This scene had a great impact on Zhang Yunqi.

After getting along day and night for more than half a year, from the usual clothes and behaviors of Chu Shi, he can naturally see that Chu Ji's background is not good, and the situation at home should be worse.

It was normal for children from poor families to work part-time while going to school, but in those days, it was rare for a first-year high school student to do this kind of work at such a young age.

Zhang Yunqi looked at it for a while and didn't walk over.

He rode a bicycle and walked about a hundred meters, found a small restaurant diagonally opposite, let the boss serve two dishes, and drank slowly while eating, the wine was seven cents a bottle of old Yanjing, dark green, holding in his hand has a heavy feeling, not very easy to eat, bitter and astringent.

When he didn't know how to drink before, he always wondered why so many people liked to drink such a bitter thing, and later, he saw such a line in the movie "Wounded City" starring Tony Leung: The good taste of wine lies in the fact that it is difficult to drink.

Well said!

The small restaurant opposite is also gradually coming in with customers.

Zhang Yunqi saw from a distance that after washing the dishes for the first time, he began to serve tea and water to the guests in the small restaurant, and deliver food and rice.

Waves of customers came, reaching the peak at seven o'clock, and the restaurant was full, all of them were ordinary workers doing rough work in the nearby machinery factory.

The number of customers who ate slowly decreased.

Near nine o'clock, the last guest was sent off.

The work at first sight was not over, so she wiped the table, mopped the floor, and squatted in front of the restaurant to wash the dishes, while the sturdy proprietress sat in front of a black-and-white TV with her legs crossed, watching "I Love My Family" while munching melon seeds, and raised her head from time to time to let out bursts of rude laughter.

"Boom!"

The sound of a plate shattering suddenly sounded.

The rude laughter stopped abruptly, and then the boss lady's scolding sounded: "Why are you so stupid, you can't wash the dishes!"

Zhang Yunqi saw Chu Jian in a panic while cleaning up the fragments of the vegetable plate, and at the same time bent down and said something to the.

I don't know how to solve this matter later, the distance is a little far, Zhang Yunqi can't look and listen carefully, he just heard the proprietress has been chattering and swearing, until after ten o'clock in the middle of the night, he saw Chu Jian put on the school uniform again, left the restaurant, under the light of the warm street lamp, the white and clear face was full of tiredness.

Zhang Yunqi settled the account, got on the bicycle and followed the first meeting unhurriedly.

After walking for about five minutes, he suddenly saw Hatsumi stop and crouch on the side of the road, covering his face with his hands.

The cold street, the cold wind, the starlight sprinkled on her slightly trembling shoulders, perhaps only in the dead of night, this girl who is incomparably excellent in the eyes of teachers and classmates will not be able to control it, and release everything she has endured in her heart.

Zhang Yunqi silently looked at her slender figure, looking at the blood stains that had congealed between her fingers.

After about a minute or two, Hatsumi stood up and continued walking in the direction of home.

Zhang Yunqi rode away on his bicycle.

He didn't follow the first sight, but turned to another fork in the road.

Finding a pharmacy on the side of the road, he bought a pack of band-aids and rode his bike all the way to another three-way intersection to wait.

After waiting for a few minutes, he saw the figure of Hatsumi slowly walking over from a distance, and he rushed over quickly on his bicycle, just opposite Hatsumi.

He screamed in surprise before braking the bike.

Chu Jian was stunned for a moment, turned his head, saw Zhang Yunqi, and said in surprise: "Yunqi, why are you here?"

Zhang Yunqi pushed his bicycle to Chujian's side, and said with a smile: "I went to my sister's house for dinner, I just came back, I happened to pass by here, Chujian, it's so late, why haven't you come home yet?"

At first sight, I seemed a little flustered, and whispered that I had something to do.

Zhang Yun nodded and said, "Then the matter is over, I'll send you back?"

Chu Jian hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, my house is not far from here, just walk back by yourself, Yunqi, it's so late, you go home quickly, you have to get up early to go to school tomorrow." ”

Zhang Yunqi said with a smile: "It's okay, the place where I live is not far from here, I will be there in a while, first meeting, get in the car, it's not safe for you to go home as a girl in the middle of the night." ”

Hatsumi pursed his lips and said, "Okay then." ”

Chujian's home is in the shantytown of Hongshan Road in Beicheng, Zhang Yunqi has been there twice, and he is familiar with the road, so he drove Chujian through the streets and alleys.

It was already deep in the night.

The weather is dry and cold, and the cold wind is like a knife.

The shops on both sides of the street are closed, there are few pedestrians and vehicles, and the windows of the rows of houses are lit up, which is the scene of the legendary lights of thousands of homes.

Along the way, Zhang Yunqi has been chatting with Chujian.

Talking about some interesting things in the class, Wang Xiaokai, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Yang Wei, the three little silly hats, often do some silly things that make people laugh, such as Wang Xiaokai once went to the toilet, he saw the back of a person next to him, thinking it was a classmate, so he reached out and patted the person's buttocks.

The man looked back.

At first glance, it was the head teacher Jiang Lihua......

Zhang Yunqi told these things for the first time.

The atmosphere is very good, and I have been smiling very rarely at first sight.

It's just that when she was about to reach Hongshan Road, she suddenly shouted Yunqi.

Zhang Yunqi turned his head and said, "What's wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Hatsumi said, "You, did you see me working in a restaurant?"

Zhang Yunqi was stunned.

This girl is really Bingxue and smart, and she can't fool her at all.

It's just that most of the time, a lot of things are hidden in her heart.

Zhang Yunqi nodded: "I saw it, I hope you don't be surprised, in fact, I have been following you since school this afternoon, the reason for this is that I feel that you seem to have something on your mind recently, and you are absent-minded and tired a lot of times, but you don't want to tell me that as a friend, I am quite worried about you." ”

When I saw the first sight, the hand that grabbed Zhang Yunqi's ribs suddenly clenched.

After a long silence, she said, "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”

Zhang Yunqi said: "I'm fine, it's mainly you." ”

Chujian pursed his lips and said: "I'll tell you now, Yunqi, in fact, the three hundred yuan I borrowed from you last time was to pay the tuition, my family is relatively poor, I can't pay the tuition, the reason why I don't tell you is that I don't want you to worry, in fact, after the winter vacation last year, I have been looking for a winter vacation job, but I am young, many shops don't want me, and then I found this small restaurant, there are more things, but it is not very tiring to do, and I want to return the money to you as soon as possible." ”

When she said this, she gently rested her head on Zhang Yunqi's shoulder, looked at the starry sky, smiled, and said with a small face: "Actually, it's really nothing, don't you think about it too much?" Yunqi, as you said, life has a lot of misfortunes, but there is no need to blindly enlarge and indulge in it, after all, survival is one thing, life is a poem. The conditions in my family are not good, so I should naturally work harder than others. ”

Zhang Yunqi was touched by this girl.

He tried to make himself smile and said, "Are you stupid or not, the 300 yuan doesn't matter." ”

Hatsumi pursed his lips and said, "For me, it's very important. ”
