Fang Wei's excitement when he came to Nanling had long passed. He felt that he had been away from his hometown for a long time, and his longing for his hometown was increasing. At this time of year, the climate in his hometown slowly warmed up. On the hillside of the sun, the snow should melt, revealing the red and black land, and green has grown.

In the shade of the mountain, although the wind is shining, the power of the cold is gradually fading. The warm snow water in the rising sun flows down the valley, melts the hard snow layer, and the white waterfall frozen on the rocks also begins to move. The sound of flowing water is getting louder and louder day by day. Finally, a surging rushing stream rushes down the mountain and flows into the river. The ice layer in the river breaks into pieces and flows downwards.

A wave of warm wind, with the news of rebirth and prosperity, spread to almost every corner. The green mountains and the fields were green, and the earth had woken up from its sleep. The spring seedlings in the fields were like women of spring, dancing their tender green clothes.

The willow branches on the river bank reveal goose yellow leaves. In a few days, flowers will bloom all over the mountains and fields, and catkins will also dance with the wind, which is really in line with Su Shi's poem; "When catkins fly, flowers will fill the city."

After nearly a month of suffering, Fang Wei finally waited for good news. The state-owned enterprise introduced by his fellow villager and uncle, who had good working conditions and benefits. At the same time, Fang Wei was also hired by several private enterprises, Hong Kong-funded and Taiwanese-funded enterprises.

After careful consideration, Fang Wei made a choice that suited his expectations; domestic enterprises were well treated but lacked vitality, and Taiwanese enterprises were a little stingy and finally decided to go to Hong Kong enterprises.

In the evening, Fang Wei came to his fellow villager's uncle's house and shared his thoughts in a negotiated tone. The fellow villager expressed his understanding and support, and said, "Young people should be like this, have the spirit of making a move. Private enterprises can train people, which is good for future development. Although state-owned enterprises are good, there are still many disadvantages that are difficult to solve at present."

He looked at Fang Wei, paused for a moment, and continued, "The reform and opening up time was not long, and it was only a matter of just starting out. Hong Kong and Taiwan capital accounted for more than 80% of the total amount of foreign investment attracted. Foreign-invested enterprises came to us, mainly for processing materials, sample processing, assembly of parts and compensation for trade, which is what we often say, "three to one supplement." Among them, labor-intensive enterprises such as home appliances, toys, clothes, shoes and socks, and prints occupy an important position. Lingnan City has developed from a small fishing village to its current scale, and after a lot of hard work, it is not easy. The industries such as factories, commerce, and construction have flourished and absorbed millions of labor. The reform and opening up started

In the stage, all ministries and commissions implemented the central will of the most firmly and took the lead in investing in Lingnan, playing a leading role. The three-way and one-level infrastructure construction were vigorously carried out, so that high-rise buildings, factories, and markets were built everywhere. Lingnan achieved unprecedented prosperity, and the eyes of merchants from all over the world were focused on us. It can be said that this is a miracle in human history. Of course, it is still in the stage of exploration, and some problems may arise in some areas that are not in place. In the face of new things, there is no experience to follow, and it is normal to have some problems. On the way forward, you can only cross the river by feeling the stones. People will make mistakes, let alone a city or a country."

The fellow villager and uncle are used to speak words and have the tone of a leader. When it comes to being excited, they forget that it is in their own home. The fellow villager and uncle are in a very good mood and do not obviously put themselves in the leadership position, just like a father chatting with his children.

That night, the fellow villager talked a lot about the domestic and international situation, and they were having a lot of chatting, and it passed midnight without realizing it...

A few days later, Fang Wei went to work in a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, and he clearly felt that the management model was completely different from that of mainland enterprises. Fang Wei worked in a strange and fresh environment and was still a little uncomfortable at first, and mistakes were inevitable in his work.

As time goes by, Fang Wei slowly adapted to the intense and busy work and did it easily.

