How can a person without a strong family background, enough money, or strong connections gain a foothold in this society?

Education, and only education.Only by studying hard can you change your destiny.Maybe the result is still not as good as those who came from affluent backgrounds, but at least they can reverse their fate of suffering.

Lin Yuguo entered junior high school, his originally long and shaggy hair had been shaved into a short inch, and his thin, dry and yellow face was also rounded a lot under the nourishment of milk broth. He has a round face, flushed, like a peeled lychee rolled into a powder box; his height is also quite high, as if the rice seedlings in the rice field are stained with fat water, and they are swollen.

For the first time, he came into contact with many children in the city. He saw them wearing watches that he only saw on TV, using dazzling mobile phones, wearing shiny earphones, and some even secretly pierced their ears. Wear oddly shaped earrings out of sight of the teacher;

Of course, there are also those well-studied students who are dressed in ordinary clothes and hold books in their hands all day long. The teacher seems to light up their eyes and smile automatically when they see them.

Lin Yuguo is not a top kid, his grades can only be ranked in the upper middle of the class; frankly speaking, he is the type who has to stretch his muscles in key high schools, and is the type of poor talent in ordinary high schools.

He studies very hard. The most relaxing days in a semester are the two days after the exams and waiting for the results. Even during the winter and summer vacations, he has to go to the cram school that Song Yaze has arranged for him. There is no night grass and no fat."

Although he is not interested in studying, but for the sake of his brother and the so-called "future", he has to lower his head and pick up a pen to write down boring notes.

But not everyone can have a good brain.He, Lin Yuguo, is not an extremely smart kid, with mediocre aptitude, just like the student you and I have seen sitting in the corner applauding good students and listening to the teacher criticizing bad ones.

In this world, there are many ordinary people like this. They will not be recorded in history, but they have a kind name called "the masses of the people".

But it is such ordinary people who have promoted history. They are unknown, but they are doing the greatest things in silence.

But Song Yaze is even more busy. Although he has passed the psychological age, he is still a child physically, but now he has to take care of another child.

Lin Yuguo’s tuition and cram school fees have already cost tens of thousands, and he himself has to study a mixed diploma in a technical secondary school every day, so the hotel work has to be stopped. There are less than 20 yuan left in the deposit.

The decrease in the amount on the account forced him to go to a ktv to find a job as a night waiter.He went to school during the day, went directly to KTV after school, and couldn't go home until early in the morning.

He had to work hard to make money in order to pay tuition fees, pay expensive cram school fees, and let Lin Yuguo eat and drink well to ensure his health.

Sometimes when Lin Yuguo was in cram school, he would stand downstairs, looking at the moon and smoking a cigarette.Due to economic constraints, he only smoked the cheapest low-grade cigarettes, and the smell was very choking.But he also adapted, he is a person who can adjust himself according to the environment.

After the cram school, Lin Yuguo took a deep breath, and the heat turned into mist and floated upwards under the street lights. He has been busy for nearly three years. During this winter vacation, he is still attending cram school. In half a year, he will usher in the first fate-determining exam in his life—the senior high school entrance exam.

Perhaps this exam is nothing to those with power and background, but it is indeed of great significance to a poor student who can only walk the single-plank bridge of learning.

He rubbed his hands in the cold night, took a breath, put his hands in his pockets, and walked home quickly.When he came downstairs, he suddenly found that the lights in the house were still on, which made him very puzzled, because Song Yaze only came home in the middle of the night, and it was only nine o'clock in the evening, how could the lights be on!

With his schoolbag on his back, a trace of unease filled his heart. He had a premonition that something unusual was about to happen, but he didn't know what would happen. He walked up the stairs along the corridor full of small advertisements in doubt.

When he came to the door and saw the traces of the door lock being destroyed, he was startled, his heart jumped violently like a frightened rabbit, and he even regretted his decision to go upstairs.

"Are you Qin Jianjun's son?" A ruffian voice came from the room.

Lin Yuguo looked up and saw a young man with a stick in his hand, a cigarette in his mouth, and colorfully dyed hair.He also wore a nose ring, stood crookedly, and looked like he was in the same pattern as the unruly students in the class, except that he was older.He speaks Mandarin, very standard, not like a native of Chongqing.

