If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 286 Life
Every document in the blue folder was placed on the table and stacked together. Lin Nian turned the pages quickly, and his eyes scanned the documents as quickly as a scanner, and he would read the document in almost five seconds. Put it in another stack.

Su Xiaoqiang was not surprised to see him like this. Almost no one in Class 1 of Senior High School knew that Lin Nian had a particularly good memory. Discussed several times. I heard that the school intends to push him to the city to participate in the memory competition, and even considered letting him appear in variety shows, but he declined. The reason is that learning is the most important thing, but the specific reason is probably only him. Only then is it clear.

"Chu Tianjiao probably settled in this city in 1988. At that time, our city had not yet developed and everyone was poor, but it was in the city after all, so many people from the countryside flocked in to try their luck. Chance, he probably belongs to this category.” Su Xiaoqiang looked at Lin Nian who was flipping through the documents and repeated the original words of the uncle who helped her to check the documents, “At that time, our side was still very backward, and the streets were full of Red brick walls, the street is full of comic booths, pool tables and a hair salon with photos of Gong Li and Andy Lau."

"It's hard to have a sense of substitution." Lin Nian said, "But Chu Zihang was born in 1990, which proves that Chu Tianjiao had indeed arrived in this city 90 years ago and met Su Xiaoyan, also known as Chu Zihang. His mother has lived in this city for nearly 20 years?"

"A lot of the information we found about him is his application letter. He has been in this city for a long time but has not made a name for himself. In the first few years, he worked in a hair salon and cut other people's hair." Su Xiaoqiang I saw Lin Nian pushing a photo aside.

It was a very old-fashioned yellow photo. The man in it had a pompidou hair that looked like an airplane head, with black hair on his temples. He was wearing a fancy shirt with a black and white T-shirt , with sunglasses on his face, standing in front of the mirror and cutting hair for guests, in a coquettish posture. From the poster hanging on the side, it is not difficult to guess that the man is imitating the rock king "Elvis Presley", with his muscles flowing in the sun With crystal sweat, probably many female guests would come here to ask him to wash his hair.

"But it's a pity that the barber shop closed down because of improper management. It may be related to his aesthetics. At that time, people could not accept the popular hairstyles in the United States. Many people gathered together and smashed his shop." Su Xiaoqiang said.

"Has such a long-term information been found out?" Lin Nian glanced at Su Xiaoqiang.

"Our family has a lot of channels for people investigation." Su Xiaoqiang seldom perfunctory Lin Nian, because it involves some trivial matters of her family background, and it is inevitable that people in the mining business will step on such things both openly and secretly. Some.The mine is dirty, and people who touch the mine will be dirty. For example, Su Xiaoqiang's family has the largest mining company. The resources and circle in the hands of ordinary people are unimaginable. If they want to investigate a person, it only takes half a day to do both. Digging out people clearly, even asking Norma to collect local intelligence may not be comparable to local snakes like them.

What's more, Chu Tianjiao is the person Lin Nian asked her to help find. Normally, she would just notify his father's secretary if there is anything wrong, but this time he specifically found the uncle who was sitting on the human resources bench. Under the pretense of my father looking for someone, he asked him to investigate. After all the energy and business relations were used, the name Chu Tianjiao spread throughout the city within half a day. Hearing Su Xiaoqiang's words in his ears, almost the whole city turned upside down in half a day, and almost all the traces that Chu Tianjiao left in this city that could be found were piled up in front of Lin Nian.

"Later, I heard that I was a rock singer for a period of time, but I couldn't play the popular songs at that time. I was beaten by everyone as reactionary spies sent by foreign countries. My guitar was broken. At that time, there was a video, and there was a commotion. There was a turmoil of "catching spies" for a while, but fortunately he hid well so he was not caught and dealt with as a spy. This incident was first discovered in the local newspaper and he was dug out. The past." Su Xiaoqiang also had a strange expression on his face, it seemed that it was hard to imagine that this man who had been in various embarrassments could be compared with the current Chu Zihang in Shilan.

"In 1990, he got married, and his partner was Su Xiaoyan, a talented girl from the city's dance troupe." Su Xiaoqiang said, Lin Nian, who was across the table, was also looking at the copy of the marriage certificate. The black and white ID photo shows that both of them are passionately in love, and it is printed in black under the date of birth: voluntary marriage, after examination and compliance with the provisions of the Marriage Law of the People's Republic of China on marriage, this certificate will be issued.

“At that time, Chu Tianjiao looked for many jobs, but most of them were temporary workers. My uncle said that it was not easy for young people to find a job in the 90s. The class concept was stronger than now. Farmers are farmers, workers are workers, unless you go The soldier came back and applied for the qualification to enter the factory. Otherwise, only the son or daughter of the worker could become a worker. Chu Tianjiao applied to work in the factory, but he was rejected six or seven times in a row. In the end, he had no choice but to find a temporary Work." Su Xiaoqiang paused as he looked at Lin Nian's yellowed application form for entering the factory, "So during that time he mainly made a living as a coolie."

"Do coolies?"

"To support the family, right? You just got married at the beginning of the year and you have a child a year later, that's Chu Zihang." Su Xiaoqiang also seemed to be immersed in interpreting this man's life. Easy. Probably also the most fulfilling for a while.

