Reborn since 2005

Chapter 372 Lulu
On September 9, after breakfast, Ai Lili drove Yan Xin to the train station, and then went back to work.

Yan Xin was pulling a suitcase and carrying a backpack, which contained not a change of clothes, but gifts that Ai Lili helped him buy.

The suitcase is not full, and there is still some space, which is room for buying cigarettes and alcohol later.

After getting into the car and putting away all the luggage, Yan Xin sent a message to Ai Lili, saying that he had already got in the car.

I sent another message to Feng Xi, with the same content, no need to retype, just copy and paste.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is not a statutory holiday now, and Feng Xi is not planning to go home for the holiday, and she is not even planning to go home for the National Day holiday.

Yan Xin asked her what she meant, and knowing that she would not go home for the holidays, she felt inexplicably relieved.

He still doesn't want his hometown to know about him and Feng Xi.

It seemed that Feng Xi didn't want to know about it either—after all, she was only a freshman, and she was about to fall in love just after being admitted to Capital University.

After both parties reported their whereabouts, Yan Xin called his father and told him that he had already boarded the train home and would be home in the evening.

Dad Yan asked if he would like to leave a meal for him, and Yan Xin said that he could stay, and he should be able to come back for dinner.

A few days ago, he told his dad that he would go back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his dad worriedly asked if going home so frequently would make his boss unhappy. Yan Xin could only tell him that the boss was a very The humane person gave all the employees of the company a holiday, just to let everyone reunite with their families during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In this way, Dad Yan didn't say much.

Yan Xin bought a sleeper ticket and arrived at the station after [-] pm.

The migrant workers in their village generally don't buy daytime tickets. The main reason is that when they arrive at the station at this time, there is no shuttle bus back to the village, so they can only stay in the city or county.

That costs a little too much.

Or just arrive at the station and take a taxi home.

But from the city to the village, it takes one or two hundred miles, and the toll is quite high.

At this time, most migrant workers only earn tens of dollars a day for more than ten hours, and many even earn less than 50 yuan. They are not willing to spend so much money to save this time.

For migrant workers, time is not that valuable.

So the general choice is to buy an evening ticket, sleep in the car overnight, and when the train arrives in the morning, you can take the bus back to the county, and then transfer back to the village.

And generally choose a hard seat.

They all know that sleeper berths are more comfortable, but the price difference between sleeper berths and hard seats is too great. They would rather suffer for one night and save tens of dollars.

Of course Yan Xin doesn't need to worry about those.

It's a pity that there is no high-speed rail now, and there is no airport in his hometown city. It is too far to drive by himself, and there are many inconveniences. Taking the train home is already the most convenient choice, and he can only choose this way.

After a few years, the high-speed rail will be opened, and it will be convenient to go home.

After more than ten years, there will be an airport in my hometown city, so there will be more choices. Although more than ten years later, the airport in my hometown city will only have such a limited number of flights, and I can't fly large planes, but At least one more choice.

Now I can only travel in such an inconvenient way.

Sitting on a sleeper during the day is not tiring, you can lie down easily, sleep when you want to sleep, play with your mobile phone when you want to sleep, and when you don’t want to sleep or play with your mobile phone, you can also look at the scenery outside the car window and eat some snacks by the way , have some drinks.

Yan Xin has sat in a sleeper berth many times, and the road is actually quite comfortable.

This time he still chose the lower berth. Opposite him was a young girl who also went home for the holidays. After getting in the car, she started chattering on the phone and made several calls in a row.

Calling parents again, calling friends again.

It's not over until the battery dies, then replace it with a battery.

——In this era, mobile phone batteries are detachable. In the era when there is no battery life, it is standard to bring a universal charger and a few batteries when you go out.

Yan Xin is similar. Although he didn't bring a universal charger, he did bring two spare batteries because he was afraid that the batteries would not be enough on the road.

When the girl across the street was on the phone, he took out his newly bought Nokia N95 and went online for a while, and even took a few pictures outside the car window.

After the girl saw his mobile phone, she looked at him twice more.

After a while, Yan Xin heard the girl whispering to her friend: "There is a handsome guy sitting opposite me, and the mobile phone he is holding is still an n95, so dazzling!"

Yan Xin was surfing Xingguang.com, and when he heard this, he didn't even raise his eyelids, appearing indifferent.

But I am still very happy in my heart.

It is a very happy thing for a girl to say that she is a handsome guy.

I thought to myself: "Maybe she's right, I'm really a handsome guy, otherwise why would I be so attractive?"

Ai Lili likes it, Feng Xi likes it, and even Xiao Shiyu likes it.

He doesn't know if there are hidden girls who like him, maybe there are some.

That counts as a bit attractive.

In the past, he thought it was because he was rich, but now he heard what the girl opposite him said, and suddenly realized:
"It turns out that what I attract to others is not only wealth, but also appearance."

Greatly satisfied my vanity.

After the girl finished the call, she changed the battery of the phone and turned it on again.

But no more calls.

