Chapter 2: The Old Beggar
Some people said before that the post-90s generation is the generation with the most positive views in history, with independent thoughts, not blindly following, not following the crowd, not good at flattery, and not like to slip around and shoot horses, but some people say that the post-90s are the beat generation, without great revenge, believe in hedonism, have no hardships and dedication of predecessors, and advocate themselves excessively, and some people say that the post-90s generation is the generation with the least pressure to act, most of them are only children who will have to support four old people in the future, and they have to take care of their wives and children, and they also have high mortgages. Bearing the huge pressure of life, even if there are any ideals and revenge, you can only bow to reality, and it will not be over, in short, the post-90s generation is such a strange generation, and it is also the pillar of the future.
Chu Ming, as an extremely ordinary member of the post-90s army, he also has his own thoughts and revenge, and he is also eager to change his fate through his own efforts, not seeking to change the world or anything, at least he will no longer worry about life, but now Chu Ming can only bury himself in his own work, earn the first pot of gold in his life and then think about other things, as for the house, car, wife and children, these seem to be a little far away from Chu Ming.
It's rare that the fat manager didn't come to Chu Ming for trouble all morning, and after working until half past eleven, Chu Ming, like other colleagues, went out to eat, the company doesn't care about food, generally people in the company will go to nearby restaurants or noodle restaurants and other places to eat casually, and there are also guests to improve the food, but not much, after all, most of the people who work in the company are not rich second generations, and life is very stressful, so save some if you can.
"What's going to be for lunch tonight?" Wang Danxin put his arm on Chu Ming's shoulder and asked, "Lao Yang's beef noodles, I haven't eaten them for a few days, how is it?" Chu Ming proposed to Wang Danxin, "It's okay, let's go, hurry up and eat, let's eat a chicken after eating" Wang Danxin squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Ming and said, Chu Ming nodded, Chu Ming also likes the game, but he is not obsessed, Wang Danxin is an out-and-out game lover, but unfortunately the level is not good, it is not as good as Chu Ming, if he eats chicken by himself, it is estimated that the top twenty will not be able to enter, but with Chu Ming, not to mention the guaranteed food, the finals can always enter.
Lao Yang's beef noodles, as soon as I heard the name, it was a small fly restaurant, the store was very small, there were only three or five tables in it, the owner Lao Yang was a disabled person, he lost a leg because of a car accident, and he could only do some business to subsidize his family, but because Lao Yang's beef noodles were large and the beef was sufficient, he was very popular with small staff like Chu Ming, and business has been good.
"Lao Yang, two large portions of beef noodles, hurry up!" As soon as Wang Danxin entered the store, he shouted to Lao Yang, who was cooking noodles, everyone is an acquaintance, and there is no need for too many polite words, "Okay, sit down a little, three minutes!" Lao Yang didn't even look at the sound to know who was coming, two large handfuls of noodles were thrown into the boiling water and began to boil, and the pot next to the beef cubes was exuding a charming aroma.
"Do you want to drink water, I'll please" Wang Danxin asked, and before Chu Ming could answer, an iced tea was thrown to Chu Ming, and he took one himself, Chu Ming likes ice tea, he knows, but two pieces of five things, Chu Ming is too lazy to be polite to Wang Danxin, and after opening it, he poured a big sip hard.
"Young man, old man, I haven't eaten for a day, see if you can" At this time, an old voice came into Chu Ming's ears, Chu Ming looked at it, Lao Yang didn't know when an old beggar came to the shop, dirty, still holding a broken bowl in his hand, pinning this plastic bag on his waist, there were some flattened children in it, "Hmph, it's a lie again, I can't be hungry if I have hands and feet in farming these days" Wang Danxin glanced at the old beggar and said with disdain, no way, These days, there have been too many news of beggars driving BMWs after work, beggars have become a profession, kneeling on the ground and easily earning more than 10,000 a month, the tattered clothes are people's work clothes, worn when they go to work, and they are much brighter than ordinary people after work.
"No", "I don't have cash", this old beggar asked a few people and got a negative answer, this year, everyone's inner kindness has long been consumed, there was a guy surnamed Luo before, there are three houses in his hands, worth tens of millions, he is reluctant to treat his daughter, he has to rely on the fundraising of netizens to treat the child, it is simply the scum of the scum, a typical example of corrupting the social atmosphere.
"Hey, who let you in, get out of here! Get out! Lao Yang also saw the old beggar who entered the store at this time, and hurriedly shouted, the old beggar is dirty, and the smell is quite terrible, Lao Yang is in business, naturally he doesn't want such a person to enter the store, if there is no one in the store, the old beggar comes to beg for food, Lao Yang will give it to him, after all, there are many leftovers for catering, but now is the time when the business is busy, and the old beggar comes in Isn't it a smash his business?
