Yun Lin squatted on the side of the road, holding the cloud scenery and the bamboo tube filled with maltose in his arms, and looked at the pedestrians on the road eagerly. He was wearing patched coarse cloth clothes and a pair of straw sandals under his feet, which were still muddy.
He looks like a poor person who has been abandoned by life.
After squatting on the roadside for almost half an hour, no one even came forward to ask. Instead, the vendor selling sugar next to him made a few sales. Yunlin was envious, and his old face was frowning and wrinkled.
Getting deeper and deeper.
He had never sold high-end goods like candy, so he came to this street reluctantly. No one cared about it at the moment, and he didn't know what to do.
He was a little unwilling to leave in despair, but waiting was not an option.
Yunjing saw it in front of his eyes and was anxious in his heart. If it were him, no one would ask, he would either take the initiative to shout, or simply go to stores that look rich and actively sell them, so that he can always find someone to buy candy.
people.
However, it was obvious that as an honest farmer, no need to guess Yunjing knew that his grandfather could not lose face and did not have the courage to do so. His inferiority complex as a member of the lower class prevented him from taking that step.
Looking up at the sky, although the weather today is not a clear sky, it can be said that the sun is shining brightly.
It was when the sun was high in the sky that Yunjing felt his stomach. He was hungry.
The milk he drank before going out in the morning was almost digested by now, and his stomach was almost growling, but Yunlin didn't seem to realize that Yunjing needed to eat at this moment.
He could find a way to sell the candy slowly, but Yunjing didn't want to treat himself badly when he was hungry. After all, it was the time when he was growing up, and although his family was not in a good situation, he wouldn't be able to eat even a little baby like himself in the town.
can not afford.
So Yun Jing raised his head and said proactively: "Grandpa, I'm hungry..."
Yun Lin, who was frowning, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he realized what he was saying, "Is your grandson hungry?"
In the past, Yunjing's personal hygiene and eating issues were all taken care of by Jiang Susu. He had never worried about it. Now that he was suddenly faced with this problem, he really didn't know what to do.
"I'm hungry..." Yunjing rubbed his belly and looked at him eagerly.
This made Yunlin feel very distressed, so he didn’t care about selling the candy. He quickly stood up and said, “Let’s go, grandpa will take you to get something to eat.”
It's one thing that he hasn't experienced it, but after all, he is a person who has lived for decades, and he is not unable to think of a solution when faced with the problem of his grandson being hungry.
"Okay", Yun Jing nodded and followed him obediently.
There are many restaurants, teahouses, and inns on this street. While Yun Lin was looking for them with Yun Jing, he was also thinking about what to make for Yun Jing.
Then he suddenly realized that in the past Yunjing always sucked milk. Where could he find milk for him now?
"How about Grandpa getting you some porridge to eat?" He lowered his head tentatively and asked Yun Jing.
To be honest, Yunjing's mother's milk is very abundant, and many times he cannot finish it and waste it. So far, he has not eaten anything other than milk. Now that he thinks about it, although he has not eaten anything else,
He should be fine with porridge, which is easy to digest, so he nodded and said: "Okay."
Although he didn't know whether it was appropriate for Yunjing to eat porridge, Yunlin had no choice but to do so for the time being in order for him not to be hungry.
After searching for a while, he walked to a street restaurant.
The hotel was not big, and there were not many customers at noon. The waiter at the door, who was wearing coarse cloth and green clothes, looked sleepy and yawning all the time.
Rubbing his eyes, he suddenly saw Yun Jing and his grandson approaching, and immediately waved and said: "If you want to beg, go somewhere else. We don't have any leftovers here now."
Even though the waiter said this, he actually didn't have any bad intentions, nor was he looking down on others. He just treated Yun Lin and his grandson as beggars.
After all, they were wearing patched clothes, there was mud under their feet, and they looked pitiful and honest. It would be unreasonable not to think of them as beggars.
Moreover, the restaurant is open for business. If beggars are allowed in, it will have a bad impact. The waiter is just doing his own job.
Having said that, under this social system, it is almost impossible for a beggar to ask for money. It is normal operation if you are lucky enough to ask for leftovers to satisfy your hunger. After all, it is not easy for anyone, and no one’s money comes from strong winds.
No matter how compassionate you are, you cannot give money to others in vain.
The waiter was just doing his essential work and had no bad intentions, but his words made Yun Lin extremely irritated, and his old face suddenly turned red.
The low self-esteem of the lower class peasants, coupled with the shyness at the moment, Yunlin whispered to the waiter in a trembling voice: "We are not beggars. My grandson is hungry and wants to come to your place to buy him some food."
"Ah?" The waiter was stunned when he heard the words. He looked at Yun Lin and his grandson for a moment, then immediately changed his words and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, old man, I have poor eyesight. It's really a busy season. There are so many people coming to beg. I'm going to dazzle you."
You are just like those people begging, don’t take it to heart, please come in, please come in.”
After saying that, the waiter also lightly slapped himself twice in the mouth as an apology.
When he did this, Yun Lin felt a little embarrassed. He looked at his muddy feet cautiously, shook his head and said, "I won't go in, so as not to make your land dirty, I will sell you a bowl of white porridge."
My grandson can eat it at the door. How much does it cost?"
"Oh, old man, don't be like this. You are a visitor. Come in. I will clean up the dirty floor. Otherwise, the boss will pay me to do something. It doesn't matter. It's a bowl of porridge, right? Two copper coins. Do you want to add eggs?
"If you add eggs, you have to add another copper plate." As he said this, the waiter actively and enthusiastically came over to help Yun Lin.
No matter how small the transaction is, it is still a transaction. If Yun Lin and his grandson are really beggars, just drive them away, but they are guests. If they are driven away, in this era of credibility, it will stain the reputation of the hotel. Although the boss does not
As for peeling off the waiter's skin, I will never give him a good look.
After experiencing this episode, Yunjing didn't say anything. Apart from lamenting the difficulty of life for the people at the bottom, he didn't have many other thoughts in his heart. After all, this is reality.
Moreover, the waiter just made an unintentional mistake and apologized sincerely. Yunjing was not too cautious to get angry with the other party. Besides, he was not a big shot. Could it be that he felt that he had been disgraced and wanted to take revenge?
Not at all.
If you have to worry about even this little thing, you are obviously causing trouble for yourself, and you will not know how tiring life will be.
People, be more open-minded, there are only benefits and no harm to yourself or others...
