Sixteen-year-old Yu Shu went to work in a coastal city. She carried a large bag and a small bag with her compatriots to Hongbei City.
The green-skinned train was a mix of people, and she sat in the corner, surrounded by people. For the first time, she left her hometown and went thousands of miles away. The train passed through a long day and night and stopped in the first rays of the morning sun.
She followed her fellow countrymen and carefully surveyed the unfamiliar city. The county seat of my hometown is full of cyclists on the street, but everyone here drives a car, the buildings are built high, and the roads are lined with neatly trimmed plants.
Yu Shu blinked, as if she had fallen into an incredible world. The misty mist of the morning carried a hint of coldness, and she folded up her thin clothes, although there was some chill on her body, but the corners of her mouth hung a smile. The faint smile lined the ordinary face with a little more brilliance, like a lily with dew in the morning, which made people look happy.
The fellow said, "Just laugh like this, and your mouth should be sweeter, so don't offend people." Like our kind of restaurant, the network is the most important, for people to deal with the world must be exquisite. ”
Yu Shu blinked and said, "But I'm just a waiter." ”
The fellow nodded at Yu Shu's head with his index finger and said, "Haven't you heard that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier?" Waiters who don't want to open a hotel are certainly not good waiters. ”
Yu Shu nodded. Grandma said that when you go to work in your hometown's shop, you must be serious and careful, and don't go back to let people go back to the village to say ugly. The older generation always cares about reputation, and the people in the village have no secrets in the short period of time.
Because of her grandmother's words, although Yu Shu was the youngest in the store, she was also the most sincere in her work. But anyone who can fall into the benefits, even if it is a corner, those people will try their best to put it in their own pockets. But Yu Shu is different, if it is not her own, she will resolutely not take it, and the head shaft will not be able to turn.
Yu Shu won the favor of the boss, and was naturally rejected by other employees collectively. And because Yu Shu and the boss are fellow countrymen, everyone is afraid of making small moves behind her back, and they are guarding against her like thieves. Yu Shu naturally sensed it.
When she came out, her grandmother told her that she could retreat and take a step back from the sea and the sky, so Yu Shu, who was only sixteen years old, was particularly bold. Because she was crowded out of the staff dormitory and her life was inconvenient, she took the first month's salary and decisively rented a small single room. Tiny room just enough for the next bed and a wardrobe. Rao was like this, and Yu Shu also felt very satisfied.
1
Yu Shu goes to work at eight o'clock every morning and leaves at eight o'clock in the evening, and the rotation is continuous for twelve hours a day, and after she leaves work, someone will come to replace the shift. That year's Hongbei City, because of the sentence "Black cats and white cats, the one who can catch mice is a good cat" and became lively. Even if it is late at night, it is always singing and dancing.
The house that Yu Shu rented was close to the hotel, and it was only possible to walk through a small alley.
The alley was still shabby, with muddy trails and potholes, and a dim street lamp hanging from a telephone pole. When Yu Shu passed by here, she saw a person with his back against a telephone pole, and the dim street lamp shone on his face, making the bruises on his face more obvious. It was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.
The teenager struggled to stand up as he held on to the pole, and then a pair of soft but powerful hands supported his body that was about to fall down. The teenager twisted his eyebrows, and a face that had been beaten beyond recognition could faintly see the original outline. The facial features are deep, the eyes are deep and the nose is high - he is a very good-looking person.
"Do you need me to take you to the hospital?" Yu Shu stepped forward, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. At that time, the security was far worse than later, and there were hooligans everywhere who mixed up society. If she hadn't seen the factory uniform worn by the teenager, she wouldn't have dared to come forward.
The teenager shook his head and said, "No." I have no money, and the money on me has been robbed. ”
Yu Shu said, "I have money. Or I'll give you a cushion first, and then give it back to me when you have money. ”
The teenager looked at Yu Shu, hesitated, and finally nodded: "Then thank you." My name is He Ping, and I am a worker in the factory opposite. ”
"My name is Yu Shu and I work in a nearby restaurant. How did you end up being beaten like this? ”
"Offended the son of the factory supervisor." They wanted to blackmail me for money, and I wouldn't give it, so they beat me like this. He Ping spoke very calmly, as if he were talking about other people's things, and there was no wave in his eyes.
