Chapter 5 Out of the City

Liu Shu, who was lying outside the fence, returned home with bacon until after three o'clock in the afternoon, when Liu Dazhuang returned home alone.

"Dad, I bought you sugar, you take it, and go to the fields with me later."

Liu Dazhuang walked slowly to the side of the willow tree, took the candy, and looked at him without opening his mouth.

"Is there anything you want to say to me? I'll watch."

Liu Dazhuang opened his mouth, and said silently with tears in his eyes, the little baby has been playing with him for so many years, although it is not the first time he has left home, but this time he will never let him come back again, I feel very uncomfortable.

He no longer has playmates by his side, and no one will talk to him anymore, where will he go and what will he do?

"Where are you going?" Willow asked him, and Liu Dazhuang nodded.

In fact, he didn't know where he would go, and he didn't know why his mother kept telling him to leave here.

In the third year of high school, my mother thought he would go to college and went out of the city. Who knew that because his father had a mad attack, he was locked up at home and went to play by himself, so he missed two exams.The boys in the village went out to work, and when they returned home during the Chinese New Year, their mothers would ask one by one if they could take their boys out to work together, but the boy came back with his luggage after leaving for less than a week.

It's like this time and time again, a 21-year-old is not sensible at all.It’s not that it’s delicious to be lazy, and I can go to the fields, and I can help people with heavy work in the village, but I don’t want to go out of the mountains.If you have something to eat, don't think about the future.

"Dad, what's the matter with you? I went out to play for a few days, and came back when I ran out of money. It's not the same before, why are you crying?" Liu Shu didn't understand why Liu Dazhuang had such a sudden expression, and laughed at him, saying Don't be ashamed, crying at such a grown-up.

Although the person Tan Meng entrusted this time is different from the past, he is indeed a big man to Liu Shu, but so what, if he wants to come back, can he come back or not?

In the evening, when Tan Meng came home from work in the dried fruit factory, he returned to the front room from the backyard while the willow tree was boiling water for a bath, and saw Tan Meng put all his clothes and other things into a snakeskin bag with red, white and blue stripes.

"Do you want me to film?" Liu Shu asked her, Tan Meng kept silent and did not answer Liu Shu, washed Liu Shu's dirty clothes, stayed by the stove to dry, and then went into the room to talk to him.

"Liu Shu, you are old and young. Our family doesn't have much money. We won't be able to marry a wife in the future, so we will make your mother miserable. Staying here is useless. Go to the city with Director Chen tomorrow, and he will arrange a job for you."

Willow nodded, and sat watching TV with his father.

"Practice Mandarin well, try to speak the lines, and be active, so that people won't bully you."

"Yeah." Willow replied casually, anyway, he will come back in a few days.

"Listen to me too. I'll let the director watch your every move. Don't come back if you don't make money. This time I'm serious. Grandpa and grandma are gone, and no one will help you."

Liu Shu naturally understood Tan Meng's temper, and while she was still speaking in a friendly manner, she didn't dare to make a fuss, and only asked her softly how much money she had to earn to come back.

In the past, his grandparents spoke for him, but since his only grandmother passed away last year, Liu Dazhuang was the only one who objected, but his status in this family was after all inferior to his mother, and it was useless to object.

"If you can build a brick building that is the same as the village chief's house, I will let you come back." Tan Meng never thought about having a new house at all, and she didn't know how much it cost to build a house. Anyway, she couldn't earn it in her life, so Giving Liu Shu such a request can only be said to be a bet, and it depends on whether he has the ability to come back again.

Liu Shu didn't dare to refute, he had never thought of marrying a wife and building a new building, suddenly being told by Tan Meng, he only regretted why he didn't earn more money back then.

At dawn the next day, Liu Dazhuang took two candies and put them on Willow's palm as a farewell gift.

Tan Meng went to work in the factory early one day, and instead of seeing him off, she only told the village chief to take care of Liu Dazhuang and not let him go down the mountain with him.

Liushu and Dagen got into a van, and Chen Yushi sat in the passenger seat and kept turning his head to talk and laugh with them. He was in his early fifties and was humorous and friendly. The two boys always made him laugh.

"It's no better than here when you enter the city. Be more careful in what you say and do in the future. We are roommates, and we will be a family when we are outside. Don't see outsiders. If you are bullied, find Uncle Chen."

Liu Shu turned to look outside the car. Liu Dazhuang stood by the stone sign at the entrance of the village without moving, his eyes were fixed on the van. The village chief grabbed his hand to prevent him from running out suddenly.

It wasn't until the van disappeared that Liu Dazhuang was anxious to run forward to see where the willow tree was. He was afraid that the road would be too long and he wouldn't be able to remember it, and it would be a disaster if he couldn't find it.

The village chief dragged him and called to several old people around him to drag him back to sit in the house.

-

When I first arrived in the city, the difference from before is that the accommodation conditions have improved. Before going to the city to work, I didn’t live in a small room with only a few square meters in a factory, or a small apartment crowded with a dozen people.

