After the event, Li Tian went to send his dream goddess back to the dormitory, Zhao Qiming also parted ways with Liu Shishi in front of the teaching building, on the way without leaving the surprised eyes and different thoughts of his classmates, back to the dormitory, he was still alone, lying on the bed, he had no intention of sleeping, recalling the dazedness and grief in Liu Shishi's eyes, Zhao Qiming was sure that he wanted to say goodbye to the past, since God let himself be reborn again, he couldn't go again on the road of repetition.

With a decision, Zhao Qiming was nostalgic for the past, his thoughts shifted from Liu Shishi to Wang Feng, thinking of Wang Feng's threat, his face showed a trace of ruthlessness, he has never been a person who repays grievances with virtue, not to mention that cutting off his future is like asking for his own life, even if he does it again, he will let Wang Feng taste his original pain.

While his thoughts were flowing, Zhao Qiming fell asleep unconsciously, but at this time, Liu Shishi was sleepless and nested in the quilt, holding a flashlight in her hand, and writing a letter.

The next day, Zhao Qiming got up and washed up, took the bus home, sat on the bus, looked at the dilapidated street outside the window, he was a little uneasy, in his previous life, after he was expelled from school, he went to the coast alone, and he went for five years, until his father was overworked and seriously ill in bed, but because his father was already in the terminal stage of cancer, it could not be cured, which became Zhao Qiming's eternal pain.

got out of the car, looked at the rows of scattered bungalows along a poplar forest, greeted the neighbors casually, and soon came to the door of his house, looking at the half-open door, Zhao Qiming took a deep breath and shouted, "Mom, Dad, I'm back." ”

After saying that, he pushed the door in, and at this time, a woman with black hair and a somewhat beautiful apron was serving dishes from the kitchen, and the man was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

The woman glanced at Zhao Qiming and said with a smile, "Put down the schoolbag, hurry up and wash your hands and get ready to eat." The old scene appeared in front of him, although it was extremely ordinary, Zhao Qiming was moved, and strongly suppressed his emotions, he nodded, and replied, "Okay." After saying that, he immediately went to the bedroom to put his schoolbag.

In the bathroom, Zhao Qiming could no longer suppress it and cried silently, until his mother called himself, washed his face, walked out, looked at the dishes on the table, Zhao Qiming grabbed a pig's trotter with a smile and gnawed it, and gave a thumbs up while eating, and said vaguely, "It's so delicious, it's still my mother's craftsmanship." ”

Mother put egg drop soup on the table, glanced at Zhao Qiming dotingly, and then said to his father Zhao Shuhai, "It's time to eat, and I'll look at it after eating." ”

Four dishes and one soup can be said to be very rich for an ordinary family of three, Zhao Qiming looked at his parents while eating and said, "What's wrong with my parents, I have been thinking about you since I entered the door, what happened?"

Zhao Shuhai looked at his son and stopped talking, and his mother Li Xiufen glanced at his father and said, "My son is older, sooner or later I will know, tell my son." ”

After speaking, he sighed and said, "Your dad was laid off." Zhao Qiming's head exploded after hearing this, of course he knew about his father Zhao Shuhai's layoff, but in his previous life, he knew about it a year later, and his mind turned around, thinking that his parents in his previous life hid his father's layoff when he was fired in order not to worry about them, he instantly choked up.

Hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of rice to cover up his gaffe, and after calming down, Zhao Qiming said "um" and said, "Dad, you have long complained that the factory is now smoky and miasma, and you don't do practical things, so you can just rest and rest now." ”

As a former employee of a state-owned enterprise, the pride of the sky, Zhao Shuhai lost not only an iron rice bowl, but also a status symbol, like tens of millions of laid-off workers, after being abandoned, unable to adapt to the change of their identity, the loss brought by is the most deadly, but the tide of the times will not pity anyone, whether it is the current state-owned enterprise employees, or the future 996 middle-aged employees over 35 years old.

Zhao Qiming knew the pain in his father's heart, but he couldn't do anything at this time, so he could only wait for his father to adjust his posture and try to adapt to the trend and find his position again.

Zhao Shuhai listened to his son's comfort, nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't listen to your alarmists, isn't it just laid-off, now the market economy and individual economy are popular, and I just took this opportunity to catch up with the trend, and the factory also gave a buyout fee, which is good, I still have money to get when I come down, and the more I am laid off, I may not be able to get the money." ”

Zhao Qiming listened to his father's words and said with a smile, "Dad, I believe in you, and you will definitely be able to create a second spring in your career." ”

Soon, after eating, Zhao Qiming would rest in his room, but he didn't feel sleepy when he lay on the bed, thinking of his father Zhao Shuhai at the dinner table pretending to be relaxed in order not to worry about him, he was a little distressed.

Tossing and turning, he got up and walked towards the door, just out of the yard, saw his father sitting under the big tree alone in the shade, holding the lighter that had fallen off the shell and laboriously lit a cigarette, Zhao Qiming took out a matchbox and drew a match to light the cigarette in his father's mouth.

Zhao Shuhai took a puff of cigarette, raised his head and was about to say thank you, looking at his son Zhao Qiming standing bent over in front of him, and sneered, "Stinky boy, when did you learn it." ”

Zhao Qiming took out one from the cigarette case in Zhao Shuhai's hand and lit it for himself, and said with a smile, "Senior year" Zhao Shuhai squinted his eyes and took a deep breath, and said, "Don't let your mother know." ”

Zhao Qiming nodded and said, "Hmm," and said after a pause, "Dad, I'm fine, I found a job at school, as a tutor, and I can support myself." ”

Zhao Shuhai looked at the boy in front of him with short hair and a little green, unconsciously he was already a 1.8-meter-old guy who could smoke, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were squeezed together, and he squinted and scolded with a smile, "It's ridiculous that you can't support yourself as a college student, Lao Tzu is fine, don't stay in front of me and look annoying, go to talk to a little girl, don't dangle in front of me who is half of the body in the ground." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to drive Zhao Qiming away, stood up and wiped his eyes with his hands, and a gust of wind blew.

Zhao Qiming, who was driven away, took a bus to the south of the city, followed the route in his memory to a small courtyard, smelled the bursts of medicinal fragrance wafting from the courtyard, and looked at the meat in his hand, Zhao Qiming straightened his clothes, knocked on the door and walked in.

In the courtyard, a little boy of five or six years old was holding a fan and was vigorously fanning the fire and decoction, and under the eaves behind the little boy, a middle-aged woman in her forties with a pale face leaned back on a rocking chair and squinted, coughing twice from time to time.

The little boy looked at Zhao Qiming and asked suspiciously, "Who are you looking for?" Zhao Qiming was about to speak, when a surprised voice sounded, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Qiming looked at the girl in front of him with wavy hair, a gorgeous face, and a mature dress, shook the things in his hand and said, "Come and see you." ”
