The leisurely life of rebirth

The next few days were calm, the sun finally showed its smiling face, the temperature slowly rose, and the snow began to melt. Four days later, Fang Monan received a registered letter from Cheng Shigui, and the letter was sent significantly faster. The letter contained detailed information

The contract text and the goods were ready, waiting for her to pick them up. In her reply, she signed the contract and attached the new clothing design drawings. Of course, the mail was sent by registered mail, which was more secure. She also told him how to receive the goods.

Liang Honglie (I learned Liang Zi’s name from his grandmother), Mo Nan will call to inform them after Liang Zi gets on the train.

Three more days passed, and Fang Monan was counting the days. Liang Zi's injury was almost healed. But before he came to her, he knew that her words had probably fallen on deaf ears. She was the only one who blocked his way to the door.

"Liang Zi, come in with me." Fang Monan said to him with a military schoolbag on his back. It was equally cold inside and outside the house, and there was obviously no fire.

"Oh my God! She really came." Liang Zi followed him into the house, and her medicine was really effective, except that it hurt him to death on the first day. Later, he even took the medicine bottle to find the old stubborn man in the neighborhood.

The barefoot Chinese medicine doctor asked him to look at the wound and the medicine. The result was that Liangzi was unlucky. If he hadn't dealt with it in time, no matter how precious the medicine was, his arm would have been destroyed! After a few days of dressing change, his current condition

As long as he didn't exert too much force, he wouldn't feel the injury to his shoulder at all.

Liang Zi then politely said: "Nannan, thank you, otherwise my arm would be useless." In short, this arm was saved by someone, so this word of thanks is worthy of it.[

Fang Monan walked into the room, sat on the small bench, and stared at him: "Let the old stubborn man check the injury."

"How do you know?" Liang Zi sat opposite her and slapped his mouth in annoyance.

"Guess." Fang Monan didn't want to dwell on this topic and said directly, "Then how are you going to thank me." She blinked and stared at him in reply.

"Ah! I really want to thank you!" Liang Zi looked at her dumbfounded, then thought for a moment and said, "I am a wealthy person, and apart from being able to fight, I will beat anyone who messes with you."

"Do you think, with me like this, who would mess with me?" Fang Monan pointed to his small body, who would have trouble with a child.

"That's true." Liang Zi nodded and then looked squarely at the three-year-old little man in front of him.

Before Liang Zi could think about it carefully, Fang Monan said: "You really want to thank me."

"That's right, a man's words are hard to follow. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Liang Zi patted his chest and said proudly.

"Okay! There is a train from Beijing to Yangcheng this afternoon. You can take the train to Yangcheng and help me pick up a batch of goods. The goods are probably electronic watches, small calculators, women's beads, jewelry and the like.

"You will know the specific details when someone picks you up at Yangcheng Station." Fang Monan found what he found on the passenger timetable from Mr. Lin. At this time, he could only go to Yangcheng, and the special zone must have a certificate issued by the public security.

That's fine. I need to trouble Cheng Shigui more and walk more.

"Ah! Receive the goods, electronic watch..." Liang Zi opened his mouth and repeated stupidly.

"The name of the person picking you up is Cheng Shigui. If you haven't met him, this is his contact number." Fang Monan handed him the written contact information, "Here are 300 yuan, travel expenses, accommodation, meals, and this schoolbag.

, there is some food in it, take it with you to eat on the road." She handed him the military backpack.

Liang Zi looked at the big unity in his hand, holding his schoolbag, and looked at her stupidly. He had never dreamed of so much money. "I...I..."

"Okay, leave me alone. Pack up and leave quickly! The train will be here soon." Fang Monan walked up and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't say anything about me to the other party. Remember this, remember this.

"She warned again carefully.

"Oh! I'll leave right away." Liang Zi recovered his mind and said. It's too easy to go to Yangcheng just to pick up the goods. He must do this well. He didn't think about the meaning of Fang Monan's last sentence. He simply packed up.

I picked up my luggage, said hello to his mother and left in a hurry.

