The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

A small bus full of people set off from the town. The road in the town was uneven, and the car left the town with a flicker, heading towards Jiangcheng City.

The relatives behind him got farther and farther away, until they could no longer be seen, Qiao Minglang took his eyes back.Sitting next to him was his big cousin, and the two brothers sat in the same row of seats.

After going back that day, Qiao Mingshan didn't have much trouble convincing his parents to let him go to the city with his cousin.Originally, the family wanted him to send his cousin to school, but now he sent his cousin to school and stayed in the city together.

The family knew that they wanted to open a store in the city, so they were worried whether they would be able to open it. If they couldn't open it, they would lose a lot of money.In the end, I asked the little cousin to use a sentence: "If I can afford to open one stall, I can afford to open a second stall." With such a simple sentence, the family members were persuaded to agree with their opening of the shop.

In fact, Qiao Mingshan understands why the little cousin is so eager to open a store there. It is because their family is spending money now. If they don’t continue to make money, the little money they made before will be very fast. It can be spent.

As for why he went to the city with his little cousin, he wanted to go outside to see the outside world.A person's life is long or short, and if he spends his whole life in such a small place, his life will be almost like that.

"Sleep, we can't get there so soon." Seeing the little cousin looking out of the window, Qiao Mingshan asked the little cousin to close his eyes and sleep for a while. They still have more than two minutes' journey to the city, enough They slept for a while on the way.

Outside the window was an unfamiliar scene. This was the first time Qiao Minglang had been in such a big car since he came to this world, and it was the first time he had traveled far. Everything he saw was new to him.But at the moment he didn't feel sleepy at all, he turned his head and said to his cousin, "I'm not sleepy, if you are sleepy, cousin, go to sleep, I'll watch over things."

They carried money with them, worried that it would be stolen on the road.

"Okay, I'll get some sleep." Seeing that his little cousin didn't sleep and woke up too early in the morning, Qiao Mingshan couldn't help but yawned, crossed his arms around his chest, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The car stopped halfway, and some passengers continued to board the car. The seats were already full, and some people sat on the aisle with small stools prepared in advance.Among the people who got on the bus behind, there was a person carrying a cage of live chickens and ducks into the car. The ducks stretched their necks and quacked outside, and the inside of the car became lively.

The end of summer is over, and the weather is still very hot. Everyone is sweating, and there is a cage of chickens and ducks. For a while, there are all kinds of smells in the carriage.

Fortunately, the car still had a glass window. Qiao Minglang fully opened the window next to him, allowing the cool wind from the outside to pour in from the open window, and only then did he lighten the stench from the tip of his nose.But even so, it still made him feel uncomfortable along the way.

The big cousin sitting next to him was already asleep, with his head resting on his shoulder, and he didn't push him away.

In this noisy environment, he can't sleep much. He kept his eyes open and looked outside, remembering the scenery outside in his mind bit by bit. his way home.

Less than half a day away from home, he remembered the group of teary-eyed little guys behind him when he went out today.Really, I can't bear it~

At this time, the siblings of the Qiao family were also talking about their eldest brother, and the third sister Qiao asked her second sister, "Sister, how long do you think it will take for our brother to come back?"

"I miss my brother a little bit."

"Didn't brother say that when the school is on holiday, he will come back to see us?" Qiao Xiaohui actually wanted to leave home for her eldest brother, but she was the eldest sister in the family and was used to taking care of her younger brothers and sisters.

"Brother...Brother..."

"Well, my brother went to study, and he won't be back until a few days later."

In a few days?How many days is it?Qiao Xiaobao stared blankly at her sister, not knowing how many days would be.

I don't know if the two little guys at home know that my brother is not at home. They ask about my brother from time to time, and when they hear that my brother has gone to study, the two little guys lean against their sister listlessly, listlessly.

Sitting at home, the siblings all looked listless.

The car passed the deserted path, and the houses on both sides of the road gradually increased.

The bus drove into the city, there were cars coming and going on the road, the surrounding became lively, there were tall buildings outside, and pedestrians hurriedly walking on the road.

"Gah-"

The bus drove into the platform, the driver stepped on the brake, put down the handbrake, and shouted to the people behind: "It's the stop, it's the stop, everyone get off the bus."

Before the little cousin could call him, Qiao Mingshan opened his eyes, stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, stretched his waist, looked outside, and saw that the car had arrived at the stop, "It's here so soon."

"Here we are, let's get off in Mingming."

"Ah."

They picked up and saluted, and got out of the car with the people who got off in front. Qiao Minglang had a small package in his arms, which contained a few pieces of old clothes and a pair of new shoes on his feet.

