Balance beam

Jiang Jiang and Dabao walked together. Dabao raised his leg and kicked the cans at his feet. The tin box flew behind the trash can. Because of the wrong direction, it bounced off a wall on one side and rolled onto the street.Dabao whistled, and rushed to Jiang Jiang who was ahead, shouting, "Hey, where are you going now?"

Jiang Jiang frowned at him, then glanced at the can, "How old are you?" His tone was not contemptuous but contemptuous enough, "I'm busy, I'm going home."

Dabao was surprised, "Didn't you finish all your homework? What are you busy with? Are you making up classes at night? You don't play games anymore?"

Jiang Jiang looked at him as if he was looking at a preschooler, and Da Bao wrapped his arms around Jiang Jiang's shoulders with a smile, begging "Let's go play together!"

Jiang Jiang shook off Dabao, "No." After taking two steps away, he looked back at him, feeling that Dabao was very pitiful, "Then why don't you go to my house to read comics?"

"No." Dabao curled his lips, "I'll find Du Wei to find online games." Li Jia's pampering and pampering of his son made him envious, and Jiang Jiang's studies have always been good.He likes to read books. He reads all the useful ones and the useless ones. There are many books in and out of class. He piles up a bookshelf. He also has a hobby of collecting comics.As long as it is what his son wants, Li Jia is not stingy. Over the past few years, there are three boxes of manga stuffed under Jiang Jiang's bed.

Li Jiang once jokingly said that Jiang Jiang can start renting a book club.In fact, Jiang Jiang did this, but his father didn't know it.

When Jiang Jiang rented the manga to his classmates, he assumed that he rented it, and that he would have to pay for any damage or dirt, and the rent would be [-] cents a day.As a good friend, Dabao naturally enjoys the benefits of watching for free, in exchange for not being allowed to expose Jiang Jiang.But ever since he left Jiangjiang's house that day, he felt embarrassed when he saw Uncle Li again. Dabao hadn't read comics for several days.

Uncle Li once solemnly confessed that he and Jiang Jiang got along well and helped and took care of each other. He did not take good care of Jiang Jiang, but made him tired like a bad student. Cleaning up is justified, but the party scene is crazy, what should Uncle Li think of him, Da Bao is in a dilemma, he wants to go but dare not go.Seeing the tangled look on his face, Jiang Jiang coaxed him with a smile, "Why don't I show it to you, so you can go home and have a look?"

Seeing that Dabao was still hesitating, Jiang Jiang bit his lip and pushed him, "It's really worthless, what are you afraid of my dad doing? He won't talk about you."

"It's because you don't know how to talk that makes you feel uncomfortable. You think everyone is like my dad and wants us to obey him." The way Uncle Li looked at him made Dabao feel as if he had let him down, and he automatically felt guilty.

Jiang Jiang nodded, "Okay, don't you want to go? Then I'll take you to the school, and you pay the same as they do, half the price." "Really." Da Bao rolled his eyes at him and muttered Jiang Jiang's bad words "Ge Langtai is even more generous than you, Jiang Jiang, you have to change this habit, who will dare to marry you in the future?"

"What do you know, I am thrifty now so that my wife can live a better life in the future. Hey, Dabao, I want to drink soda, go buy me a bottle,"

"Aren't you rich?"

"I'm an integer."

"Integer? Just now I saw that you still have ten yuan."

"Ten yuan is not the same? A bottle of soda is one yuan, go, go, go."

"Damn it, I'll be at my house in two more stops. I'll carry you two bottles and stuff you to death."

Jiang Jiang threw Bao Shu on his back and looked up at him, "Are you going?" Da Bao kept his neck still, and Jiang Jiang said lightly, "XX Hermit seems to have a third season." Bao immediately got into the small supermarket next to him.Jiang Jiang smiled, and followed, "I don't drink Pepsi, but you can drink delicious orange flavored gum. Don't rush out."

Regardless of Dabao's complaints after the confession, Jiang Jiang rushed across the road in three steps and two steps. He hadn't seen Zhou Dazhi for a long time, but Zhou Dazhi didn't pay attention to him, and Jiang Jiang walked several meters behind him , Zhou Dazhi still walked with his head down, frowning as if he was thinking about something, he didn't realize that there was a "tail" behind him.

Jiang Jiang ran a few steps in front of him and stretched out his arms to block the way. Zhou Dazhi bumped his head into Jiang Jiang's body very firmly. Jiang Jiang rubbed his shoulders and complained, "Hey, how do you walk?" "

Zhou Dazhi's forehead swelled when he was hit, "Damn, you're blind! Do you know if you're going retrograde?" The person opposite looked familiar, especially the half-smiling look. "Hey, Jiang Jiang?" Zhou Dazhi widened his eyes. He closed his eyes and squeezed a smile on his face. "Why are you here?"

