I didn't sleep all night in the summer, and I got up at five o'clock the next day, and the first thing I did when I got up was to touch the clothes hanging under the air conditioner. Although the clothes are not yet dry, they can barely be worn, and Xia Shiyu changes into his own clothes.

The clothes were washed by Gu Zhongqian after she left last night, although Gu Zhongqian asked people to prepare several sets of clothes for her to choose from, but she would not wear them.

Leaving the hotel and looking at the battery car that was still lying on the ground, Xia Shiyou's anxiety hit me again. She owes hundreds of thousands of dollars, she calculated last night, so much money, not counting interest, she has to go without eating or drinking for several years to be able to pay it off, and this is still when she can find a reliable job immediately.

She doesn't even have a job now, and only relies on the meager income of a few part-time tutors, when will she be able to pay off her debts?

Thinking of the conditions that the man had talked to her about in a threatening tone last night, Xia Shiyou only felt a tingling in his scalp.

She didn't dare to bet, she was afraid that if he really went to school, then she really wouldn't be able to hold her head up and be a person in the future.

Yesterday's car, she followed him to the hotel later, and quietly looked at it, the headlights were broken, and a large piece of paint fell off the front of the car. She thought that the driver might have turned sharply in order not to hit her, and crashed into the tree next to her. It's also to blame her, Lin Xiaoya and Ji Fan were so angry that they drove in the opposite direction, and pushed the battery car to the motor vehicle lane.

Counting it up, it's her fault.

Drinking water and stuffing her teeth, she admitted this unfortunate thing. But for fear that she would run away and not repay the money, she would get married with a license?

But so much money...... How can she take it out for a while? Thinking about it, she feels discouraged, and she has to scold Lin Xiaoya and Ji Fan several times.

Xia Shiyou did not go back to school, but took the bus back home.

Her home is in the old town of H City, a very dilapidated urban village, a tube building in the seventies and eighties, and several public toilets and kitchens. There is a fishy smell in the corridor all year round, the ground is always damp, and the clothes hanging outside to dry will always be blown by the wind to the balcony of people's homes.

There is always a noisy noise in the hallway, and there will always be a small couple arguing and throwing things in the middle of the night.

Most of the neighbors who lived here together when I was a child have moved away, and Ji Fan's family is.

Brother Ji Fan opened a company in partnership a few years ago, and the company's performance has been getting better and better in recent years.

Most of the people who live here now are migrant workers who come here from other places to work, and I don't know them in the summer.

Xia Shi Youjia is a room of more than 20 square meters, separated by three rooms, and a bed is placed in each room, and it is basically impossible to move away.

Xia Shiyou lives in a room with her sister Xia Qiangrose, but since she went to college, she has been living in school and only comes back on weekends. After Xia Shiyou went home, she took out her various identity documents from the drawer, and was hesitating, when she heard the movement outside, she hurriedly stuffed the documents into her bag.

The door of the room was kicked open, and Xia Rose, who was full of alcohol, stumbled in, and Xia Shiyou hurriedly held on.

"Sister, why are you drinking like this again? You will drink less in the future, and drinking too much will not be good for your health. Xia Shi helped his sister sit on the bed, then turned around and went out to fetch hot water for her.

"You think I'm willing, it's not about making money. Xia Qiangrose burped and choked herself, she frowned and said, "Shi You, I still envy you, you have a key undergraduate, a promising major, and a rich and handsome boyfriend." In the future, you will be much more reliable than your sister's. After that, Xia Qiang Rose lay on her back on the bed, tears welling up from the corners of her eyes, "Where is it like me, I am tired and tired, and I can't make money." ”

"Sister, don't say that, our family will get better and better. Xia Shiyou poured the hot water from the boiling kettle into the porcelain basin, put up a towel, and brought it in.

"Sister, get up, I'll wipe your face. Xia Shi sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to pull his sister.

Xia Qiangrose struggled to sit up, looking at her sister with red eyes: "Shi You, when will you and Ji Fan get married? ”

"Sister, I ......" When she and Ji Fan had broken up, they were stuck in her throat and couldn't say anything.

