A mediocre little goblin's love story

Xu Wei complained crazily in his heart, Grandpa is too stingy, after watching the live broadcast for several years, he only used the noble account of the younger generation to give free gifts, which made the fans in the big live broadcast room ridicule.Just like that, he started a live broadcast by himself and asked the junior to give him a gift, and today he actually showed it.

He replied to Xue Hong's message a few times, asking Xue Hong to hand over the money to Lin Yiqing for safekeeping, and discuss what to do with the money when he returns.

Xue Hong obediently handed over the money to Lin Yiqing.

Although Lin Yiqing was a little surprised, after thinking about it, he was really worried about Xue Hong's safekeeping, because Xue Hong didn't even know where his clothes were, so he took them and carefully placed them in the middle of the backpack.

In the evening, the two went home and took turns taking a bath.

Xue Hong came out after washing and found that Lin Yiqing had already prepared dinner.

It was simple dried noodles, mixed with some meat sauce that Lin Yiqing had made early in the morning, and then cooked some vegetables casually.

When ordering noodles, Lin Yiqing ordered an extra bundle, determined to increase his appetite from today.He was exhausted and was eating with the last bit of willpower.

The hands holding the chopsticks were shaking all the time, so Lin Yiqing ate very slowly.

Xue Hong noticed and wanted to see what happened to Lin Yiqing's hand.

"Let me see."

Lin Yiqing's palms were covered with frayed blisters. After a day's work, it was impossible to completely protect them even with gloves on.Generally, people who are used to doing it will have calluses on their hands, which is naturally protection.But Lin Yiqing's hands have distinct knuckles, and there are only some calluses from writing, how can it be protected from the work of moving bricks.

The shocking redness and swelling on the palm made Xue Hong feel pain when he saw it.

"Why don't you say it? It hurts so much."

"It's okay, just do more."

"How about we rest tomorrow?" Xue Hong suggested.

Lin Yiqing shook his head, "It's true that I earn much more than being a waiter. After all, it's physical work, and the daily salary is so high that it's rare, and it can be settled daily. You should earn as much as you can." Earn money, and when school starts, you don’t have to work to concentrate on your studies.”

Xue Hong didn't know what to do anymore, there was nothing wrong with his hands, and he didn't understand why Lin Yiqing's hands were like that.After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that Lin Yiqing had eaten less, so he gave Lin Yiqing some of his noodles.

Lin Yiqing ate the noodles desperately, thinking with some joy that it was fortunate that he only worked his muscles and bones, and did not starve his body.

After the meal, Xue Hong suddenly realized that he could call Uncle Li and ask him what to do.Uncle Li was a little anxious on the phone, he didn't expect Lin Yiqing to hold on even if his hands were broken without saying a word, how could it be possible for ordinary people not to speak?

"Go to the pharmacy and buy some ointment." Uncle Li said a name for Xue Hong to remember.

Xue Hong hung up the phone and hurried out.Before he left, he didn't tell Lin Yiqing, because Lin Yiqing was already lying on the bed, as if he was going to sleep.

After buying the ointment and returning home, Xue Hong carefully applied the ointment to Lin Yiqing, but when he moved, he realized that Lin Yiqing was not asleep.

"Thank you." Lin Yiqing said in a low voice, feeling very touched.He stretched out his two hands and quietly asked Xue Hong to apply the medicine for him.

"I'll sleep with you at night. It happens that the alarm clock calls us both tomorrow."

Lin Yiqing nodded, but did not refuse.

Xue Hong took off his coat, climbed onto the bed, and slept on the inside.

The two were next to each other, Lin Yiqing was afraid that the ointment on his hands would be rubbed everywhere if he fell asleep, so he dared not sleep.

Xue Hong squinted his eyes and couldn't sleep, but he was somewhat tired and didn't have much interest in playing mobile games.

"Tell me a story." Xue Hong asked in a low voice.

Lin Yiqing thought for a while, and told a story about an ancient poet who got sick.The poet was very talented, but he fell ill and fell into poverty in his later years. He once wrote "Five Sad Essays", which is famous for his misery.

"The bones are half-dead, the blood is dead, the four branches are shriveled, and the five sense organs are missing. The skin is folded and wrinkled, and the clothes are loose and knotted... If the god exists, it seems to die..."

Xue Hong has also learned classical Chinese, so he doesn't quite understand everything, but he can still feel the desolation of the content described in these words.Especially when Lin Yiqing read every word with a deep emotion.

"This is too miserable."

"Many ancient literati were very miserable." Lin Yiqing read a lot of books. Whenever he felt that he was in pain, he would pay attention to the suffering experiences of these celebrities and officials in the book. Not much.

"I don't want to be a literati." Xue Hong sighed with some fear.

Lin Yiqing chuckled, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I want to dig a hole, I like the one I saw today, the excavator."

Lin Yiqing also noticed that Xue Hong would always look at the excavator on the construction site when he was resting.In fact, he also likes it. There should be no boy who doesn't like this kind of machine.He remembers that when he was a child, there were excavators and cranes on the side of the road for road construction. Many men, women, children and children gathered around to watch, pointing and discussing from time to time.

