Shao An was working in Shenzhen this time. When Shao Qian received his call, another two weeks had passed.

Because it is a subcontracted project, no matter how you say it, he is a small boss. Except for occasional bricklayers, he only needs to ensure that the few workers he brings over can complete the tasks on time and conscientiously, but the wages are much higher than before.

Experience can make people change quickly. Although Shao An is very uncomfortable, this kind of change still happens to him without hesitation.Now he has been guilty of inspecting the project with the person in charge of the construction site wearing a helmet.The person in charge of the construction site and him are actually from the same province, and when they go out, they are all fellow villagers with the province as the boundary.Coupled with Shao An's honesty, the man trusted him with most of the work on the construction site.Now Shao An no longer needs to be crowded with bricklayers and bricklayers. Although the room is small, he has his own "office plus bedroom".

Shao Gan told him about Sun Min asking him to send the letter, but Shao An remained silent for a long time and didn't say how to solve it.Shao Gan simply said: "I'll send it to you, it should arrive in ten days at the latest."

"Don't, what if you lose it."

Shao Gan felt happy, "I'll send it by registered mail, don't worry."

"Ang." Shao An was acquiescing to this approach. After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "How is your study? The exam is coming soon, don't be reluctant to spend money, brother is rich now. I heard from the people on the construction site that during the college entrance examination Students like to drink something that nourishes the brain, and I will buy you a few boxes later."

"Don't do it." Shao Qian was terrified. "That's for people with neurasthenia. I don't dare to drink it when I'm good. If I drink it badly, save the money. It will definitely be useful in the future."

Shao Gan couldn't hold back, and said, "Brother, Teacher Sun is so beautiful, you need to work harder."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shao An turned his face instantly and emphasized again, "Don't talk nonsense."

Shao Gan smiled, "I'll send the registered letter in a while, you should call Teacher Sun, she should be looking for you for something."

Shao Gan hung up the phone in a good mood, but Shao An couldn't calm down for a long time.He went back to the room and sat beside his little bed for a long time without moving, but he didn't play the number he had memorized in his heart long ago.He doesn't have the courage to think about everything. He doesn't even understand why the ordinary-looking men on the construction site talk about their own emotional experiences in the same way. Which girl is looking for life and death for him? , Which family's daughter-in-law treats him so well.Every time they talk about this, Shao An is silent, his love life is too blank, and when there is a touch of color appearing in the blank, he shrinks back instead.

Sun Min is much better off than himself, with a good family, a good education, a beautiful person, and several years younger than himself.Shao An suddenly thought, maybe after earning enough money for Shao Qian to go to school, he should also go to school, so that the gap with her is not so big.

It seemed that the idea of ​​continuing to take the exam gave him great encouragement, Shao An rubbed his hands and went out again, dialing the group of phone numbers with a blank mind. The voice of "Didi" came from the microphone, and Shao An became nervous again, suddenly feeling that he would not know what to say if he got connected.The phone rang for a long time, but still no one answered.Shao An breathed a sigh of relief and was about to buckle it, but at this moment a voice came from the other side asking: "Hello, who can I find?"

"Hi, I'm looking for Teacher Sun."

"Oh, wait a minute."

After a noise, Sun Min's voice came through the microphone, and she said, "Hi, I'm Sun Min."

Shao An suddenly felt a little thirsty in his throat, coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Sun, I am Shao An."

The other end suddenly fell silent, and Shao An seemed to feel that the other party was even breathing lightly.After a while, he heard Sun Min say: "Is it because I don't let Shao Gan bring a letter there for me, so you won't call me back? Have you read the letter?"

"I haven't received it yet, Shao Gan said to send it over."

"When you see it, think carefully about what I said."

"Ang." Shao An didn't have the courage to ask what it was.

The person on the phone chuckled, "Why don't you ask me something?"

"what's up?"

Sun Min chuckled again, "You're too nervous. Well, let me tell you first, think about it carefully, and don't answer me in such a hurry."

"hold head high."

"Shao An." Sun Min glanced at her mother who had been keeping an eye on her, and said softly, "Let's be friends."

