"Brother Dabao, how much do you think these things can be sold for?" wiped a handful of sweat, Li Erhu was very satisfied with the harvest of the two today, when he picked up the garbage just now, he turned out more than fifty yuan from the garbage, which is equivalent to what they got from picking up garbage in the morning, so at this time, Li Erhu also had a little more smile on his face.

"These things can be sold for a few bucks, and it's not summer, and I don't even have a drink bottle, it's really his grandmother's back. Obviously, Zhao Dabao did not seem relaxed on the surface in his heart, and scolded with a touch of worry in his eyes.

"It's not, since we were expelled from school, we've been unlucky, going to the restaurant to serve dishes and thinking we are ugly, and we didn't pick it out for being ugly, and we didn't get in the way of anyone. Li Erhu talked about what happened to him this month, and his mood was also a little low.

"People are afraid that the two of us standing there will affect the business of the restaurant, and they can't complain about them, but I don't hate them the most. His eyes narrowed, and Zhao Dabao had a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

"Yes, if it weren't for Wang Zihan of that dog day, we wouldn't have ended up like this. ”

"In the final analysis, people are still rich and powerful, the two of us are floating like duckweed, this society is very realistic, hurry up and work, get more waste cartons, sell them back and send them back, your mother's illness can't be delayed anymore." Sighing, Zhao Dabao looked unwilling to lean down, pinched the garbage on the ground with both hands, and threw it all into the garbage can.

"Brother Dabao, when I went back for the Spring Festival this time, my aunt also asked you to bring some money back, and you gave me all the money, so what should I do if my aunt asks?"

"What can I do, just say I didn't make it, don't ask, hurry up and work." Muttering, Zhao Dabao remembered that his mother had called before, saying that the family was short of money to build a house, and his brows were also wrinkled.

"Brother Dabao, my aunt said that she wanted to find you a daughter-in-law, if you don't get any money back, this matter will be yellow. Li Erhu continued to ask.

"If it's yellow, it's yellow, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, your mother's illness is the most important, it can't be delayed any longer, this money will treat your mother first!" Zhao Dabao said undoubtedly.

"But I heard from the eldest lady that this time it was a little widow from the neighboring village that the eldest mother couldn't find her, and she was very beautiful, so it was a pity to miss it. ”

"Why are you talking so much today!" glared at Li Erhu, who was chattering, Zhao Dabao was a little angry.

Your mother, my eldest mother, didn't hurt me much when I was a child, and my Zhao Dabao was not rich and noble, but I also remember who was good to me and who was bad to me.

"Erhuzi, I promised my aunt to take you to get ahead, and I originally followed Ye Gongzi to see some improvement, but this time because I let you suffer, I can't stand you, and I feel ashamed, I feel comfortable with this money for my aunt's treatment, do you understand?"

Shaking Li Erhu's shoulder, Zhao Dabao's eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little broken.

I vaguely remember that seven years ago, I walked out of the mountains with the Erhuzi in front of me, who had been a little silly since childhood, and stood at the entrance of the village to say to the white-haired mother and the seriously ill Erhuzi mother.

"Mother, aunt, just look at it, I and Erhuzi don't mix up like each other this time, even if we die outside, we will never go back to the mountains to ask your fellow villagers for a bite to eat, you just take it, at least three or five years, at most seven or eight years, the two of us will definitely return to our hometown." ”

Zhao Dabao still remembers these words vividly, every time he thinks of his original ambitions, and then looks at the current reality, there is always an inexplicable sadness.

It has been seven years since they left the mountain, and in seven years, he and Erhuzi have endured all kinds of hardships, there is no so-called Feihuang Tengda, the stubborn two have not been back to the mountain for seven years, and they have not seen the old mother once, and the two of them are so stubborn and stubborn about the decisions they once made.

"But the eldest lady is not in good health. When Zhao Dabao said this, Li Erhu's eyes were also red.

"Don't get in the way, when I called, my mother said that I could hold on, first cure my mother's illness, and then go back to treat my mother's illness. Smiling, Zhao Dabao said very freely, in fact, only he knew that his mother was also very sick, although the old mother always lowered her voice on the phone and deliberately pretended to be fine, Zhao Dabao vaguely heard that his mother's asthma was serious again.

After years of hard work, my mother's body is not much better than that of my mother.

"Brother Dabao, why don't we become beggars like everyone else? I have heard from a beggar who eats in a restaurant these days that he can get hundreds or thousands of yuan a day. Li Erhu asked timidly.

And Zhao Dabao, who originally had a very good face, heard Li Erhu's words, and his face instantly became gloomy.

