I want to have a home

Before the new year, he went to the town to buy new year's goods.I ran into his classmate Zhang Li by chance. Zhang Li was wearing the most popular clothes for young people nowadays, a dark blue padded jacket, a pair of jeans on his lower body, and red and white sneakers on his feet. The shoes were still from Li Ning, and he looked youthful. Effortless, very casual and handsome.Lin Jiale looked at this old classmate who was dressed completely differently from before, feeling a little dazed.Zhang Li stood opposite him, giving him a cigarette, and Lin Jiale waved his hand.

Zhang Li took back the cigarette, took out the lighter, and lit one for himself: "Jia Le, are you making a fortune in Guangdong now?"

Lin Jiale smiled: "It's just to make ends meet."

Zhang Li took a puff of smoke: "That's not bad, we are self-sufficient, better than us, we still have to rely on my father and mother to support me."

Lin Jiale thought, why don't we change it, but he couldn't say that, he asked, "You go to school in City C?"

"Yeah. University of M, majoring in economics and management." Zhang Li rubbed his face and said, "Jia Le, we are all sorry for you. You can't study after being admitted to University of H."

Lin Jiale's head buzzed, a little dazed, has he been admitted to H University?Since he came back, he hasn't visited the teacher at school, and he planned to go only during the Spring Festival.He said a little excitedly: "I, have I been admitted to H University?" He stuttered a little.

Zhang Li looked at him with some astonishment: "Yeah. You don't know? Your grades have already entered the admission line of A University, but not your professional line, so I transferred you to H University. H University also That’s good, and that’s the point.”

Lin Jiale's lips trembled a little. He had actually been admitted to university, but he never knew. Didn't Teacher Zhou go to him? "Zhang Li, I want to go to school to see Teacher Zhou, are you going?"

"Okay, let's go together." Zhang Li extinguished the cigarette on the tree trunk, and threw it on a pile of garbage on the street.

"I'll go shopping first, it's not good to go empty-handed." Lin Jiale was in a mess, but still remembered the most basic etiquette.

"it is good."

When the two arrived at the school, there were children playing with firecrackers everywhere, red firecracker confetti scattered all over the ground, a faint sulfur smell permeated this familiar alma mater, Lin Jiale had already habitually described this smell It's grown-up taste.

The two knocked on the door of Teacher Zhou Qiang's house, and it was the teacher's wife who opened the door. When she saw Lin Jiale, she was shocked: "It's Lin Jiale? Come in quickly. Doudou, go to the opposite door to Grandpa Zeng's house and call your father back." While letting the two of them into the house, she sent her youngest daughter to call Zhou Qiang, who went to play chess at Teacher Zeng's house opposite.

Lin Jiale entered the room, put the things on the ground by the door, and sat down on the sofa.The teacher's wife has not stopped since they entered the house, bringing them slippers, pouring boiling water, and serving fruit plates.

Lin Jiale said: "Master, don't be so busy, you don't need to be so polite."

"I'm not busy with anything. It's rare to come to the teacher's house. I still have to drink a cup of boiled water." The teacher's wife turned on the electric stove and sat down on the side of the sand: "Jia Le, when did you come back?"

"I just came back two days ago, I cleaned up at home." Lin Jiale warmed the glass in his hand, his hometown is not like Guangdong, the winter is wet and cold, enough for a person to drink a pot.

"Are you all right outside?" The teacher's wife knew about his situation.

Lin Jiale nodded and explained his situation.

The teacher's wife nodded with some relief: "It's good, the teacher's wife is relieved seeing you like this."

At this moment, Zhou Qiang pushed Doudou in his arms and pushed open the open door and came in. Lin Jiale and Zhang Li hurriedly stood up and said hello: "Teacher Zhou."

"Sit, sit down." Zhou Qiang put down Doudou, and went straight to the point to Lin Jiale, "You said you kid, you didn't call or write a letter when you went out. The notice is here. I'll go to your house to find someone. They They all said they didn’t know where you were, and your neighbor next door said they would tell your relatives about it and ask them to contact you, but there was no news of you until school started.”

Lin Jiale was sad, and her aunt's house was not close, if it wasn't for a coincidence, who would go out and tell her.Even if they were told, they might not tell themselves about it, and the left and right didn't have the money to read it.

After talking, Zhou Qiang went into the study, took out an express envelope and handed it to Lin Jiale.Lin Jiale held the envelope with the words H Province and H University written on it. He had mixed feelings in his heart. When he opened the envelope, his hands trembled a little.This is a notice that has been invalidated, with my name written on it in black and white, and stamped with a big red round stamp.Lin Jiale's nose was sore, and tears welled up in his eyes, he tried his best not to let it flow out, if it wasn't for Mr. Zhou's house, in front of everyone, he would definitely cry out.But he tried his best to hold back, carefully read each piece of paper, folded it carefully, and put it in the envelope.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, is it your volunteer to help me fill it out? Thank you for keeping the notice for me." Lin Jiale sniffed, looked up at Zhou Qiang and said.

