Self-cultivation of spare tire

Late at night, in a silent public phone booth.A tall and thin figure hunched over slightly, huddled in the narrow phone booth.

"Your grandpa is fine, he is a teacher at the school... Hey, they all thought that you had no money to go to college, and they organized a fundraising spontaneously, but in the end they didn't find you and put it on hold—by the way, I heard that your homeroom teacher resigned from his job at No. [-] Middle School! I don’t know why, but he said he was going to support education for the Yi nationality..."

Chen Zhu let out a breath of white air. The weather in Moscow was too cold. He turned around and closed the door of the phone booth. Fang Xu's voice on the phone became very clear.

"And that bastard Jiang Jianren, he was the one who threatened you with the recording, now he came out to pretend to be a good guy to inquire about you, and I heard that he almost went to your hometown to look for you, but he was soon— —I was stopped by that person, and I heard that I was taught a lesson, so I’m a little more honest now.”

Chen Zhu listened silently to Fang Xu talking about all kinds of things in the country. His family and his teacher were all people he cared about day and night.

Only thinking about these people, in a foreign country where the language is not spoken, Chen Zhu feels that he still has a home and will not drift with the waves.

Only when Fang Xu mentioned Xu Lanting did Chen Zhu wake up the little bit of malice in his heart.

He couldn't help hating Xu Lanting, and while hating Xu Lanting, he also hated himself who was greedy for tenderness back then.

"Xu Lanting," Chen Zhu said in a deep voice, "didn't trouble you?"

"How is it possible?" Fang Xu angrily explained Xu Lanting's behavior of blocking people downstairs in his house.

Chen Zhu said worriedly: "Then, did he attack your family?" According to Chen Zhu's plan at the time, Xu Lanting would not attack Fang Xu.

According to Xu Lanting's temperament, the man should be very clear that Chen Zhu wrote the IOU, and there is still a slight connection between the two.

But if Xu Lanting dared to touch the people around Chen Zhu again, they would never meet again in this lifetime.

"That's not—" Fang Xu thought about it, it seems that after he beat Xu Lanting that day, Xu Lanting didn't turn around to take revenge on him, "It seems, it seems, he just wants to find you."

"That's good." Chen Zhu felt relieved, he looked out of the window, and saw snowflakes starting to fall in a silver-white sky.

"What the hell..." Fang Xu muttered, "You have been forced into this by him, and he still refuses to let you go, what the fuck, you scumbag!"

Hearing the familiar swear words, Chen Zhu couldn't help laughing in a low voice, "He won't find me, don't worry."

Chen Zhu looked at the dusty snowflakes outside the window, and said lightly: "People like Xu Lanting, he must get it on a whim. He is just possessive to me. Wait until the freshness of that young man passes, or, wait If he has a new love, he will naturally forget about me."

At that time, he can go home...

Fang Xu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He thought of Xu Lanting standing in despair downstairs of his house, and sighed, "I hope, I hope Xu Lanting is only obsessed with you for a while."

But Fang Xu remembered Xu Lanting's actions these days, and still said: "But you still have to be careful, Xu Lanting, he, he..."

Chen Zhu: "What's wrong?"

"He looks for you all over the world like crazy." Fang Xu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the largest LED screen in the city center, repeating a sentence repeatedly.

【Azhu, please go home】

Not only that, Fang Xu found out that even several foreign media had published revelations about missing persons.

Moreover, Xu Lanting still plans to go abroad in the near future, but he doesn't know which force of the Xu family has tripped him up, so he hasn't left yet.

"Understood." Chen Zhu blinked, not wanting to mention Xu Lanting, "By the way, I found a temporary worker here, and I have a temporary residence. If it's convenient for you, send a message to my grandfather."

"Don't worry." Fang Xu said, "Even if that person has the ability to reach the sky, he won't even try to touch my electronic equipment." Recently, Fang Xu hired a dozen programmers to watch his server day and night, It's like a spy war.

Chen Zhu smiled, "Fang Xu, thank you for your kindness. Let's get together again when I get back."

"Success!" Fang Xu touched his chest, and his cheerful laughter dispelled the slight nostalgia of the boy on the other end of the phone. "The disco arrangement is waiting for you to return triumphantly." It sounded like Chen Zhu was going to war.

"Okay." Chen Zhu hung up the phone with a smile, his smile was on his lips, and when he came out, it gradually disappeared...

The young man gathered the duck down coat on his body, put on a thick hat, and blended into the night with his head full of wind and snow.

Moscow is bitterly cold, and the country is still in the heat of the autumn tiger, and the first snow in early winter has already fallen here.

There were quite a few drunk people on the side of the road, staggering, and occasionally yelling words that Chen Zhu couldn't understand at all.

Chen Zhu quickened his pace, walked through the long and dark underground tunnel, and returned to his hut.

The place where he lives is not bad. It is a gathering place for migrant workers, and there are many Chinese who come to work.

"Boy, are you still going out to pick up work in this cold weather?" It was a big brother from Northeast China who greeted him with a very friendly mouthful of ice cream.

Chen Zhu shook his head, "I called my family."

"You went out to make a phone call?" Northeast Brother said kindly, "Young man, next time you call home, you can use my mobile phone. It's okay, it's not easy for you to come out to make money at such a young age..."

