luck on thursday

Even if he might be kicked out in embarrassment, he must find a place where he can keep warm!

Lin Qingyang quickly turned down from the bench, walked back to the residential area from a small road, knocked on doors from door to door, wiped her face, and showed the most kind smile to the owner who opened the door.

But the ashes picked up from the bridge hole still exposed the essence of wandering. The first person who opened the door was taken aback, hesitated for a while, shook his head and closed the door, and checked whether there were his accomplices around from the envelope entrance of the door.

No one from the second house opened the door. They may have gone out, or they may be vigilantly watching him through the cat's eyes inside.

The third household...

The fourth household...

Rosaburg is one of the most prosperous cities, with countless foreign populations pouring into the city every year, but the original residents of the city don't reject them—and don't accept them very much.For the local residents, these outsiders who come and go in a hurry, full of fatigue and dust, are just another part of the city.

Among them are those who are eager to get rich, those who seek opportunity... and those who are desperate and reveal their dark side.

Lin Qingyang knocked on a row of doors one after another, and there were only a few people who were willing to chat with him and then reject him, and most of them slammed on the door without saying a word, or observed from the dark without saying a word. family.

Another family stood behind a threshold three steps higher than him, looked at him contemptuously from top to bottom, and slowly closed the door.

Lin Qingyang looked at him blankly, lowered her head and rubbed her face.

"Maybe, the next household will be able to... Ah Choo!"

Lin Qingyang covered her mouth violently, but still sneezed loudly.

dong dong.

creak-

Before the door opened, he quickly pulled up his sleeves, wiped his face, and combed his hair, trying to make himself look not so bad.Maybe it will be successful this time?he thought optimistically.

It was the hostess who opened the door, wearing ordinary warm home clothes and a plaid apron, with a not-so-obvious smell of oily smoke. Her long and curly hair was tied with a red ribbon and hung lazily on her shoulders. She looked kind and gentle. mild.

Looking behind her, you can still see a middle-aged man and a little boy sitting on a chair in a small room, placing chess pieces in the chess box with their hands. The little boy climbed down from his father's lap and grabbed the chess pieces Stuffing it into his father's hand, the man smiled and held it.

The draft that was originally planned in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, Lin Qingyang was stunned, the warm light in the room illuminated his azure pupils clearly, and his fluent mouth suddenly stuttered.

"You... how are you?"

With one hand on the doorknob and the other clutching her apron, the hostess greeted him hesitantly, as if she was nervous about meeting a stranger rather than a strange homeless person.

"...May I do anything for you?" His thoughts ran away, and was brought back to reality by the hostess' voice. Lin Qingyang shivered and grabbed the hem of his clothes, like a homeless little beast.

He said softly: "Madam, I'm sorry to bother you, can you..."

The words suddenly got stuck in his throat and spewed out from the corner of his eyes. Lin Qingyang immediately covered his face and waved to the hostess: "I'm sorry, sorry to bother you." Then she turned around and wanted to leave.

Before turning around, the hostess's hesitant but gentle voice sounded: "Would you like to come in for a glass of water? Our family just cooked some bolognese noodles, maybe you will like the onion flavor..."

Lin Qingyang interrupted her: "You are very kind." He paused for a moment, biting his lower lip slightly, "But I don't like onion-flavored meat sauce noodles very much."

The hostess opened her eyes wide, and she waved her hand, trying to get the boy who suddenly visited to come back: "Hey, wait a minute, the mushroom flavor..."

But Lin Qingyang had already run far away. He tore off the black bag that had exposed a hole again, put on the black coat he brought from the home he had lost long ago, his trousers were dusty, and ran away from that strange block like the wind , ran farther and farther, faster and faster, the street lights that had not been completely extinguished turned into inconspicuous little sparks in the retina, scattered around.

There was no sun, so the wind was cold and whizzing.

Arriving at another strange block, Lin Qingyang gradually stopped running.He changed his running to walking, hurried past those luxuriously decorated gates, and finally stopped in front of the last and corner gate.

This is the last one, if it doesn't work, he will sleep on the park bench, use the air conditioner in the 24-hour convenience store, go to... a place where no one will see, rectify there, and then go to welcome the wind and sunshine tomorrow.

He took out the only change he had on him, held it in his hand, and knocked on the door of this house resolutely.

"Excuse me," the door opened, Lin Qingyang closed her eyes, her voice was still choked with lingering sobs, "may I come in to keep warm?"

The furnishings in the house are not luxurious, and the decoration is very ordinary, but the soft plush carpet and the clean and transparent glass coffee table still make Lin Qingyang at a loss, not knowing where to put them.

There are two lovely pillows on the light brown checkered fabric sofa, a cup of hot tea on the coffee table is billowing with white smoke, and a box of freshly opened marshmallows is scattered on the tray, reflecting the constrained faces of strangers.

A teenage girl sits at the dining table and looks curiously at the guests brought in by her mother.

"I thought, you need to wash your face first?"

The serious hostess poured Lin Qingyang a glass of water, seeing Lin Qingyang's eyes slowly turning red, she was speechless for a moment, and reminded him gently.Lin Qingyang nodded, gratefully said: "I'm sorry to bother you. Then where is the bathroom?"

The girl sitting behind the dining table stood up, without saying a word, looked at him for a moment, and made some gestures that Lin Qingyang couldn't understand at all.Her serious mother smiled slightly: "She said, she will take you there."

Lin Qingyang stood in front of the clean mirror, splashed clean water on his face, washed the place he could clean, and then went out of the bathroom. After thanking the hostess, he took a sip of the warm water in the cup slowly, and took a A slight but overly mild tea aroma.

A small fireplace beside him was burning, shining a golden-orange flame, and occasionally a little spark could be seen bursting upwards.

The hostess sat opposite Lin Qingyang, and after seeing him drink the water, she looked at her daughter: "Belil, do you have to do something to entertain the guests?"

The silent girl nodded silently, stood up and walked to the kitchen, Lin Qingyang hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and got a puzzled look.

"It's great to have a fireplace and hot water for hospitality," Lin Qingyang said with a smile, "I don't need the host to spend any more money for me."

The hostess was a little puzzled: "But it's time for dinner..."

The girl turned around too, speechless and confused.

Lin Qingyang had to tell a little lie, claiming that she had eaten before coming here, and now that she was warming up, she had to go out to find a job.Only then did the master nod suspiciously and told him to come back early at night.

The hostess had already seen the fact that Lin Qingyang had nowhere to go, but she didn't tell the truth, she just said that she would prepare a dinner for him in the evening.

Lin Qingyang ran outside for a whole afternoon, ate up the little dry food left, drank a bottle of water, and couldn't find a suitable job.

Not only will he have to pay for his next living expenses, but also the rent, and save money to pay off the debt.A lot of money.

But none of the jobs are suitable, either the wages are too low, barely enough to make ends meet, or he needs to work nights, sacrificing sleep time to earn a meager wage.High-end jobs look down on him, just an adult, no work experience, no education...everything is a fatal weakness.

In a few more days, if he really can't find a suitable one, he will... have to work two or more jobs at the same time.
