That summer, 15

The dim incandescent lamp hanging from the low ceiling looked a little dimmer than it had been two days before, and the hazy gray layer on the bulb marked its years, and it should have been with the little dilapidated bungalow, so that the word goodbye was melancholy, but it was time to replace.

Li Jingjing, who had been rummaging for more than half an hour, was now leaning against the wall, and for a few minutes he was stunned to think like this to the small lamp.

Yes, Li Jingjing has found the household registration book.

The hut was so big that it was a place where things could be stored, nothing more than this iron bed and a small wardrobe. Although he had made a general search a few days ago, he could not talk about it carefully, but now when it was necessary, the search became serious, and finally turned out under the mattress.

For Xiao Nan's mother, Li Jingjing has always had a lot of things like: 'I don't like to live a hard life with him and divorce him.' 'Speculation. And when the beautiful and gentle woman named 'Chen Jia' on the second page of the household registration book in his eyes had the mark of death and cancellation, the impolite speculation disappeared.

I have some impressions of this woman Li Jing and strange...

Where have you seen it?

That's right, I remembered. It seems like in a dream... Speaking of which, how does it look like the beautiful woman holding the two- or three-year-old Xiao Nan in last night's dream? Hey, don't say it, it's really like!

Li Jing suddenly got the answer.

Hawkers, in the face of this result, Li Jing couldn't say how he felt. It's hard to be hurt, he doesn't have any feelings for her, but it's about loss and regret, if he is reborn, such a beautiful wife is here, and he can help him share it, then everything will be very beautiful, right?

As for the reason for appearing in the dream.... Probably, it was the memory of this body, in the depths of his soul, that took root and sprouted...

....

'Knock''Knock'' 'Knock'

There was a knock on the door.

Li Jingjing closed the household registration book, retracted his gaze at Xiao Nan, and even cut off the superfluous thoughts of 'Xiao Nan is really like her mother, she should be her own', got up and opened the door, and the swarthy man stood at the door with a smile.

"Brother Lu, are you here? Li Jingjing pulled the small stool out.

"Uncle Lu. Xiao Nan sat on the bed and shouted sweetly.

"Huh. ”

The swarthy man responded gently, rubbed Xiao Nan's little head, and then turned his head to the inside and said quietly, "I won't sit down, the store is still busy, now while there are fewer customers, my mother-in-law is watching, I will come to talk, and I have to rush back to help later." ”

Then he withdrew his hand and asked Li Jingjing, "When are you free these days?"

"These days?" Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of the man surnamed Lu, and said a little embarrassed, "I have to go to work during the day, so I shouldn't be able to ask for leave." It's no problem at night. ”

"Okay. I'm relieved when you say that. Shall we see you tomorrow night, tomorrow night, at about seven or eight o'clock?" asked the swarthy man.

"So fast?"

"Hurry up. The man surnamed Lu couldn't help muttering, "Anyway, I want to see you sooner or later... That's it. Speaking of this, he glanced at Li Jing again, and said, "It's... You... You're tomorrow night... That..."

Li Jing said embarrassedly, "I understand Brother Lu, I will dress appropriately tomorrow." ”

"Hehe..."The swarthy man's face was slightly red, and he rubbed his hands embarrassedly, "That... I'll go back to work first, and I'll come when you want to eat. Then after getting Li Jingjing's reply of "I ate tonight", I had to go back helplessly.

The door closed back, Xiao Nan's big clear eyes were a little curious, she didn't know what Li Jingjing and the man surnamed Lu were talking about. And Li Jingjing didn't plan to tell Xiao Nan about this now, after all, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, such a young child.... I want to be myself....

Li Jing suddenly thought of how anxious and uneasy he was when his parents died, and he was about the same age as Xiao Nan when he entered his uncle's strange home.

If he could ask for a daughter-in-law, he wouldn't dare to ask for much extravagance... As long as it's good to Xiao Nan, it's good to be able to help take care of Xiao Nan.

....

Sitting on the bed, Li Jing looked at himself in the mirror and stared at himself in the mirror.

