a large deposit.
There is no need to trouble Wang Chongzi to get start-up funds, tossing back and forth.
After cleaning up the inside and outside of the restaurant, in the afternoon, Wang Zhong carried a net of fruits into the birch steel.
The identity of the system arrangement itself is the child of Huagang, although he failed to take over his parents' class and work in Huagang, but the dormitory assigned to Wang Chong's family in the factory was not returned, after all, Wang Chong's mother in this world has only been gone for a year, and Huagang has been going downhill all these years, and there has been no recruitment for several years, after all, the parents of this world have worked in Huagang all their lives, and both lives have been put into it, and Huagang is naturally not good at doing such a thing as a bird to hide and drive Wang Chong out of the Huagang dormitory.
In fact, like Wang Chong, there are many young people whose parents are not there, but still live in the birch steel dormitory.
But things are very different.
Wang Zhong also learned their crafts and opened a restaurant, although the business is average, but he is also a business student, but the other young people who failed to top the board watched a few old tricky movies from the Xiangjiang side, and they were not lightly poisoned, a group of people got together, either stealing chickens and dogs or bullying the market, fighting and fighting, doing some illegal things, making people tired of dogs.
came to the dormitory area and knocked on the door of Wang Xiang's house, and it was Wang Xiang's son Wang Yang who opened the door, the unlucky and sad young man.
"Brother!" Seeing Wang Chong, Wang Yang was very surprised, and even more happy: "When did you come back?"
"Yesterday!"
"Come in!"
"Come in!"
"Yang'er, who's that?" Wang Yang's mother, Luo Meisu, heard her voice from the kitchen.
"Mom! It's Brother Chong here!"
"Xiaozhong?" Luo Meisu saw Wang Chong, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes also wrinkled with a smile.
"Auntie!"
"Does your uncle know you're back?"
"Got it, Uncle Hibiki went to my store at noon!"
"You and Yang'er will talk first, I'll cook!" Luo Meisu entered the kitchen, and Wang Yang pulled Wang Zhong to sit and chat.
"Brother, how did you learn your craft?"
"What do you say?" Wang Chong smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
Wang Yang said: "Then you must have learned, with your ability, learn to stir-fry, that's not a piece of cake!"
The identity of the system arrangement is that his mother is sick in bed all the year round, Wang Chong has been very independent since he was a child, and cooking and stir-frying and washing are not ordinary.
"It's done! When I come back this time, I plan to pick up the restaurant, get a new sign, and reopen it!"
"Business is going to be booming this time!" Wang Yang patted the horses, but it was not against his will, after all, Wang Chong's prestige in the younger generation of Birch Steel was fought with a pair of iron fists, and Wang Chong never took the initiative to provoke trouble, as long as you don't provoke him, don't be seen by him if you bully people.
"I heard Uncle Xiang say that you failed the college entrance examination?" Wang Chong changed the topic and looked at Wang Yang with a smile.
The smile on Wang Yang's face froze instantly, and he lowered his head a little embarrassedly and rubbed the back of his head, and said embarrassedly, "I'm not the material for studying!"
Wang Chongdao: "What are your plans? I see Uncle Xiang, do you want you to repeat it?"
Wang Yang suddenly shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Brother, you know me, I'm not reading material at all, I know those words one by one, but if they are crowded together, just looking at me will make me dizzy and sleepy, where can I learn it."
"You!"
Wang Chong looked at Wang Yang and said with some emotion: "I think Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xiang take care of you too well, you obviously have the opportunity to study, but you don't want to cherish it, in the countryside, many children don't have the opportunity to study, either work in the fields, farm and herd cattle, or go all the way to the south to work."
"I want to go to work too!" Wang Yang met Wang Chong's seemingly penetrating gaze, and said urgently and seriously, "I want to make money."
Wang Chong probably guessed Wang Yang's thoughts, it was nothing more than that his mother Luo Meisu was not in good health, and she spent tens of thousands of yuan on surgery the year before last, and emptied the little money that the family had saved so hard, and even though relatives and friends borrowed a lot, but so far the factory has not reimbursed her.
After failing in the college entrance examination, Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, eager to work to make money and help his parents share the pressure.
Wang looked at the kitchen, patted Wang Yang on the shoulder, and said, "Let's talk about this later."
