Chapter 6 Dependence on each other
Li Wen was very surprised to receive a text message from Bai Tang, probably because he left Hao Jian's phone number, that construction site was the location of the incident that night, and it was not too difficult to find himself if he really worked hard.
Also, it turned out that the girl who was standing on the roof of the Fortune Building that night was about to commit suicide was called Bai Tang, and the top floor of the Fortune Building was building a rainwater harvesting system, a sky garden and a helipad.
Li Wen and Bai Tang met on the tarmac, and Li Wen persuaded her for a while.
He heard Bai Tang talk eloquently about his life as chewing wax and having no fun in life, and said with a smile: "The life you hate can't be touched by many people's dreams, if even you feel that life is not fun, then we will simply jump into the Yellow River collectively." ”
"But people have to die after all, so why should they suffer a sin in vain in this red dust world?"
Li Wen already remembered that when Bai Tang said this that night, his eyes narrowed, and he felt a little charming, and he looked very beautiful.
"Oh, in that case, you can jump down, and you're done. He was still a high school student, and he couldn't talk to Bai Tang about this philosophical topic of life and death.
"You! if you let me jump, I'll jump!" Bai Tang heard this, of course she wouldn't really jump, but took a step back, her skirt was blown by the strong wind, revealing two white and straight calves, with the color of a girl's skin curdling, exuding a crystal light in the dark, Bai Tang glared at Li Wen angrily: "You are still not a person?
"You want to dance, I'm just following your wishes. Li Wen said helplessly.
"Also, this is the top floor of my house! This building is mine, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Bai Tang stood straight, his hands behind his back, and looked at Li Wen suspiciously, "Are you a thief?"
"I'm not a thief, I'm just like you, I'm here to jump off the building. Li Wen looked at her and said.
"Then you should jump!" Bai Tang sneered, she didn't really plan to jump off the building, she just felt bored and panicked, and wanted to find a place where no one could find it to be quiet for a while.
"Good!"
After Li Wen finished speaking, he walked towards Bai Tang.
He wanted to take the opportunity to catch Bai Tang, but it was too dark, he stepped on the steel bar on the ground, and fell off the roof.
Li Wencai didn't want to die, the more people who struggled to live could realize the difficulty of living, but by doing this, he unexpectedly got the opportunity to completely change the path of life, but he didn't expect that he would become a frightened dream of a girl, but now he still leaves traces and comes to the door to seek gratitude.
Li Wen replied simply, "Thank you, no." Lock the screen cleanly and put the phone back in your pants pocket.
To his surprise, the text message quickly returned.
The content reminds Li Wen to pay attention to the fact that Jinxin Jewelry may cheat in the profits of the subsequent prizes.
Levine sensed this.
But he is in a hurry to use money now, and it is not easy to get rid of 100 catties of gold bricks in a short time, at least he can't do it in three days.
But if he can't, he and his sister will inevitably be threatened and insulted by the so-called uncles and aunts again.
"I am no longer an ordinary person, and there will be such a thing as money sooner or later. ”
And Li Wen firmly believes that even if the jeweler repents, the profits from the sale of the first few batches of goods will definitely hit his card, not to mention millions, otherwise things are still on the cusp, such a big jewelry company, can care about 10 million, but will not make irrational moves in such a trivial matter.
It's a bit of a hassle, but there's no need to worry about it.
At this moment, Li Wen has returned home.
This is a very old house, there must be alleys behind the high-rise buildings, there is loneliness hidden behind the prosperity, the agency compound that was very enviable a few decades ago, and now the cameras and sentry guards around it have been demolished, leaving only a few old buildings and individual courtyards.
Li Wen and Li Huan live in their own house, a small bungalow of more than 70 square meters, their parents used to be the little secretary in the compound, the house was allocated by the unit, and the house fell into Li Wen's name after the death of his parents.
Although the house is broken, Li Wenting likes this place, the bungalow has a small courtyard, cool in summer, snow in winter, Li Huan also planted some seasonal vegetables in it, after all, it also needs money to buy.
Carrying the travel bag in his hand, Li Wen was thinking about how to explain the origin of the 500,000 yuan to his sister, when he suddenly heard a squeak in the yard next door, and then a dog barked.
Listening with pointed ears, I only heard the voice of an old woman in the courtyard and said: "Li Huan, just say what you lack at home, don't be embarrassed, we two old men don't need anything." ”
Then I heard Li Huan's shy voice say: "Thank you, grandma, I will return this steamer to you after I use it up, and it will never take more than two days." ”
"Sister won't even sell the cage drawer of steamed buns, right?"
Li Wen quietly walked to the wall, there was a pile of domestic garbage under the wall, he stepped on the garbage heap and looked into the wall, only to see Grandma Wang next door rubbing a rag in her hand, pushing the courtyard door with one hand and a half, presumably Li Huan had gone back.
Li Wen knows that there are two empty nesters in this family, who are lai-off workers in the factory and have pensions, and usually the two families don't move around much, but the old couple still take care of their sisters and brothers.
