Shenzhen City, which is more than a thousand miles away from Tianguang City.

In an old residential building.

Zhao Ji lives in a room of less than 40 square meters in this residential building, and lives with his wife.

He is from Yushan Village. In the early years, because the village could not make any money, he went out to work with his wife, and the children stayed in the village.

At that time, I heard that the salary in Shenzhen City was very high, and it would be the economic center of the whole country in the future, so the couple came here to work.

In the first few years, I did have a good income by working hard.

But after a few years of struggle, the construction of Shenzhen City is getting better and better, and the prices are getting higher and higher, but for their bottom-level workers, the wages have not increased much.

Zhao Ji is now working on a construction site. The salary is 180 yuan a day, which is 5,400 yuan a month. His wife cooks on the construction site, and the salary is not high, only 2,000 yuan.

The two people add up to more than 7,000, and the salary seems very high, which is several times higher than the per capita annual income of Yushan Village.

But I can’t save money. Firstly, the prices in Shenzhen are too high. A bowl of ordinary noodles costs 30 yuan. Secondly, the rent is also high. Their room is only 40 square meters, and the rent is more than 3,000.

In addition to eating and drinking for two people, there is still 2000 per month, so 5000 is removed, and the remaining 2000 is more than 1500, which is sent back to the hometown, and hundreds of dollars are saved every month.

As a result, after a few years, the savings are not much, because the individual will always get sick, big or small every year, and the elderly and children in the family sometimes have to go to the hospital. After a few years, the two of them have no foundation at all.

Zhao Ji didn't know when this day would end. He thought of his daughter in his hometown, who couldn't see her a few times throughout the year, and was worried in his heart.

At this moment, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Zhao Ji picked it up and saw that someone on WeChat asked him to add him as a friend, so he turned on his phone and added him. Before he could send a message, an invitation for a video chat came from the other side.

"Who is it?"

Zhao Ji was puzzled for a while, then clicked to accept, and then a little girl appeared on the phone screen.

"Well……"

Zhao Ji was a little confused at first, whose daughter is so cute, and then realized that she almost wanted to slap herself, isn't this her daughter Duo Duo?

"dad!"

The little girl seemed very happy to see Zhao Ji, and her immature voice came from the phone.

Zhao Ji felt guilty, he couldn't see his daughter once a year, and almost didn't recognize him, but the daughter recognized him immediately, which made him want to cry.

On the screen, Dodo blinked: "Dad, why didn't you say it?"

Zhao Ji came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "I didn't hear it just now, Duo Duo, why did you think of video chatting with me?"

He was still a little puzzled, whose mobile phone Dodo used to chat with him. After thinking about it, the new female branch secretary in Yushan Village had chatted with him on WeChat before. Borrowed a mobile phone.

Dodo seemed very happy to see Zhao Ji, and chatted for a long time.

Ten minutes later.

Zhao Ji watched and continued the chat, fearing that Dodo would make the branch secretary angry, so he reminded: "Duodo, where is your grandfather?"

Duo Duo blinked, then put down the phone, and came back after a while, and the faces of Duo Duo and Zhao Tian appeared in the video.

Zhao Ji was speechless for a while and said, "Dad, why don't you take good care of Duoduo."

Zhao Tian was very excited to see his son, and he was speechless when he heard this: "What's wrong with me? Oh, are you talking about the mobile phone? I forgot, Duo Duo gave me the mobile phone, and I will chat with your father, okay?"

Dodo obediently gave the mobile phone to grandpa.

Zhao Ji said: "No, Dad, I mean, Dodo borrowed the mobile phone of Xu Zhishu, right? I'm afraid that Xu Zhishu will be angry after chatting with me for so long, and there is no wireless network in the village, so much money is wasted." traffic, wait until you give Xu Zhishu 50 yuan, don’t make him angry.”

Zhao Tian understood, and said with a funny face: "You don't have to worry about this, Xu Zhishu is fine."

Zhao Ji said anxiously: "Hurry up and return the mobile phone to others. During the Chinese New Year, I will bring you one back."

Zhao Tian shook his head: "Son, this phone is mine, so don't return it."

Zhao Ji thought he heard it wrong: "Dad, what did you say?"

"This phone belongs to me, so there is no need to return it! The village committee brought a carload of mobile phones over yesterday and gave them to us as welfare!"

Zhao Ji's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Is it true?"

Zhao Tian was dissatisfied and said: "Where are there fake ones? Every household has them, and I heard from people in Lijia Village, what is this brand called Guojiji? I can't remember, anyway, there are thousands of them."

Zhao Ji gasped: "Fruit machine?"

Zhao Tian nodded: "Yes, that's the fruit machine, the latest model!"

Zhao Ji still didn't believe it: "Dad, is this true? Our village committee is so rich?"

Zhao Tian said impatiently: "It's true what I told you. Now the village committee is very rich, and you don't listen to it when you come back to work. Otherwise, you can get an extra mobile phone this time. Forget it, I won't tell you." , I'll hang up first. Goodbye!"

Goodbye?

Zhao Ji secretly thought about what the last sentence meant, and then realized that his mother's own father actually spoke English. When did he become so foreign?

But this matter is not important now, he hastily called the villagers who came out to work together.

"Xiao Yuan, have you heard what happened in the village?"

"Oh, someone in your family also got that mobile phone!"

"Is it really a fruit machine?"

After several phone calls, Zhao Ji was a little dazed and sat there blankly.

When his wife came back, she saw Zhao Ji in a daze with a serious expression on her face, and thought something serious had happened, so she panicked, "Husband, what happened? Did something happen to someone in the family?"

Zhao Ji shook his head.

His wife was surprised: "So you are sick?"

Zhao Ji still shook his head.

His wife's face sank: "So you went to gamble?"

Zhao Ji still shook his head.

His wife said angrily, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhao Ji said seriously: "Honey, I'm wondering if we should go back to the village."

He told his wife about it.

"My parents also told me about this before." Zhao Ji's wife said, "I heard that among the villagers in the village, there are more than 3,000 people who work a month less, and more than 5,000 people. Some time ago When the hawthorns are harvested, there are tens of thousands of them. I didn’t believe it at first, could it be true?”

Zhao Ji shook his head: "I don't know, why don't we go back and have a look?"

"It's good to go back and have a look." Zhao Ji's wife thought for a while, "I'll go back and have a look first. Anyway, I don't have a lot of people in this life, and I have a lot of people, and it's faster to look for it when I come back."

Zhao Ji thought about it, and then he made an agreement with his wife.

On the same night, there were many villagers from Yushan Village who had the same plan as him and came out to work.
