The rich have an ugly duckling

Nancheng, a small city in the southwestern border, has been known for its wildness since ancient times.The geographical location is remote, the development is very lagging, and the main source of income depends on agricultural development.

In recent years, with the deepening of the western development, Nancheng has developed, and the economy of small counties has improved, but some remote mountain villages under it are still relatively backward due to inconvenient transportation.

Q University’s research project on rural inclusive finance started three years ago. In order to facilitate the follow-up investigation, the location is fixed. However, due to some policy changes this year, it is inconvenient to go to the original base in the southwest region, so Nancheng was re-selected as the research area.

The research team originally had a total of 12 people including the teacher, but the supervisor Lin Kaicheng was temporarily busy and had to postpone the visit by a day. The postgraduate senior sister who led the team booked 11 second-class high-speed rail tickets in consideration of the funds and the actual situation, but now there is one more Chen Wu, although Zhu Jindong agreed to pay the fare by himself, but the remaining tickets are gone, the senior sister can only tell Zhu Jindong embarrassingly.

Zhu Jindong checked and found that there were indeed no tickets for the second-class seat, but there were still a lot of tickets for the first-class seat and the business class. He originally planned to buy two business tickets, but Chen Wu still wanted to try to grab a ticket. After all, they went out together. For research, it is better for everyone to stay together and communicate in advance.

In the end, I got the tickets, but because I didn’t book them together, Zhu Jindong and the others were in the 03 car, and Chen Wu was in the 12 car. Chen Wu looked at his order interface annoyedly. I completely forgot that even if I grabbed it, it wasn't a matter of sitting together.

Zhu Jindong thought about it, but he didn't tell him when he saw that Chen Wu was so serious about grabbing tickets. He patted Chen Wu's drooping head: "It's a big deal, just get in the car and find someone to change it."

Chen Wu was not optimistic, and said: "If people don't want to change it, after all, there are so many carriages missing."

Zhu Jindong said again: "Hey, don't think so much. If it doesn't work, just upgrade. Anyway, I will definitely sit with you."

Chen Wu shook his head and said, "Whether to sit together or not is secondary. I originally wanted to sit with the seniors and sisters to say hello first, but now it seems that I can't do it."

Zhu Jindong said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, if you want to sit with them, can't you just upgrade together? I said that this little head is thinking wildly every day. I am here. What are you afraid of? Just follow me with peace of mind. .”

Chen Wu smiled, revealing the dimples at the corners of his mouth, hugged Zhu Jindong's arm, raised his head and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, I'll stop thinking about it."

Zhu Jindong fell in love with Chen Wu's well-behaved appearance, and hugged him into his arms and kissed Chen Wu so hard that his brain was starved of oxygen.Zhu Jindong saw that his eyes were full of tears, his face was blushing, and his lips were glistening with saliva from two people. He really wanted to crush the two people and stuff them into his own blood.

The day of departure coincided with the peak period of summer vacation for students. After getting on the high-speed rail, there were people and luggage everywhere. The students who went to Nancheng for research were carrying heavy suitcases, and they were a little out of breath.

Zhu Jindong and Chen Wu only brought one suitcase. Summer clothes are already light, and one suitcase is enough for the two of them together. As for other things, they didn’t bring much. According to what Zhu Jindong said, if there is anything missing, go to the county to buy it. That's fine, there's no need to bring so many things.Although Chen Wu felt that it was a bit wasteful, he still didn't refute it.

When I first got on the train, there were people everywhere, one car has two doors, you go this way, I go that way, they all dragged their suitcases and rushed to find a seat, it was too crowded.Zhu Jindong originally wanted Chen Wu to sit on the box, and he pushed it along, but Chen Wu had the nerve to follow behind Zhu Jindong, tugging at the back of his clothes: "That's it, I won't lose it. "

Zhu Jindong took Chen Wu by the hand and quickly found his seat.The second-class seats on the high-speed rail are arranged in a "3+2" arrangement. Zhu Jindong's seat is 07D, and the one next to the corridor is the one next to the students who are doing research together, but they haven't arrived yet.

Taking advantage of his height, Zhu Jindong looked through the crowd in the corridor to see if there was anyone who could change seats.In the end, he saw a thin middle-aged man sitting next to a girl in the class. When there were almost no people in the corridor, he pulled Chen Wu over and asked him if he would like to change seats.

The middle-aged man rides alone, so he doesn't care where he sits, but seeing that Chen Wu's ticket is in the 12th car, and he has a lot of things to bring back home this time, he is not very happy.

Seeing that he didn't refuse immediately, Zhu Jindong said that he would help deliver the luggage, and the middle-aged man agreed. He wanted Zhu Jindong to help carry the two bags, but he pushed the boxes, but Zhu Jindong took them all, and sent him the luggage to 12 When leaving the carriage, he even stuffed a pack of cigarettes for the middle-aged man.

Zhu Jindong doesn't smoke, he just prepared for this research.Lin Kaicheng told him that many villagers in the countryside are relatively simple, and sometimes they can get along well with a cigarette.

The middle-aged man is an old smoker, and seeing that he can get a pack of cigarettes for nothing by changing the seat, he immediately became happy.It was only when I sat on the seat and saw the cigarette in my hand clearly that I felt a little hot.

