The reason that had just run away from home slowly returned, and after Shi Taotie vented his slurs through it, the depression in his heart, although it was not completely cleared, made the whole person feel a lot more relaxed for no reason.

No matter how cruel and ruthless the reality is, after despair, we still have to regain our strength and move forward with difficulty.

Because, the days are still flowing, and life still has to go on.

At this moment, Shi Taotie slowly got up from the ground, only to see that he was covered with dust stains, and the man's skin was that healthy wheat color, black and yellow, looking more and more sloppy and depressed.

Shi Taotie's current appearance does not look like a vigorous 28-year-old young man at all

On the contrary, it is more like a homeless man under the bridge that day, ragged, eating and waiting for death, full of vicissitudes.

Shi Taotie's eyes were red and red, probably because he had been infected by "normal saline" for a long time, and he subconsciously felt a little dry and uncomfortable.

Before the man could raise his hand to rub it, tears flowed down his cheeks.

After only a moment's effort, tears blurred his vision, Shi Taotie quickly closed his eyes and eased up.

After he got used to it, he opened his eyes again, and he regained his brightness.

Shi Taotie glanced down at his current situation, shook his head, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then, as if thinking of something, his expression was a little excited, and he didn't care about being embarrassed, and his steps were messy, like a headless fly, rummaging through the rental room.

Shi Taotie's rental house is not big, about 30 or 40 square meters, and on the right hand side of the door is a Simmons low bed, with crumpled blankets, shirts, shorts, socks, etc., some of which have not even been removed from the hangers.

In front of the low bed are two half-height orange folding tables, on which are placed some dishes and chopsticks, toothpicks, playing cards, cigarettes, buckets of instant noodles, chili sauce, mustard, rice noodles, various color packets, eggs, canned food, snacks, peanuts and so on.

There were overlapping red plastic stools next to the folding table, looking like about four or five, and near the stool was a case of snow beer, but the bottles inside were empty.

The beer crate against the wall is a separate toilet with a ventilation window in the upper left of the bathroom, but it doesn't do much.

On the left hand side of the door, there is a cloth wardrobe first, next to it is a computer desk, on which is a second-hand LCD computer, and under the computer desk is a mechanical keyboard in a drawer.

On the left and right sides of the display are placed a large stack of books, vaguely seeing Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hui cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Huayan cuisine, dessert making introduction and many other categories, without exception, all about eating.

With books, ingredients and practices are indispensable, so next to the computer desk is a small refrigerator and a simple kitchenette.

It is said to be a kitchen, but it is actually about the same as a small stove, about 80 cm in height, the stove is all solid, and it is laid with white tiles, and there are rice cookers, induction cookers, microwave boxes, etc., as long as it is a kitchen utensils, everything is available.

It seems that, in order to save space, the utensils are all miniature or small.

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, ginger and other spices are innumerable, hanging all over the walls with sticker hooks, and plastic bags are colorful and dazzling.

The small stove was far away from the bathroom door, and there happened to be a window in the upper left corner of the stove, and there was a plane tree outside the window, which was particularly shady.

Looking around, the entire rental house is crowded, and there is no place to put your feet.

Occasionally, there is still a mattress at the door of the bathroom.

Obviously, Shi Taotie slept there last night, because there was a small electric fan above the refrigerator that was whirring and blowing, and it never stopped.

"Where the hell did you go, you just used your mobile phone to call the old man......".

Shi Taotie rummaged for a while, but did not find his mobile phone, scratched the head of the chicken nest irritably, and muttered to himself depressedly:

"At this time, it's gone, Wucao, labor and management won't be so unlucky......."

Sure enough, in response to that sentence, people were unlucky, and they stuffed their teeth when they drank cold water.

Shi Taotie still didn't give up, he was sure that the mobile phone was in the rental room, maybe in some corner.

Shi Taotie was silent for a while, thoughtful, thinking back to what he had just done, just now he seemed to have kicked something, and then ......

"By the way, it should be ...... under the bed."

Shi Taotie flashed his light, then lay on the ground, looked at the bottom of the bed, and sure enough, he saw a black smart phone, lying in the center, and he instantly breathed a sigh of relief:

"Fortunately, I didn't lose it, I'm so poor now, I only have three digits left in the card, and it's enough to buy a ticket home......."

If you lose your phone, you'll really go begging under the overpass.

It took Shi Taotie a lot of effort to get his mobile phone out from under the bed.

He looked up and down, tried the function again, and found that there was no problem.

Shi Taotie's hanging heart finally landed, and he didn't have the money to buy a new mobile phone, especially in this special gap.

He calmed down for a while, found the landlord's phone in the address book and dialed out: "Hey, sister, I'm Xiao Shi, I'm going to move out on the first of next month, I've really troubled you recently......

An amiable female voice came from the phone: "Xiao Shi, have you found a job???

"No, no, I didn't find a suitable job, and there is so much competition in Kyoto City, how can a job be so easy to find......."

"Then you can rent a suitable house? Xiao Shi, I'm really sorry, my sister helped you ask several people, and there is no house to rent recently......."

The landlord's eldest sister thought that Shi Taotie was in a hurry, and hurriedly apologized:

"However, my sister assures you that I will help you find the house before the demolition ......."

"No, I didn't rent a proper ......." Shi Taotie listened to the words of the landlord's eldest sister, his heart warmed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile:

"It's because I'm going back to my hometown, I don't want to drift anymore, I'm too tired......."

"Xiao Shi, what are you doing, aren't you blind to your cooking skills when you go back to your hometown......."

The landlord's eldest sister was emotional, and said almost hatefully:

"You live in the house first, you can tell my sister if you have difficulties, don't give up, and then insist on persevering, you will succeed ......."

"Persistence, I've been persisting for eight years, and I still haven't achieved anything, and the more I mix, the worse ......."

Shi Taotie knew that the landlord's eldest sister was sorry for him, and how could he be willing, but the reality was there, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself:

"My parents are old, and when I go back to my hometown, I can at least accompany them, do my filial piety in front of them, and stay here except for disappointment and frustration day after day, year after year, there is no other ......."

"I really decided it, and I don't regret ???". The landlord's eldest sister said tentatively again, with a hint of hope in her tone, she wanted Shi Taotie to stay, because this young man was really good and had the hard work to not admit defeat
