Xiao Liu heard from the tone of several people that they were a little scared, he didn't answer immediately, paused for a while, put on a domineering posture, and said; "You know in your hearts what is going on, and I have nothing to say when it comes to this. Treat yourself to dinner, just skip it, and talk about it when you have time. ”

Those people luckily left, Fang Wei and the three of them returned to the room, and Xiao Liu asked Dapeng; "What the hell is going on? You make it clear, let me know the bottom of my heart. ”

Dapeng told the ins and outs of the matter; Those people saw that he was a foreigner, and they didn't know where to get an old car, and they didn't even have a household registration, so they had to sell it to him, so they pestered him for several days. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the car loser, and brought the police to find him, and scared a few ruffians to run away. After the police left, those people came back again, saying that he had told the secret, and he had to pay tens of thousands of yuan.

Xiao Liu said; "Oh, I see. These people are the gangsters in society, who don't have much ability, and they specialize in making a living by defrauding people. ”

Fang Wei asked Xiao Liu; "I'm a little strange, how did you stop those people and talk to you so politely, what is your relationship with them? Gotta tell us about it. ”

Xiao Liu said; "Such scoundrels in society, I don't deal with them, I don't bother to pay attention to them. We don't have anything to do with each other, and we don't know each other. Maybe they've seen me, or heard my name, but I don't know how they know about me. ”

Dapeng took over and said; "Fellow, you just came, you don't know Xiao Liu yet, don't look at his literary crepe, he doesn't speak loudly, his fame is not small. When encountering unreasonable people, Xiao Liu never cares about them, and there is no need to do anything, as long as Xiao Liu says his name, no matter how big the problem is, it can be solved. What he wants to do, he can generally do it, and he has to give face to both black and white. ”

Dapeng's brief introduction to Xiao Liu, Fang Wei probably understood him, and thought, no need to fight and kill, can make black and white admire, Fang Wei has never seen it, but he has only seen it in novels. Someone who can have this ability is hidden deeply, this is a powerful character.

Xiao Liu stood up, glanced out the window, looked at his watch again, and turned around and said; "There was a lot of noise just now, you should be hungry, let's go, go to my house for dinner"

After all, Fang Wei and Xiao Liu* had just met, he was a little hesitant and said embarrassedly; "I won't go today, I'll go to your house tomorrow."

"It's all fellow countrymen, you're welcome." Xiao Liu's voice just fell, and Dapeng, who grew up with him since childhood, grabbed Fang Wei's arm and dragged him outside the door.

The three of them walked out onto the street, where the shops were still open, and some of them were closed. Streetlights illuminate the streets, like a ribbon of your brightness, piercing the dark night sky and reaching out into the jungle of high-rise buildings.

The hotel is not far from Xiao Liu's house, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk. Walking in, it is a courtyard house, where several families live, all of whom work in the provincial party committee. Xiao Liu's family lives in three main rooms, and when the door is opened, his mother is home alone, the table has been set up, and he has not seen his father.

Xiao Liu introduced Fang Wei to his mother, who greeted Fang Wei warmly, said a few kind words, and asked the nanny to add two more dishes. Mother beckoned Fang Wei into the dining room to sit down and said; "It's not early, it looks like his dad won't come back, don't wait, let's eat first."

After eating, Fang Wei learned that Xiao Liu's father's hometown is from Hedong, and his mother is from northern Hebei. Parents met and married in the army. There are three children in the family, Xiao Liu is the youngest, there is an elder brother and an elder sister, all of whom work in the army's art troupe.

Xiao Liu said that in those days, his parents' unit fought all the way to the south, and after the liberation of Lingnan, it was necessary to transfer a group of cadres from the army to work in the locality, and his parents were among them. This group of cadres who took off their military uniforms and stayed in the local area, that is, what people often called 'southbound cadres' later, their fathers worked in the provincial party committee, and their mothers worked in the Cultural Bureau.

