Back to the prime of life

Chapter 1 The premise that poverty is not scary
"Old Lu, are you here? Are you here yet?"

Lu Changge listened to the voice on the phone and glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer: 21:07.

"I probably won't be able to make it. You guys eat. Next time you come to Jiangzhou, we'll get together again."

"Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"There's an urgent job at work."

Before leaving get off work today, the client suddenly informed me that they would need to present the revised plan tomorrow, a week in advance, saying that their superiors wanted to hear it. I had no choice but to work overtime.

After putting down his phone, Lu Changge rubbed his temples.

Of course it is hard work, but nowadays everyone says that having a job is good enough, so he can only survive.

At this time, the phone rang again, and the note was "wife".

"what happened?"

As soon as the phone rang, the first question he asked was, "What time will you be working tonight?"

"I'll be right back."

"Hurry up, can't you use the computer at home to fix that little thing? I've been on the phone the whole time and can't help Yanyan with his homework at all. Do you plan on making him stay up with you until one or two o'clock?"

Lu Changge felt a little pain in his knuckles where he was holding the phone. He might have had gout. "Aren't you home?"

A faint explosion of voices came from the phone, "I'm at home, resting! My dad just passed away, and my mom is so sad that she's not feeling well. She wanted to talk to me alone, so I hung up on her, didn't I?!"

"I didn't mean that..."

"Come back soon! You're working so hard every day with a million-dollar annual salary! I'm dead!"

Lu Changge had no choice but to pack up quickly and go back with his bag.

To be honest, sometimes he felt that the time on the road was the most relaxing and comfortable, at least when he was driving he only had to drive.

The city lights are bright, and the roads are illuminated by street lights like fire dragons. People are rushing around, not knowing why.

Lu Changge couldn't figure out what marriage, work, and life had brought him. Zhang Ailing said that choosing who to marry actually makes a difference. Some people will become your light, while others will extinguish all the light in your world.

Maybe she is right.

But he also couldn't let go of everything he had. His parents were proud of him, and his relatives and friends thought he was a top student who graduated from a 985 university and stayed in a big city, and was a decent person.

This is called twisting.

When I was in my twenties, I still had a few friends to talk to, but now that I’m nearly forty, I’m alone.

He was in a daze, waiting for the countdown of the red light at the intersection. Suddenly, he noticed two strong and flickering lights behind the opposite lane, accompanied by three consecutive loud "bang, bang, bang" noises, and then an out-of-control van leaped into the air, as if the earth's gravity had failed in that area.

"Fuck!"

Lu Changge's eyes widened instantly, and he seemed to be in a state of being frozen. He didn't know whether to step on the accelerator to avoid the attack or get out of the car and run away.

The next second, everything was swallowed by darkness!

boom! !

Then, there were the screams of pedestrians and the honking of cars...

……

……

"Get up, get up. Are you really drunk or just pretending to be drunk?"

Someone shakes their body?
This is what Lu Changge felt. When he raised his head in a daze, he was a little dazed.

A table full of barbecue, leftover skewers, spilled oil, empty conch shells...

Didn't I decline the dinner tonight? Why are you here?

Look at the people across from me... they are all so young.

"Another drink?"

The speaker was a bespectacled, hawk-nosed boy with a few stubborn, darkened pimples on his face. A closer look revealed a slimmed-down Zhu Xingyu, his high school buddy. But how could he still have acne at such an advanced age?

"No, no, no, I have high uric acid and can't drink beer." Lu Changge refused instinctively.

Zhu Xingyu stretched out his bony arm and insisted on urging him to drink. "Tall hammer, how old are you and you already have high uric acid?"

How old am I?
"Wait a minute, I have a headache." Lu Changge covered his head. This situation was indeed not right. Zhu Xingyu had been fat for many years, and his weight had soared over 200 pounds. How could he have such a blessing to become thin and young?

"What's the matter with you?"

Lu Changge didn't want to talk, he was just receiving the information. He saw the desktop calendar on the cashier's counter, which was very conspicuous. It was 2006.

Outside this small shop is the gate of his high school alma mater, Huaishui Middle School.

It was impossible for him to return to Huaishui from Jiangzhou all at once.

Lu Changge felt his heartbeat quicken. He looked at Zhu Xingyu, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, and He Feier, who had short hair and was dressed like a tomboy and was sitting next to him. He suddenly thought of something.

"What are we doing?"

The two men were also confused, not knowing what their good brother Lu Changge was doing. "I was drinking with you, and you said you were in a bad mood, so you suddenly called us out."

He Feier said: "After a breakup, your brain is also broken?"

Lu Changge was relatively calm. He took two steps and walked out of the store.

Yes, like Huaishui County in 2006,

These days, only one main road in the county, Liansheng Road, has the feel of a modern city. Even so, most of the buildings along the street are old-style brick buildings with two or three stories. The first floor is entirely occupied by shops, and the second-floor windows are filled with clothes drying racks.

On the streets, the motor vehicle lanes are filled with small tricycles carrying people. This is the joy of the old men these days. It combines the functions of buying groceries, picking up children, picking up passengers, and traveling around the county, and is a strong competitor to taxis.

Zhu Xingyu and He Feier thought he was possessed by a demon and kept watching his reaction.

"Now... the college entrance examination is over, right?" Lu Changge turned around and asked.

"It's the end of the week."

That's good. Although he didn't do as well in the college entrance examination in his senior year as he did in his senior year, at least it wasn't a week before the exam. He is now full of flattery skills. When it comes to studying, he can hardly remember what sin30° is.

"Did you just say I was heartbroken?"

After a long time, sometimes you can't tell at what stage you were in a relationship with which woman; after having had a lot of girlfriends, sometimes you can even get the order of your girlfriends wrong.

"It's over. I think you didn't drink too much. You drank fake wine, which can lower your intelligence." Zhu Xingyu gave a diagnosis like an old Chinese doctor.

He Feier said, "We were just guessing, you didn't tell us. But who else could you be in a bad mood about besides Li Ruoqi?"

Lu Changge asked: "Who?"

"Li Ruoqi."

He thought about it for a while and it seemed that there was this person, but he couldn't remember it completely. Maybe he did drink a lot of beer.

Regardless, the fact...seems to be like this.

Then, he didn't yell or scream, or lose control of his behavior and language as if he had discovered a new world.

The ancients said that this is called not showing one's emotions on one's face, which can be translated into two words: old.

The sense of pain and happiness becomes dull.

These two were drinking and laughing for no one knew what they were doing. They both had side bangs that covered one eye. They looked so fucking stupid.

"I'm fine. You two should drink less too. Especially you, Zhu Xingyu. You're already weak, and getting fatter will make you even weaker."

"Come on, I wish I were fatter."

The young man had a silly attitude of "If you don't let me do it, I will do it anyway", and after saying that, he actually drank a glass by himself.

This made Lu Changge want to beat his son.

In fact, for him, the time of rebirth is not the most perfect, because he did not do well in the exam this year. In his previous life, he was in his senior year of high school before he was admitted to a 985 university.

But asking him to go through senior year of high school again now is a bit too much to ask.

Not only is one year too short, but the value comparison between Tsinghua University, Peking University and the five million has already given the latter an overwhelming advantage.

Instead of doing this, he might as well think of a way to make money sooner.

After all, there is only one premise for the fact that being poor is not scary, and that is that it is not me who is poor.

Speaking of this, he searched his trouser pockets and took out a look. Two hundred and seventy-six yuan was a bit too little, but what he thought in his heart was: Lu Changge, you have to stand up this time!