Lin Yuguo was a little scared. He always kept these ruffians at arm's length and dared not approach them.He summoned up his courage and insisted, saying:

"Well, he's dead."

The ruffian youth tapped the stick on the ground, making a heavy sound, hitting Lin Yuguo's shaking heart.He tilted his head, smoked a cigarette, and his expression was not very friendly: "Come in. Don't worry, I won't beat you up."

Hearing these words, Lin Yuguo felt relieved, and walked in obediently, putting down his schoolbag with trembling shoulders.

Suddenly, he felt a strong hit on the back of his knees, which made his legs suddenly lose strength, and he knelt straight on the ground.He raised his head in surprise, enduring the pain and looking at the instigator angrily and horrified.

I saw the ruffian young man smiling happily and cunningly, as if he had won the lottery.He took a deep breath on his cigarette and threw the remaining cigarette butt on the ground, not bothering to step on it.

He put the stick on his shoulder, and looked at the kneeling Lin Yuguo triumphantly, with a despicable look of a villain.

"Boy, let me tell you, don't be so stupid in the future!" He said with a laugh, while squatting down with a happy expression on his face.

Lin Yuguo lowered his head and remained silent, anger rising in his heart, he felt that his knees were no longer painful or numb, and anger was the best healing potion, he only felt his blood vessels were full of heat, and his heart was beating fast, being caught Being cheated and beaten made this 16-year-old boy, who had always been silent, suddenly become possessed by a Shura, bursting with anger.

He raised his head suddenly, and before the ruffian could react, he grabbed the stick from his shoulder, and hit the stick on the man's head, almost using all his strength.

The ruffian also reacted quickly. When the stick came, he quickly dodged. The heavy blow that should have hit his head fell on his shoulder. With a howl, he fell to the ground.

Lin Yuguo stood up, his eyes were red, and he was panting violently. He was no longer short, and his youthful youth made him look like an adult, like a flower that has not yet fully bloomed.At this time, his frightening eyes really made the ruffians on the ground a little scared.

The ruffian cursed and got up from the ground. In fact, he was only half a head taller than Lin Yuguo.

As if feeling that he had lost face, he angrily stepped forward to take back the stick, and hit Lin Yuguo on the back of the waist. Lin Yuguo fell to the ground, and the ruffian raised the stick again, aiming to hit him on the head.

At this time, he felt his back was kicked hard, the pain was burning, and his body fell down in the direction of the kick.

"elder brother!"

Seeing Song Yaze, Lin Yuguo was as excited as seeing the dawn, just like a person floating in the sea seeing a rescue fleet in a shipwreck.

"Shooting on the head, you really don't know what to do!"

Song Yaze said angrily.He rushed over after receiving a call from a neighbor. When Uncle Wang came home from the opposite door, he saw that the door of the two brothers' room had been pried open, so he called him who was working the night shift at KTV.

"You bastard!"

The ruffian stood up tremblingly from the ground, so angry that he wanted to fight Song Yaze desperately, "How dare you beat someone who owes you money!"

As he spoke, he was about to swing the stick, but was easily subdued by Song Yaze with the grappling technique.

"Money owed? What money?" Song Yaze asked suspiciously while pressing the ruffian's head.

The ruffian didn't expect Song Yaze to be able to play tricks, and he couldn't help being shocked. His wrist and arm were held down as if they were about to break, but he lost strength and couldn't move.

"Your father... owes our boss 40...he is dead...but the debt is still owed..."

The ruffian said tremblingly, he was in great pain, and his face was sweating.

Song Yaze let go of the ruffian, took his stick back into his hand, stared at him silently for a moment, and then slowly said, "We have no money."

The ruffian turned over, gritted his teeth and said, "No money? Our boss heard that you took 20 yuan in compensation! You pay back the 20 yuan first, and then talk about the remaining half!"

Song Yaze ignored his words, but stared at the ruffian and said, "Are you a professional debt collector?"

The ruffian was very proud. He patted his chest and looked a little proud: "Of course!"

"Your parents gave birth to you just to be someone's dog's leg?"

Song Yaze's tone was calm, but it hit the ruffian's heart like a storm.

"Don't worry about it!" the ruffian was impatient, and he blushed and said, "Stop talking nonsense! Bring 20!"

