Chapter 404: The Past on the Rooftop (seeking a monthly ticket)
Seeing an originally exciting dispute dissolve so casually, the big show of Wuling Xiaoguang versus a million-dollar luxury car failed to take place. The few onlookers found it boring, and now they all slowly walked towards each other.
It swayed forward.
On the other hand, a woman came out of the noodle shop next to her, staring at the direction the car was leaving, her expression full of excitement.
She reached out and pulled out a man sitting by the door:
"Did you see clearly? Did you see clearly? The person who got into that nice car just now was your brother!"
"Okay, let me tell you why you are so unkind and leave as soon as you say... But our family lives and dies... It turns out that he got into Gaozhi, and he is afraid that we will take advantage of him!"
Her eyes were intense, her expression full of indignation, and she tugged at her husband again: "Speak."
"what can I say?"
The man brushed his hair impatiently.
"He is doing so well now. He will definitely not want to go back to the photo studio. If we don't hire a serious photographer, this shop will close down."
"If the old man doesn't take out the money he has, I think he has selfish motives and wants to save it for retirement."
"I'm so old that I don't even think about it. What's the use of having money when I'm old? Don't we still have to serve as our sons and daughters-in-law?"
The woman rolled her eyes: "Your brother is now prosperous, and the whole family has broken bones and tendons. How can you not care about the old man's affairs now that you are so prosperous?"
"Let's go back to dad. Let me tell you, you are the boss and you are responsible for providing for the elderly. You cannot let your younger brother take all the benefits."
"It's good. I don't want my family to take advantage of it, and I don't want to support my old man... This doesn't make sense anywhere, does it?"
"Also, since we haven't contacted him for so long, you should try to find out about his former friends... Do you know them? Where are they now?"
The two chattered and soon disappeared.
Chen Siyu followed Little Du Ge to the studio.
After living in Bai Shanshan's new house for a few days, she received a series of inspirations.
Fortunately, I learned the habit of daily note-taking from Ding Wei. Now I took out the notebook to find the key words, and had a lively discussion with Little Du.
He even took out his mobile phone:
"I took pictures of the colors of the furniture, walls, floors and curtains..."
Especially the corner of the balcony.
I didn’t take pictures of anything else that involved private space.
But this color can indeed be clearly displayed in front of little Du Ge.
He studied photography and his aesthetic ability is not bad. Before, what he lacked was only vision and knowledge, but now he keeps practicing and making progress. After becoming his own boss, he can try all his previous ideas one by one.
Progress has been rapid.
As for Li Mingyi's cooperation with professionals such as show organizers, he has also been following them seriously for several months. Now, with international concepts and popular aesthetics, he really has his own mature style.
But no matter how he grew up, Chen Siyu's series of scoldings that allowed him to get rid of that family were still in his heart.
So thinking about rain is the most important thing at any time.
Now I have seen his photos and some vague thoughts about her.
The vague thoughts that had originally existed in his mind now had corresponding colors. The clothes that Jie and Chen Siyu brought over, and the corresponding scene layout immediately appeared in his mind!
It seems to have inspired some new inspiration at this time.
"With this color combination..."
He quickly pulled out several photos of models from one side:
"The partner who drove me today asked me to shoot the cover of their magazine. I think this color looks very high-end, so it should be fine."
"A model..."
Chen Siyu immediately thought of those charming fairies abroad, and without saying a word, she came forward:
"Can I see it?"
…
Chen Siyu and Xiao Du Ge are now immersed in the atmosphere where they are interested in each other, but they still have a tacit understanding and are still in the ambiguous stage.
And Ding Wei now feels that she has shouldered the task of being a soul mentor, spending time here listening to girls talk about her past...
If this advice fails, how much psychological pressure will there be?
She couldn't help but condemn herself in her heart - I called you pretentious, called you pretentious, where can I find no inspiration?
I have to go to the rooftop for excitement.
But she couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If she didn't find some stimulation herself, this silent thing would happen. If the girl couldn't think about it and tilted her body -
It's too late to regret it.
At this moment, he took a solemn attitude and decided to listen to the girl's tragic past.
