Mr Wayward

Chapter 8

Ji Changning had a happy childhood. His family was not rich but very warm. His parents loved him very much. His happy days came to an abrupt end when he was eight years old.

His parents died in a traffic accident. He originally wanted to go with him that day. His parents said that he had grown up, and the motorcycle could not seat three people, so he asked him to wait for them obediently at home.

The sudden bad news changed Ji Changning's life. After his uncle got the news, he hurried back to deal with the funeral. Many people said that it was lucky that he didn't bring the child with him, otherwise the whole family would be gone. Ji Changning was crying so hard at that time. I have thought countless times why my parents didn't take him with me.

On the night of the wake, the village chief came to burn incense, comforted him and then chatted with some old people at the gate of the ancestral hall. Their conversation did not deliberately avoid Ji Changning, because it was about Ji Changning's future whereabouts. He was only eight years old, and he needed someone to take care of him.

Ji Changning sat numbly in front of the brazier and burned the paper money. The gentleman who did the work said that the paper money and the joss stick would not be broken for a second. His pupils reflected the fire, and his eyes were dry and swollen.

"It's really a crime. The child is still so young. How could the couple be willing to leave him behind? The old man in the family has been gone for a few years. Who will take care of him in the future?"

After discussing and discussing, it is better to ask Ji Changning's relatives and friends if they are willing to adopt, but he said that he is young and has long remembered things, and no one wants to drag the bottle.If it doesn't work, the village has to pay to raise it.

Uncle stayed with him all night, his eyes were bloodshot, he smoked two packs of cigarettes, the ground was full of cigarette butts, and the next day he said, I will take care of Changning from now on.

At that time, there were already three boys in my uncle's house, and my aunt was pregnant with one. They were in a remote place, and the family planning was not strictly enforced, as long as they were willing to pay a fine.My uncle works outside all the year round and travels around with the construction team. He works hard and earns a lot, but it is still difficult to raise an extra boy.

He will always remember this kindness in his heart.

When he arrived at his uncle's house, he was the oldest child. Ji Chaosheng was two months younger than him, Ji Mingsheng was six years old, Ji Jingsheng was three years old, and seven months later, their youngest sister was born.

My aunt is a simple peasant woman. It is not easy to take care of such a large family. She always budgets carefully in everything she does, and likes to persuade them to be thrifty. Ji Changning knew it clearly.

They hardly need to buy green vegetables. My aunt has an acre of vegetable land, and there are seasonal vegetables to pick in spring, summer, autumn and winter. If they can't finish eating, they can even sell them in the market for money.

Ji Changning knew that she didn't like him, but she didn't treat him badly. She ate, drank, lived, and traveled together, and treated him as politely as a guest, just because she was gossiped about "abusing" the orphan of the elder brother's family .

In fact, it was just an accident. Ji Changning accidentally fell into a fish pond when he was helping in the fields with her. A kind-hearted person passing by picked him up. Unexpectedly, he developed a high fever after returning home. She's really not human at work.

Later, my aunt didn't let him go to the fields with me, and she didn't even need him to do housework. She just said that you should study hard. Her eldest son Ji Chaosheng complained a lot about this, and all the work was pushed to him. Plain rice.

Ji Changning felt sorry, and tried his best to do what he could. He went to school during the day, and took care of the children at home after school. His younger siblings were the most noisy ages, and his aunt was free to cook dinner for them only with his help.

It is true that half-children eat poor old men. The stomachs of boys are like black holes that cannot be filled. They can hold a rice cooker and eat up a bag of white rice. Ji Changning is the oldest, sensible, and delicious. They will first give it to their younger siblings. During the festival, they usually slaughter a chicken to celebrate. The children love chicken legs and chicken wings the most. My aunt will share one for each of them. Ji Changning can also share a chicken leg two years ago. Later, my sister grows teeth He wanted to eat it, but he hadn’t eaten it for several years. Whenever someone asked him to pick up chicken legs, he would silently swallow his saliva and say, “No, I don’t like chicken.”

Ji Changning lives an ordinary and monotonous life, studying and raising children. The only thing that makes people happy is that the youngest siblings are very obedient. As long as he is there, he is very happy. He will watch them while doing homework, and give them back when he is done. When I read fairy tales, the pages of the books were almost torn, and then I read Chinese textbooks to them, and by the way, I did preschool education, teaching them simple arithmetic and pinyin.

Afraid to take the child with him, Ji Changning thought that if he got married in the future, he would not have children.

His uncle’s family raised him until he graduated from high school. The high school he attended in their small town had mediocre teachers, and 1% of the students could only study junior college, but he was always No.[-]. The principal was very happy when he got the results in the college entrance examination. He hasn't scored such a high score in many years, and a banner was specially made for him to hang on the school gate.

The summer vacation after the college entrance examination was very long. During the period after the college entrance examination, it was rare for my uncle to rest at home. He said that he was old and his body was not good for him, and he was always tired easily, so he came back to rest.

