The figure approached, and by the light of the phone, I could vaguely argue that it was a man.

The man is not tall, so he is of average height, but his body looks relatively thin.

Getting closer, the light of the mobile phone fell on the man's face, and the facial features that were getting clearer and clearer were the old classmate Luo Bing I was looking for!

"Luo Bing, you haven't gone home yet, I thought you were back, so I was about to knock on your door. ”

When Luo Bing saw me, he was stunned at first, and then a deep surprise appeared on his face, and he walked up to me suspiciously.

"Didn't you say that you would contact us on WeChat, and we will meet again next time? Why did you still find the door, how did you know that my home is here?" ”

An unnatural look flashed across Luo Bing's face, and his gaze fell on the dilapidated house behind me.

I suddenly understood that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and now I am dressed decently, but he is wearing dirty and smelly overalls.

And his house does look very shabby, and as an old classmate and a sensitive man, he must have thought in his heart that I came to see his jokes.

Or rather, this kind of gap between old classmates made him feel that his dignity and face had been greatly hit.

In addition, Qin Zhenzhen was still standing next to me in a noble manner, he must have thought that I had made a fortune and was a big boss, and I came here just to pity him or show his superiority.

I try to make myself smile as calmly and sincerely as possible.

"Luo Bing, I'm not here to have dinner with you, I'm here to catch up with you and discuss things. ”

He was hesitating, and it seemed that my concerns were not unnecessary.

Immediately afterward, I added: "Don't worry, I'm not here to find any sense of superiority, do you remember when we were in a dormitory, my living expenses were stolen, and you gave me some of your living expenses?"

Luo Bing nodded stunned, he didn't know what I was going to express.

I continued: "I am a person who knows how to repay my kindness, and if you helped me in the first place, I will definitely help you. ”

"Although I owed a lot of debts in the past few years, my life was far worse than yours, and in the end, my wife and children ran away with others. ”

"I don't have much accomplishment right now, but I have the power to help you. ”

"Luo Bing, I opened a small company, now is the critical period of development, I am very short of competent and trustworthy people, I trust you, can you help me?"

I sincerely invited, but Luo Bing frowned, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at me.

"Thank you for your kindness, I now have my own job, I am very satisfied with my living situation, I don't like too ups and downs in life. ”

I was unexpectedly surprised by Luo Bing's answer.

It was also unexpected to reject me so simply.

Before the change, he would have hesitated again and again, as long as I blew more and told him to go to work the next day with a tougher attitude, he would slowly comply.

But now, after so many years of not seeing him, he has finally learned to refuse.

For what you don't want to do, decisively refuse.

I sighed regretfully: "Okay, you don't want to accept my help, and I don't force you, but I hope you still think more about your family, after all, children still want to have a comfortable home." ”

I know that Luo Bing's rejection of me is just a matter of self-esteem.

is also a college student who came out of the starting point, why is he so unsatisfactory, but I can live a chic life and open a company to make a lot of money.

The scales in his mind have been seriously unbalanced.

Suddenly, there was a sharp "creaking" sound from the door of his house, and the door was slowly opened.

A young white boy of five or six years old ran out of it.

"Daddy!" a crisp and clean children's voice seemed unusually clear in this dark and silent environment.

Luo Bing wanted to pick up the little boy, but suddenly stopped moving, he looked at his dirty overalls, rubbed it on the little boy's head and said:

"Daddy is dirty, so I won't hug you. ”

Immediately behind the little boy came a woman dressed as a village woman.

The hair is a little unkempt, and the clothes on the body are very old, vaguely, as if they are patched.

Her appearance is ordinary, her figure has been out of shape, she stepped on a pair of torn wool slippers, and looked at me and Qin Zhenzhen with a simple face.

When her eyes fell on Qin Zhenzhen, she revealed a woman's instinctive envy and jealousy.

However, everyone has their own destiny, and there are many unfair things in this world.

After a moment, she withdrew her gaze and looked at Luo Bing.

