Wan Chai, Hong Kong, Chan Kee Tea Restaurant.

The hustle and bustle is flying. The interior of the café is being renovated, and Chen Fugui, the owner, is like a marmaphog, with a towel wrapped around his head and dusty tiles on the wall. Below him, Chen Xiaotang, who had just returned from filming, was also wrapped in a towel on his head, mixing cement with dust.

was so tired, Chen Xiaotang wiped the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, took a breath and said to Chen Fugui: "Dad, why are you so hard?" These decoration work can be done by asking workers to do it. ”

Chen Fugui turned around and said, "It doesn't cost money to invite them to come?" We only have a little bit of money, the new store has not yet opened, and there are all expenses in the future, so it's better to do it yourself! ”

"But have you ever studied decorating before?" Chen Xiaotang couldn't help but ask.

"What's this, when you were young, you didn't have money to buy milk powder, so I secretly went to the decoration team to work in the dark, and learned a lot of decoration skills, like this wall tile, as well as the floor tile, are my specialty!" Chen Fugui said proudly, "Don't look at these rough jobs that look simple, let you do it, you must not do it well!" First of all, it is necessary to select a good floor tile, secondly, to mix the cement evenly, and finally to stick it in the back to be moderately thick----"

Chen Fugui said, and while gesturing, he taught Chen Xiaotang how to stick wall tiles. It may be that the range of movement is too large, and suddenly, he let out an "oops" and held his waist with his hands, as if he was in pain.

Chen Xiaotang hurriedly put down the work in his hand, went over to support him and said, "What's wrong with you, Dad, don't scare me!" ”

"Nothing...... Flashing waist...... Help me over there and sit down!" Chen Fugui pointed to the chair next to him.

Chen Xiaotang cautiously helped him over, Chen Fugui beat his waist and said: "Now that I'm old, I'm useless, I didn't expect to do it for a while and flash my waist, I thought back then, when I was working in the decoration team, I didn't get tired after eight hours of work in one breath!" ”

"How is it possible, you are not an iron body, how can you not be tired?"

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Fugui's mouth, "Maybe you don't believe it, when I first went in, I was very tired, I had a sore back every day, and my whole body was paralyzed, and I almost wanted to pick a pick...... But as soon as I got home, I saw your pink appearance, crying with your mouth open, and the pitiful appearance of not having milk powder to drink, I felt sad for a while, and then my whole body was like being charged, full of energy! ”

Listening to Chen Fugui tell about the past, Chen Xiaotang seemed to have a scene in front of him: a tired man who went home caressed his son's chubby little face with his rough big hands, and all the tiredness and hard work were left ......behind.

Sad, Chen Xiaotang took off the towel on his head, helped Chen Fugui wipe the sweat stains on his forehead, and said: "Now that I have grown up, it is my turn to raise you, so you just sit here and don't move, let me do these jobs!" After saying this, Chen Xiaotang walked over, took over the work in Chen Fugui's hand just now, and began to paste the wall tiles very carefully.

As Chen Fugui just said, these rough jobs look simple, but they are very difficult to do, especially the wall tiles are not firm and easy to slide, so they must be removed and re-stained.

In addition, due to squatting on the ground for a long time, after only working for about ten minutes, Chen Xiaotang already felt that his waist was sore.

I am a young man, so you can imagine how hard my father Chen Fugui was before, after all, he is almost fifty years old!

The most hard-working people in this world are their parents!

Parents never owe anything to their children, and you are born, first the mother suffers in the delivery room, and then the father is tired in life!

Gray their hair, bend their waists, consume their youth, vaporize their lives!

They owe nothing to us!

We owe them our lives!

Seeing that his son was very obedient and working hard to paste floor tiles on his behalf, Chen Fugui rubbed his waist while pointing out what was right and wrong for Chen Xiaotang. Although he feels sorry for his son, he feels that a man should be a little harder and tired, and his own boy is not a pampered life.

