28: Someone like me

Under the persuasion of his father, he obtained the consent of his sister and took his younger brother out to have dinner with his father.

The father took the children to a small home-cooked restaurant nearby, this little stir-fry pipe father has basically not been to a few times, his own family is originally a restaurant, and his own family is not very rich, of course, the time to go to the restaurant is very little.

As soon as Zhao Xun pushed open the door, he was surrounded by this sudden enthusiasm.

"Oh, this isn't Lao Zhao! You're a rarity! Why are you here today? I saw a woman wearing a knee-length white flower apron on her lower body was stopping her hand and said, soybean-sized beads of sweat were dripping down her forehead to the broom in her hand, and she didn't have time to wipe it.

"Haha, you little daughter-in-law, you are laughing at me again, why can't I come to your store to eat! Didn't I send money to your store? Don't you welcome your brother? Hahaha. ”

"Oh, hey, Brother Zhao, you came here to our small shop, it must be full of flowers, you come to take care of your sister's business, that sister is naturally too late to be happy, how can you not welcome this brother!" The sweaty woman was talking to her father as she brought over the menu.

"Or my sister can talk, hahaha."

"Brother Lai, the menu is for you, look at what you eat today, there is good wine and meat." After speaking, the woman smiled unabashedly.

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to order, I haven't introduced you yet, this is ......" Before my father could speak, he was interrupted by the woman who claimed to be his sister.

"I know, isn't this your eldest girl looking for it, didn't you take a good university exam two years ago, I knew me when I worked in the textile factory before, it's just that the doll doesn't know the girl, and these two little dolls aren't the two hard-working children of Xianglian, are you right?" She said, pointing to the children.

"How do you know? My girl doesn't go out very often, and you know you a lot. ”

"Brother Zhao, there are only these few families in our town, how can I say that my sister doesn't know anyone's family, it's just that I don't usually move around, if you want to say that you know it, you still know it."

"My girl didn't often go to school at home before, and it's normal not to know you seniors, come, find a child, you know, this is your Aunt Aixiang, two years younger than Dad, Aixiang, you are a tiger, right? When we were young, we all grew up bare-bottomed, and when we grew up, we were busy with our family careers and had less time to get together. ”

"Hahaha, brother, you are good to my sister, and I am still thinking about my sister's zodiac!"

"Well, I've heard my dad say that Aunt Aixiang is good."

"Well, good, good, you're good, Lao Zhao, you're really a good child, you look really watery, it's just ......"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it, let's order!" Father interrupted suddenly.

Zhao Xun looked at the woman named Aixiang in front of him, and saw that the pure white chef's hat on his head had been completely smoked into gray-brown by the oil smoke, and her waxy little face was lined with a few deep or shallow wrinkles.

"Come, take a look at Lao Zhao, what do you want to eat, my sister will show you a hand."

"Come on, come on, let the children take a look, I'm an adult, I can eat anything, do you see what you are good at? Just give a few to my brother. ”

"Then brother, let's have a stewed beans with pork ribs, right? The ribs were just sent over, and Xiao Liu, who delivered the meat, said that it was a pig that had just been killed, and he was on the field at the time, and the beans were also just picked by the girl from the backyard, fresh, brother, do you see it? ”

"Okay, let's have a pot of stewed pork ribs, the children also think they haven't eaten meat for a few days, right?"

"Uncle, I just ate it two days ago, just order a noodle for our sister and brother, and we can't eat it if we order more."

"It's okay, no children, no need to save me money, uncle is specially taking you two out to eat delicious food today, we can eat whatever you want, don't be struggling, let's eat with an open stomach."

The simple sister felt that it was already very good for her father to care about their sister and brother, and they didn't ask for anything else, they thought it was already good, and they didn't want to owe their father too much.

"Oh, look at these two children, Xianglian, you can get them a fish-flavored shredded pork, the little girl's family likes to eat something sweet, and then two small cold dishes, you can watch and cook it yourself, everything you make is delicious."

"Okay, brother, you talk to the children first, and it will be served to you in minutes!"

