After a long journey of several hours, the bus finally arrived in the city. Sun Lei has not been to the city for nearly a year and a half because of his work, although he is just passing by this time, Sun Lei still wants to take a good look at the changes in the city.

As soon as the bus entered the city, Sun Lei was busy looking out of the window, there was no pedestrian on the street, the whole city gave people a feeling of an empty city, the foggy sky was dripping with light rain, the raindrops hit the window and splashed out, Sun Lei felt a biting cold through the glass. The vehicle continued to drive, and when it arrived at the most lively area in the past, Sun Lei deliberately looked around, and occasionally a vehicle was whistling and speeding by, and the panic in the heart of the owner could be felt from the speed of the car, as if the virus would catch up with him if he drove slowly. After driving on the empty street for a long time, Sun Lei and his entourage finally arrived at the temporary hotel, after Sun Lei got out of the car, he habitually looked around, and finally saw pedestrians, at the corner of the hotel entrance, an aunt who sold snacks pushed a tricycle in the cold wind and walked slowly towards the front, no one could be found on the empty street, and it was estimated that this aunt could not sell a copy all day long.

Sun Lei stepped forward and called the aunt who was leaving. The aunt heard someone calling for herself and quickly stopped the tricycle. "Auntie, how do you sell this baked sweet potato. Sun Lei looked at the red-hot stove on the tricycle full of fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, and couldn't help but sniffle, this smell easily evoked Sun Lei's childhood memories.

When the aunt saw the business coming to the door, she finally had a smile on her frozen red face, this was her first business today. "Four dollars a catty, if you want to buy it, I will charge you three dollars and five." "In fact, three yuan and five pounds can't make much money, but this whole day a roasted sweet potato has not been sold, seeing that the roasted sweet potato in this stove is going to be bad, it is not bad to be able to recover a little cost, and the little people live a life, always budgeting.

"Auntie, just four yuan a catty, I bought all the sweet potatoes in your stove. Looking at his aunt's frozen red face and frostbite on her hands, Sun Lei's heart was unspeakably uncomfortable, if it weren't for the compulsion of life, who would want to go out of the stall at this time?

"Young man, what are you buying so many roasted sweet potatoes for, this stove has twenty or thirty catties, how can you eat them alone? In this way, you can buy two catties, and I will sell them to you at three yuan and five catties. The simple aunt was not happy because Sun Lei bought her sweet potatoes, her first thought was whether Sun Lei could eat these sweet potatoes, she would rather lose the sweet potatoes in this stove than see Sun Lei waste, this is the good quality of Chinese farmers from generation to generation.

"Auntie, there are a lot of us, we can eat all these sweet potatoes, you see, my companions are over there!" Sun Lei said and pointed in the direction where the bus was. The aunt looked in the direction Sun Lei pointed out, and saw about eight or nine people gathered next to a bus, and it seemed that they could really eat the twenty catties of sweet potatoes. "Okay, I'll sell it to you, and if you say it's good, you'll pay three dollars and five pounds. The aunt smiled and called the sweet potatoes, a total of twenty-four catties.

"Young man, it's twenty-four pounds in total, eighty-four yuan, I'll charge you eighty!" The aunt smiled and handed two bags of sweet potatoes to Sun Lei. "Auntie, can you scan WeChat?" asked Sun Lei.

"Yes, now this WeChat is convenient, and we don't need to make change, and we are not afraid of receiving counterfeit money. The aunt handed over a QR code as she spoke. Sun Lei took the QR code, opened his mobile phone to take a photo, took a photo according to the QR code, and then began to scan the code.

When the aunt heard that Sun Lei paid her ninety-six yuan, the aunt said that she would get back twelve yuan for Sun Lei, Sun Lei refused, and the aunt said that she didn't agree to anything, took out the twelve yuan of change and stuffed it into Sun Lei's pocket, and said: "We said that the good three yuan and five pounds, how can I charge you so much money!" Seeing that the aunt insisted on finding herself twelve yuan, Sun Lei didn't insist, and took the twelve yuan handed by the aunt and put it in his pocket.

When the aunt was about to leave with the tricycle, Sun Lei said, "Wait a minute, Auntie." Auntie stopped and looked back at Sun Lei. Sun Lei put down the two bags of sweet potatoes in his hand, took out a box of masks from the backpack he was carrying, handed it to his aunt, and said, "Auntie, you take this mask, remember to wear it when you go out of the stall." This aunt is the only one Sun Lei has encountered wearing a mask in recent days, it may be that she has a poor sense of prevention, or it may be that she really has no extra money to buy a mask, no matter what the situation, Sun Lei always feels that he has an obligation to help this aunt.