Sun Min didn't hear Shao An's voice until he hung up the phone, and he knew that he was overwhelmed by the shock.Sometimes Sun Min felt that Shao An was an idiot when it came to dealing with relationships between men and women, always acting as if he was mud and the other party was flowers.

Grandma put down the blanket in her hand and asked, "Who did you call? The one you met yesterday? They are very nice, self-employed. Don't look too high."

Sun Min shrugged, "I know the other party is very good, but unfortunately, he doesn't think it's suitable."

"why?!"

Sun Min looked at his mother and smiled, "You know why."

"Then who did you call just now?"

"Shao An." Sun Min kindly reminded her mother, "The person who saved me at that time."

Grandmother exclaimed, "That poor countryman who killed you? Don't even think about it!"

"Mom." Sun Min looked at his mother with pity, and slowly put on a smile, "Sometimes I don't dare to think about what you think in your heart, and I always feel scared. I am a human being, and you are also a human being. I I beg you, don't put me up for sale as a commodity again."

The grandma's lips trembled a little, and she pointed to the outside and said, "I treat you as a commodity? Why don't you go and see how the neighbors outside are laughing at our family behind our backs? If you marry that migrant worker, you won't treat yourself Be human!"

"Life is my own, and I don't need others to tell me what to do. Mom, if you still feel that I have humiliated you, please don't worry about how I live."

The closer the college entrance examination was, the more there was a stone in Shao Gan's heart that he couldn't let go of.Taking advantage of a week at the end of the month, Shao Gan asked Li Mingwei to lead the way and found Mo Tong's house.Li Mingwei pointed to the building in front of him and said, "It's in Donghu on the third floor. If you're looking for it, you'd better go there quickly. Many people will get off work later, so that others won't say bad things when they see it."

"Aren't you going up?"

Li Mingwei shrugged, "I was supposed to lead the way."

He raised his hand and patted Shao Gan's shoulder, "Besides, I heard that Mo Tong is not in a good condition, so I don't necessarily want too many people to see it."

Li Mingwei patted him on the shoulder again, turned around and swayed away with his long legs.Shao Gan looked up at the window on the third floor, and rushed upstairs quickly when he saw someone approaching not far away.He was afraid that his visit would have some bad influence on Mo Tong, and when he jumped up, Shao Gan suddenly regretted that he should bring two girls here together.

The one who opened the door was Zhang Xueying, who seemed to be washing things, her sleeves were both rolled up, and her hands were wet.Shao Gan handed over a bag of fruit in his hand and said, "Hi Auntie, I'll come..."

The unfinished words were interrupted by the loud closing sound, and Shao Gan looked at the door in front of him that almost fell into his nose, and he couldn't help himself.I knocked on the door again, but no one answered for a long time.

Shao Gan waited at the door for a while, and heard what seemed to be arguing inside.He knocked on the door again, and the door was opened when he didn't expect it to be opened. Zhang Xueying frowned displeasedly and asked, "Tell me what you want."

"Uncle Mo..."

"It's almost done."

"These fruits."

"No, you can take it back and eat."

"actually……"

Zhang Xueying turned her head impatiently and said, "Talk to him!"

Shao Gan looked back through the crack of the door, only to find Mo Tong standing there so thin that his cheeks had sunken.Because of the thinness, those eyes are extraordinarily large but lifeless.Mo Tong only glanced at him before looking away, and said coldly, "I hope you won't come here again, thank you for the fruit."

After finishing speaking, regardless of Shao Qian's reaction, he went back to his small room.Zhang Xueying still maintained the demeanor she should have. Although she was reluctant, she still finished what she had to say, "We won't keep you for dinner. Thank you for your fruit. We appreciate it. Goodbye."

The door closed in front of him again, Shao Gan didn't know why, and his heart was sore.He had a lot of questions to ask, he wanted to ask Mo Tong why he didn't go to school anymore?Can I still go abroad?How are you doing now?Why are you so skinny?Is there anything I can help myself with?

But without asking anything, the other party had already turned around and left.

