Hualin is just a small town standing at the northeast end of the vast territory of China.

The three northeastern provinces are the largest industrial base in the country. Although Hualin is not big, one Hualin Steel can support tens of thousands of people. It is the largest enterprise in the entire Hualin. Once upon a time, it was quite famous even in the entire three northeastern provinces.

However, as the spring breeze of reform and opening up blows across the land of China and reaches the birch forest, Huagang, which is still clinging to the original methods and not asking for flexibility, will inevitably be eliminated by history.

In 1997, in Hualin, next to the Hua Steel Factory, in the kitchen behind a restaurant with only a simple sign on the street, a young man who was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes while lying on a camp bed.

His eyes, which were like dots of lacquer, shined brightly like stars.

The young man suddenly straightened up and sat on the cot.

In 1997! Both of his parents were employees of Hua Steel Factory. They had worked in Huagang all their lives. His father was killed in an accident. At that time, Wang Zhong was still young, so his mother took over his father’s work. She got seriously ill last year. In the winter

He passed away before it was over.

In recent years, Huagang's efficiency has become worse and worse. It has not hired workers for several years in a row. Wang Zhong has not been able to take over his mother's work, and he is not willing to hang around doing nothing, so he simply uses the little money left at home to invest.

After working in this restaurant, although I didn't make much money, it was enough to support myself.

"Xiao Zhong!"

"Xiao Zhong!"

"In the store?"

Just as Wang Zhong came to his senses, a familiar yet unfamiliar shout came from outside the shop.

I walked to the front and opened the door of the shop, only to see a short, fat, middle-aged man with a happy face standing at the door.

"You're here!" The middle-aged man was obviously a little surprised when he saw Wang Zhong. He pulled Wang Zhong and walked straight inside.

"Uncle Xiang!" The middle-aged man is none other than Wang Xiang, one of the elderly iron triangle and the star of this drama. Wang Xiang is only forty now, so he can be said to be in his prime.

The identity assigned to Wang Zhong by the system is that of Wang Xiang's distant relative, someone who has already joined the fifth server. Since Wang Zhong and Wang Zhong have both been working on life in Huagang in this world, with this relationship, it is inevitable that he will be closer than other colleagues.

Wang Xiang is also a man of justice. After Wang Zhong's father left, he has been helping to take care of Wang Zhong and his mother. It was Wang Xiang who helped to set up this small restaurant.

"When I went to work in the morning, I heard someone say that they saw you, but I didn't see you coming back. I was wondering if you were designated to be here."

"When did you come back?"

"Last night!" Wang Zhong replied based on the memory provided by the system.

"Did you learn anything when you went out this time?" This is the question that Wang Xiang is most concerned about.

"I learned a lot, why don't you come back immediately?"

Wang Xiang looked at Wang Zhong and said directly: "I've been gone for several months without sending a letter home, and when I came back I didn't even make a phone call in advance. Tell me, do you treat your uncle as an outsider?"

"Uncle, you have misunderstood me. Didn't I just come back? I haven't had time yet!" Wang Zhong explained with an aggrieved look: "I was busy rushing all the way, but it didn't exhaust me to death. If you hadn't been here,

If someone calls me outside, I don’t know when I will wake up.”

Wang Xiang smiled and said: "Don't be such a mouthful, I don't know you yet! Okay, I still have to go to work. Remember to go home for dinner in the evening. Your aunt is talking about you every day!"

"Then you go to work quickly. I'll go there by myself in the evening." Wang Zhong respectfully sent Wang Xiang out of the door.

According to the memory provided by the system, I am older than Wang Yang. I am twenty-one this year. It is already the end of July and almost August. Wang Yang's college entrance examination has ended long ago. I guess the results will be out by now.

The memory given by the system doesn't remember much about Wang Yang. I remember him as a runny-nosed little kid who was disgusted by others and followed him around for a long time.

Not far from Huagang is Hualin Health Vocational College, which people in Hualin like to call Huayi, which is the school where Shen Mo and Qu Bo will report soon.

It's late July and almost August now, it's summer vacation, and it's still a while before school starts. Shen Shen probably hasn't come to Hualin yet.

Wang Zhong calmed down, clarified his thoughts, and simply packed up the camp bed and the luggage beside the bed. This start was much better than many dungeons.

Although the house in the restaurant is rented, after paying one year's rent and signing a three-year contract, there is still more than 5,000 yuan in the bankbook in my memory. The things in the bankbook are all left to Wang Chong by his parents who passed away in this world.

legacy.

I took out all the cash on my body and sorted it out briefly. The total number of zeros and zeros totaled more than two hundred, and the total net worth was less than six thousand. In future generations, it would not be anything, but at this time, it is still considered a fortune.

A considerable deposit.

There is no need to trouble Wang Zhong to find a way to get the start-up capital and go back and forth.

After tidying up the inside and outside of the restaurant, Wang Zhong entered Huagang in the afternoon carrying a bag of fruits.

The identity arranged by the system is that he is a son of Huagang. Although he was not able to take over his parents' class and work at Huagang, the dormitory assigned to Wang Zhong's family in the factory was still not taken back. After all, Wang Zhong's mother in this world has only been gone for a year.