Yu Shu let out an "Oh" sound. She only knew after coming to Hongbei City, such a thing is not uncommon in this city, can not protect themselves, can only live like this.
A few days later, after He Ping's injuries were healed, he went to the place where Yu Shu worked. He borrowed money from his fellow villagers in the factory to repay the medicine money that Yu Shu had paid in advance, and had a meal in the restaurant by the way.
When he was eating, Yu Shu was cleaning the table next to him. He looked at her, and the movement of eating slowed down.
Obviously not a good-looking face. She had single eyelids, her face was very white, and her hair was tied into a neat ponytail, revealing a smooth and full forehead.
Such a face is very ordinary, but it makes He Ping firmly remember it. About that night, she had a kind look on her face, like a soft spring breeze.
2
He Ping came to look for Yu Shu more often, and every time he came back, he wore a dirty factory uniform and hid his handsome face in a stain. He sat in the corner and didn't talk, always eating and leaving. The colleague quietly said to Yu Shu: "I see that he looks at you every time he comes back to dinner, do he like you?" ”
Yu Shu was stunned, her face was hot, and she walked away with some embarrassment. Because her family was poor, she came out to work early and came into contact with too many people and things. Several girls as big as her have already begun to talk about in-laws, but Yu Shu is different.
She came from home to Hongbei City, and only brought a few sets of clothes to change, and the rest were all textbooks. The reason why she chose to rent a house outside, in addition to the exclusion of colleagues at the beginning, was because she still wanted to study.
Yu Shu is smart in reading and takes the first place every year. When she came to Hongbei City to work, the admission letter of the county no. 1 middle school had already been sent to her home. Her family was poor, with only an elderly grandmother, and she couldn't afford to pay for high school. Although Grandma is uncomfortable, she can't help it, she is too poor to open the pot, where there is spare money to study.
She was a person with an idea since she was a child, and when she came to Hongbei City, she borrowed the high school textbook of the neighbor's son, so she had a large stack of books and carried it all the way on her shoulders.
Every night at work in the restaurant, she would sit under the lamp and teach herself her homework. When you doze off, learn the method in the book, drink a mouthful of boiling hot water and burn your tongue to wake yourself up.
When He Ping came to the store to eat again, she stopped outside the store before he could enter. Yu Shu said, "Why do you always come here?" ”
He Ping rubbed his fingers, but he didn't speak, and a pair of eyes as deep as a pool of water looked at Yu Shu so fixedly, and after a while he slowly opened his mouth: "I'll come and eat." ”
"Don't come. Others come in groups, invite guests, but you always eat alone. You waste so much money. ”
"I have money." He Ping said hurriedly.
"Your money is hard money, you shouldn't spend it like this," Yu Shu said, "don't come, don't come in the future." ”
He Ping looked at Yu Shu's back in a daze, and it took a while before he eased up, and a sour feeling in his heart slowly surged up. He was eighteen years old and so poor that he was not even qualified to pursue girls.
He shouted behind Yu Shu's back: "Tomorrow my birthday, can you accompany me to celebrate my birthday?" ”
The person in front of him stopped, turned around, pondered for a moment, and finally gave a shallow "hmm."

He didn't know where he got a bicycle, it still looked half new, and when the bell rang, the sound was crisp and pleasant.
Yu Shu sat in the back seat, a little uneasy. The bicycle was shaky all the way, riding very unevenly, she grabbed He Ping's hem and asked, "Do you really want to ride a bicycle?" ”
He Ping struggled to maintain the balance of the bicycle, with a hint of tension in his voice: "Can ride, this thing is simple, I learned it in one night." ”
"Turns out you only learned it yesterday!" Yu Shu exclaimed.
He Ping said: "My father used to be a truck driver. I've been touching big trucks since I was four or five years old, and I've been running long distances with my dad since I was fourteen. I can even drive a van, and this bike can't overwhelm me. ”
"Then why don't you keep driving the van with your dad?"
