Chapter 227: Seeing the Truth in the Ordinary

"Is there a vegetable market around here?" asked the old man, who had been on the street for a while, suddenly with interest.

Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly turned his head, nodded and said, "There is a vegetable market." ”

"Let's go to the vegetable market. The old man immediately said with a smile.

Qin Mubai didn't ask, he directly turned to another street, there is a farmer's market nearby, it is the kind of large-scale farmer's market, a closed house like a large warehouse factory, which is divided into different types of vegetables, meat, and so on.

There are naturally a lot of people in such a farmer's market, and many villagers in the vicinity almost all come here, especially like some of the guests who come to their own homes, and they come here directly to buy.

After parking the car, Qin Mubai hurriedly ran down to open the co-pilot's door, but before Qin Mubai opened the door, the old man had already opened the car door with a smile and jumped out.

"Don't worry, little comrade, I can't act on my own yet. The old man said with a hearty laugh.

Qin Mubai looked at the old man's emaciated face and was a little moved, Qin Mubai had seen the photos of the old man before he died on the Internet, almost exactly the same as now, his body was thin, his hair was almost gray, and he was dressed in a gray tunic very neatly, clean, neat, and meticulous.

There are age spots on the face, but it looks more amiable. To be honest, like this, Qin Mubai really didn't dare to take the old man out directly, hesitated for a moment, and finally Qin Mubai still asked in a low voice: "Uncle Wu, why don't you wear a hat?"

This old man is not like Qin Shi Huang, no one has seen it at all, and he can't think of it. Many people have seen this photo, although everyone will not think of that person's body, but the appearance is easy to provoke onlookers.

Especially if it's not a hat, it's more like the appearance of old age.

"Okay, you're in charge of arranging me, I'll listen to you. The old man smiled generously and agreed, without saying anything.

"Then I'll find it for you. Qin Mubai immediately walked to the back seat of his car, of course he didn't have a hat, but isn't there a mall?

Although a hat is not worth it in the mall, there is nothing worth it at this time. Buy it for this old man, spend performance points, Qin Mubai admits it, it's worth it!

Qin Mubai thought of a photo he saw, which was when the old man was still young, wearing a windbreaker, and when he was abroad, wearing that kind of top hat on his head. Qin Mubai directly bought a black top hat like this from the mall.

It's not expensive, it only needs 5 performance points, and it's made of some special material, it's warm in winter and cool in summer, but it's just a hat, but King Chujiang, who is, charged 15 points of courier fee with Qin Mubai. Grass!

20 performance points bought a hat, but Qin Mubai didn't care, after closing the trunk, Qin Mubai took the hat and handed it to the old man.

Seeing the hat handed over by Qin Mubai, the old man immediately smiled, "Hey, it's still my favorite style." ”

"That's a must. Qin Mubai also smiled.

"Then let's go, let's go in and have a look. The old man immediately buttoned his hat on his head, and the action of wearing the hat was still as handsome as it was back then.

Qin Mubai immediately followed, at this time Qin Mubai had an illusion, at this moment he was like a secretary who followed the big leader to inspect, well, this is the feeling, Bei'er Shuang. Of course, it would be even cooler if there were countless people around at this moment and rushed to shake hands with the old man in front of him.

However, everyone around was still busy with their own affairs, Qin Mubai also followed the old man into the vegetable field, and entered the entire huge vegetable field, the old man nodded in surprise, it was crowded, and there were almost all kinds of vegetables on the stalls on both sides, and many old people didn't even know the types of these vegetables.

Not far from the door, there is a stall selling spices, which only shows the types of spices, and it seems that there are hundreds of kinds of jars and jars.

Further along, all of them sell vegetables, and although there are overlapping areas of vegetables, most of them have customers shopping in front of them.

"Xiao Qin, what is the salary of an ordinary person now?" After walking inside for a while, the old man deliberately stopped in front of a stall, but he didn't lean over, just listened to a few people buying vegetables from the shop, and after hearing some vegetable prices, he asked.

"Well, the average waiter in our restaurant here has a monthly salary of about 2,500 plus performance bonuses. Qin Mubai immediately gave the old man an answer, "However, the situation in various cities is different, such as Pearl City, the salary of restaurant waiters in these places in the capital must be higher, and the general restaurant will take care of food and housing." ”

"Well, that's pretty good. The old man nodded slightly, this price, combined with the price of the dish he just asked, that life is much better than before, and this is the salary of the waiter in the most ordinary restaurant, a little bit of technical work, the salary is definitely higher.

When he walked through the stalls selling vegetables, all the stalls selling meat in front of him, the old man immediately walked over and asked about the price of meat, and when he finished asking, the old man immediately nodded with satisfaction, although the price of meat is not cheap, but ordinary people can eat it, which is enough.

"Hey, this old man, you look a little familiar. The meat seller inside was probably a fifty or sixty-year-old man, and after chatting with the old man for a few words, he immediately asked with some curiosity.

Qin Mubai almost bit his tongue, his face is familiar, isn't it? This uncle's age, their generation, must be familiar with the person in front of him, but after all, he has been dead for many years, so he can't think of that aspect, so he naturally just feels familiar.

"Haha, yes? People say I look like the founding prime minister. The old man immediately laughed twice and said.