You must know that in my father's life, although he has also opened a bone pipe and now opened a small restaurant, but the business has always been sluggish, and he can't come up with a few big bucks to be honest.

Zhao Xun looked at the woman in front of him carefully, although there was a strong smell of oil smoke all over her body, but it did not delay the enthusiasm in her bones at all.

It didn't take long for the steaming pork ribs to be served on the table, and to be honest, the word "ten miles of fragrance" could not be better here.

Fry the pork ribs until they are golden brown on both sides, slightly detached from the bones, and served with fresh long beans and a few millet peppers sprinkled on the side. (When making pork ribs, you can add more water to stew the meat, so that the beans can be simmered for a while to prevent food poisoning caused by undercooked beans.) )

Sniff it gently, the fragrant meat fragrance can invade your internal organs in an instant, "saliva direct flow of 3,000 feet" is the true portrayal of this pot of pork ribs stewed beans, it can be said that it is full of color and flavor, everything in heaven and earth!

It is said that all your unhappiness stems from your lack of food.

Sure enough, after Liu Laizi's two children finished this dinner, they were indeed in a much better mood, and their father didn't say anything more at the dinner table, firstly, because there were many people in the restaurant outside, maybe someone would make you bad, and secondly, the father also wanted the children to eat a good meal steadily.

After eating, the father offered to go to the nearby park for a walk, and the two children also thought it was good to eliminate food, of course, the younger brother listened to the elder sister.

So they walked in the direction of the park, and on the way they met a handsome young man who played the acoustic guitar and sang, and his father still couldn't understand what this street trend meant, so his sister told his father that he was a street performer in the past, so of course, my father understood it at once.

The father and the children were attracted by this beautiful and clear singing, and they all wanted to come and join in the fun, after all, in this small place, the chance of seeing the "live-action" playing and singing is very small.

My father didn't know what song it was, but my sister told my father that it was a new song "People Like Me" sung by a pop singer named Mao Buyi, and just like that, my father and a few children stopped to listen to the song.

My father probably didn't quite understand what the scene depicted in the lyrics was, so he began to scratch his ears and cheeks after listening to a few words.

Instead, those children obediently carried a small bench and sat in rows, allowing passers-by on the road to come and go:

Someone as good as me

should have lived a brilliant life

How did more than twenty years come to an end

is still floating in the sea of people

Someone as smart as me

I have long said goodbye to innocence

Why did you still use a relationship

Go get a scar

Someone like me who is confused

People like me who are looking for it

Someone like me who doesn't do anything

How many more people have you met

Vulgar people like me

Never like to pretend to be deep

How to occasionally hear oldies

Suddenly, I shook my head

People like me who are not willing to be ordinary

How many people are there in the world

Inexplicable people like me

Will anyone feel distressed......

Everyone seemed to be immersed in this melodious singing, the lyrics were simple and unpretentious, probably singing everyone's heart, and everyone present here was even reluctant to leave.

Zhao Xun doesn't know what others think, anyway, every sentence in this song seems to be interpreting her ordinary self in her early 20s, ordinary but unwilling to be ordinary.

I remember that in July 2017, the circle of friends was singing this song "People Like Me", so I clicked on "Tomorrow's Son", across the screen, watching Mao Mao affectionately interpret every song, suddenly tears in my eyes, I felt that I was suddenly a superstar Mao Loop fan.

Words are heart-wrenching, I feel that in this song, it is me who sings, the single cycle for many days, I don't know what Mao Mao has experienced to be able to write such a heart-piercing but encouraging song, I remember an interview at the time, Mao Mao said that he himself did not think it was a sad song at all, but a particularly inspiring song.

Living in this big world, we are either in good times, or hesitant, or happy, or sad, but we can still be kind, know accidents, understand human feelings, and resolutely believe in poetry and distance.

Thanks to Mao Buyi, when he was only in his twenties, he wrote the lyrics that moved our hearts, and said the words in the hearts of all ordinary people who floated and sank in the sea of people.

You and I were born as human beings, and we are ordinary.

Thanks to Mao Buyi!
