"Juanzi, I've bought you breakfast. "In the morning, Zheng Xinguang got up early and came up with steamed buns and soy milk to wake me up.

I had finished washing up at this time, and I was sitting on the bed in a daze, watching Zheng Xinguang put down the morning and was about to leave, I hurriedly said, "Xinguang, I'll go with you." ”

Zheng Xinguang paused, glanced at me carefully, then picked up the breakfast and handed it to me, and said, "Let's go, eat while walking." ”

Due to previous misunderstandings, both of us are careful to maintain this precarious relationship at this time.

During the three days I ran away from home, I accompanied Zheng Xinguang everywhere to find a job, but I ran into walls everywhere.

At first, Zheng Xinguang learned the lesson of the last time and decided to find a job with a high salary.

He said to me, "So that our quality of life can be better and ......."

Zheng Xinguang seemed to think of something, but didn't say anything more.

I know his unfinished words, and I know his worries: so that I will not choose to go back again because I "can't live a comfortable life".

I couldn't say these words, so I said to Zheng Xinguang: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

We first went to a private gas station, thinking that it should be easier to apply for this, but the owner of the gas station frowned when he heard Zheng Xinguang's age.

"We do not employ child labor. ”

Zheng Xinguang had behaved very well, but he was stopped by his age, and he wanted to say something more, but the owner of the gas station waved his sleeves and walked away.

"Wait a minute, please. Zheng Xinguang followed and wanted to fight again.

The owner of the gas station stood still and said impatiently: "Hurry up, what kind of work do you come to work without going to school at a young age!"

Zheng Xinguang's face changed suddenly, and then there was more anger on his face, as if he wanted to argue with the boss, I hurriedly grabbed his arm and whispered, "Xinguang, let's go to the next one." ”

But then we still ran into walls everywhere, we went to restaurants, KTV, video game cities, and various places, and we had a good chat about applying for jobs, but as soon as they heard that Zheng Xinguang was a minor, they immediately avoided it.

Zheng Xinguang was still a little angry at first, but as the number of rejections increased, he gradually lost his temper.

After being swept out of the house again and again, he and I stood at each other's eyes, and we were a little anxious for a while.

After a while, I proposed, "Or...... Shall we go to the car wash?"

Although car washing doesn't make much money, in the current situation, it is already a good job.

Zheng Xinguang no longer insisted at this time, and nodded in agreement.

But as soon as he arrived at the car wash, as soon as the boss saw Zheng Xinguang, he widened his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "Boy, now we don't recruit workers, you can go." ”

Zheng Xinguang and I are a little puzzled, during the previous summer vacation, Zheng Xinguang was still working in the car wash room for a while, and it was okay at that time, why not now?

At this time, Zheng Xinguang's former colleague next to him saw Zheng Xinguang, sighed, and walked over and said, "The investigation has been strict recently, so you better go." ”

In the evening, the two of us sat on the steps on the side of the road, both of us losing our tempers.

It's been three days, and we've been looking for a job for three days, but none of them are willing to recruit Zheng Xinguang.

Is there really no way to be self-reliant?

Zheng Xinguang has been smoking, smoking very fiercely, and the butt of the cigarette is thrown on the ground several times.

The thick smoke hit, and I was choked and coughed violently: "Ahem, cough, cough, ......"

At this time, after Zheng Xinguang saw it, he pressed out the smoke.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, through which I couldn't make out his expression, but he must have been greatly frustrated.

He asked lightly, "Am I useless?"

I knew that I couldn't find a job for several days in a row, which must have greatly dampened his self-confidence, so I hurriedly stretched out my arm to hug him and said, "No, we have done our best." It's the wrong timing. ”

Zheng Xinguang lowered his head and did not speak.

I comforted him again and said, "It's okay, it's only three days, we can look for a few more days." ”

I hugged Zheng Xinguang for a long time, and I said a lot of words in my mouth, and finally Zheng Xinguang finally responded, he patted my arm and said, "Go home." ”

By the time we got back, it was already early in the morning.

At night in the small county town, not many people came out to do activities, and everyone had already slept peacefully.

We arrived at the hotel, washed up for a while, and then lay down in bed and fell asleep.

It didn't take long for me to suddenly wake up with a movement and realize that it was Zheng Xinguang who got up, and he seemed to call tentatively: "Juanzi?"

My heart moved slightly, and I still closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Zheng Xinguang thought I was asleep and began to whisper.

"Juanzi, we haven't found a job for so many days, I really don't want you to suffer with me. When I left, I thought that with my own abilities, I would be able to lead you to a good life. But now I realize that I was naïve, and in the current situation, I can't even satisfy you with enough food and clothing, let alone let you live a good life......"

I quietly listened to Zheng Xinguang's hidden words during the day, and a warm current passed through my heart, which also brought a throbbing pain.

Zheng Xinguang is under much more pressure than I have seen.

He whispered for a while, and finally, as I became unconscious, I heard him ask a question: "Am I doing something wrong?"

The next day, when I opened my eyes, there was no longer Zheng Xinguang on the bed next to me.

I immediately recalled the words that Zheng Xinguang said yesterday in my mind, and I suddenly felt very uneasy.

At this time, I saw a note and some money on the table, and hurriedly jumped out of bed and grabbed it.

I saw that it said: "Juanzi, I'm going to look for a job first, you wake up and remember to buy breakfast to eat." ”

In a few sentences, he did not say where he was going.

Thinking of what he said yesterday, I was very disturbed, and I wanted to go to him nowhere to find him, so I could only wait.

In this way, from day to night, there is still no news of Zheng Xinguang.

There were a few times during this period when I couldn't help but want to go to him, and I was afraid that he would happen to come back and not see me in a hurry, so I sat in the hotel and spent it.

At that time, I still didn't have a mobile phone, so the two of us were separated for a while, and we didn't even have a contact information.

In the end, I couldn't wait any longer, so I went to Fang Zhiwen's hospital to find Fang Zhiwen without permission, wanting to ask him about Zheng Xinguang's whereabouts.

But looking for it in a directionless way is really not a way, Fang Zhiwen is not in the hospital, and I still haven't gotten any useful information about Zheng Xinguang.

He was walking back to the hotel in despair, when someone suddenly shouted, "Li Juan!"

I looked up and saw that it was Chen Nianmo riding a motorcycle.
