On the last day, I went to school to collect my report card and summer homework, and finally officially started the summer vacation. It's also a relief for me, at least not to have to go to the classroom anymore. Summer vacations without a girlfriend are equally boring. I've changed back to the same dick silk and otaku state as before, except for the occasional ghost market with Master to set up stalls and do things, the rest of the time I either sleep at home or go to the fried ghost house to play games.

The former trio is often out of place now. Ou Dong likes to play billiards the most, because he doesn't have much money, but his billiards skills are not bad, so playing games with people in the billiards hall is to lose less and win more, and let others pay for it, which can be regarded as a free time. But lately, this kid has often been away from home, and he refuses to say anything when asked, as if he is more mysterious than me.

The fried ghost is a typical dead and thin house.,It's good to play the game.,Fighting.、Pickle girls or anything can't be done.。 He has a lot of game consoles at home, so I go to play with him when I'm fine. After half a month of vacation, I spent ten days in his house. There was nothing going on today, and I was playing live with the fried ghost in his room.

The control skills of the fried ghost are much better than mine, he uses the Chinese team cheaply, and I can choose other strong teams, but I am still eaten by him every time, and then I have been listening to him bragging there. In the last game, I played Spain, and the result was 0:5 again. I frustrated and threw the handle on the couch and said I wouldn't play with this anymore. The fried ghost said then let's take a break and play something else later. He went to the kitchen and got two cans of Coke, and each of them drank and chatted.

chatted and chatted about the east of the district. I complained a few words: "Did this kid go to be a spy recently or what?" I can't find anyone, and I can't call and say I'm not available. What does he have to keep busy? I don't see him helping his mother sell pork knuckle rice. ”

The fried ghost didn't take the conversation, and was a little unusually silent.

I asked him, "Do you know what Ou Dong has been up to lately?" ”

The fried ghost smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, don't ask, I don't want to say it." ”

"What are you two doing?" I jokingly punched the fried ghost, "Why are you hiding everything from me now?" It's all iron buddies, what else can't you say? ”

The fried ghost continued to be silent, playing with the Coke can in his hand. When I saw that something was wrong, I asked, "You two, have you been in trouble lately?" ”

"Nope! I'm fine with him! The fried ghost shook his head and denied, "I played billiards with him in the billiard hall yesterday." ”

"!" I thumped the fried ghost again, this time with force, "You two went to play billiards and didn't call me!" I'm bored at home by myself! ”

"I ...... Alas! The fried ghost patted his head in annoyance, obviously blaming himself for what he had just said.

Wrong! I suddenly had a bad feeling. There is no contradiction between the fried ghost and Ou Dong, nor with me, the two of them don't call me when they go to play billiards...... Does that mean that Ou Dong has a conflict with me?

So where is the contradiction? I strangled the fried ghost's shoulders and forced him to ask, "Say! Confess! ”

The fried ghost covered his face and said, "I won't say it!" I won't say anything if you kill me! ”

I said, "I won't hit you." I'll give your mom the magazine under your pillow in a moment, okay? ”

"You're so shameless!" The fried ghost wailed, "Iron buddies don't bring such a frame-up!" ”

"Iron buddy is still hiding something from me!" I glared at him and continued to exert pressure.

The fried ghost gave up resistance completely. He said to me, "Then I told you, you promised me not to be angry!" ”

"Okay! I promise! ”

"Wait." The fried ghost went over and put away the game console first, and put aside the things on the sofa and coffee table, which meant that it would prevent the fish from being harmed. I looked at him coldly, but the feeling in my heart became more and more bad.

The fried ghost sat back down, then looked at me seriously, and said bluntly: "Ou Dong is with Huang Lijun now!" ”

"What?" Despite my mental preparation, this sentence gave me a slap in the face!

"Hmm!" The fried ghost nodded vigorously and said, "When I went to the billiard hall that day, in addition to me and Ou Dong, there was also Huang Lijun." She was brought over by Ou Dong. ”

Suddenly, I felt very uncomfortable. Shock, disappointment, sadness and full of anger, this is a kind of naked betrayal!

