My father is gone, and there is no one at home.

Bao Liang knocked on the door for a long time, and the sound went from small to loud, only to find that there was no light in the courtyard room, and there was no movement through the door.

The father is not there.

Bao Liang walked out of the alley, the north wind was blowing on the street, and his chest and back were soaked with sweat. When he walked out of the alley, he suddenly felt relieved, and suddenly he didn't understand why he had come back.

Bao Liang walked into a small restaurant, put down his luggage, asked for a bowl of hot noodle soup, and calmed himself while eating. His gaze stopped on a payphone on the counter of the restaurant, and he paused for a long time to get up and walk over.

He dialed his father's cell phone.

The phone didn't even ring before it sounded, and of course it wasn't my father, but it seemed to tell my father.

"The number you dialed has expired."

Putting down the phone, Bao Liang did not leave, leaned on the counter and was stunned for a while, and then dialed the second phone number.

This is Zhang Nan's mobile phone.

Passed.

The phone kept ringing, ringing, but no one answered.

Bao Liang put down the phone and thought: Providence!

After eating the bowl of noodles and drinking the soup in the bowl, Bao Liang walked out of the restaurant. Counting the money on him, he stayed in a hotel on another street.

The inn is not large, but it is actually a temporary building made of wooden planks on the roof of a supermarket. Each bunk costs twenty, which is not expensive in a provincial capital where it is not cheap to buy anything. When Bao Liang lay down, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and he was cranky until midnight, and then slept until dawn.

During the day, Bao Liang left his luggage at the hotel, went to the street empty, and bought a copy of yesterday's evening newspaper on the street, hoping to find an opportunity in a job advertisement. He made several phone calls according to the unit listed in the advertisement, but the reply he received was not satisfactory, either it was full or he was asked to send his photo resume first, and none of them could let him go over and hire him immediately.

It was nearly noon, and Bao Liang became anxious, he had to take out his luggage from the hotel before twelve o'clock, or else he would have to pay for an extra day's bed. Passing by a car wash shed on the street, Baoliang was desperate, so he stopped and asked: Do you still need people here? It was an ugly man who looked like a foreman, and he replied in a rough voice: Yes! Bao Liang asked again: How much is a month? The man replied: Wash a car and withdraw five cents, and settle it every day. Bao Liang asked: Do you care about food and housing? The man replied: Tube! Bao Liang said: Oh, then I'll do it!

Bao Liang ran all the way back to the hotel, carried his luggage at almost twelve o'clock, and rushed to the car wash shed on the side of the street without even eating lunch. The foreman told him to leave his luggage in a bungalow behind the shed, and then told him to go to work.

You don't need any technical training to take this class, as long as you see someone else wash two cars, you can do it for a fool. However, although the work is simple, the people who do it are highly hierarchical. Bao Liang was new to the city, and when he didn't have a car, everyone else was resting in the shed, and he had to stand in the wind on the side of the road, waving a blackened towel at passing cars. The towel had to be half wet and half dry to be fast and round. The people who are most cared for by the foreman are responsible for cleaning the interior of the car, the second-class person is responsible for spraying wax on the body, and Baoliang, a newcomer who has just arrived, is responsible for cleaning the body with cold water mixed with detergent before waxing, and requires that the bubbles must be beaten, and then the bubbles are washed with water. Doing this work in winter was like torture, the water that had just been released from the water pipe was close to ice, and after washing the first car, Baoliang's hands were completely numb, and even half of his forearm was unconscious. When I was a child, the hand that picked up the towel was no longer my own, as if it was just a piece of wood driven by my shoulders and arms.

The first day I worked from the afternoon until dark, and after dinner, there was almost no one on the street. Bao Liang couldn't remember how many cars he had washed in the past ten hours, and when he finished work and went to bed at night, the foreman gave him seven yuan and five cents. At that time, the foreman did not have five cents in his hand, so he asked Baoliang to remember it himself, and promised to make up for him when the settlement was settled tomorrow.

