When I walked out of the gate of the Takeoff game, it was almost lunchtime.

I remember my mother's favorite food of roast duck, so I found a place to buy half a roast duck and carry it in my hand.

When I returned downstairs to the community, I ran into my neighbor Aunt Liu again.

I greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Liu, have you eaten?" ”

As soon as Aunt Liu saw me, the smile on her face was gone, replaced by a face full of anger.

"Yang Hai, you conscienceless thing, are you taking your mother's money?"

I was embarrassed by her.

My mother gave me a thousand dollars the other day, and I was poor at the time, and I really needed it, so I took it.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu knew about it.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Aunt Liu knew that she was right, and she then scolded: "You wolf-hearted thing, your mother has worked hard to pick up bottles outside for several years, and she has saved so much money in total, and she has fed you white-eyed wolf!" ”

Aunt Liu's voice was not small, and as soon as she shouted like this, all the elderly downstairs in the community were attracted by her to come over to see the excitement.

I had no choice but to say: "Aunt Liu, I was wrong before, but don't worry, I have found a job now, and I won't let my mother suffer in the future!" ”

Aunt Liu didn't seem to hear my apology, and continued to vent her dissatisfaction with me: "Do you know that last time you took the money, your mother had no money, so she could only drink white porridge at a moment's notice?" ”

"Your mother's health is already poor, so you can bear it?"

Mother only drinks white porridge for a while? My heart jumped, and Aunt Liu's words pierced my skin like sharp steel needles.

The old people around me also pointed fingers at me, and no matter how much I explained to them, no one believed me.

I was so embarrassed that I ran home.

When I knocked on the door, my mother's eyes lit up when she saw me returning, and she happily welcomed me in.

I walked into the house and saw a bowl of white porridge lying alone on the table on the humble dining table.

It turned out that what Aunt Liu said was true, and I was sad again.

I turned around and wiped away my tears, and then hurriedly took out the roast duck I bought and put it on the table: "Mom, I bought your favorite roast duck!" ”

When the mother saw the roast duck, her eyes were filled with tears: "You child, now is the time for you to use money, how can you spend money indiscriminately!" ”

"Mom, I just want to tell you when I come back this time, I have found a new job, and my salary is 5,000 yuan a month, and I will support you in the future!" Again, I couldn't hold back my tears.

"That's good, that's good......" the mother kept repeating, seeming very relieved.

"Spit out!" At this time, my stomach protested very inappropriately, which embarrassed me.

The mother burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Xiaohai, you haven't eaten either, have you?" Come, let's eat first! ”

At the dinner table, my mother kept putting meat in my bowl, and I refused, but my stomach was really angry.

Half of the roast duck was said to be bought for my mother, but in the end, most of the meat went into my stomach.

Mother smiled contentedly.

After eating, I said to my mother, "Mom, don't pick up bottles in the future, I have a salary now, and I will provide for you in the future." ”

"Xiaohai, you just work now, you need money in many places, you don't have to worry about me, I can take care of myself." Mother said, "It doesn't seem like she wants to hold me back."

"Besides, you should save some money and buy a house when the time comes."

"Xiaowen has been with you for so many years, can you bear to let her live in a rented house with you all the time?"

At the mention of Zhang Wen, my heart was a little flustered for no reason.

After much hesitation, I finally decided to confess to my mother.

"Mom, in fact, when I came back this time, I have one more thing to tell you, I ...... Divorced. ”

Hearing my words, my mother stopped breathing and stared at me.

After a long time, she sighed and said, "Xiaowen is a good girl, in the past few years of your illness, she has been making money to help you pay off your debts, but unfortunately, our old Yang family is not blessed." ”

I was silent, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that I didn't speak, my mother said again: "Aunt Liu next door has a niece who has just left, and she has a child, or I will ask her to draw a string for you?" ”

I was stunned, and my mother continued: "It's good to have left, I know that I feel sorry for people." ”

I couldn't laugh or cry, what a thing.

