Chapter 7

"I'm just friends with Dong Jiu." Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, isn't it a good friend relationship?

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to realize something, and said again without waiting for Ye Lan to speak, "I'm not used to seeing school bullying, I think you should be able to see my character, senior." ”

Ye Lan didn't speak, and fell into deep thought. Xu Xiaoxiao is indeed a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he also likes to meddle in things. It's just that this is too good, I hope he thinks too much.

At this point, the topic fell silent, and no one spoke again.

At this moment, the mother who was sitting on the side and smiled opened her mouth to speak, breaking the silence between the two.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you talk about it? ”

Xu Xiaoxiao quickly adjusted her mood, pretended that nothing had happened, and said, "No, eat, I'm hungry." ”

But it also made her even more weak-hearted, and she seemed to want to avoid the problem.

"Look, the heart is empty?" Ye Lan took the opportunity to say, his voice was suppressed and pressed, and he said it in a voice that only two people could hear.

He also picked up the chopsticks in front of the table and put a piece of sushi in his mouth.

"I don't." Xu Xiaoxiao was not to be outdone.

Ye Lan chewed sushi in her mouth and didn't open her mouth, the two of them ate seriously, and the occasional few words of small talk were just to discuss these dishes, which dishes were delicious and which ones were not delicious.

The adults on one side have talked about work, children's learning, and some things they have experienced.

This dinner was peaceful, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand the atmosphere here, she felt a little stuffy, and was ready to use the reason to go to the toilet to go out to breathe.

There are no children of the same age here, that is, Ye Lan next to her, basically adults are communicating, plus her stomach is a little full and she can't eat the food, sitting here quietly makes her feel very uncomfortable.

"I'll go to the bathroom." After speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao was about to stand up.

But what she didn't expect was that Ye Lan also spoke, "Mom, I also want to go to the toilet." ”

The hotel is quite large, the toilet is a little difficult to find, and the parents on both sides are not much suspicious.

"Alright, you can go."

"Go ahead."

Xu Xiaoxiao glared at him angrily, and walked out of the private room by himself.

It was noisy outside, and it was even more irritable than inside, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it, and ran directly to the toilet, followed by Ye Lan.

Ye Lan didn't think much about it, after all, he also felt that the environment inside was too noisy, so he also wanted to go to the toilet, turned around, and followed Xu Xiaoxiao away.

Soon, the two returned to the private room, and the adults had eaten about the same, and it was time to go home.

"Goodbye junior, see you at school." Ye Lan spoke politely.

"Goodbye, senior."

The adults also greeted each other, and together they went out of the private room and went downstairs.

Each led his family, walked towards his own car, and returned home.

On the other hand, Dong Jiu is still at work, but he is obviously a little absent-minded today.

Dong Jiu sat and rested in the back kitchen, I don't know what I was thinking, I came here to work, the meal time was very busy, after this point, I had to clean up the table and wash the dishes, so I didn't have much free time, and I was tired enough at the end of the day.

Finding a part-time job is obviously a bit unlikely.

Su Ze on the side asked again, "Dong Jiu, what do you want?" ”

Su Ze's tone was a little cold.

Dong Jiu is indeed a little abnormal today, his hands and feet are much cleaner than when he first came, but today he made frequent mistakes, and he didn't notice many details.

"Huh? No no. Dong Jiu was about to take out his mobile phone and go to 58.com to see if there were any part-time jobs, thinking about doing it in his spare time.

But it seems that apart from handing out flyers and pretending to be bears, there is no part-time work to do.

"You've made a lot of mistakes today." Su Ze frowned, these words were always said in person, but now with such a tone, he should understand what he meant, right?

Dong Jiu lowered his head, hummed lightly, and then said, "I'm sorry, I'll pay attention next time." ”

Su Ze didn't say much, but stood beside Dong Jiu, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and replied to some messages in WeChat, saying, "You have a good rest at night and come back tomorrow." If you continue in this state...... "Don't come here in the future."

Su Ze thinks that Dong Jiu can't persevere, after all, he is here to work on winter vacation, how can the current students endure this? It's just that Dong Jiu is too fresh, and he can't do it anymore when he's tired. Friends belong to friends, work belongs to work, he will never put these two things together, if Dong Jiu's mistake is very obvious, he will not leave Dong Jiu because Dong Jiu has a good relationship with him.

When Dong Jiu heard this, he immediately denied it, so Su Ze's sentence was not to come in the future, and before he said it, he was choked back by Dong Jiu.

"No, I can, I'm fine." Dong Jiu bowed his hand and said.

"Okay then." Su Ze didn't think much about it, but looking at it like this, Dong Jiu must have had an accident, but he didn't want to tell him more, he must have his own reasons, so there was no need to ask.

