"You may not know how much of an inspiration it is to our students in Yiwu since you became the top scorer in the college entrance examination. My classmates all regard you as their goal. It's a pity that in last year's college entrance examination, our Yiwu
There will never be another person who does as well as you do."
Along the way, Qiu Yingjie kept talking to Zhou Chen. However, his emotional intelligence was obviously online. Although he talked a lot, he did not bore Zhou Chen.
This is mainly because Qiu Yingjie always complimented him without appearing humble. Even a person like Zhou Chen, who has lived for so many years, felt good listening to it.
"I have seen the prosperity of the capital, and then look at Yiwu. It is really too poor and backward."
Having said this, Qiu Yingjie showed a melancholy expression.
He is different from those college students who are unwilling to leave after seeing the prosperous big cities. He is a person who misses his family. After seeing the prosperity of the capital, what he thinks more about is that after graduation, he must return to his hometown and build his hometown.
.
Zhou Chen knew what Yiwu would be like in later generations, so he consoled him: "Yiwu is lagging behind now, but it will not be certain in the future. I believe that one day, Yiwu will become a nationally famous city."
He did not speak too fully, because except for himself, I am afraid no one would believe that Yiwu, which is still very poor now, will become the largest small commodity wholesale market in the world in the future.
To be honest, this matter is really full of fantasy. Who would have thought that a small Yiwu would have such great development potential.
Qiu Yingjie smiled happily and said, "Well, I also believe there will be such a day."
Then the two chatted about life in the capital. Unlike Zhou Chen who ran around, although Qiu Yingjie had a cheerful personality, he rarely left school and spent 99% of his time in school.
More time is spent studying hard.
Qiu Yingjie majored in economics, while Zhou Chen also randomly majored in economics in this life.
The reason why he chose economics is because he already has enough knowledge in this area, which allows him to cope with the courses easily, thus leaving more time for him to do other things. He does not want to be tied to school all the time.
Study here.
Although he majored in economics, he often went to attend classes in other majors, especially courses in the Department of Foreign Languages.
For him, learning more foreign languages ​​will definitely be helpful in the future.
Along the way, the people around Zhou Chen and the others changed a lot, and sometimes there were vacancies, but the two of them remained unchanged.
Zhou Chen was in good spirits, and he regained his energy after just squinting for a short while, while Qiu Yingjie was relatively tired, having slept for six or seven hours, but still seemed not very energetic.
"Brother Zhou, where are we?"
Qiu Yingjie rubbed his eyes, moved his stiff neck, looked at the scenery outside the window, and asked Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "It's estimated that we'll be there in three or four hours."
"It's almost there, that's great."
Qiu Yingjie looked happy. Although his parents were gone, there were still many villagers in his hometown in Yiwu. When he went to college, the villagers gave him money. Since he went to college, he has not been back for a year.
, I came back a year later, and I was naturally very excited.
Qiu Yingjie was a young man with ideals and ambitions. Zhou Chen could see this from the TV series. It was especially admirable that Qiu Yingjie gave up a better future for the sake of the construction of his hometown, and even got sick and died for it.
In this complex society, there are really very few people who can be as selfless as Qiu Yingjie, who devote everything to the country and his hometown.
After Qiu Yingjie regained consciousness, he discussed economics with Zhou Chen. He found that Zhou Chen knew much more than he did. Chatting with Zhou Chen always benefited him a lot.
"I'm going to use the toilet." Qiu Yingjie greeted Zhou Chen and left his seat.
When the train entered Wuzhou City, there were obviously fewer people on the train. The people in the seats next to Zhou Chen and Qiu Yingjie had already left at the previous station, and no one had sat there yet.
The conductor came again to check the tickets. Technology is not developed these days, so it is too easy to book tickets, so the conductor will come to check the tickets every once in a while. If you are found to have no tickets, you must replace them. If you don't, I'm sorry, and you will be taken away directly.
.
Zhou Chen had a ticket, so he was naturally not nervous, but he did see a few people fleeing to other carriages in a panic after seeing the conductor, including the vendor who had just sold him eggs.
Shaking his head, Zhou Chen didn't care at all. It would probably take several years to put an end to this phenomenon.
Suddenly, someone sat down next to him. Zhou Chen thought it was Qiu Yingjie who had returned, but when he turned around, he saw that it was a stranger.
