Chapter 59: The Crossroads

It was at an intersection, on the right corner, two people.

One is that both lower limbs are bent at 90 degrees, and one of the upper limbs is also broken by one wrist, lying on a straw mat, the whole body is very dirty, black and not slippery, and the specific age cannot be seen.

His eyes were closed, probably sleeping, and there was a tear in the corner of his eye.

The other was an elderly woman, on her knees, with her hands propped on the ground, crying in a low voice.

Next to her, there was a wooden board with a piece of red paper pasted on it, and some words were written to the effect that her son was suffering from a strange illness and could not take care of himself, and asked for help from well-wishers.

In front of her was a stainless steel basin containing a few banknotes and coins in one or five pieces.

They were at the crossroads, the place with the greatest flow of people, and there were many people who came and went through them, most of them in a hurry, ignoring their presence.

There are also a few people, with pity, who throw a few pieces of change at them.

"What are you looking at?" Gong Linyue looked curiously at them, and when she saw two begging people, her brows furrowed.

"Don't pity them. She said, "No one knows, whether it's true or not? ”

"Since people come out to beg, there is always a reason. ”

"If you really can't eat enough, you can go to shelters and welfare homes, where others dare not guarantee that you can eat and sleep, and the state has allocated funds every year.

Since they didn't go, there must be a reason, and who knows what. ”

"That makes sense. Luo Chen nodded, "I have a relative in my hometown, who is lazy to eat, can't marry a daughter-in-law, and doesn't have a job, so he is idle all day long."

However, the village rated him as a five-guarantee household, and he can receive a subsistence allowance and other guarantees, and he can get a few hundred yuan every month, and it is no problem to eat enough.

His house has become a dilapidated house, and he has applied to his superiors to rebuild it, so he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Therefore, if there are no other reasons, it is generally not possible to come out to beg, like in ancient times, selling one's body to bury one's father is not popular. ”

"Unless, begging, can you get more benefits?" Huang Rong said softly.

"I don't know," Gong Linyue shook her head, "No one cares." ”

"Then let's walk around here, I'm interested. ”

"Are you interested in this?" Gong Linyue and the others were surprised.

"I'm sorry, Sister Rong likes to get to the bottom of everything, I'm sorry to trouble you, why don't we find a place around here to rest." ”

Luo Chen explained.

What a strange interest, Gong Linyue muttered in her heart, but she still agreed, took them, sat down at a snack bar across the street, ordered drinks and snacks, and chatted slowly.

Huang Rong sat by the window, listening to their chat, interjecting from time to time, while observing the two people opposite.

The three of them are all studying in Yangcheng, and they have a lot in common with each other.

Gong Linyue said that their study life and interesting club activities at Yangcheng University, Yao Yingxue became the person she made the most fun of.

"You may not know that Xue'er is in school, but she is called a princess, and there are many suitors, but she can't look down on any of them.

One of the most infatuated suitors, from freshman to senior, has persevered, and every Girls' Day, Valentine's Day, and Christmas, he will send gifts on time and invite them to celebrate the festival together, but Cher has never agreed.

The funniest thing is that before graduation, he ran downstairs to the girls' dormitory and made a romantic candlelight confession, but I went down with a basin of water and extinguished all the candles. ”

Yao Yingxue didn't get angry because of her words, she just pursed her lips and chuckled.

"That boy is a little pitiful," Luo Chen shook his head, "His problem is not infatuation, nor in the way of perseverance, but in not recognizing reality, thinking that only perseverance can always move girls, which is a bit self-righteous."

If he can recognize the reality and change his goals, with his character, he will definitely be able to find a good girlfriend.

Of course, it's not too late. ”

He thought of himself, why wasn't it like this, when he pursued Su Lingxuan, he was just as crazy, and the people in her dormitory became good friends, which illustrated this situation.

It's just that I bravely confessed, and after being rejected, I understood the impossibility of being with her, and chose to let go, so that there was no embarrassment for each other, and when we met again, we could also become friends.

If I were like this boy, I believe it would be the same result.

Luo Chen also talked to them about his college life, roommates with different characteristics, intense study, and colorful internship and internship life.

"You must have a girlfriend for such a good boy, right?"

"This," Luo Chen spread his hands helplessly, "Perhaps, only you have discovered my excellence, in fact, I was rejected by a girl."

Then, there is no other story, and my college life is not as colorful as you think. ”

"I think that girl will regret it in the future. Yao Yingxue, who had not spoken, said softly, "It will definitely be." ”

Luo Chen glanced at her in surprise and nodded with her, "Thank you for your affirmation, hopefully, as you said." I'm going to try my best to see her again, so I can tell her that you were wrong to reject me before. ”

"What Cher said, that must be true. Gong Linyue said proudly, "There are not many people who can be praised by her like this." ”

"Then should I be sincerely frightened and flattered? Thank you Lord Xue for your appreciation?"

"Not really. ”

Yao Yingxue covered her mouth and chuckled, but her eyes told Luo Chen that she really thought so.

"So, what is the reason why you gave up your great future as a doctor and chose to go back to the countryside?"

"Actually, I don't want to. Luo Chen smiled bitterly, "It's just that I offended someone who shouldn't be offended, and as a result, the hospitalization index was removed."

Fortunately, my friends and I came up with a new drug, sold it for a little money, and then I thought about going back to the countryside to start my own business and engage in herbal cultivation. ”

"Wow, you're amazing. Gong Linyue exclaimed.

"I can only say that I am lucky. Luo Chen shrugged, "The future is still unknown, but as long as you work hard, there is always a way to go, this is a beautiful era." ”

"We're still worried about that. ”

"In contrast, I have a lot of confidence in you. ”

The four of them sat here for a long time and chatted a lot, and their relationship with each other has made a lot of progress, and they have become good friends, exchanging phone numbers with each other, and adding WeChat and other contact information.

"The person on the other side has indeed made a lot of money. Huang Rong, who hadn't spoken much, said suddenly.
