"Where do you want to put it?" After a few seconds of silence, Tang Yuan asked in harmony.

Sang Ye raised her round arms and pointed to the bedside table in the new room.

Tang Yuan took the family portrait from Sang Ye, blew the dust off the glass, and placed it on the glass.His eyes turned red before he knew it, he missed them as much as Sang Ye.

A cool little hand took his hand.

"Uncle Tangyuan, you said you would visit me every week, is that true?"

The kid Sangye, who had been calm since he learned that he was going to be picked up by a stranger, finally showed anxiety in line with his age at this moment.

With a sore nose, Tang Yuan squatted down to look at him, squeezed his bulging cheeks with both hands as usual, and coaxed softly, "Of course it's true, I come every Saturday."

"Are you coming after get off work? Then I'll go to bed later, and I won't fall asleep when you come. "

Tang Yuan's heart ached so much, he stroked his soft hair, and suppressed his emotions and said, "No, uncle will come sooner."

"Then Lagougou, you have to be trustworthy. You can't lie to children. Children will learn to be bad." Sang Ye stretched out her short little finger and looked at Tang Yuan solemnly.

Tang Yuan knew that since his sister and brother-in-law had an accident and Sang Ye understood what death was, his already precocious temperament became more sensitive and insecure.

The two checked and locked the lock. Tang Yuan couldn't help telling: "Little Ye Zi, be good, listen to Aunt Xu and Mr. Sang, go to bed early and get up early, eat seriously, be polite to new classmates and teachers, and be polite to new classmates and teachers before eating. Be sure to check for nuts, and tell an adult immediately if you feel unwell, got it?"

"Understood." Sang Ye's milky voice responded, "Tangyuan, I am very worried about you alone, you have to take care of yourself, remember to put a few slices of green vegetables in the noodles, and take a taxi if you can't catch the bus after the night shift. Save money and walk, there are many bad guys outside.”

"Okay, I know, you are uncle and I am uncle!"

"It's what mother said, you haven't grown up yet."

He is grown up now.

Overnight, the price is heavy and there is no other choice.

"Little Yezi, you have to trust uncle. It's not that uncle doesn't want you, it's because I can't make you live a better life. But if Mr. Sang treats you badly, beats you and scolds you, you can tell uncle that I will fight him I will also bring you back, do you know?"

The breeze at night in early autumn is chilly, refreshing and desolate.

Tang Yuan went out wearing only a T-shirt, his hands and feet were already cold, so when he got home, he nestled in the sofa and wrapped himself in a blanket.

The doors and windows are closed tightly, isolating the busy traffic on the street outside the house, and the curtains cover a dim light in the living room, so that it can't get out, and can't be integrated into the city's thousands of lights.

It was so quiet, there was no sound at all.

Perfect for a good cry.

Tang Yuan had never cried like this when he was in the hospital, because there were rescue and cremation documents waiting for him to sign.He didn't cry like this at the funeral, because he wanted to greet his sister and brother-in-law's colleagues and leaders alone.He didn't dare to cry like this in front of Xiao Yezi, let alone at school or where he worked.

He was alone now, and there was nothing else to worry about.

I don't know what time he was tired from crying, and he didn't have the strength to go back to the room, so he just slept on the sofa all night until the alarm clock woke him up in the morning.

On Sunday, when there was no need to prepare breakfast for Xiao Yezi, Tang Yuan grabbed two slices of bread to deal with it, and then took the bus to the school library to read.He missed a lot of classes this semester, so he had to learn by himself to recover his progress.

It turned out that the roommate in the dormitory knew that something happened to his family, so he didn't dare to talk too much with him, but he just borrowed notes silently, and borrowed materials if he had materials. Week.

Tang Yuan is a person who knows how to be grateful. He thanked his classmates one by one, and agreed to invite everyone to come home to cook hot pot after the exam.

The warm classmate caring is not enough to understand, and the cruel society beats him after him, and slaps Tang Yuan severely.

The convenience store owner who worked the night shift called him over temporarily.The reason was that when the boss reconciled the account, he found that there were a few imported cigarettes and a few bottles of wine missing in the store, with a total value of over a thousand.After asking about the day shift and night shift, the three employees including Tang Yuan said they didn't know about it, so they spent a day checking the monitoring, and it turned out that the shop was stolen during Tang Yuan's working hours.

Tang Yuan watched the surveillance video shown to him by the boss, and then recalled the scene when the thieves came to the store.

The convenience store is located on a famous "teaching street", and there are various children's interest classes and youth competition classes next to each other, like art training and college entrance examination retake institutions usually end classes at night, which happens to be Tang Yuan's work time.

He remembered five or six boys who looked like high school came in that night, and they looked like they had just finished school and wanted to buy a late-night snack. One of them said that the chicken rolls in the warming cabinet were too old, and asked Tang Yuan if he could bake some new ones for him. Yes, I can wait.

