The philosopher said that success and good luck can make people kind and tolerant.

found a stable job and reconciled with Zhang Nan, so that Bao Liang was full of love and kindness to everyone and everything. Not only is he willing to do everything for Zhang Nan, but he is also very close to Liu Cunliang and Li Chen as he was when he was a child.

It is said that friendship can only last a lifetime in the friends made since childhood, and the friendship in adulthood must have an element of transaction; Feelings can only last a lifetime in lovers or relatives, lovers rely on affection, and relatives rely on blood connections.

The blood is naturally unchanged, but the affection is unpredictable. Maybe the ups and downs are the nature of love and her true charm.

Zhang Nan also said to Bao Liang, there are always a lot of suspicions when I am with you, but after leaving, I miss you very much, maybe I am too small. Bao Liang was full of joy when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but wonder, what did she suspect about him? In what ways is it too small?

Although Li Chen and Liu Cunliang both worked night shifts, Baoliang had more contact with Liu Cunliang at that time. Because Bao Liang has a lot of opinions about Li Chen in the matter of Fei Fei. Although Bao Liang has no impulse to love Fei Fei, he doesn't know why, and he is always angry about Fei Fei sitting on the stage in a nightclub.

Sometimes, after work, when Zhang Nan didn't ask him out, Bao Liang would go to the night market to find Liu Cunliang and help out in his Liangliang fashion store for a while. From Liu Cunliang's mouth, Bao Liang knew that since Bao Liang moved out of Fei Fei, Fei Fei has not gone to work in a nightclub, but Liu Cunliang met Fei Fei in the women's market one day, but found that she was dressed in fashion, and she was also generous in buying things, and asked her what she was busy with recently, Fei Fei said that she was not busy with anything, and she was idle. Liu Cunliang later called Li Chen to ask him, only to learn that Fei Fei had long since stopped working with them.

Bao Liang listened, full of suspicion.

The next day, Bao Liang went to find Li Chen.

Li Chen's newly rented apartment is far less spacious and comfortable than the one in Xingfu New Village, which is an old-fashioned building that shares a toilet on each floor, and each family's kitchen is located in front of his house. It was dinner time when Bao Liang went, and every household was stir-frying vegetables and steaming rice at the door, and the narrow aisle was oily, and a faint layer of smoke had accumulated on the roof.

Li Chen lived in a room at the end, and after knocking on the door for a long time, Li Chen opened the door in disheveled clothes. Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, Li Chen didn't let Bao Liang into the house, and pulled him to the side of the stairs with his shoes on his feet and talked. At the moment when the door opened and closed, Bao Liang saw that Li Chen's room was messy, and there was a vague woman sleeping half-naked on the side of the bed.

"You got a girlfriend?"

Bao Liang followed Li Chen down the stairs and walked out of the door, and the air outside seemed much fresher. Li Chen replied vaguely: "Ah." Then he asked, "Why are you here to find me something?" I heard that you and Fei Fei had another falling out. ”

"Who did you listen to?"

"Just listen to Fei Fei herself. Baoliang, don't look at us as brothers, I really sympathize with Fei Fei in this matter, you said that Fei Fei can't stand you, even your current job is what Fei Fei helped you find. Dongfu Hotel is a five-star hotel, how much can you earn a month now? ”

Bao Liang didn't answer, he didn't say how much he can earn a month now, and the little salary he earns is definitely not comparable to Li Chen, who earns tips in entertainment venues. He asked Li Chen rhetorically: "Why didn't Fei Fei do it with you?" ”

Li Chen smoked a cigarette and took a puff before saying, "It's long gone." ”

Bao Liang asked: "Is she quitting this business, or has she changed places?" ”

Li Chen said, "Let one of our guests take it away." ”

Bao Liang was stunned for a long time, as if he wanted to judge Fei Fei's fate answer from Li Chen's simple reply. He wasn't sure what the three words "taken away" contained in it.

Li Chen said: "In fact, the biggest ideal and the best destination for them to do young ladies, the most enviable thing all day long is to let a rich man take it away." Whether they can get married or not, they are all decent, at least they don't have to fight all day and all night. It's just that Fei Fei can't follow this old hill, this person is not reliable. ”

Bao Liang's eyes widened, as if he had a sister who had been abducted, and his heart was like a knife. He asked Li Chen loudly: "Who is Lao Qiu, where did he take Fei Fei?" ”

Li Chen looked at Bao Liang, as if he was guessing whether Bao Liang's excitement was really in love with Fei Fei, or just out of worry. The smoke from his mouth came out from both sides, and it hurriedly drifted away with the wind. Bao Liang himself couldn't figure out what kind of feelings he had for Fei Fei, whether he was angry with her or lamented her misfortune.

