I fell to my knees and wept silently.

My parents' hair was a lot grayer, wrinkles were up, and I even saw some age spots on my mother's face.

But now, it has become like this, the original spacious house is gone, and the dilapidated old house of more than 30 square meters has been replaced.

My heart really hurts, and at the same time, I wonder why I got into the bad habit of gambling, which had such a big impact on my family, and even affected my parents to sell their house and sell a tea house to pay off their debts.

"I'm your mother, I don't worry about you, who cares about you?" My mother's eyes were also a little red, and she secretly wiped her tears, "As long as you study well, don't get into those bad habits again, and live a good life, your father and I will rest assured." ”

"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely live well and make money to support my family. I promised.

"Hmm. My mother nodded and glanced at Chen Le, "Xiaole is only one year old, you can't leave people around you, if you want to go to work, someone has to take care of her, you will put it here with me, I will take her for you, so you can also find a job." ”

"No, Mom, don't worry, someone takes care of her. "I didn't want to trouble my parents anymore, I didn't want to let my parents worry about fatigue anymore, so I refused.

A one-year-old child, not to mention that milk powder is a big expense, you need a can a week, a can is at least three or four hundred yuan, and the cost of milk powder alone is two or three thousand a month.

And then there are diapers, it will be hundreds.

Children's resistance is weak, if there is a cold and fever, just take an injection, and it will cost more than 1,000 to prescribe some medicine.

If it was in the past, it would definitely not matter if it was handed over to my parents, they had the time and the ability to take it, but now I can't bear it.

It's not just a matter of money, Xiaole is only one year old, it is the age when it is difficult to serve, and when you get up in the middle of the night, your parents don't want to sleep well.

"You and Xiaojun are divorced, you take the child with you, she doesn't help you bring it, who do you bring it to?" my mother said, "Xiaole, you just put it with me, you will definitely not be hungry for her, you work hard." ”

"Mom, you really don't have to worry, although I divorced her, she is a mother of two children after all, and she won't leave the children alone. I said, "Don't worry, I have a solution." ”

My mom was silent, then sighed.

"Xiaojun, this child is also quite pitiful, you said you, why did you leave her?" my mother said, "Okay, it's good that the child is by your side, at least there is a bond between you and Xiaojun, you can get in touch." You have to make a good correction, you can't be like before. ”

"I know. I nodded in response.

When I left home, I carried the two thousand dollars my mother had given me.

Walking outside the community, I looked back at the buildings with mottled walls, and I had mixed feelings in my heart.

The two elders have worked hard for half their lives, and finally have a nourishing life, but they have all ruined me, and they have to worry about me when they are old.

Getting on the bus, I got off the bus at a large supermarket in the city center and carried Xiaole into the supermarket.

I don't have milk powder at home, so I have to buy some milk powder and put it away.

"Sir, this can of milk powder is good, one can only costs two hundred and thirty yuan, we are doing activities now, if we buy three cans, we will give another can. The supermarket attendant pulled a can of milk powder out of the shelf and said to me.

"Two hundred and thirty yuan a can?" I was a little uneasy, "I haven't heard much of this brand, it's a small brand, right?"

Actually, I don't know anything about milk powder, I have only heard of Sanlu, and I have a gut feeling that milk powder of more than 200 yuan is not very good. The buy-3-get-1-free campaign attracted me again, and I was a little hesitant.

"Sir, this brand of milk powder is very famous in China, you can rest assured, it is a big domestic brand, there is no problem, my relative's child is the same age as your daughter, he often asks me to buy milk powder from the supermarket. The supermarket waiter swore by it.

"This kind of activity is not every day, my relative heard that I was doing this activity, and bought two boxes of milk powder in one go, a full twelve cans, and gave four cans, how cost-effective? ”

"Is there really no problem with more than 200 yuan of milk powder?" I asked again.

"Don't worry, if there is a problem, will you still sell it here?" said the supermarket attendant.