Chen Zhu thanked him, everything went well in Moscow these few days, everyone he met was fine.

He is not a person who is afraid of hardships and hardships, so whether in the valleys of Guizhou or in the ice and snow of Moscow, the boy can grow in adversity.

It seemed that only Xu Lanting was the darkest and most unfortunate time in his life.

Now Chen Zhu got out of Xu Lanting's control as he wished.For a long time, he felt the vastness of the world and the expectation for the future.

"Young man, the orchards in Australia are already in season for picking. How about we go there together?" Several older brothers who were doing odd jobs together extended an invitation to Chen Zhu.

Chen Zhu thought for a while that he had stayed in Moscow long enough, and it was time to change places.

"Okay." Chen Zhu said with a smile, "I haven't been to Australia yet."

"Australia is not as cold as here. It's like spring all year round." It was too cold at night, and the few people didn't feel sleepy, so they got together and chatted about the mountains.

"Yes, the environment in Australia is also really good. You can see kangaroos wandering around everywhere in the street, just like people."

Someone sighed, "Anywhere is fine, but my own home is the best."

Everyone was silent for a moment, and almost fell into endless nostalgia.

Chen Zhu rolled up the quilt and asked aloud, "Why do you all go abroad to work? Aren't there many cities in China where you can also find jobs?"

"Hey, what else could be the reason—there is no money. People like us who can't read a lot of characters have no work to do in the countryside, and they can't earn money. It is even more difficult to find a job in the city, so they have to go outside. Run and see if there is any way out."

"Yes, if our village is not so poor, no one would be willing to leave home to be exposed to the wind and sun."

Chen Zhu learned that these people were all from impoverished counties in the three northeastern provinces.

"Economic lagging will lead to a large number of brain drains. If people cannot be retained, the economy will lag even further. This is a vicious circle." What Chen Zhu said, a group of people could not understand it, "However, the current state Poverty alleviation projects are already being implemented, and many impoverished counties in the three northeastern provinces have been lifted out of poverty."

Some people understand "poverty alleviation" and suddenly realize, "Yes, the country has a lot of policies, and they also think about our poor place. We really have no money there, and we finally built a sanitation station and were overwhelmed by the blizzard. Heck, alas—”

Chen Zhu: "Teaching people how to fish is not as good as giving them fish." He thought for a while and said, "I think that in the future, the policy will be more perfect step by step, and by then..."

He paused and didn't say any more.

Chen Zhu only hopes that he can contribute his meager strength in his lifetime.

Hopefully, by then Xu Lanting will have forgotten about him and regard him as an insignificant episode in his life.

But what Chen Zhu didn't know was that what Fang Xu said, "Xu Lanting was looking for him like crazy", was a truthful description.

After Chen Zhu disappeared, Xu Lanting seemed to be a different person. He no longer maintained the so-called gentleness and decency, and mercilessly dismissed several Xu family members who had angered him.

Even, regardless of the face of Mr. Xu, he quickly sent Xu Yonglian into the police station.

He solved all the people or things that stood in front of Xu Lanting with the most cruel and ruthless means.

He no longer has any extra thoughts to play tricks with that group of people, and he no longer wastes time maintaining his so-called comprehensiveness.

Xu Lanting was like a precision instrument that suddenly stopped functioning, supplying all energy only to everything about Chen Zhu.

"Mr. Xu, we recently found some traces in a foreign labor agency."

Xu Lanting took over the information in the person's hand, glanced at it, and frowned, "Why is the information so vague?"

"After all, it is a foreign country. Our people have tried their best to investigate, but their confidentiality work is very strict, so we only have a rough idea here."

"Moscow—" Xu Lanting whispered to himself.What can Chen Zhu do in such a cold place?

Moving goods, going to the construction site... Xu Lanting closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

He couldn't imagine how Chen Zhu's hands, turning over the pages of the book and holding the pen, carried the heavy loads.

Moscow is so cold, the wind and snow over there can almost drown people.Xu Lanting didn't know how Chen Zhu would face such a difficult situation alone.

Although he knew that the Chen Zhu he knew had always been perseverant and never bowed to fate, but the more this happened, the more Xu Lanting's heart ached.

He could have held the boy in his palm and offered all the good things in the world—but he was one step too late after all.

The young man no longer needed everything from Xu Lanting, he flew into the chilling sky with wings, and was alone with the wind and rain.

Xu Lanting looked at the jobs mainly introduced by the intermediary company, such as shoveling snow, cleaning the streets, moving goods... The man tried his best to restrain himself so as not to collapse.

He knew that he couldn't fall down just yet.

"Arrange a plane ticket to Moscow immediately." Xu Lanting thought for a while and said, "Also, tell the people over there to keep an eye on it so that nothing goes wrong."

Xu Lanting inquired about Chen Zhu's vague traces countless times, and then the news disappeared.

He ignited hope again and again, but was thrown into the abyss in an instant.

Xu Lanting tasted unprecedented pain, but couldn't help but chase after that person when he got news from Chen Zhu again.

He is no longer a bird, but a moth.

Chen Zhu was the cluster of flames that made him willing to be smashed to pieces.