Zhou Qiang looked at his student in front of him and knew that his inner emotions were fluctuating a lot at the moment, but he tried his best not to show it. This student, who just turned eighteen, has more forbearance than his peers. and restraint.In the future, the future of this child is very bright.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved: "You don't need to thank me. Jiale, although you have lost the opportunity to go to college, there are still countless possibilities in your life. Don't extinguish the fire in your heart just because of this. People have pursuits. , it will definitely be meaningful and valuable. Maybe ten or eight years later, you have achieved success in a certain industry. Looking back, you will feel that all the encounters today are just a kind of tempering for you. The poem I often tell everyone, "The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold" is the truth. Many people can't understand the true meaning of it, but I think you can understand it. Today, the teacher will once again This sentence is for you, I hope you will not forget your pursuit, and never give up your hard work."

Lin Jiale chewed this poem twice in his heart, then nodded emphatically: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, I will definitely keep it in my heart."

During the Chinese New Year, Lin Jiale visited all relatives and gave a gift to each relative who helped.He wants people to know that Lin Jiale is a person who knows how to repay her kindness. After grandma left, there are still people in the Lin family.Then, carrying his notice on his back, he boarded the train going south.

When he arrived in G City, Lin Jiale went to pay New Year's greetings to Liu Mingliang's family. At the end of last year, Liu Mingliang did not return to his hometown for the New Year, but went to his mother-in-law's home for the New Year.Lin Jiale gave Liu Mingliang all the bacon and fish that his aunt gave him, but he didn't want to do it himself, so he couldn't eat it.Stayed in City G for one night. Before leaving, Liu Mingliang stuffed him with a lot of seafood and snacks, all of which were brought from Yu Lan's house. Yu Lan is from Zhuhai.

Lin Jiale returned to the factory, just entered the factory gate, and saw a red Mercedes-Benz sports car parked under the office building from a distance. Sister Zhong accompanied a woman in a red skirt and sunglasses down from the office building.The two stood in front of the sports car and talked, and Sister Zhong greeted Lin Jiale from a distance: "Lin Jiale, are you back?"

Lin Jiale was flattered, these executives usually rarely take the initiative to talk to a young man like him.Lin Jiale responded, and quickly passed through the gap between the office building and the factory. He could feel that the woman wearing sunglasses was also staring at him.He remembered that the car he had seen last year belonged to the proprietress.What is the proprietress doing in the factory at this time? The factory will start work tomorrow, but this is their own business, and they can't control it.

When the salary was paid in the first month of the year, Lin Jiale found that his salary had increased by 1000 yuan. No wonder when Sister Zhong handed him the salary bag, she patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile that she would work hard.Lin Jiale was jumping up and down with excitement, this matter could only be enjoyed secretly, and could not be shared with others, because the salaries of the employees in the factory were all kept secret.

Lin Jiale walked briskly to find the brothers in the warehouse to drink. Before he left the office building, he was stopped by a man: "Ale, should I ask for the meal that you owe me? I'm getting paid today, so I should be rich." gone."

Lin Jiale looked up: "Mr. He is good. Do you have to eat today?"

"What? Have a date today?" He Fangxu looked at him with a half-smile.

Lin Jiale smiled a little embarrassedly: "No, my colleague and I have made an appointment for dinner tonight."

He Fangxu said: "What colleague, do I know him? I'll go too."

Lin Jiale quickly shook his head: "Mr. He, you better not go, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow night, okay?" As soon as he imagined He Fangxu in a suit and leather shoes and followed them to eat at a street stall, he felt that the scene was against harmony no matter what he thought. .

He Fangxu said with some disappointment: "Okay then, just tomorrow night, after work, you come to the top floor to find me."

Lin Jiale thought about it: "OK!"

When going to work at noon the next day, Lin Jiale took 500 yuan and put it in his pocket. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and took two more. He hoped that Boss He would take it easy and not let himself bleed too much.When getting off work, Lin Jiale dawdled, waited for his colleagues to go to the cafeteria, then quietly climbed up to the sixth floor, knocked on the door of the vice president's office, and He Fangxu said inside, "Come in!"

Lin Jiale pushed the door open and went in: "Mr. He."

"Yo, it's pretty punctual. I'll be ready soon, you sit down first." He Fangxu quickly put away the table.

Lin Jiale didn't sit down either. He turned around to look at the trophies and pennants on the display racks. He had seen them last time when he came here. Some were made of glass, some were made of stainless steel, and some were gilded, shiny and golden. It looks quite pompous.Lin Jiale took a look, it was some rewards issued by D City, they seemed to be very famous, Lin Jiale didn't know, these things were actually very empty, they were all used to support the facade.

"Let's go." He Fangxu picked up the suit jacket on the chair, "Do you want to eat anything?"

Lin Jiale blinked: "Didn't Mr. He order it himself?"

He Fangxu put on his clothes, raised his head and smiled: "Haha, yes, I forgot about it. Let's go, I will lead the way, and you pay the bill."

Lin Jiale said in a low voice: "Don't be too expensive, my budget is limited."

He Fangxu turned around and raised his eyebrows to look at him with interest. This action added points to him. Originally, He Fangxu was only fairly well-groomed, but because he was well dressed, he looked very personable. He was a little handsome: "How much is your budget?"

Lin Jiale lowered his head, stretched out his right hand, and spread five fingers: "There are only so many at most!"

"That's okay, it's more than I thought." He Fangxu laughed.

Lin Jiale's ears were a little red, and he was cursing in his heart. Compared to your big boss, 500 yuan is of course nothing, but I can't spend 500 yuan a month.
