Baby

But in fact, Tang Li still knew it in his heart.His older brother is different from him, both of them have their own pursuits.

On this day, Jiang Ye got up early, picked out his best-looking suit, and brought a briefcase with him to go out for an interview.Tang Li saw that he was also absent-minded about breakfast, so he proposed to go with his brother.

Jiang Ye's eyes lit up immediately: "Are you really willing?"

Tang Li smiled.

"Then what will you do when I go to the interview?"

"I'll wait for you downstairs." Tang Li thought for a while, "By the way... look at the location. I'm thinking about changing a store recently."

"Change a shop?"

"Well," Tang Li hesitated, before explaining, "I've thought about it, the cost of the current store is still a bit high. Word of mouth is also very important for a store. I just want to change the location and rent a new one. Small storefront, for breakfast."

Jiang Ye nodded in agreement: "It's good to make breakfast. Then change it!"

Before going out, the two exchanged words of encouragement.Fortunately, today's traffic seems to be exceptionally smooth, and there are almost no traffic jams along the way.Jiang Ye paid [-] percent attention to the company interview.As soon as he went upstairs, Tang Li wandered around the surrounding stores, taking a rest, waiting patiently for Jiang Ye to come back.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, pushed open the office door, and politely extended his hand to the two interviewers.

"Please sit down."

Jiang Ye sat down and raised his head to make his expression less tense.

The interview process generally went smoothly. HR asked a few standard questions, and Jiang Ye was not a newcomer to the workplace, so he naturally answered them fluently.It can be seen that HR is still very satisfied with Jiang Ye's work experience and attitude.At the end of the interview, Jiang Ye gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and he probably had a bottom line in his heart.Based on the remuneration and conditions offered by this company, the job is actually quite good.

If he can apply for the job, Jiang Ye will definitely work hard and be careful, and work hard in this position.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the interview, an ordinary and ordinary question: "Your treatment and work experience in the previous company seem to be very good, what made you resign from the previous company and choose to work in our company?" Woolen cloth?"

Jiang Ye was speechless.

The interviewer seemed to see Jiang Ye's nervousness, which made him feel even more uneasy. He gulped down a mouthful of saliva, and his palms began to break out in cold sweat.

"Is there any serious bad history in your resume or personal file?"

"Mr. Jiang?"

After a short time, Jiang Ye went downstairs.Seeing Tang Li with an unconcealed look of disappointment, Tang Li immediately understood.

"It's okay," Tang Li shook Jiang Ye's palm, "Let's go to the next one."

I interviewed three companies in the morning.Unfortunately, HR's final attitude seems to be not very optimistic.

After hearing the reason for Jiang Ye's resignation from the previous company, everyone expressed hesitation in hiring him.In fact, it is also understandable that in the current economic downturn, no company dares to make a decision easily for an employee who has a criminal record or is suspected of being "violent".

So Jiang Ye finally got a lot of "waiting for notice" endings.

But he knew clearly in his heart that if this continues, this "notification" will never be able to wait.

How can we reverse the situation?He has left such a dark history that he can hardly stay in this industry now.But if he wants to change careers and start from scratch, he is almost 30 years old now, and the cost of time is too great.

Could it be that he is doomed to go from bad to worse?He refused to accept.But the reality is not as full as the ideal after all, and the gap between them is dragging down Jiang Ye's heart day by day.

In another sleepless night, Jiang Ye sat on the balcony, squinting at the starry sky.His mind was chaotic, and many faces appeared for a while.Tang Li, Mom and Dad, the goat...these faces are intertwined, with sweet and bitter emotions overlapping, making one's chest hard to breathe.

Jiang Ye hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long, long time.Staying up too late, there is a black circle under the eye sockets, and the beard stubble also appeared, but I am not in the mood to take care of it.

Jiang Ye dug out a pack of crumpled cigarettes, found a lighter and lit it.I haven't smoked for a long time, and the unfamiliar smell of smoke is a bit pungent, and I can't get used to it for a while.But when people have something on their minds, they always like to think wildly and do other things to vent their emotions.For example, drinking, for example, smoking.

He was a never-smoker, but since when did he start using an ashtray?

Maybe it was the time when I just graduated from university and was troubled because I couldn't find a job.At that time, he was very anxious every day, and unknowingly contracted the bad habit of smoking, and he smoked several packs in succession.Later, when I got a stable job, I quit smoking.What is ironic is that after many years, he smoked again for the same reason.

but……

Jiang Ye squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt that his hands were empty, and in the next second, there was a stubbed cigarette butt in the ashtray in front of him.Jiang Ye followed the finger holding the cigarette and looked up, and found that it was Tang Li who was wearing a thin blanket and had a red nose.

And Tang Li was also looking at him, with some indistinct regret and depression in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "Brother, stop smoking."

Jiang Ye wanted to speak, but was choked by the smell of smoke in his mouth.He coughed uncomfortably, Tang Li frowned and patted him on the back, his eyes full of distress: "Brother, you didn't smoke before."