I took a deep breath and tried to convince myself to calm down. The fried ghost nervously asked, "Do you want me to get you another can of Coke?" ”

I waved my hand to get him seated, and then asked in a deep voice, "When did they start?" ”

The fried ghost said: "It should be a few days after the holiday." When I was in school, Ou Dongdu was still hanging out with me. ”

"How do they ...... Okay? Saying the word "good" made me feel uncomfortable.

"I don't know, maybe it started with WeChat. I saw Ou Dong always chatting about WeChat a few days ago, and in the last few days, too, the frequency is obviously ridiculously higher than before! The fried ghost thought back for a moment and guessed.

"Did he borrow money from you?"

"I borrowed it twice, but it wasn't much, one or two hundred, and I paid it back yesterday."

"Where did he get the money?"

"He didn't have any money, so he dragged us to the billiards hall yesterday. He played eight rounds with people and won them all. The fried ghost also looked contemptuous when he said this, and said: "I bought three bottles of soda yesterday, and he didn't pay a penny!" ”

I didn't believe it, and said, "No money, how can he pick up girls?" ”

"I can't figure it out either," said the fried ghost, "so I secretly asked him yesterday." He said that the two of them would go out every night to look at people, the stars, the moon and so on. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile wryly. In order to chase Huang Lijun before, he tried to think about how to get money every day, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty. I never thought that picking up girls can also be done without spending money!

"You're not mad at me, are you?" The fried ghost asked cautiously.

"Nope."

"Then do you hate Ou Dong?"

I shook my head and sighed, "Why do you hate him?" Huang Lijun and I have broken up for a month, and it is his ability to catch up! Buddies are the same as brothers, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes, and you have to be generous! ”

The fried ghost gave me a thumbs up and praised, "Atmosphere! Dude obeys you! ”

I pretended not to care in front of the fried ghost, but in my heart I was still very unhappy! Although Huang Lijun has broken up with me, Ou Dong can't be so anxious! I don't think Ou Dong is kind to be a brother, and I didn't think about my feelings. Hum!

This sad summer vacation, it turns out that there is just no girlfriend, and now there are no iron buddies! My mindset, which had just calmed down, had become decadent again.

I am not the only one who is disappointed and anxious this summer, but also my parents.

Because of the last time I went to the Public Security Bureau, although my parents didn't blame my master, they usually chatted at home, and they still didn't want me to follow the master anymore. But they were embarrassed to mention this kind of thing to my master, after all, they were their son's lifesavers, and they agreed to let me be my master's apprentice. But then again, what parent wouldn't want their child to find a decent, decent job? They don't want me to do this after I have to do it after Master.

After dinner that day, I was about to go back upstairs and lie down and watch TV. My dad called out to me and told me to sit down. I asked what's wrong? He said, "There is something related to you, and the family should discuss it together." ”

I'm a little surprised, my dad has always been a "man of action", if I am asked to do what he wants, it would be fine, if it doesn't go well, he will kick it over, how can there be a time to discuss with me?

My mother also chimed in: "You're also older, you can take ideas yourself!" ”

"What's the idea?" I've been hearing a lot of bad news lately, and I'm a little scared.

My father said to me, "You said that we spent so much money to send you to study, look at the transcript you got back this semester, why don't you blush?" ”

I scratch my head, alas, red what? Isn't it just being scolded? He also said that I should take my own ideas, and the idea I want to take is that you are not allowed to scold me again in the future!

When my father saw that I was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, he was helpless. He took a sip of his wine glass, and then continued: "Your grades are so bad now, I don't think it's useful for you to continue studying in this senior year!" You don't want to go! ”

I was taken aback this time, what do you mean? Mom and Dad are going to give up on me completely? However, it doesn't matter if I go to this school or not, and maybe I won't save a lot of trouble if I don't go.

"You're about to turn eighteen, so if you don't go to school, go out to work!" Dad continued, "I helped you get a job at home, as a security guard in a textile factory, the work is very leisurely, not tired, and the salary is not bad!" Do you want to go? ”

"As a security guard?" I was even more surprised. "Back home?"

