Time flies, a few months have passed in a blink of an eye, the time has come to the twelfth lunar month, and the Spring Festival of the new year is approaching.

In December, there has been heavy snow in Yanjing, and the temperature has reached more than 10 degrees below zero, and people can only feel the warmth of spring in the heated house.

Maybe it's because the weather is too cold, maybe it's because the Spring Festival is approaching, and there are very few pedestrians on the streets at night. Occasionally, I saw a few pedestrians also wearing thick down jackets, wrapping their bodies like a big dumpling, hurrying around their long necks.

In an Internet café not far from Yenching University, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman in a red down jacket is holding a USB flash drive and plugging it into the USB port of her computer. After a while, the computer didn't seem to respond, the woman took out the USB flash drive, reinserted it, and after repeating it several times, the woman shouted loudly in the direction of the bar:

"Network manager, come on, this machine qì USB socket can't be used......"

"Hey, it's coming......" A man walked quickly when he heard the voice, but it was Ye Lingtian.

I have been coming to Yenching University for a semester, and the Spring Festival will be in a few days.

In order to reduce the burden on his family, when he first came to Yanjing, Ye Lingtian only brought enough tuition fees for registration, and left all the rest of the money to his mother. Soon after the start of school, Ye Lingtian found a job as a night network administrator in this Internet café, working from 8 pm to 8 am the next morning, with a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan.

The Internet café is not large, with a total of about 100 computers. The boss's surname is Zhao, he is a fat man in his thirties, although he has a sleek face, but his heart is quite good. Seeing that Ye Lingtian had to rush back to school to go to class in the morning, he allowed Ye Lingtian to get off work at seven o'clock in the morning, and he could take a nap in the second half of the night when there were few customers.

Ye Lingtian took the woman's USB flash drive and tried the socket in front of the computer a few times, but it really didn't work, so he said to the woman: "The front can't be plugged in, you stand up, I'll plug it in from the back and try it." ”

The people next to him turned their heads to look at them when they heard this, and several young people even coaxed them with bad intentions: "Yes, yes, plug it in from behind, you can't see that buddy also likes that posture?"

The woman was already a little unhappy when she heard Ye Lingtian's words, and she was even more angry when she was coaxed by the young man, and said angrily: "Hey, how can you talk?"

Of course, Ye Lingtian also reacted that his words were wrong, and hurriedly explained with a red face: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that......"

"What do you mean?" the woman was a little unforgiving, and her voice raised a few degrees.

"I mean, the USB port on the front of the computer may be broken, I'll try the USB port on the back of the computer for you, but please let me go. Ye Lingtian continued to explain, who called his previous words too vague and easy to make people ambiguous.

"Tell it clearly!" As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's mobile phone rang, she took out her mobile phone and looked at the number to answer the sound, and at the end she didn't forget to glare at Ye Lingtian fiercely, so she kicked her legs and slid back with a chair to make way for Ye Lingtian, but she didn't stand up.

Helping the woman plug in the USB flash drive, Ye Lingtian said sorry a few more times before returning to the cash register. A little after nine o'clock, it is the time when the Internet café has the most customers, turning on the QQ to surf the Internet, checking out and getting off the machine, and buying cigarettes and snacks, so that the cashier Xiao Chen is very busy. When Ye Lingtian was fine, he came over to help Xiao Chen take care of it, and took a hand from time to time.

"Xiao Ye, what happened just now?" Xiao Chen asked busily, after all, it is not a good thing to have an argument with a customer.

Ye Lingtian took out a bag of white sand from his coat pocket, took out one and lit it, took a hard breath, and said a little depressedly: "No, it's nothing, it's just that I didn't pay attention when I spoke, I have already apologized to her." ”

I have to go to class during the day and work all night at night, and even if I can sleep for a few hours every day, it is not so easy. The environment has changed people, Ye Lingtian, who had never smoked before, has now learned to smoke, and lighting one when he is mentally tired can also effectively expel some tiredness.

Before a cigarette was finished, the entire Internet café suddenly fell into darkness, and after a moment of silence, there was a burst of shouting and scolding in the Internet café, and some timid MM also let out one or two screams at the wrong time, and the Internet café was suddenly in chaos.

"There's a power outage!"

Ye Lingtian quickly looked outside the window and found that it was also dark outside the window, and realized that it was not the Internet café circuit that was faulty.

took out a flashlight from his pocket and quickly ran to the corner to turn on the emergency power supply, the Internet café was temporarily bright, and he took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhao Fatzi's phone to tell him about the power outage. Most customers started to check out and got off the plane, and a few were still waiting for a call. ,

After more than ten minutes, the Internet café was much clearer, and only one or twenty people were still sitting in their seats and waiting, and from time to time there were one or two rude scoldings.

These people usually play games all night in Internet cafes, sleep in the house during the day, and at night when they are full of energy, and now the power suddenly goes out, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them.

Not long after, Zhao Fatzi entered the door panting, and his face was a little flushed. Zhao Fatzi's house is not far from the Internet café, and it takes about ten minutes to walk. It is estimated that Zhao Fatzi was in a hurry, and climbed to the Internet café on the second floor, and his anger was a little unsmooth.

Leaning on the bar, Zhao Fatzi raised his voice and shouted: "I called a brother from the power bureau just now and asked, saying that the big transformer at the intersection in front of me burned out, and if it is repaired, it will have to wait for tomorrow at the earliest." Everyone is scattered, and there is no drama tonight. ”

After speaking, he turned to Ye Lingtian and said, "Xiao Ye, the Internet café can't be open tonight, you should hurry back and take a good rest!"

"Okay, then I'll go back to school first. Thinking that he could finally sleep beautifully, Ye Lingtian couldn't help but feel good.

Back in the dormitory building of Yenching University, it had been a few days off at this time, and now there was only Ye Lingtian alone in the entire dormitory building. Before the holiday, Ye Lingtian had already thought about not going home during the Spring Festival, and he also called Yang Sulan. Not to mention that the fare for this round trip will cost a lot, and it will cost you less than a month's salary, which is really not cost-effective.

The last time Director Wang returned to the county, he reported to Secretary Cheng, and Secretary Cheng was also shocked when he learned about the situation at Ye Lingtian's family, and immediately instructed Director Wang to solve a contract system for Yang Sulan and arrange to work in the canteen of the town middle school. Although the salary is not high, it is still more than the income from planting that little land before, which can be regarded as solving a worry for Ye Lingtian.

Go to the bathroom and fill the electric kettle with water and plug it in, ready to soak your feet and sleep beautifully.

PS: When a newcomer opens a book, no matter how well it is written, he will stick to the end of the book. If you like it, you can collect it with confidence.

The time before the year is limited, and there is only a time code word at night, but there are absolutely two more changes per day, and there should be more time after the New Year.