This is a very beautiful face, and it can be said that it is a good-looking type. It's just that the hard work and hardship of these days has made him look a little older than before. Adding messy hair and stubble hides some of the advantages, making it look ordinary, just like an ordinary sloppy man at the age of 27 or 8.

Indeed, not to mention that the man surnamed Lu feels that the image is not good, Li Jingjing can't even look at it - blind dates really can't be like this!

Catch up with Ming'er, wash your hair and face, and go to the commissary to buy a razor later. Wrong... How much does a razor cost? Be careful to scrape, the effect is the same!

While calculating, Xiao Nan was lying on the bed and heard a somewhat confused voice, "Dad, I'm going to sleep." ”

I don't know what time it is now, Li Jingjing guessed that it was more than 8 o'clock, and it could be 9 o'clock. According to the time, she would probably lose her spirit during this time if she got up too early in the morning.

"Dad, go to bed early. Xiao Nan whispered.

Li Jingjing's heart warmed, and he nodded, "Well, let's sleep, Dad and so on also slept." So he turned off the light, and when she fell asleep, he took advantage of the night to find out of the room, and went to the commissary, and bought two loaves of bread, a small box of blades, and a small bag of hard candy for five cents. After the sugar was placed on the table, he leaned on the window as he had done yesterday, dipped the remaining half of the sauerkraut bun in a small cup to prevent it from spoiling and left it for tonight, admired the moonlight, and chewed it hard.

It's not that Li Jing is happy to nibble on unpalatable, tasteless bread like this. But for the cost of living, his heart has always been hanging.

The money was far more unspent than he thought, and the 200 yuan he originally thought was not enough. started the salary of 200 yuan in advance, first spent 30 yuan to buy a fan, plus some scattered fancy in the past few days, item purchases, and living expenses, there are about 130 yuan left. The 130 yuan can be spent for 13 days if two people use more than ten yuan of food money a day.

Salary miles?

The factory will not be issued until the 15th of next month.

It's May 26th, 19 days later. In addition to deducting the 13 days that can be supported, what should I do with the remaining 6 days? Not to mention that 10 yuan a day is definitely not enough, you must know that the staff meal at noon will have two yuan.... So, if he doesn't do this, how can he succeed? You can't let Xiao Nan eat this like himself, right?

"Why don't you go buy some steamed buns tomorrow and come back? Steamed buns are better and cheaper than bread." 2 yuan can buy a big bag! Like bread, 1 yuan 2 pieces, a bread is not much bigger than a steamed bun!" Li Jingjing was very satisfied with his decision.

After swallowing a few pieces of bread and throwing the sauerkraut bag into the garbage bag, Li Jing went out and came to the restaurant surnamed Lu.

Now the hotel is deserted. Maybe it'll be closed in another hour or two.

"Brother Lin, why are you here?" The man surnamed Lu greeted with a smile when he saw Li Jingjing, "Come, sit, sit." ”

Li Jing nodded quietly and replied, "Brother Lu, I'm not here to eat, I'm... I'm here to trouble you. ”

"Things?"

The man surnamed Lu sat opposite Li Jingjing, in the sweltering night, his white vest was already soaked with sweat, he looked outside the store, and said to the woman surnamed Zhang, "Daughter-in-law, you can bring two bottles of cold beer, there are no more guests, I will have two drinks with Brother Lin." ”

Without waiting for the woman surnamed Zhang to respond, Li Jingjing's face changed greatly, and she said, "This can't be done, Brother Lu, I don't drink, and I can afford it at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”

"Ahh

The man surnamed Lu was a little embarrassed, glanced at the woman surnamed Zhang, and then got up and went to the refrigerator to pick up a bottle of beer, unscrewed it and poured it a few sips, and asked, "You want to ask about my relative, right?" Want to ask about that?"

“.....”

Seeing that the man surnamed Lu misunderstood, Li Jingjing laughed dryly, "No.... In this regard, I don't dare to ask for anything, if I can live, it will be good for Xiaonan. I wanted to ask you something else, do you know where there is a part-time job at night around here?"