One battery was consumed just after getting on the train. If we continue to do this, I am afraid that the spare battery will be used up before we get off the train.

Her mobile phone looks a bit old, and the screen is also small. Yan Xin reckons it should be [-] inches.

I took a look at the brand of the mobile phone, and it was very strange. It should be a knockoff brand, and it was not well-known among the knockoff brands.

Nowadays, there are many counterfeit mobile phone brands in China, and all kinds of black technologies above the sky are advertised, but in fact they are a mess, and it will not take long for all kinds of problems to occur.

After she put down her phone, she looked at the scenery outside the window for a while, and then went to Yan Xin again.

When Yan Xin was tired of looking at her phone a few times, she shifted her gaze, and she could see that she was peeking at herself.

If she was more beautiful, Yan Xin might have a chat with her.

It's a pity that this girl looks quite ordinary, and she is a little fat.

Those with round faces seem quite blessed, but Yan Xin is not the kind of person who cherishes blessings.

So he saw it and pretended not to see it.

In my heart, I muttered: "Isn't this little chubby girl interested in me?"

It didn't bother him, on the contrary, he was a little proud.

Although the girl is not beautiful, her foresight is her advantage.

Lying down half an hour, playing with the phone, chatting with people on QQ, browsing the forum for a while, eyes tired, Yan Xin put down the phone.

Then he saw the little chubby girl opposite him looking straight at him.

He nodded and smiled.

This smile gave the little fat girl opposite a lot of courage, and then she asked him:
"Handsome guy, is your mobile phone Nokia's new flagship n95?"

Yan Xin nodded: "Yes, it's this one."

"How much did you pay for it?" the little fat girl asked.

"More than 6000." Yan Xin said.

The little chubby girl exclaimed: "It's only over 6000? Is the price dropping so quickly?"

Then he said depressedly: "But it's still too expensive. That's half a year's salary for me. I can afford such a mobile phone without eating or drinking for half a year."

Yan Xin smiled and said, "You may have just come out to work, work harder and persevere, and your income will get higher and higher in the future."

The little fat girl's words reminded him of his previous life.

When such a mobile phone came out in his previous life, he was also very greedy and wanted to own such a mobile phone.

All kinds of functions seemed to be against the sky at the time.

It's just that his monthly salary at that time was about 1000, not to mention deducting food and lodging.

At that time, I also had some resentment in my heart. I felt that the world was too unfair. Some people could enjoy so many good things, but some people could only watch others enjoy them, and they could only struggle to live.

At this moment, the chubby girl's complaint reminded him of himself back then, and of the miserable youth in his previous life. He resonated with him, and his eyes softened when he looked at her.

Seeing his friendly words, the little fat girl tentatively said, "Handsome guy, can you let me take a look at your mobile phone? I've only seen it at the counter, and haven't played it yet."

Yan Xin originally wanted to refuse, but seeing her expectant eyes, her heart softened inexplicably, handed over the phone, and said with a smile:

"You can try to use it and see how it works."

After finishing speaking, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly added: "Well, don't watch the videos on your phone."

The little chubby girl understood what he meant, blushed suddenly, and said awkwardly, "I know."

Carefully took the phone, and said: "Brother, you are so kind."

Yan Xin kept a smile on his face, but he had already started to mutter in his heart: "That is to say, is there such a possibility—in fact, she is not interested in me, but only in this mobile phone?"

Those who are interested in mobile phones are not just the later Apple family. Before that, there were many counterfeit phones with a few hundred dollars in their hands, but they knew all the configurations of those new flagship phones.

Starlight.com's mobile phone forums, together with several brand exclusive forums, often have tens of thousands of online users, which is also a proof.

This phone has only been bought for a few days, and there are no photos or videos that involve personal privacy on the phone. However, there are indeed a dozen or so video clips downloaded from the Internet, all of which are a few minutes long.

That kind of stuff, seen between couples, is called fun.

It would be inappropriate for outsiders to see it.

It's even worse for someone of the opposite sex to see it.

Fortunately, the little chubby girl is quite sensible. Although she didn't resist the temptation of this machine king and wanted to experience the contemporary black technology for herself, she didn't click on the video column either.

She took a few photos and took a few selfies. After observing for a while, she came to a conclusion: "It's much clearer than my mobile phone, and it's so expensive that it makes sense!"

I turned on the music software on my phone and listened to half a song, and came to a new conclusion: "It's not as loud as my phone."

Then I was depressed: "But my mobile phone is not a smart phone, so I can't download those software."

Yan Xin thought to himself: "In a few years, you will know what a real smart phone looks like. The current ones are just a joke."

Yan Xin downloaded some software from the Internet by himself, and the little fat girl didn't know how to use it, so she came to ask him for advice.

Yan Xin also took the trouble to tell her how to use some software and what functions it has.

What Xiaopangmei admires most is the QQ software. Her mobile phone cannot download software, so she can't use it.

If you want to chat with people on QQ, you can only go to the QQ network on your mobile phone, but that is very inconvenient.

