South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed. Yuan Mu and Wei Huatian have had a lot of fun here these days. They have visited various scenic spots. In the evening, the three of them sit together drinking and chatting. It is quite comfortable. They don’t have to go to classes, get up early, or study. They just play every day. It is really good.

But such a life is also short-lived. Today is July 18th. Yuan Mu and Wei Huatian are both leaving and going back to their respective homes. Yuan Mu also plans to go back to Ningyang for a visit.

At the entrance of Dongzhou Railway Station, Gao Yuliang was reluctant to leave the two of them. They had been really happy these past few days, but he didn't expect that the happy days would be so short.

"Lao Gao, you don't have a homosexual fetish, do you? The look in your eyes makes my anus tighten!" Wei Huatian said jokingly.

"Fuck you, get out of here!" Gao Yuliang was originally a little sad, but after being interrupted by Wei Huatian, he immediately lost that mood.

"Haha!" Wei Huatian laughed.

"Okay, Lao Gao, don't see me off. We'll see each other again when school starts!" Yuan Mu smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, then slow down!" Gao Yuliang nodded.

"Let's go, Lao Gao!" Yuan Mu and Wei Huatian waved to Gao Yuliang and then walked into the train station.

The two of them were not on the same train. Yuan Mu's ticket was later than Wei Huatian's. After seeing Wei Huatian off, Yuan Mu soon got on the train as well.

This time it was not a sleeper berth, but a hard seat. Yuan Mu sat by the window and looked at the scenery outside. This day and night was quite a tough one.

However, it is gratifying that there are not many people during this period, and it is far from being crowded. After all, there are very few people walking back and forth in this era. Most of those who take the train are on business trips or businessmen. Ordinary people rarely take the train during this period.

The train speed increased for a short while, about half an hour later, and then it slowed down because there was a small station ahead, Renxiang Station.

The passengers who were going to get off the train slowly walked to the connection between the carriages, picked up their luggage and prepared to get off. Yuan Mu still did not look back. Looking towards the station platform, he saw a familiar figure, wearing a patched work suit that was washed white. It was the young man.

At this time, he was carrying a bamboo basket on his back and he didn't know what was in it. Whenever he saw someone, he would go up to sell his things and take off the bamboo basket to show the other person. However, almost everyone rejected him, but he was not discouraged and continued to sell hard.

This time the boy's face was clean, no longer dark. Yuan Mu saw his appearance clearly. He was very upright, with strong features and a special temperament.

The reason why I recognized this boy, besides the clothes he was wearing, was his thick eyebrows, which were very distinctive.

At this moment, Yuan Mu felt a little curious about the young man, but deep down, he knew that if they left here, they would never see each other again in this life.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On the other side, a train was running on the Ningha railway track. It was the train from Harbin to Ningyang.

Inside the locomotive.

Niu Dali stood in front of the coal pile, leaning on a shovel, his thoughts flying. It had been nearly half a year since Yuan Mu last talked to him, but he had never stopped thinking about this matter.

It’s not that he couldn’t make up his mind to go to Shenzhen, but he was thinking about the feasibility of quitting his job and starting his own business. Although his current job was not very decent and he didn’t earn much, at least it was a stable job that could guarantee him food and clothing for the rest of his life.

But if this goes on, Yao'er probably won't marry him. He didn't stop his offensive against Yao Yuling during this period, but with little success. He slowly began to believe that Yao Yuling would not marry him if he didn't have money.

He felt more and more that what Brother Yuan said made sense and was very right. It was all life philosophy. The more he thought about what Yuan Mu said to him, the more he felt that it was true.

Over the past few months, two villains have appeared in his mind and have been fighting with each other every day. One villain advised him to resign and go into business, but the other villain advised him to stay and keep his iron rice bowl.

During this period of time, he had also been thinking, even if he really married Yao'er, would they live in the current house?

The place is too small. What if I have children in the future? Housing is so scarce nowadays. It is very difficult to apply for a separate house.

For example, Uncle Cai's and Uncle Wang's families were allocated a two-bedroom house because both parents in the family were working. The house of Yuan Mu's family was left by his parents. As for Uncle Ma's house, it was given to him because the organization felt guilty about him.

What about him? He is just an ordinary boilerman. It is not his turn to get a house. He does not have much savings now. It is estimated that he will be very tight when getting married. What should he do then?

What if Yaoer wants to buy new clothes? He himself doesn't care, it doesn't matter whether he changes clothes or not, but he doesn't want Yaoer to be wronged. All of this is caused by two words: no money!

How about going to Shenzhen first? I'd rather give up half a month's salary and go to Shenzhen to have a look. Brother Yuan said that I should travel more to broaden my horizons. I've limited myself in this place.

Did Hou Sanjin really open a factory? How big is this factory? But every time Hou Sanjin comes back to the compound, he always carries a lot of bags and the clothes he wears are very fashionable. I wish I could become like that one day.

Let's go and have a look, let's go and have a look! Thinking of this, Niu Dali kept thinking about it, go out and have a look!

Okay! Let's go out and take a look! Niu Dali gritted his teeth and made a final decision at this moment!

"Hey! Hey! Dali! Dali!" At this moment, the co-driver, Brother Wu, called out to Niu Dali again and again, but Niu Dali was lost in thought at this time and could not hear him no matter how he was called.

"Oh my God! What has this kid been through recently? Why is his ear deaf again?" Brother Wu glanced at Uncle Cai and said.

"Tsk! Stop talking nonsense, let me see!" Uncle Cai rolled his eyes at Old Brother Wu and then looked at Niu Dali.

"Dali! Dali! Dali! Make a sound!" But it was no use calling him, as Niu Dali just stood there leaning on a shovel and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Oh my God! This kid must have been really upset. Xiao Wu, go and summon him. It seems like he's possessed by a demon!" Uncle Cai said and then turned around and looked forward.

Brother Old Wu looked around and saw that nothing was wrong, so he quickly stood up from his seat and walked to Niu Dali's side, then jumped down with a big neck.

"Ah!!!" This scared Niu Dali so much. He was looking forward to a better future, but he was awakened instantly and looked around in horror.
