The price of rebirth

"Yanyan, what do you think Liang Kui is doing standing there?"

Su Yan raised his head in astonishment, "What?"

"Look over there."

Su Yan turned his head and looked around. In the crowded crowd, Liang Kui stood out from the crowd. Although he seemed to try his best to submerge himself in the crowd, he couldn't escape Su Yan's eyes.

When Liang Kui noticed Su Yan's gaze, he was suddenly embarrassed, rubbing his head and slowly pacing over, putting his hands in his trouser pockets, with a casual look on his face full of indifference.

Su Yan didn't speak, and let Liang Kui stand beside him stupidly.He continued to greet the guests.

Aunt Xu, on the other hand, said with a warm smile as she passed the scale: "Oh, it's really Liang Kui. I saw you riding a bicycle speeding past on the road in the morning. I thought I was dazzled. Why did you come to the vegetable market? Have you had breakfast?"

Liang Kui snuggled up behind the kitchen table, next to Su Yan, and said with a quick smile, "I just got off the train in the morning, and I saw you rushing here. I was curious, so I followed to take a look." He said, pay attention Seeing that Su Yan was very calm, Su Yan said again: "Su Yan, why don't you tell me if you want to work part-time, I can help."

"Help for what? Help me introduce a part-time job?" Su Yan laughed at him.

Liang Kui shook his head: "I didn't mean that, I told you not to be angry, I was scared when I saw you selling vegetables..."

Su Yan laughed and said indifferently, "Otherwise, what do you think I won't scare you?"

"I... haven't thought about it." Liang Kui said frankly.

Seeing Su Yan selling vegetables on a tricycle suddenly, Liang Kui was frightened. Even though Su Yan's house was simple and dilapidated, even if Su Yan's parents didn't show up, he never thought that Su Yan would do this.If someone suddenly heard someone say that a certain classmate in the class sells vegetables at home, most of them would have an intuition that that person's family is poor.Liang Kui recalled that when he was in junior high school, there was a classmate whose father was the school gatekeeper. Every time he went to and from school, that classmate lowered his head, his face full of shame and indignation.In the class, the classmate was often ridiculed by others because of his father's occupation.Thinking about it now, it's really nothing funny, and they didn't break the law.But in junior high school, although he didn't bully that classmate, he did tease and laugh with others.

Those little things in the past have long been forgotten by him, never thought of, and never felt that there was anything wrong.

It was only when he saw Su Yan today that he inexplicably thought of what happened in junior high school, that classmate, and those childish and cruel laughter.He switched that to Su Yan, and he saw Su Yan selling vegetables seriously, even enthusiastically, and suddenly felt self-loathing.He is carefree, doesn't worry about money, doesn't worry about the future, he is comforted when he is angry, he is comforted when he is hurt, and he is distressed when he is tired. He can laugh and laugh unscrupulously every day, all because he has nothing to worry about , life did not trouble him.So much so that he ignored many things, other people's affairs, and other people's difficulties.He can be nice to Su Yan, but he is not Su Yan's parents, he has money, but it is not Su Yan's money, he can help Su Yan, but Su Yan will not refuse anyone.

Su Yan has Su Yan's thoughts and Su Yan's troubles.

Liang Kui didn't think about it, if one day his parents left him, if one day he became lonely and helpless.What would he do if one day he lived in a backward street in an old house?

He only knew that when he saw Su Yantian's bright and busy figure, he inexplicably felt a lot of emotions in his heart, emotions that he couldn't speak.

"Su Yan, do your parents care about your living expenses?" Liang Kui asked in a muffled voice.

Su Yan bit his tomato and sighed with a smile; "What are you thinking about? They left me a deposit, enough for me to finish college without worrying about food and clothing. Do you think I'm poor? Are you stupid? You, the real poor...how can I wear it?" I do." He tugged on his T-shirt.

Liang Kuisong breathed a sigh of relief, it was right to think about it.Although Su Yan's usual clothes are not very expensive, they are basically branded goods.And looking at his expenses, he doesn't look like a poor man living a tight life.

