I went out and went downstairs, took a taxi, and arrived at the Food Yuan Hotel.
This restaurant cooks very good food, so business is quite good.
And now it is dinner time. There are many people coming to eat and the tables are already full.
Zhang Xian had reserved a seat in advance, otherwise Chen Xiaoyun would not have a seat at all if he came now.
"Xiaoyun, this!!" Zhang Xian waved to Chen Xiaoyun.
Chen Xiaoyun also saw Zhang Xian and walked over.
"Just the two of us?"
Chen Xiaoyun walked over and sat down and asked.
Zhang Xian is one of his friends in this city. They both came to work when they were 17 or 18 years old. They met on the construction site. They got along well and became friends.
Later, they changed jobs, and the two of them often got together.
Zhang Xian is now working as a real estate salesperson.
"Qin Ming is still on the way and will be there soon." Zhang Xian took a tea cup and poured a cup of tea for Chen Xiaoyun.
Qin Ming was a chef whom the two met later, and they had a good relationship with them.
"Why did you suddenly call us for a dinner party?" Chen Xiaoyun took the tea.
Zhang Xian glanced at Chen Xiaoyun. He didn't feel like he was fired at all.
"Not to mention that I heard that you were fired. I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it, so I asked you out for a few drinks."
"Haha, what's this?"
Chen Xiaoyun smiled lightly. His anger at being fired had long been dissipated by winning the grand prize.
He went out to work when he was seventeen, and now he is twenty-five. He has worked hard for eight years before he saved more than three hundred thousand.
A lottery ticket is directly worth his eight years of hard work. The feeling of loss and unwillingness after being fired has long been diluted.
"After all, you have worked hard in that company for six years, and finally saw a glimmer of hope. Now you are fired and kicked out. How can you be willing to do so?!" Zhang Xian looked at Chen Xiaoyun seriously.
I want to see from Chen Xiaoyun's face whether the other party really doesn't care, or whether he is suppressing and hiding himself.
"What can you do if you don't give in? A small middle-level person in a branch can be kicked out casually." Chen Xiaoyun said lightly.
Without academic qualifications, the company will not pay much attention to it. This is the disadvantage of not having academic qualifications.
Otherwise, even if the fat manager had connections, he would not dare to fire him directly.
"Hey, you're here quite early, Xiaoyun!" Qin Ming also arrived.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, why didn't you bring your girlfriend?" Chen Xiaoyun joked with a smile.
"She can't take leave from work. I have a day off today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come." Qin Ming said helplessly.
This is the helplessness of workers, who cannot easily ask for leave.
When everyone arrived, the food began to be served.
"Waiter, please change two bottles of Feimao." Chen Xiaoyun glanced at the wine on the table, and then asked the waiter to change the wine.
"Hey, hey, don't trick me, two bottles of Feimao, my monthly salary is almost gone." Zhang Xian said quickly.
Two bottles of Feimao cost about five thousand yuan.
"I'll treat you to this meal, don't argue with me." Chen Xiaoyun waved his hand.
He won 400,000 yuan today, and he was still not allowed to have a little luxury?
"All right!"
Zhang Xian saw that Chen Xiaoyun was serious, so he didn't say anything.
The three of them are all brothers, nothing else.
Two bottles of Feimao were replaced.
Chen Xiaoyun immediately opened a bottle: "Come and try it. In the past, we could only enjoy it when we accompany customers to eat. Today, we three brothers will try it ourselves and we will be happy."
Zhang Xian raised his wine glass and took a sip. The aroma of sauce was so rich that he couldn't help but sigh:
"Yes, you really get what you pay for. This cup costs hundreds of dollars. What you drink here is wine, and what you drink is money."
"That's not what rich people pay attention to." Qin Ming also took a sip and said.
"What are you talking about? Come on, let's go!" Chen Xiaoyun raised his glass.
The three of them bumped into each other and started chatting while eating.
"It's really hard to earn money now. That stupid boss, even if he doesn't give us a salary increase, actually wants to reduce our salary. I really have enough!" After a glass of wine, Qin Ming began to complain.
"Who says it's not the case? In the past two years, the number of people buying houses has also dropped significantly. Sometimes we can only get basic wages, alas!" Zhang Xian also looked sad.
All three of them have no academic qualifications and can only do this job without any prospects.
The only one who did better, Chen Xiaoyun, has now been fired.
