Chapter 33

Parsed with an automated reader. The content accuracy is not guranteed.

Liu Fengzhen got up very early on the 3rd. She has to

prepare dry food for her son. It is hot in July, and many things are easily

damaged. Wang Licheng asked Liu Fengzhen to make some dry old-fashioned steamed

buns, and brought a bottle of pickles and a teacup. He was going to experience

the hard life.

He had thought about bringing some biscuits, snacks and

drinks to eat on the train. The biscuits are not very hungry, and he still

doesn't know how many to bring. His eldest brother told him that there were a

lot of people taking the train and it was crowded. He gave up on the idea of

snacking on cookies.

Xiao Jianjun is a salesman. He has traveled to many places

and rides a lot of trains. He has experience. Tropical dry steamed buns are the

best, and they are not easy to spoil.

Wang Licheng’s entire luggage was in a satchel, and the

clothes and steamed buns were placed in it, and the size was just right; travel

light.

After lunch, Xiao Hongyan took Wang Licheng to the station.

She watched the car carrying Wang Licheng go away, and she wanted to stop Wang

Licheng and tell him not to go.

She suddenly understood her sister-in-law's complaint. I

don't want him to have much ability or how much money he makes, I just want him

to be by my side.

Wang Licheng bought a ten o'clock train ticket, and he went

to the train station ahead of time after having dinner. There were not too many

people, and the poor seat in the waiting room had long been occupied. He took

out the newspaper he had prepared and spread it out on the floor and sat on the

floor. The money in his underwear pocket felt uncomfortable against his

stomach.

There was only some change in his pockets and satchel. The

pockets on the underwear were sewn by Xiao Hongyan the day before yesterday,

and the underwear in the satchel had pockets stitched by Xiao Hongyan on the

panties, and the 5,000 Yuan in cash he brought was inside.

The money is safe to put here, but it is inconvenient for

him to go to the toilet, and every time he takes off his pants, he is worried

that the money will fly out.

Wang Licheng was looking for a better position. There was a

big pillar behind it, just right against it. He closed his eyes and moved his

satchel to his waist to rest. He has to sit on the train for a day and a half

without buying a sleeper ticket.

It was difficult to stay up until ten o'clock, the train was

late, and eleven o'clock was late again. Wang Licheng got on the train at one

o'clock in the morning. There are many people in the train, most of them have

rested, and a few people should be woken up by people who just got on the

train.

There are all kinds of strange sleeping positions on the

train, as long as there is a place to support the body, you can fall asleep.

However, there are still the most people who sleep in a sitting position, but

their bodies are crooked when they are asleep. You are next to me, and I am

leaning against him.

A middle-aged man fell asleep on Wang Licheng's seat. Wang

Licheng patted him to wake him up and showed him his train ticket. The

middle-aged man glared at Wang Licheng dissatisfied, and scolded in his mouth.

Wang Licheng couldn't understand and ignored him.

The time on the train is difficult, especially in the summer

train, the smell of sweat, feet, body odor, and even the smell of things going

rancid.

Along the way, fewer people get off and more people get on.

There were more and more people on the train, and Wang Licheng didn't take a

sip of water in the last half of the day. There were so many people that there

was nowhere to go to the toilet after drinking water. He ate the slightly

rancid steamed buns and swallowed the pickles slowly.

After getting off the bus, he immediately found a hotel to

open a room to sleep, and only took a shower after waking up.

He called Luo Zhongyong and checked out to find him.

Luo Zhongyong had graduated. In order to wait for Wang

Licheng, he opened a twin room near the school.

"Brother Wang, where are you coming to the

capital?" He was about to return to Jiangcheng, Liang Lixue took care of

him, and he finally graduated. Suddenly he received a call from Wang Licheng to

come to the capital.

"Zhongyong, what are your plans after graduation?"

He needs Luo Zhongyong's support. Having his support is equivalent to having

the support of the Luo family.

"Go to Pucheng to be a teacher." He had this idea,

and now he said it mostly as a joke. Because his dad would definitely not

agree.

"Isn't Liang Lixue planning to go back to

Jiangcheng?" He had heard Xiao Hongyan mention that Liang Lixue would not

teach after this semester.

"I don't know; I haven't gone back yet."

"If Liang Lixue returns to Jiangcheng, what are your

plans? Do you want to start a career on your own? You are studying finance, and

you should know about the meeting some time ago and the reform of the economic

system."

"Brother Wang came to the capital for what." He

understood what Wang Licheng meant. If Liang Lixue returned to Jiangcheng, he

would be willing to work in Jiangcheng, but he would not stay in the capital.

His roots are in Jiangcheng, and all his family's

connections are in Jiangcheng.

"Have you heard of Master Wang's instant noodles? I

invested in a factory in Yanjing this year. I want to get the distribution

rights."

"Brother Wang, is that what you're talking about?"

"Well, yes." Why are they all sold on the street,

is it too late?

"Brother Wang, you may be disappointed. Their company

will open branches in most provincial capital cities next year. The registered

capital of the branch is 5 million, and it is mainly responsible for regional

sales." This instant noodle has become popular in the capital. I talked

about this company in combination with the market economy system.

