Lu Yongqiang came back from the Dongshi construction site to celebrate the New Year. When he entered the village, he saw a white paper posted on the door of his house - his brother and sister-in-law were gone, leaving him with only a one-year-old baby.
When the baby cries, he cries too. He must still be alive at dawn.
In the next village, Shen Maisui was chopping pig food, and heard his grandma negotiating the price: Mr. Wu would pay three thousand, and he would pass on the sixth day of the lunar month. Her parents went to work in Shenzhen City and there was no news for three years. Maisui ran to a neighboring village to look for her grandma. The lights at her grandma's house were dark and she went to have an engagement drink.
There was heavy snow in the sky, and Maisui huddled in the corner, unconscious.
Yongqiang took the feverish baby to look for the doctor. Passing by the Tutu Temple, he saw someone huddled in the corner. When he found that he was still alive, he unwrapped his cotton-padded jacket and wrapped it around him.
Maisui woke up, looked at the man busy taking care of the baby, and asked, "Do you want a wife in your family?"
Yongqiang was stunned. After hearing about Maisui, Yongqiang told about his brother and sister-in-law, saying that he would have to go to the south to work in the spring.
"I will go to the south with you," Maisui looked at him, "take care of the children and cook. You marry me without any gift."
Yongqiang nodded: "Okay. Then we are husband and wife."
Get the certificate the next day. The two families came to make trouble, but Yongqiang beat them out with a pole.
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, a green train headed to Shenzhen City. The carriage was crowded with people returning home, but they were the only ones going in the opposite direction. An'an sleeps peacefully in Maisui's arms, and Maisui rests on Yongqiang's shoulder.
The train rumbled south, the snow turned to rain, and there was green outside the window.
Maisui whispered: "It's so beautiful." Yongqiang said: "We will live there from now on."
From the eight-square-meter iron house to "Xiangbei Restaurant" becoming a time-honored brand, more than ten years later, someone asked Maisui where his home was. She looked at her husband and children and smiled: "Wherever they are, it is home."
The green leather train heading south carried two desperate people to spring.
Reader comments
A story written in the 1990s. Most people in that era were very simple. The simplicity of an ordinary couple moving from the countryside to the city to take root is very real! It's just that the emotional lines are a bit lacking. Many things are mentioned briefly in the text, but it feels like there is not enough to read. In fact, for this type of book, one million words can be just right. Not too much and not too little! Overall, this book is a good book that basically restores the simplicity of that era! The only drawback is that there are too few words to read.
Recommended by a bookworm of more than ten years! I read more than 3 chapters in one go and couldn't help but comment. This book is very strange. It is the most real life struggle of two people. It does not have those mindless plots, but it will bring upward energy.
This is the first time I have read a book on Tomato for a long time. I gave it full marks very solemnly and sincerely. The characters are very full-bodied and the emotions are real and simple. I have read a lot of interesting articles, and suddenly my eyes filled with tears when I saw such simple words, it is like real life. I feel like it is no longer an ordinary online novel, but a work of documentary literature. I highly recommend this novel. It will really give you a sense of strength after reading it. It is applicable to ordinary people in any situation.
The abuse started, and my parents came to my door asking for money, which made me angry😡
For the sake of my own health, I decided to put down [face covering]
Some sisters said it looked like it was written by AI, probably because many paragraphs contain repeated or similar words. There are also some unreasonable things, such as spending one yuan to buy An An a cloth tiger, but An An always only plays with the cloth bag; for example, An An is almost two years old and is not very fluent in talking and walking...
Will the land at home be lost to the village or relatives?
Although I am not from the countryside, I often go to the countryside and know something about it.
At that time, even if you can't get a little money, you can get some food or something.
In fact, they are two ordinary people who choose to live together because of the pressure of life. It is also a love story of many older generations. Come on, author, I am optimistic about you!
It's pretty cool. I will continue to support it.
It's a very interesting book. The content is real, vivid and tactile. I have the desire to read the book. I really like it [adoration][adoration][adoration]
It is a very heart-warming novel. The male and female protagonists are kind, simple, positive and love life. Two poor children from the countryside, young and responsible, moved from the north to the cities in the south, and gradually took root in the city bit by bit. It's so good that I didn't want to sleep while watching it at night.
The content outline is OK, but it is an AL text.
I couldn't stop reading this book, but some details were not written well. A Fang originally had a husband and children but later became single. There are also some words that the author likes to repeat: Mom, silent appeared at least 5 times. Overall, it's pretty good. I can read it. The first time I shed tears of sympathy in this book was when An An cried, and Yong Qiang also cried there.
Haha, the Shenzhen city you are talking about is where I live now. My two children are studying in public schools here, and they work part-time jobs when they are free on weekends. It is so difficult in Shenzhen now. I have worked for nothing in ten years [cover face] [cover face]
It's pretty good-looking, but this baby was said to be a girl in the early stage. Why did it turn into a boy within a few chapters, and then it disappeared in 2000?
A very good piece of literature! It is not comparable to ordinary online novels, and it is not on the same level as them.
It looks good. The author's writing is very good. The male and female protagonists are well portrayed. Come on.
It feels a bit like it was written by AI.
Wheat ears are so bitter, a pair of miserable people, they will become stronger in the future!
What follows the statement? It is a personal story, written in a very deep and weighty way.
It's super beautiful. I hope everyone can read it and support the author.
It's really good. Quite touching.
It's beautiful and very emotional. I cried several times while watching it.
It's really good, not too big, but very warm and comfortable. I can feel the hard work and inner satisfaction of Mai Sui and Yong Qiang! Great article! Great article!
The writing is simple and the protagonist strives for self-improvement, giving people the feeling of being in the book. Come on, author.
It's quite interesting to see the real life of rural people in that era and the portrayal of them working hard to make money.
It's good-looking, although the details are not that good, but the content is very exciting based on the time in the novel.
It looks so good. It must be given a five-star rating.
Don't be afraid of hard work, just take it one step at a time and be down-to-earth. It's great.
I haven't seen such a good book on Tomato for a long time!
It's pretty good, I felt very calm after watching it, but there are a lot of repetitions in the content, just like copying and pasting.
I haven't finished reading it yet, but the writing is really delicate, keep up the good work
