Chapter 52 Give You Warm Light

Shao Gan also squinted for a while, and when the staff came to check the tickets, he simply woke up Mo Tong and got out of the station.Mo Tong was still a little dazed, and he didn't fully wake up until Shao Gan gave him money to call home.I found the public telephone hall and asked him to make a call, but Shao Gan walked away.

Mo Tong thought about it, so he just stayed there for a while and told him to finish the fight.But looking at the middle-aged man walking on the road, I still can't bear it.

Mo Tong plucked up the courage to dial the number at home. He thought that his parents should have gone to work. If no one answered, he would wait until he settled down before calling.In fact, the phone rang twice before being picked up.

Mo Tong only said "Hello", and Zhang Xueying's roar came from there.

"Where did you die? You want to force me and your father to die!"

Mo Tong took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I'm leaving."

"Don't even think about coming back when you leave the house."

"I'm not going back." Mo Tong glanced at Shao Gan, who was looking this way frequently, turned his back to him, and continued: "I'm sorry for you and Dad, you guys, just think I've gone abroad, okay? The family is too depressing , I know you are going crazy just like me."

Zhang Xueying didn't say anything more, but the sound of crying kept coming.

Mo Tong had never been able to resist his mother's tears, and Zhang Xueying couldn't hold back her tears the moment she cried out.Zhang Xueying choked up and asked: "Did you run away with that man? I went to the school to inquire at dawn, and he also ran away. Tell me, what's so good about him? So good that you don't even want your parents .How did you promise your dad? Did you forget everything you said? Where is my Tongtong?"

"Mom." Mo Tong suppressed his choking, "I didn't promise you to give up, I just said that I was wrong. But this mistake, I can't change it, Mom."

Zhang Xueying's voice suddenly rose, and she said angrily: "You two almost killed your father! Do you know that your father almost passed out last night? You, why don't you die?"

Mo Tong was silent, and a moment later there was a "Didi" sound from the microphone after the disconnection.Mo Tong still said into the microphone: "Then you can just treat me as if I died outside. Anyway, I can't survive in that house."

Shao Gan walked over when he hung up the phone, saw that his face was full of tears, didn't ask anything, wiped it with a slightly rude gesture, pulled him onto the bus, and went directly to Z University.

A job cannot be found overnight, but a place to live must be found immediately. Two people cannot live on the street.Walking around Z University, I found that there is a very narrow street at the back door, next to the community vegetable market, and various small shops.It's easy to find a rental house, but it's hard to find a cheap one.The two of them followed the small advertisement on the wire pile and searched for a long time. After comparing and comparing, they rented a room of about 10 square meters in an independent courtyard that was not involved in the municipal renovation on a street away from Z University. , a small room used as a storage room by that family.

Because it is my own yard, when building the house, I probably considered renting it out, and didn't pay attention to the north-south transparency. Except for the two-story spacious and bright hall on the landlord's side, there are small windows and small wooden doors next to it, which is very simple.That's it, there are already three tenants living in one yard, and two of them have children.

The window of the room that Shao Gan rented was blocked by the wall of the house that he turned to, so it was almost nonexistent.Fortunately, it's cheap, only seven yuan a month, and the electricity bill is extra.Water is free, and the pressurized well in the yard is used.

Fortunately, it is already summer, so there is no need to add a lot of things.If it was Shao Gan himself, it would probably be the same as when Shao An first came out to work, sleeping on the wooden bed.But after all, he brought Mo Tong out, Shao Gan went back and forth in his mind a few times, and took Mo Tong to the street next to the school, and chose a cheap silk cotton quilt.He doesn't buy quilts, tables, etc. Seeing that a new batch of college students are graduating, there must be a lot of things that can't be taken away to be thrown away and sold.Shao Gan thought, he should be able to replace everything he lacks by then.