It wasn't the first time for Qiao Mingshan to come to the city. He had come to the city with his relatives to do business before. Compared with his cousin who was completely confused when he came to the city for the first time, he was quite familiar with this place.There is still some distance from the station to the school. After Qiao Mingshan asked passers-by, he turned and pulled his little cousin, "Come on, we need to change a car to get to your school."

"Oh, good." Qiao Minglang followed behind his cousin, and they boarded another bus.

The car stopped and went, and some people got on and got off on the way. It took about half an hour for them to get off.

"This is it." Qiao Mingshan got out of the car with his little cousin, and looked at the school in front of him. A banner welcoming new students was hung at the school gate. "This is Shi No. [-] Middle School, where you will study in the future."

"Hello classmate, are you a freshman?"

The school arranged for senior students to welcome the new students. When they saw a young man entering the school with a boy, a student came over and asked if they were the new students of the school, and asked them to show the notice.

"Is it this?" Qiao Minglang took out the notice he brought and handed it to the other party.

"Yes, that's it." The other party took a look at the notice, returned it to the boy, and said politely: "Oh, you are from Class One and One, Qiao Minglang, right? You go over there Report, there are teachers in your class there, and someone will take you to the dormitory."

"Thank you." Qiao Minglang thanked the person, and went to the place pointed by the person.

Today is the day for the school's new students to report, and the head teacher of each class takes the students to register here.

When they saw the sign with Class One and One Class, they walked over.

Chen Jun is the head teacher of Class One, Senior One. He came here today to register the students reporting for his class. The first student passed by, and the second student came over. He took a pen in his hand to register his name on the booklet, "Name."

"Qiao Minglang."

"Qiao Minglang?"

As soon as Chen Jun heard the name, he suddenly raised his head, with unspeakable excitement on his face, staring at the boy and asked, "You are Qiao Minglang?"

is there any problem?Qiao Minglang felt a little strange in his heart, and replied, "Yes."

"Hehe, okay, I'm the head teacher of your class, and my surname is Chen." Chen Jun got the list of new students in the class two days ago, and this year's No. 1 in the city's senior high school entrance examination was assigned to his class.

Their school's first year of high school has not yet divided into top classes and ordinary classes, so the freshmen who entered the school were scattered and assigned to each class. It was his luck that the top scorer in the senior high school entrance examination was assigned to their class.

"Hello, Teacher Chen." Qiao Minglang greeted the teacher.

"Oh, you are exempt from tuition fees, so you don't have to pay tuition fees, you only need to pay for books and school uniforms." Chen Jun looked at the list and knew that there was such a thing. When he saw the certificate brought by the student, Said.

After asking how much it was, Qiao Minglang paid the fees for books and school uniforms.

Chen Jun tore up two slips for the students to get things, and said: "You take the slips and go over there to pick up the books and school uniforms. There are two sets of school uniforms, one set of military uniforms, and one pair of shoes. When you go to pick up the things, take everything together." .”

"You take your things and go to the dormitory. The boys' dormitory in our class is on the east side of the second floor of Building No. 201. It connects to 202, 203, [-], and a small dormitory in the stairwell. They belong to our class. You Find out which dormitory you are in, and find a bed in the dormitory by yourself."

"Okay, thank you teacher." Qiao Minglang took the list, and followed the direction instructed by others to get his books, clothes and shoes.

Seeing that his cousin couldn't carry it by himself, Qiao Mingshan also helped him share a lot of things.

I asked people along the way, found No. 16 boys' dormitory building, and found the dormitory of their class.The student dormitories are filled with beds on upper and lower floors. There are eight beds in each dormitory in the large dormitory, and [-] people live in a dormitory.The small dormitory has only two beds for four people.

"It's here."

Qiao Minglang glanced at the dormitory semicolon in his hand, and found that he was assigned to a small dormitory.Pushing open the door of the dormitory, there was no one in the dormitory, there were only two beds in the dormitory, and he lived in the bottom one.

"There is also a balcony here, where you can brush your teeth and dry your clothes." Qiao Mingshan put down his things, opened another door, and found a small balcony outside, with a table for brushing teeth and a bathroom, "here It's the restroom, and the toilet."

"It's really nice here."

Qiao Minglang followed behind his cousin, walked to the back and took a look, feeling that the house was a bit strange.But it's good to be able to live with people, and he doesn't have too many requirements.

Seeing that there was nothing on my cousin's bed but a board, Qiao Mingshan said, "Your bed has nothing on it, let's go down and see where there are mats and quilts for sale, and buy you a bed."

"En, good." Qiao Minglang replied.
