Fang Wei's excitement when he came to Nanling has long passed, and he feels that he has been away from his hometown for a long time, and his longing for his hometown is increasing day by day. At this time of year, the climate of my hometown is slowly warming, and on the slopes of the rising sun, the snow should melt, revealing the red-black land, which has grown green.

In the shade of the mountain, although the wind is cold, the power of the cold is gradually exhausting. The warm snow water in the morning sun flowed down the valley, melting the hard snow layer, and the white waterfall frozen on the rocks also began to move, and the sound of flowing water became louder and louder day by day. Eventually, a raging rush was formed, rushing down the hill and into the river, where the ice broke into pieces and flowed downward.

Gusts of warm wind, carrying the news of new prosperity spread to almost every corner. The green hills, the green fields, the earth has awakened from its slumber, and the spring seedlings in the fields are like spring women, dancing with tender green clothes.

The willow silk on the river bank reveals goose-yellow leaf buds. In a few days, the mountains will be full of flowers, and the catkins will also flutter in the wind, which is really in response to Su Shi's poem; 'The catkins are full of flowers when they fly. ’

After nearly a month of suffering, Fang Wei finally waited for good news. The state-owned enterprises introduced by my uncle have good working conditions, and at the same time, Fang Wei has also been hired by several private companies, Hong Kong-funded and Taiwan-funded enterprises.

After some careful consideration, Fang Wei made a choice that met his expectations; Domestic-funded enterprises are treated well, but they lack vitality, and Taiwan-funded enterprises become a little stingy, and finally decide to go to Hong Kong-funded enterprises.

In the evening, Fang Wei came to the hometown uncle's house and put his thoughts together in a consultative tone, and the hometown uncle expressed his understanding and support, and said; "Young people, it should be like this, there is a lot of courage, private enterprises can train people, and it is good for future development. Although state-owned enterprises are good, there are still many drawbacks, which are difficult to solve at present. ”

He looked at Fang Wei, paused slightly, and continued; "The reform and opening up period has not been long, and it can only be regarded as a new beginning, with Hong Kong and Taiwan capital accounting for more than 80 percent of the total amount of foreign investment attracted. Foreign-funded enterprises come to us, the main business is processing with supplied materials, sample processing, assembly of supplied parts and compensation trade, which is often said to be 'three to one supplement.' Among them, labor-intensive enterprises such as home appliances, toys, clothes, shoes and socks, and printed matter occupy an important position. It is not easy for Lingnan City to develop from a small fishing village to its current scale, after a lot of hard work. Factories, commerce, construction, and other industries flourished, absorbing millions of laborers. In the initial stage of reform and opening up, all ministries and commissions implemented the will of the central government with the firmest determination and took the lead in investing in Lingnan, which played a leading role. The infrastructure construction of three links and one level has been vigorously carried out, and only then has there been high-rise buildings, factories, and markets under construction everywhere. Lingnan has achieved unprecedented prosperity, and the eyes of businessmen from all over the world are focused on us. It can be said that this is a miracle in the history of mankind. Of course, it is still in the exploration stage, and there may be some problems in some places. In the face of new things, there is no experience to follow, and it is normal for something to go wrong. People make mistakes, let alone a city, a country. ”

Uncle Fellow habitually uses words, and has the tone of a leader, and when it comes to excitement, he forgets that this is in his own home. The fellow uncle was in a very good mood and did not obviously put himself in a leadership position, just like a father and a child chattering.

That night, the old countryman uncle talked a lot about the situation at home and abroad, and the conversation was also energetic, and before I knew it, it was past midnight......

A few days later, Fang Wei went to work in a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, and obviously felt that the management model was completely different from that of mainland enterprises. Fang Wei worked in a strange and fresh environment, and he was a little uncomfortable at first, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes in his work.

As time passed, Fang Wei slowly adapted to the intense and busy work, and did it well.

After a few months, Fang Wei got acquainted with his colleagues and got along well. He learned that his colleagues were all renting rooms outside, and no one had been living in a hotel like him.

