I finally found my place, and from that day on, I followed the footsteps of the sanitation workers on the road every day to the old man's community, knelt outside his big iron gate and waited for him to come out.

In the first day or two, some people passing by in the morning exercise, they would stare at me curiously, and I would be very embarrassed to be looked at by them when I was thin-skinned at first, and then I would comfort myself in my heart.

'Just look at it, Lao Tzu is born to make people watch, you can see it how you want. ’

After a few days, those people were no longer surprised, and directly treated me as a piece of transparent glass, so I didn't care anymore, and I felt comfortable kneeling on the cold ground. I even think it's cool sometimes, because if you look at the world from this perspective, you can realize a lot of things, especially when I'm kneeling there and have nothing to do, I will think about it and come up with some life truths.

At half past six in the morning, the old man would go out to do tai chi, so I would get up and follow him out to the lawn until he came home for breakfast after doing tai chi.

At nine o'clock, the old man would carry his satchel to the market to collect money, and I would still follow him, and I would leave when he left, and I would stop when he stopped, and I would go wherever he went, and I would wait at his door when he went home.

After a few days, the stall owners in the East Market gradually got to know me, so I took the initiative to say hello to them.

Every time the old man called them Pork Zhang, Salted Fish and Plum, Kimchi King, and Baked Cake Chen, I would silently write down these titles, although at first because there were too many of these titles, and my brain was not very easy to use, so that those names were messed up in my mind as if they were stirring up a pool of troubled water.

Of course, no matter how stupid I am, I can barely remember a few people, and if I happen to meet someone I remember, I will rush in front of the old man and say hello to them loudly, and if I encounter those who don't remember, I will wait for the old man to speak before I speak.

After a week, almost the entire market owner knew that I was apprenticed.

The old man is annoyed to death here, anyway, he has to count me down every day, a small scold every three days, a big scold every five days, and try all kinds of ways to drive me away, the old man is sometimes so angry that even insulting words come out.

I don't care, he made me give up my self-esteem on my own initiative, and I did it, a person doesn't even have self-esteem, so others can say whatever they like, say whatever they want, anyway, he scolded him, and I ignored it.

The old man finally couldn't stand it anymore, and as soon as he got home that day, he yelled with me that he was going to call the police, but I still didn't say anything, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, so he really called the police.

To be honest, I was still a little nervous, after all, my identity is still not visible, I saw a policeman coming from a distance on a motorcycle with a flashing police light, I was afraid that he would find out, so I hid behind a bush not far away, the police will definitely not waste too much time on these chores, come for a while and leave, so I ran out again to continue my plan.

The old man called the security guard in the community to chase me, at first he chased me away, and then took advantage of the opportunity to drill back, a few days later the security guard couldn't stand it, anyway, he knew that I was apprenticed, and I wouldn't steal or make trouble, so he simply let me go, and then let the old man get angry, and the security guard ignored him.

For the first time, I realized that as long as I was willing to give up my self-esteem, I could really do a lot of things that I couldn't do before.

I also realized that I voluntarily gave up my self-esteem, yet I gained the favor and respect of others.

When the people in the market saw that I persevered and chased the old man every day, they cheered me on, and often persuaded the old man to take me in as a subordinate. There were also the security guards and cleaners in the community, who saw me reporting on time every day, and even offered to provide me with information about the old man's work and rest time.

So, taking advantage of the right time and place, the turning point I was looking forward to finally came.

Early this morning, I came to the gate of the old man's community, and the security guard Brother Niu greeted me when he saw me from afar.

"Dongxun, came to kneel at the gate so early?"

"Hey Brother Niu, good morning, I can't help it, I'm ready to start work when it's time to work."

"You're much more active than me, who actually goes to work."

"The old man gets up early, and I have to be early."

I walked over, and Brother Niu pulled me to my side, lowered his head and whispered in my ear.

"Let me tell you, the old man must have slept late last night, and I went to work at night to find that the lights in his house were on until two or three o'clock."

"Really? Thank you, Brother Niu, I invite you to smoke. ”

Although the information didn't seem to be of much use, I took a box of cigarettes out of my jacket pocket and handed it to him.

"Hehe, thank you, you must come on, I made a bet with others, I bet that you will succeed, you don't want me to lose."

"Definitely, definitely."

I hummed all the way to the old man's gate, the sweeping Sister Hao smiled at me when she saw me from afar, I waved to her, and then knelt outside the big iron gate.

Originally, I had to kneel here for more than an hour before the old man would go out to do tai chi, but today, as soon as my knees touched the ground, the big iron door creaked open, and I was stunned for a moment, and I saw the old man walking out of the door in pajamas.

I thought he was going to scold me again, so I lowered my head as usual and said nothing.

I saw the old man come up to me.

"You, go collect an account for me today."

I looked up at him, a little incredulous to my ears.

The old man continued.

"In Lotus Square, there is a beggar named Xu Sanjiao who has broken his legs, he will beg for money there every day, I will give you a day, and you go and recover the interest he owes me."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the house without waiting for me to speak, I was stunned for a long time, I don't know what he meant, but he asked me to collect interest for him, does it mean that he is willing to teach me after I take it back?

He didn't say any of these details, but no matter what, I had to take back the money owed by this guy named Xu Sanjiao first.

I walked to the gate of the community, and the security guard Brother Niu was surprised to see that I was about to leave.

"What's wrong with Donghoon? Don't kneel at the door today? ”

"Hey Brother Niu, there is something going on today, you don't have to kneel in the future, I'm leaving, bye."

"What? You're no longer apprenticed? Donghoon? Hey, don't go. ”
