all for the cub

"You don't work hard at a young age, and you learn all the stinking habits of spending time and drinking, and you think you are from the city after going to a big city for a few years? You don't feel ashamed and don't think about my old face !” The middle-aged man with a flushed face pointed at him and reprimanded him angrily. His eyes that had been yellow all year round looked like two burning oil barrels at the moment. People borrowed money to go to college, and the neighbors thought that I was treating you harshly and forbidding you to study! Now you know and come to beg me? Tell you, figure out your own way!"

"Dad, I..." Even though he has never had a good face a few times since he was a child in this family, he has already been thick-skinned, and his face is red and white. Suppressing her shame and anger, she tried to communicate with the man, but she was interrupted impatiently as soon as she started talking.

"Dad, what dad! Don't call me!" The man snorted heavily, and strode out the door with his sleeves thrown behind his back.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and the vegetable shelf under the courtyard wall was covered with vine leaves, and several half-green and half-red tomatoes were hanging on it.

"Grandpa..." The child lying in the yard playing with the stone flakes saw the middle-aged man walking out of the yard, stood up and yelled, wanting to follow.

"Go back, I'm not free," the middle-aged man waved at the child angrily, drove him back, and closed the half-worn iron door.

The child stared at the iron door resentfully for a while, then turned around and walked into the room dejectedly, climbed onto a chair and sat down, "Grandma, I want to eat ice cream."

The woman who was holding the soles of her shoes on the side pretended to be deaf and dumb for a long time. The quarrel in the room just now didn't seem to affect her indifference at all.Talk to the child as if no one else was around, "Your stomach hurts after eating ice cream, you want to get an injection again, don't you?"

"I want it!" The child pouted.

"What do you want? If you don't obey, ask your dad to come back and beat you up. If you don't eat well for a day, you will only eat snacks."

"I want to eat ice cream! I want to eat!" The child groaned and swung his legs, knocking the small stones in his hand on the wooden table. pit.

"Oh! You little bastard, you are getting worse and worse!" The woman scolded, put down the needle and thread in her hand, stood up, and went forward to grab the stone flake, "Buy, buy, buy, the money your dad brought back is not enough for you Buy snacks! No money!"

The child was slapped twice on the forehead, and burst into tears with his mouth puckered. The woman nagged and threatened, and pulled the child over and slapped the child twice, so the howl became louder.

He sat on the side to persuade the woman to turn a deaf ear to him, ignoring him like a passerby, obviously embarrassing him by making excuses.

The crying of the child and the scolding of the woman made everyone's head loud. The baby in his arms moved his legs, and seemed to be frightened by the noise, and began to cry vaguely. He patted the baby's face skillfully. The little butt shook it twice and coaxed it in a low voice.

But when the noise next to him didn't end, his comforting had no effect at all. The baby cried more and more, waving his tightly clenched fists.

After coaxing in vain for a while, he took out a few coins and handed them to the little boy who was also crying sadly, coaxing him, "Rui Rui, right? Don't cry, Second Uncle will give you the money, go buy ice cream."

The little boy's dry howling has long been slapped by the woman into a real cry, with snot and tears hanging on his face, he looked at him in a daze, reached out to grab the money handed over, but was slapped, and the tears that had just stopped came back again. to fall down.

His face remained unchanged, and he was still smiling, "It's okay, take it, take it."

The change was stuffed into his hand, the little boy gave his grandma a weak look, grabbed the money, jumped off the chair and ran away.

The room fell silent for a while, and the crying of the baby gradually weakened.

The woman sat back in her original position to put on the soles of her shoes, her complexion was neither good nor bad, a few strands of dyed and faded hair were hanging by her ears, she flicked it a few times while looking at it out of the corner of her eye, coaxing in a low voice He is the child.

After the baby fell asleep again, he brought up the topic again, "Aunt Zhen, take him with me, it won't take too long, and I'll pick him up as soon as my work stabilizes."

"..." The woman was silent for a while, "I still have to take care of Xiaorui, but I can't take care of it. Jiang Yan gives 1000 yuan a month, and I put in all the extra. Your child is only a few months old, and I can't take care of her." .”

He smiled, "Don't worry about the cost. I'll buy milk powder and diapers myself, and I'll give you 2000 yuan a month for living expenses."

"...That's not the problem. I occasionally have to help others to earn some oil and salt money. I don't have so much time. Xiao Rui, I just help him wash clothes and cook. I usually play in the yard by myself. , otherwise I won’t be able to take care of it.” The woman said slowly, staring at the sole of the shoe in her hand without raising her head.

