The two of them walked from the sunset to the night.

The dim street lights barely illuminated the outline of the road. On both sides, the world without light fell into darkness.

However, Lu Ye's withered inner world now seemed like a desert that was regaining vitality and was gradually covered with colors.

They didn't know how long they had been walking, and neither of them noticed the time passing.

The open dormitory door in front of them became the final finish line of their journey.

Slowly walking up the stairs, Su Mengyao turned and looked at Lu Ye.

"I have arrived."

"Yeah." Lu Ye nodded slightly.

"Then...see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Su Mengyao pursed her lips and her eyes curved into a beautiful arc.

Without any reluctance, Su Mengyao turned around decisively with a satisfied smile and strode into the door.

Only a beautiful back view was left for Lu Ye.

Lu Ye's recognition.

Even though he had lived two lives and seen many beautiful women, he could not find any one who could compare with Su Mengyao.

I didn't have time to take a closer look.

Clang~! A sound.

The heavy dormitory door was slammed shut by the dormitory manager.

Lu Ye could even clearly hear the sound of the lock being locked from inside.

"Young people nowadays are so annoying..." The dormitory manager shook her head and muttered as she walked back to the mail room.

Lu Ye put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave.

But she couldn't help humming: "Sweet... your smile is so sweet... like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, ah... blooming in the spring breeze..."

-----------------

Binjiang, in a small house on Dong'an Street.

After washing the dishes, Zhou Yan climbed onto the bunk bed made of wooden boards with her tired body.

"Yan." A middle-aged woman walked to the bunk bed and called softly.

"Mom, I'm tired. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

The person who entered the room was Zhou Yan's mother.

Zhou Yan also knew very well why her mother came to call her so late at night.

She didn't want to pay attention, so she lay on the bunk bed, turned over and faced the wall.

"You little girl~!"

Seeing that her daughter didn't listen, Zhou Yan's mother pouted and looked a little angry.

"Your Aunt Chen has come to our house five times. Even if you don't want to, what else can you do to deal with her?"

"It's just a meeting, I can't let you lose a piece of meat."

"If you don't like him, just reject him directly, and save your Aunt Chen from running back and forth in vain."

Zhou Yan said with some annoyance: "It's not me who asked her to run away. I've told her countless times that I don't want to go on blind dates, but she insisted on running away. Who can I blame?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's mother sighed and said:

"Why are you talking like that, girl? Your Aunt Chen is a famous matchmaker on our street. Isn't everyone begging her to find a partner?"

"You don't need her help right now, but you know your brother's situation. When we get married in two years, I'll have to ask her for help."

"We have offended her now, what will happen to your brother in the future?"

"Be obedient, just listen to your Aunt Chen. Meet the man once and save Aunt Chen's face. Your father and I won't force you to get married."

"You said it, you can't force me!"

Zhou Yan sat up and looked at her mother.

"Look at you, kid. How could I lie to you? When we meet, it's up to you to decide whether you're willing or not. We won't get involved."

"There are no parents in this world who don't love their children. If our family wasn't in such a difficult situation and your brother couldn't hear or speak, your father and I wouldn't have to worry so much."

When talking about her younger brother, Zhou Yan's face was also gloomy.

Her brother is deaf-mute.

These days, if normal people can’t find jobs, it’s even harder for people with disabilities.

For so many years, my younger brother Zhou Fei has been at home. Although he can get some disability allowance, it is pitifully little.

"Mom, I can earn money now. When I make more money, I will take Zhou Fei to see a doctor and find a way to cure his ears."

Hearing this, Zhou's mother turned around and sat beside the bunk bed, sighing heavily.

"Hey..."

She said with some sadness: "Your brother's ear is congenital. Even if it can be cured, how much money will it cost? Your father's salary is barely enough for our family to live. With your salary, it will take you forever to save up..."

"See a doctor? What can I use to see a doctor?" Zhou's mother said dejectedly.

When his family first discovered that Zhou Fei was deaf, they went everywhere to seek medical treatment and spent all their family savings to get Zhou Fei treated.

But after trying thirteen moves, it didn't work at all.

Today, the couple has accepted this reality and no longer has any illusions.

Besides, Zhou Yan’s basic salary is 15 yuan, and everyone in the Zhou family knows it.

Although it’s not much, it’s much better than those educated youth outside who can’t find jobs.

Zhou's mother was already very pleased that Zhou Yan could earn some salary, and she never asked for anything else.

"Mom, don't underestimate me. Guess how much money I made today?"

When this matter was mentioned, Zhou Yan immediately became less sleepy and leaned towards her mother and said in a lively manner.

"You kid, you're so confused about your mother, how can I guess?"

Mother Zhou smiled and gave a number that she thought was relatively high: "3 yuan?"

Zhou Yan curled her lips: "It's much more than this, just guess bigger, the bigger the better!"

Seeing his daughter's high spirits, it didn't seem fake at all.

Zhou's mother couldn't help but become more serious.

"Four dollars?"

Zhou Yan continued to curl her lips: "I already said the bigger the better, you are guessing bigger."

"At the most, it wouldn't be 30 yuan, right?"

This is only the monthly salary of Zhou Yan's father, and this is also what Zhou's mother thinks is the biggest amount of money.

"oops..."

Zhou Yan put her hand close to her mother's ear and whispered excitedly, "I'll tell you the truth. I sold 80 refrigerators today. I made 815.2 yuan in commission alone!"

Zhou Yan's tone revealed excitement and a hint of pride.

More than 800 yuan is a lot of money in this era, no matter who it belongs to.

For the Zhou family, it was a huge sum of money that they could not even imagine.

"How many did you say?"

Zhou's mother's face was full of disbelief, and she stared at Zhou Yan blankly.

"815 yuan!"

Zhou Yan raised her voice slightly.

"Really? I made more than 800 yuan today. The money will be in my hands at the beginning of next month!" Zhou Yan swore confidently, without a trace of falsehood in her words.

Gudong.

Mother Zhou swallowed hard.

The next second, Zhou's mother hurriedly shouted outside the house: "Dad! Come quickly!"

Zhou's father was called into the house.

When he got a positive answer from Zhou Yan, he was so excited that he even wiped away tears.

Over the years, perhaps only he himself knows how he, as a father, has gritted his teeth to support this family.