After Fang Wei got acquainted with Xiao Liu's family, he went to his house at night when he had nothing to do and had a family meal with Xiao Liu's mother. Fang Wei is looking for a job during the day, staying alone in the hotel at night, there is no one to talk to, lonely and boring, it has become a habit to chat with fellow villagers.

Fang Wei's room has no TV, so he can only go to the reception room to watch it. There was a broken TV in the reception room, which was clear for a while, blurry for a while, and sometimes had to be slapped with your hands a few times before the image appeared. Even so, there are still a lot of people who watch TV at night.

On Sunday evening, Xiao Liu came to Fang Wei and said that his father was off today, and he could talk to his father about finding a job to see if he could help. Fang Wei locked the door of the room and walked out of the hotel door with Xiao Liu.

Fang Wei came to Xiao Liu's house, Xiao Liu introduced Fang Wei to his father, and Fang Wei hurriedly greeted; "Hello uncle!"

After Fang Wei finished speaking, he stood in place and did not move, a little at a loss, looking cautious.

"Little fellow, sit down, don't be restrained, just like in your own home." Xiao Liu's father pointed to the sofa next to him and said.

Xiao Liu's father asked Fang Wei about the situation in his hometown, and he answered truthfully, at the same time, the purpose of his coming here, and the situation of looking for a job in a few days, picked up important words and said a few words, Xiao Liu's father looked at Fang Wei, did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.

"I just came to Lingnan, I don't know the place well, and I have to trouble my uncle, can I help find a job." Fang Wei said politely.

"I'll think about it and give you an answer in a few days, okay?" Xiao Liu's father said kindly.

"Thank you, uncle, for bothering you." Fang Wei stood up and politely thanked him.

"Sit down and say, sit down and say, if you are so polite, you will see the outside" Xiao Liu's father motioned for Fang Wei to sit down and continued; "You are a newcomer, you have no acquaintances, if you have any difficulties in the future and need help, come to me at home."

After chatting for a while, the wall clock on the wall will be eleven o'clock in a few minutes, and staying will affect Xiao Liu's whole family to rest, Fang Wei got up and said goodbye.

Fang Wei often goes to his hometown's house, and as the number of times increases, the more he understands. The two old men treated him like children, and spoke kindly and easily. Fang Wei also treated the two elders as parents, and handed over the inconvenient and fearful passbook he brought with him to Xiao Liu's mother for safekeeping.

Xiao Liu's parents were very happy to see that Fang Wei trusted them so much, and as long as the family made good food, they called Fang Wei there. Fang Wei didn't treat himself as an outsider, 'uncle, aunt' kept calling. Every time Fang Wei went to his hometown, the two old people called him 'little fellow', asking for warmth and warmth, like family.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, Fang Wei is running around every day, busy looking for a job, and he is so anxious that he has no time to take care of anything else.

One day, Fang Wei was busy with work all morning, but the work still had no results, and he was a little depressed. He walked down the street weakly, and when he saw that there was food on the side of the road, and he was a little hungry, he sat down in front of the stall, asked for an egg fried rice, and ate it slowly.

Fang Wei thought back to the past few days, there was no eyebrow at work, and the ideological pressure was not small, almost crushing himself. Fang Wei planned to calm down and rest for a long time, and it was time to relax the nerves that had been tense for days.

Fang Wei plans to use the afternoon time to relax after eating, take a look at the street scene, visit the mall, and buy some daily necessities.

Fang Wei left the food stall and walked along the street to see, not far from the construction site, the buildings are like mushrooms after the rain, growing rapidly, one day at a time.

The streets are full of people rushing and rushing. There are many shopping malls on both sides of the street, and there are a variety of goods, most of which Fang Wei has never seen before.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are many newly opened restaurants, how the food tastes, Fang Wei has never eaten, but it is an atmospheric and novel signboard, made of colorful colors, flashing with attractive light.

At this time, there was a beautiful singing voice not far away, Fang Wei followed the singing, a young man in strange costumes, standing not far away with a tape recorder, and the song was played by his tape recorder.