"It's estimated that it can only be opened when it is full."

Xue Hong wrinkled his nose, a little helpless, he was just 17 years old.He thought for a while, then asked Lin Yiqing, "What about you? What do you want to do in the future?"

"I want to be a teacher." Lin Yiqing replied.At first, he wanted to be a teacher just because he heard that such a normal school would be free of tuition, and it was not so difficult to take the exam compared to some top prestigious schools.Later, he found that he was really good at studying, and no matter what difficulties he encountered, he believed that studying was his way out, and school was a place where he could change his destiny.Gradually, he regards the profession of teacher as sacred. He hopes that in the future he will also have the opportunity to be a teacher in school, teaching and educating people, and helping people like him change their destiny.

Not just to save tuition, but more like an ideal.

But if he is as poor as he is, and still looks like his ideals are higher than money, it will be ridiculous and hypocritical to say it, so Lin Yiqing has never said this to anyone.In order to help people choose to be a teacher, there is a little secret in his heart that he will not easily say, it is the softest in his heart that he will not want to be touched, and the romance that he must insist on.

The house is quiet, only the sound of the hands of an old-fashioned alarm clock turning, da da da, with a regular pattern, which makes people feel peaceful.

Lin Yiqing thought, maybe he was too tired today, which made it difficult for him to maintain his protective look.It could also be that the cold ointment on his hand made him feel relaxed.Or maybe Xue Hong is really simple, it doesn't matter if he speaks the truth, he doesn't need any fear or worry about being looked down upon, that's why he can ramble on about these things.

Xue Hong gradually became sleepy, and whispered, "You are so smart, you must be a good teacher, at least you are much better than the teachers in our class. Tell me another story tomorrow."

Lin Yiqing complied, and listening to Xue Hong's steady breathing, she gradually fell asleep.

In the next few days, the two could basically earn 600 yuan a day.

Lin Yiqing gritted his teeth and persisted. He was often very tired, but he would never take the initiative to call for a rest.I don't know if I ate too much or my body got used to it. Later, my limbs became numb with pain, so I didn't care about it.

Xue Hong is more energetic, eats more, and has better physical fitness.He was originally suitable for thinking about simple things, so the repeated output of labor was really nothing to him, but he was like a fish in water.

These two people were touched by Uncle Li's eyes.Not to mention anything else, even if his own son came to the construction site to do this, he might not be able to persist.

Two days later, Uncle Li gave some cigarettes to a master bricklayer and asked him to teach Lin Yiqing how to lay bricks.This is considered a big job on the construction site, and those who need skills will have higher wages than purely moving bricks.You can earn [-] to [-] a day, but the master and apprentice earn together, and you don't take others with you easily.

But Uncle Li was entrusted by the top boss to lead people to arrange internships on the construction site, not for making money at all.Otherwise, he wouldn't help move that load of bricks.So he talked and gave cigarettes, and the master taught Lin Yiqing seriously.

Lin Yiqing is suitable for such technical work.He has a rigorous personality, is very serious in doing things, and learns things quickly.In less than two days, I learned in style.

In this way, Lin Yiqing started to lay bricks, and Xue Hong handed him bricks as a small laborer.The two worked happily and well, and they could earn 600 yuan without being too tired in a day.

Every night before going to bed, Xue Hong would ask Lin Yiqing to tell him a story.In his eyes, Lin Yiqing is much better than Xu Wei. He knows many stories from all over the world.Unlike Xu Wei, when he opened his mouth, there was a mountain in the past, and there was a hunter in the mountain.

Lin Yiqing likes to talk about who got what disease, what limb was broken, and how he died tragically in the end, but the story was ups and downs, and there were at least some interesting things in the middle, such as the poem about cockfighting written by Wang Bo, Yang Jiong was going to be a centurion .

Xue Hong sometimes listened and sighed, saying that these people are weird.

Lin Yiqing still felt that Xue Hong was rather strange.At first when Xu Wei said that Xue Hong was a savage, he thought it was an exaggerated ridicule, but now he felt that he agreed with it very much.Sometimes Xue Hong is even more than a savage in his eyes, maybe his ancestors are relatives of Xing Tianwu, a person with strange power who raging and chopping demon scales.

Xu Wei lived with his grandfather for two weeks, accompanied him to climb mountains, fish and watch live broadcasts every day, and came out with him by the way, and asked for 50 yuan.

This money will be counted as the last time he asks for money from his family.If he can guarantee to rely on this money to support himself and stop reaching out to his family, his grandfather agrees that he can take responsibility for his own life.It doesn't matter if you like boys, or you like mules and horses.His grandfather will no longer interfere, and will prevent his parents from intervening.

50 yuan is really nothing to the Xu family. The younger children in the younger generation save up their annual lucky money, and after two or three years, they might be able to come up with 50 yuan.

But this money will be used for all Xu Wei's future expenses.He can no longer buy famous watches, famous cars, all kinds of luxury goods and even houses.

But he was at ease.He wants to be responsible for his own life, and he wants to be with the person he likes forever, no matter whether he is a man or a woman.
