remaining debt

The incident of 2000 yuan seems to have been resolved, but Yu Yan knows that this stain will always follow him in his high school career and even his future life.

During that whole day, puzzled, curious, and mocking complex eyes were fixed on him, making him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.But he still pretended to be calm and listened to the class so as not to miss any knowledge points.

After finally getting out of school, he subconsciously wanted to ask Chen Xi to go back to the dormitory together, but the other party's reaction of avoiding him made him feel like he was at the bottom of the cellar again.

What's more, I can't go back to the dormitory.

He could only pack his schoolbag and leave in frustration.

But when he walked out of the campus, he found that he had nowhere to go.

Xu Qinxiang couldn't tolerate him, and if she knew the reason why she was kicked out of the dormitory, she would definitely be ridiculed.

He couldn't make Yu Xincheng feel embarrassed.

Let's see where there is a part-time job.

Yu Yan walked along the street for more than an hour before he finally found a small barbecue shop with a sign saying "Job Recruitment".

The owner of the shop is a strong young man who looks 26 or [-] years old, probably because the sleeves of his hands are rolled up while grilling skewers, and there are tattoos of green dragons and white tigers on his arms, which looks a little scary.

When Yu Yan saw him for the first time, he was still hesitant to go in, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity, because the barbecue restaurant was only open at night, which was the most suitable for Yu Yan.

The owner of the flower arm shop who was grilling skewers at the door also saw him wandering outside the door, and couldn't help smiling and asked him: "Hey! Kid, do you want to eat barbecue? Come in!"

The other party's voice was not scary at all, and Yu Yan finally settled down, and he became more courageous, and stepped forward and said, "Brother, are you still recruiting here? I want to work part-time."

The owner of the flower arm shop was happy when he heard it, "Working? Kid, you look like a junior high school student in F Middle School, right? Are you over 16? I'm sorry, I don't recruit child labor here."

Yu Yan blushed instantly, and explained embarrassingly: "full, full, and I'm a freshman in high school, but I don't have money to buy a new school uniform, so I can only wear the old school uniform..."

"That's okay too?" The flower arm shop owner was very surprised.

"Well, our school's senior high school and junior high school are together, and the school uniform is just a sign of being able to enter the school..." And it is for this reason that Xu Qinxiang has been refusing to pay for him to buy a new school uniform, so Yu Yan wears the junior high school uniform. Three old school uniforms have passed for a semester, and they have received strange looks.

The owner of the flower arm shop was stunned, and subconsciously replied: "Is your family so poor?"

Yu Yan felt a pain in his heart like a needle prick, but replied calmly on his face: "Well, my family collects waste products."

"It's quite profitable to collect waste now, so you can't even afford school uniforms?"

Yu Yan felt another pain in his heart, and said with a forced smile, "Uh...my family's situation is a bit complicated..."

Seeing his perplexed look, the flower arm shop owner didn't ask any more questions, but changed the subject and said: "But our kind of shop is very hard, sometimes it has to be busy until three or four o'clock to close the stall, and you still have to go to class, class during the day what to do?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm young and I can endure it." As if afraid that the other party would disagree, Yu Yan hurriedly added, "I used to work a lot, and I was very diligent."

"Do your parents know?"

"I don't know... I don't want to tell them either."

"Then I can't promise you anymore, please go back!"

The owner of the flower arm shop waved him away as he said that. Yu Yan didn't know where his courage was, so he refused to let go of his arm, and begged: "Brother, please let me work here! I have no place. Stay here... Please take me in..."

"What does it mean to have no place to live? Can't you go home?" The owner of the flower arm shop became more and more curious.

Since he couldn't avoid these problems, Yu Yan simply stopped covering up and told the story of being framed at school during the day and the reasons why he didn't go home.

Of course, in the item of family background, he hid the specific facts, only saying that he was not liked by his stepmother.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the flower arm shop really believed him, and patted him on the shoulder very generously and said: "Okay! You will be here to help from today on. You finish school at six o'clock, right? Then work from seven o'clock to Twelve o'clock, dinner included, there are beds in the store, you can live there, the monthly salary is 1200, commission is calculated separately, how about it?"

"You only need to work until twelve o'clock? Didn't you just say that when you are busy, you don't close until three or four o'clock?" Yu Yan asked in surprise.

"It's okay, your situation is special, I can relax the conditions. And you seem to be studying well, so you can't regress because of this!"

Yu Yan was about to cry, and his voice began to choke: "Thank you! Thank you, big brother!"

The flower arm shopkeeper smiled: "Haha, what big brother, just call me Brother Chen, how about you?"

"Yu Yan, metaphor of metaphor, rock of rock."

"Very good name, I'll call you Xiaoyan from now on."

"Okay, thank you Brother Chen." Yu Yan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and then asked a little cautiously, "Then today is the first day of work, right? What do I need to do?"

"Well...you go to skewer some fish balls first, and finish the fish balls in the refrigerator."