"He died," He Ping said, "running long distances in the ice and snow, and there was a car accident." When the man fell out, he hit the tree stump. I was guarded by my dad's head, so I only had some skin trauma. Later, I followed my compatriots to Hongbei City to work. Why did you come to Hongbei City? ”
"They all say they can make money here." You're luckier than I am, at least you know who your mom and dad are. I was abandoned by my parents as soon as I was born, and later sent by the village chief to my grandmother's house who lost my son at an early age. Yu Shu was silent when she finished.
In this city, everyone carries their own secrets, or sadness or sadness, but life always has to go on.
The bicycle under him became more and more stable, and He Ping rode harder and harder. They were on the side of the spacious road, surrounded by the howling of the wind. On that day, the sun was just right, and the peach blossom trees on both sides of the street were blooming with dense peach blossoms, and the fragrance of peach blossoms spread slowly fermented in the air. When the wind blows, the petals fall and fall on their shoulders and hands.
Many years later, Yu Shu could not forget the scene at that time, so that later seeing similar scenes in the cinema felt like a world away.
He carried her to the seashore, where the sky was blue and a few seabirds flew by occasionally. The endless white waves of the sea rise, and the sound of the waves is finely poured into the ears. The sea breeze blows, mixed with the characteristic fishy smell of the sea.
"The sea is really big." Yu Shu was tired of playing, sitting on the sofa, lying flat, feeling the softness of the sand.
"Hmm. Are you coming for the first time? He Ping also lay down beside her. The sea is big, but they are very small, like a grain of sand in this sand, extremely fragile.
"Yeah, for the first time. Every time I take a vacation, I'm endorsing, writing exam papers, and spending all my energy on studying. The future is uncertain, but it is also desperate to struggle. Such a life, ah, sometimes think about it, I feel incredible. Why is it so bitter for people to live? ”
"Yeah, it's bitter." He Ping also felt bitter. When people in pain and people in pain are together, there will always be a little bit of pity for each other. Who in this world does not have a few sad past events?

Knowing that she loves to learn, He Ping will buy her a set of books or some examination papers every month for pay, and those books are genuine books, so that when he buys them, he can only nibble on vegetable steamed buns every month.
Sometimes he went to the place where Yu Shu worked, and sometimes he went to the alley where they first met and delivered books to her. After Yu Shu knew that those books were worth a lot, she said that she would not ask for anything. He Ping said, "You don't want it, I bought it too." I don't study, and these books are a pile of waste paper for me. ”
Yu Shu said, "Then I will return the money to you." ”
"Your salary is not as high as mine, and you can't even pay the rent after paying it back, so how can you study?" He Ping said, "When I am studying in the future, I will return the money to me, and then I will double it." ”
Yu Shu laughed and said, "It turns out that you are lending usury here with me." ”
Yu Shu often packed some food from the restaurant for him to eat. The staff of the restaurant also has more oil and water, and before she eats, she always has to even out her own portion of the meal a little, and wait for He Ping to eat it at night after work. Later, Yu Shu simply bought pots and pans and pulled a curtain in her small cubicle room as a place to cook.
Every time He Ping passed, he could always eat a bowl of hot noodles.
The two of them became more and more acquainted in this way. In this vast Hongbei City, it is like two small beasts snuggling together for warmth, both desperately trying to warm each other.
The typhoon night in Hongbei City came unexpectedly late one night. Outside, the wind was fierce, lightning and thunder, and the entire city of Hongbei city was baptized by heavy rain. After He Ping ate the noodles, he wanted to brave the rain to return to the staff dormitory, but he was unexpectedly pulled by Yu Shu. She said: "Don't go back, such a fierce typhoon, it is easy to have an accident." ”
"But..."
"Nothing, squeeze in, you can still put out two beds."
Yu Shu did not have extra quilts, but fortunately the ground was clean enough, so she laid the clothes she had prepared for the winter on the ground as a place to sleep.
