Lin Anshu is an ordinary, lowly office worker. The competition in the company is intense, and the boss loves to fine employees and make empty promises. After working diligently for a whole year, sh...
When Lin Anyu was about to go back after buying a bunch of things, his phone rang. It was his former high school roommate, Xiao Pang.
He told his three roommates to go back first, and he would finish the phone call downstairs before going upstairs.
His three roommates were very kind and helped him bring the bunch of things he bought back to the dorm. Then they closed the door and started gossiping about it.
"Boss, I think Xiao Si is a good person and studies well. He almost got full marks in the science section of the college entrance exam. It's just that his family's financial situation isn't very good."
“Look at his clothes and shoes, not a single one is a designer brand.”
"Moreover, he himself said that his family is from the countryside, and his parents and sister both farm at home."
"My God, what era is this? There are still families where older sisters sacrifice their education and stay home to farm, just to support the male members of the family to go to school?"
"That's right! Just now during dinner, Xiao Si told us about how he lost fruit on the train."
"For ordinary people, it's just a bag of fruit. If it gets lost, it's no big deal."
"But it's precisely because Xiao Si's family is poor that he values these things so much."
"It is very likely that the money he used to go to university was saved up by his family from selling fruit, penny by penny."
"Otherwise, it's just a bag of fruit, you should have called the police no matter what."
"Yeah, if you weren't poor, why wouldn't you fly? These days, discounted plane tickets aren't expensive."
"Well, let's not talk about this anymore. As long as Xiao Si is a good person, we'll help him out in the future if we can."
"He's had a tough time."
The same image appeared in the minds of all three:
In a poor and backward mountain village, Mr. and Mrs. Lin, with wrinkled faces and towels wrapped around their heads, were working in the fields with hoes on their backs.
When I get hungry, I take a steamed bun out of my pocket and take a couple of bites.
If you're thirsty, just drink a couple of sips of hot water.
There's also Lin Anyu's second sister, that young woman who never went to school and stayed at home farming.
Despite being very young, she had become dark and sallow-looking due to the hardships of life, with fine lines and cracks on her hands. She wore the style of a thick cotton-padded coat typical of Northeast China, and had two braids. She would grin at people, revealing a mouthful of big teeth.
As Lin Anyu was leaving, the group looked at him with reluctance, their eyes filled with tears as they bid him farewell.
"My son (brother), when you go to Beijing, you must study hard. You are the hope of our family!"
“Son, take this money and spend it. If it’s not enough, just tell us and we’ll send you more.”
"Son, strive to be successful as soon as possible. Our family is counting on you."
"..."
After shaking their heads vigorously to clear away these strange images, the three of them spoke solemnly.
"Don't worry, he's our little brother in the dorm, we have to take care of him."
"Also, everyone should try to be more careful with what they say in the future. Don't deliberately flaunt your wealth or anything like that. I'm afraid Xiao Si will feel inferior."
"Let me know."
"..."
Lin Anyu found it very strange.
He had only made a phone call downstairs, and because the call lasted a little too long, a sudden gust of wind blew sand into his eyes. After rubbing his eyes, they became a little red.
Why are his roommates looking at him so strangely?
That's fine.
In the days that followed, Lin Anyu discovered that his roommates were really taking good care of him, their little brother.
When people come across something delicious, they always invite him to try it.
If I buy clothes or pants that come with a buy-one-get-one-free offer, I'll just toss one to him.
Moreover, with the end of his Mercury retrograde, he found that his bad luck had turned into good luck.
In this era where everyone uses Alipay and WeChat, how could he still find money when he goes out?
Although it wasn't much, only fifty or a hundred.
But the more times I found money, the more trouble I got.
Moreover, the supermarket he frequents often has promotions.
He wins the prize three out of five times he participates.
When he goes shopping for clothes with his roommates, he can always find nice items that are also on sale.
Even a casual part-time job can easily lead to a physics lecturer position that includes meals, high pay, and end-of-month benefits.
Hey, I have to say, college life is really colorful and incredibly interesting.
When he has free time, he also watches his second sister's live streams, his eldest sister's kindergarten's official WeChat account, and his second sister's friend's wife's variety shows or music videos.
Towards the end of their first year of university, Lin Anyu's roommate Liu Kai discovered that Xiao Si in their dorm was also a fan of celebrities.
The singer he was pursuing was Zhao Qingli, whom he also particularly admired.
So, without making a sound, he called home and asked his family for four tickets to Zhao Qingli's concert.
I'm waiting for the holiday to start so I can invite my roommates to go to the concert together.
Zhao Qingli is now considered a national goddess.
Her voice and her songs are both outstanding.
In the music industry, she is a rising star.
This resulted in her concerts being sold out every time.
The concert tickets sold out instantly as soon as they went online.
It is said that even the most ordinary 680 yuan tickets have been scalped for 8,000 yuan.
As for the best seats, some people have offered as much as 480,000 yuan.
Keep in mind that this price could cover a down payment on a house in many places.
Under these circumstances, Lin Anyu was holding four concert tickets with the best seats.
