Back at the rental house, Zhang Li had not slept yet and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, her face full of sorrow. This girl with an extremely strong heart has endured too much bitterness and blows in the past month. She finally got through it.
In the first month, I thought I would be lucky, but who would have expected that I would fall into deeper despair in the blink of an eye.
"You're back."
Lu Shanmin hummed and sat on the sofa, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
"Can't sleep."
"Go to bed quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow morning."
"Mountain people, thank you."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "I just did what I thought I should do."
Zhang Li lowered her head, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "I'm sorry."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "If you ask me to choose again, I will still choose this way."
Zhang Li raised her head and looked at Lu Shanmin's sincere face, "Is it worth it?"
“Grandpa often said that when doing things, you don’t care about gains and losses, only about right and wrong.”
Zhang Li's eyes were bloodshot. In the first month of work, as a newcomer, she had to do her assigned work, including serving tea and pouring water. She worked overtime almost every day. Adding on what she had experienced in this month, it made her
Her nerves were always in a state of tension, and today it was even more because Huang Mei owed a debt that was impossible to repay. The girl had been gritting her teeth to prevent herself from breaking down.
"Mountain people, we have caused you too much trouble since we met."
Seeing the tiredness on Zhang Li's face, Lu Shanmin felt a little distressed, "Sister Li, now we should be in the same boat and share weal and woe. You must not be under too much pressure. If you collapse again, it will undoubtedly be fatal to everyone.
Strike".
Zhang Li smiled bitterly. She had known Lu Shanmin for more than a month. Lu Shanmin's words and deeds were very different from the mountain villagers in her impression. This mountain boy who only went to elementary school had unknowingly become the owner of a rental house.
At its core, every time I see him, I feel an inexplicable sense of security.
"Don't worry, mountain people, I won't be defeated that easily."
"Well, Huang Mei was quite frightened today. She still needs you to enlighten her."
Zhang Li nodded, was silent for a moment and said: "Mountain people, let me and Huang Mei find a way to get the 50,000 yuan. If it doesn't work, let the family ask relatives and friends to borrow it."
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I remember you said that if you guys had good family conditions, why would you carry your bags and go to the East China Sea alone?"
"But we can't pay it back at all."
"Your parents have finally managed to support you through college. Now they are waiting for you to prosper in the East China Sea. You can't let them down."
Zhang Li lowered her head, her face full of fatigue, "Yes, but I can't trick you."
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I said that if I had another choice, I would still do it. Don't worry, there are still three months left and I will find a way. It's not the point of no return yet."
Zhang Li stared blankly at Lu Shanmin. Although she had not looked down on him before, she always thought that he was just an uncultured mountain villager. She was only kind to him out of kindness and sympathy from the bottom of her heart. This time, Zhang Li was the first to
For the first time, I felt that the boy in front of me who was a few years younger than me actually felt as tall and powerful as a father. For the first time, I realized that after so many years of college study, the three of them might not be as good as him except for a diploma.
Fifty thousand yuan, this astronomical figure has been lingering in the hearts of Lu Shanmin in the past two days. Since childhood, he has never owed even a dime. Who would have thought that he would owe such a huge sum of money when he first arrived in Donghai. According to his own
It would take two years to save the salary without eating or drinking, and it would be impossible to pay it off in three months just by working at a barbecue restaurant.
Seeing Lu Shanmin turning over the barbecue in his hands absentmindedly, the meat was a little burnt. Lin Dahai slapped Lu Shanmin on the head out of habit.
"You brat, I'm in love with spring. I've been absent-minded all night."
Lu Shanmin smiled awkwardly, "Uncle Hai, what do you think you can do to earn 50,000 yuan in three months?"
Lin Dahai was stunned for a moment. After more than a month of contact, he still understood Lu Shanmin relatively well and knew that he was not a person who loved money as much as his life.
"What? Lack of money"?
Lu Shanmin nodded.
Lin Dahai frowned and kicked Lu Shanmin on the butt, "You have been in the city for a month now. You are good at not learning, but you are obsessed with money. You have learned a lot. Fifty thousand, you think it is five
Hundred".
Lu Shanmin rubbed his head in embarrassment, "I was just asking casually."
Lin Dahai patted Lu Shanmin on the head and said, "Just asking, there is no way, I just don't know if you dare."
When Lu Shanmin heard this, he immediately became energetic and looked at Lin Dahai longingly.
"any solution".
"Robbery of a bank".
When Lu Shanmin heard this, he immediately lowered his head.
Lin Da also said earnestly, "You brat, I have seen many young people who are so ambitious. Let me tell you, walk steadily and step by step, and don't have big dreams all day long."