The place to sleep at night is the bungalow where Baoliang puts his luggage, a room of more than ten square meters sleeps more than a dozen people, there is no stove heating, and it all relies on crowding to generate some heat. A few car washers saw that there were some books wrapped in the futon that Bao Liang had opened, and saw that they were all useless college entrance examination textbooks, so they went to sleep with a few sarcastic words. A young man from Shandong who came yesterday had no cover and asked to share Baoliang's bedding. Seeing that the man was dirty and unkempt, Bao Liang hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.

The man was not only dirty, but also had smelly feet, so stinky that Bao Liang couldn't help but feel nauseous and nauseous. It was only strange that there was sweet snoring all around, and it was clear that no one but him cared about the turbidity of the air.

In three days, Bao Liang earned forty-one yuan, but his hands were all frostbitten from the lower arms down, and they looked rough and cracked, red and swollen and deformed.

The foreman gave him a little frostbite cream, wrapped in a piece of cardboard, and asked him to wipe it every day. But it was ten days after the injury on his hand was really relieved, and the greenhouse recruited two newcomers from Sichuan, and the errand of standing on the side of the street to pick up towels and make bubbles for the car was given to them in order. Bao Liang's status was promoted from low to medium, and he changed to polish and wax the car, and no longer be with cold water all the time, which became the greatest happiness Bao Liang enjoyed at this time, and the sores that spread on his hands were able to stabilize in the original range.

The food in the greenhouse is very poor, and every meal every day is boiled and cooked. The profit of the car washing industry is very low, and the boss is reluctant to buy a boxed lunch for three yuan. Twenty days later, Bao Liang saw himself in the mirror of a Jetta and thought that the face belonged to someone else. His face was white when he first arrived, and he did stand out from the crowd when he made a stop on the side of the street with the car washers. Now he was almost exactly like them, his skin rough and dark from the wind, and his hair as messy as grass. Bao Liang believes that if he meets Zhang Nan or Fei Fei on the street, no one will dare to recognize his appearance.

On the night when he saw himself in the mirror, Bao Liang had a high fever, and the pain in his body was fierce, he begged a few workers to send him to the hospital, hung a fever needle and took some medicine, and basically spent the wages of the more than 20 days before he was carried back by the workers.

Bao Liang lay in the bungalow behind the greenhouse for two nights and a day, his body temperature seemed to drop slightly, and the pain in his body was still unbearable. Three times a day, Xiao Shandong came to feed him, but in fact, he couldn't swallow any food. On the morning of the third day, Xiao Shandong saw that his eyes were collapsed, and hurriedly went to the foreman to take a look. The foreman was afraid that he would die here, so he asked him for the telephone addresses of relatives and friends, and Bao Liang thought of his father and sister in a daze, and also thought of Li Chen and Liu Cunliang, and of course, he also thought of Zhang Nan...... But the phone number that came out of his mouth was not one of them.

The foreman took notes and asked, "What kind of phone is this?" ”

Bao Liang was weak: "This is ...... A small restaurant. ”

"Who's looking for?"

"Find a ...... It's called Tao Feifei. ”

"Who is she?"

"She's ...... She was...... My sister. ”

"Can she come to her?"

“…… I can come. ”

Tao Feifei really came.

As soon as he saw Bao Liang Fei Fei, he shed tears, and Bao Liang didn't know what kind of virtue he had become, which could make Fei Fei cry all of a sudden. Fei Fei flagged down a taxi on the side of the street and took Bao Liang to her uncle's snack bar. Lying in the hut behind the snack bar, Bao Liang could hear Fei Fei and her uncle-in-law arguing outside, and her brother-in-law forced Fei Fei Bao Liang to ask what kind of illness Fei Fei Bao Liang had, and scolded her that she should not bring such a critically ill patient to the restaurant: this is not a hospital, in case it is infected to others, in case the guests know, this little shop is not all over. Fei Fei insisted that Bao Liang had helped her in the past, she couldn't die now, how much money I used you now, I will definitely pay you back in the future, I promise you that it won't work! My uncle-in-law said how much money you used me, how much money did your mother use me, can you still figure it out, you keep saying that you will pay it back, when will you pay it back?

