night.
The tall buildings in City A are brightly lit with neon lights, the wide streets are crowded with traffic, and well-dressed white-collar workers are hurriedly shuttling between subway stations and bus workshops.
Away from the bustling suburbs, the flow of people is gradually decreasing. Here, there are roadside stalls and street shops that are more popular than the Western hot pot in big shopping malls.
In addition to eggs and a few slices of lean meat, fried vermicelli for 12 yuan a piece, noodle soup only costs 9 yuan, fast food for 15 yuan a piece is enough to satisfy you, and you can also buy sauce-flavored pancakes for 3 yuan a piece.
It was getting dark, and the white-collar workers after get off work had just arrived near the rental house, ready to have a casual meal. The number of customers at "Luo's Fast Food Restaurant" increased, and the family began to get busy.
Luo's mother was cooking in the back, and Luo's father was selling meat in the store. The eldest daughter Luo Lan was scolding her second daughter Luo Yushu who was standing aside to clean up, "How many times have I told you, don't put this bowl away like this? You Is it pig brain?”
Luo Yushu lowered her eyes and said nothing. Before she put the bowl in the bucket, she was suddenly pushed aside by Roland, who looked impatient and said, "Don't cause trouble, hurry up and serve the food."
"Um."
Luo Yushu walked to the kitchen, and behind her came Roland's voice complaining to Luo's father, "Look at her, she's lifeless, she can't do anything. I told her not to let her go to school. I'm so stupid just reading."
Luo Yushu seemed to be used to it and didn't have the energy to pay attention to it. She retracted her hand slightly and did not refute.
"Okay." Luo's father saw the guest and stopped him.
Roland vented her displeasure by throwing the bowls and chopsticks into the bucket, making a violent clanging sound.
"Uncle, I want a piece of fried vegetables and fifteen pieces of duck meat." A thin young man walked into the store and said to Luo's mother.
"It's a little late to get off work today." Luo's father said with a smile. As he spoke, he skillfully put the duck meat on the scale and waved the kitchen knife to cut the meat.
"Yes, I have been working overtime recently to catch up on projects." The young man replied, with a look of exhaustion on his face.
"Pack it out or eat here?" Luo's father pulled the white plastic bag, put it on the iron plate, raised his head and asked.
The young man sighed, "Pack it. After dinner, go to bed. This place is far from the company and I have to get up early tomorrow. Pack me some soup. Thank you, uncle."
"Okay!" Father Luo put the meat on the iron plate in a few seconds, lifted the plastic bag up, looped it a few times and tied it with a knot, threw it aside, then pulled off another plastic bag and started packing the sauce, " The food has to be fried right now, so you have to wait for a while.”
"Pack a soup, right?" Roland walked over quickly, his expression completely different from before, with a smile on his face, "I'll pack it for you."
"Thank you." The young man was quite handsome and adjusted his glasses.
Luo Yushu took out the dishes from the kitchen and put them on the uncle's table in the corner. Roland said to her, "Pack a vegetable and ask mom not to put the chili pepper." After that, she said to the young man, "I remember you." Southerners don’t eat chili peppers, and my mother remembers that.”
The young man smiled shyly in the face of her warmth and thanked her again.
"I know." Luo Yushu walked to the freezer, took down a plastic basket from above, and started to get vegetables.
Roland still smiled and said to the young man, "It will take a while, it will be fine soon."
The young man was not good at words, so he nodded and walked out. Roland looked at Luo Yushu who was carrying the dishes to the kitchen, and complained to Luo's father, "She hasn't spoken since she came back yesterday. She is like a mute. Let me see, she is taking the postgraduate entrance examination." Just to escape and not want to work.”
"Others have been working for half a year, but she just wants to support you and mom. She takes money from home for free. She didn't pass the postgraduate entrance examination. Who knows if she is taking the exam? Or she is deliberately hiding it and spending it on living expenses."
"Besides, how old will she be when she graduates from graduate school? She won't be able to find a job by then, and she has spent three years of money in vain. What's the use of studying? I don't know if she can get married."
Luo's father frowned, and Roland said harsh words again, "You and mom just wait to harm her. If you can't find a job, everyone will laugh at you and our whole family."