Chen Yushi took them to his home.

Chen Yushi's family lived in an ordinary residential building. They lived on the third floor. There was a suite on the second floor that his mother lived in during her lifetime. It has to be under the nose to take care of it, so the second floor is occupied by two people.

The second floor is a small suite with three bedrooms and two living rooms. One of the rooms is locked. Chen Yushi said that it is a place where friends put props. They will only come to pick them up when they are needed. No one will come here on weekdays. Yes, let them live here with peace of mind.The house is free for them to live in, and the water and electricity are also free, but there is a request, that is, to help him with a few tricks occasionally or to do handyman when there is a shortage of manpower.

Chen Yushi has seen the work attitude of the two on the mountain. They are sincere and serious. Except that Liu Shu is not very active at times, there are no shortcomings. However, as long as he has money for him, he will immediately be motivated. Medicine" can save.

"The house was cleaned by your aunt Zeng yesterday, and there are two rooms left for you to choose from. You can go upstairs for dinner. The dishes you Zeng Zhen cook are delicious. You can also bring my silly son with you when you have time. His sister stays together, she doesn't look like a boy after a long time, even I despise him."

"How old is Uncle Chen's child?" Da Gen put his luggage aside and looked around. The floor is covered with tiles and wooden boards, and the walls are all white. Looking at it in the living room, there are still a few small doors, which should be rooms and kitchens.

"Daughter thirteen, son twelve. Put your things in order. I'll go upstairs to say hello first. After putting your luggage, go upstairs and ring the doorbell on the left." Chen Yushi said with a smile on his face, and helped them close the door. After coming to the door, he quickly ran upstairs to report the news to his son.

As a father, he can't go home to play basketball with his son because of work. He has a big job to do in a few days, and he has to leave home for a few days. Now that he has two older brothers to accompany him, he finally has an explanation.

As soon as the door was closed, Liu Shu, who had never seen the world, lay down on the sofa, hugged the pillow excitedly, and buried his head in it.

"Why didn't you get to know Director Chen earlier? I have never encountered such a good thing when I went out to work with them before. Why do you have all kinds of relatives in your family?"

"I said they are relatives, but I haven't seen them before. If they didn't want to film a movie, they wouldn't know there are such important relatives." Dagen sat beside the willow tree, closed his eyes comfortably, and imagined that he would have a set in the future. son's house, driving around in a van.

Suddenly Willow put one foot on his lap and said softly, "Dagen, how much does it cost to build a house like this?"

Dagen opened his eyes: "It shouldn't be expensive over there, our family is building such a building now, it doesn't cost 20."

"20?!" Liu Shu looked at him in shock, 20, how many years would it take to earn it? "How long are we going to be here to make this money?"

"Do you want to build a house? Are you planning to marry a wife?" Dagen looked at him mockingly.

Liu Shu nodded and shook his head again: "My mother said that I can only go home when I earn the money to build this kind of house."

"I just want you to get ready to marry a wife. My dad asked me to come out to see the world. You just treat it as seeing the world and make money along the way. What's so good about going back? Every year, besides working, you just work. , are you so willing to go back?" Dagen, who rarely works in the fields, doesn't really want to go back, but he doesn't believe that people like Liu Shu, who work in the fields every day, would want to go back.

"There are my father and my mother at home. If I'm not here, one day my father's illness will attack again, and my mother will definitely be mad at him."

"Then earn more money and go back to treat your father. It's impossible for your mother not to let you go back because you can't build a house. After the Chinese New Year, let's go home together."

Liu Shu nodded, and went home after the Chinese New Year. Anyway, as long as he went back with money, he could give Tan Meng an explanation, and he could go to the city again depending on the situation.

After sitting for a while, each person chose a room, packed their luggage, closed the door and went upstairs.

Dagen ran ahead and rang the doorbell of Chen Yu's family. After a while, a small boy with fair skin came to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he called him brother when he saw them.

The two froze in place, a little at a loss.

The little boy in front of him was simply a mini version of Chen Yushi, with a round face and big eyes with small smile lines.

"Is it Liushu and Shuogen?" A gentle female voice came from the room, and there was a sound of footsteps, and Chen Yushi's family rushed to the door to welcome them.

Chen Yushi's wife, Zeng Zhen, looked very young, her dress was dignified, neither plain nor too luxurious, she called the two people outside the door to come in for dinner, and beckoned her son to put the dishes and chopsticks in order. It was gentle, so gentle that it was not artificial at all, and the family members didn't feel anything strange, and they acted as usual.

Such a gentle person, standing with a cheerful and fanatical person like Chen Yushi who laughed all day long, seemed a bit out of harmony.

In this way, the two who had just arrived had their first meal in the city.

Putting aside the family affairs for the time being, Liu Shu decided to work hard to make money, and when he had saved enough money, he would never come out again.