Li Chen didn't answer Baoliang, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, looked at the sunset in the distance, and said to himself a little in a tone:

"That Lao Qiu actually doesn't have any skills, so he just makes a little money by making ***** in a few fields, but this guy doesn't matter what, he lent Fei Fei 50,000 yuan for her mother to have surgery, and he wrapped Fei Fei down. Fei Fei actually doesn't like him, I know best, she still likes you, but you don't like her. Besides, you can't give her 50,000 dollars. Lao Qiu has a few rotten boys, Fei Fei followed him, and ordinary people at least didn't dare to bully her. They are girls in the young lady's business, and everyone wants to find a backer. ”

Bao Liang found Fei Fei that night at the door of the famous "Song and Dance Shengping" nightclub. According to Li Chen, the largest nightclub in the city is Lao Qiu's frequent nest.

Fei Fei really came in a taxi with Lao Qiu and one of Lao Qiu's horses. Bao Liang shouted at her as they walked side by side on the steps in front of the nightclub, and Fei Fei glanced back at him with a surprised expression. She walked down the stairs quickly, and meeting Baoliang here was a surprise or an embarrassment for Fei Fei.

"Why are you here?"

"He's Lao Qiu?"

Bao Liang didn't answer, glancing angrily at the stout middle-aged man on the steps.

"Who told you?" Of course Fei Fei understood something, "Who asked you to come, isn't it Li Chen?" Why doesn't King Li Chen's mouth have sores! ”

Lao Qiu's horse boy also walked down the steps and approached them, probably to see what trouble Fei Fei was in. Fei Fei waved at him, which meant that it was fine. "This is my fellow countryman, let's talk a few words, you guys go in first." The boy then stepped back and whispered to the old man on the steps. Lao Qiu squinted at Baoliang's side, and after looking at it for a while, he slowly turned around and walked into this lively "singing and dancing shengping".

When Fei Fei saw Lao Qiu entering, she turned her head and calmed down, she asked Bao Liang, "What did Li Chen tell you?" ”

But Bao Liang was not calm: "Do you know what this old hill does?" ”

Fei Fei blinked and thought for a moment, probably thinking about how to answer. Bao Liang didn't allow her to think carefully, and his tone was aggressive.

"What is your relationship with him, do you think this kind of person will marry you?"

"I know, it won't."

"Won't you mess with him?"

"I don't mess with him, who am I messing with, with you? Do you want me with you! ”

Bao Liang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to answer.

"Can you cut my mom with you! Where do I live with you, and what do I eat? Lu Baoliang, you don't pull your tongue when you speak, you are sick like that, I don't come out to mess around, can you live to this day! ”

Bao Liang's face was red, and even the passers-by around him were shocked by Fei Fei's scolding, and they all stopped sideways. Bao Liang's face and body were pierced by countless gazes, and he almost cried and pleaded with Fei Fei:

"I ...... I'm sorry how are you! After me, will I pay you back! I beg you, Feifei, listen to me, you find a job to do well, you owe him the money we can come together! ”

Fei Fei saw Bao Liang's excited appearance, she deliberately laughed with a relaxed and disdainful sneer, but almost at the same time, her eyes also turned red.

"Forget it, between the two of us, don't talk about money. I don't know you yet, Baoliang, your personality, you will never get rich. Liu Cunliang is such a stupid person, he also opened his own business, and he knows that he will buy lottery tickets when the time comes. Don't hold on to your face and say that you want to pay me back, I don't believe it. You also think about it for me, I can't get your money, people can't figure you, I'm still a fool to guard for you, I'm stupid! ”

Bao Liang's heart was hurt very badly, and he didn't want to be so degraded in front of any girl, even a girl like Fei Fei who didn't call him. Maybe today he found out that he loves her so much, it is a kind of family-style love, that kind of longing, worrying, distressing, just like hurting his sister. He couldn't bear her going down the evil path, and he couldn't bear her commitment to an innocent man like Lao Qiu. But Feifei is right, what does he rely on to save her? If he can't make a promise, then there is only one way, and that is to take out the money to redeem her from Lao Qiu! Fifty thousand, maybe more!

For three whole days, Bao Liang Shen did not keep his mind, and he always thought about Fei Fei's affairs when he went to work and got off work. Zhang Nan sensed that his mood was wrong and asked the reason, but Bao Liang could only say that he was unwell. He was not so confused as to tell Zhang Nan the story of Fei Fei, in front of a woman who thought you loved her with all your heart, showing such concern for another woman was tantamount to provoking a war.