After saying this, she walked aside again. When she saw Luo Yushu coming out, she suddenly became angry, turned around and walked aside, not forgetting to ask, "Are you ready to stir-fry the vegetables?"
"Mom is cooking." Luo Yushu brought the dishes to the guests and then turned to the kitchen. She walked to the stairs, took out the silent mobile phone in her pocket, and opened the chat interface.
Above is a long paragraph she sent, but Ji Huai didn't reply a word. If you scroll up, she is basically the one doing the talking, and he doesn’t reply very promptly. Sometimes he replies after a few hours, sometimes he replies the next day, or he doesn’t reply at all.
No matter what she said, his explanation was that he was busy, very busy, really tired, or he would just reply with one or two words.
Luo Yushu's eyes were filled with disappointment, but she still couldn't help but want to ask him if he had eaten. Just as he was about to type, Luo Lan came over from the store. When he saw this, he scolded him coldly, "The store is very busy, and you are hiding here to play." The customers are waiting on their mobile phones, are the vegetables ready?!"
"I'll go take a look." Luo Yushu put away her phone and trotted towards the kitchen.
"If you don't contribute anything to the family, you can't do anything." Roland emphasized again, and said with disgust and disgust, "A nerd."
Luo Yushu brought out the fried vegetables and stepped aside. Roland smiled and helped the young man pack them. The young man took the food and thanked him, then walked through the back door to the stairs and went upstairs.
After nine o'clock, there were gradually fewer people.
Roland was sitting in the restaurant, scrolling through his cell phone out of boredom, calling it a visit to the store. Luo's mother started cleaning the kitchen, Luo's father cleaned up, and Luo Yushu was washing dishes in the alley.
The water was very cold on this day, and she was still shivering from the cold even though she was wearing thick gloves, but her face was expressionless. After washing the dishes, she went to clean again, desperately looking for work, and her thoughts would wander when she stopped.
Seeing her like this, Luo's father swallowed back his original words. Seeing that Roland had already gone upstairs, he just sighed and said to her, "If you don't pass the exam, find a job. College students can't stay at home. The neighbors will gossip. Young people go out." See the world more, and if you don’t have money, just tell dad.”
The Luo family is a local, and they were lucky in the early years. Luo's father worked for others, but the boss had no money to settle the bill, so he gave him this small piece of land on the outskirts of the city to pay off the debt, and he built a four-story building with the money he had saved all his life. A small restaurant is opened on the first floor, the second and third floors are rented out, and the family lives on the fourth floor.
There are three rooms on the first floor. If you rent one room for 1,000 yuan and rent out five rooms, it will be considered as an income. In addition to the two sisters, the Luo family also has a younger son who has just entered college and is admitted to a good school. The youngest son is a treasure in the palm of his hand. He has never endured hardships. He dresses fashionably and is a very good spender.
The eldest daughter Roland did not study and wanted to drop out of junior high school. He took a small sum of money to open a shop for her, but he took the money and ran off with a gangster. Later he came back dejected, with a strong and bad temper.
The second daughter Luo Yushu can read, but she is not good at speaking. The couple is a bit patriarchal. They were disappointed when they gave birth to their second daughter, and soon gave birth to a younger son. They somewhat didn’t care about the second child. They were backward in thinking and could not be said to be excellent parents. , but not too bad, just so-so.
"Looking for a job." Luo Yushu whispered back, silently walking to the kitchen again, and then went upstairs when he saw that there was no hope.
Luo's mother also noticed that she was unusual and quietly asked Luo's father, "What's wrong with this child?"
The two of them murmured and didn't know what they said. She quickened her pace upstairs and gradually stopped listening.
The fourth floor has two rooms and one living room. One room is occupied by Luo's father and mother, and the other is occupied by his youngest son, Luo Hong. There is a single room separated from the living room with a double bed. Roland and Luo Yushu used to live together, but now Roland I didn't want to live with her, so I went to live in a single room downstairs.
The cubicle was very small, only big enough for a bed, a wardrobe and a desk, but she was very satisfied that she finally had her own small space, no matter how crowded it was.
She had been bullied and scolded since she was a child. No one in this family seemed to care about her existence. Except for Roland, who was jealous of her going to college, no one treated her too badly. She grew up as stubbornly as a weed.
