In the summer of 20 10, I went to college in the south. One week before the exam, I learned that my mother had severe gallstones and needed surgery. I am in a hurry. Without the consent of my family, I took a leave of absence and sneaked home with the only 400 yuan money.

Because I wasted money, the day after my mother finished the operation, my father kicked me out of the hospital and ordered me to go back to school in the collective complaints of my family. Be in a bad mood and exhausted. When I woke up in the chair next to Beizhen Railway Station, my sister secretly stuffed 600 yuan's living expenses into my bag, which was taken away by the hateful thief. I was tortured by poverty since I was a child, and now I am tortured by poverty again.

In the remote railway station of the town, except for a few pedestrians in a hurry, I stood outside the low ticket window, holding only 75 yuan in my hand, begging the conductor to buy a ticket for 80 yuan.

No matter how to explain it, the conductor has a cold expression from beginning to end. Nothing is nothing, and nonsense won't help.

But I only have 75 yuan left on me, and I lost 600 yuan. If I miss the bus back to school, I will really miss three exams. Failure to get a scholarship of several hundred yuan from the college will undoubtedly add insult to injury to my parents. If I fail, I need time to study again, but I need more time to work part-time to support myself, not to study again. Think about the consequences, they are all very poor and almost desperate. I squatted on the ground and cried with my head in my hands.

Some people say that when God closes a door for you, he will inevitably open a window.

Miraculously, I met my senior Chen Bo at the town railway station.

At that moment, I knew that the handsome and arrogant Chen Bo in my junior's eyes was so charming.

I seem to have caught the last straw. Although Chen Bo and I didn't cross paths, I was still lucky enough to shout out his name and try to wave at him three meters away.

Chen Bo solved my urgent need, but poverty limited my imagination. Even the most basic chat has become empty, and the words have no meaning. Two lines of disappointed tears left me nowhere to hide in front of him.

Back to school, Chen Bo invited me to eat a bowl of old hemp wonton. Although I refused wonton, I wolfed it down that day. Once people are hungry to the limit, they will like to drink raw water.

Before he left, Chen Bo threw me 800 yuan, saying that he would tide over the difficulties first and pay it back when he had money.

I said no, I will make money at home tomorrow, but Chen Bo didn't answer the phone and turned to leave.

Looking at the heavy 800 yuan on the table, my heart is mixed with sadness and joy.

I feel sorry for my carelessness. When my mother was seriously ill in hospital, I not only failed to relieve their pressure, but lost a month's living expenses. I don't know what 600 yuan means to the average family, but for a family that depends on the weather and earns less than 7 thousand a year, it's not a small income.

But I thank everyone I meet in my life and my parents for giving me the opportunity to live and learn. Thank my sister for helping me in my life, because she is poor and ragged; Thanks to Chen Bo, a familiar stranger, who came forward to save me when I was desperate and made me cry with joy.

On August 20th 1 1 year1/day, I promised to be Chen Bo's girlfriend.

That year, I was a senior. Every day, I write my graduation thesis between the library and the dormitory with my notebook in the second-hand market, and I am also tutoring a junior high school girl in English. My life is monotonous and full.

Chen Bo and his friends registered an internet company in Chongqing to promote their products. Although we are 340 kilometers apart, as long as Chen Bo is not busy, they will come to see me in Chengdu, but I have never taken the initiative to visit him in Chongqing. The round-trip fare of more than 200 yuan is my living expenses for half a month. I can't bear it.

Chen Bo always complains that I don't care about him. I never take the initiative to call him. No matter what happens, I like to digest it in my heart and not tell him. In fact, I cherish this relationship, but he doesn't know that long-distance phone porridge is expensive. Although feelings and money can't be compared, I don't want to quarrel with him because of money, and I don't want to affect our feelings because of money.

I graduated on 20 12. Among the many resumes I submitted, a magazine in Chongqing invited me to interview an editor, and I am quite interested in this position.

Chen Bo came to Chengdu to help me collect things. I am reluctant to throw away all the washbasins, bedding and boots that I have worn for three years. My luggage is packed in three snakeskin pockets.

I can't beat Chen Bo. We took a taxi to the railway station. Although we sat fast and didn't waste time, I was still worried. From the school to the railway station, it almost crosses Chengdu from south to north. Without 200 yuan, I would never have reached my destination. I'm afraid of poverty, but I feel bad about money.

The house rented by Chen Bo is located in a long uphill food street which is nearly 50 degrees. This street is sandwiched between two colleges and universities. Every day, when the meal arrives, the bustling students in the street are always in an endless stream.

At the end of Changpo, the rental house with an area of less than 15 square meter is very simple, with a shabby double bed, two stools and a barber shop cabinet to form a table, and a family of five shares a bathroom, but the monthly rent is only in 200 yuan. I complain that it took Chengdu a month to rent a taxi.

Chen Bo said thoughtfully, "Feelings and money can't be compared. When we are well off, we will change to a house with a relatively good environment and temporarily wronged you to live here. "

I said it's nice here.

I was successful in the interview, and my salary was 1800, but the pressure was not great. I made up my knowledge in the industry for a few days and took up my post with the attitude of learning from the society.

At that time, Chen Bo's salary was almost twice as much as mine, but we still couldn't save any money.

I repay the student loan in 800 yuan every month and send 500 yuan's living expenses to my family. Almost all the expenses between us are paid by Chen Bo, which I always take for granted.

For a poor and scared girl, isn't this the best boyfriend she ever dreamed of?

20 13, the two universities on both sides of the food court have exaggerated to varying degrees. More and more students come out to rent houses, and the surrounding house prices have risen sharply. Our rent in 200 yuan rose to 500 yuan overnight.