Bao Liang wanted to get up from the bed and wanted to leave. But his limbs were so weak that he didn't have any strength, and there seemed to be only one thing moving in his whole body, and that was the tears rolling down his forehead to both sides.

That night, Bao Liang had a strange dream, he dreamed that he was constantly washing the car, and he kept making bubbles for all kinds of cars with long queues. His hands and feet were soaked in cold water, and every finger and toe hurt so much that he couldn't help but feel the pain in his dreams. He wanted to surrender to the pain, but he didn't know where to retreat, and when he was tossing and turning, the fire-breathing girl came unexpectedly again, still smiling, still powerful, with a wave of his left hand to change the clouds and the sun, and with a wave of his right hand, he scattered the beans into a soldier, and dispersed the cars that were crowded and waiting to be washed in an instant. The flames that erupted from her mouth warmly enveloped Hora's frozen body. Bao Liang opened his limbs and chest, eager to be swallowed up by the red fire. He saw tongues of fire licking his feet, making them comfortable. The tongue of fire suddenly became his sister's hands again, and those hands gently rubbed the soles of his feet, and his whole body softened, and his breathing was smooth and his face was smiling. He woke up with a smile and found that the fire was nothing more than an orange-yellow halo overhead. He lay on his back on Fei Fei's narrow wooden bed, covered with a half-worn quilt, not thick, but covered with Fei Fei's down jacket and short coat and a few cotton jackets and pants, which were heavy but warm. He felt that he was not as good as when he was already full **, and his skin had been relaxed by the fire in his dream. He noticed that one of his feet was being held in Fei Fei's arms, and Fei Fei's overly pink face was also being seen by the dim light. "Did I hurt you?" Fei Fei asked him. Bao Liang didn't know what to answer, and it took him a long time to realize that Fei Fei was trimming the toenails on his feet.

"How long has it been since your toenails were cut? It's almost old-fashioned. Fei Fei cut one foot and replaced it with another, and she said as she cut it, "I washed your feet with hot water for a long time before I washed them." Your feet stink so much that they almost smoke me to death. I remember your feet never smelled in the past, haven't you changed your socks in a month? ”

Bao Liang closed his eyes, how he had lived for more than a month, he couldn't even remember himself. But he knew full well that he had left the car-washing shed, and that he was also coming out of his illness. He didn't know when he would be able to get back on his feet, but he knew that at least he wouldn't die, and that death had gone far and left him on earth.

It was on this bed, in Fei Fei's quilt, that Bao Liang lay for four whole days. Four days later, Fifi placed a mirror next to his pillow and asked him to look at the face with his cheeks collapsed in the mirror. He heard a hoarse voice from his face in the mirror: How did I become like this? Fei Fei said: It's much better now, you didn't look at your virtue a few days ago, you don't need makeup to pretend to be a dead corpse!

Before Bao Liang was able to go to the ground, two policemen came to the snack bar. When Fei Fei took them into the backyard hut, she was still wondering how these two policemen who claimed to know Baoliang had found this place.

These two policemen Bao Liang do know each other, one is Inspector Jin of the Guling Branch who handled the three-shot murder case of Quan, and the other is Xia Xuan, an alumnus of Bao Liang.

I don't know if it was because the hut was too dark or because Bao Liang was out of shape, they entered the house and took the quilt for a long time before concluding that the boy lying on the bed was the witness they were looking for.

Xia Xuan's appearance, in this small and shabby room, in front of this bed that exudes a sour smell, is an embarrassing situation at the moment when Baoliang's god form is withered. Bao Liang couldn't explain why his self-esteem was so devastating when he saw this classmate of his.

Inspector Jin and Xia Xuan's visit was still to investigate the case.