Wang Yang also knew what Wang Chong meant, it was nothing more than that his mother and father were looking forward to Wang Yang's repetition, entrance examination, and realization of the dragon gate.
"Brother, how is your restaurant, when do you plan to reopen?" Wang Yang changed the topic, and in turn cared about Wang again.
"After a while, the craft will be learned, and the restaurant will have to be renovated, at least the signboard will have to be replaced, and I will definitely not be able to do it alone, so I will have to hire a few people to help."
"Brother, why don't I go and help you for a while?" Wang Yang volunteered.
"You?" Wang Zhong looked Wang Yang up and down: "The person I want to recruit is to serve tea, deliver water, deliver vegetables, wash vegetables, wash dishes, clean up the table, and clean up, are you okay?"
"Why can't I!" Wang Yang was unhappy: "Don't you underestimate people, I don't help my mother work at home!"
"Mom, did you say that?" Wang Yang yelled at the kitchen.
"That's true!" Luo Meisu poked out most of his head from the kitchen: "My Yang'er is really doing a good job."
"Nacheng, as long as Uncle Xiang and my aunt have no opinion, you can come over!"
"Okay!"
"Let's talk about it first, if you go, you are not allowed to complain, you are not allowed to pick a child for me halfway, if you can't do it, then you should do it as soon as possible, I can hire someone to do the work!"
"Brother, don't you know who I am! Put your heart in your belly!"
After having dinner at Wang Xiang's house, Wang Chong went straight back to his own residence in the next building, and as soon as he walked downstairs, he saw a young man in his twenties who was like 20,000 in his hands in his pockets, and walked out with figure-eight steps.
"Wang Zhong!" Seeing Wang Zhong downstairs with a pestle like a telephone pole, the footsteps of the visitor were stagnant, and there was a little fear in surprise, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
Wang Chong said, "Let go, don't get in the way!"
The young man subconsciously retreated to the side, got out of the way, and waited for Wang Chong to walk into the stairs, then he came back to his senses, looked at Wang Chong's back as he disappeared into the corridor, and after his face changed uncertainly for a while, he turned around and walked away quickly.
It was none other than Wang Chong who passed by, it was Xiaofeng who stole Ma Desheng's tires in the original play, beat Fu Weijun and Sui Dong, and was also the head of those young people who had no jobs in Huagang.
Wang Chong had taught them a lesson before, and they naturally resisted, but Wang Chong's force value was too strong, and once Xiao Feng entangled twenty or thirty young and strong young men, all of whom grew up fighting on the street all year round, and their brains were hot, and they didn't care about anything, and they all held sticks and blocked Wang Chong outside the birch steel.
But I don't want to be forced down by Wang Chong with a pair of iron fists, and they have all been cleaned up, if it weren't for the rule of law now, Wang Chong's efforts, the twenty or thirty gangsters would have to lie down in the factory hospital for a month.
Wang Chong also became famous because of this battle, and became one of the most unprovoked people in Birch Steel, in the eyes of Xiaofeng, a group of gangsters who have been fighting every day, the degree of danger is even far greater than that of the section chief of the security department, Xing San'er, the factory director Song Yukun and others.
Xiao Feng saw Wang Chong,
It's like a mouse seeing a cat.
The key is that Wang Chong still can't rub sand in his eyes, but whenever he sees them doing something sneaky, one counts as one, and he has to be cleaned up by Wang Chong, although it doesn't hurt his muscles and bones, but it really hurts.
Thinking of what he and the others had done recently, Xiao Feng's complexion changed suddenly, and he quickly sped up and ran all the way, just like a tiger behind him.
Looking at Xiao Feng's figure of running away, Wang Chong shook his head, to be honest, Wang Chong really doesn't look down on people like Xiao Feng, he doesn't do anything serious, he gets into trouble all day long, and now it's just stealing chickens and dogs, fighting and fighting, but what about the future? Smuggling and drug trafficking?
Wang Zhong knows that some of them are actually good in nature, but their parents left early, there is no elder discipline, and the efficiency of birch steel is getting lower and lower, maybe they will fall one day, and they can't stand their parents' classes, and now there are laid-off workers everywhere, and they can't find jobs, so naturally they have no income, no income, and some people who don't have family members naturally have no food to eat, and they don't have to eat, so how can they still have the energy to think about right or wrong.
