1. Rebirth
At the end of May, City A was full of rain, sometimes there was no daylight for several days, and the strange thing was that every noon, the rain would fall even more, and the potholes on the not very flat path in front of the door were full of water, and the trouser legs of the shoes were all dripping with mud when I stepped on it.
It was originally an embarrassing weather between the early summer and late spring, hot and hot not bright, a rain is more like a torrent, the rain curtain separates a small space, the gloomy weather shines in through the windows in all directions, and the floor is damp, no one in such an environment will not feel good.
Willingly, he rolled up the blanket he bought a few days ago, put it behind the door, looked at the water stains on the ground piece by piece, sighed, and resigned himself to finding a mop to mop the floor.
When he woke up, it was already half past three, his whole body was sore, he was covered in sweat, he forgot what he had dreamed, and when he woke up, he only felt groggy in his head.
I pushed the cart out the door, put on a transparent raincoat, mixed flour and eggs and other ingredients, and was ready to go out to set up a stall.
The rain was a little heavier, and the slippers that he was willing to wear on his feet rose freely in the heavy rain, pulled up his trouser legs a few times, picked up the pond and stepped on, and the rain splashed on his exposed skin, which was very cool.
The place where he often sets up his stall is in a snack street called Jintang, and there is a university town and a high school nearby, and there is a lot of traffic. In addition to the fixed storefronts, the owners of the mobile food stalls tacitly keep their business hours open from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and then from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., all day on weekends.
Willing to set up a pancake stall has been placed for almost three years, the first year has no experience to wander around, the entrance of various colleges and universities, often escaped by the wolf bèi of the city management, and then accidentally found Jintang Snack Street, so he "settled" here, stayed for almost two years, and the neighbors around him are mixed well, and there is a fixed source of customers.
There are many young people who come out to set up food stalls and start their own businesses, but they are willing to have a green little face that is still more prominent in the curling fumes, and they are often teased by bold female students when doing business, so that they call them sisters, and they are willing to purse their mouths every time without speaking, and then sprinkle more chili powder while they are not paying attention.
There was a tear mole in the corner of his eye, and his slightly pale face suddenly became much more exquisite. He is of medium height, tall because he is thin, and his legs are straight and thin when he often rolls up his trousers, and he still has strength, and his face is childish, and he usually looks no different from a high school student.
Counting his age, it is indeed the age when he is still in school. I've been setting up a pancake stand for the third year, and I just passed my eighteenth birthday a few days ago.
Everyone who has a food stall on that street in Jintang knows that he is an orphan.
When I first came to Jintang, the big guy still wondered, where did the boy come from, and there was a decent pancake stall to do business, didn't his parents care? Later, when I was willing to chat with Grandma Liu, who sold stinky tofu next door, I said that they knew that Le Yi was an orphan who had been abandoned since he was a child, and the kind people sent him to the orphanage, but the orphanage was too small, and there were few children, and few children could be adopted.
The happy name was also given by the dean's mother-in-law, saying that his life was hard, and he wanted to change his luck by changing his name, hoping that he would be tireless and have a smooth life.
Later, the mother-in-law of the dean died, the orphanage was closed, and I couldn't go to school, so I decided to go out to work and earn money by myself.
At the beginning, a 15-year-old boy, the shoulder can not resist the hand can not be lifted, the construction site stayed for a few days and was kicked out, no education even the supermarket salesman did not accept him, and then followed a pancake old man to learn a few tricks to save some money and push the cart out to sell pancakes, just selling pancakes for a while did not dare to stay in a place for a while, I was afraid that people would eat disgusting and come back to beat him, and then after a long time, the craft was practiced, and it became the signature snack here in Jintang.
It rained a lot in the afternoon, and many snack stalls didn't come out, and there was no one when they were happy, only Grandma Liu next door had already prepared the pots and stoves, and Grandma Liu saw that she was happy to come, and helped him put everything away, and said distressedly, "Xiaole, the rain is so heavy, don't come out, it's not bad for such a day." β
He was willing to smile with Grandma Liu while mixing flour and said, "Then if I don't come, who are you talking to?" β
Grandma Liu smiled, "Haha, you kid." β
"Grandma, did you bring dinner, didn't you take me to make you a cake," said with a smile, "Add eggs and grilled sausages, don't put spicy." β
Times Group Building.
Lin Qinghang had just returned to the office from a meeting, and suddenly received a call from Chen Leyi, he frowned, Chen Leyi sent WeChat messages directly because of physical defects, and rarely called him.
