Chapter 52

"Don't go!"

Wen Shuo jumped up in shock. Since last time he flipped the wall and gate of the old house, he had a subversive understanding of his mother's consumption concept. Since he became the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination, various subsidies and bonuses have indeed had a lot of spare money at home, but when he thought that his mother might dare to spend thousands of yuan to buy clothes, Wen Shuo felt ache!

Although he still has 240,000 yuan in savings, the old saying goes: money is hard to make money, and this money is hard to come by!

"Mom, I'll buy it myself. You finally asked for leave. Let's take a good rest at home."

"How can you go? You are careless and can't bear to spend money..."

When Wen Shuo heard this, he became even more frightened and said quickly: "I can do it, don't worry, I have to buy myself more clothes. It's still summer now, and autumn is coming soon, so I have to buy autumn clothes, right?"

As he spoke, he stood up and strode out - he really didn't dare to let his mother go with him. At that time, he would spend a lot of money and he wouldn't find a place to cry.

On the way to the mall, Wen Shuo made up his mind: summer is coming, so there is no need to buy summer clothes. A few days ago, my mother bought a new outfit, and the old clothes will be used to deal with the summer in just a few days. As for autumn clothes... After arriving at Beijing University, we will first train military training, and we need to spend money to buy military training uniforms. It is considered a autumn uniform. We must buy school uniforms. Another outfit, and we can wear two clothes in rotation, so there is no need to buy new clothes. There are shoes. We also make do with the shoes we bought last year in spring, but now we are already a smaller shoe. In summer, we basically make do with sandals and slippers. We have to go to Beijing to go to college, so we have to buy two pairs of sports shoes.

Wen Shuo calculated that today's spending cannot exceed 100 yuan!

As for whether the clothes are shabby, whether they will make people laugh and despise them when they arrive in the capital... Wen Shuo didn't think about it at all.

After all, he has been used to it for so many years, and no one has ever talked about his clothes in his daily life, so in Wen Shuo's subconscious, he has no understanding of his taste in his dress, and he doesn't care about these things.

Even though his mother had reminded me before that if I was not well dressed, I would be laughed at and looked down upon at the Beijing University, Wen Shuo still felt it didn't matter - because he insisted that in life, you would not be looked up to by wearing famous brands, nor would you be looked down upon by wearing vests, shorts and sandals.

The influence of living environment and conditions since childhood has led to the young and frivolous Wen Shuo's vision, too little knowledge, and too self-centered in this regard.

Outside Dongyun Mall, there are many shops selling clothes and shoes on both sides of the street. Wen Shuo went around the mall and then left. The clothes and shoes inside seemed too expensive to him, so he would rather be naked in the future. So, he went to the small shops on the street to find shoes and clothes to deal with. Finally, he spent 70 yuan to buy two pairs of sports shoes and 80 yuan to buy a dark blue sports suit. Although he didn't plan to buy clothes when he came, Wen Shuo considered that if he didn't buy a suit symbolically, his mother would probably complain that he would buy a suit himself and then go there himself, so he had to endure the pain and buy a suit, which was much more cost-effective than his mother's purchase.

Even so, after returning home, his mother was still nagged by him. He persuaded him to persuade him and did not buy clothes again.

The next morning.

After Wen Shuo finished a large bowl of noodles with three poached eggs, he repeatedly begged his mother not to send him off, so he walked out of the community alone, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt, gray shorts, sneakers, and carrying an old yellow canvas bag.

"Shuo, are you going to the capital?"

"I will be a college student in the future. You have to take good care of yourself when you go outside and don't let your mother worry about you!"

"The sesame cakes that my grandma just bought, put them in the bag and eat them on the way..."

"I have tea eggs here, put a few!"

"Come on, bring some buns with you. You are a little bitchy and a big man, and you are so fat. What should you do if you are hungry on the road? The things on the train are very expensive. Also, if you are not familiar with the place when you are in the capital, be careful."

...

From the unit entrance to the bus stop sign opposite the community gate, the residents of the community and the bosses of the shops outside chatted with Wen Shuo with great enthusiasm, stuffing buns, sesame cakes, tea eggs, melon seeds, and apples into his canvas bag... Boss Yang of the mutton soup restaurant saw that Wen Shuo could not hold too much, so he took out a plastic bag from the store and helped him pack all the food, so that Wen Shuo could carry it.

At this time, dozens of people had gathered outside the community, including men, women, young and old, and they followed Wen Shuo all the way to send them here.

