The beard thought for a while and said, "Then I'll tell you a story first, let's talk about it first, this story is also told by others, don't lean on my head." ”

Under the urging of everyone, the beard finally put on a deep look, and then spoke in his slightly silly and low voice: "What's the most corny conversation you've ever heard?

The person who said this was an 80-year-old man. At that time, I was working in a restaurant, and when I was serving, I saw an old man talking to an old lady of the same age. The old lady replied, "Then who do I look like?" and the old man said, "My wife." "I didn't expect to be so old! It's so old and improper, it's really obscene!

The old lady was also angry, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, I have an old wife." Get up and leave.

The old man was not dead, so he hurriedly stopped the old lady and said, "Don't go yet, listen to me tell a story, it is the story of our time." Out of curiosity, the old lady sat down.

The old man said, "I have a little hair called Zhuzi, who was only 15 years old at the time. There was nothing to eat in those days, so the pillar shot a pigeon with a slingshot and brought it back to stew soup. As a result, Liu Xiaomei from the next village ran over and panicked, something should have happened at home. ”

The pillar said, "Big sister, don't worry, let's drink the soup first." ”

Liu Xiaomei took a sip of soup and finally calmed down. Then she said, "Have you seen my pigeons?"

The pillar was so frightened that he did not dare to tell her the truth, so he comforted her and said, "Don't be sad, the pigeon must be lost, and will be back in a few days." ”

The next day, Liu Xiaomei came again and suddenly saw a white thing flying in the sky.

Liu Xiaomei said in surprise: "Ah, my pigeon!"

The pillar said embarrassedly, "That's my white pants, blown away by the wind." ”

The little sister sighed, her eyes darkened. Seeing the little sister like this, the pillar felt even more guilty, so he burned a potato for her.

Every day that followed, the little sister would come to her pigeons, and the pillar would make something to soothe her every time, and the little sister would eat very contentedly every time. The pillar began to look forward to cooking for the little sister, and when he liked the little sister, he felt even more guilty.

One day, as soon as the little sister entered the door, she saw the pillar standing in the courtyard waiting for her.

The pillar excitedly shouted: "Little sister, your pigeon has flown back!"

Before the little sister could reply, the pillar took out a gray dove from behind her.

The little sister said, "My pigeons are white. ”

The pillar said, "The sun is so poisonous these days, it must be that your white dove has been tanned." ”

The little sister shouted: "You are stupid to me!"

In desperation, the pillar had no choice but to recruit, admitting that the pigeon was eaten by him, and he was willing to compensate her.

Xiaomei said, "Then you can cook for me for the rest of your life." ”

So, they began to deal with the object. After a few years of marriage, Zhu Zi learned that Xiaomei had been lying to him. The pigeon was originally intended to be eaten by the little sister, but before it could be killed, it flew away. When the little sister drank the bowl of soup, she knew that it was her own pigeon, but the pillar's cooking skills were too good.

- Later, she pretended to look for pigeons every day, but in fact she ate and drank, and she fell in love with the pillars. She pretended to be waiting for the pigeon, but in fact she was waiting for the pillar to be attracted to her, and she had waited.

......

The old man looked at the old lady and asked, "How is my story?"

The old lady said, "I'm hungry to hear it." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you another story." ”

Fifty years ago, I had a co-worker named Kodaka. He is the best technician in the factory. His girlfriend's name is Fang Fang. There are a total of five golden flowers in our factory, and Fangfang is the sixth. Xiao Gao is in the second workshop, and Fang Fang is in the third workshop. The relationship between the two of them is very good, and it is difficult to endure if they don't see each other for a minute. For them, across a workshop, it's like a long-distance relationship.

Xiao Gao made up his mind to become the workshop director, so that he could freely shuttle between the two workshops and see Fangfang at all times. So Xiao Gao began to work hard, and after many days and nights, the organization finally saw his efforts.

- So, he was sent to the northwest to support the construction.

This is over, and they really have become a long-distance relationship. When he left, Xiao Gao asked Fangfang to wait for him for two years, and then they would get married. As a result, Xiao Gao went to the northwest before entering the staff dormitory, and was taken into the desert by the organization to join a confidential project. Since then, he has cut off contact with the outside world.

That's four years. Four years later, as soon as Xiao Gao returned to the staff dormitory, he saw that the bed was full of letters, all of which were Fangfang.

Letter 1, "Comrade Kodaka, I miss you very much......"

.......

