Chapter 43 The bottom line of being a man
"Come to Chen Xiao, let me introduce you, this is a monkey, and he will be my apprentice in the future. After introducing the child, he said to the monkey: "Monkey, this is my sister Chen Xiao, and I will be your aunt in the future." ”
The monkey knelt down, kowtowed, and then stood up and shouted, "Hello aunt." ”
"Brother, what are you doing here? He's older than me, let him call me Senior Aunt. ”
"Okay, what's the name is just a code name, besides, I'm his master, you are my sister, and it's not wrong to call you my aunt. ”
"Forget it, I don't care about you, give. Chen Xiao handed the clothes to Han Pi, and then went back.
Seeing his sister like this, he shook his head, turned back to the monkey and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to take a bath, and I'll clean up here tomorrow." ”
"Yes, master. ”
After locking the door, Hanpi took the monkey to a nearby bathhouse.
The bathhouse is also state-run, no money, a ticket, but this ticket also costs money to buy, of course, there are also hair, according to the person's hair, one per person per month, if you want to wash a few more times, then you have to spend money to buy a ticket, it is not expensive, five cents a ticket.
But he doesn't need to buy a ticket, he has a lot of these things, even if he asks him to wash them every day, he can't use them up.
"By the way, Monkey, what's your last name?" asked Hanpi on the way to the bathhouse.
"What's the last name?" the monkey shook his head and said, "I don't know either, I know that my parents have called me Monkey since I was a child." ”
"Oh! This way, otherwise, you will be the same as me in the future, your surname will be Chen, Chen Monkey, and my name will be Chen Pi, so that the two of us together will be Leather Monkey. ”
"Well, I'll listen to the master. ”
"Okay, hahaha, skin monkey, skin monkey, in the future, our master and apprentice will make trouble in this imperial capital city like Sun Wukong. ”
At this time, the naivety is simply full of pride, and it is also a kind of fate to find a person who has the same disease.
"Foolish, come to the shower again?"
"Yes, Uncle Xu, is there anyone else in there?"
Uncle Xu is the manager of this bathhouse, and he is also the person in charge, and he is in charge of all the big and small things in the bathhouse, including collecting tickets, cleaning, and cleaning the bathhouse, all of which are all by him.
Maybe it's too many times, basically once every two days or three days, so every time Uncle Xu asks and comes to take a bath.
"No one is there. ”
"Oh! Then we're in. Hanpi gave two tickets to Uncle Xu.
The bathhouse closes at ten o'clock in the evening every day, and there is no one at eight o'clock, which is also normal, not everyone can have so many tickets like Hanpi, although a ticket is not expensive, only five cents, but it can't hold more, a family of five or six people, or even a dozen, wash it several times a month, it will cost a few dollars.
Not to mention, this monkey took a bath and changed his clothes, and now he looks, in addition to being a little malnourished, a little shorter than his peers, and his eyebrows are also beautiful, as if he is a different person.
"Monkey, squeeze the master at night, clean up the east wing room tomorrow, and then light the fire, and you will live in the east wing in the future." ”
After returning home, Han Pi remembered that he forgot to ask Chen Xiao to clean up the east wing room before going to take a bath, and now he can only make up for one night.
"I don't need a master, I can sleep on the ground. The monkey hurriedly waved his hand.
"You stinky boy, what do you sleep on the ground, you think you're still the same as before, just find a sheltered place and sleep for the night, remember, you are now a family man. ”
"Yes, master, I see. With that, the monkey's eyes turned red.
"I said you stinky boy, you are not allowed to cry, and you are not allowed to cry in the future, unless your master and I die. ”
"Master, you won't die. ”
"Stinky boy, your master and I are not immortals, how can I not die, okay, I'll get you a bed quilt, rest now, there are still many things to do tomorrow." ”
"Hmm!"
。。。。。。
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Chen Xiao went to school, and asked the monkey to clean up the room by himself, he went to the pigeon market, and yesterday he had already agreed with those people that he would collect the old money today.
"Foolish, look at me. ”
"Foolish, take a look at me first. ”
“......”
As soon as Hanpi came over, he was surrounded by a group of people, all holding some old money in his hands, there was a first set and a second set, it is estimated that these began to rummage through the cabinets after going back today and yesterday, of course, there are also collected from others.
"Everyone, be quiet, how can I collect you like this, let's find a place, I will collect them one by one, don't worry, I said, I want as much as I want. ”
"That's right, don't crowd it, let's come one by one, we can't accept it now. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, it's all crowded. ”
When everyone stopped crowding and consciously lined up, Hanpi began to collect the old money in their hands.
"Uncle, your first set is a little more than 1.32 million, and the second set is more than 261 yuan, these are good, a total of 39 yuan and 4 cents, I will give you forty. ”
"Okay, thank you, what about these?" the uncle pointed to the rest of the picking.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I can't collect the rest of the remnants, you can take them back. ”
"Forget it, it's also waste paper to bring back, so I'll give it to you. ”
After the uncle finished speaking, he took the forty yuan and left, leaving the pile of remnants and dirt coins, to be honest, these are useless even for him.
Although there are a lot of people, but the Hanpi is also fast, in less than an hour, the Hanpi will collect all the good, after these people left, leaving a lot of worthless first and second sets of residual coins on the ground.
After thinking about it, Hanpi still put these away, anyway, the space is big, and maybe it can come in handy in the future.
Later, some came over one after another, and they all let Hanpi accept it, and the middle-aged man who was going to sell him food stamps yesterday did not come, and he didn't come until it was time to go back, so Hanpi shook his head, got on his bicycle and went back.
He still doesn't believe that the middle-aged man will lie to himself, and he will never be wrong when he looks at people, and he probably has something delayed.
But even if it's cheated, isn't it just thirty yuan, it's nothing to yourself, maybe it's life-saving money in others, Hanpi is not a living Lei Feng, let alone a Bodhisattva, but he also has the bottom line of being a man.
"Master, are you back?"
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the compound, the monkey was already waiting for him.
"Hmm! The house is cleaned up?"
"Packed up. ”
"That's good. ”
The east wing was originally a house, and there was everything in it, that is, Hanpi put the things in the west wing before, and then cleaned it up, and there was a stove in it, which could be used for heating.