When Liang Zi sat on the train, he felt like he was sleepwalking. The farthest he had ever been was when he left the county town during the labor camp and reached the suburbs. He looked at the big cities along the railway and listened to the sound of the train "clang, clatter".

Not dreaming.

Liang Zi looked at everything in the carriage curiously, listening to the two people sitting across from him talking about everything. A young man was about the same age as him, and the other was a middle-aged man. It was getting dark, and the young man opposite bought a box lunch from the dining car.

One of the middle-aged people said: "Young man, it's already dark, why don't you go buy something to eat?"

"Oh! No need to buy food, I brought it with you at home." Liang Zi then remembered the military backpack Fang Monan gave him before leaving. It was bulging with stuff. He opened the backpack and saw a big meat bun inside.

It smelled delicious. There were also sausages, bacon, small crispy fish, etc. wrapped in oil paper, as well as an enamel teapot for drinking water, and towels. He looked at these blankly, and his eyes gradually became moist, except for his mother.

No one was so kind to him, she was really attentive.

"Ah! It's really rich." said the young man on the hard seat.

"Haha... prepared at home." Liang Zi said with a silly smile. The food was wrapped in brown paper. He put it on the small table and ate it as soon as he picked it up. It tasted so good. He had long heard that Aunt Mo's steamed buns were delicious, but he didn't expect it.

He also ate the meat buns in the same way. The small crispy fish, sausages, and bacon made his mouth full of oil. He also didn't forget to let the two people sit opposite him. As a result, with their participation, the three of them had enough food for two days.

More than half.[

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be so delicious." The young man said shyly, looking at the mess on the table.

"Haha...it doesn't matter." Liang Zi could only say with heartache. He would have known better not to pretend to be generous.

Liang Zi was eating less during the rest of the journey. Although they also bought lunch boxes from the dining car for Liang Zi to eat as an apology, Liang Zi couldn't eat all the time! To be honest, the box lunches were really unpalatable.

So he drank hot water and ate cold steamed buns. In the end, he didn't even eat for the whole day and just drank water. He also wanted to eat the train lunch box, but the price was ridiculously expensive. He would rather go hungry than mess around.

Spend money. He was afraid that the money would be stolen, so he hid it in different places, some close to his body, and some hidden in his shoes and socks.

*************************

After staying up for four days, I finally arrived in Yangcheng. I walked out of the station wandering along with the crowd. Outside the station, I saw people holding various big signs to pick up people in the crowded crowd. There were also many people waiting in front of me.

The hotel clerks who came to solicit customers crowded around, and it wasn't long before he saw the man who came to pick him up holding a sign.

Their sign was the biggest. Liang Zi looked at the other person in suits and ties, who was well-dressed and whose temperament was obviously incompatible with the people around him. He walked forward with some hesitation. Is this the person who came to pick him up? He was a little afraid to confirm.

He stared blankly at the handsome Cheng Shigui in front of him.

Cheng Shigui and Han Zhiqian had been waiting at the station early, but unexpectedly the train was delayed for an hour. They finally arrived. Looking at the crowds from all over the country coming out of the station, the two of them stood out.

Cheng Shigui exuded a cool and noble aura, and no one dared to approach him. Everyone who came and went consciously took a detour and walked away. Therefore, even though Cheng Shigui and the others were standing in front of the crowded station, they seemed so "empty" in front of them and behind them.

Liang Zi swallowed his saliva, looked at the glorious figure in front of him, and said with some trembling: "My name is Liang Honglie, others call me Liang Zi." As soon as Liang Zi started to speak, his nervousness disappeared. He asked solemnly: "

Are you Comrade Cheng Shigui?"

Cheng Shigui looked at the tall man standing in front of him, wearing a patched gray cotton-padded jacket, a military green coat on his back, and a pair of cloth shoes. He looked nervous. Could it be him? He was no different from most of the people who came out.

Different, their eyes sparkled with the novelty and envy of this place, everyone looked at everything here greedily.

"Comrade." Han Zhiqian lowered his head and smiled sullenly. Cheng Shigui kicked him, and he immediately stood up. He suppressed his laughter, but the smile was still visible in his eyes.

