The evening sky was a bit gloomy.

Layers of dark clouds were pressed down, like a big black pot lid turned upside down, which made people feel oppressed.

Ji Sheng was standing by the earthen stove of his hometown kitchen.

Father broke off the dried rapeseed stalks and stuffed them into the stove, and picked them up with a fire iron, talking about trivial things that happened in the factory.

My mother sat at the door peeling potatoes, and there was no response.

Ji Sheng was very anxious, and wanted to open his mouth to say something several times, but he still couldn't get it out.

He didn't know how to tell his parents about it.

In other words, I am even more afraid that my parents will be angry when they hear it.

But it’s okay not to talk about it.

Ji Sheng hesitated, but spoke cautiously, "Dad, Mom, I... I'm telling you something, don't get angry after listening."

The father didn't care, and said casually, "What's the matter?"

Mother didn't take it seriously, and still peeled the potatoes with a peeler.

Ji Sheng took a deep breath, and said in a trembling tone, "I...I owe more than 30 outside."

bang.

The peeler in my mother's hand fell to the concrete floor with a crisp sound.

From the corner of Ji Sheng's eyes, he saw his father's movement of stuffing firewood behind the clay stove, and he also froze.

Ugh.

It is estimated that parents will be angry.

Ji Sheng's whole heart was like fifteen buckets pumping water up and down, and he was ready to face his parents' scolding.

But what surprised him was that his father immediately stuffed the firewood into the stove again, and just asked, "Why do you owe so much?"

Ji Sheng glanced at his mother secretly, and found that he pretended to be nonchalant and picked up the peeler, and continued to peel the potatoes.

It's just that Ji Sheng could clearly see his mother's hands trembling slightly, and he felt very uncomfortable, but the loan repayment was imminent, so he still said truthfully: "Didn't I tell you a few months ago that I opened an online store specializing in Is it a business of selling old things?"

"Yeah." The father responded lightly.

Ji Sheng continued, "When I first met Boss Hao, he said that he could make a lot of money by selling second-hand goods. I didn't believe it at first, but he was willing to give me 1000 yuan on credit to let me try it first, and he also helped me with the tinkering. Online shop, when I thought about buying and selling without money, I tried it first..."

He told the general situation again.

It was nothing more than the fact that the 1000 yuan goods that were bought and sold without capital at the beginning were sold out in a day or two, and then he took thousands of goods out of his own pocket.

As Boss Hao said, the second-hand goods business is really good.

In just two or three months, Ji Sheng earned 3 to [-] yuan, which is much better than his bitter work at the unit.

One day, Boss Hao approached Ji Sheng and said that many small and medium-sized enterprises would be closed due to national policies, and Boss Hao’s second-hand goods production factory was one of them.

Ji Sheng finally found a way to make a fortune, but if he was willing to lose it, he begged Boss Hao for help.

Boss Hao was also very interesting, and helped him introduce a sales manager of a large manufacturer, but the family has a big business, and orders less than 50 yuan will not be accepted.

Ji Sheng invited dinner and gave gifts at the same time, so the manager of the sales department let it go, but the order amount should not be less than 35.

35 orders.

According to the sales situation of Ji Sheng's previous online store, it can be sold out in half a year at most, and he can earn tens of thousands more by then. He gritted his teeth and borrowed a hundred thousand from a friend, and another 20 from an online loan, including his own card. It was tens of thousands, and finally got together 35.

Of course, Ji Sheng was not that stupid, he didn't give the other party a penny until he received the goods.

The other party was quite trustworthy, and sent someone to deliver the goods worth 35 the next day after Ji Sheng signed the contract.

For this reason, Ji Sheng also rented a small warehouse to store the goods.

"Then..." At this point, Ji Sheng's heart felt like a knife was twisting, "My online store immediately lost business."

There was another sentence he didn’t say, and later the police came to him and told him that Boss Hao and the sales manager were scammers who used similar methods to defraud many young people who dreamed of getting rich. The total amount of fraud exceeded 5000. Ten thousand, and the money has been squandered long ago, and it is impossible to get it back in all likelihood.

The money cannot be recovered.

Friends with hundreds of thousands are not in a hurry.

But those online loans are like a reminder, especially a few formal borrowing channels, like a knife hanging above his head, as long as the money is not paid, he will become a dishonest person waiting for him.

Once he becomes a "Lao Lai" and is blacklisted, even planes, high-speed trains, and going out for accommodation will become problems. Moreover, if the situation is serious, after he gets married and has children, his children will not be able to attend key schools.

Life will be difficult.

These are not the main ones.

The most important thing is that those online loans will definitely blow up his address book.

At that time, everyone will know that Ji Sheng owed a lot of debts outside.

People need face, trees need bark.

If it really becomes like that.

Ji Sheng was really ashamed to live on, "It's probably like this."

Father's tone was still calm, but Ji Sheng could hear the slight trill in his words, "More than 30 yuan? How can the family get so much money at once?"

Ji Sheng hurriedly said: "It's not more than 30 yuan at one time, but about 2 yuan a month."

"Oh, you go and tidy up the hut, I'll discuss it with your mother." The father seemed to want to dismiss him.

Ji Sheng didn't know if his parents would help him through this difficult time, but he still stood up, "I'll clean it up now."

Mother bowed her head and said nothing.

Ji Sheng felt very uncomfortable, he had an urge to cry.

……

Walked several tens of meters to the west.

A dilapidated two-room tile-roofed house appeared in front of my eyes.

This is Ji Sheng's old house.

It is full of his grandfather's relics and things from his childhood, such as books and toys.

Ji Sheng took out the key and opened the door to enter.

