Chapter 231: Hunger and Cold
Lao Wang roared loudly in the next room angrily, Zi Yang lay on the bed and silently staring at the ceiling and thinking about his thoughts.
After Lao Wang came back, he did not go to school to report, but went to Ye Beili's school to find her, preparing to "renew her relationship". As a result, he ran to the student office and tangled for a long time, but was told that "there was no such person."
Lao Wang had a temper and thought that someone was lying to him, so he made a big fuss about the student's office, and almost started fighting with someone. If the other party hadn't called the school police, he might have continued to roll on the ground in the office.
After returning, Lao Wang became more and more angry as he thought about it. He always felt that he had been deceived by the admissions office and was extremely depressed. He threw the pot and bowl in the room. He cursed and tossed for a long time, which scared Xiao Hei so much that he held the game console and did not dare to let go, for fear that his life would be smashed by the crazy Brother Wang.
Zi Yang kept silent and didn't mess with him, letting him make trouble.
At this time, Zi Yang was not in the mood to take care of Lao Wang during the estrus period, and he had more troubles in his heart to be solved urgently.
After returning to H City, in order to pay the rent and prepare for living expenses, the two of them pieced together to borrow money from their classmates. Basically, the people who were a little in love were harassed by the two of them. Lao Wang even plundered several hundred yuan from Teacher Li and finally paid the rent for the next three months.
After paying the water, electricity and gas fee, the remaining money is not enough to even have a meal of rice drizzled.
Zi Yang was so worried that his eyes were straight when walking, and he had already begun to seriously consider going to the vegetable market to pick up vegetables and leaves.
After returning to China, Jin Guoqiang and A Chong did not contact them anymore, and even Su Rui lost the news - Zi Yang knew that although his life was "hard", it was nothing compared to their "sword and sword" world.
But they can't survive these "dirty" days for a few days. If they can't think of a way to make money, they will soon be hungry and cold.
These days, Zi Yang has also carefully thought about the relationship with Su Rui.
After calming down, I felt that it was impossible to get along with Su Rui. The simplest and most realistic point: people face various scientific research projects every day, and they participate in projects that cost tens of millions of millions of dollars. They face daily food, rice, oil and salt, and bargain with the vendor for a few kilograms of rice for half a day.
Not from the same world at all.
Put the relationship aside first, no matter what, life still needs to continue.
Zi Yang contacted the school's work-study office, and then asked several seniors for help, gave him a lot of smiles, said countless good things, and finally got some opportunities to work off-campus.
After all this trouble, Zi Yang felt more and more humble in his life. No matter how noble his sentiment was, he could not resist having to bow his back for five dou of rice.
As a child from a poor family, Zi Yang is more precocious than his peers. Although he yearns for the passionate romantic love, he already understands this reality deep in his heart: love is not a vow of love, but a trivial matter of life.
The days ahead will be quite hard.
Zi Yang went to the "famous" used car repair market (where all the stolen bicycles in the city are concentrated) and spent 100 yuan to buy 80% of the new car. He rode his bicycle on the streets and alleys to distribute flyers, push products from door to door, and conduct market research with the old man and the aunt on the street... Although this kind of work is not much profit, every labor has a real gain.
This kind of days lasted for more than ten days.
At first, Zi Yang worked by himself, but later Lao Wang and Xiao Hei were forced to go out to work together by him. Zi Yang consciously took on the responsibility of supervising the worker. He drove everyone out at dawn, and Mo Mo Hei was released. The three of them slept in the open every day, running around the streets, and most of the money they earned paid off and a small part of the money they earned was subsidized for the family income. Although it was hard, they could at least support their life.
Every day when I get home, the three of them are so tired that they are lying in bed without moving.
It has been almost a month since I returned to school. From the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the Jiangnan city, they have gradually become accustomed to the fireworks on earth.
I live my ordinary life every day like a year. Occasionally, I will think of the adventures in the wind, frosty and snowy nights. Although they are fierce, they are quite nostalgic.
Sometimes when they come to space, the two of them will also talk about those people and those things.
"Old Li, what do you think the boss will deal with Jin Guoqiang and A Chong?" Lao Wang chewed a handful of biscuits and sprayed the biscuit foam while saying that.
"I don't know." Zi Yang chewed a handful of cookies and rolled her eyes choked.
Recently, they helped a food company to promote a newly listed biscuit. The so-called promotion means sending a small box of samples from door to door for others to taste. The things are not valuable, but they always talk to the residents for a long time. They often get a big fuss when knocking on the door, and you have to give them a smile.
There is no way, college students without work experience can only do this kind of work without technical content.
Lao Wang is a donkey-tempered person. He almost started working with the residents several times. In his own words, if it weren't for the sake of a few bad money, he would have quit. When did he suffer such a frustration?
Later, Lao Wang learned his lesson and moved all the boxes of biscuits assigned to him back home. He filled in some household information on the form and handed over it. Anyway, the inspectors would not go door to door for re-examination. Even if the re-examination was re-examination, they would not give him a good look.
In this way, these boxes of cookies helped them survive a lot of life and saved a lot of pre-meal.
But eating biscuits every day is not that bad. Eating too much will cause a thrill, and occasionally you will feel nauseous. Sometimes Zi Yang wants to vomit while eating.
Compared with physical endurance and burden of humiliation, what is even more sad is the guilt in my heart. As a principled and sentimental person, not doing the job assigned by others is a dereliction of duty, and privately hiding samples is even more untrustworthy.
"How is your brick-moving company? Can you contact me?" Zi Yang asked Lao Wang, although it was tiring to move bricks, it had a high income and did not have to be discredited every day. Compared to dealing with people, Zi Yang prefers to compete with bricks - at least bricks won't call him stupid.
