The Ordinary Road‖ Chapter 1 A Salted Fish

Graduation, graduation, I can finally leave this hellish place. I no longer have to listen to the teacher’s nagging, and I have to shut up about the endless C language. You are free, you can do whatever you want from now on, no one can control you. Just thinking about it makes me happy. I can finally become a social person. I can be as happy as I want. Chen Xiaoyu left the campus with his bag on his back. Before getting into the car, he still looked back at this place. He really shouldn't have wasted four years of his youth here. Go home and drive off.

When leaving campus and entering the society, you must race against time. No time can be wasted. This is his principle. He mentioned to his father that he was going out to find a job. After all, he is your son, so he should be polite. Unfortunately, his father did not say anything to stop him. He smoked a cigarette in the yard, sat on the horse and kept shaking his legs. He didn't know. He thought he was suffering from some strange illness, so he used his hand to pop out the cigarette ashes that fell on his trouser legs. The pop-up was as helpless as a lonely ball. He coughed a few times and was about to burst into tears, "Let's go, let's go, the further away the better." What the hell? Am I biological? Driving me away is like driving away an animal, forget it, I'm older, I don't care about him that much. My mother must have some kind words for herself. Just as Chen Xiaoyu was about to enter the house, his mother poured out a basin of water from the main room. He was just one step away from splashing it all over his face. Such a rude action and no gentle words. However, he still wanted to ask for some comfort, "Mom, I'm going out to work, but I don't know what kind of job I can find yet." His mother returned to the kitchen, not thinking about him at all, "Go ahead, anyway, the male is not the best." Stay." She has no education and can't make any great sense. It was already difficult for her to be able to say such things. Don't force anything else. Let's go, you won't stay here anyway. I have to leave even if I'm holding back my breath.

He didn’t know where Chen Xiaoyu was going as his first stop. He heard that country people, no, no, no, they couldn’t call themselves that. After all, he had gone to college for a few years and had been living in the city for a few years. , still has the flavor of city dwellers for several years. Don't give up on yourself. Don't be ridiculous, where are you going? Why don't you find a job in front of the school, as a network administrator? Internet company? Advertising agency? He had no idea what he would do after four years of college. He called Li Fuqiang, "What are you doing, brother." Unexpectedly, the other party groaned for a long time without saying anything. He was probably sleeping with a woman or doing something to himself. Forget it, it’s still up to you. He is from Shandong and loves to eat white steamed buns and green onions. He can't stand the spicy food in Sichuan. He could withstand the blazing sun, but he couldn't stand the humid weather at all. He decided to leave here after graduation and go back to the north. He remembered that his uncle was doing business in Qingdao, so he wanted to find him. He asked his father about the uncle's whereabouts, "Dad, uncle Qingdao, where is he exactly? I'll hang out with him."

His father glared at him, "No one can find him, that one Damn it, you owe our family two thousand yuan and haven't paid it back in five years. If you go to him, I guess that coward can sell you out. "Huh?" Bad guy? By the way, during the Chinese New Year, will they bring you pig legs to see you? So don’t count? Such a bad memory? But you can't let this go. Anyway, if you don't believe what dad said, he will definitely go to Qingdao to make a living. Before leaving, he did not tell his father where he was going, and sent him away under a pretext. It’s good to be older, and you don’t ask so many questions.

Before he left, his father took out 2,500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, "This is the money, you can't ask me for it after you spend it all." Then he went to sit on the horse. , smoking a cigarette unsteadily, really afraid that his legs would shake and he would fall off the horse. His weight of 150 kilograms is also difficult for Ma Zha. The tree in the yard was more enthusiastic than my father. Before he left, he deliberately dropped a leaf to say goodbye. Unfortunately, it was not gold, so he had to throw it away. The mother hurriedly entered the main room, thinking that she would secretly take out her private money. Chen Xiaoyu stared at his mother with wide eyes, and came out carrying a black plastic bag. If it was a pack of red notes, he would definitely be happy. Guess what, I'll go, two dry sesame cakes. It was so dry that it felt like one bite would knock off her front teeth. I really don’t know what she was thinking. This was a way to make a living, and she wasn’t going out to beg for food. How could she still be hungry? No, no, Chen Xiaoyu said with a look of disgust, "Mom, I don't want it, you can keep it for yourself." Take it to ward off hunger.

