On this day, Liang Tian, as usual, rode an electric car and ran the way to deliver takeaways.

When I went to a relatively high-end restaurant to pick up takeout, the meal had not yet come out, and Liang Tian encountered such an incident while waiting.

It was a woman who walked out of a luxury car with a full-body brand, a luxury bag, and the latest fruit mobile phone in her hand.

After the woman locked the car with the car key, she walked into the restaurant elegantly, and then said to the waiter at the reception;

"It's the same as before, an afternoon tea set of 888 yuan."

It just so happened that her phone rang at this time, and then she answered.

It was supposed to be her friend on the other end of the line, and after a playful and laughing conversation, she began to show off;

"If you are looking for a man, you still have to find someone who has the right, let me tell you, I am now receiving all kinds of subsidies, and I can pay tens of thousands of dollars a month."

"Yes, you don't have to do anything, just wait to receive the money every month, and you don't have to worry about the house, and I can choose the economic housing in the city."

"Oh, how can those poor ghosts with no background have these good things, tell you, these subsidies are in our hands......"

As she spoke, her meals came up.

So while eating afternoon tea with 888 yuan, she showed off to her friends that she could receive subsidies that should have been given to the poor.

Liang Tian, who was waiting for a take-out order, heard this, although he felt a deep disgust in his heart, he didn't have the energy to care about it for the time being.

After all, I still have to deliver food in a hurry, and it is impossible to stand up and set things right immediately when I encounter every injustice.

However, he still kept this matter in mind, and thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely correct such injustices.

And coincidentally, after Liang Tian was busy delivering orders for the busiest period at noon, he encountered another incident.

It was this incident that made him adjust the priority of this matter, and he didn't even want to be too late for a moment!

The details are like this, Liang Tian was busy until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and there were very few orders.

And on such a hot day, more than two o'clock in the afternoon is the most sultry time, and the temperature is even better than noon.

So at this time, it is often the time for most delivery workers to have lunch, and at the same time they can take a break, otherwise they will not be able to bear it if they run all day.

Just when Liang Tiangang wanted to find a roadside shop with air conditioning and went in for a light meal, he passed by an old man who was selling cucumbers at a roadside stall.

The old man looked really old, his face was full of wrinkles, and there were age spots one by one, and his body was as thin as a handful of dry wood.

An old sack lay on the ground was a simple stall, and the old man sat in the back, and under his buttocks was a small tattered wooden stool that he had made.

He sat like this, guarding the cucumber on his stall, but in the sweltering heat, there were no pedestrians on the road.

can only meet every person who rarely passes by, and the old man raises his face and asks;

"Do you want cucumbers? Point cucumber no? ”

Passers-by saw that the cucumbers on the stalls were of different lengths and crooked, and most of them ignored them and left.

But the old man never gave up, perhaps his only source of income was to sell these cucumbers, and he was reluctant to leave if he didn't sell them all.

When Liang Tian passed by, the old man also asked him;

"Do you want cucumbers?"

It is said that the delivery man has a light meal at noon, takes a break for a while, and continues to deliver takeaway in the afternoon, how can he buy cucumbers, and it is not cumbersome to carry it.

But Liang Tian looked at the old man's expectant eyes, and then looked at the crooked cucumbers of different lengths on the old sack stall.

After thinking for a while, Liang Tian asked;

"Grandpa, this is your own family, how much is a catty?"

When the old man heard someone asking for a price, he quickly answered;

"One five pounds, it's grown by your own family, it's not good-looking, but it's delicious, you have a taste first, it's not delicious and you don't need money."

As he spoke, the old man had already picked up a cucumber, washed it with the green water in the bucket next to him, and handed it to Liang Tian.

Liang Tian didn't hesitate, took it and took a bite.

Click!

The mouth is crisp and sweet, and it is indeed the taste that I grew at home when I was a child.

And on such a hot day, a cucumber can quench your thirst and cool off, which is much stronger than a drink.

So, Liang Tian nodded and said;

"Then you can pack it all for me, I want it all."

Hearing this, the old man was stunned for a moment, and then asked tentatively;

"All wanted? That...... Something else do you want or not? ”

I saw that there was a very old pedal tricycle behind the old man, the body was rusty everywhere, and there was a new sack in the body.

Looking at the bulging appearance of the sack, it is indeed the appearance of some cucumbers, which should be about the same as the amount on the stall.

Seeing this, Liang Tian still didn't think much about it, and nodded;

"Yes, all of them, weigh them all for me."

Hearing this, the old man showed a rare happy smile.

Maybe happiness is so simple for him, and selling the cucumbers he brought out as soon as possible is the greatest happiness.

When the old man was taking the cucumber in the tricycle, Liang Tian chatted with him;

"Grandpa, how old are you?"

The old man replied while busy with the work in his hands;

"Eighty-six."

Liang Tian continued to ask; "What time do you come to set up your stall every day?"

Old man; "I got up at five o'clock, and I got up at six o'clock, and there were seven or eight miles to go."

LIANG Tian; "It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon, have you eaten?"