It was still Inspector Jin who asked, and Xia Xuan recorded that she first cared about Baoliang's body, and then quickly intervened in the topic. This time, the focus of their questioning was on the Boss Ma - how did Bao Liang know that Boss Ma and Quan Hu knew each other, and how did Bao Liang find him; In a few rounds of contact with Boss Ma, they all said and talked about each other; Around Boss Ma, the characters who sang and sauna with him probably looked like; Where does Boss Ma often go, etc., and he is tired of asking in detail. During the inquiry, Baoliang could hear that they had already done research and visited the nightclubs and saunas that Boss Ma frequented, and learned that Boss Ma had not appeared in those places for about half a year, so it was difficult to carry out the investigation. Boss Ma's office in the provincial capital has also been closed, and there is no clue to be found. The Public Security Bureau also found the female staff of the office that Bao Liang had met, but did not get any useful information, and she was also dismissed by Boss Ma and changed to another job. Boss Ma's lover in the provincial capital also died, and the ex-lover broke up very early, and there was no actual value of the investigation. Boss Ma seems to have passed without a trace in this city, like the air evaporating in the atmosphere, completely disappearing.

Looking for Boss Ma is to find Quan Hu, and looking for Quan Hu is to find Quan Sangun, since the public security can't find any clues about Boss Ma and Quan Hu, the work of finding Quan Sangun seems to be clueless.

Inspector Kim also asked again about some of the circumstances at the time of the crime. This time they focused on the rifle that Kwon San Gun used. They gave several pictures of the gun to Bao Liang for identification, and asked Bao Liang to testify which model was the murderer. The guns in the picture look the same, albeit at different angles, and are all different modifications of a small rifle, with slight differences in appearance and the exact same bullets. Although Baoliang's serious illness hit his body hard, it didn't hurt his brain, and he could still completely recall the moment when Kwon San Gun raised the muzzle of the gun at him, and every detail of that moment was as fresh as new - the shape, length, and color of the gun were all as clear as yesterday. His decisiveness in identifying the picture surprised Inspector Jin a little, and he was uneasy to think about it again from different aspects and various possible illusions, but Baoliang was very sure that it was this one, the body of the gun was very short, and the color of ** was the same as it, bright and abnormal.

Inspector Jin and Xia Xuan glanced at each other, then handed the photo to Xia Xuan, and Xia Xuan immediately put it in her purse. Then they told Baoliang to take care of his body, and then left the hut, and went outside to talk to Fei Fei, who was cooking porridge for Baoliang. Fei Fei had participated in the operation of "intimidating" Boss Ma, and had continued to monitor and track Boss Ma for a long time before that.

Porridge is the most nourishing.

A few bowls of thick white rice porridge, a plate of pickles, a plate of meat floss, and a plate of soy tofu every day, Baoliang's face actually reappeared bloody, and the collapsed muscles and blood vessels gradually swelled. When the rice porridge moistened Bao Liang's internal organs, Fei Fei began to cook a soup every day and let Bao Liang drink it in a big gulp. The soup consists of chai chicken and meat bones, as well as mushrooms and vegetables. Fei Fei is like a hard-working mother, and she even uses a basin to catch Baoliang's daily feces and urine. Bao Liang slept every night and during the day, and he didn't know where Fei Fei should sleep when he occupied Fei Fei's bed.

By noon on the fourth day, when Li Chen and Liu Cunliang came to visit Bao Liang together, Bao Liang was already able to sit up from the bed. He was even able to go to the floor, to go to the toilet by himself, and to sit at a small table in the shop with his two brothers and talk for a long time.

While they were talking, Fei Fei was sleeping in Bao Liang's bed.

Liu Cunliang told Bao Liang that a few days ago, a woman went to the night market to inquire about Bao Liang from clothing store to store, and kept asking about his store. Liu Cunliang handed Bao Liang a phone number, saying that it was a phone number left by this woman, and asked Liu Cunliang to give it to him when he saw Bao Liang.

Bao Liang's heartbeat was a little faster: he answered the call, and when he saw it, it was Zhang Nan's mobile phone number.