It is said on the Internet that as a friend, you should accompany him in times of crisis.

There's nothing to do now, so stay with him for a while.

When Dong Jiu heard this, he was relieved.

But now he is not idle, he took out his mobile phone, opened 58.com, and clicked on the part-time job.

In addition to handing out flyers, there is also playing the role of a bear.

Twenty yuan an hour for handing out flyers, the price of playing the bear is the same as before, Dong Jiu wanted to flip down again, but he suddenly realized something. Look back.

Sure enough, Su Ze didn't leave and stood next to him.

Su Ze clearly saw what Dong Jiu had done, this was not what Su Ze wanted to see, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of the scene when Dong Jiu opened 58 City.

At that time, he felt a little strange in his heart, what he wanted to do, so he continued to watch, it turned out that he wanted to work part-time in his spare time.

"What's wrong? Can't you tell me about it, but we're also colleagues and friends. ”

It turned out that he was wrong to blame him, and he thought that Dong Jiu felt that it was not good here, and wanted to find another job, but it was difficult to find a job during the winter vacation.

After this thought, Su Ze had a good impression of Dong Jiu and wanted to help him.

Dong Jiu didn't speak, it seemed that Su Ze had guessed.

"Hmm... I'm afraid that I will be looked down upon. ”

Su Ze sighed, when everyone is in difficulty, a person's life cannot be smooth sailing, after this sentence, the idea of helping him is a little more.

"I have a friend here who will enroll students at the entrance of the primary school on Mondays and Fridays, and you can go and help her with enrollment and fill out the enrollment materials."

Dong Jiu was a little stunned, was Su Ze helping him? Also, he just admitted that they were friends and colleagues. But is that really good... troubled Su Ze, and also troubled his friend.

"There is a shortage of people on his side, and you know, we are busy at the time when we go to the hotel, and you don't do night shifts on Mondays and Fridays, and an educational institution he runs by himself is at the stage of recruiting."

"I don't know the price he gave, but it's definitely better than handing out flyers, think about it?"

Su Ze could see Dong Jiu's entanglement, he was a person who didn't want to trouble others.

So that's how it was... Then you can consider it, he really doesn't do night shifts on Mondays and Fridays, he usually chooses to work overtime during this time period, although the overtime pay is not high, but it is also a piece of meat, so Dong Jiu rarely rests.

"Thank you, help me ask." Dong Jiu said this politely, he was really grateful to Su Ze for appearing at such a difficult time, and he didn't dislike him yet.

"Then I'll help you ask." After saying that, Su Ze was about to make a phone call to that person.

"Do you have time?" Su Ze, as always, said very few words, and expressed his meaning most clearly.

"Yes, why did you remember to call me hahaha." The phone immediately came back, and Dong Jiu was still a little stunned on the side.

"Don't you have an educational institution that is going to recruit people to help fill out the information at the school gate?" Su Ze went straight to the point and said the point of the call.

"yes, do you want to refer someone to me?"

This time, Dong Jiu heard it clearly, this man's voice had a hint of calmness, and his age should not exceed twenty-five years old.

"I have a guy here who does things cleanly, and I want to recommend him to you." Su Ze continued.

"Is that man on the side?" The phone became serious, Su Ze rarely bothered him, and he couldn't even talk to him when he wanted to, he had always been like this.

"Yes."

"Give him the phone, I'll talk to him, it's too boring to talk to you."

Su Ze didn't hear the last word of the other party at all, and directly replaced the mobile phone with Dong Jiu.

"You... Hello? Dong Jiu said tentatively.

"Hello, don't be nervous."

The other party was very kind, probably because Su Ze was there, Dong Jiu was not afraid, so he spoke first.

"Can I go to work with you? I'll do it well. ”

The person on the other side of the phone chuckled and immediately said, "Of course you can, the person he recommended to me will definitely not be bad." ”

Dong Jiu was a little embarrassed to be said, he had never done this kind of thing, it was the first time, and it was the first time to even do catering, he was really afraid that he would not do well, so he did not speak.

"Listen to your voice, I should be a high school student, right?" That side continued.

"How old are you?"

"Yes, sixteen." Dong Jiu replied.

"That's okay, if you have time to let Su Ze bring you over, the salary is 100 a day, and you get the registration fee paid by the recruiter, you take 50, you only need to fill in the applicant's information, and then classify the grade, gender, and class of these people, we will talk about it when we meet."

"Uh-huh." Dong Jiu also nodded on the phone, the daily salary is 100 guarantees, and the recruitment of 50 people is better, which is better than working overtime here, and it is better than handing out leaflets outside.

"Okay, then let's come over in the next two days." After saying that, the other end of the phone had already hung up.