"Yes!" Dad nodded.

This proposal was so unexpected that I couldn't even think about it for a while! To go back to my hometown is to go back to my father's house in the neighboring county, where I was born, and now my household registration is still there. As I said before, Nanting County, where we live now, is actually my mother's hometown, and I only moved here for me. However, I haven't been back to my home for several years, and I don't know anyone there well.

"Your dad has always wanted you to go back." My mother also advised, "If you do a good job in your own family, you can settle down there in the future." Maybe we'll both move back in with you. ”

"Mom, you're doing a good job here, why do you want to move here?" I asked.

"Gee, the business of this brisket shop isn't much better! Besides, your father said that there are more factories in Changdong County than here, so if you go find a restaurant near the factory, maybe the business can be more prosperous. ”

"That's right, I know some people over there, and the way is wider than here." Dad said, "Since you have grown up peacefully and become an adult, it makes sense for us to move back in." After all, we can only be regarded as outsiders here, and when we go back, we will return to our roots! ”

I understood that it was not just a question of whether I would go to work alone, but more that my father wanted to go back. He has been here for so many years, and he has not had a good time, and it is only because of me that he has to stay, even if it is just to be a motorcycle driver.

"How much is a month's salary over there?" That's what I'm more concerned about.

“2500！ Plus insurance! ”

"So tall?" The average salary of our average wage earners here is about 2,000, not to mention insurance. I did the math, I am now following the master, and the income is less than 800 yuan a month in the ghost market and red envelopes.

Dad said, "That's why I asked if you wanted to go!" I was looking for a job by a cousin of my family, who was the deputy director of the textile factory. When you go, I can ask him to take care of something. ”

I thought about it again and quickly made a decision. That's fine, too! Anyway, I can't mix my feelings, studies, and career here now, and I'm at a low point in my life, so it's good to start over with a different environment! At least it's a decent salary, better than selling supper in the grave!

My parents were very happy to see that I agreed. Good things can't wait, so my father called his cousin that night and set up this errand. The phone was also urgent, asking me to report tomorrow, otherwise someone else would snatch the place if I was slow. Dad was busy promising me to give me a ride tomorrow afternoon.

Leaving tomorrow? I didn't expect this to be so urgent, and I just left. I always feel like I have a lot of things that I haven't packed yet, and I have to say goodbye to some people or something. But then think about it, what can a young bachelor have to pack? The people who need to say goodbye, except for the master, are fried ghosts.

The next morning, it only took me an hour to pack my luggage, and everything was packed together to fill a small 24-inch suitcase. My dad helped me buy a ticket for 12 o'clock at noon. It only takes 3 hours from Nanting County to Changdong County, and you can go there and report directly to the factory.

The little time left is only enough for me to go to Master's house and make a phone call from the fried ghost. I rode an electric car to Paiwei Village, where Master had nothing to do lately and was staying at home practicing calligraphy. There are also some talismans hanging next to it, most of which are used in the ghost market. It seems that the master finished drawing the talisman first, and practiced the characters by the way.

I told Master that I was going to work in a neighboring county. Master was also very surprised, and said why did he suddenly decide to go to work in other places? Aren't you going to school anymore? I explained it again, saying that the treatment there was quite good, and I was willing to go myself.

The master pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go!" Although I am your master, I still take the life of my parents as the greatest. You go over there and do a good job, and call when you have something. ”

I said, "Got it, Master! ”

My master asked me to wait a little longer, and went back to the house and took out a red envelope and a few talismans. He said to me, "This red envelope is for you, just a good omen." These talismans are phase gate talismans and evil talismans, so let's take them to protect your safety! ”

I took the red envelope and the talisman, thanked Master, and went home. After eating at noon, my father took me to the long-distance bus station on a motorcycle, and watched me catch a bus to Changdong County. I've been on this bus many times, but this is the first time I've traveled alone, and it's a life experience that marks the beginning of my life as I really started living independently.