She lay on the bed, wondering how many sleepless nights this was.
At two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock, and five o'clock in the middle of the night, my heart rate was irregular, my breathing was short, and then I had a splitting headache. I still couldn't sleep. I hid in the bed and cried for no reason.
Ji Huai looked at the phone over and over again, but Ji Huai still didn't reply to her. The sky turned white and it was dawn.
Luo's mother and Luo's father went to buy ingredients early in the morning. The chicken and duck were prepared and delivered by small vendors, and the profit was small. They had to make small dishes such as large intestine, pig's trotters, salted fish and pickled vegetables by themselves, and they also had to wash and cook. There was a lot to do.
Luo Yushu went downstairs to help. Luo's father asked her to have breakfast first and told her that there was noodle soup on the table. She hurried to finish eating and then washed vegetables in the alley. As she was taking the washed and cut sauerkraut to the kitchen, she heard Roland said to Luo's parents and Luo's mother, "I asked you not to let her go to college and start working early, but you didn't listen to me. How are you now? She has become stupid with reading. She can't find a job after going to college. It's better. Not on."
As soon as Roland finished speaking, he saw Luo Yushu coming out with dishes. He felt a little guilty after all. He thought that the other party was going to question him. Even Luo's father and mother were embarrassed and tried desperately to think of how to stop it, but they didn't expect Luo Yushu to say anything. Without saying anything, he silently put the dishes in the freezer and walked back.
Luo Yushu's mood was fluctuating. This was the first time she knew about this matter. She didn't expect that Roland would be vicious enough to prevent her from going to school.
yes.
What's the use of going to college? She couldn't pass the postgraduate entrance examination and it was hard to find a job. Her self-confidence was also shaken now and she didn't want to argue.
Seeing that she was silent, Roland continued, "If college students can't find a job, serve the dishes and make people laugh."
Luo's father saw that she was talking too much and stopped her slightly.
Roland felt it was unfair and felt aggrieved. He made a fuss and said, "Did I say something wrong? Last month she said she was looking for a job, but she hasn't found one yet. It's useless to study. It's all in vain."
"She won't go to school just to fall in love, will she? She will be lazy when working at home, chatting with men on her mobile phone, what kind of work shouldn't I do? She just comes back on weekends to show off."
"How tired am I? Has she contributed anything? Why is it that I am the one at home? I am the one who suffers and suffers. Parents, you just love her and your little brother. No one wants me. I deserve to suffer and suffer. The boss deserves to be bullied. Just bully me, am I not your child? Did I pick you up?"
As she spoke, she felt extremely aggrieved. When she looked at Luo Yushu, she gritted her teeth and wiped away tears.
Luo's father had a headache and was afraid that the situation would continue, so he had no choice but to let her vent her anger and abuse. Luo's mother also advised her to say less and just make peace.
at this time.
In another rental house on the outskirts of the city.
Ji Jianhui was cleaning when Cai Zhen walked to the hut and knocked on the door: "Xiao Huai, get up and have breakfast."
After a while, Ji Huai opened the door, with a chicken coop on his head and a groggy look in his eyes, "Mom, I finally had a rest, can you let me rest more?"
"Mom made breakfast and heated it up for a while. Not eating breakfast will hurt your stomach." Cai Zhen said softly.
Ji Huaimin licked his lips and walked to the bathroom. After washing up, he went out to eat breakfast and took a bite of vermicelli. "Mom, the taste is a bit bland."
"Mom, let me get you some soy sauce." Cai Zhen hurriedly walked aside.
"No, I'll get it." Ji Huai said, standing up and walking to the kitchen with long legs.
Cai Zhen stood aside, feeling a little guilty as she explained, "Mom just put in less salt. She was afraid it would be too salty. It is not good to eat too salty."
"Yes." Ji Huai nodded to express his understanding.
"Go and have a rest after breakfast." Cai Zhen said, pointing to the table, "Mom bought pears, they are cheap and sweet, I will eat one at a time."
Ji Huai "I'll eat in the afternoon."
Cai Zhen sat aside and thought for a moment before saying, "Is the work very hard? Has your boss made things difficult for you? Are your colleagues easy to get along with?"
