Chapter 7: Two Lives

Shen Bing's parents have been working in the local area for half their lives, and they can be regarded as local face-saving people, and their family has opened a factory that processes beef jerky, and there are dozens of workers up and down. Shen Bing's parents also came out of the countryside, and at the beginning of the business, they were busy with business and neglected Shen Bing's education. There are 1,000 or 2,000 kindergarten students, 7 boys, and the children who come to school here are children from better families but with poor grades. Seventeen or eighteen years old is in adolescence, rebellious personality and love for the beginning of the year, Shen Bing's not outstanding appearance in this kind of environment where boys are scarce, naturally she has never been in love, and the wealthy economic situation of her family has made her form a domineering, domineering, and empty-eyed character in this rebellious stage of life.

Wang En is a child from the countryside, and buying an extracurricular book was a luxury when he was a child. The longest time with him in his reading career is the big black cow of their family, primary and junior high school in the town to study, every morning before going to school, the oily and slippery big black cow to the mountain and then carry the schoolbag to school, after school in the afternoon, first run to the mountain to accompany the big black cow to finish writing last night, waiting for the sunset to be exhausted, the black fur of the cow no longer shines with a shiny black light, and then lead the cow home. During the winter and summer vacations of high school, I couldn't escape getting along with the big black bull. During the winter and summer vacations of the university, the students were relieved, ecstatic, and couldn't wait to rush home, Wang En could only stay alone in the dormitory and watch the students leave one by one, the originally crowded and lively dormitory became empty, and Wang En's breathing echoed through the empty dormitory in the silent dormitory building. He spent four years of college alone in school, during which he worked in KFC to earn money. Although he applied for a student loan for college tuition, the money he saved during the holidays could allow him to eat and dress better in the coming semester, so that he would not be ridiculed for being too far away from his classmates in terms of financial consumption. Wang En had a relationship in college, and when he graduated, it was the customary college love law when he broke up, which made him calm and not sad or happy about his realistic love that could wring out the water. The life experiences of Shen Bing and Wang En are two unrelated worlds. Wang En couldn't understand Shen Bing's spiritual pursuit, and Shen Bing couldn't understand Wang En's material desire.

Shen Bing's parents, who graduated from kindergarten, have arranged various kindergartens for her to choose; Wang En, who graduated from the Normal School, was worried about the tense rhythm of repaying the interest on the stipend, and was brushed up on the exams and interviews. In terms of achievements measured solely by money, Shen Bing, who came out of kindergarten at that time, was far more accomplished than Wang En, who graduated from college.

Shen Bing drove Wang En to the largest shopping mall in the city, where the dazzling array of goods made Wang En dizzy and out of breath. Wang En had never had the courage to come to such a place full of consumption, even if he was paid to work now, he felt that he did not belong here when he arrived in such a place, and everyone's eyes seemed to be able to see through his pockets, and the trembling coins in his pockets were clearly seen, and everyone's tone was full of contempt and mockery. It's like a criminal in a majestic courtroom, or like an emperor in a new suit of invisibility. This kind of environment always makes Wang En feel chilling and self-esteem.

Shen Bing took Wang En up and down, left and right to visit all the stores, Shen Bing elegantly took out a hundred yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to those well-dressed sellers. Wang En's hands and shoulders were full of large and small bags full of different patterns and colors, and the weight in Shen Bing's wallet was decreasing and increasing hundreds of times inversely proportional to the weight on Wang En's shoulders.

Time overshadowed Wang En's uneasiness and erased Shen Bing's wildness, replaced by the call of hunger in his belly.

The fourth floor of the shopping factory is a place for customers to eat, and the countryside to catch up with the market is different is that the shopping mall has made a distinction between buyers and sellers in three hundred and sixty-nine categories, such a classification provides customers with the convenience of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and at the same time increases the competitiveness of similar businesses, merchants have to be forced to rack their brains to change the marketing strategy to attract customers, some stores are antique, rich in cultural color and heritage, some of the science and technology are full of fashion, in giving people and avant-garde and novel at the same time, you can not understand what he sells for the first time.

The two of them found a place with few guests and ordered a fat cow hot pot, Shen Bing shouted loudly, "Waiter... Waiter...", a handsome boy in a dark green suit and a butterfly bow tie came to their table with a colorful menu, and said in the same polite language, "Welcome to the Guifei Fat Beef Hot Pot, what do you two eat?" ”

Shen Bing took the menu and glanced at it, "Let's have two glasses of juice first, I'm so thirsty", and after speaking, he threw the menu to Wang En, "You can order whatever you want!" ”

"I'm not very good at ordering"

"Then what do you want to eat, I'll order"

"Whatever"

"Waiter, do you have anything here? Give him one"

"I'm sorry! Miss, we don't have anything casual here," the handsome boy pursed his lips and smiled.

"Look, whatever you want to eat, no one else has it here," Shen Bing said to Wang En. "Why don't we change it!" She continued.

"No kidding, eat and go home"

"I finally came out, I was in a hurry to go back to home, and there was a show after eating"

"Then hurry up and order!"

"Here's this... This one... This one... And this."

The waiter memorized the dishes he had ordered, turned around and walked towards the open kitchen at the back, and pointed out to the person in charge of the kitchen.

"What are you going to do later?"

"Accompany me to karaoke after eating"

"I can't sing"

"I didn't ask you to sing, I asked you to accompany me!"

When the hot pot came up, the flames made a popping sound at the bottom of the pot and rushed upward, and the red oil on the soup gradually churned from the inside to the edge of the pot under the urging of the flames.

Beef Jin, Beef Shutters, Beef Spinal Cord, Snowflake Beef, Beef Yellow Throat, Beef Hoof Flower, and a basket of vegetables. "The two of us can eat so much!" Wang En looked at Shen Bing and asked.

"That's not much!"

"Why don't you go back a little bit! I can't eat it and waste it. ”

"What do I eat if I retire, if you don't eat I'll eat"

"Sir, your dishes are ready, please use them slowly" The waiter held his right hand on his abdomen, his left hand behind his back, and bowed to them with his waist hooked.

With the sound of Shen Bing's bar, half of the vegetables on the table were gone, and in the end, there was still half a plate of bezoar throat, half a plate of beef jin and half a basket of vegetables. Shen Bing shouted loudly again, "Waiter... Waiter... Checkout...", the handsome little guy who served us trotted all the way to our table and looked at me with a smile and asked, "Sir, do you want to settle the bill?" ”

"It's... Be... It's..."Wang En said ominously.

The waiter didn't take his eyes off Wang En's body, he continued to smile at Wang En and said, "You spent a total of 358 yuan." "Damn, why is it so expensive!" Wang En chuckled in his heart. He was about to reach into his pocket and touch his wallet, when he forgot that he didn't bring his wallet with him when he went out to class in the morning. Wang En's face turned pale at first and then crimson, and he hurriedly touched his chest and legs, shuttling up and down several times, his head getting lower and lower, and his movements becoming slower and slower.

"Little handsome guy, I'll settle the bill today. We agreed that I should end the knot today. Shen Bing helped Wang En break the siege.

The handsome little man in a green suit turned his eyes to Shen Bing with a smile, and Wang En still saw the subtle changes in the waiter's eyes and smile with his observant eyes in an extremely nervous state.