It was just that the temperature dropped suddenly that night, and in the middle of the night, He Ping was frozen in the pile of clothes and shivered, and even his lips began to turn blue. He lay silently on the ground, his toes curled up together. I don't know how long later, a warm little hand suddenly touched his cold hand, and the frozen stiff fingers were wrapped in warmth, slowly regaining consciousness.
"The bed is big enough, let's go to half of it." Yu Shu's body moved in.
He Ping stood up slowly and lay down in the warm bed, with a little gap between them. Neither of them spoke again, only to hear the typhoon whistle outside the house.

He Ping's factory suddenly came to inspect the big leader. The supervisors and cadres in the factory are extremely warm, and they are crowded forward, like welcoming the big stars who walk the red carpet. The crowd surrounded the great leader, stammering and complimenting, for fear of neglecting the great leader. Even the workers selected for the drill were the most polite and spirited young men in the factory, He Ping stood at the front, and a group of workers were arranged like soldiers.
Xu was unlucky enough to pick the day of the inspection that day. Just after the typhoon, the open-air crane was already unstable, shaking and collapsing. The driver was hit on the spot, covered in blood.
The crowd was frightened and scattered, hurriedly dialed 120, and after making a call and settling the driver, the big leader suddenly said: "Who can still drive?" I will also have to rush to the field for a meeting in the afternoon. ”
He Ping walked out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice, "Report leader, I, I will." ”
The secretary of the great leader saw that he was young and asked, "How old are you?" ”
"Eighteen just turned."
"So small, do you have a driver's license?" The leader's secretary asked.
"Nothing... But yes, I, I grew up running long-distance buses with my dad, and I started touching cars at the age of four or five. "Being able to drive is He Ping's dream." He was born in the car and grew up in the car, and the car was his second home.
The big leader said, "This driver's license is learned again." This will not be late, you come and drive me. ”
He Ping drove, steady and fast. The big leader has the problem of motion sickness, and people with poor driving skills have already vomited a plastic bag when driving. He Ping was driving, and he was still in the car for a nap.
When the big leaders came out of the meeting, the mud marks on the car were wiped clean. He Ping respectfully stood by the car door, and the big leader smiled: "After learning the driver's license, come and drive me." ”
The more the big leader looked at He Ping, the more pleasing he was, the young man was clever, meticulous and diligent, and the car drove well. Because of such a good feeling, the big leader also gave the money for He Pingxue's driver's license by the way.
He drove the leader, and his monthly salary was one or two thousand yuan higher. He Ping told Yu Shu about this, and both of them were very excited, jumping and jumping in the rental house. Yu Shu looked at He Ping and smiled and said, "You have a bigger job than me, and you will have a big job in the future." ”
He Ping scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I'm just a driver, what can I do?" You are different, you are a reader, and you will definitely get ahead in the future. ”
"I'm a book reader, I didn't even enter the door of high school." Yu Shu said sadly, and there was a flash of loneliness in her eyes.
Teenagers have also begun to learn the word "love". That year, everyone watched TVB's Hong Kong dramas in the alleys, and Hong Kong people always liked to say a line: "Love is giving rather than possessing." "He doesn't know if it's love, he just wants to be nice to her.
He Ping said: "I will earn money, I will definitely let you go back to school." ”
Yu Shu said sullenly, "No, your money is saved by yourself." I'll save my own money for school. ”
"You'll be out of the house later, and you'll give it back to me twice."
None of them thought that in this cheap rental house of the small bungalow, the gears of fate would at some point begin to turn on different tracks.

He Ping drove well, and once the mayor came to inspect, he was in the car of the big leader. The mayor sat in the back seat and casually said: "Where are the boys, the car is driving well." ”
He Ping didn't remember this incident, but one day he was called to the office by the big leader. The big leader said, "Xiao He, are you interested in driving the mayor?" ”
He Ping was stunned, and when he looked at the big leader, his eyes were a little dazed, and it took half a day to come back to his senses: "You, you mean to drive the mayor?" ”
The times are gradually different, and the former gift society has gradually become a humane society. However, because of the mayor's casual words, the big leader took this matter to heart, and because of such a move, he completely changed the life trajectory of this ordinary teenager.