Of course, Tang Yuan didn't refuse. He went to the freezer to get a new semi-finished chicken roll and started to work. It took about 15 minutes until the boys packed and paid for it. In the middle, he also greeted two other customers who bought drinks.

Unexpectedly, during the short time when he was preparing the food, several boys covered each other, took cigarettes and alcohol from the shelf and hid them in their schoolbags, and then left together as if nothing had happened.

"Boss, I'm sorry, I really didn't see it that day." Tang Yuan couldn't figure it out, how could a high school student who looked like he had enough to eat and wear brand-name sneakers steal something, and it was obviously committed by a skilled team , "Do you want to call the police?"

"I have already reported it, but the camera in our store can't take a clear picture of the face. If these guys don't steal it here in the future, there is a high probability that they won't be found." The boss is a fat middle-aged uncle with a kind face , sighed helplessly towards Tang Yuan, and taught him what the police said.

"Boss, how much are those things worth in total? Otherwise, I'll pay for it." Tang Yuan apologized. It was indeed his dereliction of duty and he shouldn't let others bear the loss.

"Hey, Xiao Tang, you've only come here to work for two weeks, and I know that the salary is not high." The boss closed the computer with a very embarrassed expression on his face, "But I'm a small business, so how much turnover do you have in one night? clearly."

Tang Yuan nodded, he really should pay the money.

"If you do a good job, if you lose some small things in this store occasionally, it's okay if you make up the money."

The boss stopped when he said this, and Tang Yuan noticed that there was something in his words, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Sure enough, the boss changed his tone, "But you said you, you were late three times in two weeks and left early once, and once I saw you fell asleep lying on the counter, and you woke up after customers knocked on the door for a long time. How can this be possible."

"Boss, I'm sorry. I had something to do at home a while ago. I was really in a hurry. I will definitely not do it in the future." Tang Yuan raised his pitiful face and hurriedly assured the boss.

In order to reduce the pressure on his sister, Tang Yuan has been working part-time since high school. He used to work as a waiter in the restaurant every day after class and on weekends. He just found this night job in a convenience store after his sister's accident in order to earn more money.Because I have to take care of Xiao Yezi, there is often not enough time, especially in traffic jams or delayed buses.Of course, he never talked to his boss about these things. His difficulties are always his own, and there is no need to live by gaining sympathy from others.

The boss obviously didn't listen to his promise, and he was going to fire him today, but seeing his fair and well-behaved face, who was not a few years older than his own children, he couldn't bear to say too seriously, "You students should still put their studies first. , this kind of night shift is too much to bear, don't rush to earn money independently, if your parents can provide for you, you can study hard at ease."

Tang Yuan knew that it was useless to say more, so he mentioned it again in a low voice with his head downcast: "Then I will compensate you for the lost money."

The boss is a straightforward person. He used a calculator to count the number for Tang Yuan, and pushed it in front of him, "Let me figure it out. Your salary for the past two weeks is almost enough to cover my cost. I won't ask you for it. The salary is just I won’t send it to you, and I won’t use it starting tonight, do you think it’s okay?”

Tang Yuan bit his lower lip, bowed to the boss, and said sincerely: "Thank you boss, I wish the store a prosperous business and a lot of money in the future."

The boss smiled wryly and waved his hands, "Go, go back to school."

Walking out of the tutoring street, Tang Yuan went to the nearest bus station. This job was gone. Fortunately, the job in the restaurant was still there. We should cherish it and work harder in the future.

When his sister and brother-in-law were still there, he didn’t have to worry about the mortgage, property, water, electricity and gas bills. The money earned by the restaurant was enough to meet the daily expenses of the university, and occasionally he could take Xiao Yezi to eat a luxurious McDonald’s set meal.Now these burdens have fallen on me, seeing the balance that the bank can't support for a long time, there is no other way out except to find another job.

But even if he squeezed all the school classes in the morning, he would have no extra time to work another day job, only at night.While waiting for the bus, he checked all the recruitment information on the Internet. He didn't see any other 24-hour convenience stores recruiting people, and places like hotels and Internet cafes that were open all night did not recruit inexperienced people like him.

In the evening, when the restaurant was about to change shifts, the head waiter saw that Tang Yuan did not rush out for the first time this month, but tidied up the changed work clothes without haste, and teased him: "Xiao Yuan, are you not in a hurry to go on a date today?"

Tang Yuan shyly denied embarrassingly: "Sister Zhang, I don't have a girlfriend."

"There are a lot of people chasing you in school, isn't it because they are too high-sighted and haven't chosen yet?" Sister Zhang has no bad intentions, but at this age, when she sees a handsome girl in her 20s, I can always make up an idol drama with intricate love-hate entanglements in my mind, so as to make up for my bland youth time.

"No, no one is really chasing me." Tang Yuan wanted to clarify quickly, but he was not telling the truth.

There are indeed people who chase after him, and they are basically seniors who are a year or two older than him, and there are also some who are attractive at first glance.

It didn't exist before, and it's even more impossible now.Anyone who is with him will inevitably be dragged down.

Still don't harm other girls.
