It is said that there are countless parallel worlds in the world. Among these worlds, there is one that is very similar to ours, but slightly different.

In 2005, World of Warcraft officially began operation, Hong Kong Island Disneyland opened to the public, and the country's leaders took over the scepter of the Military Commission.

In Chongqing, a relatively backward southwestern region of China, a family is having lunch in a slightly dilapidated residential building.

"Xiaojing, let's eat a chicken leg."

A woman in her mid-30s, with a big belly, was serving vegetables to a young man in her early twenties.

"Thank you, aunt."

Seeing the chicken leg in the bowl, the young man looked a little frightened.

This young man's name is Xiao Jing, who is just 20 years old this year, and is a student at a third-rate college in Chongqing.

Xiao Jing's main job is a student, a part-time hooligan.

He is of average stature and appearance, and the only thing that may be unusual is his extremely poor academic performance and the frequency of fights.

But fortunately, in a third-rate university, bad grades are not a bad thing.

His parents are farmers in the mountains, and in the past few years of studying in the city, Xiao Jing did not live in school because he wanted to save money, and he ate and lived at his uncle's house, and his uncle loved him very much, but his aunt never treated him very well.

"I heard that your school is about to have an internship?" My aunt asked.

"Yes, the school will send out an internship notice tomorrow."

My aunt, who usually doesn't like him, is unusually kind today, and Xiao Jing's intuition tells him that something is wrong.

My aunt chatted with him again.

"Xiaojing, since you can support yourself, your aunt is about to give birth to a child, and this house is so small, you see ......"

Although Xiao Jing was not deeply involved, she could also understand the meaning of her aunt's words.

When his aunt said these words to him, his uncle sat on the side, smoking cigarette after cigarette, his face full of sorrow.

Xiao Jing sighed when she saw her uncle's appearance, but there was no resentment in her heart, her uncle and aunt were ordinary salaried people, and the combined income of the two was only more than 3,000 yuan, and now that her aunt was pregnant with a child, the family's expenses really couldn't afford to support an idler anymore.

However, although there was no resentment, Xiao Jing's heart was unusually sour.

The so-called internship of college students is basically voluntary help, and it is said that the salary is only ten yuan a day, and a transportation subsidy of three yuan a day is given.

Thinking that she couldn't starve herself if she went out, Xiao Jing gritted her teeth.

He said: "Auntie, you are right, I should indeed support myself, if I earn money in the future, I will definitely repay you and my uncle." ”

"Soon the school will arrange a place for us to do an internship, and then I may go to live outside with my classmates."

"In the future, I may rarely come back."

"Xiaojing, if there is any difficulty outside, call your uncle." His uncle snuffed out the cigarette and stood up.

"It's not easy to work, if you really can't stand it, when you go back to your uncle, you will have a bite to eat."

Xiao Jing's aunt heard this and glared at his uncle fiercely, but she didn't speak.

"Thank you, uncle, aunt, don't worry, I will definitely mix up my personal appearance."

"I'll go to school first."

After saying this, Xiao Jing put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand, got up and left this "home" where she had lived for nearly six years without looking back.

He didn't have any luggage, nothing more than some shabby clothes, but he was in the mood to pack it now.

Although he didn't hate his uncle and aunt, he was swept away, but he was a little sad.

As soon as he walked into the dilapidated elevator, his uncle suddenly rushed out and stopped him.

"Xiaojing, take it. I can't do anything without money. ”

The uncle took out a stack of money and stuffed it to him.

Xiao Jing wanted to say no, but in fact he knew that if he didn't have a little money, he might be on the streets in a few days.

"Thank you, uncle!" Xiao Jing said with a swallow.

"Xiaojing, uncle is sorry for you, you have to fight for yourself, you have to learn to take care of yourself."

Two lines of tears flowed from his uncle's vicissitudes of life.

"Hmm." Xiao Jing nodded heavily.