Most of my colleagues rent houses near the factory, and a few people live far away, and those who live far away from the factory have cars or motorcycles.

Near the factory, renting a house is not expensive, it is much cheaper than staying in a hotel, and you can cook your own food, which can save a lot of money every month.

Fang Wei also knew that staying in a hotel was not a long-term thing, and it was too expensive to eat out. More than half of the monthly salary will be spent, and if this continues, it is difficult to guarantee 80% of the salary expected to be sent to the parents.

Fang Wei was determined to rent a house as soon as possible to alleviate the financial pressure and ensure the living expenses of his family.

Fang Wei took advantage of the rest time to wander around for a few days, looked at several rental houses, and finally selected a Chaoyang house with good conditions in all aspects, negotiated the price with the landlord, paid the rent, and moved in on the day the room was cleaned up.

Fang Wei finally found his own place near the factory, a wandering heart, and settled down.

One Sunday, Fang Wei got up early in the morning, rushed to the vegetable market to buy things, and prepared to invite his colleagues to dinner at noon.

Fang Wei had just finished buying vegetables, and suddenly, it was pouring rain, and he forgot to bring an umbrella when he went out, so he had to find a place to shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to stop.

Fang Wei waited for almost an hour, the rain was still falling outside the shed, and the dark clouds in the sky were rolling like crazy, as if they were going to swallow the earth.

Fang Wei looked out anxiously, thinking to himself, it seemed that the rain couldn't stop for a while, so he could only wait helplessly.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Fang Wei walked back and forth helplessly. At this moment, a man walked briskly with something and almost collided with him head-on.

The two of them stood at the same time, Fang Wei just wanted to apologize, looked up and was stunned, and the people in front of him were also stunned, looking at each other awkwardly.

Fang Wei suddenly met her, he couldn't react for a while, he was a little overwhelmed, he didn't know what to say, and stared at others stupidly. She was also a little surprised, seeing that Fang Wei had been looking at her, her lips moved, as if she wanted to speak, but before the words came out, her face turned red first.

Fang Wei hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to speak; "Excuse me, I almost bumped into you, but you also came to buy groceries?"

She was a little restrained, just nodded, didn't say anything, and turned her head unnaturally to look away. Fang Wei was talking to himself, as if he was talking to her; "It's raining so hard, I don't know when I'll be able to stop, I'm stuck here, and I can't go home."

"When I went out, the weather was good, and the rain would fall as soon as it was said, and it seemed that it couldn't stop for a while." She replied.

"The weather is like a child's face, it's hard to fathom, and it changes when you say it." He chimed in.

"Yes, the weather in Lingnan is like this, it's hard to predict." She said.

After a while, the torrential rain turned the streets and alleys into raging rivers, and from a distance, they looked like countless wild horses, galloping away, impacting the houses on both sides of the street.

The shopkeeper stood naked in the rain, busily raising the threshold with sandbags in an attempt to stop the flood water from flowing into the house.

The rain kept falling, mixed with lightning and rolling thunder, and it fell heavier and heavier, as if the heavenly river had burst its embankment, pouring its anger on the world.

The clouds were thicker, darker, lower, and covered the land. The city darkened, and the tall buildings in the distance and the nearby buildings seemed as if the whole city was about to disappear into the white rain.

"It seems that the rain can't stop, and going home has become a problem." Fang Wei said worriedly.

She saw that Fang Wei was a little anxious, and she also felt that this was a good opportunity that could not be missed, and asked; "Where do you live? Not far from that? ”

"It's not too far, just two corners." Fang Wei replied.

"What's the name of where you live?" She asked.

"Guangming Village." Fang Wei replied.

"I happened to be driving through there, so I can take you there." She said.

"Thank you! Don't bother you. Anyway, today is Sunday, so I don't have to go to work, I have time, and I'll talk about it when the rain stops. Fang Wei said.

In fact, she and Fang Wei have the same doubts, since the first time she saw Fang Wei in the restaurant, she felt a little familiar, after returning home, she thought about it many times, she couldn't remember where she had seen it, she also wanted to find the answer.