Without education, background, or craftsmanship, it is extremely difficult to achieve prosperity.
As a worker, what can you do that is not tiring or painful? !
"Stop talking about this, let's eat food and drink." Chen Xiaoyun took a sip of wine and felt that such an expensive wine was still so spicy.
"Xiaoyun, what are your plans in the future?" Zhang Xian asked.
"What else can I do? I have been tired for these years and want to take a good rest."
He had forgotten how long it had been since he had a good rest.
Looking at Chen Xiaoyun, the two of them were not trying to persuade him.
"Then take a good rest!"
Indeed, they haven't had much rest since they met Chen Xiaoyun.
They also knew Chen Xiaoyun's life experience. His parents died in an accident when Chen Xiaoyun was young.
Chen Xiaoyun was brought up by his grandfather.
After Chen Xiaoyun's grandfather passed away, Chen Xiaoyun did not continue studying, but went out to work to support himself.
The three of them ate and drank, and after finishing two bottles of wine, all three of them were tipsy.
Chen Xiaoyun took the bill, and the three of them said goodbye and took a taxi back.
After returning to the rented house, Chen Xiaoyun lay down to sleep without even washing his feet.
…
I fell asleep naturally, and when I looked at the time, it was already past ten o'clock.
"Comfortable!"
Chen Xiaoyun stretched and felt more comfortable than ever before.
No need to rush to work early, no need to stay up late working on projects and planning.
"I haven't dreamed about grandpa for a long time. I actually dreamed about grandpa last night."
He dreamed of his grandfather, holding his hand and walking on the beach by the sea. The setting sun stretched their shadows very, very long.
"I haven't been back for eight years. Maybe I should go back and have a look." Chen Xiaoyun murmured to himself.
Once this thought comes together, it is no longer possible to contain it.
The feeling of missing my hometown came out directly.
Take out your mobile phone, start booking tickets, and leave as soon as you say it!
His hometown is a small town on the coast of Nanguang Province.
It is a beautiful seaside town with beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate.
I remember the golden sandy beach, the light blue water, and the pleasant sea breeze.
After making the decision, Chen Xiaoyun no longer hesitated and immediately called the landlord to inform him that he was going to check out and return to his hometown and would leave today.
The landlord just said that the deposit would be refunded after the inspection.
I packed all my luggage into packing boxes, but there wasn’t much to take with me.
He didn't even ask for a few sets of clothes or quilts that he changed frequently.
Computers and other home appliances were also sold in the second-hand market by Chen Xiaoyun.
The landlord is an aunt in her fifties who is very talkative.
After arriving, I took a look at the house and found that it was not dirty or damaged.
"Young man, are you going to stop coming back to your hometown? You don't want any more quilts." The landlady asked.
In fact, she still likes high-quality tenants like Chen Xiaoyun, and she won't make the house a mess.
"Go back to your hometown and live for a while, and we'll look at it later." Chen Xiaoyun replied.
The landlady didn't say anything and returned the deposit to Chen Xiaoyun.
…
Carrying his suitcase and backpack, Chen Xiaoyun left the city where he had worked hard for eight years.
In the car, Chen Xiaoyun sent a message to Zhang Xian and Qin Ming, saying that he had returned to his hometown.
The two of them didn't say anything to persuade them to stay, they just expressed their respect to each other.
The train only went as far as the county. When it arrived in Dongning County (the place name is purely fictitious), a familiar smell hit my face.
To get to the coastal town, which is the name of Chen Xiaoyun's hometown, the only option is to take a shuttle bus.
After taking the shuttle bus and getting off in the town, there are still two or three kilometers to go to Chenjiacun.
"Master, take me to Chenjiacun."
Chen Xiaoyun took another tricycle and took him to Murakami.
Chenjiacun is right by the sea.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar village in front of him, Chen Xiaoyun stopped and did not dare to go forward for a long time.
Feeling timid near home! !
This small village holds so many good and bad memories for him.
I haven’t been back for eight years, and all the villages have been paved with cement roads.
The small two- and three-story Western-style buildings show the changes in the village over the years.
Chen Xiaoyun dragged his suitcase and walked along the cement road.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and there were not many people in the village seen on the road.
Arriving at the east end of the village, a two-story building stood there with mottled walls.
There is also a tall lychee tree in the yard. The lychees on the tree are still small, only the size of a small fingernail.
This is Chen Xiaoyun's home, his roots are here.