"Hey, let's go, let's go, the old man has nothing to eat today" The old beggar said teasingly, at this time Chu Ming suddenly saw that the old beggar's hands were very vicissitudes, and the calluses on it were as thick as cowhide, presumably this old beggar should not be that kind of deception, suddenly, the old beggar glanced at Chu Ming, the eyes of the two collided together, Chu Ming trembled, in the eyes of the old beggar Chu Ming saw what is called 'through vicissitudes', the old beggar must be a person with a story.
"Uncle, you sit inside, you can't disturb others like this" At this time, Chu Ming got up and said to the old beggar, giving up his inner seat, if you let the old beggar sit in the aisle, it will inevitably provoke others to dislike.
"Hey, okay, young man, thank you, thank you" The old beggar was not polite and sat in directly, Chu Ming sniffed it, although the old beggar had some smell, but it was not serious, and it was not to the point where people couldn't eat, Wang Danxin glanced at the old beggar, didn't say anything, and continued to fiddle with his mobile phone, "Lao Yang, add a large portion of beef noodles and put more meat!" Chu Ming shouted to Lao Yang in the kitchen, "Got it!" Lao Yang saw that since Chu Ming had a treat, he didn't say anything about driving away the old beggar, and the people who came in to consume were all guests, and it was not like doing business to pick people out.
After a while, the three bowls of beef noodles were brought up by the lame old Yang, the old beggar had a lot of beef in that bowl, the old beggar was looking at the old beggar with his eyes shining, and the old beggar didn't care if it was hot or not, and he couldn't eat it when he picked up the bowl, Chu Ming and Wang Danxin didn't say anything, they ate their own, the old beggar ate a big bowl of beef noodles in less than two minutes, and after eating, he patted his belly comfortably, and said with satisfaction, "Young man, thank you, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, old man", Chu Ming smiled after hearing thisHe really didn't know how to reply to the old beggar.
"My old man doesn't eat your things for nothing, he has to give you something, but what should I give you?" The old beggar actually looked at Chu Ming with a kind of scrutiny at this time, Chu Ming glanced at the old beggar and was really a little speechless, the old beggar didn't even have the money to eat noodles, and he still had to give his own things, could he give himself mineral water? Wang Danxin also looked at the old beggar with a smile, he wanted to see what the old beggar wanted to give Chu Ming.
"Hey, there is, I have a pocket watch that I haven't used for a long time, and it's really useless to me, so I'll give it to you" After the old beggar finished speaking, he took out a silver and somewhat tattered pocket watch from his personal pocket and put it in front of Chu Ming, Chu Ming looked at it, hey, it's really a pocket watch, I don't know which garbage heap to find out of it, "Uncle, I don't want this thing from you, you take it, maybe you can change a steamed bun to eat in the future, if you don't eat enough, I'll ask you for a bowl again" Chu Ming didn't reach out to touch the old beggar's pocket watch, it was clear that he didn't want this thing.
"Thank you, young man, I'm full, what I gave out, I have never taken it back, listen to me, if you want to have a different life experience, or simply want to start a new life, open this pocket watch, by the way, the name of this pocket watch is Lao Yin" After the beggar finished speaking, he actually got up directly and left directly, so fast that before Chu Ming could react, the old beggar disappeared.
"It's weird" Chu Ming muttered, the old beggar's skills seem to be extraordinary, "Hehe, you have earned it, a bowl of beef noodles has been replaced with a big pocket watch, maybe it's still silver!" Hehe" Wang Danxin teased at Chu Ming, "you, send you" Chu Ming pushed the pocket watch in front of him in front of Wang Danxin, "Don't, this thing was given to you by someone, I don't want it" Wang Danxin said with some schadenfreude, and pushed the pocket watch in front of Chu Ming, Chu Ming was helpless and embarrassed to throw it away, after all, it was still the heart of the old beggar, so he had to put it in his pocket.
Five minutes later, Chu Ming and Wang Danxin finished eating noodles, settled the bill, and walked towards the company, Lao Yang's noodles are very affordable, seven pieces in a small bowl, eight pieces in a large bowl, there are the same amount of beef, and ten pieces of meat are added to a bowl, but the amount of noodles is different.
At noon, Chu Ming can rest until half past one, this is the rest time stipulated by the company, generally Chu Ming eats chicken with Wang Danxin at noon, and then starts to read books, this habit has lasted for a month, but unfortunately Chu Ming's mobile phone is not good, eating chicken is not very smooth, and many times it is a little slower than others, so that Wang Danxin always urges Chu Ming to change his mobile phone.