A bad premonition surged in his heart, and he immediately answered the phone, "Leyi? β
There was no speech for a long time, Lin Qinghang called his name a few more times, and after a long time, he heard the man's soft voice, and said softly, "Liar, me." β
Lin Qinghang's heart was a little more uneasy, and he hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" β
"No, joy, joy, me." Chen Leyi paused word by word, and his tone was affirmative.
Lin Qinghang was stunned, and Chen Leyi had already hung up the phone.
Although it was only a few words, Lin Qinghang had already roughly guessed something, he immediately called Xiao Luo, and after a while, Xiao Luo finally answered the phone, his voice was very lazy, as if he had just woken up, "What are you doing?" Miss me? β
"Did you sue SΓΉ Leyi?" Lin Qinghang got straight to the point and asked bluntly.
"Ah, I forgot to tell you that I was going to send you a photo of the two of us, but I accidentally sent it to Leyi by mistake." Xiao Luo's voice was still lazy, Lin Qinghang closed his eyes, "Xiao Luo, you did it on purpose, right?" β
"I said it was accidental." Xiao Luo became impatient, "Is there anything else, it's okay." β
I hung up the phone without saying anything.
Lin Qinghang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the gloomy sky in the distance, the city was shrouded in smoke and rain, and the sense of uneasiness in his heart became even stronger.
He looked at his watch, there was a meeting later, and he called the secretary, "Postpone the meeting until tomorrow." β
The business of the snack street on a rainy day is still booming, Leyi can't remember how many pancakes he made today, there are still a lot of people in line, and Grandma Liu next door is already cleaning up the stall and preparing to leave, Leyi ponders in her heart, and finishes going home after the last bucket of flour is pasted, and her legs are sore after standing for three or four hours in a row.
The last spoonful of flour is placed on the board, until the flour has turned into a thin layer of crust, the corners have turned golden brown, the egg loin is added, sprinkled with green onions, garlic and pepper, and the pancakes are folded several times with a triangular knife, and the pancakes are packed and handed to the guests. Then show the empty flour bucket to the unwilling people in line, "It's gone!" ~β
The people complained and slowly dispersed.
Willing to stretch a big lazy waist, it's finally over.
The rain turned lighter, and his happy mood was much better, he pushed the cart back, and when he just closed the stall, he roughly counted the money he earned today, and the amount was enough to be happy for a while.
Every time I tell someone about my life experience, the other party will sigh, and I am happy to feel that people like them, who came to the world naked, were born to lose, and they wanted to win anything with their bare hands, it was all wishful thinking, but he still had a little hope in his heart.
He has had a great wish since he was a child, that is, he can rent a two-bedroom house, it doesn't need to be big, it's clean, raise a fat pet cat, and every day when he goes home to have a cat at home waiting for him to think about it is very happy, and then wait until he has leisure and money to go to night school to read more books to make up for the regret of dropping out of school that year.
Although he is a little tired of selling pancakes, he actually makes a lot of money, and he has saved a lot of money in the past two years, and he has an estimated amount in his heart, and the money he has saved plus today's sum is just enough to reach.
Hahaha, I didn't expect that my wish would come true so soon~ Selling pancakes is really a wise move!
A sports car sped past him.
Willing to play a little abacus, the calf walked fast, and today is also lucky, several intersections are green lights, unimpeded. Passing by a fast-food restaurant, I was willing to stop.
It's a fast-food restaurant that often advertises on TV.,Leyi, although I rarely watch TV, I often see advertisements for this product.,The store is also in Jintang.,He doesn't know how it tastes.,The price is scared.,I'm willing to don't even dare to go in and see.γ
With the mentality of encouraging and encouraging yourself, you are willing to be ready to buy something to eat to treat yourself. He pushed the cart into an inconspicuous alley, and there was nothing to steal, but he was always at ease. I wiped my hand on my pants and entered the door of the fast-food restaurant.
After buying it, I regretted it when I was happy to come out, looking at the things that were similar to those of KFC, how did the price double! He picked the cheapest one and bought it, but it still hurt him.
Forget it, it's a rare time! Be willing to comfort yourself in your heart.
He wanted to teach the man a few words, but found that the boy walked straight over, turned around and prepared to cross the road, and his eyes widened willingly, the signal light flashed so big red, can't this man see it?
The boy walked to the middle of the road, and the sound of cars bombarded his ears, but he continued as if he couldn't hear it.
Willing to rush forward without thinking about it to pull the boy away, but it was too late, he only felt a huge impact hit his body, and the instant pain penetrated his internal organs, and a hot current flowed in his body, shouting to find an exit, his brain could no longer think, but he still thought about his small cart parked in the corner.
He doesn't want to die!