Seeing Liang Kuina's relieved look, Su Yan couldn't help laughing, and secretly shook his head and sighed, although there is no distinction between high and low occupations, but some occupations, the first thought people think of is shabby, poor people at the bottom.

For example, the professional migrant workers who occupy the top ranks in the country do serious physical and technical work and earn money to support their families, but they are disliked when they walk in the metropolis and squeeze the bus.

He knew that Liang Kui must have been frightened when he saw him selling vegetables suddenly.Maybe the wild imagination thinks of him as a poor child whose father doesn't love his mother, doesn't like food, doesn't have enough clothes, doesn't keep warm, and can't pay the tuition fees.

"How long will you sell vegetables?" Liang Kui asked again.

"I'll help Aunt Xu, maybe a summer vacation."

"Then I'll help too, without wages." Liang Kui said firmly.

"Just you?" Su Yan raised his eyebrows in disdain.

Liang Kui blushed and said angrily: "What's wrong with me! Selling vegetables is not easy, do you think I can't understand electronic scales? Can't settle accounts? Who can't do these little tricks."

"Okay, come on. Handsome Liang, stand up and show yourself. You can't waste the face of such a schoolboy. Just stand and shout, and you will definitely attract a row of female guests."

"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu?" Liang Kui was pushed out and stood there, looking at Su Yan foolishly.

"Yeah, didn't you see it, yell like me, louder."

Passing guests looked at the two young men with a smile on their face, Liang Kui felt smoke rising from his head, stammered and dodged, "Is it okay not to shout? I see that there are quite a lot of guests, so there is no need to shout?"

Su Yan stared: "Do you think it's embarrassing?"

Liang Kui quickly shook his head: "No, I, I'm not used to it, cough cough, I'm really not used to it."

"Okay, I won't force you." Su Yan waved his hand indifferently and continued to work.

Aunt Xu laughed: "Xiaoyan, don't make things difficult for Liang Kui. What are you shouting for? Our guests don't need to shout. Liang Kui, don't take it seriously, Xiaoyan is deliberately teasing you. He is not a part-time worker, so he is helping you today. It is rare for you to let him go." During summer vacation, go out and play if you have nothing to do, play ball and go shopping or something, high school students study hard, don’t be tired of nothing.”

When the two said this, Liang Kui felt even more embarrassed.Silly and uncomfortable, what the hell is he doing here!What are you doing here!

Liang Kui was still struggling there, Su Yan patted him, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about with such a colorful face? Come on, follow me to the street."

"Ah?" Liang Kui was stunned, he was still thinking about whether or not to yell, how to yell, and why was he leaving?He is not brewing emotions in vain!

"Shopping, don't you understand?"

"Understood!" Liang Kui followed.

Su Yan walked slowly on the street, there was a very lively street outside the vegetable market, both sides of the road were full of cheap goods for sale.This street is quite long, a large section of the street is a clothing store, the middle section is a daily necessities grocery store, and the back section is a hardware store.During the period, there were several food stalls, fruit stalls, and grocery stalls.

Su Yan first went straight to the food stall and bought two big and crispy sesame seed cakes, one for each of Liang Kui.

The two walked towards the street while eating. Su Yan bit the biscuit and introduced vaguely: "You didn't have breakfast, why don't you go to have breakfast first? There is an early morning shop a little further ahead, which sells noodles, vermicelli, and fried noodles next to it." Deep-fried dough stick noodle nest."

Liang Kui was indeed hungry, so he nodded immediately: "Okay, you lead the way."

"Youtiao noodle nests are delicious, but most of them are waste oil, you'd better eat less." Although Su Yan said so, his mouth was dying of hunger.He's a nice guy, but he's not too picky about food, he has a big appetite, everything smells delicious, and he wants to taste it.Although I ate at Aunt Xu’s house in the morning, I was hungry again when I smelled the fragrant fried noodles.

