Chapter 2

After returning to school, I never contacted my mother again. Although I felt like a cat was caught in it and felt so uncomfortable, I knew that I would never contact my mother actively now.

Faced with this anxiety, I devoted all my spare time to making money, hoping to divert my attention.

The plan to make money by games has been thinking about it for a long time

But I don't have much interest in online games and I don't know much about the situation in the industry.

During this period, my roommate took me to his hometown to visit a large game studio, which gave me some understanding of this gray industry.

One is that you don’t have to pay taxes, the other is that you have relatively little investment and no technical content

After thinking about it again and again, just do it

First, I went to the trading market and sold the stamps in my hand and collected all the funds

I originally planned to rent an empty house, but the housing prices in the city are too high

Anyway, I have no interest in learning, so I simply went to the suburbs to find a house. I didn't have much trouble, so I didn't go back.

For other money, I pulled out a few network cables, bought a few computers, and bought some old mobile phones on Xianyu.

Because I plan to use auxiliary plug-ins, I don't hire manual labor like other studios, but each machine needs to be equipped with a plug-in, which is a lot of money in a month.

Since I first entered this industry, I don’t know much about it, I feel very fresh and I don’t know what profession is efficient, so I have a variety of things.

In addition, it is very convenient to hang it, and it feels quite simple. It started serving in less than half a month.

Although the efficiency is not very high, it is a good start and I am quite proud of myself.

Usually, I had nothing to do, so I started to think about stamps again. Whenever I had time, I ran to the stamp trading market. During this period, I also missed it a few times and made a small amount of money.

After a long time, I became lazy and left the game behind

As the saying goes, not long after the joyful days, the game company gave me a blow and cracked down on all outdoor game accounts in the studio.

Although I recovered some of the costs, it was far less than the expenses. With such a bleak ending, I felt an inexplicable sense of frustration in my heart.

After a period of depression, I learned from my pain, summarized my experience, and planned to start over

After the lesson I learned last time, I decided to make a correct attitude and formulated a strict planning process.

First of all, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the game, and level up manually, and master the money-making skills

Then choose to use plug-ins for purpose to reduce costs as much as possible and avoid blocking accounts

Since then, I basically stopped going to school, stayed in the house, staring at the game day and night

God pays off on his heart, and in the following month, he earned more than 8,000 yuan.

This money is nothing in Beijing, but it is a considerable income for a college student who is still studying.

But I'm not satisfied with this

After appearing in the victorious fruit, prepare to expand the fruit

But what happened next still found that I was thinking too well. The game company started banning accounts again, and it was endless banning accounts.

A batch of numbers was set up, and it was sealed before it was formed

Up again, seal again

A lot of investments are made, no output, and the returns are almost negative

It just so happened that the year is over again, and because I am not thinking about studying, the final exam is a mess

I haven't been home during this period, nor have I contacted my mother

However, Beibei called several times and wondered why my mother suddenly stopped getting married again

Winter vacation is coming

The Chinese New Year is coming, and I have no plans to go home. Although my longing for my mother is increasing day by day, I am fortunately not receiving any news that my mother is going to go on a blind date again, which has given me some psychological comfort.

That morning, I was debugging my account, and the ringtone of my cell phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that it was my mother calling me, and my heart was beating faster and my body was trembling with excitement.

I took a deep breath, calmed down, pressed the answer button, and then calmly said 'Hey'

Xiao... Cough cough! I don’t know if it’s because of my nervousness, but my mother’s voice was a little hoarse. She cleared her throat and returned to normal: Xiaodong, what are you doing?

I haven't contacted each other for a long time, my mother was deliberately adjusting the atmosphere, and I pretended to be plain and said: It's nothing, I'm reading a book.

How about the final exam?

Not very ideal, I tell the truth, but I dare not tell her the truth

Well...Is there anything else in school?

Mom is testing me

Nothing wrong

Then... have you bought the ticket? It's already the end of the year, and there are many people in the Spring Festival travel rush, so it's hard to buy tickets.