"Ah Bing, there are guests, please come into the house and sit down, drink some hot water, it's cold outside." ”

Luo Bing's face was full of embarrassment, his expression revealed that he didn't want me to go in, but his wife warmly invited, and even grabbed Qin Zhenzhen's arm and brought it to the house.

In the end, Luo Bing smiled unnaturally and said, "Come into the house and talk." ”

In the house, it is the appearance of the four walls of the house, the area is not large and the furnishings are a little messy, and the living expenses are standard in the village.

Qin Zhenzhen and I sat on a long wooden bench, and boiling water had already been poured on the table.

It seems that the hostess is ready to invite us to the house for a sitting.

Luo Bing sat across from us, his wife and children standing aside.

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward, I took a sip of boiling water and said, "Luo Bing, don't you introduce us to each other?"

Hearing this, Luo Bing looked at his wife and children standing aside.

"This is my wife, Dong Xiaohua, that's my child, Luo Tianhang. ”

"Xiaohua, this is my college roommate, named Jiang Wenshan, next to her wife, called ......"

"My name is Qin Zhenzhen, and I'm not his wife now, but maybe one day in the future. Qin Zhenzhen immediately introduced herself and proudly added the second half of the sentence.

Obediently, if Lu Yinyin knows about this, won't she pick my skin?

I immediately explained: "No, don't get me wrong, Qin Zhenzhen and I are ordinary friends, and she is also one of the partners of the company, and there is no boyfriend and girlfriend relationship between us." ”

Dong Xiaohua immediately showed an unusual smile, and then said:

"I understand, looking at the appearance, Sister Zhen is also in her early twenties, Brother Wenshan, you are really blessed, you have such a young and beautiful friend. ”

It's over, I can't wash it up when I jump into the Yellow River, and for the sake of today's plan, I can only not explain too much, otherwise the more I describe, the darker it will be, and it will be difficult to explain it clearly.

I laughed and changed the subject: "It's really not that kind of relationship, Luo Bing, what I said to you outside, you think about it, it's late, you should rest early." ”

I got up and was about to leave, but Dong Xiaohua stepped forward to stay.

"Wait a minute, Brother Wenshan, I heard what you just said outside. ”

"I agree with Ah Bing to go to your company, Ah Bing is the Tai Axis, and he won't please people, you don't know, in the auto repair shop, he is often ostracized by others, and he is always deducted from his salary by the boss. ”

As she spoke, Dong Xiaohua shed sad tears.

"Originally, there was not much money a month, and there was no surplus to spend on supporting the family, and we were often deducted from our salary, and our family would be short of food every once in a while, and the child was growing up, and he had not eaten meat for several months. ”

"Brother Wenshan, you have this heart, we are already very moved, if you really like Ah Bing, I will agree with him to follow you. ”

"At least, he's better than in that garage. ”

"If you look at our family, you will know how much suffering Ah Bing has suffered over the years, and how much suffering the child has suffered. ”

"Ah Bing just has a hard mouth, he can't let go of that bit of self-esteem, and he is afraid that his stupid mouth will cause trouble for you, so he rejected you. ”

"You must not take it to heart, and don't think that Ah Bing does not know what to do, he is just afraid of causing trouble for you. ”

"Xiaohua, don't say it, shame!" Luo Bing stopped his wife's crying.

But I believe that Dong Xiaohua has been holding these words in her heart for a long time, and today she found an opportunity to say it, so she simply spit it out.

I tried not to show any pity in my eyes, so as not to touch Bing's fragile self-esteem.

I said calmly: "Luo Bing, I treat you as a friend, and I sincerely came to ask you to help me, otherwise, how could I come overnight?"

"I'm not that kind of person, and if I were, I wouldn't have come into the house and drink this cup of hot water. ”

"Luo Bing, for the sake of your wife and children, you have to poke your head out and fight with me. ”

"A man should be brave in the world, not settle for a corner, but he is not angry in his heart, why can't he let his wife and children live better!"

My words exploded like cannonballs falling on Luo Bing's heart.

He suddenly looked up at me and said a word.
