Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Breakfast Shop
Song Daming had no money before, and he was used to being called a poor ghost, and he didn't feel anything.
Although he has a little money in his pocket now, and he will have money in the future, Song Daming still has a poor ghost living in his heart.
Since joining the company, he has not done anything commendable for the company and Gongxue, Gongxue gave himself 200,000 at once, which made Song Daming grateful.
The 200,000 Song Daming gave Li Baoxia 100,000, and secretly kept 100,000 for himself, he has his own little abacus. If Ji Han finds Xiao Li, he will give the 100,000 yuan to Xiao Li as a meeting gift, and Li Baoxia doesn't know anyway.
In fact, when the 100,000 yuan was handed over to Li Baoxia, she was moved to cry, and before she had a formal job, Song Daming began to get the money back, and she always had to wait until the end of the month to get back the two or three thousand wages, and this point could not guarantee that she would get it every month. Now the money she gets back at one time can cover several years' salary, so she is very satisfied. When Song Daming said that he would take Ji Han back to Pitou City to find his family this time, Li Baoxia secretly stuffed 5,000 yuan into Song Daming's luggage, and only told Song Daming when he left, the poor family is rich, don't wronged yourself, let alone Ji Han.
Song Daming and Ji Han, who rejected the driver of the black car, walked aimlessly on the streets of Pitou City. For Song Daming, life is luck, he rarely plans a thing in advance, for a long time, he is at ease with the face of life, maybe this kind of dream is at peace with the encounter, for Song Daming, it is a kind of comfort of life. He doesn't like to work tricks, he likes things that are unknown and even a little risky, and he always feels that he is lucky. Maybe it's because of this year's mental power, Song Daming has actually been very lucky, the so-called obsessive, there will be repercussions, that's what it means.
Towards the evening, they hastily except for a few mouthfuls of food on a roadside stall, continue to wander around the city, for Song Daming, who came to Pitou City for the first time, everything is fresh, he looked at the customs here with interest, listening to the plan here, not only did he not feel particularly tired, but he talked to Ji Han with relish about some of his own opinions, as if he had lived here, and Ji Han was a friend from other places.
"Hey, look at Ji Han, did you see the taxi, the color of the taxis in this place is yellow, have you noticed that in our place, the taxis are all blue. ”
"Look, look, do you see that car? It's called a Bentley, yo, you say it's a big city, and there are a lot of rich people." ”
While walking this way, Song Daming shared what he saw and heard with Ji Han. Ji Han just agreed as if he didn't understand. He felt very heavy, I don't know if it was because of the weather here or because of something here, he was a little tired.
"I'll go, see, do you see the old man? Song Daming pointed to an old man diagonally opposite.
"See, Brother Da Ming, what's wrong?" Ji Han asked curiously.
Song Daming's face was happy, and his hands were waving in the air, "Tell you, Ji Han, Brother Daming, I'm a master at playing this, I used to be a security guard in the park, and there are many old men playing with this, but no one can play with me......"
Song Daming waved his hand and turned around from time to time, he may have forgotten what he was doing here.
Ji Han looked at the old man who was playing with empty bamboo, he was practicing hard to shake the empty bamboo in the small square opposite, many people who got off work around him were walking in a hurry, there were a few old people playing chess on the stone bench around, and a cleaner was sweeping the ground hard, she adjusted the hair that fell out of her head from time to time, and put her hair back to the back of her head with her hands.
Ji Han looked at this scene attentively, and he didn't know why, he felt that this cleaning was familiar.
"Brother Da Ming, look, the woman sweeping the floor. Ji Han pointed in the direction of cleaning.
Song Daming, who was at the head of the performance, was interrupted by Ji Han and looked at the cleaner with a reluctant face.
"Yo, this woman is not very old, how can she do cleaning, oh, look at you, she is a cripple, haha!"
What Ji Han was about to say again, Song Daming pulled Ji Han up, "Let's go, let's go forward, maybe we can meet the Xiao Li you are looking for in front!"
Ji Han had no choice but to give up and follow Song Daming to the front.
Life is sometimes so unforgiving, and it seems so amorous. Sometimes when we are looking for a person or a thing, we are in a hurry, anxious, panicked, looking around in the crowd, our hesitant eyes everywhere reveal this despair, perhaps, the person you are looking for is passing by you.
Along the moat of Pitou City, they walked like this, chatting with each other, the hurried city gradually quieted down, the pedestrians on the road gradually disappeared, occasionally a few cars passed by the street lamps on the side of the street, those street lamps stretched the shadows of the opposite street lamps very long, the shadows of the street lamps lay diagonally on the silent zebra crossing, lying among the trees and flowers that had fallen asleep. Bursts of loud music could be heard in the distance.
Walking forward, you will arrive at the place where the nightlife of Pitou City gathers, where there is the most lively bar in Pitou City---- Daji Bar. Song Daming didn't want to go forward, he looked at Ji Han and looked tired, and ordered the nearest express hotel from his mobile phone.
After checking in, Song Daming fell asleep, his tired body made Song Daming not want to move, there was no snoring of Li Baoxia around him, he was like a bird leaving the cage, sleeping peacefully in this strange city.
Ji Han couldn't sleep, a lot of things he wanted to say stopped as soon as he came to his mouth, many things also felt familiar but unfamiliar, he began to slowly understand the meaning of a fool, maybe he was really a fool, he would never be like Song Daming, he could do so many things, and he was the vice president at the time, and he could tell himself so many truths. Song Daming taught himself a lot of things.