The 19th letter, "Comrade Xiao Gao, I found a food stall on Jiefang Road, it tastes very good, and when you come back, we will go to eat together......"

.......

The 38th letter, "Comrade Xiao Gao, why haven't you replied to the letter, have you developed a fighting friendship with other female comrades, and I will also go to develop and develop with Xiao Li in the next workshop......"

The 39th letter, "Comrade Xiao Gao, the last letter was my act of anger, it was all a lie to you, and I had no contact with Comrade Xiao Li at all. ”

Xiao Gao opened the letter in a fief, and cried and laughed when he saw it.

But he took out the last letter: "Comrade Xiao Gao, my mother introduced me to someone, if you don't come back before the National Day this year, I will have to marry him......"

Xiao Gao was in a cold sweat, it was now mid-October, and it had been two weeks since the National Day. He immediately went to catch the train, and it took him two days to return to his hometown. He rushed directly to Fangfang's house, and she was not there. Yes, she's married. Dejected, he went to the food stall that Fang Fang had mentioned. He ordered a bowl of noodles and cried as he ate it.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. It was Fangfang, and she was looking at him with a smile. Later, Xiao Gao learned that Fangfang would come here every day to wait for him. On the day of the National Day, Xiao Gao did not show up again, and Fangfang swore that she would never come here again. And she came anyway.

When there was only one wall between them, she couldn't survive a minute or a second, and when there were thousands of mountains and rivers between them, she survived four years. She waited for him to come back, and she waited.

......

The old man said, "My story is over." ”

The old lady nodded and said, "What a good story, is there anything else?"

The old man continued, "Then let me tell you the story of an old husband and wife." ”

The man's name is Lao Wu...... Lao Wu and his wife have been married for 40 years, and in order to celebrate their wedding anniversary, their son signed up for a tour group for them to go to the United States. Lao Wu was very excited, he practiced English every day, and his wife buried him, and after practicing for two weeks, he only learned three sentences. When they arrived in the United States, the tour guide took them to Times Square for free activities. Lao Wu was very excited, and when he saw a foreigner, he waved and kept saying, "Hello! Hello!

They looked and walked all the way, and Lao Wu asked everything he saw, "How much is this?" This is the second sentence of English that Lao Wu learned.

Lao Wu was showing off his English all the way, walking and walking, but found that his wife was gone. He was terrified, and he looked everywhere. In Times Square, a thin old Asian man, running around the Middle East of tall foreigners, shouting unfamiliar language in his mouth, looks particularly abrupt. He traveled everywhere they went. From the theater to the square, from the square to the mall. When he heard an argument in a shopping mall, he looked ahead and saw that it was his wife.

The wife was in the mall, clinging to a pillar and not letting go, and several tall security guards were standing next to her. Lao Wu rushed up to block his wife, he was very thin, but very strong. The wife grabbed Lao Wu's arm tightly and said excitedly: "Lao Wu!

Lao Wu yelled at the security guard: "Don't touch her!My wife!My wife!" This is the third sentence of English that Lao Wu learned.

It turned out that after the old lady got lost, she stood there until the mall closed. The security guards came to clear the scene, but she still clung to the pillar and refused to leave. Lao Wu is worried and angry, why are you standing here stupidly?

The old lady said, "I don't know the way." I'll just stand silly and wait for you, I know you're going to find me. ”

Yes, she has been standing in place, this is the most stupid waiting, but also the most persistent trust, she waited.

After hearing the story, the old lady was satisfied, so she said goodbye to the old man and went home.

......

I later chatted with the old man, and then I learned that the old man was telling the story of him and the old lady. The pillar in the story is him, Xiao Gao is him, and Lao Wu is also him. And the old lady who just left is called Liu Fangfang. Liu Xiaomei is her, Fangfang is her, and her wife is also her. She was his wife. They met in the countryside when they were in their teens, and when they were in their 20s, they went to the factory together, and then they got married, made an appointment, and they wanted to hold hands for the rest of their lives.

However, the old lady missed the appointment. Three years ago, the old lady suffered from Alzheimer's, and now she doesn't know anyone anymore, and the wife she has been talking about sits in front of her every day, but she can no longer recognize it. The old lady would come to this restaurant every day, and the old man would come here every day to tell her stories about what had happened between them in the past, hoping to make the old lady think of him one day. I cautiously asked, "What if she never remembers?"

