Stallholder, have a laugh

Jiang Le unlocked the lock with the key, and pushed open the heavy door, which made a creaking sound.

Jiang's father sat on the sofa with his back to him. This time he was not drunk, but there were a few wine bottles on the ground.

"Jiang Le, you're back." Father Jiang's voice was low, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressed.

Jiang Le took a deep breath, walked over and sat down far away from him.

"Jiang Le, I..."

"Run out of money again?"

"No, no," Father Jiang waved his hand, "I don't drink much this week, I'm afraid you'll work too hard on weekends."

Oh, so he knew that he was working hard, Jiang Le smiled self-deprecatingly.

"I applied for a job yesterday. A friend of mine worked on the construction site and recommended me to do it. The salary is average, but it's better than your part-time job on weekends."

"You look down on me, so what were you doing when I was working part-time? Why don't you make money yourself!"

Jiang Le was extremely irritable today, he felt like he had taken gunpowder, and he was inexplicably angry.

Jiang's father lowered his head and rubbed his hands, and said cautiously: "That's not what I mean, I just think it's okay to stay at home like this all the time, you still have to study..."

Jiang's father has been timid and obedient for so many years, and he is probably used to being yelled at, so it's no wonder Xu Jie wants to leave him.

Jiang Le hated him being so humble, even if Jiang's father scolded him in turn, it was much better than bowing his head like this.

He yelled again: "Which man is as useless as you!"

When someone else’s child was carefree when he was a child, he lost his mother’s love and endured the pain of being beaten by drunks from time to time; other people’s father gave the child’s living expenses, but their son gave money to his father; , he studies part-time and works part-time, sometimes he falls asleep from exhaustion the next day, and his grades plummet...

He endured all these things.But he just couldn't bear this man's weakness, he didn't want his father to be a spineless person at all.

When he was rich in the early years, he was high-spirited, gentlemanly and reliable, and Xiao Jiang Le regarded him as a hero in his heart.He rode on his father's neck and said that he wanted to do something like his father, and his mother praised him as a little man. At that time, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world.

The nightmare started when Jiang's father became addicted to alcohol.When he was drunk, he committed domestic violence, and when he couldn't catch Xu Jie, he caught Jiang Le and beat him.Jiang Le was afraid, and when Jiang's father was away, he lay in Xu Jie's arms and cried together.Later, as a company executive, Jiang's father was fired because of repeated drinking and violence during company dinners.

Without a job, he became decadent, spending money to buy alcohol every day at home without a job.Every time he woke up and saw the two people who were beaten, he kept apologizing.Xu Jie couldn't stand him, and took Jiang Le away.Considering Jiang Le's mental health, Xu Jie filed for divorce.

Father Jiang, a successful man, was woken up by a slap.For the first time, he experienced the feeling of loss, felt scared, and insisted on keeping Jiang Le by his side.At that time, Jiang Le couldn't bear to see that his prodigal family had become poor and empty, so he stayed.

Jiang Le really regrets it now.

"Jiang Le, the teacher called a few days ago... Said that with your grades, if you don't study hard, you may not be able to get into a good university. I remember that your grades were pretty good before..."

After a few years, Jiang's father finally fulfilled what a parent should do.Unfortunately, the time is wrong, too late.

Jiang Le let out a long sigh, feeling very ironic.

"I think it's fine now."

He got up with the bag and went back to the room to collect some clothes, a few bottles of mineral water and the necessities before leaving. Jiang's father didn't know how he had provoked him again.

With a bang, the door was closed.

Jiang's father was frustrated. He wanted to have a good conversation with him, but he messed up again.He was very irritable, fidgeting, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt useless. He opened the cabinet, picked up the wine bottle, and drank it vigorously.

It's good to be drunk, you won't remember anything when you're drunk, you don't have to think about anything, you don't have to hate yourself...

After Jiang Le went downstairs, he started running wildly.He didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to vent his boredom.

He wanted to stay away from here, away from this place that had caused him pain for a long time.

After running for not long, the already cloudy sky became even more oppressive, and the momentum of the black clouds overwhelming the city made everyone hurry back home.

A drop of rain hit Jiang Le's eyes, he closed his eyes for a moment, slowed down and began to walk, and looked up at the sky.

A flash of lightning flashed by, followed by a clap of thunder.

He laughed.God is also going to rain in due course.

It's better to play bigger and drench him thoroughly!

The rain fell drop by drop, gradually changing from small to large, thick fog formed on the road surface, and the street scene became hazy.

The sound of rain in his ears sounded very pleasant. He let the rain get wet and walked slowly into the nearby park.

Nowadays, men, women and children are either hiding from the rain or going out with umbrellas, and few people go in, especially when he is still drenched in the rain, everyone casts strange glances.

He went straight to the grove in the park, where there was a higher slope, which he loved to play in when he was a child.

The leaves were beaten by the rain, and there was no one in the woods. When I walked to the slope, I had a wide view.

The rain was very loud, and he was not afraid of being heard, so he started roaring hysterically in the distance.

"what--"

"what--"

……

One after another, the voices were hidden in the sound of rain, heart-piercing.

Tired of shouting, he squatted down, his body trembling, and whimpered softly.

He couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on his face.

At night, the rain stopped.

On the first night, he changed into another set of clothes in his bag, found a place to hang his wet clothes to dry, and rested against the wet spot under the slide.

The next day, Jiang Le did not come to class, nor did he ask for leave.

The teacher called his home, but no one answered, probably because Jiang's father was drunk and passed out.Gu Yuchuan called him, but his phone was turned off.

Xu Yicheng leaned over to listen to the phone, and was worried after hearing the shutdown prompt: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Wait until tomorrow," Gu Yuchuan said, "Maybe he has something urgent to say, maybe he will go back to the dormitory at night."

But he didn't go back to the dormitory that night, and he didn't come to school on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, Jiang Lejia's phone was finally connected.Jiang's father was shocked when he heard that Jiang Le didn't come to school.

"He hasn't been back?" Ye Hui, the head teacher, widened his eyes. "I haven't contacted you either?"

Father Jiang clenched his fist and said, "No."

"How do you act as a parent? We haven't contacted you for two days, but you said you don't know where he is."

"I'm sorry, teacher, it was my negligence." Jiang's father began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

"When was the last time he came home?"

"Last Sunday afternoon."

"Is there any conflict with you?"

"I pissed him off by saying the wrong thing."

"Okay, I see. I will ask my classmates to contact him, and you should go find him quickly, and contact each other if you have news."

"Thank you, teacher."

Father Jiang hung up the phone and sat on the sofa in a daze.

Is he finally going to abandon him too?They are all leaving, only myself...

He shook his head, gritted his teeth to eliminate the thoughts in his mind.

Xu Jie and Jiang Le left because he coaxed him to be useless.

He has to go to Jiang Le quickly, in case that kid can't think about it... No, he's not that weak.

He must be self-reliant and live with dignity, just like his former self.
