Middle-aged greasy uncle and world-weary girl

Chapter 22

Not long after, the sky brightened up, and the sky was dyed with a fiery red halo, and occasionally the chirping of birds could be heard outside the window.

Jiang Jun got up, washed up, picked up the key and went out.

……

……

It was almost eight o'clock when Yubai got up, because without Jiang Jun's disturbance, this was the most comfortable day she slept during this time, but it was also the happiest day.

Pushing open the door, as expected, Jiang Jun had already left for a long time.

She looked at the untouched mutton and goat milk on the coffee table, and frowned.

Jiang Jun's divorce and unemployment are just to let him go to the bar to get drunk, but this time Yubai obviously feels different, this time Jiang Jun is sober and indifferent. She has experienced this kind of state, and being sad to the extreme is loneliness , there was no spiritual pain that any substance, not even alcohol, could share.

I can only bear this severe pain silently alone.

……

……

On this day, Jiang Jun delivered a day's worth of takeaways, order after order, without stopping.

He was numb, relying on his physical instincts to deliver food, he didn't even have the most basic fatigue, and only Han Xue's words flashed in his empty mind: Who do you give back so much money?takeout?I'm afraid you can afford it if you don't eat or drink for a year, right?Once something happens to your brother...

When he recovered, Jiang Jun realized that it was already dark.I took a look at the fruits of today's labor, 93 yuan.

He stopped the car, sat on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, looked at the busy street, and suddenly didn't want to do it anymore.

After working hard for a day, I earned 93 yuan, which is less than 3000 yuan a month. After excluding food and drink, I can save 2000 yuan. It’s not bad. After ten months, it’s only 2 yuan. It’s only 5 yuan. nowhere in sight.

call--

Exhaling the smoke, Jiang Jun felt that what Han Xue said was right, it was fine if Sun Zhong didn't encounter an emergency, but if something happened, what would he give back to others?

After much deliberation, Jiang Jun felt that it was necessary for him to take the time to call his mother. First, he asked about his grandfather's recent health condition; phone content.

After all, I still don't want my parents to know the fact of my divorce. My parents are old, and when they hear about the divorce, they will inevitably not be able to accept the fact.

Finally, he pecked at the cigarette, put out the cigarette butt, and Jiang Jun rode away.

……

……

It was almost nine o'clock when I got home.

Just as Jiang Jun took out the key to open the door, the door opened with a click.

Yu Baibai remembered that it was time for Jiang Jun to come back. Usually, he would go home after seven o’clock, but today it was almost nine o’clock, and Jiang Jun hadn’t come home for a long time; Yu Baibai became anxious, walking back and forth Stepping in front of the door, I heard a little sound, and went to open the door.

The first time I opened the door, I found that it was not Jiang Jun, but the neighbor Zhao Shu.Zhao Shu was enthusiastic, but Yubai couldn't deal with it casually, and then closed the door.

It was Jiang Jun who opened the door for the second time, and it was already nine o'clock.

Seeing Jiang Jun's return, Yubai was overjoyed and said, "Uncle, are you back?"

Jiang Jun couldn't help being taken aback when he saw Yu Baibai, a fool could tell that Yu Baibai had been waiting for him for a while, out of face, Jiang Jun pretended not to know, he put away the key in his hand and walked in.

"Yeah." Jiang Jun said simply.

"Have you eaten, uncle?" Yu waved.

"Not yet." Jiang Jun said.

Jiang Jun took off his shoes, and felt that his indifferent attitude was not very good. It was his own business to be sad, and this kind of negative emotion should not be brought to Yu.

After thinking about it, Jiang Jun added: "What about you?"

"I've eaten it." Fish said with a smile.

"En." Jiang Jun responded, and then walked towards the sofa in the living room.

Yu looked at Jiang Jun's posture and understood that he didn't plan to eat again tonight.

Yu Baibai looked at Jiang Jun lying on the sofa, and didn't know what to say, so he could only put the mutton and goat milk on the coffee table before going to bed.

"Uncle, let's eat something." Yu waved.