"Oops!" When the old man heard this, the uncle immediately slapped his thigh, and said quickly: "No, I said brother, your appearance is amazing! Don't say it, it's just god, it's too similar, it's too similar, I think there is anything to play the prime minister in the TV series in the future, brother, you go directly, this is too similar!"

"Then I want to too, but where are people willing to use me, a flat-headed commoner, everyone is a big star, and I just look a little like it. The old man immediately laughed and made a joke.

"Oh, brother, don't say it, your accent also has a bit of this flavor, this is your grandson, right? This guy looks really good, but he doesn't look like you anymore. If you are like your brother, let your little grandson become an actor, and you will be able to do it. The old man slapped his thigh and said quickly.

Qin Mubai was a little speechless, I thought, if I were really this grandson, maybe I would be a second generation now, but before that, I had to have a father first, and I couldn't change me out of thin air.

However, Qin Mubai looked at the old man with a little worry, this may be the old man's heart disease. But the old man didn't care at all, and laughed a few times and said, "Brother still you can speak, brother, how about the annual income of your butcher shop?"

"It's okay, aside from the rent and so on, I can probably earn more than 100,000 yuan a year, even if I barely make ends meet, now the children's wages are not high, but the housing prices are not low, and we old guys still have to help work hard." The old man said with a smile.

"But brother, you still have to take care of your own body, I don't think you can work like this, you are in good health, and you are the greatest convincing child ah. The old man said with a smile again.

"Yes, but I can't be idle when I'm idle, speaking of which, when the one who looks very similar to you is still there, that life is not as good as now, I really want the prime minister to see the current prosperity, and now life is good, like when we were young, how can we eat this meat, you look at the young people nowadays to buy vegetables, they are all thin, fat don't. I remember when I was a child, there was a meat distribution in the factory, and if anyone went late and got lean meat, it would be to scold my mother. "This old man probably has no one to talk to.

At this time, there was the problem of the old man's appearance, and the two old men simply chatted together and began to reminisce bittersweetly.

"Yes, at that time, the leaders did not do their jobs well, and they did not manage them well. The old man said with emotion.

"Hey, I said brother, don't you dare to talk nonsense, we, the common people, who don't thank those founding heads, presidents, prime ministers, and ten marshals, I still have this portrait in my house. At that time, it was a little bitter, three years of natural disasters, I remember starving to death a lot of people, but we also persevered, and now life is better, but unfortunately, their generation can't see it. The old man sighed.

"Yes, yes, yes, I will lose if I say too much, brother, you are right, although they can't see it, but there is knowledge under the spring, I believe you can smile. The old man said with a slight smile.

"Well, that's right, this country was beaten down by them, but they haven't enjoyed it, look at the little rabbit cubs now, they don't eat well, one is not happy, and a lot of things are lost if they can't eat. Like at that time, I wanted to eat all the bark and grass roots, and I really had to let them go back to 60 years to see if they didn't starve to death these little rabbits. The old man also said with emotion.

"Now that the living conditions of the country are better, it is inevitable, brother, you don't have to be harsh, in this way, my brother will give me two catties of meat, I will take it away, I won't talk to you more, I have to go back." The old man said with a smile.

"Hey, what to buy, two catties of meat, brother, just for your looks, I invited you for these two catties of meat. The old man was embarrassed, without saying a word, he directly picked up the huge knife, and directly cut off a piece of a piece of lean pork in front of him, and handed it over directly without a scale, looking at the weight, it is estimated that it is more than three catties.

"Hey, that's not going to work, I can't take your stuff for nothing. The old man spoke at once.

"Brother, you're going to slap me in the face, if it weren't for your looks, I'd talk to you, but just for your looks, three catties of meat is nothing, it's no problem to give you all the meat. The old man immediately patted his chest and said. Qin Mubai almost laughed, this uncle is also bragging, if I let you give it all today, I guess you will definitely not give it.

The old man paused for a moment, and finally smiled briskly: "Okay, then I will accept your gift." ”

"Okay, in the future, you have nothing to do, come often. The old man said hello before leaving.

"I will. The old man waved his hand at him, and the two of them turned around and walked outside, Qin Mubai wanted to carry it, but the old man waved his hand and didn't let it, but carried it himself. Walking out seven or eight meters away, Qin Mubai vaguely heard a person next to the old man teasing him, "I said Wang Lao, you used to detain all five cents and one piece, and today the sun is coming up in the north?"

"Hey, look at what you said, although my Wang Lao Kou knocked on the door a little, but this old brother has a fate with me! The old man in the back had a loud voice.

The corners of the old man's mouth also hooked up a smile of relief.

Qin Mubai sighed in his heart, my uncle, this person has never taken a stitch from the masses in his life, this life has passed, even counting today, I am afraid that he will accept your three catties of pork!

Leaving the vegetable market, when he arrived at the car, the old man handed the meat in his hand to Qin Mubai, and said with a smile: "These three catties of meat are troublesome Xiao Qin, you help me put them, I will take them away when I leave, these three catties of meat represent that the efforts of our generation have not been in vain, and it represents the wish that we have worked hard for a lifetime come true." ”

PS: Actually, I thought about it for a long time, I still wrote it, I know I posted it yesterday, and many people will worry about whether I am still there. So I'm fortunate to have a little bit of a manuscript in my hand.

PPs: Number two, I'm alive.