"Really?" He thought that this cake was too much

for him to eat alone, and wanted to find Luo Zhongyong with him. In his

estimated value, the provincial generation needs to invest up to 1 million, how

did it exceed so much.

"Brother Wang, let's meet in Jiangcheng first!" If

Brother Wang had told him on the phone that he was here for instant noodles, he

would not let him come.

Master Wang is in the limelight now, and there are too many

people staring at it, and he doesn't think Master Wang has this much value.

In the past few days, Wang Licheng's mood has not been high,

and Luo Zhongyong knew that it was the instant noodle incident. He knew that

Brother Wang was laid off. Now it's not just Brother Wang who has been laid

off. Workers in the factory have been laid off. In all planned economies loss-making

factories across the country will lay off workers, and the number of workers

facing layoffs will only increase.

"Brother Wang, don't be discouraged. My dad said that

there are many factories in the country that are losing money. The

implementation of the market economy will definitely bring many factories to

close down. You said that there are so many factories in Jiangcheng; why not

take the next factory and make it yourself, rather than selling other people's

products. Good!" He said this now to comfort Wang Licheng, buying a

factory requires funds, and selling the factory is just his father's

speculation, who knows when it will come true.

He knows what Luo Zhongyong said, buying and selling

factories is after the wave of layoffs. The wave of layoffs broke out in 1996,

and there are at least four years left. Can he wait?

Luo Zhongyong's heart is like an arrow, and he urges Wang

Licheng to go home every day. He received a call from his mother yesterday that

Liang Lixue has returned to Jiangcheng, and will not return to Pucheng to

teach.

Wang Licheng's ears were worn out. After agreeing to him, he

immediately bought a train ticket and two hard sleepers.

To be honest, he was very unwilling and came full of hope,

and he failed before he even tried.

They will go back to Jiangcheng tomorrow and accompany Luo

Zhongyong out for a big purchase today. Both of them have bought a lot of

things. After buying things, Wang Licheng is in a much better mood.

In front of a shop selling women's clothing, Wang Licheng

was buying dresses for Xiao Hongyan.

"Brother Wang, how do you know women so well?"

Wang Licheng taught him to buy things for Liang Lixue, and Liang Lixue liked

them very much, and she will reply to him now.

"That's because you didn't understand women

carefully." That's because you're not a woman. A girl like Liang Lixue who

loves beauty has a very good mind.

"Brother Wang, you know women so well, isn't it easy to

chase after your sister-in-law?" He chased Liang Lixue for a year, but

made no progress. Before Wang Licheng's help came in the second half of the

year, Liang Lixue's attitude towards him was much better.

Wang Licheng didn't know how to answer, saying that Xiao

Hongyan was chasing him! Luo Zhongyong must think he is bragging.

He knows Liang Lixue so well, not because of his ability,

but because of her simplicity. She doesn't hide what she says.

"It's easy; we got the certificate in four months,

isn't it fast?"

Back in Jiangcheng, Luo Zhongyong invited Wang Licheng to

stay at his house for one night, and his father, Luo Quanmin, happened to be at

home.

Luo Quanmin, director of the Jiangcheng Planning Committee,

later renamed the "Development and Reform Commission", in charge of

the economy. Luo Zhongyong's success in later generations is inseparable from

him.

Father Luo thanked Wang Licheng for taking care of Luo

Zhongyong along the way, and instructed Luo Zhongyong to rush away from home.

"My dad is like this, he's busier than anyone else,

take a shower first, get a good night's sleep, and come back to Pucheng

tomorrow."

When he first met Wang Licheng, Wang Licheng had a bad

impression. A stranger suddenly stands in front of you, trying to make a

relationship, just like those who used to ask their father for errands.

Later, I really got to know him, and I was gradually

convinced by him. Not only because he helped him pursue Liang Lixue.

In the past six months, they often chatted on the phone, and

Luo Zhongyong would talk about some unhappy things he encountered at school.

Wang Licheng will explain to him, and he will also tell some interesting

stories about study accommodation.

He knew that Wang Licheng did not go to university, and he

knew so much, which showed that he liked to read and had a lot of experience.

Wang Licheng came back and saw Xiao Hongyan smiling happily

at the door of the store, while Chen Derong was working.

"Hongyan." He called Xiao Hongyan.

Xiao Hongyan immediately came over to take the luggage in

his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"You go to take a shower first, and I'll go upstairs to

get your clothes."

They now have two homes, one in the store and one in the

real home. The things on both sides are all arranged, and you can rest wherever

you want to rest. Even eating is here, because they spend the most time in the

store.

When Wang Licheng walked back, his clothes were soaked with

sweat, and his body was a little red. This year he ran a lot outside and got a

lot of tan.

"Well."

He went into the bathroom and turned on the shower head to

take a cold shower. The water flowing out of the water pipe was still warm, not

cold at all.

Wang Licheng came out of the shower, and Xiao Hongyan was

waiting for him outside the door.

Wang Licheng pulled her over and kissed her.

"Did you miss me?" He had been out for ten days

and missed her a little.

"Think; are you tired?" He only made

two phone calls after ten days of going out.