"Smack!" The elevator door closed slowly, the dilapidated elevator creaked and creaked, and the voice of my aunt scolding my uncle was faintly heard.

Walking out of the dilapidated apartment door, Xiao Jing turned around, slowly looked at her "home", and sighed.

He knew that from this day forward, he would no longer have a home in this city.

And his future is at a loss.

Suppressing the sourness in his heart, he took out the money that his uncle stuffed into him, and counted it to be a full three thousand yuan, which was his uncle's salary for nearly two months.

The emotions in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and his tears gushed out.

It took him a while before he collected his emotions and wiped away his tears. While walking outside, he took out his mobile phone, preparing to call his best friend Li Huan to see if he could go to his dormitory to borrow it for a few days.

His phone was an extremely old black-and-white feature phone, or had been given to him by his uncle.

However, just after pressing a few buttons, this Motorola antique mobile phone, which has been used for more than five years, has a black screen and is broken!

He was reluctant to buy a new mobile phone, so he quickly fiddled with it for a long time, but the old antique still had no response.

"Damn, what the hell is it today!" Xiao Jing scolded secretly, feeling that he was really unlucky today.

In these years, without a mobile phone, it is almost like a blind man, but fortunately, his uncle just gave him a "huge amount of money", which gave him the strength to buy a new mobile phone.

But for Xiao Jing, a new mobile phone or something is too luxurious, and second-hand mobile phones are his dish.

So he got on the bus at a bus stop not far away and went to the place where second-hand mobile phones were traded.

......

In 2005, online trading was still a novelty, and everyone still bought and sold things offline.

Xiao Jing walked for a long time, and did not choose the mobile phone he was satisfied with, because there was almost no pocket money, he seriously lacked the experience of buying "large items", although the price of those mobile phones was not expensive, but he was afraid of being pitted, so he never made a move.

While he was looking around, suddenly an old man grabbed him and said mysteriously: "Young man, I have good goods here, take a look." ”

"Good goods? What and how much is it? Xiao Jing asked.

Although this is mainly a second-hand mobile phone transaction, there are also a lot of other messy things.

"The mobile phone, almost brand new, powerful, only costs three hundred." The old man spoke in a very small voice, like a thief.

Xiao Jing saw the old man's appearance and thought to herself, could it be a thief?

He had heard from a few of his close friends that thieves were generally in a hurry to sell, and the price was cheap.

"I'll have to take a look first, and I can buy it if it's suitable." He said vigilantly that fakes are rampant these days, and it is likely that he will be cheated if he doesn't test the machine.

"You come with me." When the old man had finished speaking, he led him to a corner.

Xiao Jing looked around vigilantly, thinking to herself that it wasn't some kind of scam or robbery, right? He has a "huge amount of money" on him.

But looking at the flow of people around him, no matter how stupid a thief is, he won't choose to start here, and his heart is a little more settled.

Coming to a quieter corner, the old man mysteriously took out a mobile phone from his arms and handed it to him.

Xiao Jing took the phone and found that it was heavy and all-metal, and the brand on it had never heard of before.

The phone is very new, and the protective film has not even been torn, Xiao Jing pressed the power button, and the screen gradually lit up.

It was a stylish slide color screen phone with simple smart features, but it was already an extremely new model at the time.

A new machine of a similar style costs more than 3,000 yuan, and this almost brand new second-hand phone is only 300!

Xiao Jing's heart was pounding!

Xiao Jing tried the test phone, the phone was fine, and it seemed that the hardware was not bad.

He inserted his mobile phone card in it again and called his best friend, and the call was fine.

"The phone works, but it's a miscellaneous brand, you have to be cheaper." Xiao Jing said.

For a poor dick, bargaining is a must-have skill.

After some bargaining, Xiao Jing finally bought this miscellaneous mobile phone that looked like a thief at a price of 220 yuan.

He would not have imagined that because of this fortuitous transaction, his life would change dramatically.