I was about to tell you that I didn't buy a good ticket in advance, well... and there is something else here, I won't go back for the Chinese New Year this year

Isn't come back for the Chinese New Year? Mom was a little surprised

Yes, I won't go back

There was a silence on the other end of the phone

OK, you're there alone... Be careful with safety

Um

After a long period of silence, I couldn't help but shout: Mom?

Um?

Is there anything else?

Ah... It's okay, nothing is wrong

That's nothing, I'll just hang up first

Oh...then...is dead

After hanging up the phone, I was still excited and couldn't calm down for a long time

From the moment I heard my mother's voice, the longing that had been suppressed for a long time erupted like a dam breaking out.

I really want to fly home and see my mother right now

But I know, I have to endure it

In the following days, I focused all my attention on making money

Although the first two attempts ended in failure, I did not give up.

I added several game plug-in groups, and through group members chatting, analyzing the tricks of small players, and then I realized that everyone had purchased finished products at low prices and was directly posted.

Few people are like me who rely on plug-ins to practice accounts. Before the book is collected, they are blocked.

After chatting with others, I found that the official game has hit plug-ins harder, and most studios are mainly manual. The plug-ins pursue the goal of making a lot of money before the account is banned.

I re-studyed the routine and found a shortcut to manually train numbers, and I could operate several numbers to upgrade at the same time. Before forming, each number could already earn about 1,000 yuan.

Then throw these previous accounts to the plug-in to make money, and even if they are blocked, they won't feel bad.

I am a little tired, but the harvest is still quite considerable. At the end of the month, I had an income of 15,000 yuan. The most important thing is to stabilize this success, which really makes me excited.

Continuous busyness relieves the pain of missing mother

On New Year's Eve, I was busy alone in a rental house in the suburbs. Listening to the crackling sound of firecrackers outside, I felt inexplicably melancholy in my heart

This is the first time I have been spending the New Year alone since I was born

After the Spring Festival Gala started, I fryed two side dishes, bought a bottle of wine, and poured it on my own.

Looking at the cheerful singing and dancing sketches on TV, but the room was cold and silent. A sudden slight fear in my heart. If my relationship with my mother was broken, would I just live alone for the rest of my life.

I couldn't help but pick up my phone and sent a message to my mother: Happy New Year! I also got a good emoticon pack in the world that only my mother is good.

After a while, my mother replied with a happy New Year emoticon package. I wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, I gave up and threw my phone aside.

This is how people are, habits become nature

In the past, I always pestered my mother, and if I don’t contact each other for a day, I’d be like losing my soul.

It's been a long time since I was still a little adaptable to the depression in my heart.

After drinking some wine, my head was a little dizzy. I decided to take a break early in the evening. I set myself off for the annual holiday. When it was almost twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside the house one after another, and the host also started the countdown.

The new year has finally come. I made a silent wish in my heart, hoping that there will be some substantial progress in my relationship with my mother this year.

It gradually became quiet outside the window, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep

I picked up my phone, opened my mother's address book, hesitated for a long time, and sent me a message.

Asked: Have you slept?

After a while, my mother replied: No

Have you watched the Spring Festival Gala? I have nothing to say

After reading it, I immediately said: Nothing interesting

Yes, it's not as good as last year

After waiting for a long time, my mother didn't reply to the message, maybe she didn't know what to say.

After waiting for a long time, I asked again: Are you asleep?

without

Suddenly, for some reason, my mother and I actually felt a little unfamiliar, just like a distant relative who hadn't seen for a long time

I can't even use my usual ability to coax girls with smooth tongues now

This time it's my turn to say

After a while, my mother asked: What did you eat for the New Year’s Eve dinner?

I stewed my own ribs and stir-fried two dishes

one person?

Um

After a while

Have you been busy lately?

Something

Come back after the New Year?

Depend on the situation

Um

Next, neither my mother nor me talked again

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I gave myself a vacation and went shopping in the city alone for a day because most people went home for the New Year. The bustling and crowded neighborhoods in the past became much deserted.

During lunch, I received a call from Beibei

Brother, what are you busy with?

Not busy with anything

So why don’t you come back for the New Year?

I'm quite busy

Are you talking about human words?

