Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 186 A Late Bloom
The more ordinary your life is, the faster you feel that the days go by.

A year is said and done, the New Year's Eve dinner, visiting relatives on the first day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, and Ma Liang has been back to his hometown for several days in the blink of an eye.

The second day of the Lunar New Year, commonly known as the day of welcoming the son-in-law, is the day when the daughter and son-in-law return home.

A married daughter will bring her husband and children back to her natal home to pay New Year's greetings, and Ma Jianguo and Ma Jianjun, the two sons of Lao Ma's family, will also bring their daughter-in-law and children back to their husband's home.

The number of people decreased by half at once, and the old Ma's house suddenly became deserted again.

There are no smartphones these days, and it is inconvenient to look up information. Ma Liang is having a headache about how to help his family get rich.

Just as he was thinking about whether to go to the town to find an Internet cafe to surf the Internet, his cell phone rang.

"Ma Liang, are you back for the New Year?" It was his high school classmate Hu Weijie who asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.

It is precisely because I am very familiar with his situation that I have asked this question.

After all, he didn't go home for the New Year during the winter vacation in his previous life, and he still stayed in Shanghai to do a part-time job just to make more money.

Ma Liang immediately replied: "I'm back, I just wanted to ask you for something."

"You didn't say it earlier when you came back, hurry up, come to the county, the classmate reunion at noon today." Hu Weijie hurriedly urged.

Ma Liang wondered: "Student reunion? The monitor didn't call me, so let's not go."

High school is not as simple as most people think. In terms of the relationship between classmates, it is not even as deep as the relationship between college roommates who have been together day and night for four years.

At least like Ma Liang's middle school in the county, students in the city seldom hang out with country students like him.

I can't blame the students for being snobbish since they were young. It can only be said that their respective backgrounds are different, which leads to different auras, and it is awkward to get along with each other.

Today's so-called class reunion is not a formal gathering, it's just a meal with local students in the county.

This kind of activity is basically AA system. It is very convenient for students from other counties to get together, and they will not call out students from the countryside to participate, so as not to increase the pressure on students from poor families.

So Ma Liang didn't receive the notification from the squad leader, but even if he was notified, he wasn't interested in participating.

Because no matter what age class reunion is, it is a particularly boring thing.The so-called class reunion is actually a show place for some people, and a sentimental place for others.

Everyone is not from the same class, why bother to get together.

Usually there is not a single text message to greet, and what kind of feelings can be gathered at a party.It's better to get together with three or five friends, it's more comfortable to come.

"Don't regret it if you don't come, Lin Qiuya will also participate today." Hu Weijie thought he had cast the bait, and Ma Liang would definitely take the bait.

Xiao Hu has known for a long time that his deskmate has long admired Lin University for a long time.

But Ma Liang is no longer the little Ma brother he used to be. Before his rebirth, he even saw the middle-aged version of Lin Qiuya, so how could he still have obsessions.

Even if he hadn't been disillusioned before rebirth, he wouldn't be much interested now.

Which of the four beauties around him is better than Colonel Lin?And it's more than a little bit stronger.

Ma Liang thought that he just wanted to ask Hu Weijie for help, so he stopped insisting and agreed.

Although the journey from the village to the county is not far, it is not convenient for him who does not have a car.

You have to ride a bicycle to the town first, and then take a minibus.

It took Ma Liang more than an hour to arrive at the originally half-hour journey.

This also confirmed his idea of ​​helping his family get rich. Ma's family didn't even have a car, so it was too inconvenient to travel.

The two made an appointment to meet at the school gate, and when they arrived, they saw Hu Weijie waiting there.

"Ma Liang, this way." Hu Weijie rode an electric bike and greeted him diagonally across from the school.

Jintang County is one of the four counties under Rongcheng. Although it is the strongest among the four counties, it is the farthest from the downtown area of ​​Rongcheng. Compared with the other dozen districts and cities, economic development has always been ignored. .

Even so, Jintang County is also close to the existence of a county-level city, and it is already much stronger than other small counties in Sichuan and Sichuan.

And Ma Liang's high school alma mater is called [Jintang Middle School].

The name is very strange. It is neither No. [-] Middle School nor No. [-] Middle School. It is called Jintang Middle School, and the locals directly call it Jintang Middle School.

Since the middle school is named after the county seat, it naturally means that it is the best middle school in the county.

Ma Liang and Hu Weijie were also in the best key classes, but they were not in liberal arts classes, but in science.

After the college entrance examination, although Ma Liang's grades were good, he did not choose a college of science and engineering like most of his classmates, but applied for Huazheng Law.

After all, most science and engineering majors require postgraduate and Ph.D. studies in order to develop better.

Being from a poor family, he has a very clear understanding of himself, and it is absolutely impossible for him to study for a PhD after graduating from university.

Due to the priority of employment, the more general legal profession has become his best choice.

This is not the child of the poor who should be the head of the family early, but a realistic and helpless objective choice. If Ma Liang hadn't been on the street, he might not even have the knowledge of this.

A heart-wrenching truth is that children from poor families do not mature early, but mature later.

We must know that parents and family environment are too important for a person's growth, and children from poor families are almost a blank slate in understanding the operating logic of human society and the truth of human nature.

Being poor is not without reason.

If your cognition and ideas are right, why don't you have what you want in your pocket.

Children from poor families generally have to struggle in society after the age of 30, bumping into walls, stepping on pitfalls, and taking detours, in order to gradually understand the true nature of the world.

Only when you are hit with blood and bruises all over your body will you understand a little bit of social rules.

And among them, many, many opportunities will be missed, even some key opportunities to reverse fate.