I thought about it, and looked at the milk powder full of eyes, and the more than 200 yuan was not too low, and there were 156. More than 200 of them are big domestic brands, so they should be okay.

"Okay, then get me three cans, and send one can, right?" I said.

"Three cans get one can, you can rest assured, I won't lie to you. The supermarket waiter said, "I'll help you put it in the shopping cart, and you can just go to the checkout desk to pay the bill." ”

"Do you need to buy something else?"

"No need. I shook my head and pushed my cart to the camp.

"Chen Jin?" someone called me.

I turned my head and saw that it was Tong Wangjun.

I actually met her in the supermarket, what a coincidence.

"Xiaole, come and give your mother a hug. Tong Wangjun walked over and reached out to hug Chen Le.

A person pushed a shopping cart and followed Tong Wangjun.

The man was wearing a suit and tie, and he looked dignified.

"Wangjun, why don't you introduce me?" This person glanced at me and said to Tong Wangjun.

"This is Chen Jin. Tong Wangjun glanced at the people around him, and then at me again, "This is my colleague, what are you doing in the supermarket?"

"I came to buy powdered milk. I said, "What about you? Isn't it time to go to work, how do you have time to go to the supermarket?"

"I just finished talking about a business, and I had some time, so I went to the supermarket to take a look around, bought some milk powder, and diapers, for Xiaole, and some snacks, and brought them back for Ake to eat. Tong Wangjun said.

I glanced at the shopping cart next to Tong Wangjun, which contained four or five cans of milk powder, two packs of diapers, and some snacks such as yogurt.

"You don't have to buy milk powder, I bought four cans, enough for Xiaole to drink for a month. I said.

"Your milk powder is not good, it is domestic, only more than 200 yuan a can, I just saw that it seems that it is still doing activities, buy three cans and get one can, so calculated, the price of a can is only more than 100 yuan. At this time, Tong Wangjun's colleague glanced at my shopping cart and interjected.

"Chen Jin, your milk powder is only more than 200 yuan a can?" Tong Wangjun stared at me.

As soon as I heard it, I was annoyed: "What's wrong with the milk powder that costs more than 200 yuan? This is also a big domestic brand, why can't I drink it?"

"This brand is not a big brand, it is just a second-tier brand in China. Tong Wangjun's colleague smiled and said to me, "Although the ingredients of milk powder are generally similar, some domestic things are still not imported, which is reassuring, and you can buy good imported milk powder for an extra two or three hundred yuan." ”

"The child is still young, and he can't be sloppy, so he can't joke about the child's future in order to save this money. I advise you to put these cans of milk powder back, Wangjun and I have already picked out milk powder, all of which are imported good milk powder, more than 500 yuan a can, drink it with confidence. ”

"Chen Jin, put the milk powder back. Tong Wangjun said to me, "Xiaole can't drink such cheap milk powder." ”

"Is it good if it's expensive?" Tong Wangjun's words sounded very harsh to me, "I picked this milk powder, you don't care, give me Xiaole." ”

"Also, I have the ability to feed Xiaole and Ake, so I don't have to worry about you to take your milk powder back. ”

With that, I hugged Xiaole, paid the money, and walked out with four cans of milk powder.

After a while, I heard the horn of a car behind me and a Volvo S60 pulled up next to me.

"Get in the car. In the passenger seat, Tong Wangjun shouted to me.

In the cab, Tong Wangjun's colleague also glanced at me, but did not speak.

This car, this man, a Volvo S60, at least more than 300,000 yuan, is a sky-high price for me at present, and it is also a lot of money for most ordinary people.

"No, I'll take the bus back. I said, holding Xiaole in one hand and a plastic bag in the other, and walked towards the bus stop.

"Chen Jin, are you sick?!" Tong Wangjun got out of the car and walked quickly to me, "You don't have the ability to do it yourself, buy poor milk powder for Xiaole to drink, don't take your daughter to heart, and don't let people say it?"