Ah…I have something to do

You're not at home, I always feel like something is missing

What's missing?

Well... If you don't have a little less atmosphere, you won't be able to get excited.

What a girl, it's time to be more reserved. What's the fun

Do you think you are all weird?

Hum? You guys?

Well, you and mom are both quite strange

What's wrong with mom?

My mother is also depressed. She seems to have no money to pay it back if she owe her money? If you don’t come back, is it related to our mother?

I have to say that although Beibei looks stupid, sometimes his intuition is quite accurate

It doesn't matter

When will you come back?

What's wrong? Miss me?

It's a bit like you don't come back, no one quarreled with me, it's so boring

You can't argue with me, and you are always willing to argue with me. Aren't you asking for a scolding?

OK, don't come back! After saying that, Beibei hung up his phone angrily

Not long after hanging up, the phone came again. This time it was Annuo.

Hello? Brother... cough cough...

Ah?What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?

A little fever Annuo's voice is soft and breathless

Then you drink more hot water

Drinking cough cough cough

……

I don’t know why, Annuo and I seemed to have nothing to say. I was silent for a long time, and I added: Get more rest

Lying down cough cough... Brother

Um?

Happy New Year, cough cough cough cough cough cough cough…

Happy New Year, stop talking, the more you say, the more you cough, the more you get worse

Then when will you come back?

Not accurate

Cough cough cough... Cough cough...

Have you seen a doctor?

Have seen it

Not a terminal illness, right?

Thank you for your brother's blessing, cough cough... there is no worries about life for the time being

Then have a good rest and wait until I go back and I'll see you

Um

Just as I was about to hang up my phone, I suddenly remembered something and asked subconsciously: Your mother, how are you doing recently?

Yes, it's okay

OK, have a good rest and say hello to my dad for me

Hang off my phone, and I couldn't help but recall every bit of what I've known since Annuo

I can't tell what I feel about her now

If you want to say hate, there is indeed, after all, she is the culprit of the fall apart in our family.

But after calming down, I thought about it carefully and blamed her for all the mistakes, and she was also biased.

My dad and I also have an unshirkable responsibility. In a sense, she is like a victim.

I can feel that her feelings for me are real, but this feeling is somewhat distorted.

As my brother, I really hope that her future life can get on track, just like my mother’s expectations of me

Just as I was thinking about it, the ringtone of my phone rang again. This time it was Lu Yiyi called it. It was a coincidence.

I pressed the answer button and said: Hello?

There was no movement on the other side for a long time, and I said again: Why don’t you talk?

Dead? Lu Yiyi's voice was cold and she was a little unhappy when she heard it

I have no luck in your heart

Are you having a new love and planning to break up with me?

How do you say this?

You haven't contacted me for so long

I laughed jokingly: You didn't take the initiative to contact me, Ah

Are you a man?

Aren't you going to keep your low and equal positions in love?

I...what do I mean?

OK OK OK OK I'm wrong I'm wrong I'm really busy lately

Still busy playing games?

I only revealed this matter to Lu Yiyi, because only she will support me unconditionally and will not object to anything I do, no matter what I do.

After all, I have been playing together since I was a child. She knows too much about my temper and knows that it is useless to persuade me. If you want me to turn back, you can only wait for me to hit the wall by myself.

Um

Have you made money?

The situation is very good

So what should you do with your studies? You really don’t plan to go to school anymore?

I am really not very interested in studying and going to school. Being able to persist in getting into college is already my limit. If I have to hold it in the classroom for a few years, I guess I will be crazy

What if your mother knows?

I think my mother will understand me

Hum the wave! I see you really don’t cry when you see the coffin. When your mother’s knife is chopped down, don’t regret it.

You said my mother like a perverted murderer, what happened to you when you call?

If you have nothing to do, you can't call you? Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, are you so busy? Are you US President Ah?

OK OK! When did you become so sharp-tongued?

Lu Yiyi smiled proudly and said: Let me tell you, the sisters in my dormitory can speak very well. You may not have been arguing with me now.

Well, you are considered a black man in the ink

I called you, is Beijing fun?