My mother suffered from hunger since she was a child and was afraid of hunger, so even though she lived a good life, she was still thinking about it all day long, saving this and that. She was always worried about famine or fire, and that one day she would go to the production team again and pick up the cows. or lead a donkey to grind flour. In short, everything she has experienced must be repeated every day. No, it’s started again, run away.

Chen Xiaoyu didn't wait for his mother to start nagging, and left quickly to avoid further suffering on his ears. It's so nice, the sky is blue outside, the clouds are white, and my heart is happy. How can the word "huang" be so great? I have money in my body and courage in my heart. It's more than two thousand. I never dreamed that I could take this huge sum of money to wander outside. No, it's not wandering, it's to make a career in the world.

The first stop is Qingdao. It’s a slow train. It’s interesting. You can chat with strangers, brag and play poker. Time flies. In a strange place, it would be nice to find an acquaintance. My father is so annoying that he won’t even reveal his phone number to himself. I left in a bit of a hurry, where are I going to sleep tonight? What to eat? He suddenly felt homesick. No, I must not miss home. No one felt sorry for me before I left, so why would I still miss them? Make them regret going. I go my own way. Chen Xiaoyu walked out of the train station. At first glance, he saw that they were all strangers. They were so strange that they looked like they came from Mars. They looked at each other, adults, children, old people, and city dwellers. Look at themselves. They were too dressed. Casual, no different from a beggar, somewhat out of place, in fact no one came to take a look. The white shoes were full of dirt. He wiped them with his hands, but he still couldn't seem to get them white. When no one was around, he tore some toilet paper from his pocket, quietly spit, and wiped the dirt on the shoes. It was not as good as just now. There is a black and white face, which looks like a high-end customization. Who knows whether copyright is involved.

Okay, let’s stop talking nonsense and call the little cat. I don’t know what she is doing, maybe she is thinking of me, “Ami, guess where I am?”

< p> When Amei heard the call from Chen Xiaoyu, she became happy and said, "That's too bad. Why do you keep turning off your phone? I thought you were missing and I would never be able to contact you again."

Chen Xiaoyu originally wanted to take off his shoes, put them on his buttocks, and sit and talk on the phone. Thinking about it, it was really indecent. To be more precise, his shoes had just been stained with saliva. When he sat down again, he felt a little uncomfortable. Forget it. Just stand. People coming and going were all busy with their own things, but he seemed to be doing nothing. That was not the case. He was talking on the phone to her favorite kitten, "I have no money for my mobile phone, and the old man won't give it to me. He holds his cell phone every day and can't reach it. I'm the one who suffers the most. OK, don't you believe it? Come here and touch my chest. It's hot. "

It's hot, okay? That chest must have been sunburned, okay, no matter what, love is about you and me, it has to be numb, and it will never be cold and heartless. When it gets cold, there will really be problems.

Chen Xiaoyu scratched his hair, his feet were numb from squatting. He tried to stand up, shook his numb left leg, lifted his trouser leg up, and planned to squat down again. It seemed that his body was not cooperating, and his legs I'm still a little sore from bending, so I'd better stand. Wanting to give her a surprise, maybe a scare, "Guess, where am I?"

Ami laughed, "Wherever you can be, you must be at home." She kept laughing and picked up a hundred He was equally happy as a child, and it was estimated that there was a kilogram of honey in this laughter.

It seems that you still guessed wrong. Let me tell you, I bet you will be so surprised that you will jump up and say, "I am in Qingdao, watching the sea for you. Do you suddenly feel like you are next to me?" Rich."

I really doubt that Ami is born unable to cry. She seems to be unable to do anything except laugh. But when she smiles, her worries disappear. If it can make her happy for a lifetime, Chen Xiaoyu will be happy for the rest of his life. In his heart, Ami is everything to him, the person he will protect for the rest of his life. He will try his best to work hard, find a good future, and wait to marry her back home. But she's still young, so she won't understand if you tell her this. Listen, she started laughing again, "If you don't believe it, who would believe it? Why did you go to Qingdao?" She stopped with a smile, a little reproachful.

