When Zhou Yu walked out of the train station with his bag and returned to his hometown Xiangcheng, it was already past 11 o'clock at night.

Xiangcheng, Zhou Yu's hometown, is a typical resource-depleted city, just like Hegang in Heilongjiang Province in the past. As the local coal resources gradually dried up, the local economy has become increasingly backward.

However, today's Xiangcheng is already seeking a path to transformation.

The urban area of ​​Xiangcheng is not large, and it can even be said to be very small. It is so small that although Zhou Yu's home is in the suburbs, it only takes 5 minutes to get home by taxi from the train station in the city center.

It was already late at night, and there were still motorcycles and black cars soliciting passengers outside the train station. When they saw Zhou Yu walking out of the station, they all surrounded Zhou Yu and asked him where he was going.

"Handsome guy, where are you going? Are you going to Suixi? Suixi is 20 yuan per person, and we need one person to leave immediately. Are you going?"

"Young man, where are you going? Do you need a car to take you there?"

"But Suixi is in Suixi. I'm going back to Suixi, so I'll stop by on the way?"

...

...

Zhou Yu had no choice but to stop and explain to the black car drivers who were swarming around him like flies, "No, my home is behind Xiangshan, not Suixi."

Many black car drivers immediately dispersed. Seeing that there were other drivers who wanted to come forward, they waved their hands and drove them away, "You are so stupid! Go back! We are home behind Xiangshan!"

Zhou Yu skillfully bypassed these black car drivers. Zhou Yu walked to the shopping mall opposite the train station and got a taxi, and returned to his long-cherished home.

With a 'pop', Zhou Yu got off the car after paying the money. After closing the door, the taxi left in a flash.

With the sound of the door closing, a dog barked in the yard in front of the door. "Woof woof woof woof!" A dog came out from the iron gate and kept barking at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu whispered softly, "Ah Huang, stop barking!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's scolding, the little yellow dog was stunned for a long time, and then it was like crazy, whimpering and pounced on Zhou Yu.

"嘤嘤嘤嘤!"

The little yellow dog supported its two front paws on Zhou Yu's body with its two hind legs. Zhou Yu happily stroked the head of the dog that he had raised for four or five years.

The sound of the dog barking suddenly lit up the lights in the house that was originally pitch black.

With a 'creak', the door was pushed open.

"Zhou Yu?" A woman with half white hair poked half of her head out from behind the door and asked softly.

Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Yu immediately smiled and said softly, "Mom, it's me!"

......

The little yellow dog lay quietly on the kitchen floor in the yard, watching the hostess and the little master sitting at the dining table, wagging its tail from time to time to show its happy mood at the moment.

"Eat slowly! Don't be in a hurry!" Wang Yufang looked at the son that the old couple was proud of with a gentle face, and couldn't help complaining, "You are really stupid, it takes more than 6 hours to get from Jiangcheng to our home by train, and you don't know to eat at school!"

"It's too late!" Zhou Yu raised his head from the rice bowl full of noodles, looked at his mother and smiled, "Time is too tight, there is no time to eat! Burp!"

"Slow down! No one is competing with you!" Wang Yufang saw that Zhou Yu was a little choked, and hurried forward, gently patting Zhou Yu's back, " Even if you don't have time to eat at school, there's nothing to eat on the train? Can't you buy something to eat on the train? "

"You've been hungry all the way, be careful that your stomach is hungry! You're young, your stomach must not have problems! Once there's something wrong with your stomach, you may have problems everywhere when you get old!"

"There's nothing good to eat on the train! They only sell some mineral water, eight-treasure porridge, instant noodles, etc.!" Zhou Yu took a bite of the poached egg, and the orange-red liquid immediately flowed into the bowl of noodles. Zhou Yu was so anxious that he quickly stuffed the whole egg into his mouth.

Zhou Yu swallowed the whole egg in one gulp, and then continued, "By the way, where's my dad? He's not at home?"

Wang Yufang picked up a glass, poured a glass of water, and put it next to Zhou Yu. He looked at his son and said softly, "Your dad is not at home. He's on the night shift today."

Zhou Yu paused with his chopsticks, and then continued to scoop noodles into his mouth. While eating, he chatted with his mother, "My dad doesn't need to work the night shift at his age, right? Did the foreman arrange it for him?"

Seeing that his son had misunderstood, Wang Yufang quickly explained, "No way, it wasn't arranged by the foreman, it was your dad who took the initiative to ask for it!"

"My dad took the initiative to ask for it?" Zhou Yu was surprised, "The night shift is so exhausting and harmful to the body, but my dad took the initiative to ask for it? What was he thinking?"

Zhou Yu was a little angry, he couldn't think ofWhat is his father Zhou Dahai thinking? He obviously doesn't have to work the night shift, but he still takes the initiative to ask for it. This is not the way to promote style. Didn't you work the night shift when you were young?

Seeing that Zhou Yu was a little angry, Wang Yufang hurriedly explained softly, "Isn't it that you have entered society and started working!"

"You should find a partner soon, get married, have children, and all this costs money! Also, your uncle told me last time that the current housing prices are rising sharply!"

"This betrothal gift costs money, the three golds cost money, and buying a house also costs money. It just so happens that working a night shift unit now gives an extra subsidy of 100, so your father took the initiative to apply."

"Your father and I want to earn more before retirement, and try to save up a house for you in Xiangshan!"

Listening to his mother's words, Zhou Yu was a little stunned.

After a long while, he pulled the corners of his mouth, showed a forced smile and looked at his mother Wang Yufang, saying, "It's my own business, why do you need to work so hard? When my dad comes back tomorrow, I will talk to him and tell him not to work so hard. His health is the most important!"

Wang Yufang disagreed with Zhou Yu's words and retorted, "What do you mean by your own business? Go ask the village, if any young man says this, people will break his parents' spines!"

"It is natural for parents to help their children to start a family and build a career! Why don't you care about our business? Don't say this in front of your dad, or he will beat you!"

"Mom, I have started working now!" Zhou Yu said, "The unit where I work doesn't charge for food and accommodation, and I also pay wages! The treatment is very good! So, you really don't need to do this, you can just wait to enjoy the benefits in the future!"

Hearing Zhou Yu talking about his unit, the wrinkles on Wang Yufang's face instantly relaxed. She said happily, "I heard you say that last time you called me. Is the treatment in that school you mentioned really that good? There are dormitories and canteens with meals?"

Zhou Yu nodded repeatedly, "It's true, mom! The leaders of the school where I did my internship were very nice to us teachers. We don't have to worry about life at all, we just need to teach peacefully!"

Wang Yufang nodded with satisfaction. As the top student in the class for many years and the first 211 university student in the village, Zhou Yu has been the pride of Wang Yufang and Zhou Dahai since childhood.

Wang Yufang said earnestly, "Since the school takes such good care of you, you must work hard and don't let the leaders down!"

Zhou Yu nodded, and after swallowing the last mouthful of noodles, he said, "I know, Mom. Let me tell you, I am still the head teacher of a senior high school graduating class! The students in our class..."

Zhou Yu happily told his mother Wang Yufang about some interesting things in school, and although Wang Yufang didn't understand what Zhou Yu said, she still sat there quietly, looking at Zhou Yu with a smile in her eyes.
