Prologue: Our Memory
According to legend, on an inconspicuous old street, there is a special breakfast shop, where is it special? Certainly not because of the food.
We often think about it, because people have countless problems all the time.
In this place, although it will not solve all your problems, it will always give you the most satisfactory answer.
"You're just blowing there." Lin Mu expressed disdain for this, "For the sake of a breakfast shop, I went so far to be a teacher, unless I was crazy." ”
Without waiting for the other party to answer, Lin Mu picked up his coat and walked out, "Okay, but thank you too, it's hard to find a job now, I'll think about it again." ”
The night in a big city is beautiful, and the lights are the sun at night, illuminating the road ahead for people.
But why is my path still dark?
Nothing here belongs to him.
Lin Mu sighed, put on his suit, and carefully straightened it. Later, he was going to go to a company for an interview, so Lin Mu turned a corner and went to his old classmate to borrow a suit.
It's summer, but it's not hot after wearing so much, maybe that's the unique characteristic of big cities, right?
Lin Mu straightened his hair on the phone screen and walked into the small company that didn't seem to be large.
"Look at that person, if you want to have a degree or not, if you want to have no experience, you dare to come to us to find a job!"
"That's it, look at the person he wears like a dog, and he will be given to look at the door of the building!"
"Hey, he's not worthy ...... janitor."
Lin Mu endured until the end of the interview, and a good temper is one of his necessary skills now, even if those people talk about themselves directly in front of him.
What can be done? This world is like this, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.
Lin Mu shook his head, there was not much hope for the interview just now, and he was a little nervous, so it was impossible for him to be hired.
The suit was very tight on his body, and it was a little uncomfortable, so Lin Mu simply took it off and held it in his hand. My throat was a little dry, so I walked into a convenience store to buy a bottle of water to drink.
"Yo, isn't this Lin Mu? How's it going? A familiar voice came from behind.
Without looking back, Lin Mu guessed who this person was.
He is also Lin Mu's old classmate, and he lived in a dormitory with Lin Mu for four years of college, and his relationship with Lin Mu is not bad.
But this person's mouth is particularly annoying, and his other roommate, the one who borrowed Lin Mu's suit, is also diametrically opposed in personality.
In short, Lin Mu doesn't want to meet him now, and he is the only one in the dormitory who has a worrying future. This one has already found a job and is said to be an executive, while the other roommate has chosen to go to graduate school and is also fruitful in research.
Lin Mu did not choose to go to graduate school after graduation, and worked in an ordinary small company for a few years, and then, the company suddenly closed down, and he has not found a new job until now.
College is not a good university, and it is not as good as those prospective college students with high academic qualifications. And in terms of work experience, the company has gone out of business, can you mention this?
As a result, I had to live a journey like a year to find a job.
After a few words of greeting (despised) with his old classmates, Lin Mu hurriedly ended the topic. Seeing that the old classmate who was still the same as himself in the past drove away, and he had no stable income, Lin Mu felt very uncomfortable.
After taking the cheapest bottle of water, and when he was about to pay for it, Lin Mu found a business card in his pocket.
It seems to have been stuffed by the old classmate in the suit.
Lin Mu walked home, lay on the bed, and took out the business card again.
The business card is that simple, the top line is the name of the school - Shengmu Elementary School in Shengmu Town, and the phone number of the principal is below.
Lin Mu's university is a teacher, and he also has a teaching certificate, so it can be said that this is a corresponding job.
However, the last thing every child wants to be a teacher when they are young is a teacher, and the same is true for Lin Mu, he will not be a teacher unless he has to.
But now, it seems that he has no choice......
Lin Mu took out his mobile phone and pressed the number on the business card.
……
Yannan Old Street, early morning.
The sky in the east gradually appeared white, and a neat row of poplars at the entrance of the street stood straight like soldiers, guarding the old street behind them.
I don't know whose rooster took the lead, and for a moment, the silent street was filled with the sound of roosters crowing one after another, very much like music to welcome the sun.
"Wow—" The door of a breakfast shop was rudely opened. The roosters, who were arguing so hard, paused, then scrambled to crow.
Zheng Gui pursed his lips. As the owner of a breakfast shop, I have to wake up early every day. Lying in bed? Inexistent.
In this quiet morning, only this rooster crow accompanied Zheng Gui.
I don't know how long it took to be busy, but the sky in the east was a little brighter, showing a beautiful orange and yellow, and the moon, which was still faintly visible before, hid itself at some point.
The birds became agitated, and at first they were a little jealous, but they only crowed quietly, and then, when they became bolder, they chirped and cried, and they also had a fight with the roosters.
The porridge in the cauldron had already boiled a few times, and Zheng Gui turned it to low heat. When the buns in the steamer were about the same, several lights came on one after another on the street.
These are either for a morning jog or an early riser to go to work. Waking up early has become a habit engraved in their bones.
