Aunt Zhao pulled it hard a few times, but she couldn't pull it away no matter what.Standing by the door, she wanted to laugh and curse, but when she looked at the money in her hand, she suddenly felt sad.

Money again.

Every time I want to treat him well, I always use money to prevaricate myself.

But who can blame this, it's not because of my stubbornness in the past.

She owed that child too much.

In fact, she understood that no matter what she did now, it was too late for that child.

The ancients said that a broken mirror cannot be repaired, and water cannot be recovered, not to mention that he was only a child at that time.

It's just that I have been wrong too many times, now, how can I continue to be wrong.

It's only to blame... I was deceived by lard back then.

If it wasn't for my ignorance and stubbornness, how could Xiao present now... how would he rather use money to send her off than have more emotional involvement with him.

How guilty she feels now, how disappointed that child was at the beginning.

I remember that at that time, Su Cheng and his mother had already moved here for several years.

She herself was a late comer, divorced from her husband, and took care of her daughter alone.

Therefore, it is natural to be extra pampered to my daughter.

Anything that is delicious and useful, is all close to her.

I'm afraid that something is wrong with her, and I'm also worried that she will be bullied because she doesn't have a father, so she will be spoiled more and more.

Sometimes, knowing that it is wrong, but because of pity, I can't bear to criticize.

As a matter of course, the daughter was raised a little bit domineeringly.

At that time, I had actually noticed something, but I always felt that I owed my daughter too much.What's more, my daughter is still young, as long as she waits, when she gets older... she will definitely be sensible.

Until one time later, a group of hooligans came to the family somehow, dragged the daughter to say some obscene words, and dragged the daughter out of the house.

In order to protect her daughter, she injured her foot while pushing and shoving, and has been lame since then.

At that time, I really believed in my daughter with all my heart.

The daughter tearfully said that those people actually came to find Xiaocheng, but they just went to the wrong door.

In addition, those people did always make trouble for Xiaocheng...

I actually believed that.

Especially at the moment when he knew that his feet could not return to normal, he cursed Xiaocheng every time he saw him.

I still can't get rid of my anger by scolding myself, but I have to make up some words and pull the neighbors to criticize together.

At that time, I didn't know what was wrong with me. Every time I saw the yellow and thin child, who came back from the outside with injuries, and was scolded by the neighbors like a frightened little animal, and hid in the house in panic, I felt extra happy in my heart. .

Such days have been going on for several years.

Until later, when my daughter married far away and never came back, I suddenly understood what it meant to say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and the relationship with neighbors is getting better and better.

Except for the one across the door, she still remembered the harm they had done to her.

Then one day, she passed by the next street, and met an aunt who hadn't come back for many years, and pulled her to ask about her daughter and Xiao Cheng.

Only then did she know that there was something else hidden about that incident back then.

It turned out that back then, my daughter had already provoked those people outside. It was the first time she was besieged in an alley, and it was Xiaocheng who made some noise and scared away the little gangsters.

It was only later that the punks approached the door.

So in those years, not only did he wrongly blame Xiaocheng, but he also took revenge and beat him up.

She was carrying a newly bought thermos bottle, but she lost one of them, and the water bottle fell to the ground, and the inner liner was completely shattered immediately.

In Xiaocheng's mind, the brokenness is the trust between people.

It also resembles her relationship with the opposite family.

I still remember Xiaocheng's increasingly dim eyes when facing the neighbors when he came back with injuries all over his body.

At that time, Xiaocheng probably thought that in the whole world, apart from a mentally ill mother, there were only bad people who could beat him, scold him, and despise him...

Thinking about it, Aunt Zhao felt more and more uncomfortable. She tugged at her cuffs, trying to wipe away the tears on her face, but the tears couldn't be stopped no matter what.

She is not only annoyed, but also grateful.

Fortunately, Xiaocheng did not completely disappoint the world because of the indifference he conveyed.

Now, she just wants to use her actions to tell him that the world is warm.

However, he would rather use money to reject her kindness.

Su Cheng knew nothing about what happened inside the door. He loved money, but he didn't want to owe favors.

Yes, although I lost 500 yuan at once, I feel a lot more relaxed.

Su Cheng stood outside the door for a while, until he heard the footsteps inside moving away, then let go of the doorknob, turned around and opened the door on the right.

If it was still in the area of ​​University A, it would be the time when the lights are feasting and the traffic is busy, but in the old city, as a concentrated area for the elderly, it is already very quiet.

So although Su Cheng didn't do it deliberately, he still opened the door much more lightly.

But when the door opened, Su Cheng froze.

There is no moon tonight, only a street lamp by the iron gate.

The cold white light shines in through the cracks of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees, reflecting the room indistinctly.

In this shadow, a figure stood there silently.

In the darkness, only a pair of bloody eyes were deep and strange.

At this moment, there was a gust of wind outside, which made the branches rustle, and the shadows in the house also swayed.

Suddenly, the cat who didn't know where, let out a stern cry.

Su Cheng was terrified immediately.

After the figure moved and the light was turned on, Su Cheng was stimulated by the light and closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening his eyes again to see the person inside the door clearly.

Who else could it be, isn't it Chen Xiuping?

Su Cheng let out a breath, and stared at him angrily.

No wonder Su Cheng was terrified.

Not to mention the usual time, Chen Xiuping should have fallen asleep long ago.

What's more, when this kind of deep exposure is heavy, a skinny woman wearing a flowery skirt and wandering in the dark is also very scary.