The aunt took the mask, rummaged in her pocket for a long time, and finally took out ten yuan and handed it to Sun Lei, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know if this ten yuan is enough for this box of masks, but I only have this money, if it's not enough, you can tell me, can I buy one?" Auntie's words made Sun Lei teary-eyed, Sun Lei held back tears and said: "Auntie, this box of masks is for you, don't want your money." ”

"Young man, you better take back the mask, I'm just an old lady, I'm not afraid of any virus, you're still young, you have to protect yourself, I heard that masks can't be bought now." The aunt handed the mask to Sun Lei as she spoke. Sun Lei hurriedly refused and said: "Auntie, you don't have to worry, I have enough masks here, you better accept them! Without waiting for the aunt to say anything, Sun Lei picked up two bags of roasted sweet potatoes and walked in the direction of the hotel.

Sun Lei came to the door of the hotel and saw that the colleagues who set off with him were waiting for him at the door. "Sun Lei, we are looking for you, we thought you had escaped, if you don't show up again, we will call the police. Liu Tao joked. "I'm going to buy a roasted sweet potato, you're all shocked, you're a demon, and when I come back, I'll have to find a mage to take you from this evil animal." Sun Lei glanced at Liu Tao, and Sun Lei remembered Liu Tao's ridicule of himself before departure.

Liu Tao looked at the distant figure of the aunt who sold sweet potatoes thoughtfully, and said, "I also like roasted sweet potatoes, share a little with me." As he spoke, he took a bag of sweet potatoes from Sun Lei's hand, and the action was not like asking others to share something with him, but like a robbery.

Sun Lei opened the bag and greeted his colleagues: "Come on, come on, everyone come to eat sweet potatoes, freshly baked, and still steaming! Liu Tao don't rely on me here, you can't eat your bag, don't fight these ideas." ”

A group of people with roasted sweet potatoes dragged suitcases into the hotel, just into the hotel door, the hotel waiter came forward to take the temperature of everyone, after measuring the body temperature, do registration, after the registration is completed, everyone returned to the room.

Sun Lei and Liu Tao shared a room, and after arriving at the room, Liu Tao put down his luggage and sat at the head of the bed, and said: "I have to take a bite first, I will be hungry along the way." As he spoke, he broke the sweet potato, and when he couldn't wait to peel it, he bit it down, and then he heard a wolf's howl, and the old boy was burned.

"You eat slowly, and no one will rob you. Sun Lei said angrily.

"You kid tell me honestly, how much did you buy this sweet potato?"

"Three yuan and five pounds, not much money!" Sun Lei said.

"I said that I want you to be honest, why are you still not honest? Do you want me to torture you?" Liu Tao didn't believe Sun Lei's words.

"Twenty-four catties of sweet potatoes are eighty-four yuan, this is three and fifty-four catties, right?"

"Tell me, how much money did you give that auntie?"

"I didn't give money, I just sent a box of masks. Sun Lei replied truthfully.

Seeing that Sun Lei said sincerely, Liu Tao finally dispelled the doubts in his heart, turned around and quietly eliminated the sweet potato in his hand.

Sun Lei took advantage of Liu Tao's turnaround, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened the album, and transferred 1,000 yuan to the aunt who sold sweet potatoes after identifying the QR code. Sun Lei is not a rich man, strictly speaking, he is not even the middle class, he earns more than 10,000 yuan a month in that small county, but in addition to various living expenses, Sun Lei can't have a few dollars left in his pocket, although his life has been poor, but Sun Lei does not attach much importance to money, in his heart, there are many things in this world that are more important than money.

Sun Lei's lifestyle has always been like this, as long as there is food, drink and housing, as for the pursuit of luxury in food, clothing and housing, this is something Sun Lei has never thought of, maybe because he grew up in the countryside and is used to living a hard life, Sun Lei is quite satisfied with the current situation, he can live his own life, and there are still thousands of yuan left in a month, Sun Lei is indescribably satisfied.

This kind of attitude to life in the eyes of many people is not enterprising, but Sun Lei doesn't care about these, he feels that following his heart is the most important thing, just like just transferring money to the aunt who sells sweet potatoes, Sun Lei doesn't want to show off in front of people, but he thinks that the aunt is more difficult than himself, and he can help if he can, there are many people in this world who are not easy to live than himself, this is a sentence that Sun Lei often says, and it is also the root of his lack of progress in the eyes of others. But Sun Lei doesn't care what others say, when he encounters something he thinks he should stand up, he is always duty-bound, there is a saying: if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Sun Lei has always disagreed with this sentence, in Sun Lei's view, whether poor or rich, there must always be a heart to help the world, in Sun Lei's life creed, he likes another sentence more; Help others as much as you can, and in the end you are happy yourself, and giving roses to others is the truth.