Bao Liang went to Liu Cunliang, he thought that Liu Cunliang was Fei Fei's earliest boyfriend, and he might be able to take out some money to rescue Fei Fei. But he was disappointed. Liu Cunliang's small shop is cold, and he can see it by talking about the façade. Moreover, Liu Cunliang said that even if Fei Fei came back to him, he wouldn't want it. That old hill is not the first man Fei Fei had! Once the girl does this for a living, she will have to find a place that no one knows in the future. He said Baoliang, you don't want to think about it, which man is willing to marry a woman who makes people play bad as his wife!

Bao Liang can't sleep at night, and he can't be at peace.

He thought that as long as Fei Fei could leave Lao Qiu, no matter how bad she was in the future, she would go with her. Because Lao Qiu is in the pill business, Fei Fei follows him, it is not a question of chastity or not, but to step on the blade every day. He also knew that just by knowing and reasoning, he could no longer move Fei Fei, who was mixed in those fields every day, and his guilt and fear of this illegal business had become indifferent, numb, and indifferent.

Three days later, when Bao Liang got off work, for the first time in history, he took the initiative to push Zhang Nan's invitation, but called Fei Fei to come out. Fei Fei's voice on the phone seemed to be unawake, and she mumbled her nose and asked Bao Liang to pass.

Fei Fei moved the place, probably the house that Lao Qiu rented for her, the decoration and area were better than the original residence. When Bao Liang arrived according to her address, Fei Fei had just woken up and was putting on makeup in the bedroom. Bao Liang sat on the edge of her bed, thinking about her stomach for a while, but she didn't know where to speak.

"What are you looking for me for?"

Fei Fei sipped her lipstick and admired herself in the mirror. I don't know if the cosmetics she uses now are more particular or she has increased her taste, and the makeup on her face is much more pleasing to the eye than in the past. Bao Liang only looked at her in the mirror, as if this could somewhat dispel the sharp edge of each other's direct gaze.

"Fei Fei, you are my sister, you are like my own sister. I can't leave your business alone. ”

Fei Fei stopped putting on makeup, her face in the mirror was expressionless, but Bao Liang could still hear a hidden touch from her casual voice.

"What do you want to do?"

"From tomorrow, I will find a way to pay you back, I don't know when I will be able to pay it back, but I have this determination."

"What do you rely on, on your little salary?" Fei Fei turned her head, "I think your only capital is to sit on the stage in the arena like me." You're so handsome, if you really do this, you must be much hotter than me, can you believe it? I don't believe it, let's bet. ”

Bao Liang looked up at her, and there was no shame or anger in his eyes. Fei Fei smiled to herself and gave her own answer: "You, I know you too well, and your skin is too thin." You will definitely not do shameless things, right, then you will die to save face and suffer the sin. ”

Bao Liang responded slowly, he said: "What I want to do now is the most shameless thing. ”

In the evening, Bao Liang got off work.

He has been transferred from the front desk reception to the hotel's executive club, and the gray suit he used to wear to work has been replaced by a black tuxedo with an apple collar. He took off his crisp tuxedo, took a serious shower in the staff bathroom, and then changed into his own clothes. This dress was just bought for him by Zhang Nan, and it was a birthday gift for his twentieth birthday. In fact, the birthday has not yet arrived, but the gift has already been delivered by the delivery company in advance. Zhang Nan said with a smile on the phone: Birthday should not be just a happy day, it should be entered a week in advance, and it should be considered a happy ** when the candlelight of the birthday dinner is lit. Twenty years old is an important moment in life, and it deserves to be savored and celebrated.

Bao Liang put on the best clothes he had in his life, this set of clothes was worth nearly 10,000 yuan, he was not familiar with the brand of this dress, but he looked at himself in the mirror, and even he couldn't believe it, the boy in the mirror was a white-collar aristocrat.

This is a casual suit, and in casual wear, it is more serious. Zhang Nan also equipped this suit with a fashionable satchel, which was worn cross-body on the shoulder, making Baoliang look young and energetic, looking like a student in a fashion magazine advertisement.

Bao Liang is dressed like this, how can passers-by not turn back! He stood on the lively street in such a dress, standing at the subway station on the side of the street. He took out a piece of folded cardboard with bold letters written in large letters in advance from his satchel, opened it and held it to his chest, and all the men and women entering and exiting the subway station stopped and turned their heads to look sideways.

It reads: I want to treat my girlfriend's mother, please give me a little help! Thank you!