The soft singing voice is so good, Fang Wei is fascinated by it. At that time, Fang Wei was thinking, how could he dare to broadcast this beautiful sound publicly on the street, if it was in his hometown in the north, I was afraid that someone would be looking for trouble.

Fang Wei walked in front of the young man and inquired about it, only to find out that the song was sung by Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng. The young man said that the tapes of Teresa Teng's songs were brought over through smuggling or businessmen from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

In Lingnan, a city at the forefront of reform and opening up, there is such a degree of openness, which surprised Fang Dawei. He thinks that people can listen to this beautiful and physically and mentally pleasant song after busy work, which can relieve the pressure of work and is a kind of spiritual enjoyment.

Since then, Fang Wei has fallen in love with Teresa Teng's songs, just like having eaten delicious food and being addicted, and he likes it very much. If you can't hear Teresa Teng's songs for a while, it's like losing your soul, and Fang Wei still keeps most of Teresa Teng's tapes.

Although decades have passed, Fang Wei still retains the habits of his youth, if he has free time, he takes out a well-preserved tape and listens to a few beautiful songs of Teresa Teng, perhaps it is a nostalgia for that era.

Fang Wei wandered the streets for an afternoon, hearing a foreign accent in the south and north, and rarely saw locals. People from all over the country, coming and going in a hurry, busy, full of vitality, Nanling is like the rising sun, vigorous and radiant.

The torrent of reform and opening up has spread from the coastal areas to the whole country, and the spirit of Nanling people who dare to be the first and have the courage to work hard indicates the opening of a new era.

Lingnan is like a gold-rich mine that has been excavated, attracting aspiring young people from all over the country to come here to start a business. Just like the gold rush in the United States and China, it attracted people from all over the world who dared to take risks, abandon their families, work tirelessly, and rush thousands of miles.

For more than half a month, Fang Wei has almost traveled all over Lingnan City, and everything he sees and hears is full of busy people. Fang Wei realized that Lingnan is the land of his dreams, and he should follow the trend of the times and participate in it, and it is not in vain to live his life.

Fang Wei secretly rejoiced, quite proud, feeling that he had come at the right time and at the right time, just in time for the tide of the times.

When night falls, the lights are on, the bustling flow of people, and a lively scene. Fang Wei passed by a night market, which was full of all kinds of food stalls, special delicacies from all over the country, sour, spicy, sweet, fragrant, attractive in color, and the aroma wafted all over the street, drilling into Fang Wei's nose.

The shouting of the stall owners, Mandarin mixed with dialects, one after another, attracts beautiful men and women who hang out.

The weather has turned hot, and there are many diners at the stalls, some people take off their shirts, sit around the small table, throw off their arms, guess the order, eat and drink, make loud noises, and indulge themselves to the fullest, so it is an intoxicating and lively scene.

The liveliness of the night market and the aroma of the food attracted Fang Wei. At this time, he felt hungry and tired, wanted to sit down and eat something, and found several stalls, but they were all overcrowded, and there was not even an empty seat, so he could only leave in disappointment.

The next morning, it rained until noon, and there was no intention of stopping, and Fang Wei's plan to go out to find a job was in vain.

Fang Wei returned to the room, lying on the bed bored, flipping through the newspapers he had bought for a few days. At this time, there was a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Dapeng, a fellow who lived in the next room, Fang Wei said with a smile; "Fellow, come in and sit down."

"Not going in." Dapeng looked at his watch and continued; "It's twelve o'clock, it's almost a little bit, aren't you hungry?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the umbrella, let's go eat together." Fang Wei said, turned around to get the umbrella, and walked out of the room.

The two of them left the hotel, and not far away was the restaurant that Fang Wei frequented. The two are fellow villagers, naturally have the same taste, and both like to eat northern food.

After one o'clock at noon, the peak of dining has passed, and there are not many people eating in the restaurant. The two of them found an empty table and sat down. Fang Wei habitually hung his shirt on the back of the seat, Dapeng ordered four dishes, asked for two bottles of beer, the waiter quickly brought the wine and food to the table, and the two chatted while eating.