Shao Gan stood at the door staring at the fruit in his hand in a daze. After a long while, he put the fruit at the door, turned around and went downstairs.He didn't dare to stay for too long, telling whoever he met went up and down the stairs, and said something unpleasant.When he arrived at the courtyard of the community, he still couldn't help but look back at the window on the third floor, and he saw a small person standing there.Shao Gan waved his hand in surprise, he always wanted to shout something in his throat, but he couldn't say it.

Someone looked this way, Shao Gan withdrew his arm, raised his head again, only to find that there was nothing by the window.

For some reason, even though Mo Tong's shadow could no longer be seen by the window, Shao Gan still felt that he should hide aside and watch him quietly.Shao Gan turned around in a circle, and finally did not leave the community, but walked to the side instead.There is a bicycle shed, and there is a half-new chair next to it.Shao Gan walked over and sat down, pretending to be someone watching the carport for the time being.

This sitting lasted for more than two hours, until it was completely dark and the dim lights in the community were turned on.Shao Gan raised his head frequently to look at the window on the third floor, and even learned the bird song a few times while waiting.

Mo Tong upstairs has been standing there, hiding behind the curtain, looking at Shao Gan who is sitting below and looking this way from time to time.His expression was calm, a little scary.Zhang Xueying yelled outside: "If you haven't come out to eat yet, can I have it for you?"

Mo Tong walked out of the room, helped serve the meal, and made a comfortable place for Mo Liangyu to sit.Mo Liangyu is basically able to move, but she has to be careful with a few fractures and post-surgery injuries.

The three of them still ate in silence, and Mo Tong said in the middle of the dining hall, "I've run out of watercolors, can I go to the supermarket at the crossroads and buy a set later?"

"I'll bring it back for you after get off work tomorrow."

"I want to buy it myself." Mo Tong insisted.

Zhang Xueying stopped her chopsticks to look at him, Mo Tong looked back, pleading: "I want to go for a walk, I can't draw anything now."

"I go with you."

"Mom." Mo Tong said, and hurriedly buried his head down, so as not to let them see the tears he couldn't help but shed again.He said he would never cry again, but it seems that he still can't do it.

Maybe Zhang Xueying noticed Mo Tong's sadness, or maybe she suddenly felt sorry for the eldest son who had been spoiled since childhood, and after the meal, she took the initiative to give 100 yuan to Mo Tong, who was about to go back to the room and shrink back, to let him go out for a stroll.

Mo Tong was stunned for a while before he took the money and the cloth bag handed over by Zhang Xueying, changed his shoes and went out.

As soon as Mo Tong walked out of the stairs, Shao Gan saw it. Mo Tong only glanced this way, then left the community with his head down and his pockets in his pocket.Shao Gan's heart beat a little faster, and he waited for a while to see that Mo Tong was not far or near before he hurriedly followed him out of the community.He saw a person standing there quietly on the right, and ran over a few steps, feeling a little pleasantly surprised.

Mo Tong waited for him to catch up and continued to walk forward with his head bowed, and only when he was some distance away from his own neighborhood did he ask, "What's the matter?"

"It's okay." Shao Gan looked at him and asked, "Why have you lost so much weight?"

"Oh, I lost weight recently."

"You're not doing well." Shao Gan kicked the stones under his feet, "When will you go back to school?"

"do not know."

"You will definitely go back to school, right?"

"I don't know." Mo Tong stopped and looked at him, "Don't come to me in the future."

"I..." Shao Qian realized that he couldn't tell the reason for coming to see him.

Mo Tong still looked at him, smiled and said: "You take the college entrance examination well, maybe we can see each other again in the future."

"Why can't we see each other? We will definitely see each other." Shao Qian murmured.

Mo Tong didn't hear what he said clearly, and stood for a while, turned around and walked back.Shao Gan didn't keep up, watched him go two light poles away, and suddenly shouted: "Don't lose weight!"

Mo Tong paused for a moment, raised his hand as a gesture of farewell, and resolutely walked back to the neighborhood and into the besieged city.
