Yu Tian originally planned to collect five hundred before setting off to Yicheng.

But things are unpredictable.

He also didn't expect that his father would break his leg.

It’s urgent to make money.

Business opportunities are fleeting.

Although I only have two hundred dollars, I can't delay it any longer and must set out immediately.

"Do you really want to leave? Is the money...enough?"

Li Wanrou stopped and turned around suddenly, a little worry flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Two hundred yuan is not all the money for purchasing goods, but also for round trip expenses, food and accommodation expenses.

A round-trip train ticket costs 14.50 yuan.

After deducting these, there are still one hundred and seventy-one yuan left.

The cost of accommodation and meals is about ten yuan.

After this, there is only a little over 150 capital left.

But I still have to go.

Yu Tian’s hard-working character over the years is that he knows that there are tigers in the mountains and prefers to travel to the tiger mountains.

As long as there is a success rate of more than 30%, he is willing to try it.

This may also have something to do with his own gambler mentality.

It's just that when he tries, he will try his best to make the results develop in a good direction.

Maybe 30%, through his efforts, it might become 100%.

"enough..."

Yu Tian's heart skipped a beat, "Wanrou, don't worry about me. Let's go and hand over the money first. You can take care of the old man and the children and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, the two of them went downstairs together.

After paying the money, Li Wanrou accompanied Yu Tian out and went straight to the station.

Yu Tian went out this time without telling his parents.

He only told Li Wanrou to inform his third brother and ask him to tell Lin Changshui that he could rest assured that the money would be returned on time.

I spent money to buy two tickets.

One seat ticket and one platform ticket.

Platform tickets are a dime.

Li Wanrou insisted on sending Yu Tian to the car in person.

"Either...leave tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?"

On the platform, Li Wanrou held Yu Tian's hand, "In two days, won't we be able to save more money?"

"No."

Yu Tian decisively refused, "Time waits for no one. In this era, things change one day at a time. You may not know how much it will change in two days."

People who are not sensitive to time cannot feel the changes around them.

The vast majority of people are just small waves in the ocean, drifting with the current.

Seeing that Yu Tian insisted on leaving, Li Wanrou couldn't say anything else.

Half an hour later, the green train pulled into the platform. Amidst the noisy roar, Yu Tian separated from Li Wanrou, passed through the crowd, and squeezed into the train.

"Wanrou! Wait for me to come back!"

At the window, Yu Tian waved his hand.

Sitting in the car, he thought about the past again.

After the death of his wife and children in his previous life, he left alone and lonely, and never returned to this city that made him sad.

But now.

He left again.

But with full expectations.

He even wanted to make time go faster, let these days fly by, and come back to hug his dear wife and children as soon as possible.

The train whistled, made a rumble, and started slowly.

Li Wanrou's beautiful tear-stained face became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from sight.

Yu Tian closed his eyes and thought carefully about his experiences in the past few days, as if it was a lifetime ago.

The train is not moving very fast.

Like an old ox, it chugs forward.

The carriage of the old green train is filled with the smell of all kinds of fireworks.

People smoking, playing cards, and breastfeeding children are everywhere.

Yu Tian waited for a long time, opened his eyes, and found that there was a handsome girl opposite him, looking at him carefully.

This girl is quite handsome.

Wearing a red checkered shabby shirt and a ponytail, he looked playful.

Her eyes are big and round.

Judging from her face, she is an extremely innocent rural girl, about 20 years old.

"Can you read faces?"

After a long journey, Yu Tian was bored and started chatting.

It will take at least more than twenty hours to get to Uicheng. If we don't chat, I might be suffocated to death.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, the little girl immediately burst into giggles.

She covered her mouth and said happily, "I don't know that. I think you are quite interesting, so I took a second look at you."

Yu Tian's expression just now was very complicated.

He thought a lot, sometimes laughing, sometimes sad.

He didn't realize it himself.

But he was completely captured by the little girl opposite.

In this era.

Cell phones, iPads, none at all.

People who go out by car, apart from reading newspapers and playing cards, chat with each other and kill time.

Hearing what the little girl said, Yu Tian also realized the changes he had just made.

He laughed awkwardly and said, "Haha, I'm sorry, I'm a student of Sichuan Opera, and I was studying face-changing just now."

Yu Tian's ability to make jokes is not weak.

Otherwise, Li Wanrou would not have been fooled in the first place.

After saying this, the little girl was stunned again.

But soon, she burst into laughter like silver bells again, giggling non-stop, like an optimist who would never be sad.

"Where are you going? By the way, my name is Li Ermei, and my family is from Xiaowa Village. What about you?"

She and Yu Tian got into the car together. Xiaowa Village was not far from Liushu Village, and Yu Tian had heard about it.

"My name is Yu Tian. I am from Liushu Village. I am going to Yicheng. Where are you going?"

Yu Tian introduced himself and asked about the little girl.

"me?"

Li Ermei looked out the window, "I'm going to Shencheng, my family asked me to work there. My cousin is in Shencheng, and he can make more money there than in our Shuangyang County."

Working in the 1980s meant working in a factory.

Generally, if someone in the family is doing well in other places, they will usually write back and ask their family members to make money as well.

That's the case with Li Ermei.

Her cousin works in a garment factory in Shenzhen.

This time I went to apply for a female worker.

"Deep City?"

Yu Tian nodded, "I know that place very well. If you have anything to ask, just ask me. I'll tell you everything I know."