At his feet, an empty cardboard box was placed. The "most shameless thing" he wants to do is begging!

His appearance, his dress, his clean hair and clean face are not comparable to the act of begging on the street.

Soon some people watched, some people were surprised, and there were whispers in front of and behind them. Bao Liang didn't know whether his face was white or red, and all his nerves were numb. He didn't even know that someone had already generously put coins in the cardboard box at his feet. Most of the people who put in the money were young women, perhaps not out of kindness, but out of curiosity; Maybe they don't want to cure the disease and eliminate the disaster, but just for the simple expression on Baoliang's face. Perhaps women's hearts are the softest, and they are easily moved by this kind of love - a young man in the prime of life, for the sake of his girlfriend's mother, did not hesitate to show his face and do such a lowly and humiliating thing, they may have discovered the greatness of love, and the respect that this behavior deserves.

On the first day, Bao Liang changed two places, and in addition to this subway station entrance, he also went to a supermarket. People who come out of the supermarket have some loose change in their hands, and it is easier to get handouts. When the money in the box is enough to cover the bottom of the box. At that time, Bao Liang will empty the box again. After the loose tickets stuffed into his satchel were counted at night, even Bao Liang himself could not believe that he had received more than 400 yuan after standing on the street for only three hours. According to this calculation, the amount that can be earned by begging in a month will not be less than tens of thousands.

He didn't expect that just the next day, the situation would change.

Perhaps the first day's begging had a bit of a sensation, and the next day the onlookers gathered faster and more, and it didn't take long for a manager with a red hoop on his arm to intervene. They asked him what he did, whether he was a student or unemployed, and in full view, of course, Bao Liang could not name his unit, and the Dongfu Hotel, where he worked, was famous in the provincial capital, and was the place where visiting state guests stayed, and it was a famous club for the upper class. The fact that an employee of the Dongfu Hotel is begging on the street will of course be in the news and will bring shame on his business.

So, Bao Liang had no choice but to close the stall and leave, and in the midst of ridicule and reprimand, he put away the cardboard carton with a red face and moved elsewhere.

Bao Liang was right to worry that this would be news. A few days later, Bao Liang was repeatedly driven and could only go to a relatively secluded place, so there were fewer and fewer people who put money into the cartons, but a tabloid reporter came to talk to Bao Liang with a sincere face, trying to find out the ins and outs of Bao Liang and the causes and consequences of begging - you are a college student, is your girlfriend in the local area, can we talk to her, what disease her mother has? We can publish your stories and raise money for you to raise money for the community...... Have you ever asked the news media to solicit donations for you, or have you asked for help online to solicit donations? However, it is useless to ask for help online, and everyone knows that there are too many online scammers......

No matter how the reporter asked and induced, Baoliang never opened Chrysostom and was unmoved.

The reporter who claimed to be the Metropolis Morning Post was in his thirties, and his appearance and speech were still decent. Bao Liang doesn't think he's a bad person, but he definitely believes that he can do bad things. He knew that once his identity was exposed by the media, he would be more than lucky for him, Fei Fei, and his unit.

For a whole week, except for weekends and Saturday nights, when Baoliang and Zhang Nan ate together and watched a movie, he spent the rest of his rest dressed neatly and begging on the streets. The amount of money earned from begging varies from day to day, sometimes more than 400 yuan a day, and sometimes only a few loose dollars. After a long time, Bao Liang realized that begging is not an easy thing to do, and the embarrassment of face is not the biggest difficulty later, and it is even more necessary to worry about avoiding the drive of urban management and security guards and the entanglement of reporters.

Begging brings Bao Liang both the feeling of sympathy and the hurt of suspicion and ridicule. He forced his face to be as thick as possible, and when he encountered a few vicious words, he could only learn to swallow his anger. In order to get more alms, he even moved the begging from the subway station entrance into the subway car, and held up the begging sign to the passengers who were close at hand in the crowded carriage, which would form an unavoidable high pressure on the passengers, especially those women with kind eyes, in the face of the pleading words on the sign and the pleading gaze of Baoliang, someone would always take out the money. Bao Liang also knows that this kind of begging method is a bit close to coercion, not very moral, and even, disgusting. But the reality in the cardboard box is really a greater oppression for him, which makes him inevitably dizzy. Fortunately, this kind of begging in the carriage was quickly reported by the masses, and Baoliang was soon detained by the police and train staff and taken to the subway police station for reprimand. The stern admonition was bearable, but what was unbearable was that all the money collected in one day was confiscated.

