Chapter 4: Money and Morality
City A, at the entrance of a large shopping mall.
In the distance came a man and a woman, a tall and thin man. He wears a black cloak and a construction site uniform with a hint of dust on it.
The girl is young and beautiful, wearing an emerald green dress.
People all looked at the boy strangely, and the boy seemed to feel this, and he walked timidly behind Lin Ping.
Lin Ping saw that Chen Shaoyou slowed down, Lin Ping said with a slight annoyance: "Brother Chen, you should go quickly, you are here!" ”
Chen Shaoyou had no choice but to endure the discomfort and follow Lin Ping into the mall.
After entering the mall, Chen Shaoyou felt that his eyes were shining. A dazzling array of goods caught Chen Shaoyou's eyes.
There were a lot of brand-new men's clothes displayed in the window, and Chen Shaoyou touched his clothes. He really didn't dare to wear such clothes like himself, which was a complete luxury for him.
Lin Ping looked left and right in the women's clothing area like a happy one, and asked the waiter to try on the clothes from time to time.
Lin Ping finally picked out a few clothes and asked the waiter to wrap them.
Lin Ping said to Chen Shaoyou with satisfaction: "Brother Chen, give me these clothes as a gift!" ”
Chen Shaoyou nodded without thinking, for Chen Shaoyou, he had no concept of money, and it was rare for Lin Ping to be happy.
Lin Ping blinked her eyes wide and said, "Brother Chen, go pay!" ”
Chen Shaoyou didn't know how to pay, and he was stuck in place for a while.
Lin Ping saw Chen Shaoyou's woodenness, she pursed her lips and pulled Chen Shaoyou to the cash register.
After leaving the mall, Lin Ping was elated all the way.
Seeing that Lin Ping was happy, Chen Shaoyou was also happy. Chen Shaoyou touched the cloth bag in his arms, and the cloth bag was already half deflated.
At night, Chen Shaoyou tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Lin Ping didn't come to him tonight, he was a little distracted.
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and during this period, Lin Ping seemed to have lost her enthusiasm for Chen Shaoyou.
The few times I did it was just to find Chen Shaoyou to go to the mall.
Chen Shaoyou, who didn't have much savings, also spent all his money.
After Chen Shaoyou finished his day's work, he walked to the room where Lin Ping lived.
Chen Shaoyou knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered the door.
Lin Hao appeared behind Chen Shaoyou at this time, and Lin Hao said: "Ping'er went to high school to report!" ”
Chen Shaoyou was stunned, he was thinking about Lin Ping. But before Lin Ping left, he didn't even say hello to himself, which made Chen Shaoyou very puzzled.
There was no night construction tonight, and Chen Shaoyou was tossing and turning in bed. Lin Ping's goodbye really made him sad.
Lin Ping's shadow has been deeply imprinted into Chen Shaoyou's heart, which is really torturous for a young man who is just starting to fall in love.
Chen Shaoyou sat up, "No, I'm going to find her!" ”
Thinking of this, Chen Shaoyou sat up. He put on a black cloak and walked out of the gate of the construction site towards a senior high school in City A, where Lin Ping was located.
Because Lin Ping spent all of Chen Shaoyou's savings, Chen Shaoyou couldn't take the car.
He walked to the school dozens of kilometers away on his own legs.
A night passed, and Chen Shaoyou did not stop at all.
At this time, Chen Shaoyou felt that his legs were unusually heavy, and his feet also came out of the blood blisters.
But he didn't give up, seeing Lin Ping was his greatest wish.
Gradually it was dawn, and Chen Shaoyou had been walking all night. The distant school gradually appeared in Chen Shaoyou's eyes.
Chen Shaoyou shook his teeth, and he sped up and walked towards the school.
When he came to the gate of the school, the security guard at the gate stopped Chen Shaoyou.
The security guard looked at Chen Shaoyou with disdain, and the security guard said, "Stinky beggar, this is not the place where you came, if you don't leave, I'm welcome!" ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "I'm looking for Lin Ping!" ”
The security guard was surprised: "Lin Ping? Who are you? ”
Chen Shaoyou pondered for a moment, and Chen Shaoyou said, "I am Lin Ping's brother." ”
For security guards, the name Lin Ping is not unfamiliar, and boys from other schools often come to Lin Ping.
The security guard looked at Chen Shaoyou in surprise and said, "Come in and make a record." ”
After registering, Chen Shaoyou entered the campus.
At this time, Lin Ping was standing with a handsome teenager, and the teenager admired Lin Ping's moving curves up and down.
