Back to the small fishing village in 1982

After walking for almost 20 minutes, Ye Yaodong saw that his father's footsteps were getting slower and slower, not as brisk as before, so he patted him on the shoulder and let him rest for a while.

After resting for about 5 minutes, he got under the pole by himself and picked it up.

Now Father Ye stopped rushing to do it, and his shoulders felt a little sore after walking a long way.

I just said a few words to my side, "If you can't do it, just say it."

"A man can't say no."

Father Ye glared at him, and even talked badly at him, but he didn't hold on to it. It wasn't the first day he knew what his son's virtues were.

"If you get tired later, put it down, and I will pick it up in turn. This way, you can take a rest. Now you have entered the city, and you can probably get there after a while. Buy some food when you arrive. , to fill my stomach, I don’t know what time I can transfer to home at night.”

"Ah."

"If you had bought a store in the county at that time, you wouldn't have to go through such a hassle... It's a long way to come and go, and there is no car on the way. I don't know how many times I will come and go, and the fare will be quite a lot. It's..."

"It's too much trouble to take a car by yourself. There are only two buses a day, which is no worse than the one every hour or two in our county. It's so close and convenient to go back and forth..."

Maybe there is no burden on the shoulders, so it is a lot easier. Father Ye started to think about it while walking.

Ye Yaodong was physically tired, hungry, and mentally tortured by his father, it was too painful.

"Don't talk about it anymore, there are no golden lumps to buy in the county, and..." After that, the traffic will be developed, and there will be a direct expressway, and it will take an hour to arrive.

"And why don't you say buy in the town? It's more convenient, you can walk there, ah yes, it's better to buy in our village, you don't have to go outside, you can walk with your eyes closed."

"You man, just say a few words to you with this attitude..."

"I've already bought it, so don't talk about 'if', 'if' and the like, you won't lose money, it's already a certainty, why are you talking about it every day?"

People who listen to it are annoying.

"Don't you think it's troublesome to go back and forth, and you feel distressed about the travel expenses?"

"Isn't it all earned back? I sold it for 90 yuan today, and I earned 2/3 of it and got [-] or [-]. Don't talk about it. There are advantages and disadvantages. It's good to make money. What's the trouble? Don't be afraid of trouble if you are afraid of being poor. , Save some saliva, I’ve been talking all day, I’m dying of thirst.”

Father Ye also shut up.

In the past, he would have to scold a few words, but it is really meaningless to talk about the shop again, and there is really no need to talk about it.

Moreover, he had already walked into the city, and the lively scene around him almost didn't stun Father Ye's eyes. His eyes weren't enough to see, so he couldn't care less about talking.

Before fishing for jellyfish, the farthest place he had been to in his life was the county seat, and he had only been there twice. He was sent there by the production team at the time, and he never went anywhere. He returned to the village immediately after finishing his work. up.

Ye Yaodong heaved a sigh of relief after his ears were cleansed. Seeing that the more people walked to the center, the streets became more crowded, there were hawkers everywhere, and the ding-ding sound of bicycles passing by, his mood also improved.

"Father, there are tea eggs over there, let's buy two and eat first? Pamper your stomach."

Because he thought that there was no shortage of food around the market, he didn't ask Ah Qing to prepare it at night.

"Well, there are also scallion pancakes over there, so buy two?"

"Okay, let me go. You can't speak Mandarin, so you can watch the burden here. Let me ask by the way, how far is it from the station?"

"Alright."

Ye Yaodong hurried back and found out that the station was only 10 minutes away from here, so they were not in a hurry, and simply stood by the roadside and ate.

During the period, there were half-children walking and shouting to sell newspapers, and even walked up to them and asked them if they wanted it.

Now that the father and son are so hungry, where is the time to talk?Almost choking on the egg yolk, he just shook his head, and the newspaper boy left immediately, asking about his next target.

Some burden-carrying shopkeepers also peddled while walking, and asked passers-by all kinds of questions.

The father and son looked around with their eyes while eating. After eating, they wiped their bodies casually and continued to walk to the station.

Father Ye also said happily: "This city is really lively. There are people everywhere, sellers everywhere, and bicycles everywhere. It is very rare to see a few in our countryside. The road is also good, clean, and the place It’s too big. We’ve been walking for almost an hour. If we walked to the town in the countryside, then all the long roads belong to the city...”

"Otherwise, why is it called a city?"

"Your mother doesn't know if she will have the opportunity to come to the city to take a look in this life, it's so lively..."

Ye Yaodong was amused to hear that, and it was true.

He lived to the age of 30 in his previous life and had never been to the county town once. It is quite normal for the older generation not to be able to visit the city once in their whole life.

The old lady had never been here before. She lived so old that she could count the number of times she went to the county town on five fingers.

He smiled and said, "There must be a chance, the times are advancing, and it will definitely be convenient to come to the city in the future."