Jiang Jun turned his back to Yu Yu, pretending to be asleep without saying a word.

Yu wobbled for a while and had no choice but to walk away gently.

……

……

The next day.

Jiang Jun got up, and just after washing up, the cell phone in the living room rang.

Jiang Jun wiped his wet hands, walked to the living room, and saw that the phone was Jiang's mother's phone number.

Jiang Jun took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and connected the phone...

"Hello? Mom." Jiang Jun pretended to be full of energy and said.

"Well, is Xiaojun up yet?" Mother Jiang asked softly.

"Well, I got up." Jiang Jun said with a smile: "I got up a long time ago, it's time to go to work in a while."

"Yeah." Mother Jiang said.

Jiang Jun paused for a second, and found that the mother on the other end of the phone was not silent. He immediately understood that his mother must have something to say, and it might be difficult to say, and he was thinking about how to say it right now.

So, Jiang Jun brought up a topic and said, "By the way, how is grandpa doing?"

"It's stabilized. I'm currently studying the issue of hospital transfer. I may go to a big hospital in the city for recuperation after a while." Mother Jiang said.

"Yeah." Jiang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered about Han Xue, and smiled: "Oh, by the way, Mom, Han Xue said you called her, and you talked about getting money?"

"Well, Xiaoxue told you?" Mother Jiang said.

Jiang Jun pretended to be angry, and complained: "Mom, look at you, I didn't tell you before, don't call Xiaoxue about this, it makes people laugh, besides, it's not a lot of money, you say If there are too many, she is also quite embarrassed."

"It's just such a thing. The key point is that Mom always feels that it's not good if I don't call Xiaoxue." Mother Jiang said.

Jiang Jun responded, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that Han Xue still didn't tell his mother about the divorce.

For this, Jiang Jun couldn't help but thank Han Xue.

"Mom, by the way, I still want to ask you, did the second uncle return the money to us?" Jiang Jun asked.

"Your second uncle..." Jiang's mother sighed, and said worriedly: "I asked once, your second uncle said that you will be transferred in an hour, but after another hour, your second uncle's phone will not be available."

Jiang Jun's eyes dimmed for a moment. In fact, he still knew about his second uncle's personality. He pretended to be a man in front of outsiders, pretending to be able to handle affairs, but in front of his family, he was just an iron cock, trying to cheat his father's money.

Jiang Jun didn't think that his second uncle would return the money to a person who cheated even his father's money.

"Mom, he won't return it to us." Jiang Jun said.

"No, your second uncle has a good reputation outside, so the money will definitely be given to us." Mother Jiang argued.

"Mom." Jiang Jun persuaded: "Things have come to this point, can't you see it? If he wanted to give it back to us, he would have given it to us a long time ago, so there's no need to turn off the phone, right?"

Jiang's mother was silent for a while, and finally said weakly: "Maybe your second uncle has something to do, after all, he has quite a lot of projects."

Jiang Jun's face was fixed, and he didn't dare to say anything further. He was completely convinced of this bodhisattva-hearted mother. He knew better than anyone whether the second uncle could pay her back the money. Even so, because Sun Qingsheng was the second brother of his mother. Because of the reason, she would rather choose to lie to herself than accept the fact that Sun Qingsheng did not want to pay back the money.

Forget it, things can only take one step at a time.

What's more, if I pursue the matter of repaying the money too closely, my mother will inevitably notice something, as if I am short of the 5 yuan now.

At present, in order not to let my mother know about my divorce, even if I pretend, I have to pretend that I am not short of money.

"Forget it, he can pay it back if he can, anyway, we are not short of this little money." Jiang Jun said nonchalantly.

Afterwards, Jiang Jun added: "Oh, by the way, don't let grandpa know about the money we take for the time being. Grandpa will live frugally for the rest of his life. If he knows at this juncture that he uses his children's money for medical treatment, it won't work." It's on fire."

When Jiang's mother heard Jiang Jun's words, she immediately became happy, and she finally smiled and said a word: "Xiaojun is promising..."

Jiang Jun smiled triumphantly, and said, "By the way, Mom, did you call me for something else?"

