Something seemed to be waking up in his mind. Zhou Runqing had seen this scene before.

It was autumn, and he was seventeen that year. He was an ordinary senior in high school. Because of his hard work, his grades were considered excellent.

However, excellent grades do not represent happiness, let alone having a sound and healthy personality.

Before he went to high school, his mother Zhou Lingxiang never mentioned the family's financial situation in front of him.

Even though she didn't say it, Zhou Runqing also knew how difficult the family was. It was too difficult for a woman with no diploma and no skills to support a boy who ate two big bowls of rice by herself.

Especially when Zhou Lingxiang wanted to raise him into an adult who was no different from a boy from an ordinary family, things became even more difficult.

Boys from ordinary families have to go to school when they reach a certain age, so Zhou Lingxiang asked Zhou Runqing to also go to school. The compulsory education stage is relatively easy, but the expenditure of kindergarten is even higher than raising a college student. When Zhou Runqing was still very young, Zhou Lingxiang had already started Hard days.

Children from ordinary families start to grow taller when they are in middle and high school, and the clothes they just bought will soon become unwearable. Zhou Lingxiang gritted her teeth and bought many sets of oversized sportswear for Zhou Runqing. Boys from ordinary families started playing basketball when they entered middle school Well, Zhou Lingxiang didn't want him to be inferior in front of his classmates, even the price of basketball bought for him was four figures.

Zhou Runqing is close to an adult, and he will know how much these things are a burden to his family.

But Zhou Lingxiang never listened to his advice.

Except for some brand-name shoes that Zhou Lingxiang couldn't afford, from the first year of junior high school to the first year of senior high school, he never left any of the things that other boys had.

It wasn't until the second semester of high school that Zhou Lingxiang's temperament suddenly changed. She didn't buy new shoes for Zhou Runqing for a long time, and when she saw his shoes were damaged, she broke down completely and started working hard to earn money. Give him a bunch of new clothes and shoes.

Zhou Lingxiang became moody. Sometimes she laughed happily when she saw the transcript that Zhou Runqing brought back, and at other times she was troubled by how much tuition fees would be required to go to a very good university with this grade.

At that time, Zhou Runqing was just a student, and there were too many things in his mind, pressure from family, pressure from studies, so that he had no time to think about the reason why Zhou Lingxiang suddenly became like this.

Zhou Lingxiang was proud of raising a son with such good grades without going to school. She never allowed him to drop out of the top ten in his grade.

Zhou Runqing worked really hard and never let her down.

Such an upside-down and depressive life, Zhou Runqing lived until the third year of high school.

He held the mobile phone that the class teacher brought to him during recess, and stood by the classroom window, like a sycamore tree growing under the eaves outside the classroom, unable to feel any light.

From the first semester of high school to the present, his mother has called him many times.

Like an ordinary high school, the high school he attends also needs to hand in his mobile phone every week and send it back before the holiday. Every time his mother calls, the head teacher will come to the classroom with his mobile phone to find him, sometimes during recess , and sometimes during class.

At first, it was once or twice a week, and then it gradually became more frequent. At most, Zhou Runqing would receive three or five calls from Zhou Lingxiang in a day.

In the beginning, the class teacher would communicate with Zhou Lingxiang on the grounds of not disturbing the children's studies, but later he saw that it was not effective, so he gave up. Every time she called, he would come to the classroom with his mobile phone and find Zhou Runqing.

Most of Zhou Lingxiang's phone calls had similar themes, asking him if he had enough to eat, if he was dressed warmly, if any of his classmates bullied him, and then asked him if he still had living expenses.

At this time, no matter what Zhou Runqing's answer is, Zhou Lingxiang will start to talk about the family affairs, saying that the family's conditions are difficult, that they have no money, and that her job of serving dishes in the hotel has been replaced by another person who is better than her. Young beautiful girl snatched.

When she said these words, the volume was not high, and she was rambling, it didn't sound like she was chatting with others, but she was talking to herself.

But Zhou Runqing heard it all, he heard it very clearly.

As a 17-year-old high school student, he knew exactly what to do to reduce stress at home.

It is the best but slowest way to study hard and repay your mother when you are promising in the future.

From high school to high school, it has been two years.

In the past two years, he has heard about the financial situation of his family countless times. Every time in the past, he listened to the teacher's teachings, studied hard, and resisted the impulse.

The shorter the time left before the college entrance examination, the more anxious he felt.

Sometimes I can't sleep for the whole night, my eyes are staring, and I accompany each other with my mind full of thoughts until dawn.