Uncle is getting old, Ji Changning is a little sad.

On the day the admission notice was mailed, my uncle took them out to a restaurant for dinner. The next day, Ji Changning put the notice in his backpack with two sets of clothes in it. He made an appointment with his friend to go to work, and the location was just right. It is the city where the university is located. This is his first time traveling abroad, and his uncle gave him an extra 500 yuan as living expenses.

The job was recommended by a friend of a friend. Temporary workers were hired, and the money was calculated on a weekly basis. They said it was hard work but the salary was high, so the two of them boarded the bus to Jiangcheng. , the tuition fee is very high, and the two hit it off, and both wanted to work part-time during the summer vacation to earn tuition fees.

After staying on the bus for four or five hours, they had to transfer again after getting off the bus. The two asked passers-by for directions like headless chickens, and it took them a whole day to reach their destination. , and then lead people to the dormitory.

Eighteen men lived in a dormitory, and there was a sour smell as soon as they entered the door. It was summer again, and most of them were wearing shorts, smoking, playing cards and drinking. Ji Changning and his friends were shocked on the spot, and they had never been out. The stunned youth of society.

Forget it, the salary is high, bear with it.

They thought so, but the result was unsatisfactory. The high wages they said were overtime wages, and the guaranteed minimum wage was only 1000 yuan for a full month.They work as assembly line workers in an electronics factory. The lights are too bright to be eye-catching. The prescribed working hours are nine hours, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am, and from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm. meeting.

In less than a week, the friend's mentality collapsed, and he called his family to complain, and the family also felt sorry for him and asked him to quit his job and go home.

Ji Changning didn't go with him, and his uncle called him once to ask how his work was going, and he said it was fine, so don't worry.

He has grown up and can no longer rely on his uncle's house, it is not his home.

The food in the canteen in the factory was unpalatable and he couldn’t get enough to eat. Ji Changning went to the food stall with his workers for a toothbrush festival. He ordered a five yuan fried rice noodles. The workers complained that the work in the factory was too busy, saying If you want to resign, Ji Changning will have to find a new job first.

At the next table, a man dressed in a casual look glanced at them, and when he saw Ji Changning, his eyes stopped, and then he pulled the stool under his buttocks and moved over, saying, "Little handsome guy, I'm recruiting, are you interested? The salary is definitely higher than that of your broken factory."

The worker asked him where did he work?

The man chuckled, a little obscenely, good place, ugly people don't want it.

It doesn't sound like a decent place.

Ji Changning didn't take it seriously until he was told on the day of salary payment that he would have to hold back his salary for two weeks. He was anxious: "Didn't you say that you would hold back your salary for a week, why did you change your mind? I didn't get a penny after working for half a month? "

The old God of leadership is here: "Is there no cost to train you to be familiar with the work? You don't need to spend money on food and housing in the factory. If the workers leave if they say so, then our factory will die at a loss. If you want to leave, I will give it to you." One week's wages, and the rest will be used as training fees."

Ji Changning was stunned, how could a person be so shameless.

After work, his co-workers urged him to drink together. Ji Changning was still very sad about the wages, so he agreed to drink to relieve his worries, and also wanted to ask them about wages. He bought two cans of pineapple beer and gave one away. Give it to a co-worker, and he heard Gululu pouring it into his stomach. Coincidentally, he met the same person last time.

"Hey, handsome guy, we meet again, how do you think about it?" The little hooligan greeted him.

"Are you in arrears of wages?" Ji Changning asked him. He really had no choice. He predicted that when he asked for wages in the future, it would be as difficult as today. He couldn't continue to work in this factory, otherwise he would not even be able to afford the fare. .

The little hooligan rolled his eyes, "How is that possible."

Looking down at the beer in his hand, Ji Changning struggled inwardly. He remembered the money left in his pocket, and finally made up his mind: "Okay, I'll go."

The little hooligan took him to meet his elder brother, who praised him for being good-looking, and then brought him and several other good-looking young men and women. Ji Changning got into the van nervously, not knowing if he was doing the right thing, and soon His attention was attracted by the scenery outside the car, and they came to the most prosperous area of ​​the city.

When Ji Changning came to Shangjing, they walked through the employee passageway. The eldest brother took them to meet a man with glasses in uniform, with a very respectful attitude, and assured him that Ji Changning and his group were very honest.

The man with glasses sized them up, feeling a little disgusted, "Except for a few eye-catching ones, most of them are average, but there is a shortage of people recently, so we barely pass."

The man with glasses is from the personnel department. Now Ji Changning calls him Brother Xu. Brother Xu first asks him if he is sixteen and can he sign a contract?

Ji Changning: "I'm eighteen, I can't sign, I can only work part-time for two months."

Brother Xu frowned, "Do you have work experience?"

"I did it in the electronics factory."

