"Xiao Yi and Long Ru" 1

On a midsummer night, Long Ru sat in his small tailor's shop, helping his mother sew clothes for others.

She is just a junior this year, studying fashion design, and during the summer vacation, she was in her mother's tailor's shop, helping people sew and mend to supplement the family.

The sunlight outside the window dimmed a little, Long Ru got up, opened the blue floral cloth curtain slightly, hung a soft ruler around his neck, and when he turned around, he saw his mother sweating all over her head, holding a heavy iron iron to help the guests iron their clothes.

Unable to help it, Long Ru opened his mouth and said:

"Mom, there's a promotion online this month, let's buy a lighter iron. ”

Now the iron in her mother's hand is all from the nineties, and it has long been outdated, and it is bulky and dangerous to carry clothes for people, and if you are not careful, you will burn this iron.

When Long Ru said this, three men walked in at the door, a gluttonous old man, a young man, and a middle-aged man, and she didn't pay attention to it.

Her mother, Xia Guizhi, turned around, raised her hand, took a towel from the shelf, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said to Long Ru:

"Where do we have money, your aunt said a few days ago that she was going to speculate in stocks, and your father lent all our family's money to your aunt. ”

"What?" Long Ru was a little shocked, "Auntie asked our family to borrow money again?"

As she spoke, Long Ru was about to scold, but her mother was busy greeting the three guests who came in, and Long Ru was suddenly full of anger, and she didn't know how to speak.

So he could only throw the soft ruler around his neck on the table, and went upstairs upstairs in a frustrated mood.

So far, their family is still renting a house outside, the façade is rented, and the family of three lives on the second floor of the tailor's shop, the first floor is used for business, and the second floor is for accommodation.

For the current era, people may think more about buying big brand clothes in big shopping malls, and few people will make a special trip to buy cloth and go to a tailor shop to sew a set of clothes by hand.

At Long Ru's house, what is done more is to cut the hem of the trousers, nail a button, or iron the clothes for people, etc., and there is still very little work to sew clothes.

In particular, there are even fewer orders that can receive Long Ru's free creation and let her play.

In the past few years, Long Ru's family has not saved money, but every time Long Ru's family wants to save some money to buy a house to live in, it will be borrowed by Long Yun.

Long Yun is Long Ru's aunt, a person born with broken fortune, and a nemesis of Long Ru's family.

In the attic on the second floor, Long Ru took out his sketchbook and paintbrush in frustration, sat on the windowsill, blew the hot wind outside the window, and began to scribble the design draft in his hand.

She is about to be a senior, and when she enters her senior year, she will start working on her graduation project, but Long Ru has no idea what her graduation project is.

The trivialities of life are about to wipe out all her creative passions, especially her aunt Long Yun, thinking of this person, Long Ru is crazy to scribble several big forks on his painting book.

If you want to talk about the money in Long Ru's family, how can it be borrowed by Long Yun all the time?

It's all because Long Ru has a father Long Feng who has special soft ears in his family.

Over the years, as long as Long Yun ran to his brother's side and cried, Long Feng felt sorry for his sister, and he couldn't wait to take out all the money from his family and support his sister to start a business.

From the beginning, when Long Ru was not born, what kind of dressing room did Long Yun open, to all kinds of strange businesses later, and then to the current stock speculation, which one did not have the financial support of Long Ru's family?

So from the time Long Ru remembered, she knew that her parents would always quarrel over Long Yun's aunt, and Long Feng would always lend Long Yun the money that Xia Guizhi had saved hard, but Long Yun always lost money and never repaid the money. sweet potato

This year, Long Rudu is 20 years old, but his family is destitute, although Xia Guizhi has worked hard all his life, he still lives like this, reluctant to blow air conditioning in summer, and reluctant to bake charcoal in winter.

The hot wind outside the window blew Long Ru's hair wet, and her hand that was scribbling the forks shook off, and the pen in her hand fell and fell on the heads of the guests downstairs who were about to go out.

Long Ru was startled, lowered his head, and looked over.

The guest was agile, as soon as he grasped the hidden weapon that was coming at his head, and when he looked up, he looked at Long Ru on his head, stunned, and then smiled heartily and gently.

The guest was a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen, tall and athletic, dressed in black trousers and a black short-sleeved T-shirt.

The inch of haircut made the man look particularly energetic, and when he smiled, a black snake-shaped tattoo on his neck loomed in the collar, but the smile on his face swept away the cruelty hidden on his face.

Long Ru's face was a little red, he nodded to the man downstairs, turned around, and Tata Tata went downstairs to get his pen.

Passing by the sewing machine full of pants, Long Ru saw his mother Xia Guizhi wiping her tears, so she asked:

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Guizhi had red eyes, turned half of his body, avoided Long Ru's gaze, and cried.

At this moment, Long Ru's heart became even more irritable, she hurriedly walked to Xia Guizhi's side and asked:

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? You say, if you don't say, how can we solve it?"

Xia Guizhi was beautiful, with an apron hanging from her slender body, she turned her head crying, looked at Long Ru, and choked up in the gradually dimming light:

"Your aunt not only asked your father to borrow money to speculate in stocks, but also borrowed money from others, your father became a guarantor, and now the stock is lost, your aunt ran away, and the other party came to the door and asked us to pay back!"

"What ???"

Long Ru was shocked, she turned her head and looked at the man who was still standing outside the door, the man was holding her paintbrush in his hand, as if waiting for her to go out and get her brush back.

So Long Ru asked:

"Just this person?" Long Yun asked him if he borrowed money?"

Seeing Xia Guizhi nodded, Long Ru hurriedly turned around, walked out of the door, and looked at the man head-on.

The two men, the old and the middle-aged, had already gone away, and the young man was still waiting by the door.

Under the sun, which was gradually setting westward, seeing Long Ru coming out, he handed over the brush in his hand and said very politely:

"Oh, your pen is off. ”

The voice was deep, calm, but there was a hint of nervousness.

Long Ru took the pen, frowned, looked at the man, and asked:

"My aunt, no, Long Yun, asked you to borrow money?"

What kind of aunt is this? Is this kind of thing something that my aunt can do?