A bar girl who happened to be passing by heard the conversation between the two and said to Lu Shanmin with a smile, "Handsome guy, I think you have a good figure. Do you want my sister to introduce you to a rich woman? As long as the job is good, let alone 50,000 yuan."
, half a million is no problem."
Lu Shanmin knew this girl, and he often came here to eat barbecue for more than a month. These bar girls often liked to tease him. At first, Lu Shanmin would be teased by them until he blushed. Later, he gradually realized that they just like to joke around.
Gradually, I no longer looked as embarrassed as before.
Lu Shanmin looked up and found that there was an acquaintance beside the girl. It was the girl who Lu Shanmin rescued Liu Qiang from when he tried to get her drunk in the store that night.
The girl was still wearing a student uniform, which was completely different from the other bar girls. She was looking at herself blankly at this moment.
The girl smiled faintly at Lu Shanmin: "I've always wanted to thank you. I've been busy with the midterm exam in the past few days. Thank you for helping me out that night."
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "It's easy to do it with a little effort."
"My name is Ruan Yu, a sophomore in finance college, working part-time at Rose Bar."
"My name is Lu Shanmin."
Ruan Yu smiled sweetly, "I know, the handsome barbecue guy on Minsheng West Road, you are a celebrity now."
Lu Shanmin smiled sheepishly, "Liu Qiang didn't embarrass you again, did he?"
Ruan Yu shook his head, "He used to think that I was like other girls, but now he knows my intentions. As long as I deliberately avoid him, he will not blatantly attack me. After all, I am a student of a finance college.
If something really happens, he won't be able to reap the consequences."
He said and pointed to the person next to him who was holding a plate and choosing dishes, "She is Sister Xiaoxiao. She is a very nice person. I was just joking with you." 1
Lu Shanmin nodded, "I know."
Ruan Yu paused and said with some embarrassment: "I just heard that you are short of money. I have saved some during this period. If you need it urgently, I can lend it to you first."
Ruan Yu suddenly offered to lend money, which caught Lu Shanmin by surprise. The two met by chance, and only today did they know each other's name. Although he had helped her before, he never expected that the other party would offer to lend him money.
How much money can a student make by working part-time in a bar?
If Zeng Yaqian had said such words, Lu Shanmin would have felt that it was an insult. When Ruan Yu said these words, Lu Shanmin felt a little moved in his heart. In the month of Donghai, he had seen a lot of human emotions. Unexpectedly
When I was most embarrassed, the person who offered to help me turned out to be an already embarrassed little girl.
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Thank you."
A clear smile appeared on Ruan Yu's face, which made Lu Shanmin think of Bai Ling again. The smile on Bai Ling's face was also so clear.
"Didn't you say I was your sister when you helped me out last time? Isn't it natural for a sister to help her brother?"
Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness. You should keep your money and go to school."
The bar girl named Xiaoxiao chose the dishes and came over.
"Hey, brother and sister are so affectionate, Xiaoyu, when did you hook up with the handsome barbecue guy?"
Ruan Yu's cheeks turned red, and she pinched Xiaoxiao angrily, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you are talking nonsense." After saying that, she ran away embarrassedly.
Ruan Yu was eating barbecue and sipping beer. As a wine sitter, a poor drinker is a fatal shortcoming. After Liu Qiang’s forced persuasion to drink last time, coupled with Xiaoxiao’s intentional and unintentional preaching and teaching,
Ruan Yu, who was confused and ignorant of the world, gradually began to learn how to live in a bar where dragons and snakes are mixed.
"Xiaoyu, I just heard that you wanted to lend money to that boy. You didn't mean it, did you?"
Ruan Yu nodded sheepishly, "But he refused."
Xiaoxiao knocked Ruan Yu on the head and said, "Silly girl, this is called playing hard to get. You have been in the bar for a while, and you haven't seen clearly what a man is."
Ruan Yu pouted, "He is different."
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said, "Men can be different. They are not all animals that think in the lower body."
"But he saved me last time."
"That's because he just came from the country, and he is still a stupid boy. I have never seen any man before. No matter how honest and white he is at the beginning, once he is dyed by the big dye vat of this colorful world, he will turn into a heartless and heartless carrot.
”.
Ruan Yu's face turned slightly red, "Sister Xiaoxiao, you misunderstood. I just thanked him for rescuing me last time. I didn't mean that. What he will become is none of my business."
Xiaoxiao imitated Ruan Yu's tone, "Look at the coy look on your face. It's none of my business. Your face is as red as an apple."
"Sister Xiaoxiao",,,,
"Don't blame me for being realistic. Let me tell you, a little girl like you is easily fooled by heroes saving beauties. When you reach my age, you will understand that in this world, except money, nothing is unreliable."
