Chapter Seventy-Eight: Growing Up Pushed by Life
Chen Wenjin picked up the newspaper and read the news carefully, and mentioned at the end that this was the second grand prize winner to be killed by a beggar with a mental disorder recently.
Whether it's a coincidence or not, Chen Wenjin doesn't know, but he doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and first lists aliens who use beggars as a means of observation as hostile.
I couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he didn't win the jackpot, otherwise he would have been targeted.
"I don't know if there is anything to deal with those aliens, but the last time I saw the female alien killed, it was incredible, out of thin air a thing to kill people, I can't even see what the situation is, if I am exposed, I am afraid it will be a dead end!" Chen Wenjin also doesn't know if his situation is guilty, and he doesn't know if aliens have intervened in the past human society, and how deep the involvement is.
But fortunately, he is not interested in doing anything great, and if he has the intention to avoid the observation methods of aliens, it is not easy to be discovered.
It's just that,Chen Wenjin is even more afraid to run into the lottery site,Every time you win many fourth prizes and third prizes,That can't be said to be uneye-catching。 I decided to wait for the summer vacation to go to the capital market to pile up some funds.
For three days in a row, the butterflies called him over, but Chen Wenjin didn't want to go on non-holidays, and it was too out of line to go if he didn't return at night on non-holidays, which would affect his next plan, and give his parents the impression that he was having too much fun and wanted to suspend his studies, in that case, Lord Chen would not support him.
By Friday, the butterfly was at peace, and she had to go home, and she couldn't have run out for a week without seeing her parents. Butterfly's father has a lot of lace things outside, but he has always been very good to her, Butterfly's mother accepted her fate in the early years, as long as Butterfly's father is not emotionally related to women outside, he just doesn't know, and he doesn't take the initiative to understand or explore the truth, Butterfly's father is ashamed, plus Butterfly often says: "Dad, do you say that people should be better to their family than to other people?"
Butterfly's father often follows Butterfly's mother, and there are few quarrels in the house, not to talk about the women outside, and her daily life at home is very warm. On Fridays, Butterfly's mother will buy some healthy, butterfly-favorite ingredients to make her favorite dishes, and Butterfly's father will buy a lot of unhealthy snacks, and at the cost of being blamed by Butterfly's mother, she will make Butterfly eat happily on the weekend, and the food she can't eat is enough to take back to school on Sunday.
On Saturdays, there are usually plans and arrangements, or a few families to go on a short vacation, or plan where to play, see, anyway, there is rarely idle at home, even if Butterfly's father is busy with business, Butterfly and her mother will go out shopping, or relatives and friends visit each other's homes.
"Da Xiong invited us to his house for dinner in the evening, will you go?" Chen Wenjin knew that the butterfly wanted to go, so he called to ask.
“…… Why not a Sunday night?"
"Xiao Gao and Momoko both have to study hard and sprint hard, can they just skip school and study at night like you?" Chen Wenjin's rhetorical question was reasonable, and the butterfly on the other end of the phone wailed exaggeratedly: "I hate you-"
"That's not coming? Okay, let's hang up first. ”
"Wait a minute—don't say anything about it tomorrow, I'll go to school after lunch. Butterfly said, lowering her voice: "See you directly in the house, this time, I deliberately endured it for a few days, it must be different." ”
"I believe...... Okay, hang up. Chen Wenjin put down his phone and muttered softly: "I believe it...... It's weird. ”
Chen Wenjin took a shower and changed clothes and went out, but Chen's mother was not at home, so he saved some questions.
Big Bear invited to dinner at his house to celebrate Momoko moving into his house.
didn't call too many people, so Chen asked Jin and Lin, there were butterflies, but she couldn't come.
Originally, there should still be Ah Bao and Megumi, but because of Peaches, it is clear that these two are not suitable.
When Chen Wenjin drove there, he happened to meet Lin taking a taxi into the community, so the two of them went upstairs together.
Xiao Gao opened the door, Da Xiong helped in the kitchen, Peaches cooked, and the two of them were busy with their eyebrows, a beautiful picture of Lang and concubine.
Xiao Gao took water and snacks, and when he sat down, he said, "I originally wanted to be called Megumi, but she had already said that she wouldn't come out to play this semester, and she would review at home on weekends, so forget it." It's a pity that the butterfly didn't come, and both Big Bear and Peach have to thank her. ”
"Hey, it's a pity that the butterfly didn't come, I can be with Peaches, you three are benefactors, I'll have to invite you again another day, or tomorrow night, have a barbecue." Big Bear came out of the kitchen with the appearance of a happy little man.
"I'm not going, the key is butterflies. Lin doesn't have the habit of skipping class, and besides, she is here today, so she can be there tomorrow or not.
"Ah, then it would be another day, but it wouldn't work on any day, and the butterfly said it wouldn't work on Friday or Saturday. The big bear was a little worried, and Lin smiled when he saw his serious appearance and said, "The key is to make up for the butterflies, and she can go tomorrow night." ”
"But you're also a benefactor, what kind of gratitude is a meal? No amount of food is enough to express gratitude!"
"Then rest assured. Lin saw that the big bear was still pondering the time, and said in a different way: "You can find time again when you get together, and make up for the butterflies tomorrow night, otherwise I will always eat more, isn't it a little favoritism to her?"