"Ok."

Yu Yan immediately walked into the store, put down his schoolbag, found fish balls, and strung them up carefully.

What he didn't know was that, opposite the barbecue restaurant, the luxury car was parked on the side of the road during the day, and the young man in the car was staring at him with hatred, and kept staring at him...

After twelve o'clock, Brother Chen did not let him continue to work, but told him to go back to the small room at the back to sleep.

Filled with gratitude, Yu Yan picked up his schoolbag and walked into the room to have a look, and even let out an "ah" involuntarily.

Compared with the dirty facade with heavy oily smoke outside, this place is like a paradise.

Clean white wall paint, neatly made beds, opened the closet, and the clothes inside were also folded in order and colors.

What was even more surprising was that there was a small desk next to the bed with a row of books on it, all of which were professional books on law.

Yu Yan casually picked up a book of Criminal Law and flipped through it. It was filled with densely packed notes, but it was not messy. It looked like a top student.

Turning back to the title page curiously, I saw three strong and powerful characters written in regular script:

Que Xingchen.

The legal representative on the business license hung on the wall of the store before also has the same name.

But Brother Chen's two big flower arms and fierce temperament are too inconsistent with the name and living habits...

It seems that this brother Chen also has a story.

But Yu Yan didn't delve into it any further, but shook off his messy thoughts, took out the books from his schoolbag, and reviewed what he had learned during the day for half an hour, then hurriedly washed up, and went to bed to rest.

When the alarm clock rang at six o'clock the next day, Yu Yan got up quickly.

Because middle school F has class at 10:[-] in the morning, and the barbecue restaurant is [-] minutes away from middle school F by bus, he must allow enough time for preparation.

After washing up and leaving the room, he found that Que Xingchen was lying on the cash register and sleeping soundly.

Busily shook him gently to wake him up, and said guiltily: "Brother Chen, you don't have to give up the bed to me..."

Although sleepy, Que Xingchen still replied with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, I can sleep all day during the day, you have to go to school, right? Be careful."

"Yeah." Yu Yan's heart was instantly filled with warmth again, he also waved his hand with a smile and said, "Goodbye, Brother Chen."

Arriving at a nearby bus stop, Yu Yan found that there were quite a few students from the same school, including junior high and high school, and a girl of the same grade.

Unexpectedly, the girl knew him, and approached him with surprise on her face: "Yu Yan? You are Yu Yan, right?"

"Hmm... May I ask who you are?" Yu Yan asked suspiciously.

"My name is Qi Yue, from class 320."

Qi Yue?The name and face are a bit familiar, but for a while, I can't remember where I saw her.Yu Yan smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I don't know you..."

Qi Yue laughed even wider: "Hahaha, that's okay, as long as I know you."

"How did you know me?"

"Number one in the city's high school entrance examination, who in our class doesn't know you?" Qi Yue said, and then added with a look of frustration, "But you really don't have any impression of me? I spoke right behind you at the opening ceremony Yes."

At this moment, Yu Yan instantly remembered who she was. Yes, at the opening ceremony, the top three in the high school entrance examination had to speak on stage, and she was the second.

He hurriedly smiled and said: "Ah, I remembered, it turned out to be you! It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, but aren't you a resident student? Why are you here?" Qi Yue asked curiously.

Yu Yan's eyes dimmed, and in order not to let the other party find out, he quickly restored his smile: "I won't be staying at school this semester, so it's better to study at home."

"Yes, I heard that the school dormitory is very inhumane. Twelve people sleep in a dormitory. I would rather take the bus for two hours a day than squeeze."

"Um……"

Just don't know how to respond, the bus finally came.

Yu Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got into the car. The car was always relatively empty in the early morning, so he found a seat in the back row by the window, and unexpectedly, Qi Yue also sat down.

In fact, he was not used to being in contact with girls, but he couldn't say to Qi Yue, "You sit somewhere else", so he could only move in and try not to be next to her.

And in order to prevent the other party from talking to him again, he quickly took out the repeater and earphones from his schoolbag to listen to English.

Qi Yue also took out his earphones and MP3 player.

It was the latest model that was popular at the time.

Yu Yan looked at the clumsy repeater in his hand and suddenly felt very uncomfortable. His repeater was bought when he graduated from elementary school. It was a gift from Yu Xincheng to reward him for his higher education, and because of buying this, Xu Qinxiang and Yu Xincheng quarreled for a month.

Subconsciously wanting to take the repeater back, I looked down and saw my white school pants and was stunned again, yes, what's the point of taking it back?

Didn't that shallow self-esteem have been lost with this shabby school uniform long ago?

Thinking of this, Yu Yan smiled silently, and then continued to press the tape recorder to listen to English.

The morning street scene outside the car window is full of vigor, and the faces of pedestrians coming and going are also full of longing for a new day.

Only his heart is heavy.

Like a small dark cloud hidden in the sun, no one can see it.
