"Mom, this, this is the south?"
After banging on the green train for two days and two nights, the whole person was almost broken up, and the mother and daughter finally arrived at their destination.
Zhao Xiaoya, who was only seven years old, was very tired and sleepy.
When she walks, her feet are a little weak.
However, when she got out of the railway station and came to a beautiful and novel world she had never seen before, Zhao Xiaoya's fatigue and hardship were swept away.
She stared at the traffic and tall buildings around her.
God, this, this is the south.
It's so clean and beautiful. There are a lot of people and cars.
And those buildings. They're so tall.
Zhao Xiaoya raised her head and felt that her neck was about to break, but she hadn't seen the top of the building.
"Yes, this is Shenzhen!"
After two days and two nights on the train, he Tiantian, who has a powerful soul, can't stand it.
Because she not only has to endure the difficult journey, but also always looks at the child with one eye open.
In addition, she did not let go of the human traffickers, swindlers and some petty thieves hidden in the train carriage.
He Tiantian keeps silent and determines that the other party is an outlaw, so she stealthily runs to the traffic police to report.
Of course, in order to appease or obtain useful information, he Tiantian will make a false deal with these people.
The most direct result is that he Tiantian's "Ma Jiu's gambling" has got the opportunity to become powerful again and again.
And there were hundreds of dollars more in her pocket.
"... I've got room and board in Shenzhen!"
He Tiantian secretly thought, searching for the target more and more diligently.
And her efficiency is also very high. In just two or three days, she almost swept away the traffickers, swindlers and thieves in several carriages.
The police have a dreamy feeling: "these bastards are getting together? Why did they catch so many on one bus?"
Every time he Tiantian goes to report, she changes her outfit slightly. In addition, she will also hint others to call the police. Therefore, don't look, because she caught more than ten people, but the traffic police didn't find anything unusual.
He Tiantian holds a bulging purse and doesn't fight for any reputation. Instead, he Tiantian takes his children with him to get out of the car.
When she came to the prosperous Shenzhen market, Zhao Xiaoya was completely dazzled.
Her small and simple world has also been greatly impacted.
The people around were wearing all kinds of beautiful and trendy clothes. They said what they didn't understand... What impressed Zhao Xiaoya most was the confidence and pride on those faces.
They live a rich life, they have hope and future, they are full of passion, they seek dreams.
Passion, confidence and publicity!
Zhao Xiaoya has never read a book and can't use appropriate language to describe her mood.
All her feelings turned into a sentence: "Mom, it's nice here!"
The heavenly palace mentioned in the village grandma's story is about the world in front of us.
Zhao Xiaoya's black and thin face showed a surging light, and a huge door opened slowly in front of her.
Her black and bright eyes became brighter.
"No matter how good it is, it's not our home!"
He Tiantian pretended to be impatient and said, "OK, let's find a place to settle down and inquire about your sister's whereabouts."
"By the way, we have to find a way to send a message to your family and tell your father that we have successfully arrived in Shenzhen!"
He Tiantian took Zhao Xiaoya's arm and tried to squeeze out the crowd. She bypassed the soliciting drivers or hotel owners at the gate of the station and ran out of several streets directly. There was less panic noise around.
"Mom, we can call home!"
After coming out, Zhao Xiaoya really made a lot of progress. She actually knew to call.
Also, there are a lot of people coming and going on the train, and there are mobile phones in this era, but they are relatively large, a small screen, or flip, or straight board.
Zhao Xiaoya followed her mother to "wander" in various carriages. She should also see someone calling or showing off with a Hanxian BB machine.
Her little head was filled with many new things.
In the gossip of passengers, Zhao Xiaoya also knows some truth.
For example, when you go far and arrive at your destination, you should contact your family so that they can rest assured.
I used to send telegrams. Now, call home.
Zhaojiawa is really poor. It was only two years ago that the electricity was connected.
However, in the village committee, there is a telephone, which is usually locked in a wooden box made by the village head.
Unless there is a notice in the county or town, or the village cadres call, they take the key to open it.