Her words were full of loopholes. Although he hadn't been at home for several years, he still knew what was going on at home. Jiang Rui was given to her to take care of him when he was a few months old. Now he said he couldn't take care of him.But Jiang Rui is her own grandson, so he will not force the comparison, he does not understand what she means.

"It's tiring to take care of children, and it's really hard to bring up Ruirui so much," he said along with her words, "I haven't honored you properly for so many years, and I feel very guilty."

As he said that, he took out a small stack of cash from his bag and put it all in front of her, "A little heart, you accept it, buy some clothes and supplements, it's not as good as big brothers and sisters, don't be disgusted."

The movement of the woman's hands slowed down, she glanced at the money, but said nothing.

Seeing that her attitude was loose, he struck while the iron was hot and said, "The price of goods is high now, and 2000 yuan of living expenses is really nothing. I'll give you [-] yuan, and the milk powder and diapers are extra. Just take it for me for a few months, and I won't bother you too much." old."

This condition is already the maximum he can give, if it is not enough, he can only find another way.But if it wasn't that he had nothing to do, how could he come back from thousands of miles to beg them, say all the good things to accompany his smiling faces, and still be scolded with his nose pointed at him.

3000 yuan, in this small town, is considered a very good condition.

But the woman was still hesitating, "Is this child really yours?"

"Yes," he smiled, with a strange expression, "my own son."

"what is it call?"

"...The little name is Lele," he said slowly, "The big name hasn't come up yet."

"No registered permanent residence?" The woman frowned.

"Not yet, time is too tight, I'll come back later to do it."

"Now the registration of household registration is strictly controlled. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your child to have no mother." The woman said coldly, and gave him a meaningful look.

He seemed to be clueless about the taunts in her words, and his expression was calm, "It's okay, I have a junior high school classmate who is at the town police station, and I'll just ask him for help when the time comes."

The woman nodded, "Oh, I forgot, you went to college and you have a lot of knowledge."

After finishing speaking, she packed up the unfinished shoe soles, needles and threads, put them into the back room together with the cash, and when she came out, she patted on her clothes and reached out to hug the baby in his arms, "Show me, you're not sick, are you?" ?”

"Very healthy," he suppressed his unhappiness, without changing his expression, and handed the baby to her with a slight smile.

Perhaps the sleeping baby sensed that he was about to leave his father's arms, and moved his little hand, twisting his body a little uneasily.

"Since you leave it to me, don't worry," the woman said as she carried the baby to the back room. "Bring in the milk powder luggage."

rest assured?He can't trust anyone.

But he is a big man, no matter how aggressive he is, he is not supercilious, such a small guy, he can't leave his eyes and hands for almost 24 hours, he needs to work and make money, how can he balance it?

It is not easy to work hard in a bustling big city. It may be possible to afford a baby with that little salary, but no matter what, it is impossible to hire a nanny.

The suddenly empty arms made him a little uncomfortable, and he stood up after two seconds of dullness, pulled the wrinkled hem of his clothes, and turned to pick up the package.

"There's still..." He was holding his things and wanted to explain something, but when he turned around, he found that the door of the back room had disappeared inexplicably, and there was only a bare wall standing there. He was the only one talking to himself at the end.

"Lele!" He turned pale with fright, threw away the package and called out in horror, "Lele!"

Sitting up abruptly, his whole body trembled and panted continuously, he felt lingering fear and at the same time was full of rejoicing, luckily it was just a dream.

The lights on the ceiling were still, the warm wind blew into the open window, and the curtains were slightly raised. The bright light made him squint his eyes, and let out a sigh of relief. The fear just now has not dissipated for a long time.

I haven't sent him a picture of Lele for several days, so I have to make a phone call today to ask about it.

The shadow in the dream oppressed his beating nerves, Jiang Chengchuan grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table, and subconsciously wanted to make a call.However, seeing that the time was only past six o'clock, he stopped his movements again. He probably didn't wake up so early, so he might call again at noon.

He fell back on the bed exhausted, turned over and hugged the pillow into his arms, and could sleep for another hour.

The alarm clock rings, get up on time.

Shirt and suit pants are the most common and error-prone combination in the sales industry. Apart from the monotony of wearing it every day, it seems to have many advantages: simple but capable, don't worry about being outdated, and the best choice for men in the same industry.

But if he could, he would still prefer to wear sports shoes and casual clothes, rather than wearing the uniforms issued uniformly, which would be the same every shift.

Due to professional needs, Jiang Chengchuan must take good care of his own image and study it over and over again.

Obviously got up very early, unexpectedly it was time to go out and go out.He went out the door with his handbag, and just as the door closed, he heard a ding from the direction of the elevator, followed by the sound of the elevator door opening.