She is good at association, and because she has been writing supernatural stories recently, Ding Wei has read several "Criminal Trial Reference" and has made up countless scary stories in her mind.
Unexpectedly, the girl with long flowing hair softly said:
"I'm too stressed."
Ding Wei:???
It should be noted here that she definitely does not look down on the pain caused by pressure.
Everyone's endurance limit is different. Some pressure may seem light to outsiders, but for those who truly experience it, they are struggling on the edge of life and death all the time.
Mainly, when girls say they are stressed, their expressions obviously don't change much, and it's obviously not the kind of stress that is very stimulating.
This is not what she thought.
Ding Wei also asked:
"What pressure?"
The girl lowered her head:
"The pressures of life."
"You do not understand."
"How can a girl like you, who has the ability to make money, understand my pain? That kind of pressure from your family that you can't get rid of - you must live in a good family.
Ding Wei:……
——I don’t agree with your conclusion.
And girl, you didn’t even get to the point after talking for a long time.
"That……"
She tentatively cheered:
"What kind of pressure?"
"The family owes a huge debt? How much? Is it five million?"
"My father gambles and my mother is weak?"
"Either you favor sons over daughters, or your parents are too strong, leaving you with no room for survival?"
"Your parents secretly read your diary, installed a camera in your room, treated you as their private property, and prohibited you from communicating with other classmates?"
"Are they domestic violence? Do they want you to drop out of school and get married in exchange for a bride price? Or are they cancer? If you don't get first place in school, they will be violent towards you?"
With this series of words, the girl's face became paler.
She looked at Ding Wei with a fearful expression, and then said tremblingly for a long time:
"Why do you make life so scary?"
Ding Wei:……
no!
This sister, you are the one who wants to commit suicide!
She also said there was too much pressure - she just took out the various life reasons for teenage suicide and guessed it!
I originally wanted to persuade him that if he owes five million to a loan shark, he can file a lawsuit. The country does not recognize loan sharking.
Moreover, the examples she gave were compared with the news she sometimes saw and the cases she saw in the "Criminal Trial Reference"...
These are all pediatrics, okay?
The consciousness in her eyes was too obvious. Somehow, the girl couldn't bear the gaze and quickly lowered her head.
At this moment, he grabbed the corner of his clothes and whispered:
"You, I haven't encountered anything you mentioned."
"But...but I'm also in pain. I can't bear the pressure."
Perhaps she was afraid that Ding Wei would say something else, so she quickly told her story.
The girl's name is Shen Qian.
I'm also a sophomore, but I'm studying grammar.
Her father passed away when she was very young, and the mother and daughter lived in a small tube house in a remote urban village in the imperial capital.
The housing area was less than 50 square meters. The house was just bought and her father was gone.
Next, she relied on her mother to work part-time to support her.
Shen Qian's mother studied finance and is an accountant.
With a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan, it is enough to live in the imperial capital, but when the children grow up, what does not cost money?
Just in case someone gets a headache again... So she also took on two additional private jobs, earning 4,000 yuan a month.
The pressure of life made Shen Qian mature prematurely. When she was very young, she heard her mother say:
"When you get into a good university, your life will be better."
"When you graduate, your life will be better..."
"When you start working, your life will be better."
Say it every day, say it every day.
Now that she lives on campus, her mother also eats three meals a day when she comes home during the holidays.
Shen Qian felt confused at first. She heard from her senior sister in the grammar department that it was quite difficult to find a job.
I also heard that the monthly salary of some seniors after graduation was only one to two thousand yuan. Thinking of her mother's high expectations, the psychological pressure became even greater.
There was an accident during summer vacation and she broke her leg.
Her mother had to use her savings, take her for medical treatment, take care of her, have three meals a day and work at the company, which made her whole life miserable, and she became more and more persistent in saying these words to her daughter.
But because she was too busy and under too much pressure at that time, the company where she took on private work had a discrepancy in its accounts and suddenly lost another five thousand yuan...
This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury to their family.
Shen Qian felt so guilty that she cried while eating.
Her mother also advised her: "It's okay. You are at the University of Ming Dynasty now. When you graduate and find a job, everything will be fine. Then mom will still expect you to enjoy happiness."