As for work, Shao Gan didn't plan to take Mo Tong to the construction site.I think that when he went to the construction site for the first time, his hands were full of blood blisters that night.It doesn't matter if it grows in my hands, but if it grows in Mo Tong's hands, it will be uncomfortable to think about it.What's more, Mo Tong, who is now skinny to the bone, will probably faint even if he is exposed to too much sun, let alone moving bricks.

Shao Gan dragged Mo Tong out for a day, focusing on observing what was missing on the school street, but found that no matter what, there were people selling it.The two were going to go to the school for a stroll, but the dozing gate at the door was too intimidating to them.What's more, both of them felt that the university was too sacred for ordinary people to enter.When they coincidentally went to look at the school, it happened that school was over, and the students rushed out of the door in groups of three and four.Really, as long as there is something to sell, there is something to buy.Shao Gan had finally seen what it was like when the street was really bustling.

The two of them followed the group of students, and it really felt like they had walked out of the school.

A ten-square-meter room with a 1.5-meter wooden bed.When he went back to sleep at night, Shao Gan realized that he was not only worried about making money, but also about sleeping in front of him.In such a small place, it is impossible to get another bed to fit in the other corner.Besides, where is the "other corner" that can be used?

Mo Tong used the half-used plastic bucket and washbasin that he rubbed over from the landlady's old lady to draw water from below. When he came up, Shao Gan was still staring at the bed in a daze.Mo Tong washed his face without saying a word, looked at the small window in front of him, and thought that when he had to buy a curtain to hang it, he should also paste something on the wall for decoration.

Mo Tong washed it briefly, and said, "Go to bed, I can sit all night."

Shao Gan suddenly came back to his senses, went downstairs to the well to wash his face, and washed his arms and legs along the way.When I came back, I turned off the lights to save electricity.If it is frugal, no one can compare to Shao Gan.After all, he lived with Shao An like this.

Mo Tong was still standing by the bed, Shao Gan grabbed him in the dark, "Go to sleep, I've been tired all day, and I didn't sleep well yesterday."

Mo Tong didn't move, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I like men, are you not afraid that I have AIDS or something?"

Mo Tong originally meant to be a little self-deprecating and arrogant, but Shao Gan's silence just now really made him a little uncertain.Unexpectedly, Shao Gan didn't know that tendon was throbbing with a single sentence, and he pushed him onto the bed after pushing him.There was only a mat on the hard bed, and Mo Tong fell down to the bone, gasping for breath in pain.Shao Gan spread half of the quilt and asked him to wrap the other half, while he only covered a corner.Lying there is not sleepy.

For a long time, Mo Tong heard Shao Qian say: "Tomorrow I will go out for a walk, you can stay at home alone, or go to school to see."

"Are you looking for a job? I'll go too. I can do whatever you want."

"If you don't look for a job, let's start a small business or something. Although it is risky, the money will come in quickly, but we have to go out and see more." Shao Qian had the idea of ​​doing business very early. When Shao An was sweating profusely under the sun and couldn't even eat.

"I'll go with you."

"You wander around, I don't necessarily go anywhere." Finally Shao Gan added, "Be obedient."

Mo Tong blinked his eyes in the dark and decided to obey.

The landlord should be watching TV, the sound is not low, and Mo Tong can hear the melody of Li Na's "A Good Man's Life Is Safe".

After a long while, Mo Tong said: "My mother likes to watch Desire. It's very good, we can also listen to it as a radio."

Shao Gan said, "It will be very hard in the future."

Mo Tong's words almost made Shao Qian cry, he said, "But I'm alive."

After all, it was a day of running, and Mo Tong soon fell asleep.The night at the end of May was still cold, Shao Qian stared at his eyes and thought about doing some small business, and after a while he felt that Mo Tong was leaning this way.Shao Gan moved to the side, and before he could figure it out, the person inside came over like a bug.Shao Gan had no choice but to stretch out his hand to push him, only to realize that he felt cold when he touched his cool hand.