Jiang Jiang looked at him with white eyes, curled his mouth and whispered, "You're silly."

Although Zhou Dazhi is annoying, he really has no sense of existence. If he hadn't met by chance today, he would have been almost wiped out of Jiang Jiang's memory.

The last time I saw Zhou Dazhi was this guy who enthusiastically dragged him to dinner. Now that Leng Ding met him, the sense of crisis lurking in his heart was awakened.Jiang Jiang felt that his father's recent behavior was too abnormal. When he came back, he was around him all day at home. He usually left school early and came back late. Every time he went home, he saw that his father was normal.But working alone for a day is completely different from staying at home for a day. The home clothes in the morning have been put on until evening, and the leather shoes are still left where they were yesterday, and there is no sign of going out. He looks suspicious.

Combined with what he discovered before, Jiang Jiang felt that there was something strange about it. His father had always been in technology before. Why did Zhou Dazhi send his father so far away?What are you thinking?Seeing his silence now, as if he had been hit, Jiang Jiang decided to test it out.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Jiang greeted Zhou Dazhi like an old acquaintance, and Zhou Dazhi didn't mind that there wasn't even an honorific name in it. "I'm going to run some errands, what about you?" Zhou Dazhi looked at his watch. It wasn't the end of school time. Jiang Jiang was still carrying his schoolbag, so it was obvious that he was either leaving school or skipping classes.

Zhou Dazhi didn't have the awareness that Jiang Jiang was going to take the high school entrance exam, thinking that he was going to be late for an appointment, so he talked to him absent-mindedly, and his eyes were already on the destination not far away.

"Oh, I made an appointment with my classmates to play games."

Zhou Dazhi was startled, and as an elder consciously advised, "That's no good, Jiang Jiang is a good boy, how can he be like them? Nowadays, children are too addicted to games to delay their studies, so they can't go to the game hall. Your father knows that. What? Why are you here now? Have you finished school? Have you written your homework? Have you reviewed your homework? If you dare to enter the game hall, I will call your dad."

Jiang Jiang was extremely disgusted with his manner of speaking, he was too self-righteous, "Who are you? Why are there so many things?"

Zhou Dazhi also realized that his bad attitude touched Jiang Jiang Nilin, so he began to preach earnestly, from social news to the current education system, and then talked about teachers who don't pay attention to the character development of students for the sake of performance and bonuses. It's all a problem "Jiang Jiang, I also came here from your time. I think when I was in school, our homeroom teacher got a headache when he saw me, and told my dad that I was very naughty. We had a lot of fun at that time, but now I regret it, because it’s not worth delaying my studies because of having fun. And we were very innocent at that time, even if we played tricks, there were only a few tricks. It’s not like today’s children. There are so many temptations. It’s voice calls and video games. Children’s The self-control is definitely incomparable to that of an adult, and it is too late to regret being addicted to it.”

Jiang Jiang especially regretted catching up with him. He never knew that Zhou Dazhi was a chatterbox. When Zhou Dazhi was teaching, he kept saying in his heart, "I'm not as stupid as you. I'm good at studying. I won't even be naughty." Being caught by the teacher doesn't look like a fool, just a few tricks, no sense of innovation at all." Jiang Jiang forced a hypocritical smile on his face, "I listen to you, I'm a Just go home, Uncle Zhou, don't you still have a date?"

Zhou Dazhi nodded, holding the bag in his arms, and expressed the unfinished words without missing a word, "Jiang Jiang, I heard from your father that you have always been good at studying, and you are also a cadre in the class. You should have the ability to compete so fiercely." Just set an example. No matter how popular you are, if your academic performance is not good, you will soon slip from the top."

Jiang Jiang let out a breath. He couldn't talk with Zhou Dazhi anymore. It would be a torture to his ears. He immediately turned his gun and pointed it at Li Jia, "Hey, let's get down to business. What kind of work did you arrange for my dad?"

Zhou Dazhi was stunned for a moment, a little tongue-tied, "Li Jia, what's wrong with Li Jia?"

Zhou Dazhi's ignorant expression made Jiang Jiang wary, and looked Zhou Dazhi up and down.

Zhou Dazhi's gaze was erratic and he didn't notice that Jiang Jiang was staring at him all the time to see if he was about to reveal something, "Your father, are you back?"

It was Jiang Jiang's turn to be surprised. Apparently Zhou Dazhi didn't know much about his father's situation. Gone again. Do you have something to do with my dad?"

Zhou Dazhi was stunned, "Oh, no, it's actually nothing wrong."

Jiang Jiang laughed, "How long has it been since you and my dad saw each other?"