Shen Qian collapsed immediately.
She finally told the truth: "But my seniors said that jobs are often not that easy to find, and a salary of two to three thousand after graduation is a lot..."
This is the same as her mother's salary as an accountant.
The mother exploded immediately.
"Can you have some skills?"
"I saw so many famous alumni and so many powerful figures on your school forum. Why can't you do anything?"
"Qianqian, Mom has no other expectations for you. She doesn't expect you to be rich...as long as you can lead us out of this life."
I have to worry about money when buying food, and I don’t dare to have any entertainment activities at all. I work day after day... The furniture is broken, and I don’t want to repair it.
"What do I get out of?"
Shen Qian also collapsed.
"In order to save money, I didn't even go to cram school. I don't know how to show any talents. There are many talented people in the school, but I don't have any skills that can be used."
"With me like this, do you still expect me to surpass those powerful classmates as soon as I graduate?"
"I'll probably be just like you in this life."
As soon as I said this, my mother's job was ruined.
Her whole body was shocked by the despair of the future, and she was already sitting on the chair blankly.
"Qianqian, you disappoint mom so much."
…
Shen Qian finished telling the story.
Ding Wei was still listening with her ears perked up, but after waiting for a while and not hearing anything more, she couldn't help but ask:
"what's next?"
Shen Qian also looked at her blankly: "Next...I will be here next."
Ding Wei:……
"Did you say something less? Is your mother more exaggerated than usual? Or is she in poor health? Or are you in poor health?"
Shen Qian looked at her in confusion: "Isn't this excessive enough?"
"We are all in good health. My legs are fine as well. I was going to the amusement park to play when I accidentally rolled down the steps and fractured my calf."
Ding Wei:……
cough.
With all due respect: Both mother and daughter are quite hypocritical.
If it hadn't been for seeing someone sitting on the rooftop with a death wish, Ding Wei would have gotten up and patted her butt before leaving.
——I thought it was a story full of pain, blood and tears in life, but I didn’t expect it to be a hypocritical mother and daughter expressing their resentment here.
…
Shen Qian noticed her disapproval and asked:
"Do you think it's no big deal?"
"That's because you don't understand my suffering..."
Ding Wei interrupted her: "How much is your monthly living expenses?"
Shen Qian was stunned: "Not necessarily, my mother gives me one hundred and fifty or two hundred a week."
"Oh." Ding Wei looked at her: "Since last semester, my family has not given me a penny for living expenses."
"That's because you can make money..." She whispered: "If I could write so beautifully, I wouldn't want the living expenses from my mother."
"Then why don't you earn it?"
Shen Qian was stunned.
After a while she replied: "I don't know anything."
"Then will I know how to do it? To be honest, I have never attended any cram school since I was a child."
In fact, there is still one. My aunt paid for it and enrolled me in an English class.
"Nothing comes naturally. You envy me for writing good stories. Have you tried writing stories?"
"You can't do anything else. You can carry dishes and pour water. If you can't do that, you can also go to the amusement park entrance to do the doll reception!"
"Your mother earns 4,000 yuan a month. After deducting your living expenses, you still have 3,300 yuan. The family's living expenses are 300 yuan a month. For transportation, equipment, favors, etc., it's 800 yuan a month."
"Without any accidents, your mother can save 2,200 yuan a month."
"It's almost 26,000 yuan a year. Your tuition fee is 7,000 yuan a year, which means you can only save less than 20,000 yuan after working three jobs a year."
"You usually study hard in class, and after you graduate from high school, you take the holidays to work a part-time job. So far, you can earn at least 5,000 yuan in two summer vacations and one winter vacation, right? That's about the same as the tuition fee."
"But you've never worked a part-time job when you've grown up, right?"
Shen Qian had nothing to say.
His face was a little pale and a little red. He couldn't help opening his mouth to say something, so Ding Wei asked again:
"You broke your calf, and you can't just lie in bed for the rest of the summer vacation... Your mother has to work three jobs and prepare three meals a day for you... How can you even cook instant noodles by yourself?"
