On the Eve of the Storm Chapter 2 Ill-fated Journey
Qiao Liang hugged the crying Li Anna for three or four minutes, and unconsciously, there was a trace of sourness in his heart, and he remembered many past events:
Back then, my father left a butt of gambling debts and drove west, leaving myself and my sister and mother to depend on each other, and my mother was under the pressure of widowhood and heavy debts, and there was no way, in order to help my father pay off his gambling debts and reduce the burden on his mother, he was only 16 years old at the time and had to abandon his studies and go out to work to earn money.
Not to mention how hard the part-time life was, just to say that after ten years of struggle, with his unremitting efforts, he finally paid off the debts owed by his father, shared his sorrows for his mother, and was also able to escape from the devil's factory that had squeezed him for nearly ten years.
Later, in order to make a living, I found a job as a supermarket waiter, which is not too idle compared to the workload of cramping and peeling in the factory.
It was in this supermarket that I was able to meet Li Anna, who was a teller. This girl is extraordinary, fresh and refined, with a small face like a begonia flower, which she likes deeply, but because of her low status, she is poor and white, and she is a graduate of a famous college student, so she has not dared to pursue it.
Soon after, I had some money and rented my current house, but then came the news that my sister was admitted to university, and the family was stretched thin and could not afford the tuition.
There is no doubt that I have to shoulder this burden again.
However, this is to earn tuition for my little sister, and this money is also spent on my family, not for others, so this money is also earned happily without any complaints.
What I didn't expect was that after a casual conversation, I unexpectedly found that Li Anna was also in the same situation as herself. It's just that these sufferings of her family came later than her own. And Anna's father did not owe gambling debts, but disappeared when she was very young, and her mother died of cancer when she was about to graduate from college, leaving her and a younger brother who was still in college to rely on her.
Fortunately, her younger brother is smart enough, gets scholarships every year, and often works and studies, so she solves most of the tuition and living expenses, so that Li Anna will not work too hard to earn money for her brother's tuition.
After understanding Li Anna's predicament, God seems to let people who are sympathetic to each other know how to sympathize with each other, so gradually, he and Li Anna got a little closer.
But despite this, he still didn't dare to have any bold ideas about Li Anna, even now, he .......
Speaking of which, she and Li Anna are really hard-working people, with many ill-fated and unfortunate ....... ”
Thinking of these past events, Qiao Liang only felt vivid, and his heart couldn't help but be touched, and he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.
At this time, his hand gently patted the crying Li Anna in his arms, giving people comfort, but his eyes were staring blankly at the wall not far away, feeling self-sad.
And this scene, Li Anna, who happened to be looking up at him again, saw it, and it was actually a "poof", broke into laughter, and said with a blushing face: "I'm sad myself, I feel sorry for money, why are you crying?" ”
Qiao Liang suddenly came back to his senses, suddenly felt that his eyes were sour, his cheeks were red and hot, and he quickly let go of Li Anna and said, "Am I crying?" Reaching out and wiping the corner of his eye, it really felt wet, and he hurriedly said, "Oh, I...... I haven't washed my face yet! This eye has run into the eyes! ”
Then Qiao Liang turned his head and ran to the bathroom, while saying, "You sit down by yourself first, I'll wash my face." ”
Li Anna nodded back: "Hmm! ”
The hazy sound is even more intoxicating than the wine.
When Qiao Liang washed his face and hair, Li Anna did not sit down, but walked to look at his kitchen.
There was only a box of eggs in the kitchen, and a lot of pots and pans had not been washed, Li Anna saw that Qiao Liang was living like this, and she also had a little sympathy, so she said: "Why don't you clean up the place where you live?" Aren't you afraid of attracting rats and cockroaches? ”
Qiao Liang wiped his head with a bath towel and walked out of the bathroom, and responded: "I still want some cockroaches and mice, I'm alone, lonely, I'm really a little scared." ”
Li Anna turned on the kitchen faucet, apparently to help Qiao Liang wash the pile of pots and pans, and said, "Doesn't your sister come often?" ”
Qiao Liang replied: "She only comes to play for a few days during the holidays, and like me, she is too lazy to die, and I usually serve her." Seeing that Li Anna wanted to help her wash the dishes, she hurriedly persuaded: "Hey, you can just put it there, and I will wash it at night." ”
Li Anna said: "Don't worry, I won't help you wash in vain, and you will have to accompany me to the landlord to ask for rent later." I don't want to live in a perverted place. ”
Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Okay, even if it's the labor cost of washing dishes." ”
Li Anna smiled: "Definitely! Gifts are still exchanged. ”
After Qiao Liang cleaned himself up, Li Anna also helped him clean up the kitchen, and asked him again, "What do you have for breakfast?" ”
Qiao Liang came out of the bedroom casually, and the whole person suddenly looked much refreshed, and said: "I used to eat some egg noodles, but the noodles were gone last night, so I can't eat anything now." ”
"What about you, have you eaten?" He asked Anna again.
Li Anna came over and sat on the sofa, took out a few tissues to wipe the water droplets on her hands, and complained: "I didn't eat either!" I just moved here yesterday, and I didn't buy anything, so I didn't come to you, I thought I could mix a delicious meal, but I didn't expect to be poorer than me. ”
Qiao Liang stood in front of the mirror on the cupboard, picked up his hair, and responded: "That's my fault, I didn't fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Li Anna said in a loud voice: "Yes, so you have to accompany me to eat a delicious meal later." ”
Qiao Liang said: "Okay! As long as it is less than 100 yuan, I invite you to eat as much as you want. ”
Li Anna burst out laughing: "You just use this 'less than a hundred yuan' to pretend your atmosphere!" Please eat as much as you want. ”
Qiao Liang turned around from the cupboard and said with a smile: "No way, this is all the contemptible." ”
Li Anna couldn't help but laugh again, and the laughter was tactful, breaking Qiao Liang's heart.
Qiao Liang was suddenly a little stunned, but soon came to his senses and said, "Then let's go, go and see the atmosphere of a hundred yuan." ”
Li Anna put on her small crimson backpack, stood up, stared at Qiao Liang with apricot eyes, and said fiercely: "Okay, even if it's this hundred yuan, I will also eat you poorly, and I won't give you any leftovers." ”
Qiao Liang said: "As long as you are happy, you can spend the hundred yuan today." ”
Li Anna couldn't help but smile again, then moved her lotus steps, and walked towards the door, while saying to Qiao Liang: "Qiao Liang, I have grown so big, it is the first time I have heard someone say that stinginess is so fresh and refined!" ”
Qiao Liang then followed, and defended himself as soon as he spoke: "This is called thrift, rational consumption, how many men know these common sense?" ”