Brother Xu asked him to be a doorman with little technical content. When someone came, he would bow slightly and say "Hello, welcome" with a smile, or open the door and lead the way.

After working for a few days, I was transferred to a bar as a waiter. Brother Xu said that this is more suitable for you, and you will have a rich future.

There are many people in the bar, and there are many rules. Brother Xu specially trained them before taking up their posts.

For the first 18 years, Ji Changning was a good boy of other people's family. He obeyed the law and was a good boy. He was worried every day in Shangjing, afraid of being betrayed.

Until he witnessed a guest harassing a waitress, the waitress shook his hand away, making a lot of noise, the head waiter stepped forward to ask the reason for the incident, and after he understood it, he asked someone to "invite" the guest out.

Ji Changning finally believed that Brother Xu said that they were serious businessmen and would not engage in forced buying and selling.

He works very well in the bar, and he is very popular because he is very willing to help others. He agrees when his colleagues ask him to help, and he usually does not fight or grab.

Brother Xu also asked him if he had any plans to do it for a long time, but Ji Changning declined. He just wanted to work in peace and stability, and he would resign and leave when school started.

A few guests came one day, and a familiar colleague elbowed him and said in a low voice, "The prince is here."

Ji Changning easily recognized the protagonist among the group of people, because Shang Jing's boss was warmly entertaining him. It was the first time he saw Shen Yichen, and since then the word "spirited and vigorous" has become real in his eyes, how do you say it? Well, you can tell at a glance that you are not from the same road.

The prince is very young, wearing casual clothes, tall and thin, with a smile on his mouth, he seems to be a very easy-going person at first glance.

Ji Changning is actually a bit envious. Is this the person who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth? Compared with him, one is the clouds in the sky, and the other is the dust in the ground. He looked at it for a while, and then lamented how beautiful his girlfriend is, After all, he is a young boy, and he still has a little longing for the relationship between men and women.

The prince doesn't come often, Ji Changning only sees him four times a month, and one of them was taken as a welcome guest, and a group of handsome men and women were used as vases at the door, the prince passed by him in suits and leather shoes, walking windy Very imposing.

Ji Changning complained in his heart that the person he brought with him every time was not the same as last time. He changed partners very diligently, and then suddenly realized that they were not in a serious relationship, and there was actually a man, so he directly opened the new The gate of the world.

Later, I inquired about this with my colleagues, and my colleagues said, why are you so stupid?

Ji Changning always likes to hide behind and look at the prince secretly, he wants to know what this kind of person usually does.

After a long walk at night, he finally bumped into a ghost. When he stared at someone for the nth time, the prince turned his head and the two of them looked at each other. Ji Changning lost his mind and lowered his head in shame.

Done.Ji Changning was trembling with fear for several days, and made up a lot of plots of Hong Kong movies in his brain, but nothing happened.

There are a group of women in the bar who especially like to tease Ji Changning, because he is good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, tender like a minor, and he has dimples when he smiles, his eyes seem to shine when he looks at you, giving the overall impression that he is a guy Pure and sweet big boy.

Someone would stuff notes and tips into his pockets, and even put money into his neckline. Ji Changning never refused. He would say thank you sister with a frown and sincere eyes.

He didn't know that someone was watching him at this time, Shen Yichen leaned lazily on the bar counter, seeing the little waiter pull out the money stuck in the collar of his uniform without changing his face, and put it in his pocket, he couldn't help it Laughed.

Ji Changning's favorite thing to do before going to bed is to take out the admission notice, read the words on it from beginning to end, put it back into the backpack, and then start counting the money. When there are many tips, there are even two or three hundred yuan a day. He'll go to sleep with a satisfied smile on his face.

He thinks it's good to be a waiter. Brother Xu also changed him to a four-person dormitory, but usually only two people live there, and the other two don't see anyone all day long. His roommate is Chen An, a handsome young man, Before going to work, he would put on makeup and spray perfume for half an hour in front of the mirror. There were often signs of love on his body. The way Chen An looked at him made him very uncomfortable, so he always avoided him, and at the same time stayed in the dormitory without talking to him.

Within two days, Brother Xu talked to him and asked him if he would like to be the prince's life assistant. The prince has a special suite in Shangjing, and he lacks someone to take care of him.

Ji Changning was very vigilant, "I may not be suitable for being clumsy, Brother Xu, you should find someone else."

Brother Xu could easily see his thoughts, and said lightly, "I've seen Mr. Shen like you a lot. It's not so easy to climb into his bed. He just asked you to do chores, sweep the floor and wipe the table. He doesn't live here every day. , the workload is reduced and the salary is higher, why are you still not happy? Besides, you can’t do it for a long time, and you still pick and choose and really treat yourself as a character?”

Ji Changning heard the Mai Tai in his words, and was a little worried that he would fire him, and thought that it would be a good thing if he could make more money in the last month, so he agreed after hesitation.

They are all fucking liars, he was eaten and wiped clean the night before he entered Shen Yichen's room.