What is consumed in this process is not only youth, but also passion and fighting spirit.

It takes constant trial and error, and constantly wasting one's own time to test, before it is possible to stand up and surpass one's parents and grandparents.

In his previous life, Ma Liangguang had worked so hard to become a qualified lawyer, and he had overcome countless cognitive obstacles and emotional deficits.

For the children of rich families, these things have been nurtured since childhood.

The most frightening thing between the poor and the rich is not the gap in innate basic conditions, but the difference in thinking and cognition.

Ma Liang is very fortunate that he studied law in his previous life.

Although he still took a lot of detours in his career as a lawyer, at least he has gained a lot of knowledge, otherwise he might not even have the ability and cognition now.

If that was the case, even if he was reborn, he would not be able to achieve his current results.

Many things seem simple, but you don't realize how many shortcomings you have until you do them.

It is even more difficult to start a business. Except for the super internet celebrity snack of red lip skewers, Ma Liang may be caught blind if you change a project.

He had never done business in his previous life, so he had exhausted his brains to not pay the tuition for starting a business.

In the process of starting a business after rebirth, Ma Liang's own abilities and cognition are also improving rapidly.

If it was changed to the state when he was just in college in his previous life, he would definitely suffer from face and face, and it is absolutely impossible to ask his deskmate for help.

But now his face is much thicker, and he directly asked Hu Weijie: "Brother Wei, I want to get a driver's license as soon as possible, can I ask your father for help, and arrange it in two days."

"Hey! You asked at the right time. I just wanted to learn a driver's license during the winter vacation." Hu Weijie replied in surprise.

He didn't understand why the sex at the same table in front of him suddenly changed, and he didn't know why his good brother, who had never been well off, suddenly had enough money to get a driver's license.

However, Xiao Hu is still very happy to have someone to practice driving with.

Seeing that his understanding was wrong, Ma Liang continued to add: "I don't want to learn to drive, but I plan to go directly to the test.

I actually learned to drive in college, and now I just want to get a driver's license. "

The reason why he dared to make this request to Hu Weijie was precisely because he was sure in his heart, because this kid's father was the captain of the county traffic police team.

The matter of taking the driver's license test happened to be in his father's hands, and he was a professional counterpart.

It's only 2006 now, and the county test is not so strict. The traffic police chief still has some power to arrange a formal driver's license test in advance.

If it was a few years earlier, maybe you don't need to take the test, and you can just get a driver's license.

"What the hell? Have you learned to drive?" Hu Weijie's eyes almost popped out after hearing this.

I, the second generation of petty officials, didn't learn it, and Ma Liang, a poor student, was even faster than him.

Ma Liang nodded and replied: "That's right, I have indeed learned it completely, and there is no problem with the theory test of subject one.

But I can't stay at home for a few days, and I will go back to Donghai on the seventh and eighth day of the lunar new year.So before the seventh day, can you ask your dad to help me arrange a driver's license test in advance. "

If it was other students, Ma Liang might not be ashamed to say this, but Hu Weijie is different.

This deskmate was the only brother who got along well in his class for three years in high school, not one of them.

Although the two went their separate ways after college, the relationship between buddies has always been there, even after more than ten years, it hasn't weakened in the slightest.

It's just that Ma Liang didn't think about borrowing strength from this good brother because of his face in his previous life.

You must know that Xiao Hu in the previous life went back to his hometown to take the civil service exam as soon as he graduated, and then embarked on an official career. He was much better off than him.

But now it's different, the reborn Ma Liang understands one thing: it doesn't matter if you are a fool.

Now he is no longer the late-blooming person in his previous life, such a trivial matter will not be too shameful to speak up.

"Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not difficult. De La, I'll go and say hello to my dad when I get home at night." Hu Weijie readily agreed, and then joked again,

"Let's talk about this later, let's go to the restaurant quickly, the students are waiting.

After a while, do you want me to arrange a seat next to Lin Qiuya for you? "

Ma Liang shook his head helplessly, and replied with a wry smile: "Don't make trouble, I already have a girlfriend."

"What did you say? Did I hear you right? You already have a girlfriend?" Hu Weijie couldn't believe it, and was so shocked that he almost couldn't stabilize the electric car.

Xiao Hu, who always claimed to be more handsome, never found a girlfriend so quickly in college.

Ma Liang replied angrily: "It's just finding a girlfriend, what a big deal."

"I found out that you went to Donghai for half a year and came back from university. Your other skills have not improved, but your bragging skills have become more and more powerful.

As expected of a law major, he has already practiced his lips first. "Hu Weijie replied with a look of disbelief.

Ma Liang said helplessly: "Believe it or not, anyway, don't mess around with Lin Qiuya and me."

"Really or not?" Hu Weijie teased dejectedly, "Who wrote people's names on the desk back then?"

Ma Liang blushed, he almost forgot this kind of black history.

He hurriedly pretended to be calm and replied: "Who hasn't been in the second year of middle school! But that's all in the past tense. Lin Qiuya is nothing to me, just stop whining for a while."

"Hey! You're pretending to be real." Hu Weijie obviously still didn't believe it.

After all, there are not one or two boys in the class who obviously like Lin Qiuya, and there are even more boys who have a crush on Lin Qiuya.

If he hadn't already had his own heart, maybe he would have thought about Lin Qiuya.

Ma Liang didn't bother to explain any more, got on the back seat of the scooter, patted him on the shoulder and urged, "Hurry up, you like gossip so much, those who don't know think you're a bitch."

"You hama batch, who is this for, I'm really kind enough to treat you like a donkey." Hu Weijie was so angry that he had nothing to say.

As soon as he twisted the accelerator, the electric car rushed out quickly.
