Chapter 3 [The Beggar]
Su Le is an optimistic person, even if his mother loses all her belongings, even if her mother goes out to hide her debts and says goodbye, even if her mother leaves in a hurry and doesn't even have time to leave him a penny, Su Le's love is still not affected too much, according to what my mother said in the past, why are you so heartless? I really don't know if I gave birth to it?
Su Le thinks that whether it is happiness or trouble, he finds it by himself, life must go on, and the living cannot be suffocated by urine, he is already seventeen years old, and it is time to be duli, and he will not stand on his own at the age of eighteen abroad? I was only a year earlier, not to mention the endless road, at least I still have a place to live in these three days. Alas, sighing and frowning with a sad face is purely a waste of life, you have to laugh every day when you live, Su Le thought very openly, this kid definitely belongs to the kind of master who can be covered when the sky falls, these years, the more you have, the more afraid you are of losing, I have nothing anyway, what is there to fear? Not only him, but many young people who have nothing have the same idea.
Xiao Dongfeng's boss is Su Meihong, Xiao Er is Su Meihong, and the chef is also Su Meihong.
He suddenly realized that Xin Yuejiang would come to collect the house in three days, and wouldn't he become the real boss of Xiaodongfeng in these three days?
There was no money at home, and there was no money in the store, so Su Le rummaged through every corner of Xiaodongfeng, and finally only found two steel hammers for one dollar. Mom did a little unkind in this matter, and when she left, she even gave away the fifteen yuan pocket money in his wallet.
Fortunately, there are vegetables in the freezer, Su Le quickly thought of a way, the turnover of three days is also an income, in today's society, it is difficult to move an inch without money, so let's get some money to spend first.
Su Le spent the morning tidying up the tattered little Dongfeng, making out four long tables, counting the inventory in the store, and then neatly writing down today's recipes on the small blackboard, and then hanging it out.
For two days, the business was not cold, the total revenue reached five hundred and thirty yuan, this is already a lot of wealth for Su Le, he first charged fifty yuan of phone bills, must ensure that the mobile phone is unblocked, I can't tell when my mother will call back, the next night, Su Le has begun to think about where to go next, think about it, he wants to go to the provincial city of Nanwu to see, he has an uncle in the provincial capital, that is the only relative of his mother in his memory. Maybe his mother will go to him, because there is little contact, Su Le doesn't know his uncle's phone number, but fortunately he has his uncle's home address.
When Su Le was packing up his things, he received a call from his classmates, the call was from the class leader Zhao Guowei, although Su Le's grades were average, he could laugh at Mimi all day long, he was talkative, and he was very popular in the class, and he often played table tennis and football together with Zhao Guowei in the past, and even Su Le's taekwondo of three moves and two styles was learned from Zhao Guowei, but after the third year of high school, Zhao Guowei stayed away from a qiΔ sports activity, concentrated on the college entrance examination, and even alienated himself from Su Le. In the eyes of many parents, Su Le belongs to the kind of person who is too playful and needs to keep his children away. Compared with other people's parents, Su Meihong never asked Su Le too much in learning, she always thought that the dragon was destined to be the wind, and whether the child would have achievements in the future was not something you could barely get, so at this point Su Le is still more grateful to his mother, at least in his childhood and adolescence, Tianxing was able to be preserved and grow up healthily.
Su Le's mobile phone is still the old Nokia 3210, speaking of this mobile phone is still eliminated after his mother changed to N70, although it looks bad, it is better than CΔo, and it has fallen countless times, including the time when I accidentally fell into the toilet, and the water was dried, and the hair dryer was used correctly.
Zhao Guowei called to ask him to attend the class reunion in the evening, Su Le politely declined, and those high-spirited, full of longing for a better college life compared with the students, Su Le's goal is undoubtedly much more realistic, seize the last opportunity, do a good job in the last day of business, and strive to make more money, which is closely related to his next life, a little more money, the more comfortable life can be.
Xiaodongfeng is just a small restaurant, usually most of them are fast food and wine, etc., and the customers are ordinary classes of society. On the last night, the business was particularly hot, and even the private rooms were full, and a total of more than 600 were sold, which was more than the combined turnover of the previous two days.
After sending off the last group of guests that night, looking at Xiao Dongfeng's signboard, Su Le suddenly had an inseparable sense of nostalgia in his heart, and he took a few steps back, so that he could see the whole picture of Xiao Dongfeng. After tonight, this place will no longer belong to him, the little east wind under the sunset looks very dilapidated, but no matter how dilapidated this place is, after all, it is his home, here has left too many of his childhood memories, recording the laughter of him and his mother and carrying their tears, without the little east wind there would be no growth chΓ©ngrΓ©n. Su Le retreated to the opposite side of the road, looking at Xiao Dongfeng's somewhat broken light box, his ears seemed to hear his mother's spicy and arrogant laughter again, and for some reason, his eyes were a little moist.