"Erhuzi, you listen to me, if you dare to do that shitty deed behind my back, I will break your legs, understand?"

"Ming...... Got it. Glared at by Zhao Dabao's cold eyes, Li Erhu was a little scared, this was the first time he had seen Zhao Dabao have such fierce eyes.

"Erhuzi, those fake beggars on the street have eaten their consciences by dogs, deceived other people's sympathy, earned ill-gotten gains, and sooner or later will be punished by God, do you understand?

"People can't be proud, and they can't be arrogant! Without dignity, there is no point in living. Being fake beggars can make a lot of money, but they are also harming real beggars who have no food to eat? This is a damage to yin morality, so that the villagers will be poked in the backbone if they know the way. ”

Zhao Dabao said seriously, it doesn't matter if people are poor, but there are some things that cannot be lost, especially people like them who came out of the mountains, they are already looked down upon by others, if they even look down on themselves and do cheap things, then no one will look down on you.

Zhao Dabao's words made Li Erhu's whole person shudder, his mother said seven years ago before he left that people are poor and ambitious, and they can't let people outside the mountain look down on them, and Brother Dabao's words are just that.

"Brother Dabao, don't worry, no matter how poor I am, I will never go behind your back to beg for it!" gritting his teeth, Li Erhu said solemnly.

"Hehe, that's right, we are the ones who will do big things in the future, we won't do the kind of thing of begging for others!" patted Li Erhu's neck, and Zhao Dabao leaned down.

"Hurry up and work, you picked up fifty yuan in the morning, you can eat a good meal at noon, there are not eight meat buns, four yuan, four per person, you invite me this time." Now it's different from before, if you want to save money for your mother's treatment, we can save it. "Eh!" Li Erhu nodded in agreement, his face showed an optimistic expression again, and he buried his head in helping Zhao Dabao put the garbage into the garbage bin.

"Brother Dabao. ”

"Huh?"

"You said that if Teacher Ye is here, will he help us?"

"Why, do you still want to be a security guard at Yucheng University? Tell you, as a security guard there, you will never be able to get ahead. Hearing Li Erhu's words, Zhao Dabao said while picking up garbage.

"I didn't mean that, Mr. Ye is usually so good to us, giving us cigarettes and wine, but now that we have been fired, we haven't invited him to dinner, and I always feel that I can't get by. Li Erhu said with an embarrassed face, in the past few months, Mr. Ye has given them cigarettes and alcohol more than once, although they are all thrown to them, but Li Erhu remembers it clearly.

"It's really a little bad, but what can we do now that we're expelled? And Teacher Ye is a person who does big things, so he may not remember a little person like us, so just say hello when we meet in the future. ”

"Is it just a matter of saying hello? You even ran away silently, the bad boy is easy to find, how can you say that you have to eat a big meal, right? Let alone eight meat buns!" Just as Zhao Dabao finished speaking, and was about to throw some of the last garbage into the trash can, a voice suddenly sounded behind him.

But Zhao Dabao and Li Erhu, who heard this voice, were stunned in place.

Slowly getting up and turning their heads to look, the two saw Ye Huang slowly walking in with Gao Hu and Gao Jian, Ye Huang had a faint smile on his face, and the two people behind him looked at them with a touch of admiration.

"Teacher Ye, why did you recruit you? Looking at Ye Huang's sudden appearance, Zhao Dabao almost couldn't believe his eyes, thinking of the dilemma he and Erhuzi were in at the moment, his face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, he originally wanted to wipe his sweat, but his hands were full of stinky garbage, so he could only give up.

"Teacher Ye, I remember that you usually call me Brother Ye, why didn't you see each other for two weeks, so you changed your name?"

"Look at the way we look now, will Brother Ye lower your identity?" stretched out his dirty hand, Zhao Dabao's expression was slightly embarrassed and bitter.

If he was still a little security guard in the school, he would naturally call him Brother Ye, but now he and Erhuzi are useless, just a rogue who picks up garbage on the side of the road, how dare he call Brother Ye.

Zhao Dabao's words made Ye Huang's expression soften again, a person can distinguish the identity gap between you and me in different situations on different occasions, and it is very commendable to call out different names, especially a person as poor as the two people in front of him.

"You were fired, and you kept picking up trash?"

Glancing at the woven bag that was almost full, Ye Huang asked.

"No, I started serving the plates, but the two of us were too stumbling, and they resigned after a day of trial and gave fifty yuan. There is no way to do it, I can only pick up garbage, as a migrant worker, I and Erhuzi don't understand those things, if you want to go, people don't want it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Dabao had a touch of desolation in his eyes, and the life in front of him had a feeling of being cornered.