"It's been a long time." Zhou Dazhi was a little lost. He really hadn't seen Li Jia for a long time, and now he suddenly heard this person's name, and his heart ached.

"Aren't you from the same company?"

After Zhou Dazhi was stunned for a moment, he quickly turned his attention to Jiang Jiang, remembering what Li Jia had confessed, and seeing Jiang Jiang looking for fault again, he tried to straighten his expression, "He, I don't care about his work."

Jiang Jiang opened his mouth wide, and automatically filled in the bloody plot, just like the family of a rich girl did not agree with the poor boy to get along with her, and then transferred the poor boy to another place.Jiang Jiang rolled his eyes and whispered, "Isn't it?" His expressions twisted together.

Looking at the back of Zhou Dazhi going away, he felt extremely weak. He hummed and smiled and despised him. If he was so cowardly, it's no wonder he would be preempted. Jiang Jiang didn't sympathize with him at all.I just hate him for his incompetence. If he snatched his father back, Jiang Jiang would still be able to deal with such a mentally handicapped enemy.Anyway, they are all monsters, it is better to find a bully whom you are familiar with than to face an unknown and powerful one.

Jiang Jiang clenched one hand into a fist and struck in the palm of his hand. His father is not hopeless, he doesn't need Zhou Dazhi now, just let him go into despair!

Jiang Jiang came back early, and Li Jia was preparing dinner. Wearing an apron, he sliced ​​the eggplant into slices, stuffed meat in the middle, wrapped it in a layer, and fried it in a frying pan. "Wow, Dad, what is this? I like eating it the most." Li Jia wiped his sweat with a smile, "I knew you liked it, and I prepared it all afternoon."

"Go wash your hands and change clothes. Dinner is about to start." Li Jia patted his son's face with one hand. Jiang Jiang agreed loudly. If you stick your head out, throw it down.

Thinking of Zhou Dazhi's expression, Jiang Jiang seemed to test Li Jia unintentionally, "Dad, guess who I met today?"

"Who is it?" Li Jia smoothly smoothed his son's hair, then poured a glass of water and put it on the table.

Jiang Jiang picked up an eggplant box and blew it in his mouth, took a bite and chewed slowly, "Mmm, it's delicious! I saw Zhou Dazhi." Jiang Jiang glanced at Li Jia from the corner of his eye, and saw Li Jia My face stiffened, huh?Sure enough, there is a problem.

"Dad, when are you going to the company?"

"Ah?" Li Jia looked at Jiang Jiang blankly, "Oh, that..."

"Dad, didn't you say that the company employs its own people? The boss is quite picky. I heard from my classmate's father that a monthly income of six or seven thousand is not a problem at your level, so this boss will give it to you." Opening three thousand and five is too condescending."

"No," Li Jia explained embarrassingly, "The boss is very kind to me, and taught me a lot when I came here."

"Dad, if we're not happy with what we're doing, let's change to another company? It's the same everywhere, maybe we can do better."

Li Jiami smiled with closed eyes, telling Jiang Jiang not to worry too much.Jiang Jiang noticed that every time he mentioned Zhou Dazhi's name, Li Jia's expression would become tense, such as "Zhou Dazhi said it's been a long time since I saw you." and "Aren't you in the same department now?" Li Jia's attitude would be stiff. , although he also found an excuse to explain "Oh, yes, I haven't had much contact. I'm on a business trip." Or "We were not in the same department before." From time to time, he eavesdropped quietly through the crack of the door, but he didn't hear anything after the scene. The content was the same as he expected, that is, "Meet Jiang Jiang? ... What did you talk about? ... And how are you doing now? ..." It was nothing more than some polite words, nothing special, just like him and Dabao, just chatting, without any valuable information.While feeling relieved, greater anxiety gradually spread in his heart, and Jiang Jiang decided to find out that person.That person cast too much shadow on his heart, and it took him a long time to believe that the most effective way to explain the crisis is not to avoid but to suppress the enemy, Jiang Jiang is full of confidence.

It feels good for the father and son to eat together and watch TV together. Jiang Jiang said that he talked happily about the school affairs, and Li Jia quietly looked at his son's face, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart.

Li Jia has nothing to do all day, and often looks at the scenery outside in a daze. It seems that he has switched to a city but has not switched. When he goes to the street, he will always mistakenly think that he is still in that city instead of Changxia.Sometimes after walking a few streets, I realized that I was distracted, missed the intersection where I should turn, and came to Palin's branch by accident, and I had an urge to go up.Although the impulse flashed by, Li Jia was still surprised by his crazy thoughts. That person was not here, but he always imagined that he would meet him in a certain office.

He has only been to Palin's own company once, and that kind of atmosphere should be Palin's favorite!Almost everything that Li Jia thought of revolved around Palin. The person who was always the center was still his sun.

