[7] The old man of white food
Xinghua saw that the child who was led by an adult looked directly at the big bone side of her family, and she had something to say in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it, she was in a hurry, and she looked at her father, who was busy and didn't notice her.
After brewing in her heart for a long time, Xinghua mustered up the courage to speak: "Brother, do you want to come and eat my family's big bone noodles." ”
The voice was small and afraid, and she was afraid that the adults would reproach her.
When Xinghua said this, the little boy opposite was more timid than her, pulling the adult's hand, with tears rolling in his eyes.
"Middle school, no prospects, learn from other female dolls, younger than you. After the woman who led the child blamed her own child, she put on a smiling face and said to Xinghua: "Little girl, you are really good at talking, bring us a bowl of noodles." ”
Xinghua, who was still scared in her heart, heard this, as if she had received great encouragement, put a smile on her face, and shouted to her father: "Daddy, give this brother a bowl of big bone noodles." ”
"Okay!" Wu Daguang responded, looking at everything in his eyes, he deliberately ignored the mother and son, and Xinghua came by herself, she was too timid and needed to exercise.
With a success, Xinghua continued to say to the mother and son: "Auntie, the first bowl of noodle soup is eight cents, and the second bowl is only four cents, do you want another bowl?"
"Little girl, you are really good at business, my son can't finish a bowl of noodles, and I will eat the rest. The woman praised Xinghuadao, and it happened that Wu Daguang sent noodles to the table, and couldn't bear to learn from it: "Big brother, how did you teach your child, he was so good at doing business at such a young age, how old is he this year." ”
"How can you teach, the family is poor, and the poor child is in charge of the house early, and he is four years old. Wu Daguang said politely.
At the end of the morning, Xinghua did attract a lot of people to stop and receive a lot of encouragement, for Xinghua, since her father woke up from illness, she seemed to go from hell to heaven.
At noon, the flow of people receded, and the people who set up the stalls closed their stalls, and there was the last old man on Wu Daguang's side.
The old man was seventy or eighty years old, wearing a tunic suit, shiny leather shoes, and gold-rimmed glasses.
The old man looked at Wu Daguang crampedly, not knowing how to speak.
"I didn't bring any money, let's make up for it next time. Wu Daguang said as he cleaned up the stall, as if he didn't care at all.
"I'm really sorry, I'm in a hurry to come out today, I'm in a hurry, you see......"
"It's okay, everyone has a forgetfulness, it's just a bowl of noodles. Wu Daguang said understandingly, he looked at the old man's dress and tone of speech, unlike people who couldn't afford to pay for face, there was an 80% chance that he didn't bring it, and it can't be ruled out that he wore it deliberately for food, because he had done it himself in his previous life.
"That's not good, there must be rules to be a man. The old man searched for valuable things on his body, searched up and down, took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to Wu Daguang: "I will use the watch as collateral." ”
Wu Daguang saw that the old man was still quite shaft, but he didn't answer: "Uncle, your watch is more valuable than my face I don't know how many times, I don't dare to take it, in case I don't leave in my hand, I am blind with a good watch, next time I come to the market, you can pay me back the face money at that time." ”
"Alright, I'll come to you next time. ”
After the old man finished speaking, he walked away quickly.
Seeing that the old man was gone, the stall owner on the opposite side couldn't help but ask: "Daguang, you also let him go after eating white food, give you a watch, you don't want it, you are stupid!"
"Eat white food, don't let him go, I still take him to the police for a bowl of noodles? Wu Daguang put the table, chair and bench where the old man was sitting on the cart and fixed it with a rope.
"With this time, when people go back and say, more people will eat white food when they come back, and you won't lose a lot of money. ”
"Again and again, the character of the broken character cannot be exchanged for any amount of money. ”
The ground stall owner shook his head, still thinking that Wu Daguang was stupid.
Wu Daguang said goodbye to the remaining acquaintances and took the apricot blossoms home.
After returning home, Wu Daguang continued to study the stove in the middle of the research house, and the open-air stove was not very good, so he found wood to build a temporary small shed.
Although there is no TV and the Internet, Wu Daguang's life is fulfilling, he is tired like a dog every day, and he has to go to the market the next day, although he is tired, he is not sick.
In the blink of an eye, he went to the market every day, and Wu Daguang saved eighty yuan.
Counting the accounts every day, I have long forgotten about the old man eating white food, and continues his life in the market, because of his good popularity, he is familiar with most of the stall owners, and he has become a good person in the eyes of everyone, often helping to load and unload goods, and pull his connections.
On this day, Wu Daguang came to the market early, because it was too early, there were still very few people around the stalls, and he saw an old man standing next to Sister Zhang from a distance, talking and laughing.
Take a closer look, the old man who ate white food last time.
I didn't expect people to take this matter to heart, and they came here so early.
When the old man saw Wu Daguang, he took the initiative to hand over eight cents: "Young man, I'm really embarrassed last time." ”
Wu Daguang took eight cents and said with a smile: "You old man, in order to pay back a bowl of noodles, you got up early in the morning." ”
"That's not good, you have to be honest. The old man took out another four cents and handed it to Wu Daguang: "The second bowl is half price." ”
"The old man is quite good at settling accounts, and people buy two bowls at half price. Sister Zhang reminded.
Wu Daguang took the old man's four cents: "Just for the character of the old man, it will be half price when it opens today." But you'll have to wait, I haven't lit a fire yet. ”
The old man helped to set up the tables, chairs and benches, Wu Daguang boiled the broth, and ordered a few bowls of noodles together, the first bowl was mainly for guests, and the others were distributed to the surrounding stall owners according to the old rules.
As the sun fully rose, the bazaar was lively and crowded, and Wu Daguang's business was busy.
Maybe it's because Wu Daguang is sincere to people, maybe it's because the old man has nothing to do, and he actually helped Wu Daguang to greet the business, which really made the stall owner on the other side drop his jaw, and last time he said that Wu Daguang was stupid, and let people eat white food and take advantage of it, now it seems that Wu Daguang is very fine.
After walking a few times, it was fake not to meet an acquaintance, and when Wu Daguang was busy, the aunt in the village who had taken the apricot blossom clothes came to the market and recognized Wu Daguang.
"Isn't this Wu Daguang from our village, set up a stall, are you the material?"
When Xinghua saw it, she immediately shrank behind Wu Daguang in fright.
"Village girl, you are also here to catch the market, do you want to taste the noodles I made. Wu Daguang still tried his best to say hello.
"The noodles you made, who knows what's in them, last time my daughter ate something like a rat's tail in your soup, and went home and vomited for a whole day. "Women begin to make things up, and there are always some acquaintances in the world who can't see others as having a good time.
