Reborn since 2005

The next day was the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. When I woke up in the morning, I opened the window and saw that it was completely white outside.

It snowed heavily at night.

This cheered up Ellie.

Even on a snowy day, she was not afraid of the cold. After eating breakfast, she encouraged everyone to go out to see the snow scene.

There were still snowflakes in the sky at this time, and the visibility was actually not very good.

But for children who grew up in Guangdong, such snow scenes are too rare to see.

It's a pity to just stay in the house like this.

She was in such a mood that the other people couldn't help but listen to her instigation, put on their water shoes and went out with an umbrella.

Yan Xin also brought a SLR camera so that he could take better photos.

——The mobile phones they use now are all iPhone 4. Compared with previous mobile phones, the photo taking effect is better, but compared with SLR cameras, it is still a lot worse.

Several young people wanted to go out to see the snow scenery, and the old couple couldn't stop them. They just told them to be careful on the way and not to fall.

The snow is slippery, and you can easily fall if you're not careful, and even get injured if you don't do it right.

It snowed heavily all night, and the snow on the roadside was a bit thick, more than half a foot deep.

Stepping in is a deep footprint.

However, the snow on the road is not very thick and has been trampled firmly by passers-by.

Adults generally don't have the leisure and elegance to go out for a walk in heavy snow. It's mainly the children who run around and step on it.

Nowadays, it rarely snows once a year. Children are quite excited when encountering such weather.

As they walked along, they saw a few children having a snowball fight on the road, and a few families building snowmen on their grain drying grounds.

Ai Lili also asked Yan Xin: "When we come back later, do you want to build a snowman?"

Yan Xin nodded and smiled: "Okay."

Anyway, there is nothing to do at home on a snowy day, so it would be good to fulfill Ellie's wish.

Along the way, I took a lot of photos.

Finally they climbed to the highest mountain in the village.

It was a mountain with an altitude of more than 100 meters, and the vertical height from the ground was less than 100 meters.

There is also a temple on the top of the mountain, dedicated to Heigong - Yan Xin doesn't know which Taoist deity it is.

In the past, the Buddha was enshrined there, and a monk presided over it. In the mid-90s, I don’t know what happened. The monk ran away, the Buddha statue was destroyed, and the temple was empty. Later, this great god was invited. Went in and an old man came to host.

As the highest mountain in several nearby villages and the only temple, it still has some incense, which is better than farming.

They climbed to the top of the mountain in the wind and snow, and then found that there were also young people here who were as bored as them, who had arrived earlier than them, playing there, some going to worship gods, and some taking photos.

The perspective on the mountain is obviously better and you can see different scenery.

Elderly people will not brave the wind and snow to join in the fun, and children do not dare to go up the mountain alone, so these young people like this.

After Yan Xin and his party arrived, the first thing they did was worship the gods, and they also gave 200 yuan in incense money, which made the old man in the temple extremely happy.

After worshiping the gods, I took photos from all angles.

Take pictures of snow scenes and people.

Yan Xin also took out his mobile phone and recorded several short videos.

It's rare for everyone to get together, and when we were all young, we recorded this, and it will have a beautiful carrier when we recall it in the future.

After walking around the small temple and taking pictures from all angles, they rested for a while in the pavilion next to it.

When they were about to leave, several more young people came from the bottom of the mountain.

Before the people appeared, they heard their voices.

There are men and women.

Bai Xiaoling suddenly said to Yan Xin: "I seemed to hear the voices of my classmates."

Yan Xin smiled and said: "What's weird about this? It's almost the Chinese New Year now, and everyone who went out to work has gone home. It's not surprising at all to meet them here."

The sound got closer and closer, and then I saw several people coming up.

"It's really her!" Bai Xiaoling said to Yan Xin.

Then he waved his hand over there and shouted: "Peng Yan!"

A girl wearing a red down jacket over there was stunned for a moment, looked over here, and asked with an awkward smile:

"who are you?"

As he spoke, he walked over here.

"I'm Bai Xiaoling! We used to live in the same group, have you forgotten?" Bai Xiaoling said.

