053 Put away your cheap sympathy
They get up early in the morning, and the farm workers rarely rest, most of them have not yet gotten up, and occasionally the roofs of a few houses have smoke rising in the curl, adding a touch of warmth to this cold winter morning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw two gray-haired old men coming over, it was the two old comrades, the shopkeeper Zhu and the shopkeeper Zhou, each of whom was carrying a bundle of firewood, staggering on his back, as if he might fall down at any time.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Xu, why did you come to chop wood so early?" Shen Jiaxing opened his mouth to say hello.
Seeing the miserable situation of the two fellows now, his heart was not very comfortable, and several times he couldn't help but want to open his mouth and let these two people join their team together, but in the end he was ruthless.
Although he is not familiar with Shopkeeper Zhu and Shopkeeper Zhou, he also has a little understanding after this contact, neither of them is a bad person, but he really can't talk to him.
The Shen family is actually not an authentic Haishi person, they moved from the north, and the time they moved here was not too long, only a few decades of hard work, and Shen Jiaxing's childhood was also spent in the north, so although Shen Jiaxing is a shrewd businessman, he also has the boldness and atmosphere of the northerners.
Of course, this is not to say that southerners are not bold and stingy, relatively speaking, most southerners have a much more detailed personality, and their minds should be more delicate, there is a saying that is not like this, the nine-headed bird in the sky, the HB guy on the ground, ten HB guys are not as good as a JX old watch, readers don't get me wrong, this saying is definitely not a derogatory meaning.
It's a bit far-fetched, and then again, Shen Jiaxing has the boldness of the people in the north in his bones, the so-called gathering of like things, and the friends he loves to make are naturally refreshing and neat.
For example, Gu Chen, a rich boy, optimistic, cheerful, enthusiastic and not pretentious, Zhao Si, although he has few words, he is a simple person, Qian Wenliang, although he is a sour showman, but in fact he is not sour at all, and his scholarly anger is not too heavy, which is still within the scope of Shen Jiaxing's acceptance, as for Wu Boda, it goes without saying, how can a general who can command thousands of troops and horses be a person who is a child?
However, Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Zhu are extremely shrewd, typical small businessmen's philistines, in the local dialect of Haishi, they only enter but do not leave, and they guard their roots very firmly, and they are not very different from the shrewdness of Accountant Wang.
Accountant Wang adheres to the principle of 'I don't take advantage of you, and you don't want to take advantage of me', and he usually goes alone, never talks to Xu Qiao and the director of the sales department, and doesn't even say a word.
Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Zhu are 'I should take advantage of you, but you shouldn't take advantage of me', especially when they are working, they are vividly expressed, and a lot of heavy work is done by Wu Boda, but the two of them are lazy on the side.
Of course, it is understandable to seek benefits for himself, but he just doesn't see it very much, and he thinks that even if these two people are pitiful and miserable, he doesn't help them, after all, no one dares to guarantee that the two of them are not Zhongshan wolves!
There is Jiaojiao, he doesn't dare to test people's hearts, and he can't afford to try!
Shopkeeper Zhou and Shopkeeper Zhu saw that it was them, their eyes flashed with surprise, Shopkeeper Zhu sighed, and said, "Well, this week it's my turn to collect firewood with Lao Zhou, and the two of us can only carry it if we can't move on our backs." β
After speaking, the two of them sighed for a long time, and there were tears in their eyes, which was unbearable.
Gu Chen is a person who is easy to be soft-hearted, but he feels that these two people are too pitiful, and when he was about to open his mouth to say, 'Chai He will fight in the future', Shen Jiao suddenly shouted loudly: "Uncle Gu, I can't walk." β
Being interrupted by Shen Jiao like this, Gu Chen immediately closed his mouth, turned his head and smiled at Shen Jiao and joked: "Who bragged about being able to move around just now?" β
Although he said this, Gu Chen hugged Shen Jiao on his back very quickly, and his back was smooth and steady.
Although Gu Chen didn't carry her for the first time, Shen Jiao was still really uncomfortable with being carried by a man, if she hadn't been able to think of a good way for a while, she wouldn't have used this bad excuse!
It turned out that Shen Jiao could see at a glance that Gu Chen was feeling compassion for the two people in front of him, so he tried to interrupt him, so as not to cause two big troubles for this guy.
Although she didn't have Shen Jiaxing's poisonous eyesight and recognized the essence of Zhou and Zhu, her bloody lesson on the road to exile made her understand a truth, don't sympathize with others casually, especially when you yourself are in a miserable situation.
In her previous life, when she was first exiled, she was naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, and sometimes when she saw some people in miserable circumstances, she would try to help them, and even give her few rations to those she thought were pitiful, and she would also give some medicine to those who were sick.
But just before her grandfather died, when she wanted to drink a mouthful of broth, she went everywhere to find meat but found nothing, until she saw a family that caught a mouse and was cooking soup, so she cheekily went forward to ask for a small bowl of soup, but was ruthlessly beaten out by this family.
Obviously, the life of the male owner of this family was saved by the medicine she gave her, and she even saved a lot of nests for them to eat before, just because the mistress and children of this family always pretended to be pitiful in front of her.
At that time, the fourth uncle said that she would regret it sooner or later, but the grandfather asked the fourth uncle not to scold her, and said that she would understand one day.
She did understand later, but at that time, the fourth uncle was gone, and the grandfather was gone!
So she must stop Gu Chen, she can't let Gu Chen make the same mistake as her, and the most important thing is not to affect her and her grandfather!
Zhou Zhu and the others waited for a long time without waiting for a word of help, and they were disappointed and sighed.
Shopkeeper Zhou saw a few people moving out of the whole family, with doubts on his face, and couldn't help but ask: "...... are you?" β
Gu Chen's mouth quickly opened again, and Wu Boda said with a smile: "Xiao Jiaojiao said that she hadn't had a picnic for a long time, so let's accompany the little girl to the mountain for a picnic and let her be happy." β
Shen Jiao nodded cooperatively, pretending to be a little girl who didn't know the difficulties of the world, blinking her big eyes and saying, "When I used to go to school, my classmates and I would go to the park for a picnic, which was very fun. β
Shopkeeper Zhu glanced at the beautiful little girl who was white and pure, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Your belly can't be filled, do you still have the strength to go to the picnic?" It's really ......"
Shopkeeper Zhou is a bit more shrewd, focusing on the picnic, or rather on the food.
"What are you doing on a picnic?"
These people work as if they don't have strength, they want to die and do it alive, it doesn't look like they are gnawing on pickles every day, but like eating dragon meat every day, or where else can they get such a good spirit?
The director of the sales department always said that a group of them secretly cooked meat to eat, and said that he smelled the aroma of meat.
The crux of the matter is, where does their meat come from?
More importantly, why not take out the meat and share it?
It's so selfish!
