Chapter 11 Fifty thousand
I am very happy in the blue sky. This comfort once made Fang Jun have the idea of "it's good to live like this", but this idea is not recognized by himself. Why did he come to Shenzhen and why did he work hard? Everything is deeply rooted in his mind. He doesn't want to forget the purpose of his struggle like "Li San", so he reminds himself all the time.
In order not to let his mother, who is thousands of miles away, worry about him, Fang Jun calls home every week to report that he is safe.
However, today, the family took the initiative to call, which made Fang Jun a little worried. He thought something had happened at home!
"Hey! Mom, why did you call me?" Fang Jun connected the phone call from home. Because there was only his mother at home, Fang Jun shouted directly without listening to the voice.
"Nothing, my mother's mood today is different from the past, so I just want to call my son. Do you think mom is annoying? Mother's kind voice came from the other side of the phone. Fang Jun's mother's name is Li Huarong, a gentle and beautiful woman. I heard from Li Huarong that it took Fang Jun's father three years to catch up with her.
"How can it be!"
"Fang Jun, how are you doing over there?" Li Huarong asked with concern.
"It's always been good. Don't worry about me, Mom, how are you doing recently? For a long time, on the phone, Fang Jun can only say these few greetings to his mother. It's not that they have nothing to say, but that there is no need to say so much between them. Everything is expressed in a few short greetings.
"Mom is very good! Oh, I have something to tell you." Li Huarong said on the other side of the phone, "Your father likes to buy lottery tickets before he goes out, do you know?"
"Hmm! What's the matter? Why did you suddenly talk about this?" Fang Jun, who didn't know, was inevitably heart-in-hearted when he heard Li Huarong mention his father.
"After your father died, I have also been buying the number he often buys. The one I bought recently won the prize! Fifty thousand, hehe, it's not a small amount. Li Huarong laughed on the phone and looked very excited.
"Really?" Fang Jun didn't seem to believe it. Because his father has bought the same number for decades, and he hasn't won it again!
"Hmm! So, we have money now. Fang Jun, come back to school. We are rich now. This family no longer needs you to work outside. Come back to study. Only reading can be promising!" Li Huarong's painstaking efforts are for Fang Jun.
Fang Jun was silent for a while. Then he smiled, "Mom, I'm fine here, and I've learned a lot here. That's important knowledge that can't be learned in books. I don't want to go to school anymore." It's not that Fang Jun doesn't want to go to school, but that he has missed Peking University where he wants to go most. He is not interested in other universities. Those universities are not as attractive as the blue sky.
There was also a moment of silence on the phone.
"Then come back. Even if you don't go to school, you don't have to work outside. Come back and learn technology!" Li Huarong still wants to arrange some way for Fang Jun.
"Mom, I'm not young anymore, and I can decide my own way forward. You don't have to worry about me. I'm really good here. As long as you are well, I will be relieved, and I can work here with peace of mind. Fang Jun said.
"Well, since it's your own decision, I won't force you. Then you don't need to send money home in the future. Just take care of yourself. If you meet a girl you like outside, don't feel inferior. Just pursue her. Mom will support you. There was a long-lost laughter on Li Huarong's side.
"Well, I won't send money home in the future. You have to take care of yourself." Fang Jun also smiled.
Hanging up the phone, Fang Jun seemed to be relieved. He felt that his burden was much lighter.
"With that 50,000, I don't have to worry about my mother's life for the time being. I can fight for myself well, and I can pursue the things I like. Now I don't need to rush to work hard for my world, because that money is enough for my mother to live a good life for a few years. Fang Jun thought so from the bottom of his heart.
Tonight is a rare good night! The moon is bright, the stars are all over the sky, and everything is so beautiful. Such a beautiful night makes it difficult for Fang Jun to fall asleep.
In the moonlight, Fang Jun dialed Yi Xueer's phone number.
"Hey! What's the matter?" There was a weak voice of Yi Xueer on the other side of the phone, like a child who didn't wake up.
"Hey, the night sky is beautiful tonight. Are you watching?" Fang Jun is in a good mood at this moment.
"Are you sick? It's so late, did you call here to say this?" There was a voice of Yi Xueer's dissatisfaction on the phone.
"Ha ha, because I couldn't sleep, I called you and wanted to talk to someone." Fang Jun is in a good mood. Even if Yi Xueer's tone is not very good, it still can't affect his mood.
"I can't sleep. Why do you want to talk to me?" Yi Xueer asked.
Fang Jun looked at the sky, and the stars seemed to reflect his bright future. Because I don't have many friends here.
Hearing Fang Jun's sudden sad words, Yi Xueer's heart trembled, "Because I don't have many friends here!" Fang Jun's words stroked her heart like a breeze, but the breeze set off a big wave in the ocean of her heart, overturning the sailboat that she had been unwilling to communicate with people for a long time.
"Okay, let's talk if you have something to say! I'll just listen." Yi Xueer smiled sincerely on the phone. She doesn't need too many friends. It's beautiful to have a sincere friend.
"Nah! Have you seen that the moonlight tonight is very beautiful, much more beautiful than the deliberately decorated night scene in Shenzhen. Natural beauty is always the best. Do you know? In my opinion, the beauty between other girls and you is also different. Your beauty is natural, just like tonight's night sky. The beauty of other girls is decorated, just like the night market in Shenzhen. Fang Jun looked up at the stars, relaxed his inner feelings, selflessly reserved, and said what he thought.
"What's the matter? I didn't expect you to praise others!" Yi Xueer seems to be very useful for Fang Jun's praise.
"Ha ha, the words of praise were taught by the teacher in primary school. I seldom praise others because I don't think they are worthy of praise. Fang Jun's voice is very gentle.
"Did you call me just to praise me?" Yi Xueer asked.
"Let's go to the cinema tomorrow! Last time because I had something to do, I couldn't accompany you. I'll make it up this time. This is the first time that Fang Jun has invited a girl in 19 years.
"I won't go." Yi Xueer refused Fang Jun directly without any hesitation.
"Why?" Fang Jun asked.
Because I have something to do tomorrow. You didn't cherish the opportunity I gave you last time. You regret it. Yi Xueer smiled proudly.
"This is the first time in 19 years that I have been rejected by a girl." Fang Jun said. That's the truth. This is the first time he has invited a girl in 19 years, but he was rejected by others for the first time.
"Oh, that's it!" Yi Xueer didn't seem to believe it. The day after tomorrow, I have time the day after tomorrow. In fact, Yi Xueer will be fine tomorrow. She just wants to keep the girl's reserved.
I heard from Fang Jun that the moonlight tonight is beautiful, so Yi Xueer also walked out of the room and sat on the bench downstairs of the dormitory, looking at the beautiful night sky, the boundless Milky Way, countless stars, everything is so wonderful.
Although Fang Junyi Xueer is not together, she appreciates the same bright moon and looks up at the same night sky. The laughter of the two can be transmitted to each other by phone, and the endless Milky Way seems to reflect each other's smiles. They talked a lot that night, and they were doomed to fall asleep that night.