"It seems to be, oh, I don't know if butterflies will think so?" Da Xiong accepted it, and said: "Okay, tomorrow night Lin and Xiao Gao will not delay the evening self-study, and Peaches and I, Gold and Butterfly will eat barbecue together." ”
"Momoko hasn't skipped class either, has she?" Kodaka remembered no.
"It's different, and of course she's got to be there thanks to butterflies. After Da Xiong finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said, "Lin, in fact, there is something I want to ask you for help with, can you persuade Peaches at school?" She suddenly said that she wanted to find a job next semester, I think she was afraid that I would be too tired to earn money alone, but that would be not good, right?"
"I'll go back and talk to her. Lin agreed.
Chen Wenjin was eating potato chips very comfortably, and then he couldn't help but ask with concern: "How do you communicate with Peach's parents?
"Don't mention it—it's really selling your daughter!" Xiao Gao's tone was very angry, and he was afraid that Peaches heard it, so he lowered his voice a little and said: "At the beginning, Peaches' parents asked for 30,000 yuan, 30,000 a year!"
Although Chen Wen was mentally prepared this morning, he was also a little surprised.
"You don't know, I'm angry not because her parents opened their mouths, but because of their attitude, and before we finished speaking, Peach's father interrupted and said, 'Don't talk so much nonsense, don't you just want to keep peaches?' That's fine, 30,000 a year!', there is such a father?" Xiao Gao looked incredulous, took a sip of beer, and said: "I thought in my heart: 'If I can afford that price, I won't talk about it, and immediately take Peaches with Big Bear, the farther away from that kind of father, the better!'" But I couldn't help it, I couldn't afford it, so I had to endure my emotions and continue to communicate. ”
Big Bear drank wine and touched his nose, and when he talked about it, he couldn't defend Momoko's parents.
"What did Peach's mother say?" Chen Wenjin thought that having that kind of father Peaches was unlucky enough, and that mother should always be better.
Peaches' mother repeatedly said that they were under a lot of pressure and couldn't keep busy without peaches at home, and then bargained, and there was no reluctance to move Peaches. Later, it was decided, and Momoko moved out, but gave them a thousand yuan a month, and from this day on, it was regarded as a loss of labor for Momoko to work outside. Xiao Gao said, and said: "After the negotiation was settled, Peach's parents were enthusiastic and happy, and they took the initiative to go out to buy wine, as if they were happy to have fewer people in the family." ”
"They're asking a little too much. Lin felt that this was obviously unreasonable, Chen Wenjin thought that the pressure on the big bear was really great, one person raised Xiao Gao and Peaches, and one was equivalent to raising one more person, plus the big bear himself, one raised four, and said: "It's really unreasonable, Peach didn't have any income before graduation, even if she worked, even if she found a thousand wages, she also had personal expenses such as tolls and meals, and it was impossible for her to contribute all her monthly income to her parents." ”
"Their reason is that there is no one to help at home, even if Momoko is working, find a closer job, and can go home at noon and night to cook and help with household chores, and she can't help when she moves out. I wanted to talk about it at the time, but Da Xiong was annoyed and directly agreed to a thousand yuan, which was also annoying. Xiao Gao was also worried that Da Xiong was under too much pressure, and he knew that Momoko also blamed himself for this, so he suddenly changed his mind and didn't want to continue studying.
"Originally, it was like buying and selling peaches, pulling back and forth, I was afraid that peaches would be uncomfortable, and I gritted my teeth for a thousand yuan and ran more, but it was a little difficult to go to school during the day in recent months. Big Bear smoked a cigarette, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and said worriedly, "Even Peaches can't help but read." ”
Chen Wenjin remembered what he promised Lin, and originally wanted to find an opportunity, but then he half-jokingly said: "You really have true love for Peaches! I don't think you're worried at all, it's true love!"
"It's not for nothing. Big Bear silently snorted and lowered his voice. "Peaches are so beautiful, there will definitely be a lot of powerful, rich and handsome people chasing her when she works in the future, where can I compare with those people? But I think, if Momoko really wants to choose a better life at that time, I can't drag her here, right?
"What do you mean? Megumi and I are friends. Xiao Gao avoided Lin Zai and refused to admit his true intentions to Hui.
"What are you afraid of admitting? Who do you think doesn't know?" Big Bear didn't care, Peaches is a family, Peaches and Lin are so close, then Lin is destined to be close to someone, there is nothing to hide.
"Come, for true love, drink!" Chen Wenjin held a beer, Lin didn't drink, so he replaced the wine with tea.
Da Xiong was mentally prepared to face the worst-case scenario, and he and Lin would be relieved.
It's just that, in fact, none of them want that to happen.
However, what is going to happen in the future is not guaranteed.
Then there is no need to be obsessed with the certainty that the future must be a possibility.
Therefore, cherishing the present, only by cherishing it, can we get closer to a good future.
Peaches shouted in the kitchen, and Big Bear went in and brought out the dishes, a plate of dishes, not only beautiful, but also delicious.
Chen Wenjin only then knew that Peaches used to like to cook, she said that cooking is the quietest, only at that time her parents will not suddenly call her to do this, do that, no one into the kitchen to disturb her, only the kitchen makes her feel that it is a person's free space, so she feels very happy every time she cooks, and she is very willing to seriously think about how to make it delicious and beautiful.