"I got 20 three years ago, and it's almost spent. Now I can only spend [-]." Song Yaze said calmly.

"Twenty thousand?! Who the hell did you send?!"

The ruffian stood up, pointed at Song Yaze arrogantly and said, "Our boss has already checked it out! You still have [-] in your card, right?!"

Song Yaze was startled, he didn't expect this boss to be so resourceful.

"Haha, are you stunned?!"

The ruffian said with a smile, he sat down on the sofa, crossed his legs, shook his feet and said: "Without two brushes, our boss can start a guarantee company!"

Song Yaze was silent, the matter was far more difficult than he imagined.

The ruffian threw a piece of paper on the ground and said triumphantly:

"Before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, call [-] to this number! Our boss is very kind, and doesn't want to make it difficult for you two brats, and give you a small change."

"Show kindness?!"

Song Yaze raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this still the old society? The father's debt has no legal relationship with the son."

The ruffian suddenly stood up from the sofa, stared at Song Yaze, as if looking at an enemy, his face turned like turning the pages of a book:

"You don't want to pay it back?!"

"It's not that I don't want to pay it back, it's that I have nothing to do with this debt at all."

Song Yaze said calmly, he picked up the note with the card number on it, rolled it up, and threw it into the trash can.

"You...you you..." The ruffian pointed at Song Yaze, but couldn't say a word.

"Your boss is legally illiterate. It's not suitable for this society to pay off the debts of father and son; or, he is an old man with dementia, and he still feels that he is living in the old society?!" Song Yaze stared at the riffraff, Say it in one word.

The ruffian was so angry that his face was flushed red, but he was wronged. He couldn't argue with him, so he could only pretend to point at the tip of Song Yaze's nose and gesture for a long time.

"Go back and ask your boss to check the law carefully to see which one stipulates that the father's debt should be repaid!" Song Yaze threw the stick to the door, "You go, you want to go with the money."

The ruffian blushed, he didn't know whether he was angry or annoyed, he was puffing up, his eyes seemed to pop out, like a bull's eye.He was so blocked that he couldn't speak, and finally he could only let out a powerful sentence and left like a whirlwind:

"You two wait for me!"

After the ruffian left, Song Yaze discovered that the originally tidy room was now as if it had been hit by a tornado. Books and newspapers were scattered all over the floor, and chairs fell to the ground, like ants that were about to be trampled to death.

Song Yaze glanced at the destroyed door lock and sighed.With a heavy heart, he pulled Lin Yuguo up and began to tidy up the room.

"Brother, what should we do now?" Lin Yuguo said worriedly while sorting out the scattered books.

"I have to move out now, this place can't live."

Song Yaze sighed.There is no room for this hut. Fortunately, only one person will come this time, but judging by the situation, a group of people will come next time.

They tidied up the room and left a note to the landlord with a red bill to cover the cost of repairing the lock.

The two of them went downstairs with a suitcase.

When he got downstairs, Lin Yuguo couldn't hold back, and looked back at the already dark window. Seeing Lin Yuguo's ecstasy, Song Yaze followed his gaze, and also fixed his gaze on the house where he had lived for three years. .

Three years ago, it was also in such a wet winter. They came here with hope in their hearts, naively thinking that they could walk to smoothness step by step and stay away from pain; Few things can follow people's will. Most people live in unexpected changes and do things they have never considered.The future is always unknown.

Song Yaze smiled, touched Lin Yuguo's head, and said, "Can't bear to leave?"

Lin Yuguo shook his head, his dark gaze was removed from the window, fixed on Song Yaze's eyes, and he said firmly, "I thought we could live in peace."

Song Yaze smiled softly, and the moonlight illuminated his smile extremely softly: "Life is not only about stability, but also has ups and downs, so that it is interesting."

Lin Yuguo looked at his brother's gentle smile, as if he had taken a reassurance, and ate another piece of sweet candy, which was sweeter than all the candies in the world.His heart seemed to be melted by this smile, as if the surrounding scenery could be drowned in this smile, at that moment, everything around him disappeared.

He will probably never forget this smile for the rest of his life.

"Life will get better and better." Song Yaze patted the face of Lin Yuguo who was stunned and said.
