Chapter 425: Life in Illusion 2
The next day, Lu Zhuang came to work in the supermarket and found that the girl was gone.
He was told by colleagues that the girl took advantage of the cashier's convenience and stole the money and had been fired.
Hearing this news, Lu Zhuang was very disappointed.
Vaguely, he seemed to see a bright smiling face suddenly shattered.
Not long after, Lu Zhuang resigned.
In this place, he always felt uncomfortable.
He wants a change of environment.
He went to another city and worked in a milk tea shop.
In this milk tea shop, Lu Zhuang met a girl who came to work as a summer job.
After getting along day and night, Lu Zhuang and the girl had a good feeling for each other.
This girl is three years older than Lu Zhuang. She has a very gentle personality and takes good care of Lu Zhuang.
The days with this girl were very pleasant. The two went to get off work together, went shopping together, and laughed together.
The days go by fast.
Soon, the girl's school day came, and she was going to study in another city, which was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Although Lu Zhuang was reluctant, there was nothing he could do.
The girl finally boarded the distant train, and Lu Zhuang was left alone at the station for a long time.
He secretly made up his mind, and when he turned around, he quit his job here and went to her city.
The girl went to a distant city, but she still often contacted Lu Zhuang on social software to tell him about the school.
Share her daily life, happiness, worry, anger.
Whenever this time, Lu Zhuang feels extremely satisfied.
However, gradually.
Girls are less connected.
Until one day, Lu Zhuang suddenly found that he could not contact the other party.
"Sorry, you are not the friend of the other party, so you cannot send messages to the other party."
Lu Zhuang was fooled, and he was deleted by the other party.
He froze for a long time, not knowing why this happened.
Could it be that I did something wrong?
He didn't know that people's hearts would change.
After a while, Lu Zhuang still thought about that girl in his heart.
Not reconciled, he re-applied for an account and entered the girl's space.
In the other party's space, he saw a photo of the girl with another man.
She looks so happy in the photo.
Lu Zhuang was silent.
At this moment, he seemed to hear the sound of heartbreak.
Time is passing quietly.
Soon after, Lu Zhuang resigned from the milk tea shop.
The place made him feel so uncomfortable that he decided to change his surroundings.
Just at this time, one of his relatives contacted him and asked him to help in the other party's store.
After Lu Zhuang hesitated for a while, he agreed.
It's quite easy to help out in a relative's shop, but what makes Lu Zhuang a little depressed is that the salary promised by the other party has not been paid to him for a long time.
According to the other party's words, it is to save it for him first, and then give it to him when he marries a wife in the future.
In this way, Lu Zhuang worked in a relative's shop for a while.
On this day, a classmate in junior high school contacted him.
"Lu Zhuang, I have something urgent, can you lend me some money?" The classmate asked him to borrow money.
This classmate is a good brother of Lu Zhuang when he was in junior high school, and he also helped Lu Zhuang when he was in trouble.
With this feeling in mind, Lu Zhuang paid 2000 yuan from his relatives and called the classmate.
The classmate took the money and thanked him a thousand times.
Lu Zhuang thought it was just this time, but he didn't expect that classmate came to borrow money from him again soon after.
Lu Zhuang was a little embarrassed. Although he had been working all these years, he was paid a very meager salary.
Moreover, he is helping out at a relative's store, but the relative has not paid him a salary. Last time he had already paid an advance payment to the relative for the other party. With the relative's stingy temperament, it would be difficult to borrow money from him. .
Lu Zhuang expressed his embarrassment to that classmate.
The classmate begged, "I beg you, Lu Zhuang, please help me find a way. I'm at a loss. My father has cancer, and his family has been wiped out. I really have no choice but to come to you."
Hearing what the other party said, Lu Zhuang's heart softened.
In the end, he borrowed another 3000 yuan from the loan platform and gave it to the classmate.
Lu Zhuangyuan thought that if he treated people with sincerity, others would also treat him with kindness.
But soon he was disappointed.
After the classmate borrowed his money, he played and disappeared. He couldn't be contacted by phone or social software, as if he had evaporated from the world.
Lu Zhuang was disappointed.
He thought he was treating people with sincerity, but what he received was deception and deep malice.
He didn't feel sorry for losing the 5000 yuan.
But he felt sad for himself.
Because he knew that from now on, that innocent and kind-hearted, heart-to-heart, and even a little silly self would die.
This may be the price of growth.
Life has to go on.
While helping relatives, Lu Zhuang took part-time jobs in his spare time.
In the end, the more than 3000 yuan of the loan was repaid.
After working in a relative's store for two years, the store closed down due to poor management.
After the relative supermarket closed down, Lu Zhuang went to find several jobs.
Food delivery, waiter, factory work.
During this period, I cried, laughed, tasted all kinds of cold and warm, and experienced all kinds of ups and downs.
Before you know it, it's the age of thirty.
But he still did nothing.
These years have been ups and downs, and I haven't made much money. Instead, I still have various minor problems in my body.
His grandparents urged him to find a wife as soon as possible.
Lu Zhuang felt bitter, why didn't he want to find him as soon as possible.
But it's not easy to marry a wife these days, and he can't afford a single gift money.
During the Chinese New Year, Lu Zhuang returned to his hometown with a bag on his back.
Grandpa and grandma killed chickens and ducks, very happy.
In this world, the only ones who really care about him and miss him are his grandparents at home.
But grandparents are very old.
Looking at Grandpa's old face and snowy white hair, his nose felt a little sore.
Recently, he often has nightmares, dreaming that his grandfather has passed away, and every time he is awakened by the nightmare.
Lu Zhuang originally thought that he was just worried and worried too much.
But unexpectedly, not long after, grandpa actually fell ill.
Grandpa was admitted to the hospital. Lu Zhuang stayed by his bedside and took care of him for more than half a month. Finally, grandpa left.
"Son, I'm most worried about you. Others have parents, but you don't. If Grandpa is gone, no one will want you. After I leave, you must live up to it."
"Also, smoking is bad for people, it's best to quit it."
Grandpa's words echoed in his ears, and Lu Zhuang couldn't help crying.
On the day when grandpa left, Lu Zhuang had that strange dream again.
In the endless void, that familiar yet unfamiliar figure finally turned into a slowly rotating heaven and earth mill.
From childhood to adulthood, every time he encountered any setbacks, he would have the same dream.
But never has it felt so deeply like this time.
Somewhere, he seemed to touch something.
Rumble!
Thousands of thunderbolts were exploding in his mind.
It was as if something had awakened within him.