"Yo? Our little girl is capable. She knows how to call!"
He Tiantian smiled and praised Zhao Xiaoya.
Zhao Xiaoya pursed her mouth shyly. She didn't speak, but her heart was very happy.
At the age of seven, in her limited memory, her parents never seemed to praise her.
No matter how hard she works and how sensible she is, she won't get a compliment.
On the contrary, my mother sometimes frowns when she sees her and says from time to time, "what's the use of being able? Being able is also a loser!"
Lose money!
Yes, she is the money losing goods in the eyes of her parents and the girl film in the mouth of the villagers.
And sister, ye Nai, parents, they all dislike it.
All along, Zhao Xiaoya didn't understand. How did she and her sister become losers?
Take my sister for example. This time, my mother handed her over to Aunt Hua and immediately returned two thousand yuan.
The cousin of the uncle's family was engaged last month, and the bride price alone cost 3000.
It's said that the woman's family also wants to build a new house and let her cousin buy a building in the town, even if she doesn't live.
It is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands.
... who is losing money?
You know, when her sister was 15 years old, she went to primary school for two years, which was still free.
I usually pay three yuan for tuition and miscellaneous expenses, and then spend a few cents to buy a pencil book.
Two years together, I didn't spend 50 yuan.
As for my cousin, after graduating from junior high school and failing to go to technical secondary school or high school, my uncle asked him to go to a technical school.
The tuition fee is more than 1000 a year. What else are the accommodation and living expenses.
Anyway, my cousin went to technical school for two years. I don't know whether he learned technology, but the money spent is not old or young.
Of course, it doesn't mean that my cousin didn't get anything from school. Isn't his daughter-in-law a classmate of the technical school?
Or free love.
However, when love belongs to love, asking for bride price, wedding room and three gold, other girls are not vague at all.
Uncle and aunt are so worried that their hair is white. They came to borrow money from her father a few days ago.
Tut!
Zhao Xiaoya doesn't think her uncle shouldn't borrow money from home.
But I think that uncle must have borrowed all the people he knows, but he hasn't borrowed enough. There's really no other way to come to her house!
Because everyone in the village knows that her father Zhao Baozhu is a loser.
More than half of the people in the village have built new brick houses. As far as their family is concerned, they still live in two yellow mud houses given when they separated.
The capable uncle seldom goes to their house.
But this time he hardened his head, which showed that uncle was really desperate.
Just because a son was getting married, the proud uncle also began to smile at her worthless and useless father.
Tut tut!
Zhao Xiaoya felt that her cousin was a big loser!
From small to large, these people are nearly twenty. They only see him spend money like running water, but they don't get a penny back to their family!
... the topic was far away, and Zhao Xiaoya quickly restrained her mind.
She pursed her small mouth and filled her big eyes with surprises: my mother praised me today!
This feeling of being recognized and praised is very good!
He Tiantian deliberately pretends not to see Zhao Xiaoya's joy and continues to look around.
She found a small supermarket on the side of the road, where there was a public telephone and she could make domestic long-distance calls.
He Tiantian tightened the child's hand and his body was stiff. It seemed that he had summoned up a lot of courage before he asked the boss in plastic Mandarin with a strong hometown voice: "comrade, I, I want to make a phone call!"
"It's thirty cents a minute for a long trip." the boss didn't joke about he Tiantian, because he saw so many rustic foreigners.
"So expensive? It costs 30 cents to make a phone call?" he Tiantian deliberately pretended to make a fuss.
The boss shrugged and said nothing more.
The price is such a price, love to fight or not!
He Tiantian put on a hesitant look and took out a crumpled one dollar bill from her pocket for a long time.
"Those from other provinces should take the area code. Don't make a mistake!"
The boss has rich experience. He Tiantian took out a note with a phone number from her pocket and kindly reminded him.
"Ah? What area code?" he Tiantian pretends to be silly again.
The boss sighed and asked, "where are you from?"
"My family is Zhao family in Rose Town, Furong County, city B, province a -" he Tiantian honestly reported the detailed address.