I just got divorced, how can I still think about these things now? And the love in my heart has always been Zhang Wen, and I can't tolerate others at all.

What's more, Aunt Liu next door has such a big opinion of me now, I haven't been beaten up by her, how can I dare to pluck her niece?

I had no choice but to say: "Mom, I only have Zhang Wen in my heart, I just want to work hard now and chase Zhang Wen back when the time comes." ”

It was my mother's turn to be silent for a while, and she said, "It's okay." ”

My mother and I hadn't seen each other for a few days, and we chatted for a while.

We talked until about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and then I decided to go out.

I went to a nearby science and technology city and found a second-hand pen tablet.

I'm heartbroken to spend dozens of oceans out, but it's a necessary investment.

Then, I went to the Internet café I was there last time I visited.

Turning on my computer, I proficiently logged into a website called "Painter".

This site is a trading platform for artists and those in need.

To put it simply, in this platform, customers pay to hire artists to help them paint.

Most of the artists on this platform are not well-known, and their level is not high, and they earn some hard-earned money.

When I was in college, I used to take jobs on this platform in exchange for some living expenses.

It's just that I didn't expect that after several years, this platform has not collapsed, and my account still exists.

After browsing for a while, I saw a task, an extremely simple original painting for 10 yuan.

That's pretty good.

I took it and started drawing.

"Uncle, what a coincidence, I met you again!" A voice came from the side.

I was indulging in my creation, and I was suddenly interrupted, and when I turned my head, it turned out to be the cute girl from high school I met last time.

I replied perfunctorily with a "coincidence" as a greeting, and then continued to draw my original drawing.

After all, the Internet café costs 2 yuan an hour, and I don't want to waste a penny.

"Ah, this is the task of the painter, it seems that I guessed correctly last time, the uncle is really short of money, right?" Meng Mei said.

I looked sideways slightly: "You also know the painter?" ”

The cute girl cocked the corners of her mouth arrogantly: "I know, I'm also an art student." ”

"I really can't see it." I spat out a sentence and then ignored her.

This cute girl didn't get angry, so she watched silently for a while before she said, "Uncle, if you're really short of money, I'll introduce you to a job, right?" A little more paid than you as a painter. ”

"I'm not a bodyguard." I didn't look back.

"No kidding, this time it's not for you to be a bodyguard, it's for painting." Meng Mei said.

"Oh?" I looked back at the cute girl's eyes and saw that her expression was very serious, not like she was lying.

"Actually, last time you drew a picture for me, my friends said it was so good, they wanted a picture like this." Meng Meizi introduced.

I'm a little speechless, what do you mean by drawing a picture for you, you obviously added it later, okay?

But I didn't say it.,This cute girl might really be able to help me introduce some work.,It's not good to offend her for no reason.。

"And then?" I gave it a slap.

"Why don't I tell them that I found a painter to help me paint, five hundred yuan a piece, and then we split the account fifty-fifty, right?" The girl said excitedly.

Boy! I really don't know if I'm smart or stupid.

Say she's smart, she wants five hundred dollars and five or a half with me; Let's call her stupid, she is very business-minded, and she knows how to extract intermediary fees.

It's the money of the little sisters, which is a bit unauthentic.

I feel a little uncomfortable, after all, 500 yuan is still a little more expensive for a painting.

And this cute girl doesn't know if she is an adult, and her friends are probably similar to her.

It's like a 30-year-old uncle who is cheating a few high school girls out of money.

I don't want to go.

But I need money now.

It's almost the end of the month, and I have more than 200 yuan left on me, and the rent is 1,000 yuan.

What should I do if I can't pay my rent then?

"How about it, uncle, this is a good opportunity to make money, think about it, there are five hundred yuan for painting a painting, and when the time comes, you will be two hundred and five, and I will be two hundred and five, wouldn't it be very cool?"

The cute girl is kind to me.