Ji Han was tossing and turning all night, what a year, for Ji Han, he couldn't remember if he had ever been so unable to sleep peacefully, if there was, it must be that he was standing in the yard waiting for Xiao Li, no matter how late it was, he had to wait.
When it was almost dawn, Ji Han fell asleep grogily.
Song Daming slept beautifully, and when he woke up, he found that Ji Han was still tossing and turning, and he was not asleep yet. He got up gently, changed his clothes, and walked out of the hotel.
Song Daming came to a nearby breakfast shop, and now that he has money in his pocket, he no longer needs to rub the free porridge on the stall, which makes Song Daming feel very satisfied. This is a small breakfast shop of less than 30 square meters, the food in the store is very simple, only some buns, noodles, chaos and the like, Song Daming is used to living a hard life, it is good to be full.
Because it is a weekend, the business of the breakfast shop is not booming, and the people who go to work finally have a good night's sleep on the weekend when they don't have to get up early, and the children who don't have to go to school are also lying in bed and falling asleep. Occasionally, a few children who are taken by their parents to cram school or interest classes are blindfolded, dozing off, and drinking porridge with a huff. For these children, there is no greater interest than a good night's sleep, and they do not want to be forced to go to class on their only day off.
Song Daming was not in a hurry, he estimated that Ji Han would have to wake up for more than an hour, so he was not in a hurry. When he finished eating, he packed it for Ji Han to take back, if it was too early, Ji Han would be cold before he woke up. Because there were not many people, the boss didn't say anything, and Song Daming sat there and ate breakfast slowly.
The busiest time of the breakfast shop, that is, that hour, when the people slowly dispersed, Song Daming walked to the bar.
"Boss, check out, and help me pack a Chaos, a basket of steamed buns, two tea eggs, and pickles. ”
The boss walked out of the back kitchen, and after a busy morning, he was also relieved, and when he saw a cigarette handed over by Song Daming, he took out a lighter and lit it himself, and took two puffs.
"Listen to your accent, you're not a local!" the boss asked, packing up.
"Oh, boss, I'm not a local, I'm from Hanjiang City. ”
"Hanjiang City, far enough, since I opened a breakfast shop, I haven't been out of Pitou City in the past 20 years, I heard that there is a Disneyland in Hanjiang City, and I won't open a breakfast shop in the future, so I will take my grandson to play." ”
Song Daming smiled, "Welcome, I'll invite you to dinner when I go." ”
It's a polite remark, the kind that everyone knows. If you really say that you want to have a meal, the probability of this kind of thing is so low that it can't be lower. But that's just one way, the conventional way.
The boss is also a talkative person, and he continued to talk to Song Daming.
"Are you visiting relatives or doing business in Pitou City this time?"
Song Daming replied: "Don't make a sound, visit relatives, it can be regarded as finding someone." I have a friend who has amnesia and wants to find his girlfriend but doesn't have any clues. ”
The boss became interested and hurriedly asked: "There is no clue at all, I have opened a breakfast shop here for 20 years, maybe I can help you think about it!"
"That's great, that's right, all my friend can remember is that they lived in a small yard with a camphor tree. Nothing else, it seems!"
"Small yard, camphor tree, I said brother, don't tease me, although our small city is not big, you can find tens of thousands of yards, and in our place, every household plants camphor trees, haha, that's hanging!" said that the boss finished collecting the money and handed the rest of the change to Song Daming.
Song Daming turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly he turned around and said, "By the way, that girl's name is Xiao Li!"
"Xiao Li?" The boss also stood and looked at Song Daming. "Which Xiao Li, don't say it, I really know that there is a person named Xiao Li. ”
Song Daming was taken aback and asked, "Do you know Xiao Li?"
The boss smiled: "There are more people with this name, I know that Xiao Li, I can't be considered to know, I heard." But it seems to have died last year. The boss lowered his voice, "I was beaten to death, and I offended the big developer in Pitou City!"
Song Daming took out another cigarette, handed one to the boss, and put a whole box of cigarettes on the table.
The boss looked down at the cigarette case, then at Song Daming and continued: "Don't say what I said, this Xiao Li is a dancer, the top dancer in a bar near us, I heard that she also participated in a dance competition, she is beautiful and has a good figure, but unfortunately she offended a developer named Liu Ge and was beaten to death." By the way, your friend probably doesn't know the woman in this kind of fireworks place, and I see that you are also a serious person. ”
"What time are you talking about?" Song Daming continued to ask.
"I don't remember exactly, last year, probably at this time, this matter was in a uproar in Pitou City, I opened a small restaurant, every day there are always people here gossip about these things, sometimes I listen to it when I'm not busy. ”
The boss threw away the cigarette butt, lowered his voice and said, "Some people say that the woman ran away with her boyfriend, but who knows, in that kind of place, good people also become bad people." ”
"Don't you have to finish the bowl?" the proprietress walked out of the back kitchen.
"Yes, yes, I don't pack the bill for the guests!" the boss muttered back.
At this time, a security guard came from outside, the security guard drooped his head, just woke up, saw someone coming, the boss beckoned, "What to eat?" ”
When he passed by Song Daming's side, the boss glanced at him and whispered, "This is the security guard of that bar, you can ask him." With that, he walked to the back kitchen.
