Chapter 9: Encounter with Xia Mo

Li Mingqing found the landlord and vacated the house a few days before the college entrance examination results, and when he left, he only carried a backpack, and he usually brought very few things with him when he just moved in.

Li Mingqing walked and took a taxi for more than an hour to come to a high-end community in C City, Li Mingqing took out the key and door card from the bag and walked in, Li Mingqing went up to the 19th floor and took out the key to open the door, the furniture and electrical appliances in the living room of Nuoda were pitiful, Li Mingqing walked to the master bedroom and only had the bed and furniture sent by the decoration, Li Mingqing put down the backpack, and then cleaned the room again.

This house was bought by Li Mingqing in 2005, but Li Mingqing did not live in it a few times after buying and renovating, this time he cleaned the house and returned to the bedroom to lie down.

Li Mingqing still lived a nightmare life after eating and sleeping and waking up in a daze, Li Mingqing threw away the mobile phone card some time ago and bought another card.

Li Mingqing lay idle at home until the last day of 2009, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Mingqing walked out of the house, the usual lively and bustling streets seemed very deserted at this time, the urban area looked up and could not see any fireworks only a forest of high-rise buildings, Li Mingqing found a supermarket on the street to buy some small fireworks, took a high-priced taxi to the high school he had just graduated from, and then sneaked in.

Li Mingqing was about to go to the playground to mean a few, but found that there was a person not far from the playground who was holding fireworks, and after the fireworks in his hand were lit, the person was on another one, this time Li Mingqing recognized the person opposite by the faint firelight, and walked over after being a little stunned.

Xia Mo noticed that someone was coming, turned his head to look and was stunned, and unconsciously put down his hand and let the fireworks ignite.

Li Mingqing walked in front of Xia Mo, and the two stood with each other.

Xia Mo spoke first: "Let's go for a walk together." ”

The two walked around the playground and finally stopped under a street lamp.

"What are your plans next?" it was still Xia Mo who spoke first.

"I don't know yet, what about you, how long are you going to be a teacher?" Li Mingqing responded.

Xia Mo glanced at Li Mingqing and looked into the distance and said lightly: "I will write a resignation report tomorrow." ”

Li Mingqing said "um", and then the two of them didn't say anything more.

Then the two of them found a bench and sat down like that. Until twelve o'clock, Xia Mo looked at Li Mingqing and stopped talking, and finally waved goodbye to Li Mingqing.

After returning home, Li Mingqing still stayed at home every day, except for buying food and throwing away garbage.

A few months later, on the day of the Qingming Festival in 2010, Li Mingqing cleaned the room again, turned off the water and electricity, paid the property fees for several years, and went out with a backpack.

Li Mingqing took a taxi to Longfeng Mountain, there were many people sweeping the tomb, Li Mingqing bought paper and incense, and stood in front of the tomb of Wang Li's grandmother Tang Xiaoqiong, looking at Tang Xiaoqiong's old face on the portrait, Li Mingqing shook his head, Li Mingqing burned the paper and lit the incense, and then stood there quietly waiting for the incense to burn, and finally bowed deeply before leaving like last time.

Li Mingqing went to the school again, and inquired about Wang Li's university and major from the head teacher Xu Peng, and also learned that Xia Mo had left his job, Li Mingqing was not surprised, and walked out of the school after thanking him.

"Li Mingqing!" A shout interrupted Li Mingqing's thoughts, Li Mingqing looked up, the person opposite was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered that this person was also in the same class in this high school, and dropped out in the second semester of the second semester of high school.

"Uh, Zhang... Li Mingqing thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with his full name.

"Zhang Li!" Zhang Li said speechlessly, looked at Li Mingqing and said again: "Your appearance has not changed for so long, I recognized you at a glance." ”

Li Mingqing said embarrassedly: "You have a really good memory." ”

Zhang Li smiled, looked at Li Mingqing with a backpack on his back, and asked, "By the way, which university did you go to?

"I didn't get in. Today, I passed by here to visit my former teacher. ”

"I remember you used to have good grades. ”

"In general, I didn't do well in the college entrance examination. ”

"Don't you repeat it?"

"Nope. ”

"And what are you doing now?"

"I'm going to go out to work. ”

"Really? I'm just going out to look for a job. ”

“。。。 No, I'm going to go out of town. ”

"I'm going to go outside, too, it's just right, and the people outside are not familiar with each other, and the two of us still have a care to take care of together. ”

“。。。 I'm going to S City. ”

"Yes, I'm struggling with where to go."

.....

Li Mingqing wanted to refuse Zhang Li, but Zhang Li wanted to find Li Mingqing as a companion, looking at Zhang Li, who insisted repeatedly, Li Mingqing finally compromised and agreed to go to Shanghai together, but Li Mingqing told Zhang Li that he might leave at any time.

The young man decided to do it immediately, when Zhang Li learned that the backpack Li Mingqing was carrying behind was that he had already packed his luggage, he immediately took Li Mingqing to the train station to pick up his luggage, Zhang Li's suitcase was stored at the train station, because he hadn't decided where to go, so he went back to school at the right time to go around, but he didn't expect to meet Li Mingqing.

Zhang Li was born in an ordinary family, his father is now a small bag foreman, his mother works in the factory, Zhang Li's junior high school grades are very good, and he is in a class with Li Mingqing, because he loves online games after high school, his grades have declined more seriously, especially in the second year of high school, he often goes out to the Internet with his classmates at night, one is really obsessed with the two games of fantasy and asking, and at that time Zhang Li felt that it was cool to skip class and go outside to surf the Internet, and Zhang Li felt "bad boy" during the rebellious period It's cool, it's a little different from the ordinary students in the class, and it looks down on those classmates who keep to themselves and are honest.

In the second semester of the second semester of high school, Zhang Li was called his parents several times because he often slept in class, and his grades fell seriously, and his parents scolded him and said good things, but Zhang Li's learning still did not improve, Zhang Li's heart was not at all focused on studying, and his weekly pocket money was not enough for his own Internet bills, and he even had to be hungry a few times a week, and Zhang Li did not go to school after getting his living expenses that week, and another classmate skipped class to go to the Internet café, and was brought out of the Internet café by his father on the third day。

In the end, Zhang Li's parents had no way to deal with him, so they went to the school to go through the withdrawal procedures for him, and after dropping out of school, Zhang Li's mother asked Zhang Li's uncle to help him find a job, and Zhang Li's uncle also ran a lot of relationships, and finally arranged Zhang Li into a cigarette factory.

The work arranged for Zhang Li is very easy, and the benefits are very good, Zhang Li did it for three months, he thought that the working hours were too long, not free, and he had very little time to surf the Internet, and he ran away without saying hello to anyone after getting his salary in the third month, and after Zhang Li spent his salary on the Internet outside, he slept on the street for two days, and finally called home.

Zhang Li's behavior this time really made the family angry, his mother cried several times for this, and the family did not look for a job for Zhang Li for the time being, Zhang Li told his father to break by himself, this time his father did not stop him, Zhang Li gave him 2,000 yuan when he left, and his mother secretly gave him 500 yuan, Zhang Li went out again with enthusiasm.

After Zhang Li went out, he used half of his money in the Internet café for half a month, and then he remembered to look for a job, because he was young and thin-skinned, and he was not happy to find a job at first, and when he saw that he had no money, he entered a hot pot restaurant with food and accommodation and became a waiter.
