Chapter 158: Life in Reality

When we went upstairs, we ordered food and chatted with Brother Rundong about reading first.

It was easy to open Brother Rundong's conversation box when talking about this topic, and he excitedly told me how he discovered this library, what books he read, what experiences he had, etc., and he was very happy.

I also believe that Brother Rundong will gain something from reading books here, this is a way of self-learning, Brother Rundong also has the ability to learn by himself, when he was in our village, he basically read all the books by self-study, but after listening to Brother Rundong for a while, after I was bored for a while, I still couldn't help it, and asked in the softest tone possible: "Brother Rundong, what are your plans for the future?" Or, have you thought about the future, what are you going to do?"

was silent, Brother Rundong, who has always answered other people's questions fluently, was silent at this moment.

I didn't rush to urge Brother Dong, I really wanted him to think about what he was going to do in the future, he was old enough to think about it.

In this world, other people's children have already come out to work at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and Brother Rundong has already passed that age.

After a long time, Brother Rundong raised his eyes with a frown, at this moment his eyes no longer had the same perseverance as before, but there was a trace of hesitation, and after pursing his lips, he said with great difficulty: "I, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

I was dumbfounded, I didn't know how to answer Brother Rundong's words, I had never heard Brother Rundong give such an uncertain answer before, he used to answer my questions always fast, at this moment he suddenly said that I didn't think about it It made me very surprised, but seeing the tangled expression on Brother Rundong's face, the blank eyes, I believe he really didn't think about it.

"How could he not have thought about it? Is it hard to think?"

I asked myself in my heart, is this question really difficult to answer, but seeing him hesitate at this moment, I remembered that when Brother Rundong walked out of the mountain village before, what he said was that he had only one goal, that is, to overthrow the imperial system and do something for the prosperity of the Shenghua Empire, and now, the emperor has been overthrown, and the matter of the prosperity of the Shenghua Empire is controlled by Yuan Gongbao, he can't intervene, and Yixian Sun didn't explain what he was going to do when he resigned as the interim president, so after Brother Rundong resigned with others, he naturally had no goal, and he didn't know what to do。

His goal of leaving the mountain village was not to make ends meet, so he probably never thought about his career.

It's not enough to have no goal, in fact, I feel that Brother Rundong at this moment has lost some of his previous self-confidence, which can be seen from his momentum that is no longer publicized, he has really lost his goal, and he is a little dazed.

Brother Rundong obviously felt that his answer was a little too weak, so he added: "I see this library now, I will read the books for a while before making plans." ”

"Oh...... , too. ”

I echoed and said, but I still couldn't help shaking my head in my heart, because I think it is very easy to choose a career, and it is not easy to find something that can eat well? If you really feel that choosing one is not suitable, and then change to another one, you will always encounter something suitable for you, which is the matter of riding a donkey to find a donkey.

However, I believe that Brother Rundong will not think so, it is estimated that he wants to choose a profession that is more in line with his heart, and after choosing that profession, he will fight like a monk who is loyal to his beliefs, and he will not give up until he reaches his goal, just like he hopes that the emperor will step down, but this time the emperor stepped down too suddenly, and Brother Rundong suddenly lost his direction.

I shook my head secretly, thinking that he was really tired!

Forget it, let him do it, give him some more time, and let him think about it carefully.

Next, we put aside this difficult topic, ate and drank, and returned to a relaxed state.

However, Brother Rundong's expression still looked reserved, and I knew that he could no longer be as confident as before.

This is also a good thing, I think that not being confident means that he is denying his previous self, denying the self that thinks he is strong, denying the stubborn self, and when he denies himself, it is also the time when he is most likely to accept new ideas, I hope that Brother Rundong can find a new self from such a state of unconfidence, and come out of a new state.

This can make him more realistic, stop being like a dirt bun, and live without fear of heaven and earth.

After eating, Brother Rundong and I went to his current residence, which is the so-called Xiangnan Club.