However, Su Cheng was also very helpless, he himself was quite frightened, but Chen Xiuping didn't feel the slightest.

Can you reason with her?

Not at all.

Su Cheng stepped into the room angrily, and locked the door behind him.

This house is not much bigger than the rented house. If we really want to compare it, it has an extra small kitchen than the other side.

So the only bedroom was lived by Chen Xiuping.

As for Su Cheng, his bed is placed against the wall in the living room.

Anyway, there are no guests in their house, so there is no need for a living room, let alone a sofa or coffee table.

Even if the wall was peeled off, Su Cheng used certificates of awards next to each other, making a dense layer of paste.

When I was young, the bed was so open, but when I got older, I realized that I was shy, so I used old sheets to draw the curtains.

After going to university, Su Cheng seldom came back, and when he came back occasionally, he just took a look and went back to live there.

Su Cheng looked at the empty bed behind the curtain, sighed, staggered away from Chen Xiuping, and walked into the room.

Now that the house over there has been withdrawn, I can only live here for a short time.

Moreover, it is impossible to rely on Chen Xiuping for such a difficult task as making the bed, Su Cheng can only go to the cupboard and pick up the cotton quilt by himself.

After finally getting it done, when I turned around, I saw Chen Xiuping holding up a corner of the curtain, and poked out a shaggy head.

A pair of dark eyes stared at him without blinking.

shit.

Su Cheng was startled again by this sudden suddenness.

Su Cheng was really speechless, he really wanted to yell at Chen Xiuping: Do you know that you are scary like this.

But what's the use of shouting.

Su Cheng was rather depressed, sitting cross-legged on the bed and staring at Chen Xiuping.

Chen Xiuping, on the other hand, looked back with a dumbfounded look.

In fact, Chen Xiuping's appearance is not scary, she can even be said to be delicate and beautiful.

It's just because of long-term mental problems and irregular diet, some of them are too thin, which makes the big eyes look even bigger and hollow.

Coupled with the short hair that looks like a chicken coop, it has a particularly weird feeling.

Once upon a time, Chen Xiuping actually had long hair.

In Su Cheng's memory, when the hair was the longest, it reached the root of the thigh.

It's just that after being abnormal, every time she fell ill, she would grab her hair and mess around.

Later, Su Cheng simply cut off her long hair.

Su Cheng just looked at Chen Xiuping for a full 10 minutes, and finally silently acquiesced, got up, and turned off the light in the living room.

Whatever she likes.

The black light is blind, and if you can't see it, it doesn't exist.

Su Cheng lay back on the bed full of aggrieved stomach, and after thinking wildly for a long time, he finally fell asleep.

As a result, I didn't sleep for long, and my stomach started to hurt again.

Su Cheng was sick a few days ago, and because of a bad mood, Su Cheng originally ate less, but tonight he ate a lot, and then he was frightened and angry.

It's no wonder it doesn't hurt after such a toss.

Su Cheng curled up, rubbed a big ball of the quilt to his stomach, and tried to continue to sleep.

Later, I fell asleep in a daze, but my stomach hurt more and more.

When Su Cheng wanted to get up and was drank by hot water, he was already covered in cold sweat from the pain, and he couldn't even get up.

In a daze, it seemed that someone brought him water and stuffed something that looked like medicine into his mouth.

It's just that Su Cheng was in severe pain, and these memories seemed to be covered by a layer of fog.

When he woke up the next morning, Su Cheng touched his stomach which was already feeling nothing, and felt that everything last night seemed to be a dream.

To prove it, he wandered around the living room.

Sure enough, nothing.

So, it might really be a dream.

……

After eating a bowl of porridge and sauerkraut with Chen Xiuping, Su Cheng went out.

Anyway, he didn't like to stay in this room, so he might as well go out and see if he could find a job.

Although Su Cheng himself majored in economics, he did not graduate. It may be very difficult to find a job with a higher education level.

However, Su Cheng didn't come to a conclusion lightly, and ran around a bit more.

It's just that in the end it turned out that without that stepping stone and experience, it really wouldn't work.

Su Cheng could only settle for the next best thing and look for other jobs.

After running like this for several days, Su Cheng didn't see any suitable ones.

On this day, Su Cheng still got nothing, and was about to call it a day and go back, but when he reached the intersection, he saw a lot of people blocking the road.

Su Cheng watched from a distance, and found that it was smoke coming from the facade of a house next to the street. Hearing the people nearby talking, it seemed that the line was aging and caught fire or something.

For this kind of old city, this kind of thing is actually common.

Su Cheng was not interested in joining in the fun, so he simply went back, planning to take a detour to go back from another street.

As a result, this detour really made Su Cheng see a recruiter.

It's a fake fast food restaurant called Kenshiji.

The store is small, but the business is good.

At this point, many people are queuing at the order counter.

Su Cheng lowered the brim of his hat, took a closer look, and found that the prices of the things here are quite close to the people, no wonder there are so many people.

Look closely at the job recruitment poster. There are two shifts, only eight hours a day, three days off and one day off. The salary and benefits are all good.

Su Cheng's heart was moved at that time.

After all, there are no technical requirements for this kind of job, and he thinks he looks pretty good, so it shouldn't be too difficult to be a facade or something.

After Su Cheng went in to express his intention, he talked with the boss for another 15 minutes, and the boss immediately made a decision.

The next day, Su Cheng became an intern employee of this fake fast food restaurant.