I saw this man timidly hiding his face, wearing ragged clothes, the back of his exposed hands was pitch black, and his hair was messy. He looked no better than a beggar.
"Brother, help me, let me hide for a while."
The hoarse voice sounded, and Zhou Chen immediately knew that this person must be a fare evader. Although he felt that this kind of behavior was not good, he did not want to meddle in other people's business.
But just when he was about to speak, he inadvertently saw this person's profile, and with that glance, he was stunned.
"you……"
Zhou Chen was extremely shocked, but when he saw the conductor approaching, he immediately stood up.
"You go inside."
"Thank you, brother, thank you."
Zhou Chen could clearly see the whole face of this person. Even though he was dressed as a tomboy, with short hair and dust on his face, the outline of his appearance made him extremely familiar.
He endured the shock, let the other person sit inside, and waited for the conductor to arrive.
The man sitting inside curled up and faced the window, pretending to be asleep.
Zhou Chen still looked at her, like, it was so similar. If he hadn't been sure that he had traveled through time again, he would have thought that he had returned to that world.
The conductor quickly found this place, and the three people on the opposite side all took out their tickets. When it was Zhou Chen's turn, Zhou Chen calmly took out a ticket.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, we are together. This is his ticket. I lost my ticket when I went to the toilet just now and couldn't find it."
The conductor took the ticket and looked at Zhou Chen warily. If Zhou Chen hadn't looked handsome, had an outstanding temperament and was fashionably dressed, he would have called someone immediately.
"How do you prove it?"
Zhou Chen calmly took out a student ID card from his pocket: "Comrade, look, this is my student ID card. I'm a student at Peking University. I'm going home for vacation this time. I really won't evade the fare just for a ticket.
I really lost it."
As soon as the conductor heard the words "Beijing University", his expression changed instantly. There are probably not many people in the country who don't know about Peking University, a famous domestic university. This is the ceiling of domestic universities.
He took the student ID card from Zhou Chen. As expected, the student ID card said that he was a student of Peking University's Class of 1977. It couldn't be faked.
So his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
"Comrade, return your student ID card. I'm sure you won't evade fares."
But Zhou Chen said: "It doesn't matter. It is indeed my responsibility if the ticket is lost. In this case, I am going to Yiwu, so you can give me a replacement ticket."
When the conductor heard this, he became even more excited: "You are from Yiwu, and I am from next to Yiwu. We are half fellow villagers. I will give you a replacement ticket now."
Zhou Chen took out the money, but the conductor refused: "Forget the money, there are not two stops left anyway."
"How can this be done? It's my responsibility if the ticket is lost. I still have to pay the money that should be paid. If you don't accept it, I won't feel sorry for you."
"Oh well."
The conductor collected the money, issued the ticket, chatted with Zhou Chen for a few more words, and then went to work again.
After Zhou Chen collected the money and student ID card, he saw that the people inside had turned their heads and were looking at him curiously.
"Thank you."
Looking at this familiar face, Zhou Chen felt mixed emotions in his heart, and with a gentle expression, he said softly: "You're welcome, just sit here with peace of mind. No one will bother you again before we get to Yiwu."
Luo Yuzhu looked at Zhou Chen strangely. She felt that this man, who looked very talented, looked at her in a very strange way.
In the past, she only saw disgust and ridicule in the eyes of others, but in this person's eyes, she could not see any of that. Instead, she felt very gentle, yes, gentle.
But this made her even more strange. She had just heard clearly that this man was still a college student at Peking University. He and she were from completely different worlds. How could he be gentle to her?
But just now Zhou Chen helped her and bought her a ticket. This is an indisputable fact.
However, the experience of being sold by her father and stepmother since she was a child made her very wary of everyone in the world. Even if this man had just helped him, she was still very wary.
The other person kept staring at her face, which made her wary and at the same time, her heart was beating rapidly and she was very nervous.
She doesn't think that Zhou Chen 'covets' her beauty, because she knows very well how ugly and embarrassed she is now, and it's not an exaggeration to call her a beggar.
After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask: "Why do you want to help me?"
"Just a casual thing."
Zhou Chen woke up from his trance and smiled slightly. He had just thought of countless possibilities and finally settled on an answer.
He remembered that in the real world, Zheng Juan in the human world and Luo Yuzhu in Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky were played by the same actor. Although he had determined that Zheng Juan was different from the actor in reality, the person in front of him...
It made him suspicious.
To be continued...