"Yes, I am Cheng Shigui. Did Fang Monan ask you to come?" Cheng Shigui introduced him again, "He is Han Zhiqian."

"Hello, I am Han Zhiqian."

"Hello! Hello!" Liang Zi hunched over and said hurriedly, "It was Fang Monan who asked me to come." Fortunately, they spoke Mandarin, even though there were some accents unique to the south, which could be understood rather than spoken.

Birdsong.

"Okay, let's go! Let's go eat first!" Cheng Shigui said. After squeezing among the crowd for five minutes, they finally left the station square and arrived in front of the car.

Liang Zi sat in the car and did not dare to move. He put his coat on his lap for fear of staining the car. He could no longer think about what was going on and how did Fang Monan know them. They were obviously related to each other.

He is a person from two worlds. Once he has come, he will make peace with it and take care of things. He calms down his mind and looks at the high-rise buildings retreating outside the car.

As Cheng Shigui drove, Han Zhiqian twisted his body and introduced the tall buildings on both sides of the road to Liang Zi. He watched Liang Zi go from being nervous at first to calming down and being able to talk to them fluently. He adjusted his mood so quickly. Although he was dressed plainly, it should be said that he was shabby and had a poor heart.

Not bad.

The car drove for half an hour and arrived at the Tianhe Hotel. "Oh my God, such a high building must have dozens of floors, right?" Liang Zi raised his neck and looked at the main building of the Tianhe Hotel as soon as he got off the car, tutting. The county government also

There are only a few small two-story buildings, and the rest are bungalows. Even in the provincial capital, the tallest building is only about six stories. Of course, this is also what others have said. He has never seen a tall building. This time he can be considered a foreigner.

It's so naughty, it's enough to show off in front of that group of 'foolish friends' for a while.

"Stop counting, there are ten floors in total." Han Zhiqian patted Liang Zi on the shoulder, "Let's go!"

Liang Zi followed them into the Tianhe Hotel and took the elevator to the seventh floor. Liang Zi was nervous and clutched his military coat. After all, he had never been to such a high-end occasion.

Han Zhiqian held the key he received from the reception desk, opened the door to the room, and arranged for Liang Zi to stay. He also took Liang Zi to visit the room and introduced in detail how to use various facilities. He asked him to take a shower first, and then Cheng Shigui and the others

I will wait for him in another room and pick him up for dinner in about an hour.[

After they left, Liang Zi pinched his legs hard, "Oh my god! It hurts." He stood up and touched the TV, which was a rare thing. He sat on the soft bed and then stood up suddenly.

He ran towards the bathroom and followed Han Zhiqian's instructions and took a quick hot shower.

In another suite, it was obviously a higher level than Liang Zi's room. Cheng Shigui and Han Zhiqian murmured, "Matthew, what do you think?" Han Zhiqian pursed his lips.

"What do you think? I'll find out soon after I ask him." Cheng Shigui said, leaning on the sofa. "Okay, if you have time, contact the staff as soon as possible. We still have a lot of things to do after sending him away!"

"Hey!" Han Zhiqian nodded.

After Liang Zi took a shower, he sat in the room waiting for Cheng Shigui and the others to arrive. They came over on time an hour later. Cheng Shigui looked at the torn cotton jacket on Liang Zi, frowned, and then relaxed.

Fang Monan wrote in his letter that the people who came to pick up the goods were all from a small place. Please bear with me if you have any questions. Obviously Cheng was expensive or not well prepared. He did not expect that Fang Monan asked the people to pick up the goods.

He would be such a bumpkin.

"Comrade Han, how much does it cost to live here for a day?" Liang Zi pulled Han Zhiqian's sleeves and asked in a low voice. Liang Zi was a little afraid of the Cheng Shigui who was as tall as him and had a cold face despite his handsome appearance.

"Ten dollars a day."

"Ah! It's so expensive. Oh my god!" Liang Zi smacked his tongue.

"Don't worry, you are a guest from afar and we will entertain you." Han Zhiqian patted him and told him not to worry.

Cheng Shigui took him to a Cantonese restaurant and sat in a small box.