He drove the mayor, and he had more money on hand. It's just that the mayor will be more open, he is busier, and he has to go to training etiquette after work, so that the number of times he and Yu Shu meet is getting less and less.
Teenage boys eat well and grow fast. However, after just one year, He Ping was completely different from the thin and thin teenager before. Those eyes became deeper and the face became more cold. He wears a black suit and has a tall body like a big star coming out of TV.
The mayor's daughter, who attends Hongbei University, drove her home and stood at the school gate waiting for her to come out, with her back straight. Along the way, there are many female students looking here. That face, accented by famous cars and suits, became even more striking.
Shen Wanjun ran out like a bird, and in the distance she saw He Ping standing in the sun. She specifically asked her father to order this handsome driver to pick her up, just to give her boyfriend who didn't know how to do it a little color.
He Ping drove the car and was silent all the way. Shen Wanjun couldn't stand such a dull atmosphere, and took the initiative to say, "Your name is He Ping, where is it?" ”
He Ping said, "Shenyang people. ”
There was another moment of silence. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Shen Wanjun continued: "You seem to be about the same age as me, why don't you go to school?" ”
"The family is poor," He Ping paused for a moment, and Slowly spoke for a long time, "What are you college students studying?" ”
"I learn a lot, mainly depending on what you are interested in." Shen Wanjun probably didn't know that there were many people in this world doing things that they weren't interested in.
He Ping nodded, "Your school looks quite grand." ”
"Yes, but whether it is more famous or big and bigger," Shen Wanjun looked at him and said, "You want to go to college?" ”
"No, it's a friend of mine. She dropped out of school after graduating from the third year of junior high school, and has been self-taught ever since, but without teachers to help her, it has little effect. ”
Shen Wanjun listened to his sad tone, about that person is very important to him. Shen Wanjun opened her mouth: "In this way, my uncle teaches in the affiliated college entrance examination cram class of H University, and you can let your friend go to City A." However, the tuition fee is quite expensive, and it also costs money to eat and live, and those who go there to repeat their studies must also have good grades. You don't have to worry about networking, I'll just help you say it. ”
Such a good thing is like a pie smashed from the sky, right on your head. When He Ping told Yu Shu, she still couldn't believe it, and kept asking repeatedly: "Really?" Is this true? ”
He Ping was so happy to see her, and his heart was also happy. He said, "Really, really! It's more true than the pearls of the sea. ”
Yu Shu was happy for half a day, and her heart gradually became sad again. She sat on the edge of the bed, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes: "But what about tuition, the money I have saved now is far from enough." ”
When He Ping saw her like this, he took the initiative to open his mouth: "I will earn you tuition." I asked, my current salary is enough to cover your tuition. ”
But it is to make life a little harder, He Ping thought, in the past, squeezing vegetables and steamed buns was boiled in water to eat, and now it is the same. As long as Yu Shu can study, it doesn't matter if she is bitter.
"No, no, no, so much money..." Yu Shu wanted to say something, but was hugged by He Ping. He wrapped her tightly in his arms and said softly, "I'm willing to be nice to you." ”
Later, Yu Shu thought that it was probably the most beautiful love story she had ever heard in her life. In this strange city, in this impetuous society, there are people who are willing to say such things to her.
"I'm willing to be nice to you."
He Ping said, "You met me in the alley at that time and bought me medicine money, but you also thought that even if this money is not returned, it doesn't matter, right?" ”
At that time, Yu Shu had just come to Hongbei City, and there was no extra money in her hands. Rented a house, and sent money back to Grandma... A month later, it's just the little change in my pocket. When she met He Ping, she gave all the money to this beaten teenager, and she did not really expect him to pay him back. She just thought, this man is so pitiful, help him.
He Ping said: "Such an opportunity is not easy to come by, and if you miss it, there will be no more." Money can be earned again, but opportunities are not always available. ”
After a half silence, Yu Shu raised her head and said, "I, I will return the money to you." ”

She took the train to City A, and when she got there, she found a house to rent. The landlord is also a reader, knowing that she came from out of town to study, not only the rent is cheaper, but also takes extra care of Yu Shu in life.