Bao Liang asked, "What else did she say?" ”

Liu Cunliang said: "She asked where you are now, and I said maybe go home." She asked me where your house was, but I didn't dare to tell her, because I was afraid that she would be reckless and go to your father. ”

Bao Liang looked at the phone number that he was already familiar with, and bowed his head and said nothing. Liu Cunliang said: "She is the woman, I think it's pretty good, the quirky coat she wears, I think it's real." Baoliang: You said how good it is that you have such a girlfriend, why do you still have to hold Feifei? ”

Li Chen said with a smile: "It's Fei Fei who is holding Bao Liang, you see how good Fei Fei is to Bao Liang, and she boils porridge and soup." This is the ability of Baoliang, if your parents make you like Baoliang, Fei Fei will not become the proprietress of Liangliang clothing store sooner. ”

Bao Liang glanced at Liu Cunliang and said, "If you like Fei Fei, take Fei Fei away, I don't want anyone to hold it." ”

Li Chen smiled again and said to Bao Liang: "Fei Fei is making her debut now, even if she is still willing to follow Cun Liang, Cun Liang is not necessarily rare for her." ”

Bao Liang turned his face to stare at Li Chen, he didn't understand what Li Chen meant. But Liu Cunliang's wry smile and sigh are equivalent to making a note for Li Chen's words.

"Ahem, I'm not as clean as Baoliang and ask for women. The main reason is that Fei Fei doesn't look down on me, how much my shop only earns a day, and what I earn in ten days is not worth her tip for a stage. ”

Bao Liang vaguely understood, but he still had to ask: "Fei Fei...... What's the stage? ”

Liu Cunliang said: "Fei Fei went to work with Li Chen again. In the past, she only sat on the stage and did not come out, but this time she sat and came out, and if she wanted to make money, she still had to come out. ”

Bao Liang's face, which had just been a little ruddy, suddenly turned pale again. Li Chen Zhengse said: "Fei Fei didn't call me this time, and she came out for you." You're treating and recuperating these days, and she doesn't get the money! ”

From that day on, Bao Liang's mood suddenly became irritable, and the joy of his recovery and the ease that had been getting worse day by day were suddenly gone. Fei Fei stewed chicken and duck for him as usual every day, but he couldn't drink the deliciousness of chicken soup and duck soup, and no matter what he ate in his mouth, it seemed to have a fishy smell that was not clean.

Bao Liang now knows what is going on when Fei Fei goes out every night with grease and powder, and can find a place to live every night. Perhaps, she has stayed in those small hotels and five-star hotels in the provincial capital; She has also lived in ordinary residential buildings and large villas like Fontainebleau. Bao Liang sat on Fei Fei's small bed made of wooden planks, his feet hanging under the bed were still weak, but his waist was already straight, he could sit up after all, and silently watched Fei Fei use a cheap lipstick to thicken her lips layer by layer. His chest, like his feet, was powerless to make a sound of disapproval, or even a repulsive question. He clearly knew that the soup he drank every day, the medicine he took, and the clothes he wore on his body were all changed by this bright red color.

He knew that he was not qualified to call Zhang Nan again, although he knew that Zhang Nan was still looking for him, and he also knew that he was so eager to see her, but as soon as he saw Fei Fei start to draw eyes and hook lips on her face every dusk, desperately smearing, and when he saw Fei Fei's little face that became more and more sallow when she didn't wear makeup, he couldn't bear to turn around and throw herself at another woman.

On this day, it was dusk with heavy makeup, Fei Fei came in from outside the door, leaned on the door frame of the hut, looked at Bao Liang with strange eyes, and said something like this in a strange way after a while:

"They're here again."

She let go of her body, and Bao Liang saw that there was a girl standing outside the door, her face and body were all clean, and he recognized it for a long time before he recognized it as Xia Xuan. Xia Xuan, who doesn't wear a police uniform, still looks like a college student, or like a prematurely mature girl next door.

The man who came with Xia Xuan this time was not the inspector of the sub-bureau, but a Chinese medicine doctor who was over half a hundred years old.

Under the silent gaze of Xia Xuan and Fei Fei, the Chinese medicine doctor checked Bao Liang's pulse, listened to Bao Liang's chest and abdomen with a stethoscope, and then prescribed a prescription to Xia Xuan, saying: The sooner you take it, the better, you go buy it and I'll tell you how to fry it. Xia Xuan said: The pharmacy hasn't closed yet, so I'll buy it. But before Xia Xuan could get up, Fei Fei snatched the square.