Wen Shuo couldn't help but his eyes were red. He wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Just now, the bus arrived and stopped slowly.

Wen Shuo raised his hand and wiped his face and strode into the bus. The driver, ticket seller, and passengers on the bus recognized him and said hello to congratulate him on being admitted to Beijing University, and wish him a smooth journey and all the safety...

When the green train heading to Beijing at 8:00, drove out of Dongyun Railway Station, Li Qin walked into the office of the director of the farmers' market and resigned.

From today on, she will no longer work as a cleaner at the farmers' market.

Back then, the orphan and widowed mother were unwilling to be frustrated by fate and hoped to give her son a better life. Therefore, she lost money in business and owed huge debts. Li Qin was hit hard. At a young age, she endured humiliation and was willing to be a cleaner who only middle-aged and elderly people would do, just because although this job was hard, dirty, and had a low salary, she was at least stable and frugal to support her family.

Now that my son is going to college, the family still has some surplus money, but Li Qin knows very well that this money is far from enough for his son to go to college for four years. Although she knows that her son will definitely find a way to work and study and will definitely make money, but what if?

Moreover, I have to save more money for my son’s future!

So Li Qin decided to quit her job as a cleaner in the farmers' market, then rode a tricycle, and like her son in the past, picking up rags and scraps.

She also thought about it. There is nothing to be ashamed to pick up rags and collect waste. She earns more than being a cleaner and is more free. In Liujiaying Village, there is also more than three acres of fertile land inherited from Lao Hantou. It would be a pity to rent it to others for planting.

Besides, there is a son who was admitted to Beijing University...

Li Qin felt that not to mention that she would pick up rags and collect waste, even if she was going to pick up dung, no one would underestimate her or laugh at her. Instead, she would admire and envy her!

Dongyun is not far from the capital, more than 200 kilometers away.

Even if the station stops, the slowest green train will only take more than three hours to enter Beijing East Station.

Wen Shuo was carrying food in his right hand and a large canvas bag in his left hand. With his old-fashioned outfit, he looked around and was curious about everything, and his expression was full of excitement. He was a country young man who had never traveled far away since childhood and had never seen the world. He had the first time to work in Beijing. His fat figure, fair skin, and pretty facial features were just not so handsome because he was too fat, but his honest appearance added something indescribable to him, making people feel that he was easy to bully.

As the crowded crowd mixed with the strong smell of sweat and fishy smell walked out of the station, Wen Shuo stood in the crowded square, holding a canvas bag and plastic bag, looking around, frowned slightly.

It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching, and the temperature in the square was very high.

There were many black car drivers and people from small hotels shouting, or they took the initiative to come up and talk to the passengers, hoping to attract one or two guests. Not far away, three policemen were drinking tea under a large parasol, and sometimes observing the situation in the square, especially in crowded places, they would take a few more glances.

On the edge of the square near the road, there is a long, eye-catching simple aluminum alloy structure trellis with banners hanging on it and many young faces below, including men and women, wearing sun hats and T-shirts with the university name printed on it.

They are volunteers from several well-known universities in Beijing and are responsible for receiving freshmen at the station.

When the train entered the earthly realm of the capital, Wen Shuo practiced the mysterious method and had already had a keen perception of the natural qi mechanism of heaven and earth. He realized the abnormality, or changes of the natural qi mechanism, which was completely different from the state of the five elements of the spiritual energy between heaven and earth in the areas along the way.

Wen Shuo, who was on a long journey for the first time, was inevitably a little nervous and became more cautious.

What's going on?

Because the outside world is very wonderful, are there monsters in the outside world?

When I walked out of the train station, the more obvious the natural energy, the more powerful it was. It vaguely put a lot of pressure on Wen Shuo's psychology, as if there was some mysterious force in the dark, demonstrating to him, warning him not to act rashly, otherwise he would suffer an unpredictable blow.

This made Wen Shuo even more frightened and annoyed: "Damn it, I'm going far away for the first time, who did you mess with?"

When I was in a daze, I heard someone say, “Brother, do you take a taxi?”

"Brother, where are you going?"

"Little brother, do you want to go to the hotel to take a rest first? There is a massage, wash your feet..."

...

The black train drivers and small hotels who have been hiding in train stations all year round have already developed the skill of "knowing people with wise eyes". Therefore, whenever a train arrives at the station and a large number of passengers come out of the exit, they seem to shout loudly without any goal, or ask everyone when they walk forward, but in fact they will also watch the dishes and try to minimize unnecessary chats.