Others read repeat classes to review, but Yu Shu came to learn new knowledge. She didn't learn everything she taught on her own, and the teachers downplayed it when they lectured. Fortunately, she was born to read, and she worked harder than others, and she always studied the new knowledge that the teacher had taught, and she always studied it deeply over and over again. Over time, the learning progress slowly followed.
After studying every night, Yu Shu still has to continue her studies. In the small room, there were all the test papers flying around, and they were all densely packed with handwriting. She had been lying on the table for so long that when she stood up, a sharp tingling sensation spread from her back to her whole body, and she snorted in pain, climbed into bed and covered herself with the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep without even crying.
Yu Shu often felt hungry. In order to save money, she always eats things that have little oil and water, and eats very little. When she was dizzy with hunger, she drank water desperately until her stomach was bulging and swollen, and then stopped, pretending that she had just eaten a meal of mountain and seafood.
He Ping drove from Hongbei City to See Yu Shu in A City, his eyes were red, his clean and sharp suit was wrinkled, and his face was bearded because he did not shave.
He was already so embarrassed, but when he saw her, she was even more embarrassed than he was.
Yu Shu sat in the corner of the garden, memorizing words while nibbling on a steamed bun with a pot of boiling water in her hand. Yu Shu finished nibbling on the steamed bun in her hand three times and two divisions, and after eating, her hand took out the second steamed bun from the rice bowl, but sniffed and put it back. Three meals a day, one squeezed vegetable steamed bun at a time, drink water before you are full, and drink until you are full.
He Ping lived a bitter life, she also lived a bitter life, and the happy days seemed to be out of reach forever.
He Ping walked over and looked down at Yu Shu, who was sitting on the edge of the flower bed. At that time, it was March, the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. The petals fell in pieces, some in her hair, some on her shoulders, just as he carried her through the peach-blossom-filled street that year.
Yu Shu saw that He Ping was a little surprised, stood up and asked, "How did you get here?" ”
"Let's see if you're doing well. Today is my birthday, accompany me to eat a bowl of noodles. He Ping looked at her, and those eyes were as deep as a blue sea.
Yu Shu then remembered that when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, it was his birthday. She looked at He Ping apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, this time is too busy, I'm all..."
"It doesn't matter, I just remember it."
He took her to a bowl of noodles, and both of them ate as if this bowl of noodles was some kind of earthly delicacy. After eating the noodles, He Ping put down his chopsticks and said, "I don't work as a driver anymore." ”
"Don't do it? What a shame to have such a good job! ”
"Drivers can't work for a lifetime either!" The mayor appreciated me, felt that I was honest and willing to do things, and wanted me to follow his old watch to do engineering. His old watch has just won the bid in Shashi and wants to build a thirty-kilometer-long highway. ”
Yu Shu thought, Shashi, the conditions must be even more bitter than now. She asked him, "When will that be done?" ”
"It's going to be a couple of years. When I'm done, I'm afraid you're about to graduate from college. ”
If they do this, it will be the end of winter. For such a long time, Yu Shu swam in the sea of questions every day, in addition to studying, she also began to write a diary, and the diary was written and written those boring things. But in the last paragraph of the diary, she would write in bold black pen - I don't know if he was doing well?
Yu Shu returned to her hometown to accompany her grandmother for the New Year. Grandma knew that she had saved money to go to City A to study, and she was happy for a long time, and whenever someone said, "My sister-in-law is a person who has a great career." ”
After Yu Shu finished the New Year at home, she bought a train ticket to Shashi. Shashi was so far away, more than forty hours by car, she was reluctant to buy a soft sleeper, only bought a ticket for a hard seat, and even her feet were puffy when she got off the train.
When He Ping went to pick her up, he brought a military coat with him. In the winter of Shashi, when it was more than thirty or forty degrees below zero, Yu Shu's hometown was in the south, and the clothes she wore were definitely not enough.