I saw Grandma Wang shaking her head and sighing, and when she closed the door, she heard an old man's voice in the house shouting: "Old woman, I just transferred the account to my son a few days ago, and this month's pension has not been paid." ”
Grandma Wang muttered as she closed the door: "Hey, I know, but Li Huan, this kid is pitiful, if you can help her, you can help it." Besides, it's not money that is borrowed, and Li Wen's kid is about to take the college entrance examination, I heard that I want to do well in my studies, and I ...... in the future."
As the door closed, the words below could not be heard clearly. Li Wen heard the knock on the door of his house behind him, so he hurriedly turned around and walked back with his bag.
Li Huan couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw a figure coming with her, and thought it was her uncle and aunt who were making trouble during the day and came to look for trouble again, she hugged the big steamer that did not match her figure in her arms, opened the courtyard door with her shoulder, and scolded in a low voice: "Don't mess around, my brother is at home." ”
"Sister, it's me. Li Wen carried his bag and walked under the street lamp.
"Li Wen, why are you only coming back now? As soon as Li Huan saw Li Wen, her pretty face was filled with a heartfelt smile.
Li Huan's complexion at night is much better than during the day, her long hair is like a cloud draped over her weak and boneless shoulders, her face is fair and delicate without grease, her slender legs are wearing a pair of gray cropped pants, the pale yellow floral top sets off her face a little coquettish, and a pair of green white hands hold the cage drawer on her chest.
Seeing Li Wen go home, Li Huan hurriedly opened and closed his extremely tight legs and greeted him.
"In the evening, the mall was holding activities, and I came back a little late. Li Wen smiled, took the cage drawer in Li Huan's hand, and couldn't help but ask when he entered the door: "Sister, where is the cage drawer before our house, did you sell it?"
Li Huan asked Li Wen to put the cage drawer on the kitchen stove, and the two of them sat on the sofa, she hummed in a low voice and said, "In order to buy a cemetery for you before, in addition to the money borrowed from relatives and friends, it was a little close, so I ...... Sell everything you can sell at home. ”
Li Wen found out during the day, except for the cage drawer, the only TV in the house, the air conditioner, and some things that could be moved, almost all of them were gone, and the whole family was destitute, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly, saying that people can't afford to live now, just according to the soaring prices of the current cemetery, I am afraid that I will not be able to afford to die.
Li Huan stood up and went to the kitchen to bring in the freshly boiled kettle, poured water for Li Wen, turned his head sideways and smiled at him, and said: "Don't worry about family affairs, go to your school well, you will take the college entrance examination in one year, and when you are admitted to college, I will be half relieved as a sister." ”
Li Wen looked at her when she talked about the university entrance examination, her eyes were full of expectation and pride, and she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. My sister is one of the best in both appearance and figure, once known as a flower in the courtyard of the municipal party committee, and her academic performance is also among the best in school, if it weren't for her younger brother, who is not useful, she would not have become a phoenix, only in her twenties, and she lived like a middle-aged woman.
But it's no wonder she attaches so much importance to it, when Li Huan was in high school, college students were still very popular, and after graduation, it was stable to be able to enter the unit to live.
But in today's society, whether you are a top student at Tsinghua University or Peking University, you have no money to buy a car or a house, not to mention that other people look down on you, even your girlfriend will kick you away, and you will look at you with such expectant and adoring eyes?
Although there are a lot of great principles of life taught in school, how many people can realize these truths, there is no money to try in love, no money to go to the hospital to try, and who else thinks that being born is worth celebrating?
Although Li Wen is still in high school, so many years of poor life have made him more mentally mature than ordinary peers, and he looks at this society more realistically.
"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go and give you hot porridge. Li Huan got up and wanted to enter the kitchen.
"No, let's go out to eat later. Li Wen smiled.
"Going out to eat......?"
Li Huan hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly smiled: "Yes, you can come back from the dead, we have to go out and celebrate, then, then you wait for me, I'll go get the money." ”
Li Huan has no money to take, she plans to be cheeky and go to Grandma Wang to borrow another hundred yuan, and sell it early in the past few days to pay it back as soon as possible.
"No, I have money. Li Huan said with a smile.
"You, rich?"
"Well, sister, have you heard about the event held at Fortune Square tonight?" Li Wen took a sip of water and asked casually.
Li Huan's eyes were confused for a while, and then he woke up and said: "You mean that what kind of jewelry company is engaged in the gold brick activity, you know, Grandma Wang next door was still talking about it in the afternoon, it is a lie at all, how can anyone have such a strong effort, and the jewelry company is not stupid, giving away such a large gold brick for nothing." ”
"Oh~ I see. Li Huan looked at Li Wen, "You are in a hurry to go out today, are you going to the event site to work part-time?"
Li Wen shook his head with a smile, took Li Huan's hand and sat beside him, then put the black travel bag on the table, reached out to open the zipper, and 500,000 cash was presented in front of the two sisters and brothers.
