Thinking of this, Tao Jingjing's eyes showed a hint of firmness, no matter what, she must work hard, she must be stronger and stronger.

Thinking of this, Tao Jingjing's eyes lit up: "Yes, now at least I have time to work, I can at least make my mother's life less sad! So that our mother and daughter don't have to look at their faces in the future!" Tao Jingjing muttered to herself.

Crawl back to your mother and cover the quilt. Tao Jingjing's gaze regained her vigor again, she closed her eyes, hugged her mother sideways, and gradually fell into a deep sleep. Now, the originally dark small room doesn't seem to be so dark, and the original moldy wood, when asked, there is a smell of wood, as if everything is getting better.

The next day, it was dark. Tao Jingjing woke up from a deep sleep, carefully changed her clothes and shoes, folded the quilt for her mother before leaving, and walked out lightly.

The cool breeze of the early morning swept Tao Jingjing's cheeks and ruffled her hair. Tao Jingjing came to a sparsely populated park, sat down next to the cold stone table, took out a pen and paper from her backpack, and began to write seriously.

After writing more than ten pieces one by one, Tao Jingjing stopped writing. She looked at the more than ten pieces of paper, and couldn't help but show a faint smile on her face, and then carefully put away the papers, hugged them in her arms like a baby, and left the park.

Tao Jingjing walked around the street with a piece of paper, and whenever she saw a store with a job posting, she would walk in and ask.

At this moment, Tao Jingjing was standing in a hot pot restaurant, and there was an uncle in his forties and fifties standing in front of her.

Before Tao Jingjing could speak, the uncle in front of her spoke first: "Little sister, are you here to eat hot pot with your classmates?" We have several tables here today that are full of students, and I can't be sure which table you are, so I can only ask you to find it yourself, haha." ”

Listening to the uncle's words, Tao Jingjing knew that he had misunderstood, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No." Uncle shopkeeper, I came in after reading your job posting, don't you still need a waiter here? Can I try it?"

After speaking, Tao Jingjing seemed to suddenly remember something, handed a piece of treasure paper in her hand to her uncle and said, "By the way, this is my resume!"

The uncle looked at Tao Jingjing and didn't think it was a joke, sighed and said: "Little sister, you should still be studying at your age, right? Don't come out and run around, the family will be worried, be good, listen to your uncle's words, go home, the family must be in a hurry, right? At a young age, let's study hard!"

Tao Jingjing didn't know how to explain to him, so she had to walk out of the hot pot restaurant in frustration. But with Tao Jingjing's temperament, she will not give up easily. Since she was a child, the blows she has been forbidden to suffer are nothing compared to these.

Cheering up, Tao Jingjing walked into another store, Tao Jingjing expressed her intention, but was politely rejected by the owner. The shopkeeper told her that she was too young to do it, and told her to study hard.

It's not that she doesn't want to study, it's that someone doesn't want her to study, and she has no way to come out and find a job.

Just like this, Tao Jingjing walked into the store again and again, and was rejected again and again, and sometimes she was even kicked out. She spent the whole day on the streets, but she couldn't find a job.

Tao Jingjing couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, why did those shopkeepers either say that she was young or that she was a girl who was not suitable for their work?

After wandering the streets for a day, Tao Jingjing's stomach was already rumbling with hunger. She hadn't eaten all day now.

Sighing, Tao Jingjing thought, "I'd better eat first, and I'll talk about the rest later." You can't say anything and go hungry to find a job. ”

Touching her pocket, Tao Jingjing originally wanted to eat a bowl of hot fried rice. But he was shy in his pocket, and only two pitiful coins were left in his pocket.

So she went to a nearby store to buy a loaf of bread, squatted on the street and ate it in a big gulp, she was so hungry that she couldn't care about anything else at the moment, she just wanted to fill her stomach.

Squatting on the streets of the most prosperous city center and nibbling on dry bread, if she was an ordinary girl, she must have burst into tears of grievance at this moment, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain.

But I don't know why, although she didn't find a job, Tao Jingjing felt deeply satisfied and not unhappy at all. Maybe it's because she hasn't been at home all day.

There is no person who beats and scolds her when she beats and scolds, and there is no such dark and depressing family atmosphere, at this moment, Tao Jingjing only feels relaxed.

The warm wind of dusk blows through people's clothes, blowing away the heat of the day and bringing cool nights to the city.