The father and son are in full swing, but Li Shuzhen, as a mother, feels sorry for her son's body, and inevitably mutters that Chen Fugui doesn't know how to be considerate when delivering tea, seeing that his son is about to become a star, he still calls him like this. In this regard, Chen Fugui changed his attitude of being strict with his wife and said: "What do you know about an old lady? ”

Then Li Shuzhen didn't dare to reply, which made Chen Xiaotang very strange, when did my mother be afraid of my father? So when his mother handed him tea, he asked the reason, Li Shuzhen said, don't you think your father is the most majestic and charming with a male surname when he is working? !

Chen Xiaotang, stunned!

Looking at his father, who scratched his crotch from time to time, Chen Xiaotang really found it difficult to associate him with the word "majesty".

Fortunately, at this time, someone shouted, "Ah Tang! His reverie was interrupted.

I saw Stephen Chow, Tony Leung and Andy Lau walking in together at the door.

As soon as Stephen Chow saw him, he shouted: "Look at it, Ah Tang, I brought the other two volunteers too, how about it, it's enough friends!" ”

Chen Xiaotang laughed: "It's really yours, Andy, Wei Zai, how were you deceived by him?" ”

Andy Lau shrugged and said, "This guy said that you want to invite us to drink milk tea, and you only know that you have to be a coolie when you come!" ”

"Yes, Ah Xing has always been a ghost, I have been deceived by him I don't know how many times!" Tony Leung sighed helplessly.

Chen Xiaotang said: "I didn't want to trouble you, but since I'm here, let's work hard!" ”

"Needless to say, we are good brothers and the best partners! I can't watch you suffer alone! Andy Lau took off his coat as he spoke, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "Say, what should we do?" ”

Chen Xiaotang said: "You are responsible for soaking the tiles in water and handing them to me, Wei Zai, you will run errands, go buy some sandpaper first, and then you will use it later!" ”

"What about me, what am I doing?" Stephen Chow said urgently.

"You? You can help me live cement! ”

"Huh? ~This is a technical job! ”

"Of course, those who are capable work harder, you are the most capable of us!" Chen Xiaotang quipped.

Seeing that Andy Lau, Tony Leung and Stephen Chow were going to work, Chen Fugui was anxious and said, "How can this be done?!" You're all celebrities, how can you do such menial work? No, absolutely not! As he spoke, he got up from his chair to stop him.

Andy Lau took a step ahead of him and pressed him to the chair, and said: "Uncle Gui, a few of us are friends of Ah Tang, good friends have to help each other, don't talk about these rough jobs, even if it is hard and tiring, we are willing!" So don't worry about it, sit down and rest first! ”

"Yes, uncle, if you don't let us help, you just look down on us, then we will be unhappy!" Stephen Chow said with a hippie smile.

Chen Fugui was about to open his mouth, but his wife Li Shuzhen said: "Okay, old thing, it's a good idea for the children to help, so don't worry about it!" Or listen to them, sit down and rest! The matter here will be handed over to Ah Tang and them to deal with! ”

Chen Fugui said abruptly: "But the problem is---- I'm not used to sitting like this and not working?!" ”

"If that's the case, you can go upstairs with me to choose food, as soon as the restaurant opens, I don't know how tiring it is!" Li Shuzhen said, helped Chen Fugui up, and said to Andy Lau and them: "Thank you for your hard work, when the restaurant opens, sister-in-law Zhen, I will invite you to a big meal!" ”

"Thank you, Sister-in-law! Slow down! Andy Lau and the others watched Sister-in-law Zhen help Uncle Gui upstairs, and then turned back to Chen Xiaotang and said, "Remember, Ah Tang, you owe us a favor!" ”

Chen Xiaotang smiled and gestured with his hand to make an "ok" gesture.

When I wrote this article, I inadvertently thought of my father, who also worked hard all his life without regrets, maybe parents all over the world are like this, but when we are older, we will understand their goodness.
