For Lan Renyi, the nickname Lan Doudou is destined to follow him from his hometown in Henan to the magic capital of Shanghai.

The cute name added to his color, and after he learned Mandarin, he was transferred from the hard-working little bee in the back kitchen to the lobby of the restaurant to become a waiter. Here you can see all kinds of men and women in the city. His eyes were full of eagerness to learn. He voraciously read all kinds of practical books and periodicals, and learned about computers and mobile phones. I hope that one day I can have an Apple MAC and a local tyrant gold 5S.

However, the tight salary made him feel that this thing was very luxurious.

The salary is more than 2,000 yuan a month, although the restaurant is in charge of food and housing. But to buy a piece of clothing, to buy some daily necessities, it costs hundreds. And the restaurant is not very tasty, and there is less meat. Sometimes he goes to open meat by himself, and it costs more than a hundred. Therefore, in the two months he came, he only saved 2,000 yuan. For him, this is a guarantee for himself to survive in this city.

With this money, his back does not have to be stiff, and he no longer has to keep his head down. He can hold his head high and tell this Shanghai that Lao Tzu will not starve to death here.

But he also knew that two thousand yuan was the price of a dog and a cat here. He had seen many city dwellers bring their cats and dogs to eat in the restaurant, and they affectionately called these brute sons and daughters. At the beginning, he wondered, if he called a dog his son, wouldn't he be a dog himself? Later, he learned that the sons and daughters of these old men were all abroad and had no time to come back to see them.

So, Lan Renyi cursed those people viciously: "Sure enough, it's not as good as a dog, your parents raised you so big, and you don't know how to accompany your parents." ”

However, after hearing that those who are abroad can take tens of thousands of euros a month. If he is decisive, he will shut up and not speak, he can't even earn yuan, let alone euros?

"Doudou, a crab roe bun." The little girl at the bar was calling him, Lan Renyi quickly let go of his illusions, quickly went to the back kitchen and brought over a crab roe bun, and handed it to an old Shanghai woman who often eats here. This is an old woman, often dragging Lan Renyi to chat, at first Lan Renyi couldn't understand the old woman's Shanghainese, after a long time, she could vaguely chat with the old woman for a while.

"Granny Alain, Nong's crab roe bun, Nong is fine." Lan Renyi put down the crab roe bun and chatted with the old woman familiarly, and fluently spoke Shanghainese to make the old woman laugh and open her eyes. Nong's okay means that you're okay? At first, Lan Renyi didn't understand, but he listened a lot, and when he saw it, he learned it, and slowly he could say that it had a Shanghai flavor.

After chatting with Alain's mother-in-law for a long time, Lan Renyi went to work again.

After he had finished his meal, he was ready to eat, and the restaurant served the simplest meals of rice porridge and steamed buns. and the leftover buns from the customers, but the mother-flavored buns are delicious, and the customers generally choose to take them away and don't leave them behind. Lan Renyi worked hard for a long time, drank two bowls of porridge in one go, and ate two steamed buns. But he still felt that he couldn't eat enough, but he thought that he would be paid in two days, and then he would go to eat braised pork. As soon as he thought of braised pork, Lan Renyi felt that the steamed rice porridge was tasteless, so he went out to work.

He didn't expect Granny Alan to still sit there and not leave, Lan Renyi went up to chat with Granny Alain, but Granny Alan took out a hundred yuan, put it in Lan Renyi's hand and said, "Nong is okay." ”

With that, Granny Alain left. Lan Renyi looked at the tip in his hand and put it in his pocket excitedly. He didn't give it back to Granny Alain, who thought to himself that he would be able to eat meat tonight. Thinking of this, his saliva flowed. After getting off work in the evening, Lan Renyi got two catties of braised pork, returned to his residence and poured a cup of hot tea, drank tea and ate meat.

However, he was also an open-minded man, so he dropped his chopsticks, took out the chess he had brought from his hometown, and brought the chessboard from the side. Put the pieces on and play chess against yourself. Some of his co-workers can play chess, but Lan Renyi is reluctant to play with them. Because he felt that would be an insult to his intelligence, and he never told anyone that he could play chess.

It seems that after he arrived in Shanghai, he lost this hobby.

After playing chess for two hours, it was already two o'clock in the evening. Lan Renyi took a casual shower and fell asleep on the bed. When I woke up the next day, it was eight o'clock in the morning. Before he could see the time, he rushed out of the house. When I arrived at the store, I was lucky not to be late. Breakfast was noodle soup, and Lan Renyi ate a belly of meat last night, looked at the white noodles, and didn't want to eat them, so he didn't eat them.

He was busy day in and day out, almost the same day I decided to do it. An old man came to this shop, and after the old man came in, he walked to Lan Renyi's neighborhood and asked Lan Renyi for a mother's original soup dumpling. Lan Renyi asked the old man to sit down and served the old man the original soup dumplings. After doing this, Lan Renyi continued to be busy, while the old man ate the buns slowly. The old man sat for three hours, and Lan Renyi didn't come over to urge.

