Chapter 272
"Just sent a message in the group, there will be a freshman orientation competition in three days, asking if anyone has signed up."
Pan Wu waved his phone and urged, "There are not many boys in our College of Arts. Let's go together. I'll sign you up."
Ni Yangzhou was busy with the drawing list in his hand. Earlier, when his parents were not divorced, his family was still well off. He attended many tutoring classes, including Sanda and art for many years. He didn't expect that his interest classes were not in vain. Now he can earn tuition by drawing some simple comic illustrations.
Magazine illustrations, internet avatars, no matter the size, I'll take it if the money is right. Apart from playing basketball for leisure and entertainment, I'm actually very busy.
Ni Yangzhou estimated the schedule and thought that he should be able to squeeze out some time to practice, so he nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, fill it in for me."
Pan Wu happily filled out the registration form and was about to discuss the practice time with Ni Yangzhou when the young man on the upper bunk's cell phone suddenly rang. Ni Yangzhou pressed the answer button, got out of bed and went to the balcony to answer the call.
"Hey, Mom."
"Hey, Zhou Zhou, how was your day? Did you make any friends? What did you eat?"
Ni Yangzhou rested his arms on the balcony railing, the breeze blowing his short hair, making the young man look fresh and handsome.
The response was always with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, my roommate and I had fish-flavored pork rice at noon and fried noodles with soybean paste at night. They were delicious, just a little worse than what you made.
The military training is over, and we went to play basketball together today. The basketball you bought for me is so cool, and they are so envious! "
In order to please his mother, Ni Yangzhou raised his voice tone and spoke in an exaggerated manner. Sure enough, the person on the other side also became happy and laughed.
"You just know how to coax me. How busy is school? What about part-time jobs? You should rest well, take fewer jobs, and concentrate on enjoying your college life. At the beginning, you are the most carefree. Mom has received several custom orders recently, and can earn a lot. I will make delicious food for you when you come back!"
Ni Yangzhou's mother has a lame leg and it is difficult for her to find a decent job. In the past few years, she has managed to earn some money by doing odd jobs and making clothes. In addition, Ni Yangzhou is sensible and can support himself, so the mother and son live happily together.
The perpetrator who put Ni Yangzhou's mother in such a situation was not an outsider, but his own father.
The man had a kind face but a bitter heart, was sensitive and suspicious, and pretended to be gentle on the outside, but when he got home he would start beating people without any reason. He would even kneel down and apologize after the beating, but that would not stop him from doing it again next time.
Ni Yangzhou was kept in the dark for many years until he accidentally returned home early, and then he uncovered the bloody truth beneath the seemingly peaceful family.
The divorce process took a long time. If Ni Yangzhou hadn't acted decisively, the marriage might not have been possible now.
The young man felt sorry for his mother and advised her, "Don't stay in front of the sewing machine all day. Take a break every hour and get up and walk around."
The person on the other end of the phone responded cheerfully: "I know, I know. Zhou Zhou, when will you come back? I'll prepare in advance."
"It's just a few days. There's an orientation basketball game in three days. I'll go back after the game if I have nothing else to do that day. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I have a few days off."
"Okay, that's good!"
The gentle mother asked about his clothes and meals worriedly, and then hung up the phone. Ni Yangzhou put the phone back into his pocket and looked at the students walking on the playground in the distance. The star-like lights covered the track like a hazy Milky Way band.
The evening breeze blew through the teaching building where the lights were still on, carrying with it the heat of summer that had not yet completely dissipated, and caressed my face, always seeming to be hesitant to speak, as if a story was about to happen.
Ni Yangzhou looked much more relaxed and he cherished his current life.
Things are developing in a good direction. Since helping his mother get divorced in middle school, the boy has learned how to reorganize his life. The most difficult time has passed.
In a few years, when I graduate, I can let my mother relax completely and enjoy her life.
Ni Yangzhou thought that life was getting better.
He felt like a child facing the wide world.
The future seems to have endless possibilities.