Old man; "I came to drink a bowl of water in the morning, and there was no food at home, so I came to sell some cucumbers and buy some rice to eat."

LIANG Tian; "Is there anyone else in the house?"

Old man; "There is also a wife, who is also in her eighties, she can't walk on her legs, and she can only lie in bed every day."

At this point, the old man had already packed up all the cucumbers.

Hang it up with that old-fashioned scale, adjust it quickly, and give it a lot higher, and the scale is obviously a lot higher than the cucumber.

The old man looked carefully at the scale on the scale, and spoke;

"Eight and a half catties, let's count it as eight catties, twelve dollars."

Liang Tian looked at the big bag full of cucumbers, and felt that it must be more than eight and a half catties, close to nine catties.

But he didn't say anything, taking out his wallet and carrying some cash on his body was a habit that Liang Tian had always had.

took out a ticket for 100 yuan and handed it over directly.

"Grandpa, give."

When the old man saw this red ticket for 100 yuan, his hands subconsciously shrank back, and he trembled;

"Oops! I can't find such a big ticket. ”

Liang Tian smiled, forced the ticket into the old man's hand, and then said;

"If you can't find it, you won't look for it, you just have it."

The old man held the ticket and immediately shook his head;

"That's not good, as much as you want, you wait."

As he spoke, the old man took the ticket and went to a small shop next to him, found the boss, and said;

"Please change the change."

The owner of the small shop was stunned when he looked at the ticket of 100 yuan, and then shook his head and smiled;

"Who still uses cash now, it's all mobile payment, and I don't have any change, so I can't find it."

Liang Tian hurried over, pulled the old man back, and said;

"Grandpa, come back, you really don't need to look for it."

But the old man was quite stubborn, and said firmly;

"Gotta find, gotta find, too much to give."

Liang Tian had a direct showdown;

"Actually, I just saw that you were old and not easy, so I deliberately wanted to give you more."

Hearing this, the old man laughed;

"It's not easy, it's not good, we can't take this money that shouldn't be taken."

Hearing this, Liang Tian's heart suddenly shook, and he couldn't help but think of what he had just encountered from a high-end restaurant.

So, after a moment's hesitation, he asked the old man;

"Grandpa, you are so old, you still have to sell cucumbers to earn some money to buy food."

"Is your family so difficult, and there is no place to give you some subsidy or something? I have heard that there are subsidies for people over the age of 80 in the village. ”

The old man waved his hand and said;

"If there is no subsidy, how can there be a subsidy, but now it's weird, I don't have to pay public food."

"In the past, the family couldn't eat or drink, and they had to pay public food, but now it's good to blame if you don't ask us......"

After hearing this, Liang Tian's heart became even more sour.

Yes, old people like this age have paid public food to the state when they were young.

In the most difficult times of the country, it was they who supported the whole country, but now that they are old, they do not even receive a little subsidy.

But Liang Tian also understands that it is not that the state does not give them subsidies, but that their subsidies have been impersonated and corrupted by some people!

is like the woman in the high-end restaurant, driving a luxury car, living in an economic house, and eating afternoon tea for 888 yuan.

But such a person's luxurious life does not know how many people's happy lives have to be sacrificed to maintain.

Thinking of this, Liang Tian secretly clenched his fists, and had already made a decision in his heart.

However, before that, he put all the more than eight catties of cucumbers he bought on his electric car.

Then he didn't leave immediately, but helped the old man close the stall and went to the butcher shop next to him to buy meat. m..

"Boss, take the freshest piece of meat."

The boss pointed to a piece and asked;

"How much."

Liang Tian looked at the large piece of meat without hesitation;

"It's all about it."

The boss immediately weighed it, more than five catties, more than eighty yuan.

When the old man next to him saw it, he hurriedly went to pay for it, and said it in his mouth;

"Then you can find money."

But Liang Tian stopped the old man from paying, quickly scanned the code to pay, and then put the meat into the old man's tricycle.

"Grandpa, you see that you are so thin, you have to eat something good, don't be reluctant to eat, you can take this meat."

The old man looked at the meat in the car body, burst into tears, and muttered in his mouth;

"I haven't eaten meat for several years, and my wife has wanted to eat meat for a long time......"

In the end, Liang Tian saw that the shoes on the old man's feet were torn, and pulled him into a store that sold shoes.

A pair of ordinary black sneakers, which are suitable for the elderly.

But when he heard that a pair of shoes cost one or two hundred dollars, he immediately said;

"I'll take it off."

Liang Tian still stopped it, and the old man bargained with the clerk again;

"Is it okay to pay twenty dollars? Thirty at most, I don't want to ...... more"

But the old man didn't know, how could there be bargaining in the store, and the clerk smiled awkwardly.

In the end, Liang Tian paid the money directly, and when he separated from the old man, the old man wanted to return the 100 yuan to him.

How could Liang Tian accept it, let the old man take the money, wear new shoes, and hurry home with meat.

The old man kept thanking him as he left, pushing the tricycle step by step and turning back.

Liang Tian watched the old man leave, his nose was always sour, he inhaled, and said to himself secretly;

"Subsidies only make sense to give to those who really need them!"