Fei Fei said, "No, I'll go!" It's not like we're out of money! ”

Fei Fei went to buy medicine, and the old Chinese medicine doctor was invited by Fei Fei's uncle-in-law to drink tea in the shop in front of him, and also asked the Chinese medicine doctor to call for him. Xia Xuan stayed in the house and was speechless with Baoliang. Bao Liang wanted to say a word of thanks, he really didn't expect Xia Xuan to ask a doctor to see him here, he opened his mouth a few times and didn't think of a good wording, but the topic was taken by Xia Xuan.

"Didn't you ever go home?"

Bao Liang shook his head: "No." ”

"Still hate your dad?"

"No, it's my dad who still holds a grudge against me. He loves Aunt Yang very much, he loves Dudu very much, they are very good to him, they are all he has in life, so he can't forgive me. I brought the gun home, so my dad hated me to death. ”

Xia Xuan was silent for a while, and said, "When the leaders of our bureau were talking to your father, I was there. Your dad hates you because you didn't fulfill his hopes for you, and he hates iron for not making steel. Although he said that he was desperate and said that he didn't have your son anymore, the angry words he said in that mood were not true. When I was studying at the Public Security College, my classmates respected your father very much, and they all knew that he was a first-class public security hero, and he was truly loyal to his duties and the country, you should be proud of your father, and you should go home. It's not a good idea for you to be out there like this. ”

Bao Liang bowed his head and said nothing.

The room was too small, he could feel Xia Xuan's breath, very sincere and enthusiastic, but for some reason, he felt that he was very cowardly and very small in front of her.

"Your father was stimulated by this time, and his body collapsed, and the Provincial Public Security Department arranged for him to go to other places to recuperate, and when he came back, you should take the initiative to see him. If you have anything you want to bring to him now, I can also go back and report it, and I can pass it on to him through the Provincial Public Security Department. ”

The room fell silent again, and Xia Xuan seemed to be waiting for him to answer. Sweat broke out on Bao Liang's head, he didn't want to brush off Xia Xuan's kindness, he didn't want to make this fire-breathing girl in his dream feel bored and disappointed, but he couldn't tell his true feelings honestly and frankly.

"You let them tell my dad that I'm sorry for him and that I'm not worthy to be his son. He only remembered the son from before, the son before he went to college, the son before he moved to the provincial capital, and that son still made him hopeful, and he will still remember it. I'll remember him too, because no matter what, whether he recognizes me or not, he's my dad too. He gave birth to me, raised me, and treated me well, and I will always keep him in my heart. When I get better, I will go to my sister, maybe she won't recognize me anymore, but I must go to her, my mother told me before she died. If I find her, I'll go tell my dad. Whether they want to recognize each other or not, they should know that we are a family...... Except for my dead mother, where is it now, how are they alive, we used to ...... After all, it's a family......"

Bao Liang's voice choked, he didn't dare to raise his head so that Xia Xuan could see the tears in his eyes, he just wanted to end this conversation as quickly as possible.

"We used to ...... It's a family...... I love them. ”

Perhaps, Xia Xuan also has tears in her eyes, everyone has their own relatives and their own families. Xia Xuan's breathing was a little sad because of this, and she obviously deliberately bypassed the topic.

"Are you having trouble living without a job right now? Let's be classmates, if you have difficulties, I can help you. If I can't help, I can report to the organization, you're a ...... after all."

"Thank you." Bao Liang still didn't look up, but he decisively interrupted her kindness, "I'm okay now, when I get better, I can support myself." ”

Xia Xuan nodded, her eyes fell on Fei Fei's photo on the wall: "Is she your girlfriend?" Xia Xuan's tone was casual, or rather, kind, but she might never understand why the tears that Bao Liang had been trying to hold back suddenly fell on her knees as if they had taken off the thread.

“…… Be. ”

A month later, Bao Liang and Fei Fei moved out of the back room of the snack bar and into a private house rented by Fei Fei.

After settling in, Bao Liang began to go out looking for work.