After Yu Shu saw He Ping, her heart was full of pain. He was much tanned, his skin rough, his lips chapped, and his hair knotted in a mess.
"It's bitter, here."
He Ping did not answer her words, but asked, "How did you get here?" ”
"I brought some beef and pickles made by my grandmother, afraid you wouldn't be doing well." You gave me all the money, what do you do yourself? ”
He Ping spent more and more money in Yu Shuka this year, and also helped her buy a mobile phone, and on average he would call her once a week. The most He Ping mentioned on the phone was to let her take care of herself, he earned money, and he didn't have to save money like before.
Yu Shu did not dare to spend money indiscriminately. She asked him, "Are you doing something serious, and how did you make so much money all at once?" ”
"Of course it's a serious thing, and you haven't seen it," He Ping said, "don't worry about it, little old lady." ”
"Then how are you doing?"
"Of course it's good."
He Ping said it well, but Yu Shu never believed it. The harsh environment of Shashi is well-known throughout the country, with yellow sand in the sky, a huge temperature difference between day and night, and a remote area, and even a decent building.
He Ping needless to say, Yu Shu also knew that the environment here was extremely harsh. She saw them living in simple tents. There was a shortage of water, and the drinking water in the water tank was so cold that it had to be broken with a hammer in order to get water. It's so hard to drink water, let alone build a road?
He Ping saw her expression that was about to cry, touched her head and smiled, "I am in charge, not as hard as you think." ”
In fact, the managers are even more hard, and at the end of the year, the workers ask for wages, and the project funds cannot be disbursed. He repeatedly pleaded for it, but it was rejected by the other party in four or two strokes. The project manager said: "I have never seen you so shafted in so many years of engineering, the brain is so unable to turn, and I still learn to do engineering, it is better to be a migrant worker to get some dead wages." ”
He knew at that time that people lived in this world, and it was far more important to learn to be a person than to learn to do things. Later, when he went to ask for a salary, he put forward all his savings over the years. He also borrowed a sum of money from the bank, so a large pile of money, a total of more than 100,000, and sent it out without blinking an eye, which made the workers' wages come to hand.
That year, he was just twenty years old, and the first thing he learned was how to be a man—how to be a man who stood firm in this society.
On the day that Yu Shu was sent back, He Ping said, "Don't come over in the future." ”
Yu Shu thought that he was afraid of his own hardships, and when she saw the slightly dodgy expression on his face, her heart felt like she had been cut by a blunt knife, and she was in pain. She asked, "Do you really not want me to come over?" ”
He Ping seemed to have realized the meaning of Yu Shu's words, pursed his lips, and did not speak. For a moment, both men fell silent. After a long time, Yu Shu said, "I will not come again in the future." ”

The more He Ping pays, the more the return will certainly be more. The money he had taken out was not long before it was multiplied into his pocket. He took the money and connections to win the bid, became a real big boss, and everywhere he went, someone would respectfully call out "Boss He".
But such an opportunity was exchanged for his whole life. He never said it, and Yu Shu didn't know either. The mayor is willing to let himself follow his old cousin to learn to do engineering, but only because of her daughter's "like".
The same are all people, but there is a difference between cloud and mud.
"You know, I can't have Wanjun marry a driver. You go and follow my old watch to do things, if you can make achievements, you will come back to marry Wanjun, and if you can't make achievements, get out of the egg as soon as possible! The mayor looked at him condescendingly, with both contempt and expectation in his eyes.
He Ping smiled, and after accompanying Shen Wanjun through the wide and narrow alleys and snack streets of Hongbei City, accompanying her on her birthday, laughing with her, and shedding tears, he finally exchanged a sentence of "like" from Shen Wanjun.
Over the years, every time he made a sum of money, he became more and more distant from the lover in his heart. He thought that when people live, they are constantly making all kinds of choices. He has no right to regret it.
He knew that he wasn't strong enough. The man who gave him the opportunity could lift him up or crush him like an ant.