The girl exclaimed: "Xiao Ling! I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have become so beautiful? I really can't recognize you!"

Bai Xiaoling liked hearing this and said with a smile: "You have become more beautiful too."

The two people approached. The girl named Peng Yan looked at Bai Xiaoling and said:
"Compared to before, you have changed so much. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't dare to recognize you."

This is also true.

In the past few years, Bai Xiaoling's facial features have not changed much, but her temperament has changed a lot, and her skin has also changed a lot.

Living conditions have become better, and I have been a company executive for a few years. Although I am still very young now, I already have a bit of a strong woman. Compared with when I just graduated a few years ago, I have a completely different look. Feel.

And this girl named Peng Yan has not changed much from before.

So Bai Xiaoling could recognize her at a glance, but she couldn't recognize Bai Xiaoling.

They were classmates in elementary school. They were not in the same class in junior high school, and they were not in the same school in high school.

However, they lived in the same group and before Wu Xiuhong remarried, they still met every year and their relationship was pretty good.

But after Wu Xiuhong married Yan's father, the mother and daughter moved away, and they never saw each other.

They hadn't seen each other for several years, but now Peng Yan was a little happy to see her former friend.

He smiled and said, "I heard that after your mother remarried, you got a rich brother and found a good job. Is that true?"

"Yes," Bai Xiaoling held Yan Xin's hand next to her with a smile as bright as a flower, "This is my rich brother, Yan Xin."

Then he pointed at Feng Xi, who was standing with Ai Lili for Xiao Shiyu to take a photo:

"This is my sister-in-law. She was in the same class as us before. The top student in our village is Feng Xi."

They were both born in the same year, and both studied in primary schools in the village. It was normal for them to be in the same class.

However, one lives at the east end of the village and the other lives at the west end of the village. We only know them, but are not familiar with them.

After finishing elementary school, we no longer had any contact with each other.

After Feng Xi took the photo, he nodded to Peng Yan and said hello with a smile:
"Peng Yan, hello, do you still remember me?" Peng Yan said, "You are a top student, of course I will remember you."

She felt a little embarrassed in her heart - in fact, she had already forgotten what Feng Xi looked like, and she knew that his academic performance was very good.

After all, we haven’t seen each other since elementary school.

However, during her career when she went out to work, this former classmate had become her good friend, someone she often showed off.

There was nothing I could do about it, among all the people I interacted with, who was this elementary school classmate who was the most awesome?

But she didn't know how awesome Feng Xi was.

I only know that she is a top student. She scored more than 700 points in the college entrance examination. She was the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination. She also founded a company when she was in college. It is said that she made a lot of money and built a big villa for her family.

As for Feng Xi marrying Yan Xin, the half-brother of her friend Bai Xiaoling, she had also heard about it.

After all, they were from the same village, and the gossip of rich people attracted special attention. It was difficult for her not to know.

She doesn't know how rich Yan Xin is.

——Even Yan Xin’s parents didn’t know something, so of course there was no reason for her as an outsider to know.

From the news she heard, Yan Xin turned out to be a low-income earner, just a wage earner with a relatively high salary. Being able to marry a boss like Feng Xi was considered a high achievement.

Now I saw Yan Xin and then looked at Feng Xi, thinking:

"No wonder he is able to eat soft rice. He is so handsome."

A thought came to mind: "If I had as much money as Feng Xi, I would be willing to go out and find such a handsome man."

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but blush, and I didn't dare to look at Yan Xin.

The people who came with her all lived in the same group as her, some were men and some were women, some were a few years older than her, and some were a few years younger than her.

They all work in the same place, so they are relatively familiar with each other.

Bai Xiaoling knew these people well - she had lived there for more than ten years.

It's just not as familiar as Peng Yan.

Bai Xiaoling greeted them all.

Those young people were very polite to her, but there was still a bit of unfamiliarity in their politeness.

They wanted to have a good relationship with Bai Xiaoling, but they felt that now that they were rich, they might not look down on their former poor neighbors.

Including Peng Yan, everyone thinks like that now.