"OK, OK, just know which city it is." the boss quickly waved his hand.
He felt that if he didn't stop, the village woman would carefully say which street he lived in.
The boss checked the address book given by the telephone company and pointed to the column of city B, province a, "here, this is the area code!"
He Tiantian finally dialed the phone according to the boss's instructions.
When the voice of the village head came out of the microphone, he Tiantian shouted at the microphone like a first-time caller——
"Uncle, it's me from Zhao Baozhu's family. I've arrived in Shenzhen with my children!"
"Yes! Yes, yes, we're looking for a big girl in Shenzhen!"
"Later, you go and tell the head of our family that we'll go back when we find a big girl and let him not worry!"
"... what? Uncle, what are you talking about? Little widow? What little widow? Oh, uncle, I can't hear clearly! Oh, uncle, I can't say any more. It's thirty cents a minute!"
He Tiantian deliberately pretended not to hear clearly. After saying this, she hung up in a hurry.
She uses her native dialect, but the accent of northerners is basically close to Mandarin.
Therefore, the boss overheard two sentences and understood them.
When he gave he Tiantian change, he asked, "elder sister, are you looking for someone in Shenzhen?"
"Yes, comrade, my daughter and I come to Shenzhen to work with my aunt in the village. They say they can make a lot of money by doing hair for people!"
He Tiantian still has a simple appearance. When people ask, she speaks out regardless of whether she knows it or not.
"However, my daughter is only 15 this year. I regret it when she left!"
"Besides, the aunt who recruited workers has a bad reputation with us. I'm afraid --"
In fact, when he Tiantian said the words "do hair", the boss's eyes became a little strange.
Obviously, as a person living in Shenzhen, he certainly knows what the so-called "hair salon" is.
What do you do for hair? That's a dirty prostitute.
When he Tiantian said "the girl is only fifteen", the boss couldn't help showing mercy on his face.
Fifteen years old, that, that is still a child.
Although in this age, everything is looking at money.
Especially in their deep market, money seems to become particularly important.
However, normal people still keep the minimum bottom line.
The boss blinked, looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you a place. There are many hair salons there. Maybe your daughter is there!"
With these words, the boss looked up and recovered his lazy appearance of ignoring everything.
He Tiantian was stunned for a while. It seemed that she didn't react for a long time. She quickly thanked her desperately: "thank you, thank you, comrade!"
The boss had a toothache and reminded he Tiantian, "when you come to Shenzhen, don't call people comrades, call the boss."
"... hey, good, thank you, boss!"
He Tiantian pretends to be smart and quickly changes her mouth.
Then, she took Zhao Xiaoya and looked all the way according to the address secretly told by her boss.
In fact, he Tiantian knows the specific address. She even knows the foothold of aunt Hua in Shenzhen.
Even if there is no plot reminder, he Tiantian can search through little D.
However, there is a Zhao Xiaoya around me.
She can't let anyone set her up, let alone let Zhao Xiaoya doubt.
Moreover, the most important thing is that he Tiantian wants Zhao Xiaoya to see with her own eyes how she, a mother, has gone through all the hardships to find Zhao Daniu.
Yes, this is the main reason why he Tiantian took Zhao Xiaoya with her.
Don't worry about leaving the child to a villain's father and want the female owner to see the world in advance. These are also the factors he Tiantian thought of.
But, more importantly, he Tiantian is still for her own task.
Therefore, the young Zhao Xiaoya saw with her own eyes that her mother, in order to find her sister, lost her smiling face all the way, and was despised and looked down upon from time to time.
For a month, my mother spent a month looking for a place where she was unfamiliar in Shenzhen.
His voice was hoarse, and the thin man became a skeleton.
From head to toe as like as two peas on the street, it is dirty.
Mother herself was reluctant to eat and flowers, but she didn't wronged her.
After "wandering" in Shenzhen for a month, Zhao Xiaoya actually gained weight, and there was some meat on her shriveled little face.
Zhao Xiaoya:
In her heart, mother is no longer a bad mother who treats her own daughter badly, but the best and greatest mother in the world!
