Chapter 6: If you are poor, you will think about change and be ambitious

One

The little boy's emotional heart can no longer be restrained since he met Yingge and accepted her handkerchief with his own hands. The beautiful girl has become the image in his mind, showing in front of his eyes all the time, and the moment is ruthless. He likes beautiful girls, admires beautiful girls, and pours more attention to the faces of beautiful girls. The disparity in family background once made him suppress his love for beautiful girls. But I thought to myself: "Although I am poor, I have shown her good feelings and even love for me from the beautiful girl's expression and handkerchief." I can't refuse this kind of affection for myself, this kind of disclosure of love for myself and even for myself! In addition, I also thought, thought, and loved her, but I didn't dare to boldly confess. Isn't it because they are too poor? Isn't it because your own family is too poor to climb high? If you think about it, what's so terrible about poverty? As the saying goes, 'If you are poor, you will think about change'. Poverty can be changed, and as long as you are determined to change poverty, you can have a better future. I thought to myself, with confidence. What prompted the little boy to make up his mind to change the poverty was the father of the beautiful girl, and he just helped the beautiful girl jump into the river and pick up a cool hat, but the father of the beautiful girl was determined to reward himself with a silver ticket, which hurt himself and made him feel very humiliated. Isn't it because you are too poor to reward yourself with a silver ticket? I don't feel inferior to poverty, I don't bend my waist for poverty, and I don't lose my personality because of poverty. He secretly made up his mind to work hard, pull out the poor roots, and live a prosperous life.

The young boy's name is Xiao Yong, and he was born in Takeda Village. The family has been passed down for several generations, and his mother died early, and he lived with his father. Dad Wu Qiang is an honest and responsible farmer, facing the loess with his back to the sky all day long, but he still can't eat.

Although Xiao Yong, who was determined to pull out the roots of poverty, was only thirteen years old, the poverty of his family made him mature prematurely, and he thought about it day and night at a young age. I want to change poverty and have something to eat, but this is not enough to rely on hard work. I can't rely on my father to do odd jobs and work long hours to maintain the family. Dad has been working for the landlord, but the family's situation has not only not improved, but has deteriorated. In the event of natural or man-made disasters, the life of the family cannot be sustained. Therefore, thirteen-year-old Xiao Yong actually walked out of the house and embarked on the road to survival.

He doesn't want to work in the ground all year round facing the loess with his back to the sky like his father, paying more and getting less in return. He was going to get out of the house and do decent and well-paid errands. So, he walked down the street trying to sell himself. This idea was stifled by itself before it flashed. I thought to myself: "It's not appropriate to sell yourself on the street, and you have to recommend yourself in person according to your personal love." "What do you recommend yourself to do? You have to have a goal, and you have to have a standard! Thinking about it for yourself, it's still "doing business." "You don't have to sweat a lot to do business, you don't have to pay a lot of hard work, and you have income every day, and you can see money every day. This is much stronger than the crop man. How much money can a farmer see a year? The money I saw was so poignant. This sad money has no other way to make money except to pick eggs in the butt of chickens and sell piglets and lambs. Thinking of this, agriculture is not my first choice, I have made up my mind, and I immediately give action to find a way.

On this day, he got up early, still wearing his pants, bareback and bare-chested, and was about to go out of the house, when his father immediately stopped him and said, "You go to make a living, why don't you carry a merchant horse bag?" ”

"Dad, what's the use of me going to make a living, and not going to the market to carry a merchant horse bag? On a hot day, the merchant horse bag is on the shoulder, isn't it hot on the heat. Also, you see that I am not dressed up in the first place, and if I carry a dirty and torn business horse bag, wouldn't it add a little ugliness and lose a few talents? ”

"Oh, my son still loves beauty, and he doesn't want to carry it."

The son heard his father's voice and immediately said, "Dad, I'll carry it, I'll carry it!" So he took off the tattered and dirty merchant horse bag hanging on the wall, put it on his shoulder, and strode out of the house.