Spring has arrived, and the weather is getting warmer day by day. Bao Liang's body has completely recovered, only the hands covered with frostbite have not faded, and the scars have not disappeared, and they are still ugly. Of course, Bao Liang wouldn't go to the car washing job for ten yuan a day and three meals of boiling, but what could he do? He doesn't have a college diploma, he doesn't have a skill, and in the era of talent shortage, he is not a talent, he is just a laborer. In the era of talent shortage, there is a great surplus of labor. If you do a labor that pays 500 yuan a month, you can pick it in the market, and if you don't do it, there are still a lot of people waiting behind you, so the price can't be bullish.

Fei Fei is the same as Zhang Nan on this point, she said: "Baoliang, you should go to college, I can provide for you, and when my mother finishes this treatment, I can provide you with a school." ”

Bao Liang said: "Fei Fei, I can not go to college, I can only be a laborer for the rest of my life, but I want you to promise me one thing, I really regard you as my sister, so I hope you can agree." ”

Fei Fei said: "Okay, I promise, I can agree to whatever you ask me to do." ”

Bao Liang said: "Find a serious job and earn money innocently." ”

Fei Fei said: "Is it for me to be like you, who can't even find a job for 500 yuan a month?" Where do we live if we don't have money, you can treat my mother's illness if you don't have money! ”

Fei Fei's mother's asthma has been alleviated, but there is a new disease, and the hospital confirmed that the main reason for Fei Fei's mother's difficulty walking for many years is that she has bone spurs in her knees, and she needs to be surgically implanted with an artificial knee, and the operation fee needs more than 40,000 yuan.

More than 40,000 yuan, Bao Liang doesn't know how profitable the "Miss" line is, and whether it is easy to earn 40,000 yuan in a year, or how easy it is to say.

Bao Liang and Fei Fei live together, but they don't share the same bed. Fei Fei ridiculed and abused Bao Liang for this matter, and drove Bao Liang out once, but Bao Liang resolutely stopped doing that kind of thing with Fei Fei that kind of men and women.

Bao Liang is not with Fei Fei, first, he still thinks about Zhang Nan in his heart, whether he admits it or not, deep in his heart, there is still a yearning for his love; The second is that although he is grateful to Fei Fei, he actually doesn't look down on Fei Fei, especially after Fei Fei became the "Miss" of the introduction. Although his food, clothing, housing and transportation are all spent on Fei Fei's body money, from having mental disorders to becoming natural habits, to becoming more and more natural, he doesn't want to spend so much. But after spending all this "dirty money", seeing Fei Fei go out every night, return in the middle of the night, and even return home the next morning, he still has a disgust for Fei Fei's body, not to mention that he has no interest in skin kissing, sometimes Fei Fei hugs him, he will have goosebumps.

Fei Fei can't do anything about Baoliang, she scolds and scolds, and she loses and loses, which can be described as hatred and love. I wanted to break up with him several times, but after the quarrel, I still couldn't bear him.

Baoliang didn't leave Fei Fei, not reluctantly, but unbearable, Fei Fei was kind to him after all. What's more, his later job was also found by Fei Fei, and he worked as a receptionist in a big hotel. Bao Liang has a good image and a certain foreign language foundation, Fei Fei knew a shareholder of that hotel, so she asked him to introduce Bao Liang to it. This job Bao Liang likes very much, the working environment is good, the salary is also high, every day to receive guests from all over the world, the nature of the work is between the blue collar and white-collar workers, the popular saying in the provincial capital is called "gray collar", and Bao Liang used to see the porcelain shop and car wash family errands, there should be a world of difference. Although Bao Liang knew that the shareholder who introduced him must also be a "customer" of Fei Fei.

After his job stabilized, Bao Liang proposed to Fei Fei that he wanted to move to the staff dormitory of the hotel. He felt that his relationship with Fei Fei could not go on like this. Since he doesn't love Fei Fei, he shouldn't have been spent together like this, and in fact, Fei Fei's youth has been consumed. Although their current relationship is only a sexless cohabitation, it will not benefit either party in the long run.

