Chapter 165: Shengyang takes in Ah Xing
Qiangzi and Jinbao were looking for work on the streets of Xi'an, and when they walked to the door of a machine factory, they happened to meet workers getting off work, and the rolling crowd was running in different directions on bicycles, some singing "Sweet Honey", some singing "Nothing", this kind of spectacular scene was seen for the first time. My hometown is a mountainous area, at most it is a tea processing factory, only four or five people, ordinary people can not enter, I heard that as long as one person works in the factory, he can feed several people. Jinbao saw a lot of girls and fantasized that if she could go to work in such a place, the object would definitely be fine.
Qiangzi knew in his heart that it was impossible for a person with a criminal record like him to enter the factory, so he should take a look at the scenery. If, as Shengli said, transport Ankang's specialties to Xi'an to sell, and then take Xi'an's goods back to Ankang to sell, this is a business that many people are doing, and it is a fool's dream for him, and the whole Xi'an is like reaching out and not seeing five fingers, a blur. He felt that the "Nothing" sung by the man was in line with the mood and state at this time, there was nothing, although he walked on the ground, he was wandering like a zombie.
Jinbao saw that Qiangzi was in a daze, understood his situation, and looked for a few days, but there was no suitable one, and even the construction site didn't want them. Jinbao persuaded Qiangzi to try another city, such as Shenzhen, where he didn't care if he had squatted in prison or not, and heard that as long as he had a flexible brain, he could make money.
Two years ago, Qiangzi heard Shengli say that Shenzhen is a piecework wage, and many factories in the mainland are also implementing reforms to attract foreign capital to become joint-stock enterprises. This means that many of the iron rice bowls they rely on for survival will be lost, and their pride will no longer exist. But they are good or bad and have skills, and he doesn't count any onions. I looked up at the beautiful Xi'an, this is a city that I don't want to leave when I come, and there is Shengli here, I really don't want to leave.
Jinbao also found that the previous bragging skills had become worthless, and he had dug coal with people for a few days, done some chores, and asked what he didn't understand. That time, I heard Shengli say that Zhang Million was developed in the south, and I secretly wanted to drag the relationship to Guangdong to find him, but she fooled him into following Qiangzi, he is a person who can't let go of the young master's frame and face in his bones. But he is enough buddy, most of his spending these days is his money, and he also teaches him self-defense skills in the hotel.
The two of them turned around, hungry, and wanted to find a restaurant, but they were really tired of eating noodles these days, and they ran several restaurants for noodles. It is said that in a big city like Xi'an, there are people all over the country, and there should still be a place to eat rice, but I haven't found it. Jinbao said that it was better to eat noodles first to fill his stomach, so he entered a noodle restaurant and ordered a sauerkraut noodles.
Qiangzi rarely eats pasta, Jinbao doesn't like to eat noodles very much, the two look at the noodles a little difficult, the people in southern Shaanxi are different from the Guanzhong people, Pingli and Hubei border, so it is generally rice, noodles, corn paste crossed to eat, and the noodles can't stand it at all. Jinbao then remembered why Shengyang wanted to open a stir-fry restaurant, and the people who have seen the world are really different. If it weren't for the embarrassment between them, he would definitely choose to go to Shengyang's restaurant every day to eat, and the fellow villagers would take care of the fellow villagers. By the way, she can still rely on Shengli and ask her boyfriend for help, how can she find a job.
After the two finished eating, they walked out and continued to look for a suitable job, and they saw a stir-fry restaurant around the corner, and walked in as if they were relatives, and sat there only to realize that they had eaten just now. However, I walked a lot and lost face, so I tasted the aroma of rice, ordered two dishes, and asked for a bottle of beer, which was the happiest thing in the past few days. They looked at each other and smiled, probably no one would have thought that they would walk the rivers and lakes together, the sky in Xi'an is indeed wide and big, so big that I want to cry and say goodbye.
Shengyang was familiar with the environment for a few days, bought the ingredients, and all the cost budgets were clearly recorded, but he found that many people who came and went were eating pasta, and there was a stir-fry restaurant diagonally across the door, and the business was cold. For such a small restaurant, Shengli said that she would ask for a helper, and if there were no guests, one person would be enough.
After cooking a bowl of noodles, I sat in the restaurant and watched the people outside, thinking about how to run my restaurant. Suddenly it rained, the crowd began to run or hide under the eaves to avoid the rain, a short figure came into view, he was carrying a nylon bag, which contained some waste, and carried a cloth bag, he wanted to hide from the rain at the door of his restaurant, tried several times and did not climb up, this row of restaurants is a bit high, so set up a ladder, it is said that it is not very difficult. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and some of the people next to him saw that he was a beggar, dressed in tatters, and carrying some garbage and waste, and they were afraid that he would get wet, and almost no one reached out to pull him.
Shengyang thought it was a child, came out and looked at his face, like a twenty-year-old, I had seen it in Zhejiang before, this kind of person was born short, and when he saw that he was struggling, he reached out and pulled him, and let him sit in the restaurant, he was a little embarrassed, and Shengyang said it was okay. He asked the people who were sheltering from the rain to go in and sit, but no one wanted to go in, saying that the rain would stop in a while, and he knew that they hated the beggars for being too dirty.
Those people saw that Shengyang was so good to a dirty beggar, and they didn't understand, and when they looked up, they saw that it was a stir-fry restaurant called Ankang Village, which would open tomorrow, and the boss was probably not a smart person, and the best business on the whole street was a noodle restaurant. People who were close also found that Shengyang was one eye, and immediately felt that they were sympathetic.
Seungyang asked him if he was hungry, and he nodded. He said to cook a bowl of noodles for him, he shook his head and explained awkwardly that there was no money to eat, Shengyang said that he didn't want money, the restaurant hadn't opened yet, and even if it did, he didn't need money. He bowed to Shengyang gratefully, and Shengyang helped him and said that he was not polite, and asked him to wait. The rain was still falling outside, and the people who were sheltering from the rain didn't know each other, so they didn't chat, so they occasionally went to the restaurant to see what the owner was doing to the dirty beggar.
Seungyang cooked the noodles and served them in front of him, he had been eating leftovers, and he hadn't eaten fresh and clean food for a long time. Tears flowed profusely, and Shengyang let him eat when he was full, and he began to eat the noodles in the bowl. He said that his name was Ah Xing, he wandered from Henan half a year ago, and he was followed by a mother, who was sick and spent all the money he begged for.
Shengyang asked what the situation was, Ah Xing said that it was an advanced stage of tuberculosis, and the doctor said that it was not good, so he begged everywhere, picked up scraps and scraped together money, hoping to be cured. Shengyang felt pity, ate a good meal, cooked another bowl of noodles, and asked him to lead the way and meet his mother together. The person who was hiding from the rain saw Shengyang lock the door, and then walked in the rain with Ah Xing on his back, it turned out that he not only had eye problems, but was also lame, and his limp was moving.