What's the matter with this guy?Why is it so expensive to stuff a pack of cigarettes casually?He has smoked cigarettes for most of his life and has never been willing to buy such expensive cigarettes!The more he looked at it, the more he felt hot. He was afraid that someone took it by mistake, and it would be embarrassing to ask for it when he came back later, so he came back with the cigarette and asked Zhu Jindong to return it to him.

Zhu Jindong waved his hand and said politely: "It's okay, you can take it, it's for you! Isn't it troublesome to change seats with my brother!"

Only then did the middle-aged man feel relieved, and returned to his seat with a cigarette in his hand, humming a little tune. He has been a smoker for decades, and he can finally taste what it is like to buy cigarettes that he wants to buy but is reluctant to buy!It's a pity that smoking is not allowed on the high-speed rail, otherwise he really wants to try it right away!

After successfully changing seats with the middle-aged man, Chen Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhu Jindong happily.But this matter was not over yet, Zhu Jindong wanted to sit with Chen Wu, after all it was almost ten hours' drive away, so he asked the girl next to Chen Wu if he would change with him.

The girl sitting next to Chen Wu is named Fang Zhi, who is also from the Department of Finance, but she is not in the same class as Zhu Jindong.

As soon as she raised her smiling face to say hello to Zhu Jindong, she was choked up by Zhu Jindong's senior sister.

This is not to blame Zhu Jindong, this survey is basically the seniors and seniors of the junior year, and there is only one girl at the same level as Zhu Jindong, but Zhu Jindong doesn't know or care. , who would have thought that by such a coincidence, he would run into the one at the same level.

The smile on Fang Zhi's face froze. She is also a flower in the Department of Finance, and she is well-known in Q University. I didn't expect that Zhu Jindong didn't know her at all, and even called her Senior Sister. Can she be happy?

Fang Zhi glared at Zhu Jindong angrily, rearranged her emotions, and said with a smile, "My name is Fang Zhi, and I'm from Class 2 of the Finance Department, not your senior."

Zhu Jindong didn't expect to call the wrong person so coincidentally, so he said sorry, and asked Fang Zhi if he could change seats.

Fang Zhi greeted the graduate student who bought the ticket this time, and said that she wanted to sit with Zhu Jindong, but when she got in the car, she found that not only did she not sit with Zhu Jindong, but she was next to a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance. Not too happy.Seeing Zhu Jindong come to change seats this time, I thought I could sit with him, but he let himself change again, and he was even more unhappy. With a embarrassed expression on his face, he said, "The seat over there is by the window. Is it? I'd rather take the window seat."

Chen Wu pulled Zhu Jindong's clothes, and said in a low voice, "That's how it is, it would be nice to be in the same carriage."

Zhu Jindong still didn't give up, he went back to his side, and asked the senior next to him if he would like to change with Chen Wu.The senior saw that the person sitting next to Chen Wu was the flower of the finance department, so he immediately agreed.

Just as Chen Wu sat down, he was replaced again. He was still a little dazed, but Zhu Jindong was very happy. As soon as Chen Wu sat down, he quietly squeezed Chen Wu's hand tightly.

Fang Zhi looked at the two people sitting in front of her, and felt a little unhappy. She dealt with the enthusiastic senior next to her lukewarmly, which made the senior feel a little embarrassed. She chatted awkwardly.

The high-speed train departs in the early hours of the morning. After the seats are found, everyone starts to catch up on sleep. It is not until noon that the carriages start to become lively.

People from all over the world chatted during the long drive, all kinds of accents intertwined, very lively.

For a moment, Chen Wu felt as if he had returned to the village in the city.Aside from the bad memories that Zhuang Weimin brought to him, life at that time was very ordinary and ordinary. Everyone also spoke different dialects and loved to gather in the streets and corners of the village in the city to talk about their parents.

It’s just that many years have passed, and he has never returned to the village in the city. The hard and ordinary days before have become so far away, as far away as something in his previous life, but Chen Wu knows that he was not born rich, his fate The turning point was that on that winter day more than ten years ago, a car drove into the village in the city and took him away from that poor and ordinary place.

Seeing Chen Wu in a daze, Zhu Jindong thought he was sleepy, so he put Chen Wu's head on his shoulders and asked him to sleep for a while.Chen Wu was indeed a little sleepy, and quickly fell asleep leaning on Zhu Jindong's shoulder.

Sitting across the corridor was a middle-aged woman, dressed plainly and surrounded by bags, speaking with a strong southern accent, she looked like she was from the countryside.

The middle-aged woman is very talkative. First, she chatted with the two students next to her. Seeing that they were ignorant of their answers, she turned her gaze to the corridor, saw Zhu Jindong's face, and praised: "You are so energetic !" Asked who was sitting next to Zhu Jindong, Zhu Jindong said it was his younger brother.

Zhu Jindong didn't like to put on airs, so he lowered his voice and chatted with the middle-aged woman.Middle-aged women have a very strong desire to communicate. It is rare to meet such a cooperative young man, and their words become more and more excited. Zhu Jindong just wanted to remind her, but Chen Wu was woken up by the woman's loud voice, and walked away from Zhu Jindong's shoulder. , rubbing her eyes in a daze, the middle-aged woman saw Chen Wu's red lips and white teeth, and praised: "Your brother is so handsome!" Then she stared at Chen Wu for a while, patted her thigh and said, "Hey , No, why do you look so familiar to me?"
