Chapter 1: Let's Break Up

Next Chapter

"This day, how can I get through the day!"

In June, after climbing a few floors, Gu Mu, who had just finished delivering a takeaway, sat weakly on the ground and let out such an emotion.

He was depressed.

The takeaway just delivered, because it was a few minutes later than the scheduled time, was scolded by the customer, threatening to give him a bad review, to complain about him, which made him lose a lot of money in a low voice, and also helped the customer clean the room and take the garbage out and throw it away, so that the customer promised not to give a bad review.

Pengcheng is a first-tier city in China, but there are also many urban villages in this city, with a large number of peasant houses, and there are no elevators installed, so you can only climb up and down the stairs layer by layer.

In this hot weather, he was afraid to take such an order.

If you climb downstairs, your clothes will be soaked with sweat.

If you deliver a takeaway like this, you can only earn a few dollars.

In particular, electric vehicles are now banned in the city, and food delivery can only be done by bicycle, so the speed of food delivery has been greatly affected, often exceeding the specified time.

If there is a bad review and you are complained about once, you will have to deduct 200 yuan, and almost a day's takeaway will be delivered in vain.

So under normal circumstances, even if others scold him, no matter how ugly the scolding is, he can only bear it, and he has to keep saying good things.

I feel that my dignity has been trampled under the feet of others and trampled on fiercely.

But what can be done?

People like him, who have never read any books and have no skills, can't find any good jobs at all.

Food delivery, which is already the highest-paying job he can find.

Stepping on a bicycle to deliver dozens of orders a day, you can earn more than 200 yuan, and you also have an income of seven or eight thousand a month.

If you enter the factory and work more than ten hours a day, you will only get a salary of four or five thousand a month, which is not easier than delivering takeaways.

If he was alone, he wouldn't have to fight so hard, but he still has a girlfriend, so he has to fight for his tomorrow.

Although he can't see where his tomorrow is.

Delivering food can't be delivered for a lifetime, and it's just an upgrade from a takeaway brother to a takeaway uncle, and there is no future at all.

He wanted to save some money and open a shop, make a barbecue or something, and maybe start a family in the city.

But after having a girlfriend, the monthly consumption is much larger, the rent is more than 2,000 a month, plus living expenses, from time to time I have to give my girlfriend a gift, buy a few clothes or something, the little money from the takeaway is not enough to spend, my girlfriend always thinks he has no money, where is there anything to save?

In the past, when I could use an electric car to deliver food, I could earn more money, and I could earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.

Since the electric car was not allowed on the road two months ago, I can only step on a bicycle to deliver takeaways, the efficiency is reduced, the income is greatly reduced, and the tired and tired can earn more than 200 yuan a day, and I have to suffer a lot of scolding.

It's just that he was scolded by the customer, and after dragging his tired body home, he was disgusted by his girlfriend.

In the past two months, his girlfriend's dislike for him has become deeper and deeper. A few days ago, when the two of them were shopping after dinner, his girlfriend fell in love with a dress and asked him to buy it, but he didn't buy it, and the two of them quarreled, and until now, no one pays attention to anyone.

His girlfriend even moved out of the house he rented the day before yesterday and went back to the dormitory.

This made him even more depressed.

He took out his mobile phone to see his income from delivering food in the past few days, and thought to himself: "The dress that Tingting has taken a fancy to cost more than 1,300, and now the money should be almost saved, so I will buy that dress and give it to her at night, and she shouldn't be angry." ”

opened the phone, but found that there were several unread WeChat messages, which were sent by his girlfriend Tingting.

"She's ready to reconcile with me, isn't she?"

Gu Mu thought in his heart.

The mood was very cheerful all of a sudden, and the grievances that I had just received from that customer had disappeared in a blink of an eye.

However, when I opened WeChat, it was as if a scoop of cold water was poured down from the top of my head, and the whole person was cold.

Tingting didn't send a WeChat message to reconcile with him:

- Let's break up!

- I thought about it for a long time, I felt that we had no future, the two of us were together, and we could only deepen each other's pain, you can't give me the life I want, and I can't be a wife who satisfies you, so let's break up.

- I can't imagine our future, you are still like now, delivering food every day, you can't save a penny, you can only live in a rented house.

- You said you want to give me a home, but you don't even have a house, where is the home you want to give me?

- You said you want me to give you a child, but you can't even support me, what do you use to raise a child?

- Your description of the future has made me dream for you for several years, but now that it is time to wake up, we should accept reality.

- I'm sure you'll be able to find someone who fits you, but I know it won't be me.

- I will block all contact information with you, I will not come to you again in the future, and please don't come to me in the future.

β€”β€”From then on, one parted and two wide, each life rejoiced.

Looking at this WeChat one by one, Gu Mu's hands trembled, and he felt sad.

After talking about his girlfriend for two or three years, he broke up like this.

In the past two or three years, he has done his best to please his girlfriend, but he didn't expect to wait for such an ending.

Parted.

- Because you are poor, we are not suitable to be together, so we break up.

Gu Mu trembled and typed a line of words with trembling hands - I have given you everything I have, what else do you want from me?

Click Send, but it can't be sent, and it means that the other party is not a friend.

He called Tingting's phone again, and the mobile phone prompted "The user you dialed cannot be reached", which seems to have been blocked.

His hand holding the phone hung limply.

This time, it's really going to break up.

I want to cry without tears.

When I was very young, I knew that tears could not solve any problems, and I had long forgotten the taste of crying.

He sat there for a long time, and the passers-by looked at him like madmen.

After a long time, he stood up, patted the dust on his buttocks, and whispered to himself:

"It's nothing, it's just a woman who walks away with only money in her eyes, it's not a big deal. Work hard to deliver takeaways for a few more years, save a little more money, and buy a South Vietnamese wife. It's really not good, buy a human balloon, and you can make do with it for a lifetime. ”

Love can end, but life must go on.

Should it be delivered, or should it be delivered.

I was busy until more than 9 o'clock in the evening, and then dragged my tired body back to my place.

"It's okay to break up," he thought, "to give this house back, and rent a small single room for a few hundred yuan, and you can save a lot of money." ”

He rented a two-bedroom peasant house and lived on the third floor, and the rent was 2,500 a month, which was indeed a heavy burden for him.

If it weren't for Tingting, he would not have been able to rent such an expensive house.

Now that I have broken up with Tingting, there is no need to continue to live in such a big house.

took out the key, opened the curfew, and when he walked to the third floor, he was taken aback and found an old man squatting at the door of the house he rented, and there was a black garbage bag next to it, which was bulging, and I don't know what it was.

"Hey, old man, what are you doing squatting at the door of my room?"

Gu Mu asked unhappily.

No one would be happy to see someone they didn't know squatting at the door of their house, and Gu Mu was no exception.

Especially since he just broke up with his girlfriend today, he was already in a bad mood, and his tone was naturally not much better.

"Is that where you live?"

The old man looked up at him.

"Are you still living here?"

Gu Mu said very unhappily.

The old man asked, "Are you called Gu Mu?" from Niutou Village, Dafeng Town, Pingyao County, Xishan Province?"

Gu Mu suddenly became vigilant and said, "Who are you? How do you know this?"

"Son!" the old man suddenly became excited, hugged Gu Mu's leg and cried, "I am your long-lost father!