I had only heard of this place before, but now after seeing it, I know that this is like a big refugee camp, the rent here must be cheap, more than the cheapest meal, a big house is divided into bunk beds densely packed with almost fifty people, the smell inside is also unbearable, although I know that Brother Rundong doesn't care about food, clothing, and housing, but if these conditions are extremely poor, it still makes people look bad on the face, he persuaded me to go back to school.

It's good for everyone, I left here, and let Brother Rundong have something to do to go to the school to find me.

I waved goodbye to Brother Rundong.

Walking on the road, I shook my head vigorously and sighed, not knowing what to think of Brother Rundong.

But as I walked, I laughed out loud again, and it was funny to think about.

I always think that Brother Rundong is not grounded, this time it's good, he doesn't want to be grounded, now he lives in this place, it's really down-to-earth, and it's all connected to the lowest level of the underground gas, every day with these people at the bottom of the society, living together, let him also know, there is another way of life in society, a way of life struggling on the edge of survival, here, it has nothing to do with the ideal, only survival, only find a way to live.

All ideals will be said to be a fart when they get here.

Brother Rundong has started another period of his new life.

It was day, night, God knows how he survived.

Back at school, I went about my normal life, attending classes during the day, occasionally taking time to play games in the afternoon, and going back to my dorm at night.

In this way, another month has passed, early in the morning of this day, Xiao Feng and I went to the breakfast shop outside for breakfast, since Brother Rundong went to join the army, it was the two of us who were together for activities, and this breakfast shop was also a place where Brother Rundong and we often came before, the two of us sat down and just bought breakfast, and at this moment a hearty and familiar voice suddenly came from the side: "What a coincidence, you two are here." ”

Of course we know who this voice is, we hurriedly turned our heads to look, sure enough, it was Brother Rundong who came, rare, he finally came to see us, it should be that he has a new plan for his future, it's been a month, he should have figured it out, I was busy Zhang Luo said: "Boss, another bowl of hot noodle soup, add an omelette." ”

Brother Rundong nodded and smiled at me, and then sat down next to us.

"Brother Rundong is very tired and hard in the barracks, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. ”

Xiao Feng asked Brother Rundong with concern, I didn't tell Xiao Feng about Brother Rundong's departure from the barracks, so Xiao Feng and other classmates didn't know that Brother Rundong had left the barracks.

His expression was slightly cramped, and then Brother Rundong calmed down again, and said with a smile: "I have already left the barracks, I don't do it there, I went to be a soldier to let the emperor step down, and now that the emperor has stepped down, I don't think it's interesting to stay there anymore." ”

Xiao Feng's expression at this moment was as surprised as I was before, and he hurriedly asked, "Then Brother Rundong, what are you doing now?"

"I found a good place, do you know the Xiangnan Provincial Library? There are a lot of books there, and reading books there is much more enjoyable than listening to lectures at school......" Brother Rundong introduced Xiao Feng to the Xiangnan Provincial Library with great interest, and his eyebrows danced.

I listened quietly, I just saw Brother Rundong coming, I thought Brother Rundong was here to inform us that he had a new plan, I thought he was here to tell us that he had a new job, I didn't mention Brother Rundong's departure from the barracks to others before, I just wanted to wait until Brother Rundong had a new plan, let him inform everyone by himself, it seems that now he is still ready to continue reading in the library, it's been a month, he is still just reading books, not thinking about his future affairs, when is this the end!

I'm worried.

After chatting for a while, seeing that the time was about the same, Xiao Feng had already gotten up and was about to go back to school, when Brother Rundong said to me with a slightly cramped expression: "Ling Feng, I have something to do with you." ”

Xiao Feng knew that Brother Rundong and I were from the same village, and it was estimated that there were some private matters between us that needed to be explained, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Brother Rundong and left first.

Seeing Xiao Feng walking away, Brother Rundong turned his head and said very entangledly: "Ling Feng, then, do you still have any extra money there?" Lend me a silver coin, and I will pay you back when I return to the village." ”
