A few hours ago, it was probably 20:35 pm.

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy hesitated to walk into a lottery shop on the West Street of Changling.

He plucked up the courage and spoke, "I...I want to ask, are you recruiting people in your store?"

The owner of the lottery shop was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No need, no, little brother, you seem to be not old!"

The little boy responded timidly and disappointedly: "That's disturbing!"

After saying that, he walked out.

...

Then the other party walked into the spicy hot pot restaurant next to it.

"Boss, are you recruiting people in your store?"

The little boy gritted his teeth and said, "I...I want to find a part-time job."

The boss of Malatang quipped and said, "You are too young, are you still in school?"

"But I have time tonight, I can come here at night, and Saturday and Sunday." The little boy answered anxiously.

The boss of Malatang smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was not necessary.

...

shoe store.

Little boy: "Are you guys recruiting people?"

The clerk Xiao replied with interest: "Tell me!"

The little boy seemed to see hope, and he asked excitedly: "Then can I? I can come here tonight and Saturday and Sunday."

Several shopping guides in the store smiled. How could they go to work like this?

And even if it is a part-time job, it is not arranged like this, but this child is too young.

"Are you eighteen years old?" The manager smiled and shook his head, but still asked.

The little boy held it in his arms and responded: "I, I'm just a little tender."

The shopping guide smiled and replied, "Are you still in school? Are you in high school?"

The little boy responded with difficulty: "Not yet!"

Everyone looked at each other and felt amused and laughed. This middle school student who had not graduated from junior high school.

"This will definitely not be able to recruit you. Moreover, you are still studying, so you can only find a part-time job!" explained a shopping guide.

The girl next to her also smiled and shook her head: "It's difficult to work part-time. You may have summer vacation jobs, but it's not a holiday now!"

The little boy sighed, "I'm disturbing, I'll go to another place to ask!"

...

In this way, he went in one store after another, and basically asked the same sentence after entering.

"Are you recruiting people?"

"Do you want a part-time job?"

As a result, he left more than a dozen stores and refused. Even if he had the need to recruit employees, he basically did not dare to take him in.

"Oh, young man, it's not that I don't help you, it's that you're really too young!"

"And you're still studying."

"It would be fine if you look mature and experienced. Now you can tell that you are not an adult at first glance."

"No, no! Too small!"

"That's definitely not possible. Go and go back to study!"

"What kind of work do you do so young!"

"It's not a salary issue, I really don't dare to ask you."

"Not studying? It's not okay if you don't study. It's too young."

The little boy became more and more desperate as he asked. He almost begged the boss to take him in, "I'm really short of money. I can do it. Otherwise, no one can see them if I stay in the kitchen to help."

"The salary doesn't have to be paid very high!"

At this moment, the owner of a restaurant sighed and shook his head with difficulty, "Where are your family members?"

The little boy's eyes were slightly red, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "My mother is hospitalized, I want to make money."

The boss frowned vigorously: "What about your dad? Where is grandparents?"

The little boy choked and said, "My dad ran away, gambling owes a lot of debts, and now everyone is looking for him."

The boss knew that the recent World Cup must have hurt people, and he was also very pitiful when he looked at this child.

In fact, he had seen the child just now and asked from door to door.

There is indeed a shortage of waiters in my store, but the key is that the child is too young and he feels uneasy.

The little boy begged with red eyes: "Boss, I can do it. I don't want to go to school anymore. I come here every day. Can you give me a monthly salary advance in advance?"

"My mom is still lying in the hospital!"

"Wait for the money!"

He sobbed while wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I can do anything, I am willing to let me do two jobs alone."

"Please!"

“I really need to be in this job!”

Seeing this child so hard, I couldn't help but feel compassion!

The boss lady was also a little reluctant, so she walked over and said, "How about doing this, it would be said that it was a friend's house coming to help."

The little boy seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He knew that he didn't dare to ask for himself in many places because he was too young.

He responded anxiously: "Yes, yes, just say I came to help."

The boss frowned, then walked over and said to his wife, "No, you see, this child is still so young, and it's not a solution to drop out of school now."

"Besides, he is in his current situation, and it is possible that the medical expenses at home will not be enough at that time."

"I feel it's better to ask him to contact his family and relatives."

In this way, the little boy walked around the entire West Street of Changling.

No shop dared to take him in, and basically asked him to study hard and find relatives and friends to help.

What's so damn, this child is extremely stubborn, but he is unwilling to provide information about his relatives at home.

I have to work and make money by myself.

Since he first tried to work part-time while going to school, he finally lied that he had no school and had already come out.

He even lied that he was sixteen years old and would become an adult in two years.

But after all, I was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and I didn’t look like an adult at all, and no one was willing to take in it.

Gradually time passes.

Changling West Street also slowly became deserted.

The little boy finally came to the door of Wentian Pavilion. If everyone said there was no way, they would go to Master Li.

But the door is not open here.

"Is anyone?"

"Hello? Is anyone here?"

He knocked on the door outside Wentian Pavilion for more than half an hour, and no one answered no matter how he shouted.

Immediately, a sudden rush.

The heavy rain poured down, trapping him here completely.

The night became deeper and deeper, and he accidentally got wet in his clothes. He hurried in the corner and choked and cried alone.

He didn't know what to do, it seemed to be getting colder and colder.

He didn't dare to go home either, for fear that those who were collecting debts would be blocked at the door.

The stomach was roaring.

This heavy rain seemed to have been insufficiency for a long time, and it continued to fall.

Time seems particularly long at this moment, and it is tormenting, as if it is impossible to wait for the end.

...

The long night finally faded silently.

Wait until dawn.
To be continued...