No way, people are asleep anyway.Shao Qian simply hugged the person in, dragged the quilt in and covered himself as much as possible, squeezed together and closed his eyes.Mo Tong was dazed and unable to squeeze, his hands and feet were entangled, and when he automatically squeezed his arms away to use as a pillow.He had to admit that he didn't feel uncomfortable.

The next day, Shao Gan got up at dawn, and Mo Tong was still sleeping when he came in lightly after washing up.He hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, his whole head was buried under the quilt.Shao Gan pushed him, saw him open his eyes in a daze, and told him: "Put two dollars under the quilt, wake up and go buy food, I may not come back at noon. Remember to lock the door when you go out."

Mo Tong woke up instantly, but before he could say anything, Shao Gan had already opened the door and left.

Mo Tong burrowed into the quilt, sniffed the familiar breath at the end of his nose, and felt very happy.After wriggling under the quilt for a long time, a pair of arms stretched out, and with a restrained scream, two legs also kicked out.Then the man sat up from the quilt, smiling all over his face.Mo Tong washed his face swiftly, took two dollars with him and went out the door.

The small street next to the school was already busy, but the school was still quiet.Mo Tong stood in front of a steamed bun shop, staring in a daze at the woman's hands skillfully pinching the folds of steamed buns under a 15-watt light bulb.The woman smiled and asked, "Student, why did you get up so early? The buns haven't been steamed yet, and you have to wait for 10 minutes."

Mo Tong smiled: "Sister, I don't buy buns. Do you want to help? I can help sell buns."

"Hey, stop joking." The woman looked very happy, "You students are good at talking."

"I'm not a student here." Mo Tong smiled sweetly and innocently, "My brother took me out to see a doctor, the house here is cheap."

The woman looked at him twice more, and Mo Tong's thinness convinced her.Can't help but ask, "Where are your parents?"

Mo Tong pursed his lips and said nothing, and the woman didn't ask any more questions, but asked directly: "Are you looking forward to it?"

"Okay. The money is gone, and my brother wants to start a small business here."

"That's good. You can make some money by selling anything."

"My brother said the same thing." Mo Tong smiled: "I'll help my sister sell buns."

"Oh, I can come here by myself." The woman hesitated for a moment, took off the outer baffle and said, "Come in, and watch someone buy buns later."

After talking for a while, Mo Tong found out that this person's surname was Wang, and her husband also set up a small stall in the vegetable market over there, busy on both sides.When asked about the specific income, Sister Wang didn't say anything, she just smiled and said, anyway, enough is enough.Sister Wang asked Mo Tong what they were going to do, Mo Tong curled his lips, "I don't know, I went out in the morning, and said I was going to have a look, and I didn't take me there."

After seven o'clock, more people bought buns. Although Mo Tong was a little skinny, his face was still very eye-catching.Some female students came to buy steamed stuffed buns, and they looked at them frequently, and some asked Sister Wang, "Why did you hire such a handsome helper?"

Sister Wang just laughed, "I can't afford to hire him, he's just helping out temporarily. If he does business on the street in the future, you should patronize him more."

The girls just laughed, "What delicious food are you going to sell, little brother? As long as you can eat it, the sisters will cheer you up."

Mo Tong smiled, "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell my sisters when I think about it."

Mo Tong easily got free breakfast, not only that, Sister Wang also asked him to come and get it whenever he wanted.Mo Tong was not too polite, and when he left, he even took a few away, saying that he would make dinner for his brother.But maybe I promise, when I buy a pen and paper, I will definitely draw a sketch for Sister Wang.Before leaving, Miss Wang suddenly stopped him and said in a low voice: "I heard from your brother-in-law that there is an old lady in Xincun who accepts apprentices for free and teaches them how to make all kinds of cakes. You can go and see it with your brother later. Look."

Mo Tong thanked him sincerely, and then ran to the other side with the buns.The few female students told him just now that they could enter the school as long as they brought their school badges, and promised to bring him the extra ones they picked up later.While chatting with them, Mo Tong suddenly remembered what he could do now. He could draw sketches for people, just a pencil and a piece of white paper.