The mosquitoes in Qingdao are really big. One bite will make a big bulge. If it can’t knock me down, it often can’t make me strong, but makes me swell. Look, three red envelopes have already bulged. , it’s really itchy, even after scratching it a few times, I still can’t get rid of the pain. You can bite like this through your pants. It seems that animals are more cruel than humans. As long as you can eat enough, it doesn't matter where it comes from.

Think about how to answer her. In fact, he himself doesn’t know why he came here. He’s here. Don’t think about it. “Come here if you like it. I’ll pick you up when I’m done with Dafa.” Have fun. Looking at the sea, blowing the sea breeze, and eating seafood, is it okay?"

If you have something to eat, play, and watch, of course you will be happy, so you will naturally go. "Okay, I will wait until you get rich. Nouveau riche. But I’m going to bed, my mother will yell at me again later.”

You’re talking happily, why do you just hang up? Okay, just hang up. Anyway, you can call again tomorrow. Let’s go. I just want to go, but I don’t know anyone, and I still feel a little bit stupid. Then the phone rings, and it’s my dad. “Xiaoyu, why are you always on the phone? Did you grow up when you left the house?” Wings, when you fly high, you forget about your parents. "It's so annoying, it's here again, it's always like this, do you have to kneel three times and buckle down every day to get what you want?"

Chen Xiaoyu twirled on the ground with one toe, trying to make a hole out of it, thinking that he could put the irritation in his heart into it, "I just called my classmate, what's wrong, Dad?"

p>

The father was full of resentment and had nothing good to say, "What did you say? I went out for a day and didn't call my parents back. This son is in vain."

No matter where he goes, Their nagging is indispensable everywhere, but after today, who knows where I will be next time. I don’t have to listen to their yelling. It feels good to think about it...

After hanging up the phone, Close a nasty door and be happy. Let's go and walk around first. Qingdao is not as prosperous as we imagined, nor is it as wealthy as seen on TV. Some people run red lights, and some people spit impolitely. I don't see many foreigners on the street, and the girls are not too beautiful. Li Dahua and Zhang Cuicui are not as beautiful as the ones in the village. TV is all a lie. People still have to live in reality and walk with their eyes open and watch the road.

The first step in finding a job is to submit your resume, find an Internet cafe, and work on your resume. Otherwise, if you search all over the streets and floors, you will never find a dime. The world is very big, just shrink yourself down to a small program. God was quite righteous and didn't make it too difficult for him. Hurricane Internet Café sounds so cool. I go in, charge my card, sit down, and start typing on the keyboard. Male, 21 years old, why is he so old? He is four years older than Ami, but she is also an adult. Chen Xiaoyu, alas, this name is really not big enough for a man. After all, he is also a 1.8 meter tall man. When he is called a fish, except for Ami, it sounds pleasant to the ears. As long as everyone else calls him over, they want to beat him in their hearts. I really don’t know why my parents chose such a name for themselves. I guess I think about having fish every year every day. Closer to home, if you major in computer science and technology and don’t want to be a network administrator, you’d better be an engineer. My future goals are to become a department head in three years and to open an Internet company in five years. Doesn’t it sound awesome to write like this? DEMO on the USB flash drive, show it to them during the interview, it will definitely blind their eyes, but don’t blind them, otherwise you will be in trouble if you don’t like yourself.

Submit resumes, there are so many submissions, I don’t believe you won’t be able to catch a single fish, even if you get caught. Just print out a few copies and keep them, just wait. After finishing the serious business, he found a place to stay. In fact, he didn't know where he was going. There was a mouth under his nose. Could it be that he would be trapped to death in a strange city? Ask and inquire. Anyway, that's what he wants to have this face. Those who have been severely beaten by life must polish off all the edges and corners to make them smooth and suffer less. Smile, yes, that’s it, Auntie, where is the hotel? I don’t know, I don’t know. Uncle, where can I find a place to live? Go ahead and ask at the bus stop. Um? If there are any acquaintances, just ignore them. Try it first. If you don’t give it a try, how will you know whether it is a success or a failure? Chen Xiaoyu ran very fast. The weather was so hot. His clothes were soaked and his hair was wet. He wanted to take a shower, but he had to endure it. He must take a comfortable bath in the hotel later.

