Chapter 1 Poverty is the Original Sin
Suzhou City.
In the corner of the café sat a young man and a woman.
The man smiled and nodded from time to time, as if accustomed to acting as a listener.
Wei Xiaoqing pursed her lips and smiled: "Sometimes I always think you are very strange, enthusiastic and cold for a while. ”
She took a sip of the coffee in the cup, and the two of them were better classmates in college, so they joked: "I wonder if you have two personalities!"
Chen Dong's eyes inadvertently flashed other emotions, but this emotion was hidden by him deeply.
He laughed in response, "Really?"
The wind outside was a little cool, and the weather seemed to be slowly starting to cool down.
Chen Dong squinted at this girl, he rarely posts on Moments, and just posted some psychological articles a few days ago.
Probably because of his personality, there are not many friends who like it.
It's just that this girl is among the people who like it, so she has a certain good impression of her.
At this moment, Wei Xiaoqing's phone suddenly rang.
She smiled at Chen Dong, then picked up her mobile phone to answer, and then responded with some surprise: "It turns out that it's five o'clock, and I haven't gone to get the cake yet!"
After she hung up the phone, she said to Chen Dong apologetically: "I have to go first, today is my brother's birthday, I ordered a cake to remind me to get it." ”
Chen Dong nodded in understanding, "Okay!"
Wei Xiaoqing put the phone in his bag, packed it up, stood up, and turned to leave.
Chen Dong was about to look at the opening and say that he could send her off......
But his eyes soon saw that the white BMW sedan outside was parked on the side of the road, seemingly waiting for someone.
Sure enough.
Wei Xiaoqing pushed open the door of the café and walked towards the BMW sedan.
If he guessed correctly, the phone call should have been from someone in the car.
A man was sitting in the driver's seat and was talking about something, Wei Xiaoqing went around to the co-pilot to open the door and sat in.
Chen Dong didn't speak, just quietly watched the other party leave.
He was a little glad he hadn't spoken.
Seeing that the man is about the same age as himself, it is estimated that he should be Wei Xiaoqing's boyfriend.
Chen Dong glanced at the broken Mazda he parked outside, this 10-year-old car was so downcast.
He had some complications in his heart, and silently drank the coffee in his cup.
Chen Dong stood up, pushed the door out, and walked towards his car.
This second-hand car cost him a year's savings, and he bought it mainly to make some money, otherwise just getting a salary would not be enough to support his life.
The cool breeze gently brushed his cheeks, which seemed to sober him up a bit.
It's just a little episode in life.
How to live, or how to live.
Back in the car.
He clicked on the mobile phone APP "Didi" to enter the driver's background, and took advantage of the night to come, at this time the list would be slightly more.
Moments later, he received an order to go to the city center.
It took about eight minutes.
Chen Dong's car came to the outside of a three-star hotel, and he saw a group of people looking around at the entrance of the hotel, probably waiting for the bus.
"It's coming, it's coming. ”
"It's not a car, is it?"
"The license plate number is right, this is it!"
The tall and thin Manager Han criticized his subordinates: "Why didn't you call a special car, is it just that money?"
Mr. Li smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, just go home!"
Everyone politely sent Mr. Li to the car, and told Chen Dong three times to deliver it to the door.
Manager Han said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I couldn't send you back in person." ”
Mr. Li was a little drunk, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, you guys also pay attention to safety!"
Bang!
The smell of alcohol came to the nose, and the guests sat in the back of the car.
Chen Dongcai stepped on the accelerator and the car moved forward slowly.
When you get on the highway, it's as if the whole world is quiet, and everything around you is rapidly regressing.
The corners of Chen Dong's eyes twitched slightly, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
I don't know why, he felt that he was in poor shape today.
Less than five minutes.
The guests in the back seat began to tumble over and gagged in Haiti.
Immediately, the unpleasant smell filled the whole car.
Chen Dong immediately opened all the windows, and then took out a tissue with one hand and handed it to the guests behind.
Mr. Li took the tissue a little embarrassed and wiped it vigorously.
It seems that after spitting out some wine, Mr. Li also came to his senses.
Since I was walking fast on the highway and the wind was blowing from the windows, I didn't feel the unpleasant smell anymore.
Mr. Li moved his butt to a clean place on the other side, and he said apologetically: "I'm sorry to get your car dirty." ”
With that, he touched his wallet, took out two hundred yuan in it, and handed it to the young man, "Go wash it, this money is mine." ”
Chen Dong didn't shirk it, and directly took the two hundred yuan.
Time passed, and the car slowly got off the highway, ready to turn into the city.
Mr. Li felt a little bored, so he took the initiative to chat: "You are a part-time Didi, right?"
Chen Dong responded: "Hmm!"
Mr. Li nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Young man, it's okay to suffer a little!"
Chen Dong was silent, when the other party paid for himself, he was very simple, and the two hundred yuan was nothing to the other party.
Mr. Li was probably a little emotional, and he said: "Sometimes, I think it's not easy for you, and a month of exhaustion and hard work is not enough for me to pay for a meal." ”
As soon as these words fell, the car instantly fell into dead silence.
Chen Dong suddenly saw it in his heart, and his heart felt like something had penetrated it, and he felt a faint pain.
The other party's unintentional words, as well as the chance encounter of the old classmates just now, vividly show the cruel reality.
Poverty is not a sin, it is an original sin.
His mood had plummeted to freezing point.
That indescribable emotion was spreading, and his eyelids were beating desperately, as if something was about to roar and tear out of his body......
Chen Dong suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the whole car stopped sharply.
Piercing brakes –