Dong Jiu's mood has also improved, the salary here will soon hit the card, plus the income from this part-time job, the mother of 10,000 will not be too tired.

After the busy winter vacation, Dong Jiu also successfully put the 12,000 into Liu Wenjie's card, and the month was peaceful.

At the beginning of the school year, because they hadn't seen each other for a month, the classmates were chatting around, compared to Dong Jiu's loneliness, they were really lively, Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi were the latest to arrive in the classroom.

"Good work for the new semester!"

"Come on"

"Come on"

This semester has not changed much from the previous semester, Dong Jiu still has not been recognized by most of the people in the class, like Fu Xing, an active member of the class, but what has improved is that several classmates next to him are also willing to communicate with him, even if it is just a simple question, Dong Jiu feels very satisfied.

Recently, he has been very annoyed by one thing that has been surrounding Dong Jiu, Xu Xiaoxiao knows his family background, it is nothing, but boys also have self-esteem, coupled with Dong Jiu's very sensitive and inferior heart, he began to be afraid, afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would be unwilling to accept him with such a family background.

This matter is like this, when school is out this Friday, Xu Xiaoxiao wants to go back to Ninghai and doesn't want to live in school, but there are a lot of things to move, Zhuang Wanyi has a cold and goes for injections, so Dong Jiu naturally takes Zhuang Wanyi's place. sent Xu Xiaoxiao to the station, and just as Xu Xiaoxiao was about to check the ticket, those creditors saw Dong Jiu.

"It's been a long time, but the money has been paid back quite punctually recently."

Dong Jiu was a little embarrassed, he felt that something had been revealed, and smiled very far-fetchedly: "Yes, they are all working hard to make money."

"If you are so rich, then pay back a little more next month, pay back a little more" The creditor Ke Wall looked at a girl standing next to Dong Jiu, a tall and thin person, a very handsome high school student, "Don't you introduce me?" His eyes glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao.

"What's the matter, little girlfriend".

Dong Jiu felt that he was even more embarrassed, and he grabbed the corner of his clothes: "No, no, just do my classmates a favor."

Ke Wall laughed: "Why do you still have friends?"

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao frowned: "Uncle, we respect you, and you also respect Dong Jiu, Dong Jiu has a lot of friends."

Ke Wall grinned as if he had heard a joke: "I thought they heard about your family and ran away." Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you anymore, I'm going to get in the car. ”

After Ke Wall left, Xu Xiaoxiao asked, "What's the matter, ...... with me?"

"The passenger transport center reminds you that at 12:55, the bus of Jinyi arriving in Ninghai is about to check in the ticket, please check in the ticket for the passengers who have not yet boarded the bus......"

Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't finished asking the question yet, but the car was about to leave, and she couldn't ask more, so she hurriedly took the luggage in Dong Jiu's hand: "Dong Jiu, let's talk on my mobile phone, I'm in a hurry to get in the car now."

Dong Jiu nodded, looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's figure running over, and waved his hand.

Xu Xiaoxiao sent a message to Dong Jiu in a private chat.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: "What's the matter?"

Dong Jiu: "That's it, my family owes a lot of money." Dong Jiu thought about it, and deleted it again.

Dong Jiu: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just my dad's friend." After thinking about it, he deleted it, he was so hypocritical.

Dong Jiu: "The situation at home has not been good recently." In the end, Dong Jiu still deleted it, he didn't reply to Xu Xiaoxiao's message, because he didn't know how to face Xu Xiaoxiao's question, he was actually selfish and didn't want to tell Xu Xiaoxiao about it.

He remembered that when he was in elementary school, everyone was immature in mind, and his approach was very naΓ―ve, and he had been depressed, and a classmate came to ask him what was wrong, and Dong Jiu told him: "My family owes people money." Dong Jiu didn't know that the honesty of his words this time would affect his entire elementary school period, and the next day he came to school and sat in his seat as usual, the only difference was that there were many voices saying that he was a child who owed money to others and couldn't play with him. As a child, it feels like the sky is falling when no one is playing. Dong Jiu ran home crying that day, Chen Xuefen held him in his arms, no matter how much he comforted, he waited until Dong Jiu had cried enough before telling Chen Xuefen about it. But since then, Dong Jiu has never mentioned this matter to anyone, and those who know a little bit only know that Dong Jiu is a single-parent family, and it is not easy for a mother to support her children.

Dong Jiu went home and took a shower, slept for a while, and after waking up, he opened his mobile phone and took a look, and Xu Xiaoxiao sent him WeChat.

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: "I just want to find out, there is no malice."

