Chapter 3: The Gold Worshipper
Yu Anduo decided to return to Datang because of the sudden deterioration of her mother's condition.
"Andor, after so many years, you ...... It's very hard, uncle, see if you want to give up......" Uncle sat on the sofa with a dark face, the ashtray on the coffee table was already full of cigarette butts of different lengths, and my aunt lowered her head and silently wiped her tears beside her.
Yes, such a high surgical fee, Yu Anduo will definitely not be able to afford it at present. The family even sold their house a long time ago. Now Anduo lives at her uncle's house, and her uncle and aunt have already taken on heavy debts for Anduo's mother and daughter.
Uncle's abandonment is probably the last bottom line he can bear.
Mom's cancer wasn't discovered recently, and when it came out, Andor was still in her third year of high school.
Mom didn't tell Anduo, she kept standing strong, and encouraged Anduo to study hard. Anduo has been an excellent child since he was a child, and he is even more well-behaved and sensible at home. Many nights, my mother stared at the dark night outside the window and told herself strongly: I must hold on until Andor can live independently.
Accompanied by her mother's smile, Andor was admitted to a first-class architecture school in China.
It wasn't until her freshman year that Anduo discovered the pill bottle with her mother's English name printed on it.
Instead of shedding tears, Anduo smiled and said to her mother, "Mom, you will be fine!" ”
Since then, Andor has been more sensible and stronger than the rest of her classmates.
As a college student, she worked harder than anyone else: scholarships every year, competitions in various forms to get bonuses, and round-the-clock part-time jobs......
At school, Yu Anduo became a celebrity in the school - An Baijin girl! At that time, there was a popular saying on campus: as long as there is money to be made, there is an Anbai gold girl.
In fact, Anduo also wants to enjoy the beauty of youth like those students who can live a carefree life, and can just take part-time work as a kind of exercise. However, she really can't, because she needs to earn every tuition fee and living expenses by herself. And her mother's increasingly aggravating condition is a heavy burden on her body and mind.
Therefore, Yu Anduo is such a different existence on campus.
Until that day, she met Xiran, the person who was recognized by everyone in school as a rich second generation and a gentleman.
Chasing Anduo exhausted the world's worst ways - flowers, chocolates, movies......
Anduo was joking at first, until one day.
It was a hot summer vacation, and a convenience store where Andor had been working was closed down because of the boss's gambling, and Andor lost a stable income.
Andor stood at the door of the convenience store with the seal tightly attached, looking up at the familiar signboard, just standing, with an indescribable feeling in his heart. In the morning, the doctor informed Andor that her mother's condition was in need and that she needed to add one more medication every month, and the cost of the medicine needed to be raised. I was still counting on being able to go to the boss to advance some wages first, and it seemed that I was going to start the nervous job search stage again.
Anduo bought a few newspapers at the newsstand on the street, and carefully read each of the job postings on it, fearing that he would miss the slightest opportunity. Now that the golden time for recruitment has passed, it is not easy to find a suitable summer job.
After flipping through all the newspapers, there was basically no suitable information, and Anduo lowered his gray eyes and kicked the pebbles on the side of the road in frustration.
It was at this time that the raindrops crackled and fell. Before Andor could react, a large piece of clothes was wet in an instant. An Duo scolded in his heart: "Hey, if people are unlucky, they are really unsatisfactory everywhere." ”
She put a newspaper on her head and ran to the door of the shop on the street.
It was a beautifully decorated jewelry store, with a large roof, and Andor stood under the eaves, looking at the curtain of water that was gradually forming, and his heart was as cold as wet clothes.
"How are you?" A warm voice woke Andor from her contemplation. Turning his head, a tall white figure with a strand of hair hanging from his forehead, a few drops of water were slowly flowing down, setting off his slightly gray eyes.
When Anduo saw Xiran, he was also looking at Anduo with warm eyes. That look seemed to suddenly pass through the cold rain, hugging Andor with a touch of warmth.
For the first time, Anduo did not refuse Xiran's kindness. She followed Xiran to a café called "Chance".
"Don't be nervous, a waiter in the café suddenly had something at home last night, and he didn't come to work today, the boss is in a hurry to find someone, as long as you are willing, I think, you have no problem!" Xi Ran said, patted Anduo's shoulder hard, and showed a good-looking smile.
Anduo felt that it was the best boy smile she had ever seen since she grew up, clean and warm. At that moment, Anduo's heart had a little warmth.
Next, Xiran and Anduo worked together in the café called "Accidental".
After work on the first day, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, the street had faded away from the heat, and there was a little more coolness, and the street lights in the city were still gorgeous.
"Why do you work here? Do you need to work part-time? Anduo looked at Xiran with suspicion as he walked. Xiran put his hands in his pants bag diagonally, and looked at An Duo's eyes with a little naughtiness: "Yes, I want to understand your life and understand you!" Anduo didn't know how to answer, turned his head, and continued walking unhurriedly.
That night, the streetlamp stretched the shadows of the two men for a long, long time.
Then Xiran began to accompany Anduo to and from work every day, and the companionship of returning late in the early morning of those days became the most beautiful memory of that summer vacation.
At the end of that summer vacation, Xiran used the money from his part-time job to buy an ocean-blue dress for Anduo.
This time, Anduo did not refuse Xiran, but shed tears.
Xiran gently patted An Duo's head and said, "Fool, you have seen something a total of 6 times, how could I not remember." ”
It turns out that everything Andor has is so concerned and cherished.
At that time, Anduo found out for the first time that Xiran was not as annoying as a simple rich second generation. His smile was so sunny and clean, his eyes could be so clear and transparent, and Xi Ran, beside Anduo, had such a smile without impurities.
That year, Anduo was 19 years old and Xiran was 20 years old, and they were both studying in the same school.
Andor sat on the sofa, stopped his thoughts, and told himself again: Yu Andor, forget Xiran, that's in the past.
Yes, Xiran has been away from Andor's life for two years.
Forget about it!
An Duo smiled and continued to log in to Datang.
After communicating with Liu Ran, An Duo tied up the general, and then under Liu Ran's guidance, An Duo learned some basic Tang communication methods.
Andor asked, "How do I play this profession?" ”
Liu Ran smiled weirdly and said: "You only have one task, which is to know the prosperity and make him inseparable from you." ”
Andor pursed his lips and walked away decisively.
Anduo thought, I'm just going to get the inside story, get the bonus, and definitely not hurt anyone.