Unlike Baoliang's expectations, Fei Fei did not make a big fuss when Baoliang proposed to move out, and did not accuse Baoliang of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge. Fei Fei is fully qualified to scold like this, she can completely reprimand Bao Liang for being ungrateful, wiping her mouth after eating and drinking, and leaving after fattening and turning her face...... But Fei Fei didn't say any of these words. She just shed a few tears without saying a word, and the freshly applied makeup on her face was stained again. After she went to the toilet to wash her face and re-make up her makeup, Chong Baoliang smiled faintly and asked in a dumb voice: When will you move? Another question: Can you sleep well in a dormitory?

Fei Fei's attitude made Bao Liang's heart feel like a thousand pounds, and he swore to Fei Fei: I will give you half of the money I earn every month in the future, as long as it is enough for my life, and the rest will be handed over to you, and you will take it to your mother for treatment. If one day you can find a serious job, I will definitely let you have more money to spend, even if you lose your job, I will do my best to support you!

Fei Fei smiled, not taking it seriously. She said I thank you Lu Baoliang, I have already seen it, it is good that you can support yourself, you are so old who have you fed, I will be hungry for a long time if I rely on you to feed you. I'm still on my own, don't look at you as upright, but when it comes to making money, among the three of you brothers, you are useless!

Bao Liang moved out of Fei Fei's residence and lived in the staff dormitory of the hotel. This dormitory is used for shift work, so there is no fixed bed to sleep in each night. A master in the dormitory saw that Bao Liangren was not bad, so he found a small cabinet in the storage room for him to store his clothes in, so that he didn't have to carry it by hand everywhere every day.

Living independently has given Bao Liang a little confidence in the future and space to sort out his chaotic mind. He finally mustered up the courage at dusk after work and dialed Zhang Nan's mobile phone from the phone in the shift dormitory.

The mobile phone was connected, and he soon heard Zhang Nan's voice. His own voice suddenly floated violently, almost out of nowhere, and he said Zhang Nan, how are you now? I'm Bao Liang.

Zhang Nan didn't speak immediately on the phone, Bao Liang couldn't guess whether this moment of delay was due to surprise or hesitation, and he heard Zhang Nan's question: Bao Liang...... Are you Bao Liang?

Bao Liang said: I want to see you.

They still made an appointment in the square in front of the park.

The square at dusk is full of sunsets. When Bao Liang arrived, there was only one car parked in the square, and it was the silver "Audi" that Bao Liang always had in his mind. Zhang Nan stood in front of the car, wearing a silver-gray windbreaker, and the breeze that had just had some spring breeze blew the two sides of the windbreaker, and it looked like flying in the air from a distance.

Zhang Nan hugged Baoliang, and they did not have a word of confession and greetings for reunion, only a soft whisper from the wind blowing their hair.

Zhang Nan said: "I want to see you too." ”

It was still in the restaurant they used to come to, in the quietest corner of the restaurant, they ordered a pot of tea, they were not in a hurry to order food, and their gaze did not hide their deep love, which had been artificially suppressed for a long time.

Zhang Nan noticed Bao Liang's hand on the teacup, and she was surprised by the marks of chilblains on that hand. Bao Liang avoided those confidings that were not usually omitted, and he only told Zhang Nan that he was now proud.

"I got a good job, I was a receptionist at the front desk of the Dongfu Hotel, and the salary was quite good. Maybe I'll have to be transferred to the Executive Club in the near future. ”

Zhang Nan's reaction made Bao Liang glad that he was happy that he reported good news and not bad news, and she used a smile of relief that she had never had before, encouraging Bao Liang to comfort herself, she said: "That's good, I don't like you to be embarrassed all day long, I hope you have your own career and an income that can guarantee your life, so that the mentality of both of us will be better." Both my parents and my cousin have said that a person who has not even solved the problem of survival cannot be interested in falling in love with someone else. ”

Bao Liang didn't know how to answer, he didn't know whether to nod yes or shake his head and say that it wasn't necessarily. When he hesitated, Zhang Nan had already raised the teacup and congratulated him from the bottom of his heart.

"Congratulations on finding such a great job, and I wish you the best of luck always."

Bao Liang also raised the teacup, and Zhang Nan also replaced the wine with tea: "I also wish you good luck and hope that we will always trust each other." ”

Zhang Nan took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "Okay, but it's up to you." ”
