The footsteps of the Spring Festival have just passed, and thirty-one-year-old Li Xin has gone out to work with a package on her back.
The mother-in-law and her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter stood on the side of the national highway, watching Li Xin get on the bus to the city, when the car door suddenly closed, the daughter suddenly cried loudly, Li Xin looked at her daughter's appearance, her heart ached to the extreme. But there was no way, life forced her to go out.
She held back tears and bit her lower lip to close the curtains of the bus fiercely, and then closed her eyes alone, her heart beating rapidly, and her mind was full of images of her daughter crying.
The bus suddenly started and began to accelerate towards the provincial road, and at this time Li Xin's tears could no longer be controlled, and she let the tears rush out.
For six hours, the bus finally approached the city, and Li Xin looked at everything outside, and she muttered in pain: "We must earn more money and mail it back."
As soon as she left the station carrying her package, several men and women shouted at her, "Take the train?" Where to go, hey, talk. "
Li Xin did not pay attention to these people, she lowered her head and continued to walk forward, when she came to a crossroads, she suddenly did not know where to go, she pulled her hair together and muttered, "How the city looks the same."
At this time, a red tricycle stopped next to her, and the middle-aged man shouted in non-standard Mandarin: "Where to go?" I'll send you. "
Li Xin looked at her and said calmly, "Go to Wangyue Village."
After the middle-aged man listened, he blurted out, "Give fifteen dollars."
Li Xin said, "Give you ten pieces."
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Ten pieces is ten pieces, recently the city management has been strictly investigated, and the business is not very good."
The middle-aged man shuttled quickly through the night, he slammed on the brakes from time to time, and when Li Xin got out of the car, she felt that the whole person was dizzy.
She looked up at Yue Village, where the houses were of different heights, some four-story and some five-story, and she walked over to a small shop and pulled out from her pocket a phone number written crookedly in a cigarette paper box.
She took the phone out of her pocket and dialed it.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, and a voice that had just woken up came from inside: "Hey, who?"
Li Xin said with some excitement, "Meng Lin, I am Li Xin."
Meng Lin asked, "Ah, Li Xin, where are you?"
"I'm in Wangyue Village, where you live."
Meng Lin said, "Wait a minute, I'll go down and pick you up."
Meng Lin wore a down jacket and high heels, running fast in the narrow alley.
Meng Lin hugged Li Xin tightly in her arms and said, "Meng Xin, the two of us haven't seen each other in years."
Li Xin said somewhat restrainedly, "But isn't it? It's been five or six years. "
Meng Lin helped Li Xin carry the package and said, "I heard that you are married, and you will not say a word to me when you say that you are married, no matter what, the two of us are also classmates."
Li Xin said: "Hey, don't mention the marriage thing, since getting married, the family is in a mess." The child's father had a car accident last year, and he is still lying at home, so I want to make some money. "
After listening, Meng Lin said, "Okay, stay with me first, you have to find a job slowly, the current job is too difficult to find."
At ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Lin began to stand in front of a small mirror and seriously paint heavy makeup, and Li Xin said with some envy: "Are you ready to go out to find a boyfriend?"
Meng Lin drew her eyebrows and said, "If you have a boyfriend, I'm going to go to work."
"Where do you work now?" Li Xin asked.
"Nightclub." Meng Lin replied.
When she finished saying these three words, Meng Lin suddenly felt Li Xin's silence, she looked back at Li Xin, and then said: "Hey, I also have no way, my parents are not in good health, and I want to provide for my brother to go to college, so I went to work in this kind of place, in order to earn more money."
Meng Lin glanced at her watch and said to Li Xin, "I have to leave quickly, I will be late in a moment."
The door was slammed shut, leaving Li Xin alone in this room of less than twenty square meters, lying on the bed planning to go out tomorrow to find a job...
She spent all day looking for a job in this strange city, but she never had the right opportunity. One evening, she returned home lost.
Suddenly she thought of her child again, she dialed the phone at home, and as soon as the phone was answered, the child's cry came from inside.
The mother-in-law said helplessly: "The child's milk powder is gone, and there is no money to buy it."
After chatting intermittently for a few minutes, Li Xin hung up the phone, and her mood was extremely bad.
Walking on the uneven streets and looking at the crowds coming and going, Li Xin suddenly felt his own smallness. However, she has to make herself strong, because the family needs money urgently.
When she opened the door of the rental house, Meng Lin was putting on makeup again, and Meng Lin smiled and said, "How is the job search?"
Li Xin said awkwardly, "I still haven't found the right one."
Meng Lin comforted: "It's okay, you slowly look for it, I can live here as long as you want."
Li Xin thought about it and said, "The family is in a hurry to use the money."
Meng Lin took out a thousand yuan from her backpack and handed it to Li Xin, then said, "You take and use this money first."
After Meng Lin finished speaking, she bent down and prepared to wear high heels. At this time, Li Xin said, "Let me go to work with you!"
After Meng Lin listened, she hesitated for a moment, and she looked up at Li Xin: "You, you can't go, the men there don't have a good thing."
Li Xin walked up to Meng Lin and said, "I don't have any other way, now the child doesn't even have the money to buy milk powder."
The two men were left in tears at the same time.
Meng Lin turned around and took out a slim dress from the simple wardrobe and found a pair of red high heels.
When Li Xin changed in, Meng Lin suddenly smiled, and she said to Li Xin, "You still look good in it."
The two of them walked out of the rental house, and the sound of high heels resounded throughout the urban village in the darkness...