"No, it's pretty good." Ji Huai said, eating some noodles again, and after a while he said in a depressed tone, "I feel like it's useless to go to college. Everyone relies on connections. The leader has several relatives, but it doesn't matter. Work hard. Well, I’m about to graduate now and I have to work hard to earn money to support you, otherwise what’s the use of supporting me?”
Hearing this, Cai Zhen looked sad and helpless. Ji Jianguo hurriedly came over and said to him, "Take your time, how much money can young people earn? Your mother and I can support ourselves. Although we don't earn much, But I also save money for you and save it for you to buy a house and get married."
"How much money can you save? House prices are high, just keep it for your own retirement. I'm not that unfilial." Ji Huai emphasized seriously, his words were very filial, "I don't want to suck blood and feed my old age. I'll get married if I can. The other party will look down on me." I’ll forget it, I have to marry someone who treats you well, otherwise I won’t get married.”
"What does it mean to suck blood and gnaw on the elderly?" Cai Zhen disagreed with this statement, "This is what parents should do. It's all for you, don't think so."
After Ji Huai finished eating the noodles, she quickly stood up and took the bowl from Ji Huai's hand, "Mom, wash it."
He didn't refuse and sat down again.
Ji Jianguo talked to him earnestly again. When it came to how much money he still had at home, if he saved a few years, he could get 300,000 yuan for him. He asked him not to be burdened. Ji Huai said he didn't want to hear it and took out the money from the house. Buy a top in a smaller size and give it to Ji Jianguo to try on.
The other party felt distressed and asked him to go back, but he refused and walked back to the room. "There will be overtime pay for overtime work tomorrow. I want to work overtime and earn more money. I will go to bed first."
Cai Zhen followed him and helped him take out the clothes in the room to wash for him.
As soon as the door closed, the couple always felt ashamed of their son, and they were discussing whether they could make more money and save more on daily meals. They wished they could help their son deal with all the trivial matters in life.
On the bed inside the house.
Ji Huai put his hands behind his head and looked at the cracked and moldy ceiling. Regarding the discussion coming from outside, he knew what was being said without even listening.
Even if he says that he doesn't want it any more and all the money will be his in the end, he still has to say it nicely to make people willing to pay.
Ji's father and Ji's mother were from other provinces and brought him here to do hard work. Both of them were old scalpers and devoted their lives to him. Although their family was not rich, he had a good life.
He had no worries about food and clothing. He was not a good student at first, but when he met Luo Yushu, she helped him with his classes and he actually enrolled in a prestigious local school.
He has been a little smart since he was a child. It was not popular to say ua at the time, but when he looked at himself later, he discovered that wasn't he the kind of person he was? Any five-step method, whether it is suppressing isolated tracking or creating a character for a fee, are all weak.
Master ua, who is completely natural, must moisturize things silently.
To put it bluntly, he is a person who is born with emotional indifference and refined egoism. Everything serves his personal interests. He approaches Luo Yushu with purpose and pursues it wholeheartedly because he wants to become a study boy and wants her to help him make up lessons. With her, Got a major degree.
When I went to college, I had to fall in love. Luo Yushu was not bad looking, with some flesh and white flesh. Men are still thinking animals with their lower body. They will greet her and do their best to meet her needs. They will care for her unconditionally. They will have a relationship soon and have a fixed sexual partner.
He was so good to her that he could deceive himself, just get a new toy, this toy has a freshness period. And he is such a good judge of people. If he buys something for Luo Yushu, the other party will pay double the amount, and he will also rush to pay the bill when eating. When he wants to change his mobile phone, he only needs to mention it accidentally before her birthday, and then give her a bargain. gift, the other party can buy it for him in installments next time.
He first came into contact with Luo Yushu because she was good at studying. He liked people who were good at studying. He admired and cared for her. Soon, he also passed the exam. Studying in college was not important, and he liked her body. After playing with her body for several years, he got tired of it. , when a woman follows him wholeheartedly, she is no longer interested.
Why deliberately suppress? It's very shameless. He only needs to suppress her unintentionally and in a moderate manner. He also needs to use both soft and hard tactics to keep her swaying from side to side and constantly on the edge of collapse.
If the shortcomings are magnified and the advantages are minimized, what you get is not an advantage. Arrogant and arrogant, he never affirmed Luo Yushu in his heart. Of course, not just her, he never affirmed anyone.