"It's a bit..." Mother Jiang faltered.

"It's okay, mom, just tell me if you have something to do, I'll do it for you if you can, and I'll find a way to do it for you if you can't." Jiang Jun said confidently.

Jiang's mother hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Isn't your father retiring soon, and he needs to pay a sum of pension insurance money next month..."

"Oh." Jiang Jun hesitated, gritted his teeth and asked, "How much is the difference?"

"Twenty-three thousand." Mother Jiang said.

When Jiang Jun heard twenty-three thousand, there was another loud bang in his heart.

As soon as Jiang's mother heard Jiang Jun's silence, she immediately said, "Xiaojun, mom didn't mean to ask you for money. After all, Xiaoxue is very proud of the 5 yuan, so I will take it from your house." Twenty-three thousand is too much, after all, it is not easy for you and Xiaoxue to make money."

"Mom!" Jiang Jun said angrily: "Look at what you said, what do Xiaoxue and I earn so much money? Isn't it just to provide for your retirement! Besides, it's only [-] yuan, which is not a lot of money!"

"But..." Mother Jiang wanted to say something else.

Jiang Jun interrupted Jiang's mother's continuation. He scratched his head and laughed and said, "Oh, mom, your son is not short of money now. Maybe you think tens of thousands of dollars is a lot of money, but now tens of thousands of dollars For me and Xiaoxue, it's nothing at all, it's fine, you don't have to take it too seriously."

Mother Jiang sighed, and said, "Xiaojun, Mom and Dad didn't help you, but caused you trouble."

"Hey, don't say that, as if I'm not your own." Jiang Jun said.

When Mother Jiang heard this, she smiled angrily, and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Jiang Jun made a haha, and said: "Okay, Mom, I will go to work in a while, and when you will use the money next month, please call me in advance."

After speaking, Jiang Jun hung up the phone.

After the call was over, Jiang Jun could no longer laugh, his body seemed to be emptied, extremely weak, his arms loosened, and the hand holding the mobile phone shrugged and pulled down...

Twenty-three thousand, one month, where should the money come from?
Do you still take it from my brother?
Thinking about his brother who was in dire straits in BJ, Jiang Jun really couldn't open his mouth, even if his brother could come up with the money at this moment, Jiang Jun didn't want to ask for the money.

It's not because of anything else, but because Jiang Jun thinks that the relationship between himself and his brother is really hard-won. Now let him know that he needs money. Once he takes out the money again, although it solves his urgent need, But to a certain extent, he seems to have cleverly used the relationship between himself and his brother for so many years.

Like a vile brute.

Jiang Jun glanced at the broken Jetta downstairs and made up his mind: sell the car!

I glanced at the time, it was seven o'clock, and it was time to go out to work.After putting on his shoes, Jiang Jun thought for a while, turned back, raised his hand and knocked on the door of Yubai's room.

"Fish?" Jiang Jun asked tentatively.

There was no response from inside the door.

Jiang Jun tapped again, and said, "Fish?"

Still no response.

Seeing this, Jiang Jun let out a long sigh of relief, and then he was willing to leave.

Because of the phone call with his mother just now, he didn't want Yu Baibai to hear it, that would make him feel very embarrassed.

The tooth was broken, and I swallowed it myself.

If there is a wound, I hide in a corner and lick it myself.

bah—

With a crisp sound of closing the door, Jiang Jun left.

At the same time, Yu Baibai opened his eyes. Jiang Jun probably didn't expect that when he was talking to Jiang's mother just now, it happened that Yu Baibai was getting up to go to the bathroom, so everything was naturally taken by surprise. The fish swings into the bottom of the ear.

Yu Baibai got up to wash, she used the toothbrush to poke back and forth in her mouth, after poking for a while, she took a sip of water, raised her neck, gurgling, gurgling... Hula...

Take another sip of water, raise your neck, gurgling, gurgling... hula...

Repeatedly.

After washing, she looked at herself in the mirror and muttered, "Twenty-three thousand?"

　Have you favorited it?Have you favorited it?Have you favorited it?