The young man secretly said in his heart: "This Lin Ping is really beautiful, I've been chasing it for a long time, and I don't know when I can really get started!" ”
Thinking of this, his gaze stared at Lin Ping's seductive figure even more evilly.
Lin Ping said flatteringly: "Zhang Shao, I will be your person sooner or later." Don't worry, let me get ready again! ”
Zhang Shao proudly took Lin Ping's hand and smiled even more obscenely.
Chen Shaoyou walked in front of the two at this time and watched Lin Ping holding Zhang Shao's hand. Chen Shaoyou felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt that his heart was about to break.
Zhang Shao and Lin Ping also saw Chen Shaoyou at this time, and Zhang Shao said secretly: "Where did the weird beggar come from?" ”
Lin Ping was a little flustered, in her opinion, if she could enter the Zhang family, her fate would be rewritten, but she never expected Chen Shaoyou to appear here.
Chen Shaoyou said in a slightly trembling voice: "Sister Ping! ”
Lin Ping was so angry when she heard the word Pingmei, Lin Ping said angrily: "Shut up! Pingmei is also your name? ”
Lin Ping sneered: "Look at your own virtue, people are not ghosts, toads want to eat swan meat, I think you might as well die!" ”
These words were like steel needles, piercing Chen Shaoyou's heart fiercely. Chen Shaoyou couldn't imagine how that lovely Pingmei could hurt him so much.
Zhang Shao seemed to understand the general situation, and Zhang Shao said to Lin Ping: "Do you know him?" ”
Lin Ping said coldly: "It's my father's stinky migrant worker who pesters me every day!" ”
Zhang Shao looked at Chen Shaoyou, and Zhang Shao said: "People want to know their own weight, just because you also want to pursue Lin Ping?" ”
Lin Ping sneered: "People who earn ninety yuan a day, please don't pester me in the future!" ”
Zhang Shao laughed when he heard this, and he ripped off Chen Shaoyou's cloak.
After seeing Chen Shaoyou's appearance, Zhang Shaoyou was startled at first.
Then, Zhang Shao laughed. He seemed to be laughing a little hysterical.
Zhang Shao smiled: "It turns out that not only does it earn less, but it is still a deformity!" Haha laughed at me! ”
For the burst of sunlight, losing the protection of the cloak, Chen Shaoyou squatted down, and he hugged his head tightly with both hands.
Zhang Shao and Lin Ping's words have completely broken the last barrier in Chen Shaoyou's heart.
Chen Shaoyou's brain was blank at this time.
Gradually, there were more and more people around to watch the excitement, and they surrounded Chen Shaoyou in the center.
Everyone pointed at Chen Shaoyou and made irresponsible remarks.
At this time, Chen Shaoyou couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
The bell rang, and everyone gradually disappeared in front of Chen Shaoyou. Until the last person is also gone.
Chen Shaoyou was still blank at this time, and he had a splitting headache.
Chen Shaoyou picked up the cloak and brought it up.
He staggered out the door.
In the dormitory, Chen Shaoyou gradually came back to his senses.
Although Lin Ping humiliated him fiercely, Lin Ping's lingering figure was in his mind.
Tears flowed down, this was one of the few tears that Chen Shaoyou shed.
Chen Shaoyou put on his cloak and walked towards the office of production manager Lao Zhou.
Chen Shaoyou began to hate himself and hate his incompetence.
He naively thought that as long as he earned enough, he could redeem Lin Ping, and the words "people who earn ninety a day" lingered in his mind.
Chen Shaoyou pushed open Lao Zhou's door, and Lao Zhou was on the phone at this time.
He didn't pay attention to Chen Shaoyou, and Lao Zhou said: "Why is there a shortage of scaffolding workers?" ”
A faint voice came from the other side of the phone, and after a sigh, Lao Zhou hung up the phone.
Lao Zhou looked at Chen Shaoyou, and Lao Zhou said, "What do you say?" ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "Which type of job earns the most?" Manager Zhou. ”
Lao Zhou said: "His grandmother's, the scaffolding worker earns the most!" Three hundred a day! ”
Chen Shaoyou said: "I don't work as an electrician anymore, I want to work as a scaffolding worker!" ”
Lao Zhou frowned slightly, and Lao Zhou said: "The scaffolding worker earns a lot, but it is also the most dangerous!" Young man, have you thought about it? ”
Chen Shaoyou nodded vigorously.
Lao Zhou said: "Okay! Tomorrow you go to the erection class to report, three hundred a day! ”