She knew that her mother and sister had always been counting on her marriage to Ji Fan in the future, and she would be able to ask the Ji family for more bride price money, so that she could prepare money for her brother to marry a daughter-in-law. If she knew now that she had blown it with Ji Fan, she would definitely be in a hurry, Xia Shiyou didn't dare to say it.

But it's not a way to keep it hidden, and sooner or later in the future.

"Sister, I broke up with Ji Fan. Xia Shiyou spit out a few words lightly, and then shrunk his neck and waited to be scolded.

Sure enough, Xia Qiang Rose woke up after hearing this, and said angrily: "What's the matter? How is this possible, Shi You, are you playing around with me?"

"It's not a joke, it's true, I broke up with him last night. Xia Shiyou felt a lot more relaxed after saying it, and she persuaded her sister, "Sister, it's okay, I'll look for a job right away, and I'll have money then." When I have the money, I can buy a big house, and we will live together. ”

Xia Qiangrose looked at her sister's innocent face, she only felt funny, she shook her head and said, "Shi You, you are too naïve." ”

"Sister, I have thought about it, I will work during the day and find a part-time job at night in the future. Xia Shiyou is now the most money-hungry one, she not only has to make money to supplement her family, but also has to pay off her debts.

She had just thought about it on the way home, and she would work hard during the day to earn money to pay off her debts. I continued to work as a tutor in the evening, earned money, and sent some of it to my family.

"Xia Shiyou, why are you so useless, the cooked duck can still fly. Xia Qiang Rose hated that iron could not become steel, and raised her hand to poke her sister's head, "Do you think that money is so easy to make? Is it a person who can succeed casually? You haven't entered the society yet, you don't understand at all, how difficult it is to gain a foothold in this city!"

An international luxury metropolis, a city that never sleeps, rich and luxurious.

In this city, there is no shortage of talent, and every year during the graduation season, a large number of outstanding graduates will pour into the city. Lively, crowded, is its hallmark. Here, prices and housing prices will always rise faster than wages, and you can make money, but you can never save money.

Every year, I don't know how many graduates from other places squeeze their heads in order to settle here, but Xia Shiyou is glad that she is a local hukou.

"Sister, everything has to be in a good direction, and I will try to find a good job. Xia Shiyou looked at her sister and pouted, "You drank all night? It's a social? Feng Gang pulled you there? Sister, don't mix with him in the future, don't be a model, it's so easy to be a star, let's find a job seriously, commute to work on time, don't drink and socialize, it's good for the body." ”

"Serious, do you say I'm not serious now?" Xia Rose cried angrily, tears flowed out, "You are high! You are serious! Don't recognize me when you have the ability, don't call me sister!"

"Sister, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean that. Xia Shiyou realized that he had stepped on his sister's thunder, quickly apologized, and then said, "How could I think like that? If it wasn't for my sister to persuade my mother, even if I was admitted to a good university, I wouldn't have been able to go in." ”

Xia Qiangyou and her brother Xia Dashu have not studied well since they were children, and they stopped going to school early, and they finally got good grades in Xia Shiyou, so after the summer college entrance examination that year, Xia Qiangrose said that she would let her sister continue to study.

In the four years of college, although Xia Qiang Rose didn't make much money, she would also squeeze out some subsidized sisters.

After Xia Shiyou went to college, since the first year, he has been running around looking for part-time jobs, making up tuition and living expenses. Now in addition to the three tutors, I also work part-time as a translator in Ji Fan's brother's company.

She thought that since she broke up with Ji Fan, she couldn't ask for this part-time job anymore, so as not to get entangled in the future.

After finishing the work at hand, paying the errand and getting the salary, I pushed the next work.

Hearing her sister say this, Xia Qiang Rose felt that she was still a little useful, and she felt better.

"Is school okay today? It's not a weekend, why did you suddenly go home. Xia Rose washed her face and kicked her sister gently, "I'm hungry, make me a bowl of noodles, I have to leave in a while, there is a window fashion show in the afternoon, I can't be late." ”