Tao Jingjing couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy the evening breeze, but suddenly, she felt that the wind had stopped. Tao Jingjing opened her eyes suspiciously, and what caught her eye was a pair of black selling Adidas canvas shoes.

couldn't help frowning, Tao Jingjing thought to herself, "Who blocked her wind?" and then looked up at the person, but she didn't expect that she was still an acquaintance.

The man looked at Tao Jingjing condescendingly, frowned and said in disgust: "Aren't you very high? What's the matter? Now you deliberately dropped out of school to pretend to be pitiful to me, right?"

"Tao Jingjing, let me tell you, I, Xiao Xiche, am not a person who pities fragrant and cherished jade, so I advise you to put away your little ones, lest you be exposed when you get it, and you will become ugly!" Xiao Xiche said gloomily.

Tao Jingjing looked at the inexplicable person in front of her, this person suddenly appeared and blocked her wind, and even said a lot of inexplicable things to her, Tao Jingjing couldn't help but feel strange: Are those high-ranking people so self-righteous?

She ignored what Xiao Xiche said, glanced at the sketchpad Xiao Xiche was carrying behind her, and said to him, "You went out to paint?"

Who knew that Xiao Xiche also didn't want to pay attention to Tao Jingjing's words, he squatted down, looked at Tao Jingjing's face and said, "Aren't you very good at acting and pretending to be pitiful? What's the matter? Now that you have dropped out of school and run to the street to eat bread again? It seems that your life is not easy." ”

Listening to Xiao Xiche's cynicism, Tao Jingjing looked at him unchanged and said: "Actually, it's good not to go to school, there is not so much homework to do, and there is endless time every day." ”

"Don't look embarrassed right now, but I'm happy. I quite like the way I live now, no one will bully you for no reason. Walking down the street, everyone looks at you the same way. No one deliberately targets me, and I feel much easier in this kind of life than in school. Tao Jingjing said slowly.

After that, Tao Jingjing also raised a smile at Xiao Xiche, and said jokingly: "Why don't you try it too?"

Xiao Xiche listened to Tao Jingjing's words and couldn't help but say with black lines on his face: "Do you think everyone is the same as you, and if you want to study, you won't study?" Maybe you can, but I ...... You don't know ...... at all," Xiao Xiche said this, and his eyes couldn't help but dim.

He continued: "Some people's lives are arranged from the moment they are born, and there is no freedom at all. And you have to work hard to get closer to the model in their minds, and finally become a work of art for people to admire. ”

Seeing Xiao Xiche's loss, Tao Jingjing turned her head to the side. She knew what Xiao Xiche was talking about, but she couldn't even protect herself, so how could she help him?

Tao Jingjing actually knew from the beginning that Xiao Xiche was not a bad person. It's just that he is not willing to follow the route arranged for him by his family, and he doesn't want to become a puppet himself. He had been looking for an opportunity to resist, but he had never found this opportunity. And his own appearance happened to find a breakthrough for this. So Xiao Xiche will target her, which is actually expected. What teenager wants his life to be manipulated?

So Tao Jingjing never cared about Xiao Xiche's sarcastic or abusive language, she always just regarded it as the wind in her ears and blew it. I've never really been mad at him.

She looked up at everything around her, the evening wind was still warm, the pedestrians were hurrying, and the ground was littered with fallen leaves that had not yet arrived and had been swept away, and the depressed teenager beside her.

Looking at Xiao Xiche's gloomy face, Tao Jingjing couldn't help but say, "Eh, Xiao Xiche, this sketch you painted is really beautiful! Can you show me?" I don't know when, Tao Jingjing walked around behind Xiao Xiche and deliberately changed the topic to make him happy.

Who knew that Xiao Xiche turned around, took down the painting on the drawing board, rolled it up, held it in his hand, and then turned his head to Tao Jingjing and said, "No!

Seeing Xiao Xiche's big reaction, Tao Jingjing couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Hey, Xiao Xiche! Don't I just want to see your paintings? As for the reaction? It's not something that can't be seen, what's not to see?"

Listening to Tao Jingjing's words, Xiao Xiche did not waver at all: "Tao Jingjing, who do you think you are, let me tell you, stay away from me and my paintings, otherwise, you know what the consequences are!"

Tao Jingjing's eyebrows were raised lightly, and she didn't take Xiao Xiche's words to heart, but said more eagerly.