A breeze blows, grabbing the scent of the breakfast shop and bringing it into the cracks of every house's door.
The number of people coming to the breakfast shop is gradually increasing......
"Meow~" A cat meow looks very abrupt in the bustling diners.
Zheng Gui knew that this was Uncle Bai's cat running back with Uncle Bai.
It's a black cat. There is an old saying in the countryside that black cats are psychic and have a lot of humanity.
Uncle Bai's house was just picked up by Uncle Bai, and then he was going to give it away, but for some reason he left it again, and even his son, who has always disliked cats, nodded.
The cat is rumored to have caused a fatal ......
However, among outsiders, only Zheng Gui knows everything, and the others only know that it is related to the theft that happened some time ago. Uncle Bai didn't want to mention it, and when others asked Zheng Gui, Zheng Gui could only shake his head.
I don't want to say it, people can only guess in private. Over time, it was even rumored that the cat was actually the black cat sheriff, and it was it that solved the case.
For these rumors, Uncle Bai and Zheng Gui just smiled, what about the cat? You ask it, and it will just look up at you, and at most "meow" again.
Is it true? Who knows!
Zheng Gui greeted Uncle Bai, and at the same time, he didn't forget to take out the cat's special food bowl, pour some cat food, and send it to Uncle Bai's table together.
The food bowl and cat food were all placed in the breakfast shop by Uncle Bai, and he was very hungry after running in the morning, so he couldn't let the cat watch him eat...... Uncle Bai is a kind person, so Uncle Bai moved the cat's dining place here by the way.
At first, people had some opinions, but then they got used to it.
This cat eats in addition to a bad temper and a louder voice, but everything else is fine.
Uncle Bai's white hair and the black cat's black hair are crowded on a table, and they look very funny.
"By the way, what about your 'yogurt'? Anyway, I didn't see your boss lady and went out? Uncle Bai asked suddenly.
Zheng Gui was cleaning up a table, and when he heard this, the movements of his hands also stopped, "The child went back to his mother's house to take a look, and by the way, he also brought the 'yogurt', saying that he was afraid that I would not be able to take care of the ......puppy as a big man."
Uncle Bai smiled, touched the black cat that was "snorting", and said with a smile: "It seems that there is no dog to play with you recently!" ”
The black cat's tail moved, indicating that it had heard, but the pace of eating did not stop for a moment.
"You know how to eat!" Uncle Bai was disgusted and patted it gently.
The cat's head finally raised and looked at Uncle Bai's "meow", as if he was still aggrieved. Seeing this, the other guests also covered their mouths and snickered.
The plan of the day lies in the morning, breakfast is the essence of the morning, and people's feelings are the purest and sincere at breakfast.
As the sun rose, the whole street was lit up, and the lights that had been lit were extinguished.
More people come to the breakfast shop again......
Uncle Bai is a frequent visitor here, and he is quite familiar with Zheng Gui, besides, Uncle Bai has nothing to do when he goes home, and he can often stay here at Zheng Gui until the end of breakfast.
When Zheng Gui was busy, Uncle Bai would sometimes come to help, although he just handed a bowl and a pair of chopsticks or something.
When there are not many people in the breakfast shop, Uncle Bai and Zheng Gui will also chatter. I don't know how these two have so many common languages with an age difference of more than 30 years......
"Uncle Bai, are you going to the gym this afternoon? It seems that Huang Lao will also go in the afternoon, and the two of you haven't spoken for a long time, so you just chatter. Zheng Gui asked Uncle Bai while washing the dishes.
Uncle Bai was teasing the cat there, and when he heard this, he thought about it a little, "I won't go this afternoon, I have to pick up a child in the afternoon, and if you come here to rent a house, you will live opposite your house." ”
"Where's the other side?" Zheng Gui was obviously a little surprised, "At this time, there will be people coming here to rent a house?" ”
"Hey, that's right, I heard that the kid came here to be a teacher, and he seems to be twenty-five years old."
Zheng Gui brushed the last bowl and straightened his waist, "Okay, I'll go and see it when I have time in the afternoon." ”
Uncle Bai frowned slightly, "Xiao Zheng, if that kid in your family doesn't leave, he will be twenty-five this year, right?" ”
When Zheng Gui heard this, his expression was a little gloomy, and he nodded slightly.
"Well, it's exactly twenty-five."
"Do you miss him, then?"
Zheng Gui stretched, sat down next to Uncle Bai to drink tea, and pointed to the door, "Uncle Bai, the door is open, if he wants to come back, just open the door!" ”
"Hahaha......" Uncle Bai suddenly laughed, "If he hears this, I'm afraid he really won't come back!" ”
After speaking, he led the black cat out of the breakfast shop.
This breakfast shop in Lao Cai has returned to the silence of the night.
Zheng Guimu saw Uncle Bai leave and sighed secretly, "You stupid boy, when will you come back?" ”
Tea in a cup, drink it all......
