Maybe it’s because of what happened today.
That night, Duan Jiaxu had a dream.
He dreamed that he received an admission letter from Nanwu University, and that one week before reporting, the money that his mother Xu Ruoshu had prepared for him to go to college was snatched away by those so-called "creditors."
I dreamed about that night.
The family's house had been sold long ago. They rented a one-bedroom apartment, with Xu Ruoshu sleeping in the bedroom and he sleeping in the living room.
Duan Jiaxu found several tutoring and part-time jobs during the summer vacation and came home very late every day.
That day, when he returned home, he heard Xu Ruoshu talking on the phone.
She was talking on the phone to her uncle, a relative who had helped her a lot when he saw her raising her child alone.
The telephone is in the living room.
Duan Jiaxu saw Xu Ruoshu dial the phone and greet the other party. Then, she smiled and said slowly, "Brother, my Ah Xu was admitted to Nanwu University."
After saying this, she fell silent, as if she found it difficult to speak, and did not say another word.
But everything I wanted to say seemed to be released from this sentence.
It can't be hidden.
Nanwu University, what a great university.
My son was admitted to such a good university.
But I have no money.
I didn't keep the money he earned from working part-time so he could go to college.
I want him to go to school.
Can you lend me a few thousand dollars
The next moment, the uncle's scolding voice came from the phone. The receiver was not good, and the sound was noisy. When he spoke, it spread throughout the living room. "Do you have any shame? Are you in trouble? What obligation do I have to help you? I have children to raise and I have to live. Fuck you who borrow money all the time."
Duan Jiaxu immediately walked over, took the phone from her hand and hung up.
The room became quiet.
Xu Ruoshu was stunned for a long while, then suddenly covered her eyes, cried out, and murmured repeatedly, "Mom, I'm sorry, Mom, I'm sorry."
Before junior high school, Duan Jiaxu had never lacked money.
So he never felt how important money was.
But when the reality of the problem comes down.
Only then did he realize that money could bring about tremendous changes in a person in just a few years.
Duan Jiaxu watched as his once bright and confident mother gradually became overwhelmed by these things and became timid and self-deprecating. Under the influence of these things, she also fell seriously ill and aged rapidly.
Then, Duan Jiaxu saw it.
At that time, I, who had just become an adult, squatted in front of Xu Ruoshu and looked up at her. He curled his lips and said to her with a smile, "Mom, do you believe me? I can earn back all this money in the future."
""
"You don't have to borrow money from others anymore. I can make money on my own, and I can support you." The young man said gently, "I can let you live the good life you had before."
""
so.
Please wait a little longer, okay
Duan Jiaxu woke up from his dream.
It was still dark in the room. He lost his sleepiness, got up and left the room, went to the living room to get a glass of water, and then took two ice cubes from the refrigerator and threw them in.
It was just after three in the morning.
Duan Jiaxu stood by the dining table and picked up his phone to scan it. The only new message he saw was the blocked group chat and Qian Fei going crazy in the WeChat group.
