Chapter 151: One is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer
The little girl with a Latino face ordered food before saying that she had no money, which was obviously wrong.
But this is not a bully meal, neither touched nor eaten, and wants to sing in exchange, if it is not cornered, no one will want to be so low-voiced.
Even if you don't want to give it for free, you can just sell it to other customers while it's hot, or you can eat it yourself.
How hard it can be to say "no".
Throwing pizza directly into the trash can hurts self-esteem.
It is equivalent to directly insulting her and saying: Look, even if I throw it away, I won't fill your stomach.
Han Chudong couldn't get used to this approach.
In a blink of an eye, he took out his wallet, took out three bills with a denomination of 20 US dollars, and asked Driver Wu to help deliver them to the other party.
Since you have the ability, you can just help others.
I don't want to be a good person, and I won't pretend not to see it if I happen to meet it, but it's just sixty dollars, and two cigars are more than that.
Chinatown is full of poor people, and he has provided employment opportunities in the past.
Although the salary is relatively low, it may be important for some families, especially those in their sixties and seventies, who are lonely and helpless, and no one wants to give them the opportunity to earn money.
Not to mention how much money you make, the income from assembling toys and packaging toys is enough to buy food and daily necessities, so it is a way to live.
Otherwise, if you move the toy factory to Southeast Asia, even if you count the freight, the cost can be reduced by a few cents or a dozen cents, and a small amount of money can add up.
When Mr. Matthew Russell saw his actions, he smiled knowingly and said, "You are such a good man. ”
"Just let her buy some food, everyone will have a difficult time, and for a young person like her, life is very difficult. Han Chudong put away his wallet and continued to eat lunch without appetite.
He is also a young man, but the situation is different, even if he does not start a business to make money, his parents and elders can help shelter from the wind and rain, even if it is the kind of life a few months ago, it is enough to make many people envious.
Mr. Russell treated him differently and felt more favorable.
The business problem has been discussed, and they will soon leave, even if they consume in fast food restaurants, Han Chudong will leave some money as a tip, but this time he didn't give it.
When you go out.
Seeing the driver Wu Hai beside him, he followed the little Latino girl and asked what was going on with his eyes.
Wu Hai told:
"She wants you to listen to the song first, and then she is willing to take the money, she is not very old, her temper is really not small, and she says that she is not begging.
I couldn't help it, I was going to leave it at that, but she cared about the money, and she was reluctant to leave, and said that she would never enter this store again. ”
Han Chudong thought it was interesting after listening to it, and said happily: "Then let's start, sing me a song, and then take the money away to buy something to eat, OK?"
I saw a rough face just now, and now I look at it, it's hard to say whether this little girl is fourteen years old or not.
An old guitar paint is peeling off, not much smaller than her size.
“…… Thanks, I hate it here, can you go to the park across the road?"
"Of course, this feud should be remembered, how old are you this year, what about your parents, why don't you get a job?" Han Chudong asked her.
Latino girls are more vigilant, similar to the stray wild cats in the alleys, even if they get a mouthful of food, they will still habitually keep a safe distance.
She replied, "At the age of seventeen, my mother went out on business and would be back soon. ”
Hearing this, not only Wu Hai didn't believe it, but Han Chudong also looked strange, white and Latino girls developed earlier, and their size jumped rapidly during puberty, and no one looked at this girl like seventeen years old.
I thought it was a lie, but I didn't dig deeper, and I was going to give some money after listening to the song, so I went to the Storm Electric Echo Park branch to take a look, and I was too lazy to ask.
Cross the road to the opposite side.
The girl sat on the flower bed and picked up the guitar, don't look small, she seemed to be more talented, and when she played the guitar, a beautiful music sounded over.
It's not the song "Country Road Take Me Home" anymore, it's another recent hit song "Yesterday Again".
She was right on the side of the road, singing:
When I was young
(When I was a kid)
Id listen to the radio
(Listen to the radio)
Waiting for my favorite songs
(Waiting for my favorite song)
When they played Id sing along
(I chant softly along to the song as it plays)
It made me smile
(I have a happy smile on my face)
……
It plays well and sounds good.
The voice is penetrating, and even the sound of a car cannot be hidden.
This made Han Chudong's eyes shine, and he was fascinated by listening to it on the side of the road at noon, and felt that it sounded more comfortable than the original song.
Originally, I thought that if it didn't sound good, I would listen to it patiently, but at the moment I just felt amazing.
The people who sang were devoted, and the people who listened were also devoted, and after the song ended, the little girl immediately stretched out her hand to Han Chudong, and this time she wanted to be at ease when she asked for money.
Crying and laughing, Han Chudong first gave twenty dollars of money, shook another piece of paper and said, "Sing another song, these twenty dollars are also yours." ”
This temptation is very good to make.
Nodding her head without thinking about it, the little Latino girl continued to play and sing the Eagles song, followed by "Country Road Take Me Home."
"It's all someone else's song, have you ever written your own song?"
When Han Chudong gave her the third banknote, he asked her, adding: "What's your name?"
"Zoe. ”
The little girl named Zoe stuffed the money into her pocket, and touched it uneasily, so she couldn't help but smile and replied, "I haven't written a song, but I created my own song, and I will ask someone to help me write the lyrics, release a record, and hold a concert in the future!" I have never played it in front of others, if you want to listen to it...... Forty dollars!"
"Okay, Zoyi, you can play, I'll pay you. ”
You have to get money to be willing to play.
She also went inside and came to a place where there was no one by the lake, saying that she was afraid that someone else would steal the score.
Han Chudong's thoughts are more rational.
Knowing that this little girl is now more concerned about how to live in the future than gratitude, it is not wrong to have the idea of wanting to earn more money from herself.
Not everyone can have a happy family, a good education, and not worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation from an early age, and it is not easy for more people to just live, and different living environments lead to different personal ideas and practices, and the perspective of looking at things is also different.
The other party plays and sings, he pays, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it's a fair deal.
Being able to know that singing for money, instead of taking the money away, is enough to make Han Chudong admire.
After sitting by the lake.
Zoe was more serious than just now, her fingertips flowing, and she quickly played a song that Han Chudong had never heard, which sounded more passionate and complete.
I don't have the ability to write lyrics, but if I write the lyrics well, it should be a good song.
When she finished playing, Han Chudong happily gave forty US dollars, and told: "I'll give you an original song, and when the time comes, go to those big music companies to play and sing, maybe someone is willing to sign a contract with you." ”
Because of his appearance, there is a high probability that future history will be rewritten, and some songs are not expected to appear again.
Instead of hiding the pearl in the head and covering it with dust, it is better to give it to those in need.
But it's not for nothing.
He added: "But first tell you, if you are really famous, you must help more people in need like I helped you, yes?"
Zoe felt that he had no loss, and instantly said, "Okay, are you a composer?"