While waiting for the food, Cheng Shigui asked, "Did you have anything to say to Miss Fang Monan when you came?"

"Explain!" Liang Zi was looking around at the layout of the room. When he heard his question, he immediately said seriously: "Uh! Miss Fang Menan and I are neighbors." It's really awkward to say this. "When she came, she said I came to Yangcheng.

After receiving the goods, she gave me 300 yuan. Except for the 12 yuan spent on the ticket, I didn’t spend a penny on the rest. She didn’t say anything else.”

Cheng Shigui nodded, and just then the food was served. Let’s eat first. The food was very rich. Not only did it include Cantonese-style seafood, but also some northern dishes were taken into account that Liang Zi was from the north. The color, flavor and taste were all good, but Liang Zi didn’t dare to move until Han Zhiqian

I said eat it!

Liang Zi threw off his arms and ate. He was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. He only ate northern dishes with rice, and the seafood was basically untouched.

Cheng Shigui and Han Zhiqian were dumbfounded with their chopsticks. They hadn't started yet. After a while, they saw that he had already eaten more than half of the food. He had never seen such a rough and unrestrained eating appearance.

"Didn't you eat on the train?" Han Zhiqian looked at him and asked curiously. "Didn't Fang Monan give you 300 yuan?"

Liang Zi then raised his head to look at them, and hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, "Oh! Nannan brought me some dry food when I came here. Because it was delicious, he shared it with the people at the same table, so... As for the train lunch box

, it tasted bad and expensive, so I didn’t buy it.”

"Then you haven't eaten for a few days." Cheng Shigui asked.

"For more than a day, I only drank water. That's why I'm so hungry." Liang Zi saw that neither of them moved their chopsticks, and his face suddenly turned red.

"Haha... you!" Han Zhiqian looked at him funny and said, "Why do you think Fang Monan gave you so much money? Isn't it just for you to spend it?"

"That's not possible. How can money be spent carelessly?" Liang Zi shook his head and waved his hands again.

Cheng Shigui looked at this simple and silly man with a funny look, "Why don't you eat seafood?"

"Hmm! I don't know what to eat." Liang Zi lowered his head and said shyly.

Seeing his embarrassed look, Cheng Shigui confessed, "Haha...it doesn't matter, I'll teach you." Then he said enthusiastically, "Waiter, two more big bowls of rice."

After the meal, Liang Zi not only tasted the real Yangcheng cuisine, but also learned how to eat seafood. However, the price of seafood in those years was not as outrageous as in later generations. The total meal for the three of them cost less than 50 yuan.

After the meal, Han Zhiqian asked, "Liang Zi, when do you plan to return."

"The goods are ready. If possible, I would like to take the train back this afternoon." A meal costs more than 50 yuan, and a night's sleep costs 10 yuan. It is better to leave early.

"It's so urgent that we don't go around. It's rare to come out once." Cheng Shigui said.

"No, no." Liang Zi shook his head and refused. He had enjoyed something he had never experienced for more than twenty years. Enough was enough, so he had better go back quickly.

Cheng Shigui and the others got in the car, "Okay, I'll take you to pick up the goods tomorrow morning. The train will take you at noon. Go back to the hotel first, have a good rest in the afternoon, or go out for a walk. We'll come find you in the evening."

"Okay... okay... it's all up to you." Liang Zi nodded in agreement.

One afternoon, Cheng Shigui and the others went to do errands. Liang Zi did not choose to go out. He took a hard seat and did not get a good rest, so he slept soundly in the room.

In the evening, after Cheng Shigui and the others took Liang Zi to dinner, they took him to see the night scene of Yangcheng and bought him a complete set of clothing, including leather shoes.

Liang Zi refused to accept it, so Nai Cheng Shigui had no choice but to say, if he didn't accept it, don't accept the goods and just leave.

Cheng Shigui's sarcastic words forced him to accept the clothes. Han Zhiqian teased him: "You don't have to be so cold-faced when giving clothes to others!"

"Huh! Can he accept it otherwise?"

"Yes." Han Zhiqian nodded.