What about fun Ah? Do you want to come and find me Ah?

Well...I have this plan

Then come here and I will reimburse you for travel expenses

real?

I can still pay this little money

Then I will bring one more person, is it OK?

Who Ah?

My mother

No, come here, come here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, we are intimate and intimate. If you bring your mother here in a world of two people, what's the matter?

Hi Wave! You don’t know, my mother has kissed her several times and she has blew up. She is in a bad mood. I plan to take her out to relax.

Your mom is so anxious to marry herself?

Lu Yiyi sighed lightly and said bitterly: I am afraid that I will be old and no one wants it. I will die alone.

If your mother has good conditions and looks over 80, she is just too bad in character, just like a tigress.

You are not allowed to say that to my mother, that is your future mother-in-law

Yes, yes, we are good people, and we will definitely find a suitable old man in the future to spend our old age.

Don't let my mother hear you. You must be slaughtered.

Okay! Your mother is still a tiger

OK, don't be verbally talking, will you be hospitalized or not?

Oh, Wave! You said that is my future mother-in-law, I really can't let her play Ah

OK, I agreed to Ah? We'll go in a few days

OK, hang up

Is this going to hang up?

Then why don’t you hang up?

Don't you realize there is something missing?

What less?

Happy New Year Ah! You pig's head!

After saying that, Lu Yiyi hung up the phone angrily, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Everyone during the New Year was full of energy.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, I was busy working and couldn't stay here, so after arriving at the time, I booked a hotel for them in advance.

On the eighth day of the lunar month, I arrived at the airport early and the plane landed. Passengers came out one after another. I looked around with the flow of people, looking for the figures of Lu Yiyi and Aunt Rong.

Just as I stretched my neck and watched, I suddenly heard a crisp and familiar voice shouting: Brother!

Looking in the sound, I saw Beibei wearing a white down jacket and braided pigtails, running towards me happily to me. I couldn't help but be stunned and wondered: Why are you here?

Ah? Can't I come?

No, you and Lu Yiyi and the others came?

It's Ah Not only did I come, but my mom is here too

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked behind her, and saw three women dragging their suitcases and walking towards this side.

The leader is Lu Yiyi, followed by Aunt Rong, and behind her is the beauty I have longed for, my mother

Mom is wearing a long black cashmere coat, dark blue suede high heels, a dark blue lady hat, black toad glasses on her nose, and Prada's bag

Although the dressing is more suitable for the season, the places where you should be fat, the places where you should be thin, the long neck is as tender as jade, and it is still so charming and charming

Mom, why are you here? This is indeed something I didn't expect. I was so excited that I didn't know what to say

Mom helped her sunglasses and asked coldly: Why? Can't I come? I haven't seen you for a few months, and you are still so arrogant.

Look at what you said, I'm not too happy if you can condescend.

Before my mother could speak, Aunt Rong couldn't help but laugh: I said Ling Xiaodong, I've just been here for a few months, and you're talking more and more like Baier Jinger.

I smiled and said: Beijingers don’t say that, they say that they are like a light bulb in their mouths

Aunt Rong glared at me, and Lu Yiyi was afraid that her mother would be angry, so she quickly scolded me: Ling Xiaodong, why did you talk to my mother? No big or small

I quickly went downstairs and nodded and bowed: I wasn't hello to Aunt Rong, thank you for your hard work

After that, I'll pick up the suitcase in her hand

Aunt Rong was generous and gave it to me directly

What about mine? Lu Yiyi asked dissatisfiedly

Give it to me. I stretched out my other empty hand and took Lu Yiyi's luggage.

You can be a human being. Lu Yiyi clapped her hands, then took her mother's arm, and walked out of the terminal with one touch and one jump

I suddenly remembered my mother and turned my head to look at her

Although I haven't seen each other for a few months, I feel like it's been a long time

I wanted to take the luggage from my mother's hand, but my hands were taken, so I could only look at my mother with helplessness and apologies

My mother saw my dilemma and said to me: OK, I'll do it myself. As she said that, she walked out with clean and neat steps.

The familiar sound of the high heels hitting the floor was still so crisp and so pleasant