A stale smell hits the face, with a hint of stink.

"It is estimated that another mouse died inside."

Ji Sheng muttered, looking at the miscellaneous boxes piled up here and there, he didn't know what to do for a while. These old things have been piled up for several years, and his parents are busy with work and fields on weekdays, so they don't have time to tidy them up.

A few years ago when Ji Sheng was still in school, his parents always asked him to tidy up during the holidays, and he would verbally agree every time, but he forgot about it afterwards.

"Repay my verbal debt from the previous few years."

Ji Sheng didn't expect that this job would still fall on his own head.

He decided to start with the boxes at the door.

The first thing that catches the eye is a basket, the kind of strap-woven basket that used to hang on the back of the bike.

"This cart basket is older than me. It is said to have a history of more than 30 years. My dad used it to pack cigarettes and sell it."

Seeing this basket, Ji Sheng was quite moved, and he could recall how hard his father kept telling him about the past.

Take this cart basket as an example, it has witnessed the life and death of his father.

Ji Sheng remembered what his father said, it must have been in [-], before his father met and married his mother, because carpenter work was sometimes absent, and his father started a small business, such as selling cigarettes, in order to subsidize the family.

In the [-]s, there was no such thing as a tobacco monopoly, and this monopoly law was passed in [-].

Ji Sheng's father made a small profit by selling second-hand smoke.

But in the end, a good pack of cigarettes was robbed by a few hooligans, and it would be fatal. A pack of cigarettes cost tens of dollars, which was a huge sum of money in that era.

You must know that the average annual income of farmers at that time was only more than 500 yuan. How could Ji Sheng's father have so much money to compensate others?

The father, who couldn't think about it for a while, actually threw himself into the river on the day of the winter solstice.

This is the coldest period of time, jumping into the icy river.

Thinking of this, Ji Sheng couldn't help but feel sad for his father, he suffered so much when he was young, and now he is over 50 years old, and he still has to be gnawed at by him.

"I'm so useless. Not only did I fail to make more money for my parents to live a good life, but I also made them help me pay off my debts."

Ji Sheng couldn't help blaming himself again, his eyes turned red.

It's just that who would have thought that the two scammers actually spent several months on the plan without saying anything, and deliberately let him "earn" tens of thousands of dollars first.

The baskets were quickly tidied up.

Next to it is a small wooden box.

When Ji Sheng saw this small wooden box, he, who was still feeling sad, wronged and blamed himself, couldn't help smiling, because this small wooden box once brought "sweetness" to his childhood.

His family was very poor when he was a child.

Since the sale of illegal cigarettes was not allowed in [-], when Ji Sheng's father was not working at the construction site, in order to subsidize the family, he would ride a bicycle to sell popsicles in the summer, and this wooden box was used by his father to hold the popsicles.

Although his father sold popsicles, Ji Cheng basically couldn't eat them when he was a child, because his family was too poor and sometimes he couldn't afford to eat, so how could he give him popsicles?

The first time Ji Sheng ate popsicles, he remembered it was a thunderstorm day.

That day, my father was driven back by the heavy rain before the popsicles were sold out. Seeing that the popsicles were about to melt if they couldn't be sold, he gave them to Ji Sheng and his cousin.

This is Ji Sheng's first time eating popsicles.

Even after twenty years have passed, he still remembers it very sweetly, that popsicle filled his childhood with sweetness.

It's just that when Ji Sheng thinks back now, he feels that the sweetness of his childhood is based on the bitterness of his parents.

"Oh, I really don't know how my parents survived that era, I really want to go and see."

Ji Sheng was talking to himself.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the phone beep.

Ji Sheng was busy tidying up, and didn't pay too much attention to the phone.

Textbook for first grade.

The yo-yo I used to play with.

There are also mp3 and Walkman in high school.

All are the beauty of youth in memory.

Ji Sheng sorted out these things with nostalgia, and before he knew it, everything in the room was almost sorted out.

The phone jingled.

Ji Sheng saw that it was a WeChat voice, and connected it casually, "Hello, Mom, what's the matter?"

"Have a meal."

"Okay, here we come."

After hanging up the voice, he was about to put the phone away.

Suddenly, Ji Sheng saw a small golden door symbol appear on the phone screen.

He was taken aback, he didn't remember that he had downloaded this software, could it be some kind of junk software that downloaded it automatically?

delete it.

Ji Sheng didn't think much, reached out and long pressed to delete.

But a strange thing happened, there is no way to delete it from the desktop.

Ji Sheng felt a little surprised, and thought that this junk software should be as rogue as a certain [-], right?He directly clicked on the phone settings, trying to find the software to delete.

But still not!

Ok?

What happened?

Ji Sheng is a little upset, the current junk software is too inappropriate, it's hidden so deep that he can't find it?

He didn't believe in evil anymore, so he clicked on it directly to see what it was.

Press.

In an instant, a golden picture jumped out on the screen, and then there was something like an energy tank buffering in the middle.

It read: Energy harvested.

Energy progress (100/100).

There are two words "open" below.

energy?

what energy?

Ji Sheng felt a little baffled, but out of curiosity, he tried to click "Open".

A strange scene is born!

A soft light enveloped him.

Afterwards, Ji Cheng only felt his body lighten up, and his eyes flickered for no reason.

When he regained his vision, he found himself standing on a huge "electronic scale", on which the words "0kg" were clearly written in white.

0kg?

What does this mean?

Ji Sheng felt baffled, but he was suddenly teleported to this strange space, he felt a little panicked, he didn't care about researching anything, and hurriedly wanted to find a way out.

There is a door just ahead.

He couldn't help reaching out and pushing.