Jiang Ye shook his head and touched his forehead: "...why didn't you sleep?"

"Brother, don't worry about work." Tang Li said softly, "My store has also reopened. During this time, we will run the restaurant together and earn some money every day."

Jiang Ye smiled, knowing in his heart that Tang Li wanted him to divert his attention, but this was not a long-term solution after all.The gloom on Jiang Ye's face persisted, and he unconsciously reached into his pocket to take out a cigarette.Tang Li stopped him in time and said, "Brother, let me get you a glass of water."

Jiang Ye stopped smoking and drank the warm water Tang Li poured for him, and his heart couldn't stop feeling warm.

"Brother," Tang Li looked up at Jiang Ye, and said softly, "I know you are very sad now. I want to share it with you. No matter how many difficulties we have in the future, we will face them together."

Jiang Ye's eye sockets were a little moist.

It turned out that there was an extra Tang Li by his side.It turned out that he was no longer alone.

At this moment, Jiang Ye suddenly wanted to confide some bitterness to Tang Li, and talk about what he had been suppressing all these years.He didn't like to convey negative energy to others, but the target was Tang Li. Because it was Tang Li, Jiang Ye could feel at ease.

"For so many years, the only thing I regret the most is when I was in college, because I couldn't balance part-time work and study, I had to give up attending classes on time, giving up scholarships, and giving up postgraduate entrance examinations... I was working part-time every day. In my spare time, my classmates go to the library to read books, or go on a trip outside to relax. But I can only face the glowing computer screen, thinking about how to write a good paper so that I can earn some money manuscript fee."

Tang Li's heart groaned.It turned out that he and his brother had the same idea.Tang Li was also full of despair and pain when he was cheated into going to the factory and his personal freedom was restricted and he was unable to continue his studies.It turns out that my brother, like him, has experienced a lot of hardships in life.

"After graduating from university, in order to find a good job, I was busy submitting resumes, interviewing, and re-examinations every day... Of course, I didn't have time to write papers to earn manuscript fees, or to do some part-time jobs. But there will be new additions The pressure of a rent, and the medical expenses of my father are also a big one." Jiang Ye choked up, his eyelashes trembling slightly, "You said, how can there be such a word as easy in the adult world? I was very impressed. At that time, I I was still a rookie at the grassroots level. When I was working overtime late at night and changing the plan, it happened that my father had a sudden high temperature. After I rushed to the hospital to resettle my father, I realized that the plan I just changed was not saved in a panic. Small things, but it became a cluster of sparks that aroused all the depression in my heart. On the one hand, I couldn't pay the rent, the landlord's ugly face, on the other hand, I couldn't make an important plan, the boss's disappointed expression, and finally, my mother bent over tired , sitting next to Dad lying on the hospital bed with medical tubes inserted into his body..."

Tang Li reached out and hugged Jiang Ye: "Brother..."

"Tang Li, I don't want to go through these things again—" Jiang Ye also stretched out his hand, hugged Tang Li's waist tightly, buried his face in his neck, his shoulders trembled due to the ups and downs of emotions , "Our good days have just begun, how can we fall back to the bottom like this? I still don't regret beating up the beast that hurt the goat, but, I don't know, I really don't know what will happen in the future So... I'm sorry, Tang Li, I'm really sorry. You are so kind, but I let you all suffer with me..."

Speaking of the latter, Jiang Ye's voice was already a little choked up.Tang Li let go of Jiang Ye's hand, but found that his eyes were red, and his expression was in a state of embarrassment.

"Brother," Tang Li raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, gently wiped the corner of Jiang Ye's eyes with his fingers, and said solemnly and seriously, "This kind of thing will never happen again. You are right , the good days have just begun.”

Jiang Ye raised his hazy eyes and heard Tang Li say to him: "When I was taken by my aunt to work in the factory, every day was meaningless to me. But it's different now. Now I'm by my brother's side, and my brother is also there." By my side, my father and mother are also by our side. Brother, if it was me at that time, I would rush to teach that person a lesson without hesitation. If my parents were changed, they would do the same thing. So this is not yours Wrong, family is to understand and support each other in difficult times, isn't it? And..."

Tang Li moved closer, and a salty and soft kiss was engraved on the corner of Jiang Ye's lips.

"I don't think I'm suffering. Brother, I feel very happy to be with you."

Jiang Ye's eyes turned red, he hugged Tang Li, kissed his lips, and kissed him tenderly.

"Well, let's face it together."

Jiang Ye was still busy running around every day, saddened by repeated failed interviews.But the difference is that every time he walks out of the office building with heavy steps, he can always see Tang Li waiting for him with a smile on his face.

As a result, the haze in his heart was dispelled by the smile of the sun, and his mood cleared up unconsciously.

Come on, let's stay together as a family.

There will be a day when the clouds will open to see the sun, and the rain will pass.
