The girl stood at the door and looked at Zhang Tong timidly.Zhang Tong naturally remembered this girl, after all, she had such a good appetite, and it was rare to see a girl who could eat so many noodles in one breath and how thin she looked.

Zhang Tong smiled: "Come to dinner?"

The girl looked nervous, she shook her head, and then said in a weak voice, "No, I'm here to pay back." With that, the girl took out a small change bag from her pocket, the same one she had used yesterday to hold all her possessions.

She carefully took out a five-cent coin from it and put it on the nearest table to her, and then without waiting for Zhang Tong to say anything, she bowed to Zhang Tong and pushed open the door and ran out.

"Hey, you gave me two cents more, I'll find you!" Zhang Tong put away the five cents, and shouted at the back of the girl who was gradually running away.

Yesterday the girl paid seven dollars and seven cents, although she ordered a bowl of noodles and refilled them many times. But since Zhang Tong hung out the sign of free refills, he didn't care about it. and also added a topping to her, Zhang Tong explained that she invited it, but the girl was still very stubborn to pay for the topping. And today I made up for the money I owed.

It's a little ridiculous, or it's someone else doesn't understand. You've eaten so many noodles, what's the point of paying two extra dollars for toppings? But for some people, there's a lot of meaning in it, it's a stubborn attitude to live.

In fact, there are many noodle restaurants in Huaihai, including the well-known old store Hong Ruixing in Huaihai, which will have free noodles. Some people (young and old) who don't have a very smooth life will go to the noodle restaurant to eat around 9:10 in the morning.

Order a bowl of Yangchun noodles or a bowl of scallion oil noodles, six or seven yuan, and if you don't eat enough bowls, you always have to refill the noodles once or twice. This meal is eaten together as a brunch.

Do these shops make money by doing these people? Necessarily not, it can be said that this is more of an attitude of making merit and doing things.

Huaihai is a bustling city, but it is also a scary city. Behind this glamorous city, behind those well-dressed people, there are more people living at the bottom.

Huaihai is a very realistic city, it is like a giant beast devouring all kinds of supplies from all over the country. Including talent, including water, including food, including energy, and so on.

It is never satisfied, it is always inflated. Be careful when living on its back, because if you are not careful, you may be eaten by this giant beast as nourishment.

Therefore, Huaihai is also known as the magic capital, because when it is willing to show its tame side, it is a paradise. And when it shows its ruthless side, it is hell, and all kinds of demons and monsters will tear apart the lives of those who live here.

In this city, if you have money, you are a big man, and if you don't have money, you are a red man, and there is no warmth at all.

For the sake of money, for the sake of the house, brothers can turn against each other, and father and son can kill each other. And such things happen almost every day in this city. Some people say that Huaihai is a city without temperature, maybe.

But sometimes a noodle restaurant that can be refilled for free is a place in this megacity where you can feel the warmth of strangers.

Xiao Xiao knew that she didn't do it right to go to the noodle restaurant to eat many bowls of noodles, but there was no way. Because she wants to live, to live stubbornly. It's like a weed on the side of the road, even if no one pays attention to her, she has to live stubbornly.

There is nothing to be scolded for, and there is nothing to be driven away, as long as you can live, like a stubborn weed.

Because only by living can there be hope, and choosing to commit suicide because of the pain of life? That is the act of a coward, so I don't want to end my life with my own hands! Xiao Xiao understands her insistence very well.

No matter how many times she cried, she would get back up. She has her own stubbornness and persistence, just like when she came to Zhang Tong's store today to repay the money.

This is a kind of hypocritical self-esteem, Xiao Xiao knows it very well. Even if she was paying two more yuan, Zhang Tong would be at a loss. But as I said before, since the rules for free recontinuation have been hung out, then let's enforce it.

This kind of grass-like weakest self-esteem supports Xiao Xiao to live. I don't steal, I don't rob, maybe what I'm doing is a bit excessive, but I'm sorry, I want to live, only alive can I see my mother.

Xiao Xiao heard Zhang Tong shouting to herself behind her, she didn't stop, but increased her pace. until they ran out of the corner of the street.

Zhang Tong watched Xiao Xiao's back disappear around the corner of the street, he touched the five cents in his hand, and whispered: "What a stubborn child." ”

And Little Fat Ding drank the mutton soup and ate the pepper pancakes and asked Zhang Tong, "Uncle Zhang, do you know that girl?"

"I don't know, I just had noodles yesterday. Zhang Tong shook his head. Little Fat Ding took a sip of mutton soup, and his expression seemed to be thoughtful.

Zhang Tong was a little curious: "How do you know?"

"I think I've seen it, but I can't remember it exactly. Little Fat Ding Niu Ben thought for a while: "It seems that my mother and she seem to have seen her photos when they arranged for low-income people and the community to send warmth at the same time, but I don't know the specifics." Unless I ask my mom. ”

Niu Xiaoli is from the street office, and she and Aunt Liu are familiar with this street, including the difficult groups of five-guarantee households in various communities and returnees.

Zhang Tong shook his head, and he put the five cents left by Xiao Xiao into the change box. Then he sat down opposite Niu Ben and asked Niu Ben, "Such a cute little cow teacher, what are you going to tell me today? ”

Little Fat Ding took out a napkin and wiped the greasy corners of his mouth, he first praised and said, "Uncle Zhang, the mutton soup you made is really delicious." Zhenru (Zhenru: a place name, famous for making mutton in Huaihai) is not as good as the mutton over there. ”

Zhang Tong corrected: "I said, call me brother!"

The old cucumber is painted with green paint and pretended to be tender. Little Fat Ding Niu Ben rolled his eyes inwardly, but his chubby face was still full of smiles: "Okay, Brother Zhang." ”

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time, what is the way to quickly integrate you into modern society. I have come up with the easiest and fastest way to do it!" Chubby said in a firm tone.

Zhang Tong asked with great interest: "What is it?"

Chubby Ding stretched out a finger: "Let you learn to surf the Internet! As long as you learn to surf the Internet, you will learn everything! I brought my netbook, do you have WIFI mom?"

Okay, it's WIFI again, what the hell is this thing? Zhang Tong is still confused.

PS: Someone said earlier that the protagonist's store has no turnover, but in fact there is. Jiang Hua came to the store for dinner for the second time because the business was too good in the evening and there were no ingredients left, so Zhang Tong used the ingredients he prepared for himself to make a dry roasted shrimp and tofu rice bowl for her to eat.

I didn't write about the general business, but I also explained in the previous story that the business of this shop is not good at noon, but the business is good at night. Above.

Today, it is another busy day to renovate and install floors and sanitary ware, and it is very late to update. SO, ask for a ticket, ask for a recommendation.