"The times are changing, who can say for sure? Maybe it's bad luck if you're unlucky, isn't that how it was in those years."

"I will not do it again."

"I hope, it's so good now, I can do whatever I want, I can live my own life, I don't have to eat big pots all day long, the money I earn is my own, and I have something to look forward to in life."

"Well, it's almost there, it should be right ahead."

The father and son saw that there were people in front of them, either carrying suitcases, bedding, or burdens, so they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Everything looks shabby in this day and age, especially the station.

There are mottled marks on the surrounding walls, and red slogans occupy the entire wall, but there is a large bulletin board on the wall near the station, with various announcements and recruitment notices posted on it.

The front of the bulletin board was also full of men and women of all kinds, people crowded, one came out and another was squeezed in, they walked from far to near, and the number of people around them did not decrease.

"Dongzi, what's on it?"

"Some announcements, newspapers, recruitment, renting, everything."

"Oh, the information is quite comprehensive, no wonder so many people gathered around to read it, and there is nothing missing."

Father Ye stretched his neck and was very curious, but he couldn't read, otherwise he would squeeze in to see what was written.

Ye Yaodong was not very interested in the bulletin board, after putting down the sack, he let his father watch it.

"It's just a little bit now, and it's still a long time before the 02:30 bus. You wait here for a while, lest there are too many people inside, I'll go to the station and buy the ticket first. , confirm the time."

"Okay, you go, I'll watch over here, and you should also cover the money on your body tightly, so as not to be stolen. There are many thieves in this kind of place, and it's easy to be stolen if you don't pay attention."

"I know, I'm careful."

He was carrying a cloth bag made by Ah Qing, which was specially used to store money, just in case, and he carried it next to his body.

First he carried a layer of cloth bag, then he put on a autumn coat, then a sweater, and finally a cotton jacket. With his layer of protection, it would be no wonder it could be stolen.

And he only put 3 cents in his pocket, which was enough for him to eat and drink with his father to buy a bus ticket, and if he was really taken away, he wouldn't feel bad.

When setting up a stall to sell goods before, he also received the pockets first, and then turned his back when he was free, picked up his clothes, and put the money in the cloth bag.

Although it was only a three-dollar note, if it could not be stolen, of course he had to work hard to keep it. He kept his hands in his pockets the whole time to avoid being walked by.

Even when he was queuing, he held the money tightly in his hands, or put his hands in his pockets, and only when he was buying tickets at the window did he take out his hands to buy them.

To his surprise, after he bought the ticket, he looked down for a few seconds while walking, and then put his hand in his pocket, which turned out to be empty.

He bought more than one yuan of the ticket, which is gone...

It was still there when I took it out to count the money just now, but when I put it back and walked a few steps with the ticket, my pocket was empty.

The master is in the folk!
The stunt of these three hands is really amazing!

Fortunately, he carried his cloth bag close to his body, and he could feel it was still there. This kind of place is really too chaotic.

He looked around, but he didn't see any suspicious characters, and there was nothing unusual about the spirited or bitter faces.

Now I can only admit that I am unlucky, but fortunately there is only one piece left, if it is stolen, it will be stolen.

He didn't dare to put the bus ticket in his pocket anymore, and held it directly in his hand.

Anyway, the pocket was already empty, so there was no need for him to put it in the pocket, he just looped it around his chest, hugged his chest and continued to squeeze out into the crowd.

These days, the hospital is not as crowded as the station.

After a few years, the popularity of the hospital caught up and overtook the station.

But, during the holidays, the train station is even better!
He trotted to the corner where his father was standing, and said out of breath, "I bought the ticket, it's 02:30, you're right, go in later, just wait outside, just go in half an hour earlier." It’s too chaotic inside the station. I just bought a ticket, and before I walked a few steps, the left over one yuan of the ticket in my pocket was gone.”

"Ah? Stolen? I said that there are many thieves here. There are so many people, crowded, and the thieves are very convenient. I told you to be careful..."

"I kept my hand in my pocket all the time, and I took it out when I bought the ticket. Who knew it would be gone after a while? Forget it, it's okay, it's only a little more than one yuan. If it's gone, it's gone. I think I'm unlucky."

"Fortunately, it's only one yuan, that..." Father Ye looked around, afraid of being heard, and said in a low voice, "Is it still there?"

"Ah."

"That's good."

Ye Yaodong looked around, but he couldn't find any place to sit, and there were many people sitting on the ground or squatting around, so he simply opened the sack, took out a bag from inside, spread it on the floor, and sat down.

He would never stand up to follow if he could sit down, not to mention that he had just walked a long way with a load, and he was quite tired.

"Sit down, dad, take a break."

"Ah."

"What smell? A little fishy?"

After Ye Yaodong sat down, he left the sack open without tying it tightly. People passing by sniffed it a few times and could smell the fishy smell.