As a sophisticated egoist, he is terrible because he will get into trouble. If he wants to get a big deal, he will suffer a small loss. In the eyes of his friends, he is humorous, sunny and cheerful, loves to laugh, is informal, has a good skin, and is a bit clever. ,Good at studying.
The most important point is that he will reflect and look inside. He will control the cost investment in the early stage and slowly recover it in the later stage. He can adjust the strategy in a timely manner. He is too precocious and indifferent and selfish. He is born to be strong, and he still has some requirements for himself, but is even more demanding for others. Those who cannot satisfy his appetite, or those who have been eaten, will be thrown away and discarded.
He spent his life looking for a "provider." The first one is his parents. Cai Zhen and Ji Jianguo have lived for him all their lives. They worked hard to save money to buy him a house. He will marry another "provider" to bear children for him, and his parents will take care of the children and him. He continues to devote his surplus labor to his wife's life and works as a fertility machine. The second "provider" was Luo Yushu, who helped him get into college, served as his sexual partner in college, helped him save money, and spent a lot of money on him. During this period, he will work hard and make progress, improve himself, and love her with all his heart. When he improves, this "provider" will also be drained of blood. There is nothing that interests him and he should throw it away. .
After leaving society, the next "provider" should appear.
But he didn't expect that he would run into trouble when he lost her. Cold violence was the best way to resolve a breakup. He was no longer interested in her affairs. He was indifferent and ignored. This was in contrast to his careful care before. Luo Yushu couldn't understand it and was tormented by him. I had to be cautious and humble, and spent a long time thinking about what he said, and my mind was in a trance.
In fact, how can there be so much speculation? She just has no interest and no value. If she's in a good mood, just reply. If she's in a bad mood, she can't be bothered to deal with her. Just break up quickly. No more affirmation of her. Unintentional indifference is the best way to suppress her.
Luo Yushu failed the postgraduate entrance examination and was ridiculed by Roland. She was deceived many times when looking for a job. Life was very tiring. He gave her too much light and pushed her into the abyss with his own hands. After Roland slandered and cursed her for the last time, the overwhelmed Luo Yushu finally jumped off the building.
There was no way of knowing whether he had depression or not. This shocked him. Reporters intervened in the interview. He became famous in school and lost his job. After all, he was young and still very scared. He hid in other provinces and gradually Forget about it and start living again.
His life is not a rough one, and "providers" will always appear. Otherwise, he will cast a wide net. As long as he works hard to save face, there will always be someone who cheats him into getting married and having a child. After a long time, the other party will notice it, but he will what else can we do? He couldn't be said to be good, but he wasn't bad either. He just lived like this, being sucked and squeezed by him.
At the beginning, you have to praise the other party a little higher, and then slowly make demands after you win. Sometimes you don't need to make demands, just show that you are unhappy, or pretend to take the pressure on yourself, and someone will always share it. This seems to be a game. He is the ultimate player, constantly dabbling to plunder more things that he is interested in and has not yet owned.
Cai Zhen finally got cancer. In order not to burden him, he went home without treatment. Ji Jianhui also agreed. After Cai Zhen died, Ji Jianhui continued to use the remaining value and saved hundreds of thousands for him before he died of the disease.
He won't feel bad. Things of no value should be "thrown away". He is used to others dedicating themselves to him. No matter how good he is at saving face, only he knows that there is no fluctuation in his heart.
Later, he studied himself and found that he had more or less personality defects, was born predatory, was a bit smart and ruthless, and did not love others from the bottom of his heart. All his actions were to please himself, and he was just a "lucky" poor person.
In view of his emotional barriers, the system injected a touch of warmth into him.
"Ding."
Luo Yushu sent Ji Huai another message on his cell phone on the table, "Are you awake?"
You can tell from her words that her posture is very humble.
"Hmm." He typed.
Seeing his response, Luo Yushu quickly sent a message, "I'm in a bad mood, can I call you?"
After the transmission was successful, she held the phone with anxiety and stared at the screen, her heart beating rapidly.
The other one replied "I'm going to sleep."
Her eyes suddenly dimmed, and the fingers holding the phone turned white with strength.
"Buzzing." The phone vibrated.
Why is Ji Huai in a bad mood