He came back from Shashi, full of glory. Time flew by, and the poor boy who was poor suddenly became a real estate tycoon, the boss of a listed company with a net worth of hundreds of millions. Everyone said that he climbed up by climbing up the ladder of power and marrying the mayor, so he went all the way up.
After 2008, the housing prices in A City soared, and everyone began to rub their fists into real estate, including business rookie He Ping. With the mayor's east wind, he turned in the real estate pot full of pots.
The desire for power grew like a seed in his heart like crazy, and then slowly turned into a towering tree.
He gambled his whole life and finally lived at the top of the pyramid. He could be unscrupulously good to the girl, so much money, he could buy food, clothes, goods, and things he had not been able to desire before. It's really good to be like that, isn't it?
The mayor was very satisfied with the son-in-law he had cultivated by his own hands, and the honest young boy had become a cunning and profitable businessman under the infiltration of time.
He Ping's relationship with Shen Wanjun was never a secret. The two people often dress up together to attend various banquets and wander around various high-end clubs. The gossip media is always curious about this young rich businessman and follows the report again and again.
What so many people know, Yu Shu must also know.
Yu Shu finally got her wish and was admitted to H University, the institution where tens of millions of students in the country dream.
On the day she chose her major, she made a special phone call to He Ping. At that time, He Ping was drinking and chatting business with a cadre at the banquet.
He Ping drank some wine and entered a slightly drunk state. Yu Shu on the other end of the phone said, "Are you drinking?" ”
"Well, after drinking a little, what's the matter?"
Yu Shu that day was very different, and He Ping had a premonition that seemed to have an extremely strong bad premonition. But he couldn't say what it was, but he felt like he was stuck in a ball of cotton. ，
Yu Shu said: "I want to ask you, what major do you think I am suitable for?" ”
"Well, look at yourself. You can learn whatever you want," He Ping said, "you can easily get into the university and learn something that interests you." ”
"I want to choose Chinese, do you think it's okay?" Yu Shu has been interested in literature since before, but it is not easy to find a job in such a profession, compared to the popular majors now.
"Just like it."
"Well, you're right. I like it. Yu Shu finished speaking and hung up the phone.
He Pingwan did not expect that it was the last phone call that Yu Shu had made to him. When he called again, the other party's mobile phone number had become an empty number.
He went to her school to find someone, and Yu Shu was pulled to the car by him and asked, "Why did you change your number?" ”
"The money I owe you, I'll find a way to pay you back." You will still give all this to Miss Shen in the future. ”
"I, I didn't think about what to do with you, I was just worried that you wouldn't have a good time in college."
"I can work to earn tuition. My life has always been bad, and you don't know it. I'm used to it. ”

When Yu Shu learned of He Ping's marriage news from the Internet, she cried all night, slept in the dormitory, launched a high fever, and kept calling He Ping's name in a vague way.
After all, there is no going back.
Later, More and more students brought out by Yu Shu, and they became famous all over the world. She went abroad to teach Confucian courses to the Chinese, and the cost of a class was as high as ten thousand US dollars, but it was only a forty-five-minute course.
Yu Shu thought about it and felt that fate was really ridiculous. In the cheap rental house in Hongbei City, none of them thought that two young people who were so poor that they could not even eat enough, one would become the CEO of a listed company worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and the other would become a well-known Confucian professor at home and abroad.
When Yu Shu was seventy-three years old, lying on a British hospital bed, she suddenly collapsed during a lecture without warning. The crowd had to temporarily place her in a small hospital in the English countryside.
The peach blossoms outside the house were brightly blooming, and she looked at the peach blossom branches that had quietly peeked in from outside the window, and her heart was sour. Standing by her bedside were the students who followed her around lecturing.
Yu Shu pointed to the peach blossom branch and said, "The peach blossom is still smiling at the spring breeze." ”
The student heard the words and picked the peach blossom and placed it on her pillow. When she finally died, her face was smiling. The peach blossom branch accompanied her to sleep forever in a foreign land.
She was unmarried all her life, and her love was buried in the peach blossoms and spring breeze of that year. This secret, which has not been known for many years, has never been known.