There was a sound of tuk tuk in the distance, an old man on crutches holding a white sè enamel tea jar in his hand, carrying a gray and black sè travel bag, which was filled with patches, it should be said that this old man was dressed quite cleanly, but his outfit made people know his profession at a glance, this is a beggar.
Since it is to open a restaurant, it is indispensable to deal with beggars, Su Le usually sees a lot of beggars, but this old beggar is the first time he has seen it.
The old beggar came to Xiao Dongfeng's door and looked up at the door above, his eyes stayed on Xiao Dongfeng's three words for a while, and murmured: "It's here!" β
Su Le hurriedly walked over: "Old man, who are you looking for?" β
The old beggar glared at him with some dissatisfaction, and the white beard on his chin pouted: "You don't know how to look if you have eyes, am I dressed like this, like looking for someone?" What do I do? What do I do? β
Su Le smiled: "Old man, if I'm not mistaken, you always ask for food." This outfit is clearly a standard beggar's professional attire, Su Le can certainly see it, but this professional outfit and equipment are too clean, lacking the sloppy temperament common to beggars.
The old beggar paused with the crutch in his hand on the ground: "The child can be taught, see that this is not called a dog stick." He raised the big teapot in his hand again: "This is called a cornucopia!" β
Su Le hurriedly took out two steel hammers and threw them into his big teapot, but Su Le didn't expect that such a move would actually anger the old beggar.
The old beggar glared at Su Le angrily and said, "Boy, what do you mean?" β
Su Le said: "It's not interesting, don't you always do this?" That's too little! Su Le took out his coat pocket, picked out another five yuan and threw it into the tea jar, Su Le really had no malicious intent.
The old beggar was so angry that his white beard pouted.
Su Le said: "Old man, I'll be honest with you, I'm not rich. He said in his heart, how did he meet an insatiable master tonight, in today's society, beggars are also picky, and if they give less, they will throw face at others. People's hearts are too impetuous, the one who owes money is the uncle, and the one who asks for the money is the master. Su Le suddenly felt that her mother was very defeated, she owed so many gambling debts to others, it stands to reason that she should be a bullish and coaxing uncle-level person, how can everyone shout and flee everywhere like a rat crossing the street? In the final analysis, you still owe less, if you really owe hundreds of billions, even the manager of the bank credit department has to treat you like a father.
The old beggar's expression was very angry, and he looked as if he was going to buckle the big teapot on Su Le's head at any time: "Do I seem to be asking for money?" I'm asking for food, do you know who wants food? I've never been insulted like this in most of my life, what are you doing? Take seven dollars to chill me! I'm so old, let you be such an insult to a hairy boy! Do you know how to respect the old and love the young? Do you have the least love? β
Su Le really couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't expect to meet a strange old man so late, he didn't recruit him, he didn't provoke him, and gave him seven yuan, but he didn't expect to attract a lot of money: "Old man, don't be angry, if you don't dislike it, I'll go and clean up some leftovers for you." β
The old beggar took a look into the private room by the light: "It's rich enough, or I'll go in and pick it myself." β
Su Le thought to himself that Xiao Dongfeng would be someone else's tomorrow anyway, since he met it, even if it was fate, why would he refuse someone, so Su Le nodded.
The old beggar turned his anger into a smile: "Boy, you are not bad, which school?" I'll write you a letter of commendation. β
The old beggar walked into Xiaodongfeng, and when he saw that there was a lot of food left on the table, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!" β
Su Le said: "Old man, don't button your hat indiscriminately, I'm a tavern here, I can't climb any Zhumen, and in the summer, how can there be frozen bones!" β
"Yo ho! I really like to raise the bar! β
The old beggar looked at it, took out the seven yuan in the big teapot and put it in his pocket, and then pointed to the dishes on the table: "You're welcome!" β
Su Le said: "You're welcome, if you don't dislike leftovers, you can sit here and eat." But he secretly said in his heart, the seven yuan is not in his pocket, it was like an iron bone just now, an old slippery head!
The old beggar smiled and said, "Really? β
Su Le sat down on the side and said, "What am I lying to you for?" I'll tell you the truth, it's going to be closed tomorrow, so whatever you want tonight. β
"Then you're welcome." The old beggar picked up a pair of chopsticks, first took a piece of back to the pot meat, took a bite, and immediately spit it out: "Phew! Why didn't anyone move the meat in the pot this time, it looked golden and oily, as if it was delicious, but it tasted hard, dry, chewing in my mouth like firewood, almost clucking my good teeth. β