After a few months, Fang Wei became familiar with his colleagues and got along well with each other. He learned that his colleagues were renting houses outside, and none of them stayed in hotels like him.

Most of my colleagues rent houses near the factory, and a few people live far away. People who live far away from the factory all have cars or motorcycles.

Near the factory, renting a house is not expensive, it is much cheaper than staying in a hotel, and you can also cook by yourself, saving a lot of money every month.

Fang Wei also knew that staying in a hotel is not a long-term thing, and having to eat outside is too expensive. The monthly salary will cost more than half. If this continues, it is difficult to guarantee that it will be 80% of the salary to parents.

Fang Wei made up his mind to rent a house as soon as possible to relieve financial pressure and ensure the living expenses of his family.

Fang Wei used his rest time to wander around for a few days, looked at several rental houses, and finally chose a Chaoyang house with good conditions in all aspects. He negotiated with the landlord and paid the rent. On the day the room was cleaned, he moved in.

Fang Wei finally found his residence near the factory, and his wandering heart was settled.

One Sunday, Fang Wei got up early, rushed to the vegetable market to buy things, and prepared to invite his colleagues to have dinner at noon.

Fang Wei had just bought good vegetables, but suddenly it started to rain heavily. He forgot to bring an umbrella when he went out, so he had to find a place to shelter from the rain and wait for the rain to stop.

Fang Wei waited for almost an hour, and it was still raining outside the shed, and the dark clouds in the sky were rolling like crazy, as if they were about to swallow the earth.

Fang Wei looked outside anxiously and thought to himself that it seemed that the rain could not stop for a while, so he could only wait helplessly.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Fang Wei had no choice but to walk back and forth. At this time, someone was carrying something and walking quickly, almost colliding with him head-on.

The two of them stood there at the same time. Fang Wei was about to apologize, but he looked up and was stunned. The person in front of him was also stunned, looking at each other awkwardly.

Fang Wei suddenly met her and couldn't react for a moment. He was at a loss. He didn't know what to say, staring at him foolishly. She was also a little surprised. Seeing Fang Wei keeping looking at him, her lips moved, as if she was about to speak, but her face turned red first without saying anything.

Fang Wei hesitated for a moment and took the initiative to speak, "Sorry, I almost bumped into you, are you here to buy vegetables?"

She was a little restrained, just nodded, and said nothing, turning her head unnaturally to look elsewhere. Fang Wei talked to herself, as if he was talking to her; "It was raining so hard, I don't know when I can stop, I'm trapped here, and I can't go home."

"When I went out, the weather was fine and the rain fell as soon as I said it was. It seemed that I couldn't stop for a while." She replied.

"The weather is just like a child's face, it's hard to figure out, it changes as soon as you say it." He echoed.

"Yes, this is the weather in Lingnan, and it's hard to predict," she said.

After a while, the heavy rain turned the streets and alleys into surging rivers. From a distance, it looked like countless wild horses running wildly, impacting the houses on both sides of the street.

The shop owner stood naked in the rain, busy raising the threshold with sandbags, trying to block the flood from flowing into the house.

The rain kept falling, mixed with lightning and rolling thunder, and it became heavier and heavier, as if the sky broke the embankment and poured its anger into the world.

The clouds are getting thicker, darker and lower, and are shrouded in the earth. The city becomes darker, and the tall buildings in the distance and nearby buildings seem to be about to disappear into the white rain.

"It seems that the rain cannot stop, and going home has become a problem." Fang Wei said worriedly.

She saw that Fang Wei was a little anxious, and felt that this was a good opportunity that should not be missed, and asked, "Where do you live? Isn't it far away?"

"It's not too far, I'll be there after two turns." Fang Wei replied.

"What's the name of where you live?" she asked.

"Guangming Village." Fang Wei replied.

"I happened to drive by there and I can take you there," she said.

"Thank you! I won't bother you. Anyway, today is Sunday, so I don't have to go to work. I have time. I'll talk about it when the rain stops." Fang Wei said.