In the end he decided to leave school.

He knew that Zhou Lingxiang would definitely oppose his decision, and the school would use all words and methods to make him stay and continue studying.

But he really couldn't continue studying. Every time he thought about what he had bought for everything he enjoyed on campus, he felt his heart was tightened and he was so depressed that he couldn't breathe. When he lay on the bed in the dormitory at night, , as soon as the eyes were closed, all that appeared in the mind were the voices of Zhou Lingxiang crying and laughing for a while.

He knew it was stress, his mother had been through too much.

Since they started school, every teacher taught them not to worship money, money is the most worthless thing in this world.

It is possible that most of the people who say this sentence are not short of money, at least they have enough money in their hands.

In short, this is by no means a precarious person who feels his heart trembles every time he pays for a meal in the cafeteria and sees the number on the card drop suddenly.

Zhou Runqing turned off his mobile phone. He didn't have a leave of absence, but the old man in charge of the gate knew him. Zhou Lingxiang would sometimes come to the school to see him, and the two would stay outside the school for a few minutes.

"Your mother came to see you again?" The old man smiled kindly and opened the school gate to him.

Zhou Runqing walked out without saying a word.

He didn't have a few bucks with him, and he didn't even know where he was going.

Their school area was relatively remote. He walked for almost half an hour and passed through a train station before reaching the center of economic prosperity.

In front of a tall building wrapped in dark glass, he met a man in a suit with a serious appearance.

"Looking for a job, handsome guy?"

If you really want anything, the man handed him a business card, on which the man's name and the name of the company he worked for were printed in beautiful cursive fonts.

"I still have a few months to reach adulthood, does it matter?" Zhou Runqing asked vaguely.

He knew that, not to mention the company, even the construction site would not accept minors.

In fact, it is not a few months, but a full ten months.

The other party smiled enthusiastically, told him of course, and said that he would take him to visit the company.

"Finding a job is a two-way selection process. You can go with me to see the company environment first, and you can refuse if you are not satisfied."

Students who have not entered the society are one of the easiest groups to deceive.

Zhou Runqing thought for a while, "I'll make a phone call first."

To be on the safe side, he decided that it would be better to let his mother know where he was first. Anyway, he had already come out, and even if she came to stop him, it would be too late.

But when he touched his pocket, he realized that the mobile phone in his pocket had long since disappeared.

It should be that there were too many people near the train station and was taken away by thieves.

Just go and see, nothing should happen.

He thought so.

But when he stepped into the "company", he knew something was wrong at the first second.

The area of ​​this so-called "company" is not as spacious as he imagined. There is a large desk in the outermost room with an office computer on it. In addition, there are a few scattered chairs left, and even a water dispenser. No, it's not like there are people working here at all.

"This room is used for interviews, so the equipment is simpler." The man in the suit who brought him over explained, "Let me take you to the room inside. Our employees usually work there."

Zhou Runqing's heart had already sounded a less loud alarm, he took a step back instinctively, "I didn't bring my ID card today, can I come back another day?"

"Damn!" The man in the suit said with a smile, "It's not such a big deal. I don't have an interview today, and I don't need an ID card. I just take a brief tour. If you are satisfied, go back and get your ID card. We welcome you to come for an interview anytime."

His performance was so frank that Zhou Run wondered if he was thinking too much.

Xi Zhongnan put one hand on his shoulder, and walked inside like a kind elder, holding him.

Unlike the glass doors that can be seen in most shopping malls, there is a dark wooden door between the outermost room and the inner room.

Anyway, it doesn't feel like a company here.

Xi Zhongnan held the doorknob and pushed the door open.

Zhou Runqing also saw the situation in the house clearly.

There is a TV cabinet in the room that is not too spacious. The TV on the TV cabinet is very old. It is different from the large and thin LCD TV. It is very bulky and there are some channels under the screen. and volume buttons.

And in this so-called "company environment", a group of men and women are mixed together, smoking cigarettes, playing cards, some are anxiously pressing their mobile phones, as if they are completely unaware of their arrival.

There were tall men standing in several corners of the room. They didn't hold any weapons in their hands, but just looking at them made people shy.

Zhou Runqing was not an idiot, his heart was beating fast in an instant, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was pushed hard into the room by his shoulders with both hands, and fell to the ground in an instant.

Then, several burly men standing in the corner of the room came over and held him down. His head was pinned to the ground, and his cheeks were firmly pressed against the cold floor tiles.

He can't get out.