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: "I just want to help you, that is, as a friend, if you have any difficulties, I can help." Dong Jiu's expression is very complicated, you can't help with this. ”

Xiaoxiao likes to eat melons: "Okay Dong Jiu, it's okay if you don't want to tell me, after all, everyone has their own secrets, if you want to say it one day, tell me again."

Dong Jiu thought for a while and replied: "It's nothing, my mother's capital turnover for the purchase a few days ago is not enough, like someone else borrowed a little, don't think about it, rest early." Dong Jiu still lied, no way, this matter is like a thorn in Dong Jiu's heart, he can't see it and can't pull it out, he doesn't have the courage to tell the truth to Xu Xiaoxiao, he feels very sorry, but this kind of thing can only be a person's secret, sometimes even good friends can't share it.

This is a small episode, a not beautiful episode, in this episode Dong Jiu lied, but the lie will have to be made up for by many lies.

Time passes quickly, and the students who were in the first year of high school a moment ago have also become the senior sisters of the second year of high school, and the second year of high school is a transitional paragraph, which means that the learning foundation of the third year of high school, everyone enters high school in order to be admitted to a good university.

Ye Lan, as a senior in the third year of high school, is about to retire with honor.

"Congratulations to Senior Ye Lan on her success in the college entrance examination."

"The college entrance examination went well."

"The college entrance examination went well."

……

Xu Xiaoxiao also cooperated and toasted a glass of wine, Ye Lan thought that she was about to graduate anyway, and it happened that these juniors and sisters were pressed by the test papers every day, so they found a reason for a "student club gathering", and asked each of them out of the house to relax their moods.

"What university do seniors want to go to?" After three rounds of drinking, the people at the table had almost eaten, so they began to chat, "Su Hui University of Political Science and Law"

"What kind of major is this?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Prosecutor." Ye Lan smiled.

"The prosecutor is good, justice for the people."

Ye Lan nodded: "Didn't you say you wanted to be a lawyer before, I still remember that we may be opponents in the future."

Xu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised: "The senior actually remembered that I wanted to be a lawyer, and I was a top student, and my memory was really good."

Ye Lan smiled: "What's the matter, the senior sister said so righteously and awe-inspiringly, of course it is easy to remember."

After Zhuang Wanyi was full of food and drink, she also came over: "What kind of whispering are you talking about, let the master listen to it too." Then he leaned his head on Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Aang! Let's talk about the senior's desire to be a prosecutor. ”

"It's a pity that it's a good skin, alas!" Zhuang Wanyi stared at Ye Lan's face without being a little embarrassed.

"Time flies so fast, I feel that the club I signed up for yesterday, how can I say goodbye to so many seniors today."

"Are you reluctant?"

"Yes". Xu Xiaoxiao is a person with a lot of sentimentality, listening to himself talking, thinking about the picture of parting, his eyes are a little moist, it will be rare to see each other again in the future, they all go their separate ways, and there is rarely time to sit here and chat together.

The end of a party was eight o'clock, Ye Lan said that it was the reason why girls couldn't go home too late, and ended the party early, and he planned to send Xu Xiaoxiao back to the dormitory.

The two people kept an appropriate distance and walked, unhurriedly, neither of them spoke along the way, the dim street lamp, the shadows of the two people illuminated for a long time, and there was a feeling that the years were quiet.

"Senior, thank you so much for sending me back."

"No thanks, it might be the last time."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at him with some puzzlement, there is still a semester.

"I may be sent directly to that school next semester, and in Luohai, I don't come back many times."

"Senior, you are good enough, I believe you will become a good prosecutor." Xu Xiaoxiao gave Ye Lan a thumbs up.

"As you wish, I will defend the justice of this society."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, and the two of them were silent again, no one spoke, just standing at the school gate.

Ye Lan chuckled: "It's dark, let's go in."

"Then I'm leaving, goodbye, senior, come on, senior!" After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he trotted all the way back to the dormitory.

Some people can send them back to college, but some people don't even have to read.

Dong Jiu's suspension of school was without warning, when Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi just heard about this incident, they were both stunned, how could it be so sudden, Dong Jiu hadn't told the two of them either.

When school ended, Xu Xiaoxiao dialed Dong Jiu's phone that was already turned off, and no one answered.

The next morning, Xu Xiaoxiao still didn't give up, she thought that Dong Jiu couldn't have answered the phone for no reason so plainly, she thought it might be out of power, but the number she dialed today, still no one answered, Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi didn't know where Dong Jiu's home was, Dong Jiu disappeared into Xu Xiaoxiao and Zhuang Wanyi's lives like the world had evaporated.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't give up, he felt that Dong Jiu would definitely come to pack up these books, so he should still be able to meet him and ask him, but he didn't wait, and he didn't wait until the end of Xu Xiaoxiao's third year of high school.