Li Jia wanted to study further. Although this year's registration had passed, he could prepare for next year. After buying books and study materials, he only read a few pages in a day, and he still forced himself to study.When he was in school, he was the kind of person who studied hard but had unsatisfactory grades. When he became an adult, being serious brought him some benefits, and he still studied hard to distract himself.If it was that person, it wouldn't be so difficult, would it?

Palin didn't want to lend his homework and exercise books to others when he was in school, but if Li Jia wanted it, Palin would give them all, and even if it was a "small stove" that others got, he would try his best to get it. .When he encountered something he didn't understand, Palin would frown and say, "What's all this writing about? It's a mess, you're really stupid." Then he took a pen and explained it one by one.Sometimes holding a book and just thinking about it, it seems that I have returned to my boyhood, they are still studying together, Li Jia smiled with his chin in his hands.

Time flies, they have known each other for so many years, and they will continue to know each other.

From that encounter on the street corner until now, everything is like a dream.In fact, Li Jia also found out that since he chased him from Changxia, Palin treated him much less, not the attitude but the emotion, whether it was the love released in the eyes, or the pampering and caring for him that was the same as that of the past. Neither can be compared.But when he was alone at home and lonely, he still couldn't help thinking of Palin, thinking of nothing more.Even sitting on a chair, I can imagine being penetrated by Palin again and again. The feeling is as clear as what happened yesterday. Although it is difficult to bear, I miss it very much.

Bai Li felt that Sonia had been hot and cold towards him recently, and he couldn't let it go if he wanted to let go of this relationship. He tried his best to choose a gift, and then asked Sonia out.Sonia looked at her watch, "You're late." Bai Li was in a lot of trouble, and he couldn't help complaining when he sat down. While putting on a real bracelet for her, he said, "Your husband always hits me." Sonia stared at the bracelet Gem laughed, "It's so cheesy." He kissed his back on the cheek, "Thank you, what happened to Perrin for hitting you? Who told you to bully me, you deserve it."

Bai Li drank the tea in his mouth and almost spit it out, "He has no conscience."

Sonia looked at Bai Li with a smile, "You can't bear this pressure, do you want me to plead with him?"

Bai Li ignored the teasing, but took a serious look at Sonia's lips, then found a wet towel, and wiped his face against the deformed image reflected on the tableware, "Is that pressure? It's crazy suppression, you know he What are you doing? A real estate guy actually got involved in the messy waters of communications."

Sonia smiled, she found that she especially liked watching Bo Li, Bo Li's hair was combed upwards, at most she thought he looked clean when she was young, but now she thinks he has more and more taste, quite like the noble son in Korean dramas, no wonder the girl Celebrities are willing to gossip with him. A man with this appearance is quite decent in the mirror.

Bai Li complained, "Do you think it's easy for me to do things?" When he went out, he heard his father and his wife gossip, "Is he still playing with that?" , why is he just playing?When he was in school, he followed his father's arrangement to study economic management. In fact, he especially liked to write small programs, such as making a virus to eat other people's things, or installing a plug-in for his own use.

Bai Li is the kind of person who is more resistant to pressure when he is under greater pressure. He did not agree with his father when he was a base station.Well, if his family didn’t support him, he would do it himself, solicit funds and promote it everywhere. He is so arrogant that he also knows how to play Tai Chi with bureaucrats. Being forced into this kind of procedure, they don’t feel that they are doing business. It’s so depressing.

While complaining about his bitterness, Baili inevitably had to show off his current achievements, the network he has built, and the company's future plans. The prospects are very good.Sonia didn't understand many of the technical terms he said, but she just felt that the man in her eyes began to sparkle.

"Sonia, I'm serious. It's the first time in my life that I'm so serious." I always thought that the sense of security that a capable strong person can give, now seeing Bai Li, Sonia can't help but get excited.

"Sonya, I finally know what I want now. The days before were wasted."

Sonia leaned in his arms, "I know, I believe in you." Bai Li smiled smugly, and was about to kiss her with his cheeks lowered, when the door was suddenly opened, "Ah, I'm sorry, I went the wrong way." The voice was very familiar, and Sonia looked back.

On Li Xuan's chubby face, the two watery eyes were wide open, her mouth was also opened into an O shape, and her apologetic hand was in midair.I thought it would interfere with the private meeting of a couple who didn't know each other, but I didn't expect it to be an acquaintance, and both of them knew each other. "It's you? Why are you? How did you get together? Why are you?"

"What are you doing yelling?" Ma Bin leaned in with his upper body, seeing Sonia and Bai Li still hugging each other, Ma Bin also gasped.

"What's wrong?" Tang Sen's voice came from outside the door.
