Chapter 10 has finally arrived.
I sat there for almost a day and a night.
Around 5 a.m., the car came to an abrupt stop.
Vaguely, Ma Junjie heard rustling sounds coming from inside the car.
Just then, "smack!" Ma Li slapped him and yelled.
"Get up quickly, we've arrived!"
"We've arrived?" Ma Junjie was relieved, or perhaps a little dazed, and quickly stood up.
At one stop, without noticing, my head hit the overhead luggage rack hard.
He cried out, clutching his head.
Ma Li giggled and said, "Ah Jie, don't get excited!"
"Once you get to the city, this is just the beginning. Don't dream of getting rich overnight; bigger difficulties await you."
He sighed again,
"City life isn't as easy as you might imagine; in fact, it's no easier than life in the countryside!"
"Really?" Ma Junjie didn't quite agree with Ma Li's words.
Because he felt that no life could be more unbearable than being looked down upon by Liu Dongmei.
At least now, he no longer needs to worry about what others think; he can do whatever he wants and be free.
He helped Ma Li with her luggage, then slung his own woven bag over his shoulder and urged her on.
"Sister Li, let's go, let's get off the bus! I can't wait!"
Ma Li smiled and shook her head.
A short while later, they followed the flow of people out of the bus station.
Ma Junjie's first impression was, "Wow, there are so many people in this city!"
The houses here are significantly taller, even taller than the houses in my own county town.
He looked around, finding everything around him very new and exciting.
As they walked, Ma Li called out.
"Ah Jie, don't go anymore, I'm hungry, let me eat something first!"
After saying that, he walked into a breakfast shop next door and sat down.
Ma Junjie followed with a smile, put his things down next to the table, and sat down as well.
At the same time, he still couldn't shake the habit of looking around, his face was radiant, and he smiled at everyone he saw.
Ma Li frowned, picked up a chopstick, and tapped it on the table.
"Knock knock!"
He reminded,
"Ah Jie, stop looking around like that and grinning like an idiot! People will immediately know you're from the countryside and they'll bully you!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie's smile faded.
He asked in confusion,
"Do city dwellers really behave this way?"
Ma Li was speechless and too lazy to talk to him anymore. She waved to a waiter.
"Give me some stir-fried rice noodles, with an egg!"
"Okay!" the waiter replied as he came over.
Then he looked at Ma Junjie and asked him,
"Handsome, what would you like to eat?"
"Handsome guy?" Ma Junjie looked up at the waiter.
The waitress was a plump middle-aged woman. Seeing that Ma Junjie hadn't answered, she became somewhat impatient.
Raise your voice.
"Hey, what are you eating? Tell me!"
Ma Junjie thought for a moment, then mimicked Ma Li's words and said...
"Rice noodles, stir-fried rice noodles, add..."
"Okay, okay, I got it!" The waiter turned and left, then shouted at the chef.
"Two servings of rice noodles with eggs!"
Ma Li, listening from the side, could only laugh.
Soon, the stir-fried rice noodles arrived. It was Ma Junjie's first time trying them, and he found them delicious.
While eating, I suddenly remembered something, so I bent down to look for something.
Ma Li asked,
"Hey, Ah-Jie, what are you doing?"
After searching for a while, Ma Junjie suddenly looked up, holding a bag in his hand.
He said excitedly,
"Sister Li, look what this is?"
Ma Li glanced at it and realized it was the steamed buns her mother had packed for Ma Junjie.
Ma Junjie said with some regret,
"What a pity, I completely forgot to eat on the way here. Luckily, I remembered now!"
He quickly opened the bag, took one out, and handed it to Ma Li.
Ma Li waved her hands repeatedly, then pushed Ma Junjie's hand away, saying with disdain,
"It's so hot outside, and it's been sitting for a whole day and night, it's already spoiled. Throw it away, throw it away!"
Ma Junjie held the steamed bun and examined it carefully, then suddenly put it in his mouth and took a big bite.
I was a little choked up.
However, he still stammered as he spoke.
"It's...it's not bad, it tastes delicious..."
Ma Li let out a "Huh?" and showed disdain.
At this moment, several guests and waiters all looked in their direction.
Ma Li felt incredibly ashamed. She lowered her head, quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice noodles, wiped her mouth, and stood up.
"Ah Jie, I'm waiting for you outside, hurry up!"
"Uh, uh..." Ma Junjie burped a few times in response.
"Okay...okay."
Ma Li waited outside for a while before Ma Junjie came out.
Ma Li glanced at it and noticed that Ma Junjie had already eaten half of the large bag of steamed buns.
At this moment, Ma Junjie was preparing to put the rest into the woven bag.
After putting the steamed buns away, he asked Ma Li,
"Sister Li, this stir-fried rice noodles are delicious. How much do you want? I'll pay you."
Ma Li waved her hand, "It's not expensive, only 5 yuan, it's on me!"
Ma Junjie whispered,
"Isn't this expensive?"
Ma Li sighed, suddenly wanting nothing more than to get rid of Ma Junjie as soon as possible, and said impatiently,
"Alright, let's go quickly. Let's go to my place and put my things down first!"
"After you put your things down, I'll help you find a room, then I'll find you a job!"
Ma Junjie smiled happily.
"Okay, okay!"
"Sister Li, you're so kind!"
Ma Li turned her head, her face stern, and said...
"Let's go!"
After saying that, he quickly walked forward.
Ma Junjie was dragging Ma Li's suitcase, carrying his own woven bag, and wearing worn-out flip-flops.
beaming with joy,
Follow quickly.
After walking for a while, Ma Li hailed a motorcycle, and the two of them got on and sped along the road.
After about ten minutes, the motorcycle stopped, and Ma Li got off to pay.
Ma Junjie clearly saw that the fare was 8 yuan.
He silently marveled to himself, "This big city is truly different; it's practically overflowing with opportunities!"
If all else fails, I'll sell fried rice noodles myself, or I'll ride a motorcycle.
With just five to eight yuan a month, a person can earn almost as much as their brother in a year of farming in the countryside!
Ma Junjie watched the motorcycle drive away with a flourish, his eyes filled with envy.
Ma Li shouted,
"Ah Jie, stop spacing out, let's go!"
Ma Junjie snapped out of his daze and replied, "Okay, coming, coming!"
Ma Li led the way, with Ma Junjie following behind.
He noticed that the houses here were densely packed, with very close proximity between them.
Walking into the alley is like entering a dense, dark mountain, giving one a sense of oppression.
For some reason, Ma Junjie suddenly recalled the boundless rice paddies he had left home.
"Okay, we're here!" Ma Li said as she took out her keys to open the door.
Ma Junjie looked around and realized that it was clearly a private house.
The houses are low, only one story high, but they come with a small yard. Compared to the tall buildings next to them,
He still prefers this place.
Ma Li opened the door and said...
"Alright, let's go in."
Ma Junjie smiled and went inside.
As soon as you step inside, a refreshing and delightful fragrance wafts towards you...