Relying on the linkage of this Nokia phone king, the two of them communicated, which added some fun to this trip and made it less boring.

The chubby girl played with Yan Xin's phone for half an hour, and seeing that there were only two bars left, she returned the phone to Yan Xin.

Then he took out a pack of Chacha melon seeds, shared them with Yan Xin, and chatted while eating.

During the chat, Yan Xin learned that this little chubby girl is also from his hometown, but she lives in the city. She arrives at the station at [-]:[-] pm, takes the bus, and can go home at [-]:[-] pm.

She is also in Yangcheng, but instead of working in a factory, she helps her cousin sell clothes, eats and lives at her cousin's house, and sometimes takes care of her cousin's children and tutors her homework.

It's only this year, but it's been two years since it came out.

That is, it came out at the age of 16.

After graduating from junior high school, she stayed at home for a year before being brought out by her cousin.

She told Yan Xin that her parents were both laid-off workers. That year her father went to work on a construction site and was injured and broke his leg. Although the construction site made up a little money, after deducting medical expenses, there was not much left.

Because of this reason, her father has no ability to earn money, and only relies on her mother's several hundred yuan from sweeping the streets, and has a younger brother who needs to study. The family can no longer support her as an idler, so she can only let her go out to work.

Her cousin gave her a salary of 1000 yuan a month, but only 300 yuan a month, and the other 700 yuan went directly to her father.

So she worked part-time for two years, and she didn't save any money, and she could only afford a counterfeit phone.

This time I went home for the festival because her cousin's in-laws would go there during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my cousin didn't have so many places to live at home, so I simply gave her a few days off and asked her to go home to spend the holiday with her parents.

When talking about these, the expression on his face showed some sadness.

Yan Xin sighed: "Then it's not easy for you. A girl is only 16 years old and has to support the family. Others at your age only know how to ask the family for money. Who will contribute to the family?"

For such a person, he still has a lot of respect.

The little fat girl said: "Actually, I don't want to do this either. I also want to spend all the money I earn. I want to play for a few more years. But there is no way! I can't watch my family starve to death, can I?"

After saying this, she laughed again, and said to Yan Xin: "But that's all in the past, and it's much better now. Although my dad's legs won't get better, he can still work in the fields. From waste products, you can earn hundreds of yuan a month, and when you are lucky, you can earn more than 1000 yuan. My younger brother was admitted to a key middle school this year, and the family can afford his tuition. My cousin told me, From now on, she will still give me 300 yuan every month, but she will not send the rest of the money to my dad, but will keep it for me, and it will be my dowry when I get married."

When she said this, she smiled happily.

He also clenched his fist at Yan Xin and said, "Brother, our family will get better and better, and my life will also get better and better."

Yan Xin also smiled: "Well, it will definitely get better and better."

From this little chubby girl, he felt a positive energy and an optimistic attitude from this little chubby girl.

Thinking again: "No wonder you get fat—you have a big heart and a fat body."

When there is an optimistic and positive person around you, your mentality will become more optimistic and positive.

The little fat girl asked him what kind of work he did and where he was from.

Yan Xin didn't tell the whole truth, he just said that he works on a website and his salary is not bad.

There is no concealment of where the family lives, which county or town they are talking about.

As for which village group, of course I didn't say it, and if I said it, people would have no idea.

The little fat girl exclaimed: "So you are from my hometown! We are from the same place."

Yan Xin stretched out his hand to her, and said with a smile, "Hi fellow!"

The little chubby girl was flattered, held his hand, shook it up and down, and then let go.

After a while, he blushed again and asked, "Brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

Yan Xin didn't know what she meant when she asked this question, and replied, "I have a girlfriend."

I silently added another sentence in my heart: "And there are still two!"

When the little fat girl heard this, her eyes suddenly dimmed, as if more than half of the light had been extinguished at once.

Head down.

When he raised his head, his face was full of smiles again, and he said:
"I knew it, you are so handsome, you have such a good job, and you are so kind, you will definitely have a girlfriend."

Yan Xin just smiled, not knowing what to say better.

When you can't speak, you don't have to speak.

He always thought so.

So he has not been very good at chatting, and often makes the atmosphere fall into an awkward atmosphere.

The little fat girl hesitated for a while, then mustered up the courage to ask:

"Brother, can we add a QQ friend?"

Yan Xin took out the phone again, and said with a smile: "Okay, what is your QQ number, I will add you."

The little fat girl said an eight-digit QQ number, and then took out her mobile phone.

Her mobile phone does not have qq software installed, but she can access the qq network on that mobile phone.

Yan Xin found her QQ number, looked at her nickname, and said with a smile, "Your name is Lulu?"

The little fat girl blushed, and said, "My name is Zhou Lu, so I took such a screen name."

After she added Yan Xin's QQ account, she took a look at his screen name - Jixiangruyi.

Can't help but laugh:
"Brother, how old are you, why do you use such a screen name?"

Yan Xin said to her very seriously: "This is a beautiful meaning, I wish all the people who add me as friends on QQ all the best of luck."