I discussed with Chen Boyi and found a partition room shared by seven households in the village in the city over the weekend. It's a bit crowded, but fortunately, water and natural gas are free, and the rent is only one month 150 yuan. The landlord is a pervert, charging rent for half a year at a time with a deposit of 500.

After paying the rent, my total money is less than 700, and I have to stay for a whole month. In order to save money, we calculate the distance of light rail by bus, and we can commute to 8 yuan per person every day.

After work, I bought four steamed buns downstairs in the company, returned to the village in the city and waited for Chen Bo to come back, and bought a bowl of vegetarian rice noodles for five yuan. Chen Bo eats rice noodles, and I eat soup and steamed bread. The boss is very kind. Every time we add not only soup but also rice noodles, a bowl of rice noodles for five yuan can make us feel a gluttonous feast.

Chen Bo often works overtime on weekends, so I got a part-time job in a hotel near the village in the city. As long as there is a banquet on weekends, the hotel will inform me to deliver the food. Taking a part-time job in a hotel can not only solve three meals a day, earn 60 yuan, but also secretly pack the leftovers of the guests and take them back to Chen Bo for supper.

At that time, we were the poorest, but we all valued each other.

Fucking life never gives us any breathing space. The landlord will not refund the money if the whole village in the city is demolished. The three tenants who stayed in the rental house finally moved to an older house with the landlord. The landlord lives on the second floor and Chen Bo and I live on the first floor.

Outside the window is a garbage dump, even if you close that rickety window, you can't stop the wind from penetrating. Of course, that's not the point. I didn't know the beginning of the nightmare until a mouse got into bed and peeped in the middle of the night.

Chen Bo is as timid as I am. Whenever a mouse visits, we always curl up in bed and hug each other tightly, and no one dares to rush. When the mouse leaves, we sleep.

Once people are poor to the limit, even mice have to pinch you.

Fortunately, during the months when I was tortured by rats, the project of Chen Bo Company did very well. When Chen Bo threw thirty thousand dollars on the bed, I couldn't control my emotions any more.

We finally used up the rent for half a year and moved out of the old building. We rented a single room with an outer balcony on the 0/7th floor along the light rail/KLOC-. I can see the night view of half of Nan 'an District at night. I feel much better, but I am still poor.

In 20 14, Chen Bo's company expanded its production capacity and moved from the marble residential building in Nan 'an District to the office building on Gaoda in Yubei District. Almost at the same time, the company leader talked to me and wanted to form a team to make an official WeChat account. Because the initial capital investment is not much, the office address can only be selected in the remote Banan District.

Afraid of poverty, I couldn't give in to the temptation of money for a while, so I agreed to the team leader without consulting Chen Bo and began to do preliminary work for the formation of the team.

When I was working in Banan District, Chen Bo and I were 55 kilometers apart. Every day, I am so busy that I forget to eat and sleep. I work overtime to plan the topic selection and content direction of the official WeChat account. Not a day goes by without catching the last bus back to Nanping Town.

However, Chen Bo is busier than me and always comes back after I fall asleep and leaves before I wake up. It's not too much to describe our relationship with strange strange bedfellows.

After a long time, we both felt very tired every day and unanimously decided to return the house in Nanping town. Chen Bo rented a house in Yubei. In order to save money and time, I moved to the company.

I saved the time wasted on my way home. It seems that we are all busier. It seems that I can never put down my mobile phone, computer or work, and my mind is full of thinking about how to do a good job in the official WeChat account.

Even if Chen Bo comes over this weekend, he should feel that he has been separated from Sanqiu for three days. He had a lot to say to each other, but I ignored him because he wrote a manuscript.

In a fit of pique, Chen Bo returned to Yubei, busy thinking about making a phone call to apologize, and hung up at the moment of dialing the phone. I really don't know how to speak after I get through the phone.

Maybe we have really changed, Chen Bo has become impatient, and I have become addicted to money, poverty, lack of food, and the days when my home is surrounded by walls are really a torment. I must ride the wind, love can wait, but if I don't work hard, I will have to live an embarrassing life with my tail between my legs.

20 15, Chen Bo and I lost our passion. We meet once every two weeks when we are not busy, and once every month or even two when we are busy, but I have never called Chen Bo on my own initiative. He was silent for a few words when he called. In fact, we are all waiting for someone to say good night first. After hanging up the phone, I chatted with my best friend again. We may really become the most familiar strangers to each other.

In July, I applied for a low-rent room with a single room, and my life has been greatly improved through continuous efforts. When you see something you like, you won't be scared by the price. As long as it is practical, I will buy it back without thinking. A long-awaited feast can also please colleagues to eat with peace of mind; I usually take a taxi when I go out to work. It's not that I learn to enjoy it with a little money, but that I know which is more important, time or money.

In a blink of an eye, we have been in love for more than four years, and we still can't see the future we want. I can't remember the last time I saw Chen Bo. I only remember that we had an unprecedented fight because we had no money to talk about marriage and buying a house. When I cried the most, he left.

20 16 in may, all my expectations for the future collapsed after receiving a phone call from my sister. My unsmiling father made an exception this morning and called happily to say that he didn't like me. There was a car accident in the afternoon. He really abandoned our mother and left. I haven't come to repay his kindness, have a heart-to-heart talk with him, or take my boyfriend to see him. How can I leave?

Chen Bo deposited tens of thousands of dollars in my card, but the money was useless. I became a child without a father, but I followed my parents' wishes and stayed in the Loess Plateau in the north.

My mother still transforms the earth with her back to the loess every day, and I found a temporary job in the town. The low ticket window of the railway station has become very large and modern, and the ruthless conductor inside has become my colleague. When I met the same problem, I took the same measures.

It's just that the silly sweet boy who ran to the ticket window to find his luggage looks familiar.

In the summer of 20 10, we seem to have met at this station.