The old man said, "For the first half of my life, she was waiting for me, and for the second half of my life, I waited for her." ”

He didn't know how long he would have to wait, but he would keep waiting. "You look like a person. This sentence was actually what the old lady had said to him before. On the day of the reunion, he ate noodles at a stall, crying while eating. Suddenly, a familiar voice came out. "You look like a person. Xiao Gao raised his head and found that it was Fang Fang. Xiao Gao cried even more fiercely, crying and saying, "Like whom?"

Fang Fang said, my husband.

Xiao Gao was stunned for a moment, and Fang Fang continued: "I have already asked the organization for instructions, and the organization has agreed to our marriage, you will go with me tomorrow to go through the formalities, and you are not allowed to run anymore." ”

"You look like a person. "Originally, I thought that this was the most old-fashioned conversation, but I didn't expect it to be the most affectionate confession.

One day, the old lady came as usual and sat down. I counted the time, and the old man was almost there, when the door was pushed open, and it was not him who entered, but a young man, who looked like the old man, and wore a white flower on his chest. He sat across from the old lady. The young man said, "Grandma, let me tell you a story." ”

My heart sank. The old man, rain or shine, sitting in the same position every day, facing the same person, telling the same story, is gone.

He waited for years, waiting for her to look at him with a familiar smile. In the end, however, he did not wait. In this impetuous and fast age, we are really impatient. Instant noodles take 3 minutes, which is too long, and a TV series is 30 minutes, and we have to fast-forward. However, we are willing to spend three or five years, or even a lifetime, waiting for someone. Proust said in "Reminiscences" that even though we know there is no hope, we still look forward to it. Wait for the slightest movement, the slightest sound.

The old lady looked at the young man, and she looked at his face with a confused expression.

"Young man, you look like a man. ”

......

By this point, the story had been told, and everyone felt very heavy in their hearts, but they were moved by something. At this time, Xiao Zhen broke everyone's silence: "Okay, I don't think we need to vote, let's have a drink." ”

Everyone had no objections, and they all took the wine glass and drank it all. "Okay, let's see who laughs at one. ”

Cao An was like an emcee of events, and immediately threw out the sieve in his hand, and then counted the points from his beard: "Oh, it's Sister Zhen." The points of the sieve were just lined up to Li Zhen's position.

Li Zhen smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, I don't have any story, I'd better punish you for drinking." ”

With that, he reached out and took a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

"Gee, that's boring. Cao An said regretfully.

Just as Li Zhen was about to get the second glass of wine, Bai Shuo grabbed the wine glass first and said, "Sister Zhen has drunk two glasses in a row, I'll help her drink the rest." After saying that, he drank a glass, then picked up another glass and drank it in one gulp.

The sieve continued to turn, and according to the number of points, the next one should be Zhang Minxian, Zhang Minxian also looked embarrassed, and the pillar cleared the siege and said, "We still punish the bar." With that, he stretched out his hand to get the wine. Everyone was not happy now, and Cao An was even more unrelenting.

At this time, Minxian stopped the pillar holding the wine glass and said, "Since all the stories heard by the beard count, then I will also tell a story that I encountered." ”

About last year, before the "October 1st", our company launched an activity, the phone bill was charged with 200, and the official website shopping coupon of 200 yuan was given, and the 200 yuan shopping coupon could be purchased on our company's official website after the event, and used as a cash deduction. Our department is in charge of the promotion of this event.

In those days, a young woman had to come to the business hall almost every day to recharge 200-400 yuan for different numbers, and then recharge more than a dozen numbers, and sometimes even more than 30 numbers. After a few days, I roughly calculated that she had recharged about 50,000 yuan for more than 200 numbers, and of course received shopping coupons of the same value at the same time. Then, a few days later, our colleagues found that someone was selling a large number of shopping vouchers for our company, a 200 value shopping coupon, which only sold for about 150 yuan. This situation suddenly appeared, which attracted the attention of the company's leaders, and the things on our company's official website are all very good quality things, and there will definitely be no fakes, but the price is definitely not as favorable as the market, and it is about 10% more expensive than the price of the same items on the market. But if you buy a shopping coupon of 200 yuan for 150 yuan, and then exchange it for the corresponding product in our company, it is still very cost-effective.

So the company's leaders chose to call the police in order to find out about the matter. Soon, the police caught the suspect who sold the company's shopping vouchers, which was the woman who came to recharge the phone bill every day. Later, after interrogation, it was learned that the woman was originally a temporary employee of a small private contracted business hall under our company, but at that time, this activity was directly organized by the head office to the official website activities, so the activities were not delegated to those small private business halls.