There are many tenants in this apartment, and several units are shared houses. One building has at least 200 people.The elevator stops at every level during the commute every day. If you don’t catch up, the waiting time for the elevator will be really frustrating.

It's not easy to make money, and there's nothing to be disdainful about co-renting to save rent. Jiang Chengchuan, who was lucky enough to rent a small one-bedroom apartment, expressed his understanding of the crowded elevator and was very cooperative.

As soon as he heard the sound of the elevator arriving, Jiang Chengchuan quickly locked the door, took out the key and strode towards the elevator room.

When I got to the elevator room, I saw that the elevator hadn't left yet, and the inside was packed. The person who pressed the door button saw the surprised expression when he came, and smiled, "I saw you were closing the door just now."

It was a young man who had been his neighbor for half a year. He had a round face and a short crew cut. He often saw each other when he went in and out, but this was the first time he had a serious conversation.

"Thank you," Jiang Chengchuan raised his foot and was about to enter the elevator, but was rushed by someone behind him.

"..." Jiang Chengchuan has always talked about demeanor before, and he didn't say anything. He still had the same smile on his face for thousands of years. It doesn't matter if you go first.

"I'm sorry, I haven't finished the overtime task yesterday, so I'm in a hurry to catch up," the man apologized to Jiang Chengchuan, stepped back and signaled him to come up.

"I can tell, the dark circles under my eyes are heavy," Jiang Chengchuan teased him with a nonchalant smile, and stepped into the car.

What's embarrassing is that as soon as he stepped in, a harsh alarm sounded in the elevator. He was overweight, and everyone in the elevator looked sideways.

"It's okay, you guys go first, I'll wait for the next one," Jiang Chengchuan exited the elevator, and signaled to Xiao Liu from the same department who had been pressing the door open button, "I'll see you later."

"Okay, then hurry up and don't be late," Xiao Liu said winkingly, then let go of the elevator and closed the elevator.

The floor fell silent in an instant. It was estimated that it was almost time to go. The doors of all the rooms were closed silently. Jiang Chengchuan's smiling face fell silent for a long time. He looked at his watch. There was still enough time, and he could still catch up with the next one. That train time.

However, there is a saying that it is not as good as the sky, and he failed to squeeze in the next two elevators. In the end, the elevator went up and took up a seat first, so he was able to go downstairs smoothly.

The elevator arrived at the lobby on the first floor, and more than a dozen people walked out in a crowd. The ease of getting off the elevator did not make their steps brisk, and they all rushed to the nearest subway entrance with a tragic expression of a hero.

"Hurry up, I won't be able to squeeze into the subway again in a while!" Two girls in cool clothes pulled each other and ran forward.

"Tomorrow, I must go out early. If I squeeze the elevator and the subway like this every day, sooner or later there will be a day when I will miss it!"

The two sighed as they ran, their long flowing hair and the sweet smell of perfume attracted other men to stare at them while striding forward.

Relying on his height and long legs, Jiang Chengchuan easily surpassed the anxious crowd and ran into the subway entrance first.

The subway in the morning shift was as crowded as ever, and it seemed that the time would be too late. Jiang Chengchuan didn't care about being polite to strangers this time, and squeezed into the subway with all his might, found a corner in the jostling carriage, and stood still, panting slightly. Tidy up your clothes and hair.

"Look, there's a handsome guy there," the two little girls gathered together to peek at him, and one of them even secretly took a few photos with his mobile phone.

The fat man standing on both sides of her also turned his head following her gaze, and looked at Jiang Chengchuan boredly with squinted eyes that were about to become unconscious, and his eyes turned around on his handbag and watch. , and finally gave a contemptuous look, carrying this kind of bag and wearing this kind of watch to squeeze the subway, it is either a fake or a fake.

Jiang Chengchuan didn't pay attention to their eyes. He quietly closed the hair that fell to his forehead against the dark subway window, and pressed his eyelids that had been throbbing, hoping that it would calm down quickly, so as not to really jump out of trouble.

After getting off the subway, I strode all the way to Kaisheng International Shopping Center.

Just as Jiang Chengchuan walked out of the break room after stepping on the red line to print his work card, the store manager arrived. During the morning meeting, he deliberately gave Jiang Chengchuan a meaningful look, adjusted his glasses and continued to explain the work content.

Ever since he offended that wealthy VIP customer last time, Jiang Chengchuan has unsurprisingly become a thorn in the side of the store manager and a key target of stalking.

Jiang Chengchuan couldn't ignore the "special attention" from his immediate boss. For this decent salary, he had to work hard to perform well, and strive to get better rewards, such as buying milk powder and diapers , Calling over there to ask for living expenses will not be in a hurry.