The same is true for Liang Kui, just ignore what is dirty or not, as long as it is delicious!

He ate a bowl of vermicelli and three deep-fried dough sticks in one go, and then ate ten noodle nests and Su Yan while walking.The two of them ate greasy mouths, and they were full of fried dough sticks and noodles, especially the noodles had a unique taste, thick and easy to stick to the body.

"Did you fart?" After eating the noodles, the lingering smell in the wind made people frown, Liang Kui couldn't help staring at Su Yan suspiciously.

Su Yan smiled softly: "You'd better stay away from me, or you will be smoked to death."

"...Are you really letting go?" Liang Kui looked at Su Yan's butt.

Su Yan's eyes turned green: "Don't be so unconscious, smell yourself! Do you think I don't know about you stealing garlic at night when you live in my house?"

Liang Kui's face was flushed, and he argued rationally: "Eating garlic is good for your health! I am afraid that you will hate the smell, so I eat it behind your back at night. One yard is worth one yard. Garlic is garlic, and farting is farting."

The two walked to the street clothes section noisyly, Su Yan wiped off the oil on his mouth, walked into a shop called 'Yi Lian'.

Liang Kui was wondering what he was doing in the women's clothing store, and when he went in and saw Chen Yan, he suddenly realized.

Chen Yan greeted the two of them in surprise, "Why are you two here, ha ha." As he spoke, he quickly gave up the chairs for the two of them, took out his wallet and said, "I'll go to the next door to buy a bottle of water for you. Nothing, if I knew you were coming, I should have prepared some snacks."

"Don't be busy, it's not a guest. We are bored, so we come here for a walk. Is the business here good?"

Chen Yan smiled: "It's okay, the boss is my cousin. She often needs to buy goods, so I will help to look at the store. No matter whether the business is good or bad, I get [-] a month. My cousin took good care of me and gave me some clothes. .”

When she said this, Su Yan and Liang Kui naturally went to look at the clothes she was wearing, and sure enough there was an identical one hanging in the store.

When Su Yan came to see Chen Yan, he actually didn't know what to chat with Chen Yan. Chen Yan has changed now, but there is a big gap between being able to speak well and having a cheerful personality.

The three stayed together like this, without Lin Qiang, I really didn't know what to say for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit cold.

Liang Kui had a cheerful personality, but he couldn't do anything to Chen Yan, he couldn't find a topic to talk about for a long time, so he simply didn't speak.Eyes wandered over the clothes hanging in the store.

This is a shop of about [-] square meters, the decoration is simple, but it is clean.The clothes were hung carefully, and the most beautiful ones were hung in the most conspicuous places.

Liang Kui was purely looking for something to talk about, so he casually pointed to the clothes he thought were the most beautiful and asked, "How much is that one? It looks pretty good."

Chen Yan smiled: "Don't ask, you don't like the clothes here. They are all cheap, not good quality, and you don't wear them well. If you give them to your girlfriend, it will be a bit shabby..." She really felt so, although She was not familiar with Liang Kui, but she had also heard that Liang Kui had driven Chen Wanwan to a date in a car worth more than a million dollars.A million is an astronomical figure to her, and she has to be rich to afford it.

"I'll just ask casually, hehe, besides, I don't have a girlfriend." Liang Kui rubbed his nose and smiled.

Liang Kuido didn't need to ask, soon a young female guest came in and happened to like that dress. "Boss, how much is this?"

Chen Yan walked over with a smile: "This dress is 66, you can try it on if you like it."

The woman kept trying on the clothes, haggling, haggling, and haggling again, and finally bought the clothes for 45 yuan.

Liang Kui clicked his tongue and whispered to Su Yan, "It's really so cheap?"

Su Yan smiled, and asked Chen Yan with a smile: "Chen Yan, how much is the purchase price of the clothes?"

Chen Yan said with a chuckle: "To tell you the truth, the purchase price is only fifteen."

Liang Kui was dumbfounded: "Fifteen?"

