The weather is unusually hot, and people don't stop going out because of the sweltering heat.

Those who should go to work go to work, those who should go to school go to school, and the elderly at home should go out to buy groceries.

Tropical storms are forming in the Pacific Ocean, which happens several times a year in the coastal city of Chunyang, and the sweltering heat before the storm always makes the mood worse.

The subway is the mode of transportation chosen by most office workers, Qingyun Station of Metro Line 2 is not far from his home, he goes out at seven o'clock every morning, and after three stations on Line 2, he transfers to Line 5 and then takes 8 stations, which is where he works.

Every day when I catch the subway at that point, I will see some familiar faces many times, these are the most familiar strangers, who often meet but never speak.

The boy and his mom would meet them nine times out of ten on the subway.

The boy is 8 years old and attends the No. 3 Elementary School in Chunyang City.

He remembers communicating with the boy six months ago, and he doesn't know when he saw the boy and his mother on the subway often.

He noticed that it was because of the boy's small body, but he was carrying a big and heavy school bag, the straps of the school bag were too long, and the hem of the school bag fell very low, making every step of the boy look difficult.

His mother, a beautiful and well-dressed woman, looked very young, no more than twenty years old.

It is indeed surprising that she has such an older child.

The first time he had doubts in his heart, he smiled self-deprecatingly, when he was the same age as a little boy, wasn't his mother also in her twenties?

The boy's mother was carrying a nice little satchel, and he knew that the bag was of a certain brand and the price was at least 5 figures.

The mother never helped the boy to carry things, during the morning rush hour, the little boy with his schoolbag crowded in the middle of the crowd, and could not find the fulcrum, every time the boy hesitated to hold his mother's hand, the hand with red nail polish bounced away as if it had hit an evil spirit.

On several occasions, the boy was almost squeezed out by the people who got out of the car, but it was he who reached out in time to pull the boy back.

The mother and son took Line 2, and the boy's elementary school got off at Maoling Station, three stations later.

He needs to transfer to the platform every day, and after getting off the train, he always can't help but look at the boy and his mother who are hurriedly drowning in the crowd.

He saw unhappiness in the boy's eyes, and sometimes, he would see tears of grievance in the boy's eyes.

It was on that occasion that he had spoken to the boy, and as he entered the platform, he saw his young mother reprimanding the boy from afar.

The boy drooped his head and didn't say a word, and the mother became more and more angry, slapped her son, and turned away.

He couldn't look past it, so he walked over and asked the boy what was wrong.

The boy said that he was not good, which made his mother angry.

The way a child lives a humble life in front of his mother is simply a copy of his own childhood.

That day, he took the boy on the subway and dropped him off at the school gate.

After a brief exchange, he learns that the boy lives with his mother and has not seen his father since he was a child.

The boy is very sensible, and it is understandable that his mother works hard and sometimes has a bad temper.

The boy said, "Brother, my mother is just strict with me in my studies, and she is very good to me in other aspects." ”

The boy's mother left him alone in the subway station that day because the boy had lost two points in the math unit test because of his sloppiness.

He was actually very puzzled, what kind of work did the boy's mother do to carry a five-figure bag?

The boy was young, and said that he didn't know what his mother did, but he was very busy, the kind that was busy day and night.

The tropical storm had been brewing for days, and the city was so late that it was almost frying.

He found that he had not seen the little boy or his mother on the subway for several days.

The cold air on the subway was dispersed by the crowd without a trace, and a hot and humid breath filled the air, making people more and more bored.

After arriving at Maoling Station, he did not immediately transfer to Line 5, but got out of the subway station and went to the boy's school.

At the school gate, he stood for a long time, hoping to see the boy in the crowd.

The result disappointed him, and the boy never showed up until the school closed its gates.

On this day, he was late for work and was scolded by his boss.

This is not a salty job, in fact, he has long been tired of it, and he has to face an annoying boss every day, with a mouthful of big yellow teeth, a piece of one, and the smell of inferior tobacco.

One or two colleagues wearing disguised faces, seemingly giggling and laughing, but behind the scenes, they are desperately calculating for promotions and salary increases.

In the first few years of work, he thought about resigning, but his mother said that no matter how he said it, he was a public official, working from 9 to 5, and his job was stable, which many people could not envy, so let him be content!

Although he felt that he had been studying hard for many years, in the end it was such a peaceful gain, and he was more or less unwilling, but for the sake of his mother, he endured it.

I didn't expect it, but I got used to it after enduring.

When I got home from work, the weather was raining.

During rush hour, Metro No. 2 is always crowded.

Although the subway is the fastest means of transportation, he still hopes to be a little faster, a little faster to get out of the stuffy air.

The door opened, and he quickly squeezed out of the crowd.

When I got on the elevator, the back of a beautiful girl in a printed dress in front of me seemed to have been seen somewhere.

I couldn't remember it for a while.

Exit 2 was right in front of him, and the girl had been in front of him.

The girl and he went left and right, one step at a time, two steps at a time, three steps and four steps.

Around the corner, about ten paces into the corner, his mind instantly sobered up.

This girl is the boy's mother.

Stepping back from around the corner, his pace quickened, hoping to be visible.

In the end, he was not disappointed, and on the road to the left, the figure of the red print was particularly obvious.

After following a few steps, a few minutes later, the woman entered the high-end community on Qingyang Road.

When she was about to catch up and ask the boy how he was doing, the woman entered the gate of the community.

The access control of the community was very strict, and he failed to follow up.

The woman's figure soon disappeared.

There is a cold drink shop on the left side of the gate of the community, and in this kind of ghost weather, he urgently needs a bottle of ice drink to calm his mood.

When a cup of cocktail milk tea was in her hand, the woman appeared at the door of the community again, she changed into a small dress, her long hair was pulled up, she looked young and beautiful, not quite like a mother with a primary school child.

After a while, a black luxury car drove over, the woman's originally gloomy face instantly brightened, a middle-aged man got out of the car, very gentlemanly pulled the car door, the woman smiled at the man and sat in.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and the afterglow of a sunset on the horizon added a dreamlike color to the city.