In fact, she and Fang Wei had the same doubts. Since she first met Fang Wei in a restaurant, she felt familiar. She thought about it many times after returning home, but couldn't remember where she had seen it, and she also wanted to find the answer.

She told her thoughts to several of her best friends, and she got a joke-like answer; "Did you think about men crazy? When you see a handsome guy, you seem to have seen them in your dreams."

After receiving a teasing answer from her best friend, she was helpless and angry and could not turn against her best friend. She had to put her idea of ​​inquiry.

She never cared about housework, such as shopping for groceries, and all the nanny did it. Today, for some reason, she came to the vegetable market by chance, but it started raining heavily and met him by chance. This was really destiny.

She couldn't miss this opportunity, and had to figure out the doubts in her heart, so she spoke, "There is no need to be polite. A big man, if you get into my car, can you eat you?"

She opened the umbrella without hesitation and signaled Fang Wei to follow her, looking at him with a firm and uncontradictory look. Fang Wei felt that her sincerity was something he could not ask for. He suppressed the little excitement in his heart and followed her quickly into the rain.

After getting in the car, she put away the umbrella, shook the water from the umbrella, looked at Fang Wei in the passenger seat, and said, "I'm going out for a walk today, but I didn't expect it to rain so hard, and I originally planned to waste my life."

"So too. I plan to go to the city after lunch and prepare some daily necessities for the next week. It seems that I can't go." Fang Wei said.

The two looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and she asked, "Where are you from?"

"Hedong native." Fang Wei replied.

"Which county is from?" she asked.

"Xingping County." Fang Wei said.

Hearing the three words Xingping County, she didn't believe her ears. She hesitated for a moment, opened her eyes wide, looked at Fang Wei for a while, and asked in a suspicious tone, "Is your hometown really from Xingping County?"

"This is still fake. Can I lie to you?" Fang Wei said.

"I don't mean anything else, I just feel a little strange." She saw Fang Wei a little puzzled, and continued, "When I was a child, I lived in Xingping County for several years. I went to Fangcun School in elementary and junior high schools."

"I am from Fang Village and I am also at Fang Village School..." Before Fang Wei finished speaking, she hurriedly stopped the car, stopped on the side of the road, calmed down, stared at Fang Wei with both eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

Fang Wei said his name; "The surname is Fang, his name is Fang Wei, and those who know me are called Xiaowei." Before she could speak, Fang Wei asked back, "What is your name?"

She replied, "Xiaoli!"

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Fang Wei said excitedly, "No wonder that the northern restaurant near the railway station was the first time I saw you. I felt so familiar. I seemed to have seen you somewhere. I just couldn't remember it. I always wanted to find an opportunity to ask clearly. I couldn't find a suitable opportunity. Today I was fulfilling my wish."

"So too!" she said; "I also felt familiar when I saw you in a restaurant one day. When I returned home, I thought about it but couldn't remember where I had seen you. Especially after knowing that you were from the north, I became more curious and wanted to find an opportunity to ask clearly. A few months later, I didn't meet you again in a restaurant, and I felt a little disappointed. It was God's will to meet you today."

She asked anxiously again, "Where have you been going in the past few months? What have you been doing? Why don't you go to that restaurant for dinner?"

Driven by her impatient mood, she asked one question after another, and Fang Wei did not give her any chance to reply.

Two childhood playmates met again on a magnificent morning on a heavy rainy morning. The excitement of the two was self-evident.

Fang Wei remembered that when he was a child, his teacher often asked him to recite Tang poetry, Song lyrics and some famous quotes, and used four of them to describe it. It is most appropriate to meet them after more than ten years; 'On the wedding night, when the golden list was titled, I met sweet rain for a long time, and I met an old friend in a foreign land'. "Meeting an old friend in a foreign land" best reflects the excitement of the two at this time.

Fang Wei talked about the difficulties and setbacks he encountered over the past few months of finding a job. Fang Wei described it in detail.
