bitter fireworks

A person's journey, a person's loneliness, a person's little helplessness.Boarding the green leather car heading south, I felt the large population of China for the first time. The black crowd in the car was like the rushing tide. Not smooth.There's no way, it's not the starting point, let's make do with it.Fortunately, the windows were open, the car started, and the air circulated, so it wasn't so stuffy.If it is better in winter, people can keep warm when crowded.But it's summer now, I'm sorry, except for the smell of sweat and the constant heat waves, it feels really uncomfortable.

But the train conductor still sells things, and when passing by, everyone has to pile up to let the minivan pass, there is no way, they have to live, they also have to support their families, and maybe they have to support students like me.No, I am no longer a student. I have bid farewell to my school days and my Zhichun since I stepped on this bus...

No matter how crowded, how hot, and how smelly, it seems that they can't interrupt everyone's habit of resting and sleeping when they are tired.After 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, the train was running on the track, and I squinted my eyes and dozed off.Dimly, I saw Zhichun, he was smiling and waving to me, I wanted to run over to hug him, and tell him my helplessness and pain.But I just couldn't run, I couldn't move my whole body, I was anxious, I was angry, I was screaming hysterically, I wanted to slap my hands, but my hands just didn't obey the command.I was in tears, I watched my Zhichun waving over there but couldn't get close...a hand was patting my shoulder, someone was shaking me, I opened my eyes, oh...it was a dream! "Young man, what's the matter? Have a nightmare? Shouting and screaming?" A man in his 30s looked at me in confusion, with one hand still on my shoulder.His eyes were friendly, and I nodded shyly.

I really cried again, the crystal clear liquid slipped down the palm of my hand, it looked extraordinarily clear under the light!I miss my Zhichun again, in my life and in my dreams, Zhichun is my eternal melody.

After more than ten hours of torment, I finally arrived at my destination—Guangzhou at around 8:[-] the next morning.

Out of the station gate, I stayed.I don't know where I am going, there are huge crowds of people, there is an endless stream, there are people in the square soliciting customers, there are also people looking for people with signs, and there are everything in restaurants and accommodation.I just stared stupidly at the crowd of people passing by, and stayed where I was at a loss.

I forced myself to calm down, sort out my thoughts, and finally calm down.

I found the phone number of a high school classmate in my pocket, ran to the public phone booth and dialed his number.With the beeping of the phone, my heart became very nervous!

"Hello, who is it?" The non-standard Mandarin on the phone asked.

"Hello, could you please call Wu Wei to answer the phone for me?" I said to the other party very politely.

"Well, wait..."

After a while, I finally heard the long-lost voice.

"Xiao Yong, is that you?" Wu Wei asked

"Well... I told you at home, I really came out, and now I am at Guangzhou Railway Station, how can I get to you?" I asked him

"I'm talking about my class monitor, what's wrong with you? You're good at studying, but we don't even have a chance if we want to. You're lucky, you dropped out of school..." Wu Wei said with a sigh

"It's hard to explain... Let's talk when we meet! Tell me the bus route!" I want to end the call as soon as possible, after all, China Telecom does not have a free lunch.

Then he told me how many buses to take and how to transfer. I remembered carefully, as if I was afraid of losing myself.

After hanging up the phone, there was no change, so I had to get a 50 yuan bill.

"This money has lost corners. It can't be used. Change it..." The shop owner said to me blankly. It was fine just now, but why did the corners drop off? I was very confused, but it's better to say less when I'm in a foreign place , I took another one hundred and gave it to him.

"Oh, I don't have so much change, let's take the fifty!" He returned the one hundred to me, and he was quite impatient.

"Only the [-] one just now, no change" I said truthfully

"Then let's take the one just now..." He asked for the one just now again.

I was suspicious and raised my vigilance, but I couldn't find any flaws.Thinking about it carefully, was the hundred bills just now tricky, so I carefully and carefully looked at the 100 yuan he returned to me, and there was indeed a problem.The watermark is not clear, there is no dark flower of 100, and the color that should change does not change color.I knew that I had been fooled, that I had fallen into this guy's scheme to exchange the civet cat for the prince.When I looked at the money carefully, the guy looked tense, which made him more sure that he had a guilty conscience.

"You are bullying foreigners, you exchange the money, quickly exchange it, otherwise I will call the police..." I threatened him

"It's your own fake money, you still rely on me, be careful I beat you!" He was not to be outdone.

"Okay, since you're going to make a big fuss, I'll call the police!" I knew this guy must have more than one counterfeit bill, and there must be more in the drawer.So I had to use the police to threaten him, not to mention, at the critical moment, the police uncle was so effective, he obediently changed it for me, and after I carefully identified it again, I took the change I needed and left this nasty little girl. shop.

After crossing the overpass, I arrived at Liuhua Bus Station, bought a ticket, and started to head towards Wu Wei's company!

Wu Wei was in Tonghe, Baiyun District, and he was waiting for me at the gate of the company.

There are no pleasantries when meeting, only tight hugs!I haven't seen him for two years, but this guy has grown fairer, and seems to be a little thinner than before.

"Let's go, buddy, let's go eat. It's been a long time. Let's have a drink and catch up." Wu Wei pulled me away while talking

"Don't you have to go to work? It's not good to delay your work..." I said

"It's okay, I'm on leave, the manager knows me well, let's go..." he continued.

When I came to a food stall, this guy ordered shredded pork with green peppers, pickled fish, braised eggplant and a green vegetable, and ordered a few bottles of beer.To be honest, these are our hometown dishes, which are just to my taste. If I haven’t eaten for a day, I’m already hungry.After a while of wind and clouds, and a few bottles of beer, I was a little drunk and full.

"Dude, tell me why you don't read anymore? You are our idol, why are you doing this? Why don't you stop reading if you don't read..." Wu Wei's eyes were hazy, but his words were very clear.

"Oh... the family has changed!" Then I told him what happened in detail.

After hearing what happened to me, he sighed and felt sad.But there is nothing I can do, I know that Wu Wei can give me a shelter when I am down, which is already very good!What can I say but grateful...

"Brother Wei, can you help me find my brother, I heard that he is in Taihe..." I begged him, because I am not familiar with the place in Guangzhou, so it is not easy to find someone, after all, Wu Wei stayed in Guangzhou For two years, he was better than me in terms of environment and everything else.

"Okay, let's go tomorrow, just as we are resting, if you have time, today you go to the shower, sleep and rest well!" He said

"Shower? What do you do with a shower?" I really don't know the meaning of Cantonese.

"Stupid, take a shower, do you understand?" He laughed and mocked me

I was also really tired, so I came to the hut he rented, took a shower, and soon went to chat with Duke Zhou.