There is no grand plan, no lofty ambition. It is just that a lovely child is born with a woman I like, and this is probably the happiest moment in this man's life.

"In order to support his wife and children, he worked as a temporary worker for a long time, but even temporary workers were not so easy to find at that time. He rode a permanent bicycle around the city every day. What did he see? The job is salivating to ask if there is any shortage of people, and will also hand over a very western-style business card. The business card is made by himself in a copy shop, and it costs [-] cents a piece. This information was provided by the Black Prince Group. They even found the remains of the business card."

"You also asked the people from the Black Prince Group?" Lin Nian found a business card that had been soaked and cracked by water in the folder, on which Chu Tianjiao's name and all the business contracted were written. When it comes to music private education, Down to coolies, they can do almost anything and are willing to do anything.

"The people over there helped us find the records from a very long time ago. There is indeed Chu Tianjiao. Although the traces are very shallow, we can usually find out whoever we want to find. As mining is also a construction industry, many people are needed to pick ash buckets and sandstones. One load of two buckets weighs about [-] catties. Chu Tianjiao also applied for the job, and he did a good job, which left a deep impression on many people. impression."

Su Xiaoqiang pulled out a photo from the folder. Lin Nian was slightly moved when he saw the photo. It was a photo of the construction site during the period of large-scale construction. The temporary workers were working with their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky. The leader wearing a construction hat scolded Fang Qiu.But the most eye-catching thing here is the man with the fashionable Elvis hairstyle wearing a tight T-shirt carrying a load of gravel, with a load of 150 kilograms on his shoulders, and he didn't forget to carry it again. Two buckets, carrying a load of about [-] jins and trotting
"Later, I won the Best Temporary Worker Award once because of the restaurant construction of the Black Prince Group, which required a 1000-2000 kg cooking boiler to go up to the second floor. Eight people were hired, and Chu Tianjiao was inside, pushing the 100-jin boiler up to the second floor together with seven other people. Afterwards, the project personnel who came to correct the mistakes saw that the boiler had been set up, and their eyes fell out of shock. Yes. Then a temporary worker award was given to each person, with an extra reward of [-] yuan."

It’s still a picture, eight workers standing together, the most handsome and eye-catching one is Chu Tianjiao, with a big red flower pinned to his chest, showing a confident smile towards the camera. Has your child bought high-quality milk powder?

"But in fact, they did the work of two people, and they should get a reward of 120, so the project person got a kickback of [-]." Lin Nian put aside the information about this matter in his hand and said softly.

He thought about looking for Chu Tianjiao's past, hoping to find clues about 'Odin' from it, but he didn't expect to find the whole life of this man in this city in the end.

"However, his life stabilized later. It happened that the city entered a period of rapid development at that time, the national welfare movement began, and many enterprises sprung up. He also took advantage of this wind to find a stable job."

"Drive for the tax bureau chief?" Lin Nian looked at the photo in his hand. It was taken by a newspaper reporter. A black Shanghai Volkswagen Jetta 2000 was lying in front of a hotel.

Under the background that everyone goes out by bicycle, a good car almost represents all the face of the owner.

It's just that Lin Nian's gaze fell on the corner of the photo from the very beginning and never moved away. There was a man with his hair combed back leaning against the rear of the car smoking a cigarette alone. His face could not be seen clearly in the photo, only his face could be seen. He spits out white smoke at a 45-degree angle with his back to the camera, and the hotel lights reflect mottled light on his oil head. Although he was just driving at that time, he became the finishing touch of this photo. This man But it can always leave people with an alternative sense of style in various eras.

"I heard from my uncle that many people who worked in the tax bureau before remembered him and said that he drove a good car. At that time, the head of the tax bureau could afford a car but not many of them could drive. Several drivers were very good at driving. He timidly feared that his waistband would be scratched a little. But Chu Tianjiao took the initiative to apply for this position at that time, and everyone who had worked on his car said that he was born to be a driver. The driver and the head of the tax bureau have never been late for a meeting." Su Xiaoqiang said.

"He likes Elvis Presley, but at that time there were very few foreign programs broadcast in China. It can only be that he has the experience of studying abroad or traveling abroad. Maybe his driving skills were honed at that time," Lin Nian said.

"But if he returned from studying abroad, he wouldn't have to work as a temporary worker to support the family?" Su Xiaoqiang was a little puzzled. For Su Xiaoyan and the newly born Chu Zihang, that man had been desperately looking for work for the past few years. Well, the city was full of shadows of the permanent brand bicycle he was riding on, leaving indelible marks on this three-acre land.

"He also has his own difficulties." It is difficult for Lin Nian to explain to Su Xiaoqiang that Chu Tianjiao's experience abroad may not be studying abroad and traveling, but doing some "tasks" that are difficult to tell others. Maybe he haunts high society in the United States In the middle of the day, I spend every day with suits and spirits, lighting cigars with banknotes and haunting intelligence stations related to the secrets of the 'Dragon Clan' one after another.

He is at the 'S' level, he is the most popular when he is cool, but in the end he chose to go back to the country at the beginning of the reform and opening up in the 90s, and he was accompanied by mud and sweat every day. Everything was just for the toddler Chu Zihang who was waiting for food at home. And that woman named Su Xiaoyan?
But what drove you to do this?Lin Nian reached out and gently wiped the face of the man smoking with his back on the photo, thinking silently.
