When the old man Wang came home with a limp, Dumb was already cooking and waiting there. The grandfather and grandson chatted while eating, and naturally they were very happy.

The next day, Dumb rode a tricycle and went out to collect rubbish and pick up garbage. If the weather is getting cooler, there are fewer and fewer drink bottles in the garbage cans on the street, and the street cleaners will pick up the drink bottles, but this garbage picking business is not good. After half a day, Dumb picked up more than 100 drink bottles and a stack of old cardboard boxes.

He was depressed, he was now going to hurry up to earn more money, his grandfather was also old, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he naturally couldn't let him work so hard in the future, but he now had a salary of about 1,000 yuan, and the two of them were a little reluctant to live, and they didn't know how long they could work as a temporary worker in this township.

Dumb opened the garbage bin, picked up two JDB drink cans, and put them on the garbage truck. A few passers-by gave them disdainful glances.

[I eat by my own labor, and I am happy to see what they think.] Although I comfort myself so much in my heart, I am still a little uncomfortable to be despised by others. He remembered again: Secretary Wen and Mu Tian came to his house yesterday, and I don't know if Mu Tian will look down on him because of the dilapidation in his home, and whether he will be good with him in the future? He didn't know, and he didn't dare to think about it.

Dumb wiped his sweat and continued to walk down the street, more than 20 years of garbage picking career, so that he is very familiar with the streets and alleys of Beilu city and suburbs, where there are many beverage bottles and waste packaging shells, where the cleaners are fierce and do not let others pick up, he basically knows.

Beilu Bus Station is a very densely populated place, and there are large supermarkets such as Lianhua next to it, and beverage bottles and waste products are the most. Dumb decided to try his luck while picking up and heading towards the bus station.

He arrived at the Lianhua supermarket at the station. He was digging out a few Coke bottles from a garbage can, when suddenly, he was hit in the back by a drink can, and the unfinished drink splashed on his clothes, faintly chilling.

"Damn, who?" Dumb felt a fire in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head, but the bottle was thrown from a car parked on the side of the road. The driver of the car was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, and when the young man saw Dumb turn his head, he said contemptuously and playfully: "What happened to Lao Tzu who threw it?" ”

Dumb suppressed his anger, thinking that he might not mean it, so he didn't say anything to fight back, so he had to give him a dissatisfied look.

"Stinky boy, who are you glaring at?" The young man in the car scolded loudly.

"You threw the bottle at me, you know?" Dumb stood up and looked at him.

"What if I just threw it at you? Who told you to block the trash can? After saying that, the man pointed his finger at Dumb again;" A beggar who picks up garbage is still rotting here, do you want to find a fight? ”

Dumb said angrily: "Is it reasonable to throw a drink can at me?" If you have money, you can be arrogant and unreasonable. ”

That person was proud of his identity, and he had taken a person who picked up garbage in his eyes. Hearing Dumb's words, he rushed out of the car, ready to teach this unknown bird a lesson.

"Boy, do you dare to be hard-mouthed? You can give me a hard look again......" He pointed at Dumb and scolded as he slapped him.

Dumb didn't think about it, he took the drink bottle and threw it at the other party, and then quickly grabbed the opponent's right hand with his left hand, and the right hand was a fist against his chin, and he fell to the ground in an instant

The man got up from the ground and shouted, "Good boy, you dare to hit me?" You don't want to live anymore? But he didn't dare to rush up again, just took out his mobile phone, as if he was going to move the rescuers.

Dumb looked at him calmly: "If you want to call someone, you call it, I'll wait." But he made up his mind in his heart: if he really called a group of people, he couldn't beat them by himself, and he just ran away, would he really carry them hard?

Just when the two were at a stalemate with each other. A familiar voice sounded,

"What's wrong? You guys, what's wrong with you? The man was Mu Tian, and she asked strangely, "Dumb, Zhou Jie." What are you doing here? ”

The three were shocked at the same time, in disbelief.

Seeing that Mu Tian knew the bad guy, Dumb had to hold his mouth and take a few steps back. The young man glanced at Dumb hatefully, but it was not good to attack in front of Mu Tian. hurriedly smiled and said, "Mu Tian, do you know each other?" ”

Mu Tian nodded, glanced at Dumb, turned to the man named Zhou Jie and said, "This is my colleague." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Jie was a little incredible, and a big question flashed in his heart: How could Mu Tian's colleague pick up garbage here?

However, he quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Since it is your colleague, everyone knows each other, and it is just a trivial matter, so forget it, I will not pursue it anymore." Then he turned to Dumb again, with a magnanimous look: "Forget it, forget it this time, I won't pursue you." ”

"Dumb, what are you doing again? I know how to mess around, I don't do serious things, and I know how to mess around all day long. Mu Tian listened to Zhou Jie's words, and just now he saw Dumb throwing Zhou Jie far to the ground, and began to blame Dumb.

"Hey, forget it, Mu Tian, let's go, let's get in the car." After Zhou Jie finished speaking, he helped her open the door of the passenger seat, Mu Tian hesitated a little and got into his car.

The car drove away, and Mu Tian followed him like this. Dumb's heart ached slightly: Maybe in Mu Tian's heart, he can't compare to the bad guy named Zhou Jie after all.

Dumb turned around, picked up the drink bottle that had fallen on the ground, put it on his tricycle, and rode the three to the next trash can.

Although Dumb felt that Mu Tian and that Zhou Jie had an unusual relationship, he didn't know: she appeared here today, Zhou Jie had made an appointment with her in advance, and her family lived in the community behind Lianhua Supermarket, so she asked Zhou Jie to wait for her at the door of the supermarket, but where did she think that Zhou Jie actually started a fight with Dumb.

In the car, Zhou Jie spoke badly about Dumb: how Dumb spilled the water in the drink bottle on his car, how he scolded people, and how he pulled his clothes. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and finally had to teach Dumb a lesson.

Comrade Zhou Jie's civilized, polite, high-quality, and wise and powerful strength were vividly described by himself.

In contrast, Comrade Dumb's hooligans, scoundrels, low quality, and external strength and middle cadres are set off vividly and outrageously.

Mu Tian frowned from time to time, but did not speak. All along, she also felt that Dumb was a scoundrel who was uneducated and impolite. What Zhou Jie said should be true.

Then she denied her thoughts: Dumb is a bit of a scoundrel, but it shouldn't be so completely unreasonable, right? But Zhou Jie, the squadron leader of the Law Enforcement Brigade of the Urban Management Bureau, should not be lying.

Mu Tian glanced at Zhou Jie who was driving next to him again: polite, gentle and confident, and he is very good at work and family, and he chases himself diligently, as if his parents also like him.

She unconsciously compared Zhou Jie and Dumb in her heart, and shook her head for a while.
