Chapter Eighty-Eight: Young Friendship

Ruoyu thought for a while and said, "If your friend is really the kind of person you can trust, then it may not hurt to borrow, but if you are not the kind of friend who is too good, I think you had better refuse, because when you borrow money, you are his son, and when you repay the money, you will become his grandson." ”

"Yes, because I used to be very good friends, I have borrowed a lot from him, so this time I chose to refuse, but I was too embarrassed to refuse, so I hid away."

Lu Feng's face showed a touch of sadness, Zheng Guang was no longer the friend he knew when he was young, and now he was more sophisticated and superficial.

Why do some people say that young friendship is the most precious, because it is not mixed with a little impurity, and it is as transparent as crystal. And once you enter this world of flowers, after the influence of the world, how much can the once sincere friendship really be preserved!

It turned out that this was the case, no wonder Lu Feng, who was usually enthusiastic, would hide far away. Ruoyu said simply: "Then you just say that you don't have money, maybe your heart is too soft, in fact, if there is anything bad to say, just find a reason." Did he pay you back what he borrowed before? ”

"I can't afford to pay it back, when I lent him a lot before, I was just a friend, and I didn't expect him to pay it back. In fact, I didn't have much money, I had saved it all my hard work, and I lent it all to him that time, so I had no pocket money to use. Lu Feng shook his head and said.

It was a hot summer last year, and Lu Feng unexpectedly received the same call from Zheng Guang, saying that he wanted to see him for something. At this time, they have not been in touch for two or three years, and I heard that Zheng Guang worked in a small famous restaurant before, and with his cleverness and cleverness, he soon became a foreman, and his life was quite good.

Later, he got along with a waiter from other places, and just when the two were in full swing, the two unexpectedly quit their jobs and chose to go to the woman's hometown to develop, and they have not been heard from since. Zheng Guang's father also once asked his childhood friend for news, but found nothing.

Now that he is reunited with his childhood playmate, Lu Feng no longer has the joy he had at the beginning. Stepping on the broken fine tiles on the ground, Zheng Guang led him to a remote alley, pointed to a dilapidated hut in front of him, and said that he and his girlfriend were renting it here. But the rent is almost due, and you need to borrow some money to pay the rent. Why don't you go home and stay," he asked.

There was a bitter look on my face, I didn't have the face to go home, I was afraid to see my father. Now my girlfriend and I have a problem even eating, so you can help and borrow as much as you can. Looking at Zheng Guang's pleading gaze, and his girlfriend's weak body in the dim light, he felt pity.

Ruoyu advised: "Then you can't lend it to him again this time, if you lend it to him again, he will treat you as his passbook, and when you want to use it, he will come to you and take it." Even if you have money, you can't borrow it anymore unless it's important. ”

"Yes, this time his stepmother is going to have surgery, and she has no money, so she borrowed it from me. Originally, he said that the money he owed before would be repaid before the Chinese New Year, but it turned out to be this incident again, and I don't know if he said it was true, or if he made up a reason to borrow money from me, I don't believe him anymore. ”

Lu Feng will never forget that when he handed over the money to this friend the next day, Zheng Guang took it without saying a word, and didn't say anything and left. It was still summer, but the wind blew on him.

A chill rose from the bottom of my heart, friend, did you know that the six hundred yuan I borrowed from you was the result of how many days I spent on rushing through the ruthless crowd step by step, pedaling on a heavy tricycle, and how many days I had worked so hard to accumulate.

Ruoyu thought about it for a while and came up with a way to get the best of both worlds, "Then it's better not to borrow him, you can honestly say that you don't have any money, and then you can buy something and go to the hospital to see his mother." This is the best way to do it so that you don't offend your friends again. ”

Well, Ruoyu's method is very good, maybe we are still friends, but we are no longer the friends who valued love and kept promises before. Time has turned what was once precious beyond recognition. He thought a lot about it that night and fell asleep early.

In the dream, it was the soft sunshine of youth, kindly shining on their little faces. Every day after school, the two friends do their homework downstairs in his house, put their homework books on a hard cement longboard, and have no stools, so they can only stand.

At that time, they would not worry about the hardships of the environment, but would only be happy for this friendship.

In the dream, there is a sea of rolling yellow sand, and the waves are turbulent and stirring in the hearts of young people. That year was the summer vacation when they failed the high school entrance examination, and an invisible pressure weighed heavily on them, making people breathless. Under the contact of Zheng Guang's father, the two went on the road together to see the sea in the distance.

The road was dusty and rugged, but there was the golden melon that could be seen at any time, accompanying them all the way. I didn't see the boundless blue sea in my imagination, but I strongly felt its huge chest, and the confusion in my heart and the confusion of the future were relieved at that moment.

"It seems that what Sui Yuan said is very right, he said that you are very good, but you are too honest. Friends are very important, but it also depends on what kind of friend you are, you can't be too good to your friends, maybe you will regret it later. Ruoyu kindly reminded, and said: "I've been to your house with fate, you haven't seen each other for a long time, have fun!" ”

"Well, his master originally asked him to work overtime on Sundays, but Sui Yuan still secretly came to see me. We went to pick out our favorite clothes, then we went to the ice rink to skate and had a crazy time. Finally, we went for a walk and chatted by the river. ”

I think of the blue sky that day, the clouds reflected on the clear river, which is extraordinarily gorgeous. Unfortunately, despite the beautiful scenery, I still can't see the future I was looking forward to.

Sui Yuan pondered for a while and said, "I've been thinking about it recently, what can I do when I go back?" I don't want to float outside, after all, I'm getting older, I want to go back to develop, but it's difficult, you have to use your brain, you have to have money. ”

"When are you going back?" Lu Feng looked at his friend's more mature and stable expression, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. Although he has never experienced the wandering years in a foreign land, he can imagine the warmth of wandering people who yearn to return to their hometown after a long absence, and reunite with their families and friends.

As soon as he graduated from junior high school, he came to this strange town from Zigong, Sichuan, which is far away from thousands of mountains. For a wanderer wandering in a foreign land, hometown will be the most familiar and warmest place.

And we are no longer young, from twenty that year, to twenty-five now. After these years of continuous tempering of society, we have lost the vigor of our youth and lost our beautiful dreams. The face that was once childish was full of faint tiredness.

"I'm going to go home next Friday, but after I go back this time, I'm afraid I'll never come here again." Lu Feng's body trembled, and his mood seemed to have fallen from midsummer to midwinter, and he thought that his friends would spend the New Year happily at home like before, and then continue to come back here to work and earn money.

"I want to open my own factory, first make it smaller, about fifty or sixty thousand investment, so that the two of them are not much different." Calculate it as fate would have it.

Two people? Lu Feng patted his head, he almost forgot that he had a younger brother in Suiyuan, both brothers were working here, and they had some capital after a few years of savings, so it was really difficult for them.