She told a few of her girlfriends what she thought, and the answer she got was a joke; "Do you think men want to go crazy, and when you see a handsome guy, you seem to have seen it in a dream."

got her best friend's ridiculous answer, she was helpless and angry, and couldn't turn her face with her best friend, so she had to put the idea of exploration aside.

She never took care of housework, such as trivial things like grocery shopping, all of which were done by a nanny. Today, for some reason, the ghost sent the gods to the vegetable market, but it rained heavily, and I met him occasionally, which is really providential.

She couldn't miss this opportunity, so she had to figure out the doubts in her heart, so she spoke; "There's no need to be polite, a big man, get in my car, can I still eat you."

She opened the umbrella without hesitation, motioned for Fang Wei to follow her, and looked at him with firm and indisobedient eyes, Fang Wei felt her sincerity, which he couldn't ask for, forced the little excitement in his heart, and followed her quickly into the rain.

After getting into the car, she put away the umbrella, shook the water on the umbrella, looked at Fang Wei in the co-pilot seat, and said; "I'm going to go out for a walk today, but I didn't expect such a heavy rain, and my original plan was in the soup."

"Me too, I plan to walk around the city after lunch and prepare some daily necessities for the next week, but it seems that I can't go." Fang Wei said.

The two men looked at each other for a moment, smiled knowingly, and she asked; "Where are you from?"

"Hedong people." Fang Wei replied.

"Which county?" She asked.

"Xingping County." Fang Wei said.

Hearing the three words of Xingping County, she didn't believe her ears, hesitated slightly, immediately opened her eyes wide, examined Fang Wei for a while, and asked in a skeptical tone; "Your hometown is really from Xingping County?"

"Can this be fake, can I lie to you?" Fang Wei said.

"I don't mean anything else, I just feel a little weird." She saw that Fang Wei was a little puzzled, and continued; "When I was a child, I followed my parents and lived in Xingping County for several years, and I attended Fangcun School in primary and junior high school."

"I'm from Fangcun, and I'm also ...... Fangcun School" Without waiting for Fang Wei to finish speaking, she hurriedly braked the car, stopped on the side of the road, steadied herself, stared at Fang Wei with her eyes, and asked; What is your name? ”

Fang Wei said the name; "The surname is Fang, the name is Fang Wei, and people who are familiar with me call me Xiaowei." Without waiting for her to speak, Fang Wei asked rhetorically; "What's your name?"

She replied; "Xiaoli!"

The two men looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Fang Wei said very excitedly; "No wonder near the train station, the northern restaurant, the first time I saw you, I felt so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere, I just couldn't remember, I always wanted to find an opportunity to ask clearly, I couldn't find a suitable opportunity, and today I got what I wanted."

"Me too!" She said; "When I saw you in a restaurant one day, I felt familiar, and when I came home, I thought about it, but I couldn't remember where I saw you. In particular, after knowing that you are from the north, my curiosity is stronger and I want to find an opportunity to ask about it. A few months have passed, and I haven't seen you again in the restaurant, and I'm a little disappointed. Today's rain meets is really providential. ”

She asked eagerly; "Where have you been these months? What did you do? Why don't you go to that restaurant to eat? ”

Driven by impatience, she asked one after another, but Fang Wei didn't give a chance to reply.

Two childhood playmates, more than ten years later, met again on a majestic morning in the heavy rain, and the excitement of the two people is self-evident.

Fang Wei remembered that when he was a child, his teacher often asked him to recite Tang poems and Song poems and some famous sentences, and four of them were used to describe them, and they met more than ten years later, which was the most appropriate; 'The night of the candle in the cave room, when the title of the gold list is inscribed, the long drought is sweet and rainy, and the old acquaintance is met in another country'. "Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land" can best reflect the excitement of the two at this time.

Fang Wei talked about the difficulties encountered in finding a job and some setbacks encountered in the past few months, and Fang Wei recounted in detail.

Xiaoli put her hands on the steering wheel, leaned her side face on her arms, looked at Fang Wei, showed a concerned look, and quietly listened to his experience of coming to Nanling.