They are all migrant workers. They are only at home during the 10 or so days during the Chinese New Year. The rest of the time they work thousands of miles away, existing like tools.

More than ten hours a day, which is a salary of one to two thousand yuan a month.

Only when I go home to celebrate the New Year, I feel a little proud and can spend money generously.

Other times it was very hard and humbling.

If you can build a good relationship with rich people and get a good job, you can live a decent life.

With such thoughts, he unconsciously lowered his head in front of Yan Xin and the others.

Yan Xin himself has no idea of ​​being superior to others.

In his previous life, he was a social beast and had a harder time than these people. Naturally, he couldn't look down on these people - that would be tantamount to looking down on himself.

However, he was not familiar with these people, so he just smiled and said hello to Bai Xiaoling.

Bai Xiaoling was quite happy.

I met my friends here who used to play very well, and I felt as if I was meeting my mother's family.

In addition, there is also a sense of glory of returning home in fine clothes.

I was planning to go down the mountain, but now I have to give up this idea, return to the pavilion, and talk to Peng Yan.

With her like this, Yan Xin and others were too embarrassed to leave her and go down the mountain, and followed her back to the pavilion.

People on both sides started chatting awkwardly.

Yan Xin and Feng Xi are better off. Although they are not very familiar with these people, they are all from the same village and can still find some common topics.

Ai Lili and Xiao Shiyu, one is not from this town, the other is not even from this province, so they can't get in the conversation at all.

The two of them simply walked out of the pavilion and began to find angles to take photos, changing positions to take selfies.

Bai Xiaoling asked about Peng Yan's current job and her salary.

These were things that Peng Yan was proud of - her income from working alone in an electronics factory was several times higher than her parents' income from working at home, and she was already the most capable person in her family.

But such pride was no longer pride in front of Bai Xiaoling, who had become a rich man, and seemed unworthy of mention.

Some of them said awkwardly: "As you know, I haven't studied since I graduated from high school, and I don't have any skills. Now I work in an electronics factory in Guangdong Province. The salary is very low, one or two thousand yuan a month." look like."

"One or two thousand yuan a month..." Bai Xiaoling thought for a moment, "That's indeed a bit low."

Her first job a few years ago was as a customer service employee at Jinxi E-commerce Company, with a salary of one to two thousand.

That was a few years ago, and wages were nowhere near as high as they are now.

When she heard Peng Yan say such a number, she expressed her feelings without thinking too much.

When she said this, not only did Peng Yan blush, but the young people who came with Peng Yan were also a little embarrassed.

Because they both work in the same electronics factory, their salaries are similar.

Peng Yan laughed awkwardly and said to Bai Xiaoling:

"Yes, it's quite low, but there's nothing we can do about it. We don't have much ability, so we can only find a job like this."

I thought to myself: "If you meet a rich brother and a sister-in-law who is a boss, who can help you introduce good jobs, of course you will feel that our wages are very low. Without them, how could you be stronger than us?" ?"

I was a little dissatisfied, but I couldn't show it. I was still thinking about whether I could find a better job through the other party.

With such thoughts, his tone of voice unconsciously became humble.

Bai Xiaoling turned to Yan Xin and asked: "Brother, how high are the wages of the employees in the pickled cabbage processing factory you invested in the village?"

Yan Xin knew what she was thinking, smiled and said: "Our pickled cabbage processing factory also has busy hours and idle hours. During the busy months, the monthly salary can reach more than 2,000, and during the idle months, the monthly salary can reach more than 1,000. If not, you can only receive a basic salary.”

He was talking about general workers.

During the busiest period, the number of workers recruited was overwhelmed, and a large number of temporary workers had to be recruited to solve the problem.

When I have free time, there is basically nothing to do.

As for the management and clerks, it's different. The salary will be relatively stable.

When he said this, one of the young people's eyes lit up and he said:

"The salary is pretty good. Although the salary is about the same as when we work in an electronics factory, you are working at home, so your consumption level is not that high. You can also help the family with some things in your free time. It is much better than working outside."