Forget it, when a car came, Chen Xiaoyu quickly waved and the car stopped, "Master, I want to find a place to stay."

The driver just rolled his eyes and passed by. , "Where to go?"

I don't know where to go. Where to live, where to live, where I can live, is where I want to go. Chen Xiaoyu repeatedly said this sentence, "Hotel, anything is fine."

The driver was about to close the door, but Chen Xiaoyu opened the door hard with his hand, "Master, I'll get up first, slow down." I’ll tell you slowly. “Isn’t this Mandarin appropriate? The professor can understand it, but if you don't, you just don't want to give me a ride.

"Insert the coin."

"Okay, okay.

"

Chen Xiaoyu fished around in his pocket for a long time. They were all 5 yuan and 10 yuan. It was too much of a loss to invest in them. He asked someone in the car to change them. He started to ask one by one, "Anyone? Change? "No one paid attention, so he continued to ask. He couldn't believe that this car full of people couldn't find two steel coins. I really didn't find them, not even one.

"Insert coins. "The man spoke again.

Chen Xiaoyu endured the pain and put in 5 yuan. His heart ached and his chest hurt. He still had 3 yuan, a big sesame seed cake. It was enough to ward off hunger. He had just sat down After getting down, the driver called him up again, “Get off the bus. "

What's going on? I didn't just sit down. Could it be that I'm at the station? Damn it, you're looking like a donkey and staring. It's so annoying. Stop staring. Just get off the car. I'll go. There's a hotel in front of you. , why didn't you tell me in advance, it didn't take many steps to get here, I lost 5 yuan in vain, and I was saved from disaster. I can only comfort myself like this.

The hotel looks shabby, not as glamorous as in the movie. He probably wouldn't meet a pretty girl, but he might be robbed by thieves. Chen Xiaoyu kept his bag tightly for fear of being snatched away.

When he walked in, he found an old man squatting at the front desk and glanced at Chen Xiaoyu. You glanced at me and didn't say hello. You have the pride of a landlord. You didn't open your mouth and someone else spoke. Chen Xiaoyu yelled, "How much does it cost per night?" "

The uncle frowned and curled his lips, "Do you have money? No credit. "

I have everything. I have nothing but money. I have more than 2,000 in my pocket, and I am afraid that I will not be able to live in a hotel. However, I cannot expose my wealth, so I still have to be careful and don't speak arrogantly. “No credit, no credit. "Chen Xiaoyu shook his head desperately.

The uncle took a key, suspecting that he specially found the rusty one and handed it over, "50 yuan a night, now 203 is empty, pay with one hand , single-hand delivery. "What kind of thing? Oh, by the way, it's a key. The atmosphere of the world is too strong. It's too strong. I immediately felt that this society is interesting, just like a movie, but the picture is too boring. There is only an old man, a key, and no pretty girls. Of course there are This is a big cabbage.

Is this a place for people to live? There is no place to stand around. Just open the door and get on the trampoline. This is completely unreasonable. If someone comes over to play, it’s not okay for two people to hold hands and dance. Forget it. We are not familiar with each other. Don’t imagine having acquaintances. Wait for a word, wait for news, wait for someone to call for an interview. This is a serious matter, no. Complain and be honest. You have forgotten the awesomeness you boasted. The only thing that can be related to the sea is the starfish. Your favorite kitten is still waiting for you. Make a fortune. Oh, you really shouldn't talk big. If Ami knew that she was crowded in this small room, she would definitely look down on herself. She is just a fool, a stubborn person who wants nothing but happiness. No. Maybe you can imagine a movie after seeing this.

Stop thinking about something else. The world is too small to tolerate the love of two people, especially when you are alone. , don't think about the other person.

Sit down and be in a daze. He said to himself, Chen Xiaoyu, I will become a big fish in the future, not just a salty fish, wait. . Beep beep, the phone is ringing, my God, there is a phone, answer it, of course...