According to her, after learning that our company had this activity, she immediately did a survey and learned that many people do not want to buy those products on the official website, because most of them are mobile phones, computers and other expensive electronic products, and the lowest ones are worth thousands of yuan. Even if you have a few hundred shopping coupons, you still need to make up a lot of money yourself, and if you recharge thousands of yuan at one time, you obviously don't think it's cost-effective. However, if you recharge the phone bill and send the same amount of phone bill, everyone will be more willing to accept it.

At the same time, she also learned that there are many people who are not willing to recharge as much as 200 at a time, but if they charge 100, it is still acceptable. So she changed our company's plan by herself, and privately advertised in their business hall to recharge 100 yuan and send 100 yuan in the phone bill, and at the same time, she also went to the community, school, and factory to do publicity. After a few days, the previous effect was achieved.

You may wonder, what is the benefit of her doing this? She actually does this, someone gives her 100 yuan, and she takes out 100 yuan herself to help them top up 200 yuan, and thus completes the promised deal. At the same time, she can get a 200 yuan shopping coupon in our company, which means that she spent 100 yuan in exchange for a 200 yuan shopping coupon in our company. After the event, she looked for those who needed to buy the corresponding products and sell shopping vouchers. Let's see, if you buy a 2000 yuan Motorola mobile phone in our company, you can buy it for only 1800 yuan on the market, but if you buy a 2000 yuan shopping coupon for 1500 yuan, you can just exchange for a same Motorola mobile phone, which is 300 yuan cheaper than the preferential price on the market, and the quality is more guaranteed. As a result, her shopping vouchers sold out quickly. But her 200 yuan shopping coupons can earn 50 yuan each, and 50,000 yuan shopping coupons, she can earn 12,500 yuan. That is to say, in just a few days, she used our company's activities and our company's business hall to earn more than 10,000 yuan by herself.

"This little girl is really a talent!" Bai Shuo said thoughtfully.

"Then what happened to this woman, she won't go to jail, right?" asked Cao An.

Minxian continued: "That's not it, she's just taking advantage of our company's loopholes. Seeing that the matter involved was not serious, the police did not deal with it and let the company deal with it on its own. However, in the end, the company fired her from the business hall and deducted her bonus for the month. ”

"What? Your company actually deducted other people's bonuses and fired such talents. In any case, people can help your company pull a turnover of 50,000 yuan. Liang Ying said with some indignation.

"Hehe, a common problem of your state-owned enterprises. Bai Shuo helped Liang Ying mend the knife.

Minxian was also embarrassed and said: "But the company's leaders insist on dealing with it seriously, and I can't help it." ”

Cao An saw that Minxian was a little embarrassed and immediately said: "Sister-in-law, we don't blame you, you can't do this thing, right." By the way, what's that woman's name?"

"I heard that this woman, her man left her and ran away, and she was alone with the child, which is not easy. It seems to be called Xiao Lin. ”

"Huh? That's a familiar name. Bai Shuo muttered.

Cao An suddenly asked, "Hey, sister-in-law, is it a woman who is about twenty-four or five years old, about one meter six, chubby, and has big breasts?"

Min Xian was stunned for a moment: "Well, it's almost, but it doesn't seem to be fat, it's just that it's plump." ”

Bai Shuo also reflected at this time: "Ah, fat man, you mean that it may be the sales manager of Hongwan?"

"That's right, Brother Geng, it's that big breast, and I've been sending Qiubo to that neighbor for you. ”

"Ahem, people have sent me autumn waves. Bai Shuo was almost suffocated by Cao An's words.

"Well, in fact, this story tells us a truth, that is, if the commodity is lower than the market price, there will be a situation to restore its original value, and now those scalpers who resell tickets, the wool party in the financial market, and the financial analysts, in fact, the same is true. But this story is quite enlightening, I think I can pass it. Bai Shuo hurriedly looked at him left and right, raised the wine glass, and everyone raised the wine glass and drank it all.

At this time, Cao An's sieve was thrown to Liang Ying's points again. Bai Shuo saw that Liang Ying was silent, just taking small sips of wine and sipping, and suddenly said to Liang Ying: "Liang Dashao, I have always thought that you are also a person with a story, after so long, do you want to tell us your own story?"

Liang Ying thought for a moment, then smiled slightly, slowly pushed the empty cup in her hand towards her beard, her eyes gradually became deep, and she looked like "I have a story, do you have wine?"

(In this chapter, I borrowed some stories that I personally liked, and I will use the plot of the novel to share with you here, I hope you like it.) ）
