030 Epiphany
Early in the morning of the third day, I appeared in the East Market again, this time I made up my mind, no matter what happened, I would follow the old man home, see where he lived, if he didn't accept me, I would learn from the protagonist in martial arts novels, and I would go to his door every day.
The old man appeared as usual, still dressed in a Tang suit, still holding a folding fan in his hand, this time I was not afraid of him finding out, from the first step he stepped into the market I followed him, I watched him collect money, watched him chat with the stall owner, watched him flirt with those aunts and aunts.
I knew he had known for a long time that I was following him, but he didn't say anything and continued to do his own thing, and I didn't bother him, just followed him silently.
After he went out of the market, he walked to the little square according to the route he had taken yesterday, and this time he played chess with others for a while, and then he swung into the restaurant of yesterday, and of course I did not dare to go in again, and the old lady really scared me, so I found a place to sit down and wait for him.
After more than an hour, the old man came out, I hurriedly followed, he walked a few steps and turned back to see me, so he called me over, I thought things had taken a turn for the better, and I was very happy, but when I ran to him, I was beaten by him.
"Stinky boy, do you know that you caused me to be humiliated by that aunt? You said yesterday that you were going to help me pay for my meal, and then you slipped away with oil on the soles of your feet? ”
"The teacher is really sorry, I didn't know that she was going to charge so much, I'm really sorry."
The old man shook his hand.
"Hmph, if you can't do it, you can easily boast about Haikou? You've lost your credibility with me, so let's go. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, and I hurriedly blocked in front of him.
"Teacher, you judge me so badly, because this matter is beyond the normal range, so this can't be considered my fault."
"Hmph, stinky boy is still not convinced? A person who can't even solve the problem of 580 yuan is still noisy all day long and wants to make a lot of money? Dare to say that it's not your fault? If you still have some brains, you should go back and reflect on yourself, instead of pestering me here all day. ”
The old man pushed me aside and left me alone, leaving me standing still.
It took me a long time to react, and I hurriedly chased after him, and the old man was finally going home this time.
It is a garden-style community, the old man lives on the first floor of an eight-story building, and there is a small courtyard around the house for the residents of the first floor, and there is a large iron gate outside the courtyard.
He walked to the door and looked helpless when he saw that I had been following, so he turned his head and glared at me.
"Boy, do you have to ask me to call the police before you leave?"
"Teacher, I've made up my mind, even if you call the police, I'll just avoid it temporarily, and I will follow you every day in the future until you are willing to teach me."
"Hmph, shameless guy, do you know that people like you used to have more than a dozen people come to me every day, and they are different from you, those people are more self-aware than you, and they kneel on the ground first without saying a word when they see me, and what about you? You've been keeping an equal attitude with me for a few days, do you look like a person who wants to learn from a teacher? ”
I was stunned after listening, and immediately reacted after a second, and knelt directly on the ground with a 'plop', anyway, I used to kneel when I was bullied in school, but then my self-esteem became stronger and felt a little awkward, and I quickly knelt down as soon as he said.
"It's too late now, boy, let me tell you, in this world, only the strong are qualified to live with their waists up, and all the weak people must bow their heads, bend down, and land on their knees when necessary, those who live with their waists are destined to be weak forever, they want to look at the sky before they learn to kiss the earth, so the sky will not pay attention to them."
Seeing that I was dumbfounded and did not speak, the old man continued.
"And you, your self-esteem is too strong, so you are destined to be a weakling, you are not suitable for this industry, go back and find a job and be down-to-earth is your life."
After the old man finished speaking, he took out the key, opened the door, and walked in, leaving me standing there for a long time.
I was deeply touched by his words, but after thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.
In the past, Brother Hai taught me that a manly husband must stand up to the sky and the earth, a man has gold under his knees, and he must live a frank and unrestrained life.
But now, the old man said that I had to learn to bow my head and bend down, and to get to my knees on the ground, and even to kiss the earth.
I don't know who is right and who is wrong in what the two of them said, and I don't know who I should listen to and who I shouldn't listen to.
In the evening, I returned to my residence, and was ridiculed by Lin Feng again, I was very depressed, I thought about the old man's words for a day, but I still couldn't figure it out, so I asked Lin Feng.
"How much does it take to buy your self-esteem?"
"What?"
"How much does it take for you to let go of your self-esteem?"
"I didn't get it."
"In that case, I'll give you 10,000 yuan now for you to eat a mouthful, will you do it?"
"Grass, you're not sick, are you? Apprentice to the teacher for a few days to worship the head of the stupid? ”
He didn't answer directly, but he definitely wouldn't do it when he looked like that, because how could this guy do something that even I wouldn't do.
If according to the old man's words, does it mean that Lin Feng is destined to be a weakling, it doesn't seem to be, that guy is very smart and capable, and he will definitely be able to get ahead in the future.
I'm going crazy, it sounds like it makes sense, but it sounds like nonsense.
I thought about it for the first time in the middle of the night, but for a moment I seemed to understand something as if I saw a light in the night.
I'm not smart, I don't have any strengths, I don't know how to manage life, and I can't handle interpersonal relationships, so I can only be regarded as a weakling, and I have to listen to the old man and put down my self-esteem to get everything.
And Lin Feng is different, he is smart and capable, he can think and think of ideas and is willing to do it, he can't be regarded as a weak person, so he has to listen to Brother Hai's words and use his own skills to fight a way.
Different people need different paths, although Lin Feng and I are brothers, we are still fundamentally different, so our mentality should also be different, and the path to be taken is also different.
"Yes, that's it, it must be so." Blurry, I muttered before I fell asleep.
I finally made up my mind that no matter how difficult it was, I had to worship the old man as my teacher.