"Hey, don't mention it. Something happened on the construction site. The boss owed a huge debt and ran away with his sister-in-law!"
Zi Yang tilted his head and thought carefully about the logic in this sentence.
At this time, Xiao Hei poked Zi Yang gently and pointed at the hallway.
At the bottom of the crack in the door, a white envelope appeared at some point.
Zi Yang walked over and picked it up, but there was no name written on the envelope.
Zi Yang looked at Lao Wang suspiciously: "Have you left our address for anyone?"
Lao Wang stretched his neck and shook his head: "Is it the bill for water, electricity and coal?"
"The bills are stuffed in the mailbox, how could they be stuffed in through the crack of the door!"
Zi Yang opened the envelope and there was only a piece of white paper inside. It was written neatly in regular script. There was no other marking except for the simple two lines of words.
Zi Yang looked over and over again and wondered, "Is this my prank? Apart from A Chong, Su Rui, and Jin Guoqiang, who else knows where we live?"
Lao Wang swallowed: "Professor Zhang, he must know..."
On a hot day, the two of them couldn't help but shivered together.
Professor Zhang's three words are no less than a demon and ghost in their hearts at this moment.
"He's coming to the door? I'm going to settle the score later!" Old Wang looked up in panic and looked around, as if Professor Zhang was hiding in a corner and staring at them.
Zi Yang was also frightened by what he said, "Don't scare yourself! Do you have an impression of when this envelope appeared?"
"I'm so tired every day like a dog. I can't open my eyes as soon as I enter the door. How can I care about what's on the ground?" Lao Wang said dissatisfied. In order to pay off my debts, Zi Yang has been crazily forcing them to work and work, and the degree of violence is no less than that of Zhou Papi.
Zi Yang is actually similar to him. He took a lot of work-study orders, and almost everyone came. The people who sent him to see that he was easy to talk to, and threw some orders that others didn't want to do to him - such orders are basically laborious.
Lao Wang lay on Zi Yang's shoulder and glanced at the two lines of words, and suddenly exclaimed: "Damn, I'm familiar with this place. Isn't it the place where A Chong invited us to dinner last time? It's near our school!"
Zi Yang also remembered that when she was having sex with Lao Wang in their medical school last summer, she happened to meet A Chong "catch ghosts". Later, A Chong recognized him and specially invited them to a quaint restaurant to have a meal and reminisce about the past.
"Is it A Chong?"
"But he just needs to invite us to dinner, right in H City? Why do you have to go to S City? Have you gone to our school to catch ghosts again?" Lao Wang was confused again.
"What day is today?" Zi Yang asked, looking at the date on the letter paper.
Both of them were a little confused. After looking at the calendar on the computer, they found that the date written on the letter paper was today, less than half an hour before the agreed time above.
Even if they take the fastest car from H to S, it will take at least one hour, so it will definitely be too late.
"Let's go!" Zi Yang grabbed his backpack and rushed out without saying a word.
When Lao Wang saw it, he hurriedly picked up Xiao Hei who was still playing games and chased him, "Wait for me! Damn it! Don't think of leaving me behind if someone invites me to dinner!"
The two of them got on the fastest bus. When they arrived in S City, it was already dark. Zi Yang looked at his watch and had already passed the agreed time. But he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The three of them stopped a taxi and urged the driver to run wildly along the way. The driver looked at the three dusty young men in confusion: "Are you on a mission?"
"Yes, it is related to national security. You must cooperate with us unconditionally! Hurry up, run the red light!" Lao Wang directed the driver with a serious look on his face.
"Swish!" A cool air came out of the driver's nose and stopped the car in front of the red light with disdain. People who drive taxis in big cities are knowledgeable, so how can you fool them?
Although he did not believe Lao Wang's nonsense, the driver still sent them to his destination at a rapid speed.
"Young people, no matter how anxious they are to travel, they must abide by traffic rules. They are so anxious!" The driver slowly threw down a golden and beautiful word and drove away.
Lao Wang and Zi Yang looked at each other and stepped onto the stairs.
The inconspicuous facade, when you walk into the inner hall, you will find that there is a unique world inside. There are thirty or fifty tables and chairs in the hall, with exquisite decoration and antique flavor. A living water artificial fountain in the middle of the hall was gurgling, and a huge coffee table made of old tree roots next to it, and a young woman wearing a cheongsam was fiddling with a pair of kung fu tea sets.
Everything seems familiar.
It was the peak of the evening welcoming guests, and the hall was already full of people.
"How many sirs?" the etiquette lady wearing a cheongsam asked enthusiastically.
"Oh, let's find someone..." Zi Yang held the letter paper tightly in his hand. He kept holding the paper in his hand and had already been pinched into a ball.
It's still too late, will A Chong leave?
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" The etiquette service attitude is very attentive.
"I, I don't know..." Zi Yang knew that A Chong would definitely not use his real name when booking a seat.
"We are looking for a friend. He should have booked a private room here. Well, he is neither tall nor short, thin, very handsome, wearing long-sleeved clothes, not laughing a lot, and walking without touching the ground... By the way, his eyebrows seemed to be broken from the middle..." Lao Wang said and gestured, and the waiter looked confused.
"I know who they are talking about, come with me." A beautiful woman in a suit and dressed like a foreman walked over and said.
"Okay, okay, thank you sister!" Lao Wang's mouth was quite sweet.
This hotel is really quite large, with at least a dozen private rooms.
The beautiful foreman took them to a corner and knocked on the door at the door of a suite: "Hello, sir, there are a few guests here, I don't know if they are your friends."
The foreman opened the door and saw a melancholy handsome boy sitting inside the box.
