"Stop blaming others. If you want to blame me, it's your useless motorcycle!" Chen Feng looked around and said, "There's no shelter from the rain here. We're almost at Majiadian, so let's go there to take shelter."
"What should I do with my motorcycle?"
"Your old motorcycle is falling apart, what else do you want? Let's go!" Chen Feng pulled Jia Peng and left.
"Ouch! My waist!" Jia Peng gasped in pain, "Brother Feng, I saw you fell hard just now. Are you okay?"
"Me?" Chen Feng moved his whole body, "I'm fine."
"You are getting stronger and stronger now. I remember that when you were in prison, you were very weak. We were both bullied a lot. If we hadn't made meritorious deeds, we would have never seen the light of day in prison."
Anyway, Chen Feng didn't remember anything Jia Peng said, so he said helplessly: "Let's go, I'll help you."
The two people, who had become mud dogs, finally arrived at Majiadian with support.
But at this time, the rain also stopped, not that it stopped. Looking at the dry ground, the two of them realized that it had not rained here at all.
Jia Peng said speechlessly: "It must have been the passing Thunder God and Lightning Mother who saw us unhappy and gave us a punishment."
It was already three o'clock in the morning, and the two of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. They decided to eat something first before starting the job search.
But when they were eating, they discovered that they had no money.
"Brother Feng, I spent all my belongings on drinking last night. No, I probably spent more than I should have. Anyway, I don't have a penny on me now." Jia Peng said with a grimace.
"Then we can only starve." Chen Feng helplessly touched his rumbling stomach.
At this time, they came to a dilapidated street. There were not many pedestrians on this street, and some houses and doors on both sides had been demolished, leaving only ruins and tiles.
"With so many demolished buildings on this street, there will definitely be construction teams to do the construction in the future. It should be easy to find temporary work then." Jia Peng said with a smile: "If you can't do technical work, moving bricks should be no problem."
"The flowers will all be defeated by then." Chen Feng said: "Let's go look elsewhere. I saw there is a water spray pipe for watering flowers in the small park over there. Let's go and clean the mud first. We are such bears, if we didn’t know better, we would have thought we crawled out of the smelly ditch.”
The weather in May was already relatively hot, and the two of them had just experienced a heavy rain, so they didn't feel too cold even when the water from the pipe was poured on them.
After cleaning and drying a little, the two of them walked towards the west side of the street. There was a small restaurant open on the west side. It was also one of the few open restaurants on the street. The name was Old Brother Restaurant. Although they had already arrived It was lunch time, but no one came in or out. Of course, this was also because this street was already very deserted.
There is a wooden sign with paper at the door, which says: Recruiting an experienced chef.
"Brother Feng, can't you do our old job?"
"What's your old profession?"
"We worked as cooks for two years in prison because of our meritorious service. You worked as a cook. Even the prison guard praised your cooking for being delicious. When we left, the prison gave us some labor fees, but this time We spent all our money on gambling and drinking for a while." Jia Peng said with a smile.
Chen Feng secretly thought that he was not completely useless before.
While talking, the two walked into the Good Buddy Restaurant.
----------
Yuying Primary School.
As soon as the bell rang, the school was filled with excitement. At this time, it was time to finish school at noon. Some students lined up and followed the teacher out of the school gate to go home after school. Some students did not go back at noon and ate in the school cafeteria or outside the school.
Small dining table.
In the classroom of Class 2, Grade 6.
Chen Xiaomeng waited until all her classmates had gone out before taking out an old-fashioned aluminum lunch box from her schoolbag that is now uncommon.
After opening it, there was a steamed bun and a pile of black vegetables inside.
Looking at this dark dish, Chen Xiaomeng sighed and raised her forehead, Sister Su Qing, why did you burn the vegetables again?
In the morning, she picked up her lunch box and left without opening it to see what was in the lunch box given to her by Su Qing.
Let's make ends meet, never waste it. Chen Xiaomeng's eyes are firm. Saving money is the first priority now, and everything else is just a cloud.
After taking a bite, Chen Xiaomeng frowned. It was not fried, but too much dark soy sauce was added, which made it salty.
She thought of Chen Feng again, and the angry little universe in her heart burned again, and her soul was weak! I live frugally here, but you use the money my mother gave me to drink and gamble. This is simply unforgivable!
Why do I have such an annoying father!
She calmed down her injured heart and began to eat helplessly. At this moment, she heard the footsteps outside the door, and with lightning speed, she covered the lunch box and put it into the table hole.
The classroom door opened, and a beautiful long-haired woman wearing a suspender skirt walked in.
"Teacher Li." Xiaomeng stood up immediately.
The visitor is Li Yue, her head teacher and Chinese teacher of Class 2, Grade 6.
"Chen Xiaomeng, you didn't go to the cafeteria to eat?" Li Yue asked.
"I...I brought my own food."
"Eating cold food is not good for the stomach." Li Yue said. She naturally knew about Chen Xiaomeng's family situation and was very concerned about it privately.
Chen Xiaomeng said hurriedly: "My lunch box is insulated and it's still hot."
"No, you can eat with me at noon from now on. I have monthly meal supplements, so I can't eat."
Chen Xiaomeng shook her head like a rattle, "No, I'm not used to eating in the cafeteria."
Li Yue didn't force herself any further. She knew Chen Xiaomeng better and knew that this child was very strong and that there were some things that she couldn't say more about. "Have you finished eating?"
"Eat...finished." Chen Xiaomeng didn't want Li Yue to see her old-fashioned lunch box, which was weird for keeping warm.
"If you come to my office after eating, I'll talk to you."
"Okay, Teacher Li."
Chen Xiaomeng stood up and followed Li Yue out of the classroom.
The teacher's office is also on the sixth floor of the teaching building, diagonally opposite Class 2 of the sixth grade.
There is no one in the office. The teachers who went home at noon have gone home, and those who went to have lunch have not returned yet.
"Sit." Li Yue pulled out a chair and asked Chen Xiaomeng to sit down.
She picked up a red apple on her desk, picked up a fruit knife and started peeling it. While peeling the apple, she said: "Xiaomeng, your score has dropped in this Chinese language unit test. What happened? Is it right?
What happened at home that affected your study?"
Chen Xiaomeng secretly thought that since Chen Feng came back from prison, looking at him every day made her feel annoyed and in a very bad mood, which indeed affected her studies.
"I heard your father is back from prison?"
"Teacher..." Chen Xiaomeng asked in surprise: "How do you know about my father?"
