Chapter 17: It's okay with us
The atmosphere was a little magnificent, I didn't stay longer, and I didn't want to say any more words of concern, and went out.
The woman and I were just neighbors, and I didn't even know her name until now, so I didn't ask and didn't want to ask.
Living in a 160-square-meter house, driving an Audi A6, young and beautiful, with children, the home is deserted, and I haven't even seen a man.
is willing to be fostered, mostly for money.
Such a woman should be an excellent object for playing ambiguous, maybe for three or five hundred yuan, you can come and solve your physiological needs.
But I don't feel this way about her, and I don't think too much about helping her, I just feel that she is lonely, a little pitiful, and sympathetic from the bottom of my heart.
A woman, with a child, guarding such a big house, no one to take care of her, and no one around her when she is sick, perhaps, this is the price of the mistress?
After feeding Chen Le milk powder, I picked up the old sheets, brought the feeding bottles, and filled some milk powder in plastic bags, and carried Chen Le to the overpass again.
Business was good yesterday and I decided to keep up with it.
"You can't do this, the child is too young, it's okay for two days once in a while, how can you take the child out like this every day? The child will not be able to stand it, in case he is sick and painful, it will be too late to regret it at that time." "Brother Zheng saw me taking Chen Le with me again, and couldn't help but say.
He must have thought of his daughter.
How hard life is, who doesn't want to enjoy it? But reality will always bring one helplessness after another, making people tired of running.
It is said that tribulations can make a person mature as soon as possible, but such tribulations, don't do it.
I smiled and didn't answer, because I didn't know how to answer, so I was speechless.
"That person was your friend yesterday?" Brother Zheng squatted beside me, "Did you bring a cigarette?"
"Didn't you quit smoking?" I said strangely, took out my cigarette, and gave him a stick, "Do you want fire?"
"I have. Brother Zheng took out the lighter, lit the cigarette, glanced at Chen Le in my arms, moved to the side, took a deep puff, and spit out a thin cloud of smoke for a long time, "I want to quit, but what's the point of quitting? If the child is gone, what am I still alive for? Just continue smoking." ”
Brother Zheng's eyes were a little confused, the wrinkles on his forehead seemed to be carved, stiff without a trace of change, raising his head and looking at the tall buildings in the distance.
"How's the kid?" I asked.
"I'm doing chemotherapy. Brother Zheng sighed, "What a child, he is too thin to be human." I'm not afraid of your jokes, brother, I'm scared to go to the hospital every day. ”
"I was afraid to see the child, she looked at me in the eyes, and my heart felt like a knife, really, I really felt that my heart was being cut a little bit of blood. ”
"Sometimes when I see my child's look at me, I think maybe it would be a good thing if she could just go like that, at least not have to endure endless pain. ”
"Don't say that, there is hope in people. I persuaded, "If people are gone, there is really nothing." ”
"yes, that's what I thought, hopefully a miracle. Brother Zheng nodded and sighed, "I hope there can really be a miracle." ”
There were more than 20 pairs of insoles left yesterday, and they were sold out before noon, so I asked Brother Zheng to help me watch the stall, and I took Chen Le to the wholesale market and bought another 200 pairs of insoles.
"Yesterday, I didn't look like an ordinary friend to you, since he works in the business district, he must have some connections, and asking him to find you a job, isn't it much better than setting up a stall here?"
Brother Zheng is talking about Wu Dong.
Wu Dong also entered Tsinghua University and was in the same school as Tang Wan.
In high school, the three of us often studied together, Wu Dong's grades were slightly worse, when he entered the class, he was in more than 20, I was third, Tang Wan had the best grades, first in the class, and first in age.
However, Wu Dong studied hard, and by the time of the last monthly exam before the college entrance examination, his comprehensive score was steadily in the top ten of the school, sometimes higher than my ranking.
At that time, the three of us made an appointment to enter Tsinghua University together, go to the Spring Garden together, and feel the moonlight on the lotus pond.
He even longed that when he graduated, the three of them would go to a company, and even threatened that company that he would hire all three of us, otherwise none of us would enter.
But now, I am alone in the flyover, and Wu Dong and Tang Wan have realized their original ambitions.
I am relieved and happy at the same time, but I also have a little inferiority, the gap with the two has been widened, and our lives will go to two worlds with each other.
"No, he's only been working for three or four years, so how can he find me a job so quickly?" I shook my head.
"That's not necessarily, Chinese society is a society of human feelings, he may not have reached that height, and he doesn't have the ability to directly arrange jobs for you, but what about the people he knows?"
"Believe me, since you have this resource, use it well, don't waste it. Don't feel embarrassed, shouldn't friends help each other except for drinking, eating, and chatting together?"
"But I just want to drink, eat and talk. I said.
Friends, if they are mixed with other things and involve interests, are they still friends?
"Confused, believe you Brother Zheng, I won't lie to you, I am from the past, and my assets have exceeded 10 million. Brother Zheng continued to persuade me, "Don't feel embarrassed, people are supposed to help each other, let alone friends, even more so." ”
"Feng Shui takes turns, today he helped you, tomorrow maybe you will help him, and then you will return this care. ”
I bowed my head and was silent, and after a while, I looked at Brother Zheng and smiled: "What do you think I can do to help a person who hasn't graduated from high school?"
"I also didn't graduate from high school, but I haven't been in the same glory?" said Brother Zheng.
"This is a special case, everyone is also human, but not everyone can be Jack Ma. "And I've always felt that as a friend, it's better not to involve these interests, otherwise the relationship will deteriorate." ”
I can trouble others, but I don't want to trouble others, especially friends, and I don't want to embarrass people.
Friends, it is enough to have a little wine once in a while, talk about life, and reminisce about the past.
At noon, the number of people buying insoles suddenly increased.
It excites me.
But at the end, I felt that something was wrong.
In an hour, more than 100 pairs of insoles were sold, and some people even bought 10 pairs at a time, without even looking at them, regardless of the price, and just took them and left.
"How's the business?" Wu Dong came to my stall.
Wu Dong didn't come alone, Tang Wan was too.
"So-so. "I stood up and tried to keep my demeanor as calm as I could.
I was shouting in my heart, setting up a stall is not a shameful thing, I rely on my hands to support myself and my daughter, and I am not ashamed.
"Bring me ten pairs of insoles. Tang Wan said to me suddenly.
My brow furrowed.
"It's you, right?" I looked at Tang Wan.
"What?" Tang Wan frowned.
"Don't pretend you don't know, the people who came to buy the insoles just now were arranged by you, right?" I said in a loud voice, and for some reason I became angry, "I don't need your sympathy, I have the ability to support myself, you don't need to do that." ”
"What are you talking about?" Tang Wan was originally choosing an insoles, but when she heard this, she put down the insoles in her hand, stood up, and looked at me in a cold tone.
"I know that you are a top student of Tsinghua University, with higher education and more ability than me, but I don't need your care like this, you are insulting me. I pointed at Tang Wan, "I don't have anything to do with you, it's just that I am familiar with it in high school, you really don't need to treat me like this." ”
Tang Wan's face collapsed suddenly, and there seemed to be frost in her eyes, staring at me: "You say, you have nothing to do with me?"
Instinctively, I wanted to retract it, because it seemed to be heavier.
However, as soon as I thought of Tang Wan helping me in this way, I felt ashamed.
"Isn't it?" I asked rhetorically, pushing the question back onto her.