After eating, the old man told Lan Renyi that he had forgotten to bring the money.

Lan Renyi had a headache, this bun cost more than 30 yuan. His salary is only sixty yuan a day, and if he is out for the old man, then today will be in vain. Lan Renyi looked at the old man, and said helplessly: "Then I will pay for you, you go back and send it to me, if you don't send it to me, I will never help others pay in the future, whether you hope that there is one less good person in this society, or do you want one more person in this society who is unkind and unrighteous and the world is cold, it all depends on you." ”

After saying this, Lan Renyi couldn't help but snicker, sighing that his eloquence was fucking good.

The old man nodded in agreement.

So Lan Renyi paid the money very happily and looked forward to the old man's visit again.

But......

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

A week has passed, and the old man has not come. Lan Renyi was very hurt, thirty yuan, I can eat a Henan braised noodles. Grass, just send it out for nothing. Lan Renyi, who was already small-minded, couldn't wait to find the old man's ancestral grave and dig it. Today is another day of salary, and Deputy Director Ma of the senior management team of Mamawei inspected Lan Renyi's store.

praised Lan Renyi by name and gave him an extra salary of 500 yuan. After Lan Renyi got his salary, he couldn't be excited. He didn't notice that when Ma Xiaodan saw his excited appearance, the corners of his eyes were a little red. Once, wasn't she like Lan Renyi now? Ma Xiaodan deliberately left Lan Renyi here and ignored it, just like me. But after all, she is working in the mother's flavor, and she no longer cares about it, and she also knows the current situation of Lu Daolan Renyi's survival.

The five hundred yuan is almost a kind of atonement for Ma Xiaodan in disguise.

The money was given to Lan Renyi, and Lan Renyi immediately decided to take a day off.

Ma Xiaodan didn't ask him why he was doing.

In the evening, Lan Renyi spent 100 yuan at the night market to buy a brand new set of clothes. Early the next morning, Lan Renyi got on the bus he wanted to take for a few months. After three transfers and two hours, Lan Renyi finally arrived at the legendary Guanghua University. Coming to the building engraved with 'Sun and Moon Glory, Dan Fu Dan Xi', Lan Renyi's small eyes opened wide.

He came here to look for his sister.

Lan Huixin, a freshman at Guanghua University.

Lan Renyi inquired all the way and found the finance department where his sister worked. But the finance department is so big, where does he go to find his sister? Lan Renyi had no choice but to ask if she knew Lan Huixin, she was a freshman this year. After questioning forty-five people, Lan Renyi finally asked Lan Huixin in the forty-sixth person. And this boy was also very enthusiastic to help Lan Renyi contact Lan Huixin, Lan Renyi had mixed feelings, my sister didn't know that Lu Dao came to Shanghai by herself, and she didn't know that Lu Dao's grandfather died.

I finally have time to see my sister now, and I am excited.

Lan Huixin!

People are not as good as their names. Where can a girl from the countryside be beautiful? Like Ma Xiaodan, he is already a demon in the countryside. What's more, it is Lan Renyi's family, which is inferior to Ma Xiaodan. Lan Huixin is a rural girl with steel braces, outdated clothes, and two big braids. Seeing his sister, Lan Renyi almost didn't cry. Lan Huixin was so surprised, ignoring the surprised eyes of the people around her, she rushed over and hugged her brother, touched and looked back and forth, and said, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

Lan Renyi's tears couldn't stop flowing, Lan Huixin took Lan Renyi to the school cafeteria, and after the two sat down. Lan Renyi told Lan Huixin the news of his grandfather's death, and after Lan Huixin heard it, her eyes were red and her throat was a little choked. Lan Renyi was heartless, he said: "When grandpa left, I sent it, and he left very peacefully, without any pain at all." I have someone to take care of in Shanghai now, that is the Hao Ren you often say, he found me a job, a lot of money every month, and I will come to see you every day when I come back. Our sisters and brothers will take root in Shanghai in the future, and they will never go back to the poor ravine. When you have money, you will go back and renovate the tomb for your grandfather, use the largest green bricks, make the most magnificent grave for your grandfather, and make a stone tablet......"

Lan Renyi talked eloquently, but Lan Hui's tears couldn't stop flowing down.

A few little sisters with iPhones next to them looked at this strange pair of rural siblings and were dumbfounded. The countryside and the city are like being separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Lan Huixin took a deep breath, looked at Lan Renyi with resolute eyes and said, "Brother, did grandpa say anything before leaving?" ”

Lan Renyi raised his face and thought for a long time, and said: "He said to me, I am younger than you, but I am a man, so I have to break through first, I want to take care of you, and don't let others bully you." In fact, I don't need to say this, I also know that no matter where you are, even if it is Zhongnanhai, as long as others dare to bully you, I dare to carry a knife and cut it. Who made me your brother, we're horizontal, what's wrong? ”——
