Remember [78] in one second., wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! Aunt Mu and Aunt Men shouted in the highest voices on the street, followed by three or five old ladies who shouted vigorously on the street.
So the quarrel put aside the dispute for the time being, the sleepy also stopped sleeping, and the children who were playing sat down in a proper manner, because it was time to eat.
"It's coming! Beware of scalding! The doorman lady on the street came over with a pot of braised pork, and the meat in the pot was piled up like a hill, red and white, steaming with a hot aroma, which hooked people's saliva at once.
The door lady has a short figure, but her voice is very high. The young men who are responsible for adding dishes all the way to the table are in charge.
Sister-in-law, how much meat did you eat in the back kitchen? How do I think your ass is bigger? A horse-faced man said to the lady of the door: "Can the big brother surrender you alone?" β
"You don't think your face is long, right?" The door lady is not afraid at all: "Later, the old lady will break your chin first, so that you will have to bark before you drink!" β
"Come on, come on! Spiced lamb is here! Aunt Nian then brought the mutton, the meat is delicate and the soup is fat, and just smelling it can make people smell good.
Then a large bowl of chicken stew with mushrooms was served, and the bare table was soon filled with these delicious dishes.
"Everyone be quiet, please ask Boss Jiang to say a few words to us!" Aunt Mu stood beside Jiang Jiang and shouted to everyone.
"Yes, yes! Please Boss Jiang give us a few words! "People responded and welcomed it from the bottom of their hearts.
Jiang Jiang was a little embarrassed, but at this time he had to clear his throat and said loudly: "Thank you to all the neighbors for taking care of me all the time, everyone says that I have the ability, in fact, this is a false praise, no matter how capable I am, I don't have three heads and six arms, whether it is before or in the future, please help me a lot." Although I have limited ability, I have a lot of ambition, and the few people who often spend time with me also know that I have a wish, that is, I want to make Coolie Street like Wenxiu Street, Shangya Street, and Shixiang Street, clean, tidy, and lively. Although I have such an idea, but I am not the only one, we need everyone on the street to join in, we all use our hearts in one place, and our strength is to make one place, so that our street looks new! Let every family be fed and clothed, so that children can go to school, and the elderly can enjoy their old age in peace. Let women wear beautiful dresses, and let men walk with their chests held high! β
Every word she said was greeted with a round of warm applause, and these people who had lived at the bottom of Ling Tian City since their ancestors seemed to see a glimmer of light in the endless dark night.
The coldness in them, the darkness before them, will be dispelled as the light grows bigger and closer. One day, they will stand in the sun like the rest of the people in Ling Tian City, enjoying the richness and joy of the bustling city.
"Listen to Boss Jiang, I believe Boss Jiang!" Guo'er Che Wanyi was the first to stand up, raising his arms and shouting, "If it weren't for his package of lo-mei, how could I have hooked up with the dignitaries in Ling Tian City?" If he hadn't asked me to ask Liu Shangshu for words, how could my Wanyi Guoer car be the only one in this Ling Tian City?! β
"That's right, that's right, I also believe in Boss Jiang, if he hadn't given us ideas and asked us coolie brothers to form a group and exchange news, we would still live a life of eating the last meal and not the next meal, looking for work everywhere and running around!" The angry cow also stood up and said loudly.
"That's right, if it weren't for Boss Jiang selling lo-mei on this street, where would we, the firewood-pickers, pig-killing and medicine sellers, find such a fixed income?" More people chimed in.
"Yes, yes, even those of us who don't dare to show up can earn more wages than the old men, and this is all the credit of Boss Jiang!" The aunts and aunts are not to be outdone.
"Is Boss Jiang still worried about not being able to turn over with everyone?" The dog shouted excitedly, and his thin chest rose and fell violently: "My father told me before he died that he wanted me to move to Wenxiu Street for a long time!" But my mother said that people can't forget their roots, and in the end, Boss Jiang told me that I don't have to move to Wenxiu Street, as long as I have the ability, I can make our coolie street better than Wenxiu Street, that is what a man should do! β
"What a good thing this kid said!" Many women shed tears: "We're not going anywhere, just here, to make our home better, to make this street better!" β
Jiang Jiang looked at the simple and loveliest faces, listened to everyone's heartfelt words, and felt that his existence was so meaningful.
"Neighbors! This meal is an end, let us say goodbye to the poverty and hunger of the past, and put an end to those unbearable pasts! This meal is also a beginning, and from then on, we will make great strides towards a rich and joyful tomorrow! Come, let's raise our glasses and toast to the past! Hail to tomorrow! β
Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all with emotion. At this moment, a large crowd of people poured in from the street, and when they looked closely, they were all beggars.
The one at the head is tall and has deep facial features. With a dirty head and braids, dressed in a patchwork beggar outfit, who is not Lao Su?
"Lao Su-" Jiang Jiang stepped forward excitedly.
"Old Jiangβ" Old Su rushed up laughing.
On the night of Jiang Jiang's lo-mei stall, if it weren't for a group of beggars arriving, the consequences would be unimaginable, at least Sun Xiaobei's life would not be saved, and Lian'er's experience would probably be very miserable.
So everyone stood up to welcome the beggars, and hurriedly put together a few tables to entertain them.
"Lao Su, I'm so glad you can come," Jiang Jiang said with a smile: "My Dalian stove has been destroyed, so I can only trouble you again." β
"No trouble, no trouble," Lao Su shook his head again and again, "If I hadn't left in a hurry last time, something like that might not have happened." Thanks to the alertness of my brothers, there were no more serious consequences. β
"I really want to thank these brothers," Jiang Jiang said sincerely: "In the future, if there is a bite to eat on our coolie street, there will definitely be a bite to eat from all the brothers!" β
"Boss Jiang is so righteous! No wonder our elders want to get acquainted with you. A beggar said.
"Lao Su is actually your elder?" Sun Xiaobei asked in surprise.
"You kid," a middle-aged beggar looked at Sun Xiaobei and said with a smile, "Our Elder Su is a well-known beggar son, he has always seen the head of the dragon without seeing the end, there are really not many people in this Ling Tian City who can get his blue eyes." β
"He, he," Sun Xiaobei pointed at Lao Su incoherently: "You say he's a beggar?!" β
"As I said, the beggar boy is nothing great, he is just a beggar," Lao Su said with a smile: "It's just that friends should be honest with each other, and now it's a little unreasonable for me to deliberately hide it." β