He traveled all the way, one to buy time, and the other to try to cool off as soon as possible. I have something in my heart and I am in a hurry. In addition, Yingge settled in his mind, accompanied him all the way, and unconsciously arrived on the bank of the canal.

He stood at the ferry, touching the scene, standing there quietly thinking about the Yingge hat flying down instantly, recalling that he jumped into the surging canal and fighting with the rapids, recalling the congratulations of the people who took the ferry boat with the cool hat in his hand, recalling the loneliness of standing in front of the beautiful girl stupidly, and recalling the moment of the beautiful girl's own heart...... This is intoxicating, exciting, and unforgettable, and the images are flashing in front of you. He stood there, staring at the rushing river, staring blankly, staring blankly. This contemplation, this gaze gathers into an endless sweetness that fills the heart.

When I was intoxicated with sweetness and intoxicated by beauty and couldn't extricate myself, I only heard the boatman shouting: "Little boy, the ship is going offshore, what are you thinking about if you don't board the ship as soon as possible?" This shout recalled and restrained the little boy's thoughts, and the flying heart quickly retracted. He hurriedly replied, "Ferry, ferry, you wait a moment." So saying, he immediately ran and jumped into the boat, and the boatman rowed the oars. I saw the boatman rowing slowly, then accelerated, and the boat instantly opened a silver-white waterline and floated on the water. I looked at the rushing river, looked at the boats far away from the shore, and all the emotions that were recalled and contained were brought by the boat to the other side of the riverbank. He jumped out of the boat and thought to himself, "I'm really afraid of flying, I almost missed the boat, and if it wasn't for the boatman shouting, I don't know how long I would have to wait." This endless thoughts, endless recollections, is both intoxicating and misleading! He thought, hurrying along. From time to time I came to the river, which was a market town. Buy, sell. There are those who walk, and there are those who enter. Some people were full of smiles, and some people shouted in frustration: "I'm really frustrated, give this money and drag my daughter away, what kind of world is this?!" The old man said angrily that he wanted to drag his daughter, but her daughter was already crying and was dragged away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. This scene was completely watched by Xiao Yong, and then he followed closely behind the dragged girl and stared at it. The girl followed the buyer and turned left and right and was dragged into a wealthy family.

This family is a powerful person who dominates one side, and the ancestor is an official of the imperial court, although the ancestor has died, but the residual warmth still exists, and the influence is still there. Therefore, the descendants can do whatever they want with the help of the influence and connections of their ancestors. In this scene just now, the name is to buy people, but in fact it is to rob people, there is no bargaining, only symbolic giving. In this way, the little girl was symbolically given a few pieces of money and taken away by the old man, regardless of whether the old man agreed or not, he dragged the person away. The little girl followed the buyer to the buyer's house, and was temporarily told to wait outside the door, and she stood outside the door crying: "Daddy, Daddy" and crying, "I'll go home, I'll go home." When the buyer saw the little girl crying and screaming, he immediately rebuked angrily and said, "If you cry again, call me to circle you again." The little girl sobbed softly in fear of obscenity. The buyer saw that the little girl was not crying loudly, and then admonished: "You wait here honestly, and you are not allowed to leave half a step." After speaking, he took three steps and made two steps to report.

Xiao Yong, who followed behind, saw the little girl crying so sadly, and saw that there was no one else around, only the little girl stood there crying bitterly, so he hurriedly walked to the little girl and said, "Little sister, don't cry, come with me, I will help you go home." ”

The little girl glanced at Xiao Yong with tears in her eyes, and had doubts about this strange young man: "Is he a good person or a bad person?" It's a bad guy who just dragged me in, and I can't stay here. As for the man who said to save me home? Her heart was churning, she saw Xiao Yong wearing Baina pants, bare arms and bare chests, and a pair of torn and dirty merchant horse bags on his shoulders, his appearance obviously told herself that this young man was as poor as herself, and it could be judged from his words and deeds that he must be a good person. Thinking about it, she turned around and ran out of the gate with Xiao Yong without thinking, fleeing in the opposite direction from which she came