"Well, how expensive do you think it can be? Who buys good clothes here? No matter how you do business, you can earn a difference. But more and more clothes are made, and the prices are almost sold out. Business is not as easy as before. I used to be very envious of my cousin, and even wanted to drop out of school to start a business. But my cousin envied me, envied that I could go to high school, and I would have the opportunity to go to university in the future." Chen Yan suddenly smiled: "My dad has a junior high school education, My mother is educated in elementary school. They didn’t study much, but they really hoped that our children would go to college, probably because they were afraid of poverty and hoped to succeed in education. I only recently found out that my father and the principal were classmates in elementary school and junior high school. Class, my dad went to the principal with cigarettes and alcohol, otherwise I would not be able to enter Class [-] with my grades. I just said, I was surprised before." She said with a long sigh, stared at the ground in a daze, silent After a long time, he murmured like a sigh: "But I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up..."

Going to the so-called fast class is of course an opportunity, but for students like Chen Yan who are looking for connections to get in and are prone to cranky thoughts, the grades have become a great pressure.

"My dad has never said that he and the principal are classmates for so many years. He must not want to say it. The more he talks, the more the gap will appear. He has such high expectations for me. What if I don't get into the university..." Chen Yan It really opened up the chatterbox. She said so many things in her heart by herself, but rather than saying that she wanted to enliven the atmosphere, it would be better to say that she was too depressed and under too much pressure. She was anxious to find someone to talk about her heart, and she always wanted to feel comfortable when she said it point.

How could she not be another 'dad'? All her father's expectations of her were also her expectations of herself.His father made her feel pressured, and she herself gave it pressure.The pressure builds up slowly, getting heavier and heavier.

Before the second year of high school started, she began to feel timid.For the first time in so many years, I am so close to being an 'excellent student', and I don't want to be left behind because my grades can't keep up.But after so many years, she understands that it is really not enough to learn this thing, not to mention that she has been clumsy for more than ten years.

After Liang Kui listened so much quietly, he didn't know what to say.He scratched his hair in frustration, thinking to himself that there was really nothing he could do to deal with sentimental girls.The problem Chen Yan mentioned is not a problem for him at all. He will think that there is nothing to worry about. Read, read, and you will be liberated after reading the college entrance examination. Is it so difficult to enter the university?Even if you can't pass the exam, why bother with it? If you don't go to university, there are still many paths to choose from.

But he doesn't think so now, he thinks more.He tried to think from Chen Yan's point of view, but then he realized that he was not Chen Yan, and he didn't understand Chen Yan, so he couldn't say any comforting words or perfunctory words.

Su Yan propped his chin with his hands, watched the flow of people coming and going outside the store, and kept silent.

He heard what Chen Yan said, and Chen Yan would say it, but he couldn't help but tell him. It didn't make sense to tell Liang Kui who was not familiar with him.

Chen Yan had to admit that she trusted Su Yan's words psychologically, it seemed that as long as Su Yan said there was no problem, it would really be all right.This is a kind of dependence, she thinks this is not love, because she never has any thoughts about Su Yan, this is her friend, the first friend who is sincere to her.

Sadness and depression in my heart, what I can't tell my family, I just want to tell my friends, I can only tell my friends.

Su Yanhao didn't talk nonsense, after listening to Chen Yan's thoughts, he said concisely: "Chen Yan, I can't take the college entrance examination instead of you."

Chen Yan trembled and bit her lip.

"If you have any worries or difficulties, you can come to me and talk to me at any time. Even if I can't help you solve your problems, I will listen to you carefully."

Su Yan said, got up and patted his buttocks, and left the clothing store with Liang Kui.

Liang Kui didn't speak all the way, he followed Su Yan back to the vegetable market in silence, and then rode back home.

Su Yan yawned: "It's too early in the morning, I'm going to catch up on sleep, wake me up at noon."

Liang Kui nodded, seeing that he was about to enter the room, he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so attentive to Chen Yan?"

Su Yan paused, and silently closed the door, without responding to Liang Kui's words.
