In the slums of Kaiyuan District, Wu Tianyin rode a tricycle to the door of his stepfather's house, bowed his head and made a call to his phone.

The phone was connected twice, and Wu Tianyin hung up the phone, stood in the snow and waited.

After about five minutes, the iron door slowly opened, and the mother stood in the courtyard wearing a big cotton jacket and shouted: "Xiao Yin! ”

"Hey, Mom!" Wu Tianyin immediately greeted him: "Here." ”

"It's cold outside, come in." The mother waved her hand and shouted, "Fill it in the house." ”

"Hmm." Wu Tianyin nodded and followed his mother into the compound.

The two tiptoed back to the main room, and the mother lit a candle in the living room of the main room, took out the information prepared by the stepfather and said, "You can fill it out quickly." ”

"Okay." Wu Tianyin sat on the chair, took the information and looked at it: "You...... Have you been feeling better lately? ”

"Old, a little cough." Mother poured Wu Tianyin a glass of water and made a silent gesture: "Let's be quiet, your father drank a lot of wine at night before falling asleep, don't wake him up." ”

Wu Tianyin glanced at his mother and was not speaking, lowered his head and picked up the pen, and filled in the information with neat movements.

The mother put on her clothes and waited for a while before she asked softly, "What have you been doing lately?" ”

"Set up a stall and sell some snacks."

"Are you tired?" Mother asked.

"Eat, there's nothing to be tired of." Wu Tianyin filled in the information, pressed the handprint, stood up and handed it to his mother and said, "It's over." ”

The mother took it and took a look, put the information in the cabinet and said, "Your clothes are too thin, it's cold standing outside, and your brother will make new clothes in two days, I'll get you some cotton, and sew one too." ”

Wu Tianyin was stunned for a long time, and replied in a low voice: "No need, I'll earn some money to buy one myself." ”

Mother heard Wu Tianyin's words a little cold and uncomfortable at this moment, but she couldn't change anything, so she could only divert the topic and said: "You stay at home at night, and you will leave tomorrow morning, so you don't have to toss." ”

Wu Tianyin didn't want to face his stepfather who would get up tomorrow morning at all, so he replied without hesitation: "No, I still have something to do tomorrow morning, so I'll go back first." ”

"Let's stay overnight."

"Hehe, what's the use of staying overnight." Wu Tianyin smiled: "You rest early, I'll go." ”

“…… Then I'll send you. Mother picked up the padded jacket again.

Wu Tianyin didn't say anything more, just walked straight out of the house.

The two of them walked silently through the courtyard of their homes and came to the door again.

"Alright, Mom. You go back, I'm gone. Wu Tianyin got on a tricycle.

"Ride slowly, the road is slippery."

"It's fine." Wu Tianyin waved his hand: "You go back quickly." ”

Mother stood on the steps and hesitated for a long time before persuading: "Your father has a heavy burden and has to support our family, sometimes his temper is a little rushed, but we have to understand him." If you have time, come back and apologize to him, if not, stay at home, so that I can take care of you. ”

Wu Tianyin rode on the tricycle and grinned: "Mom, if I don't have it here, you can be more relaxed." I have hands and feet, and I can take care of myself. ”

The mother was stunned.

"I'm leaving." Wu Tianyin said hello to his mother and left decisively on an electric car.

At the doorway, the mother stood on the steps, sighed, and slowly pushed the iron door shut.

……

Wu Tianyin recently didn't go to bed until three or four o'clock in the morning every night, and the next morning he came together, basically in the afternoon, and at that time he had to buy goods, prepare materials, and just eat something at night, and then he would go out of the stall again. So in his current state, he has no time to feel the warmth and coldness of human feelings, so he can only save his energy to run for his livelihood.

Therefore, Wu Tianyin did not have any negative emotions because of his mother's attitude towards him this time, he only rode an electric car with his head bored and wanted to go back to his residence to rest as soon as possible.

Tossing back and forth, it was nearly twelve o'clock in the evening.

After Wu Tianyin arrived downstairs in the bed's bedroom, he didn't go up immediately, because the bedroom space was too small, he was afraid that he would make a noise when he entered the house, disturb his roommates who had already slept, and make the family feel unhappy, so he only took out the dinner prepared in advance in the car and ate alone.

"Di Lingling!"

Suddenly, the phone rang.

Wu Tianyin paused for a moment, immediately connected the mobile phone and said, "Hey, hello! ”

"Hello? I'm Xu Wei! ”

"Oh, Miss Xu." Wu Tianyin glanced at the phone screen again, and asked with some curiosity: "Why did you use this phone to call me?" ”

"This is my other number." Xu Wei responded softly, "Do you have time now?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Come to my house to pick me up, I'm going out to do something."

"Okay!" Wu Tianyin swallowed a lot of cold grains, and immediately responded positively: "Will I go now?" ”

"Well, you can come now, send me to Jiangnan, and I'll give you fifty yuan." Xu Wei said softly: "After you arrive, go upstairs directly, my house is in 709!" ”

"Can I go in?"

"Yes, there's no one watching downstairs at this point, just come in."

"Okay." Wu Tianyin immediately nodded: "I'm here, if I can't find it, I'll call you." ”

"You don't have to call, just come up and help me carry something."

"Okay, I'll see you later."

"Well, I'll see you later."

After the two finished communicating, Wu Tianyin immediately rubbed his palms, lowered his head and put on a wind-resistant velvet hat, and got out of the shed behind the tricycle again.

Tonight, Wu Tianyin closed the stall in advance and made less money, so he was happy to take Xu Wei's work, and the whole person was excited to ride the tricycle and rush to Xu Wei's house.

……

In the early morning, at around 12:40, Wu Tianyin rode to the downstairs of Xu Wei's residence, and then after he parked the car, he briefly recalled the building where Xu Wei went home every day, and walked in quickly.

A few minutes later, Wu Tianyin climbed the stairs to 709 and reached out and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock!"

A dull sound echoed through the dimly lit hallway.

After a while, no one in the room answered, Wu Tianyin raised his arm again and knocked on the other party's door.

After a few seconds, there was still no sound in the room, Wu Tianyin felt a little strange, opened his mouth and shouted tentatively: "Miss Xu, are you there?" ”

……

Little Tiger's house.

The mother walked to the study in her pajamas, frowned and said, "I'll just say that if you arrange Yamamoto's son's company, he will definitely not be satisfied." ”

"You can't satisfy him with everything." The father replied without raising his head.

The mother was speechless.

"What's wrong with him? Quarreled with you? Father asked.

"No, no one can be found, no phone calls are answered, and no home is returned." The mother said a little tiredly, "Can't you have a good talk with him?" ”

"Play missing, then let him play." The father hated the iron and scolded: "I tell you, don't take the initiative to call him, I'll see how long he can survive." ”

……

Inside the stairway.

Wu Tianyin knocked on the door again for two or three minutes, and there was no movement in the room, and then he frowned and dialed Xu Wei's phone.