, and Hua Steel has been in decline over the years, and has not recruited workers for several years. After all, the parents of this world have worked in Hua Steel all their lives, and both lives have been invested in it. Naturally, it is not easy for Hua Steel to make such a bird.

After finishing Gong Zang's matter, Wang Zhong was kicked out of Huagang dormitory.

In fact, there are many young people like Wang Zhong who still live in the Huagang dormitory area despite their parents being away.

But what he does is completely different.

Wang Zhong at least learned their craft and opened a restaurant. Although his business was average, he was still a regular businessman. However, the other young people who could not stand up had watched a few young and confused movies from Xiangjiang.

The movie was very poisoned. A group of people got together, either stealing or bullying, fighting, and doing some illegal things, which made people hate them.

They came to the dormitory area and knocked on the door of Wang Xiang's house. The person who opened the door was Wang Xiang's son Wang Yang, that unfortunate and miserable young man.

"Brother!" Seeing Wang Zhong, Wang Yang was very surprised, and even more happy: "When did you come back?"

"yesterday!"

"Come in quickly!"

"Come in quickly!"

"Yang'er, who is it?" The voice of Wang Yang's mother, Luo Meisu, came from the kitchen.

"Mom! Brother Chong is here!"

"Xiao Zhong?" Luo Meisu saw Wang Zhong, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes wrinkled up with laughter.

"Auntie!"

"Does your uncle know you are back?"

"I know, Uncle Xiang went to my store at noon!"

"You and Yang'er chat for a while, and I'll go cook!" Luo Meisu entered the kitchen, and Wang Yang took Wang Zhong and sat down to chat.

"Brother, how are you doing at your craft?"

"What do you think?" Wang Zhong smiled slightly and said mysteriously.

Wang Yang said: "Then you must have learned it. With your ability, you just learned how to cook. That's not a piece of cake!"

The identity arranged by the system is that his mother has been bedridden all year round. Wang Zhong has been very independent since he was a child, and his cooking, cooking and laundry are ordinary.

"It's okay! When I come back this time, I plan to pick up the restaurant, get a new sign, and reopen it!"

"Business will definitely be booming this time!" Wang Yang patted the horse, but he didn't mean it against his will. After all, Wang Zhong's reputation among the younger generation of Huagang was built with a pair of iron fists. Unfortunately, Wang Zhong has never been like this.

Take the initiative to stir up trouble, as long as you don't provoke him, bully others and don't let him see you.

"Uncle Xiang said that you failed the college entrance examination?" Wang Zhong changed the subject and looked at Wang Yang with a smile on his face.

The smile on Wang Yang's face froze instantly. He lowered his head and rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, and said sheepishly: "I'm not good at studying!"

Wang Zhongdao: "What are your plans? I see that Uncle Xiang wants you to repeat your studies?"

Wang Yang immediately shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said: "Brother, you know me. I am not a student at all. I know those words individually, but if they are crowded together, just looking at them makes me dizzy."

How can I learn if I'm sleepy?"

"You!" Wang Zhong looked at Wang Yang and said with some emotion: "I think Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xiang take good care of you. You obviously have the opportunity to study, but you refuse to cherish it. In the countryside, many children want to

I don’t even have the chance to study. I either work in the fields, farm and herd cattle, or I go all the way to the south to work.”

"I also want to work!" Wang Yang faced Wang Zhong's gaze that seemed to penetrate people's hearts and said urgently and seriously: "I want to make money."

Wang Zhong probably guessed what Wang Yang was thinking. It was just that his mother Luo Meisu was in poor health. She spent tens of thousands of dollars on an operation the year before last, which wiped out the little money the family had finally saved.

Although relatives and friends borrowed a lot, the factory has not reimbursed them so far. Although the debts originally borrowed have been paid off gradually over the past few years, Lao Wang's family's financial resources are also empty, and they have not yet made up for it.

After failing the college entrance examination, Wang Yang was relieved and eager to work to make money and help his parents share the pressure.

Wang Zhong looked at the kitchen, patted Wang Yang on the shoulder and said, "Let's talk about this later."

Wang Yang also knew what Wang Zhong meant. It was simply that both his mother and father were looking forward to Wang Yang repeating his studies, taking the college entrance examination, and achieving a leap from the dragon's gate.

"Brother, how is your restaurant? When do you plan to reopen?" Wang Yang changed the subject and turned to care about Wang Zhonglai.

"It will take a while. Once I have learned the craft, I will also need to decorate the restaurant. At least the sign will need to be changed. And I will definitely not be able to do it by myself. I will have to hire a few people to help."

"Brother, how about I go help you for a while?" Wang Yang volunteered.

"You?" Wang Zhong looked Wang Yang up and down: "The person I want to recruit is to serve tea, water, and vegetables, wash vegetables, dishes, tidy up the table, and clean up. Can you do it?"

"Why can't I do it!" Wang Yang was unhappy: "You're looking down on people, aren't you? I help my mother with a lot of work at home!"

"Mom, do you think so?" Wang Yang shouted toward the kitchen.

"That's true!" Luo Meisu poked half of her head out of the kitchen: "My son's job is really good."

"Well, as long as Uncle Xiang and my aunt don't have any objections, you can come over!"

"okay!"