When the money could be made up to the whole amount of 1,000 yuan, Bao Liang sent the money to Fei Fei's residence. Although the huge debt of 1,000 yuan to Fei Fei is insignificant, Bao Liang still wants Fei Fei to see that he has put his promise into practice. He hopes that Fei Fei will be touched by this and reconsider his future life.

But Fei Fei's attitude made Baoliang very disappointed.

Fei Fei was first surprised that Bao Liang could do such a shameless thing, and then she scoffed at Bao Liang's intentions, and even if she was slightly moved in the moment of surprise, the emotion only lasted five or six minutes, and was soon replaced by the same contempt as usual. She said that I knew you didn't have any serious skills, and that you could do this kind of thing only to show that you are not pretending to be stupid, but really stupid.

But Bao Liang thinks that Fei Fei is often so different. He thought that as long as he persevered, Fei Fei would be able to change his mind sooner or later.

Later, Fei Fei told Li Chen and Liu Cunliang about this as a joke, and they also called to persuade Bao Liang successively. Li Chen said that even if Fei Fei is kind to you, you can't be a big man who practices yourself like this. And let me tell you, I have seen too many girls like Fei Fei, and any girl who has done a miss, even if she is forced to make a living at the beginning, it is absolutely unrealistic to make them go back and earn a meager salary later. People who are used to it will fight for a month for a few hundred yuan in salary, and you won't do it if you put it on. In the eyes of these girls, fate is like being raped, and if it is useless to resist, it is better to go along with this energy and enjoy it. Liu Cunliang's persuasion was more straightforward, he said: Baoliang, Fei Fei loves you very much, she used to do anything to get you, but this kind of passion is something that many young people will have, and it is not new. Passion comes and goes faster and faster, and from my observation of these young girls now, when money and love are wrestling, love is always helpless and falls into the water.

But Bao Liang thought that he should still hold on. Persistence will lead to a turnaround, and persistence will lead to a clear conscience. Even if there is no turnaround in the end, a clear conscience is required.

Bao Liang finally failed to persevere.

When begging at the entrance of the subway and shopping malls and in the subway cars was no longer possible, Bao Liang moved his position to the underground pedestrian passage. Here he sits on the floor, with his back to the wall, and places the cardboard with the words written on it and the cardboard box for collecting money on the ground, which does not affect the traffic of the city or cause pressure on passers-by. It's just that although this kind of begging method will make him feel at ease, it is like Jiang Taigong fishing, and he doesn't get much in a day.

On the third day of entering the underground pedestrian passage, several policemen came, and Bao Liang did not know if this was a regular action of the police to clean up the city, or if they came specifically at him. At that time, he was sitting on the ground with his head down, and the first thing he saw was a pair of leather shoes of the policeman, which stopped in front of his cardboard box and stood for a long time. He didn't expect that what he saw on his back was Xia Xuan, a policewoman in a police uniform.

Bao Liang longed for a crack in the ground to get into.

Xia Xuan didn't look at the sign, her eyes were staring at Baoliang.

In the underground passage, there are also a few beggars, and a few blind streams sleeping in the bunks, and the police are bombing them all and taking them away. Someone was greeting Xia Xuan, and Xia Xuan gave an order to Bao Liang:

"Put the money away and come with us."

Xia Xuan's tone was cold, but not majestic. Moreover, she did not confiscate the more than ten yuan already in the carton, but watched Bao Liang put the money into the satchel, and then led him to the exit of the passage and met with several policemen there.

The well-dressed Baoliang was taken to a nearby police station along with a group of disheveled beggars. Bao Liang saw that Xia Xuan and the police at the police station said something, and half an hour later, a police officer walked into the detention room where they were being held and called Bao Liang out alone.

In the courtyard of the police station, the police briefly criticized and educated Bao Liang, and warned Bao Liang that if he was found begging in a public place again, he would be dealt with in accordance with the relevant regulations of the public security administration. After the warning, the policeman said, "You can go," and turned around and walked back to the house.

The courtyard was empty, and it was a little unconventional for a moment. Bao Liang turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, and when he walked to the door, he heard someone calling him, and before he turned around, of course he had heard that it was Xia Xuan.

"Take this back."

Xia Xuan might as well have stood behind him, returned the piece of cardboard with the begging words written on it to Bao Liang, and said, "In the future, don't do this again." With that, he turned around and went into the house. The courtyard was quiet again, and Bao Liang opened the folded cards, and he saw two red tickets in it, which were brand new two hundred yuan. This is also the last alms that Bao Liang has received since he went to beg on the street, and the donor is Xia Xuan, who caught him here.
