Mr. Bao immediately understood, nodded and said: "I understand, I understand!
President Fang, don’t worry, from now on, whoever dares to continue to teach them bad habits, I will be the first to spare him!"
Fang Lin nodded, said nothing more, and walked away first. Meng Nina hurriedly followed Fang Lin with small steps.
Although the men in black brought by Jiuzhi Liu were all tall, strong and ruthless, they were like mice meeting cats. They stayed as far away from each other as possible, opening a bright road for Fang Linteng.
Fang Lin took Meng Nina and left slowly without any hindrance, under the gaze of hundreds of eyes.
After leaving the nightclub, Meng Nina had the courage to ask: "Did you come here by chance, or did you follow me all the way?"
Fang Linda said: "It's not important."
Meng Nina was silent and then said: "You are a big shot that even Mr. Bao is afraid of, but you are eating offal noodles at my dad's stall. You are so weird."
Fang Lin asked with a smile: "Am I a big shot?"
Meng Nina nodded and said: "Of course, you are so powerful! Others are afraid of you and listen to you."
Fang Lin shook his head and said, "I'm not a big shot, I'm just a farmer."
Meng Nina's eyes were full of disbelief. Even though what Fang Lin said seemed conclusive, she couldn't believe it no matter what.
Fang Lin knew that she didn't believe it, so he was not in a hurry to explain. He took Meng Nina to the side of the road next to the electric car that belonged to Meng Nina.
Fang Lin spread his hands and said, "Give me your electric car key and I'll take you back."
"Oh!" Meng Nina had no doubts and did not dare to refuse. She obediently handed the key to Fang Lin.
Fang Lin was riding an electric bike, and Meng Nina sat obediently behind, not daring to touch Fang Lin and holding on to the seat behind her.
Riding an electric scooter back towards the village in the city, Fang Lin said: "You may think I am very powerful, but I am really a farmer.
Our village used to be a famously impoverished village in eight townships. When I was in school, I ate steamed buns and drank free soup in the school cafeteria most of the time..."
Meng Nina was so shocked when she heard Fang Lin say that she was here. If what Fang Lin said was true, wouldn't it be worse than herself?
Although her family was also poor, whenever she asked her father for money, she would always get a few hundred yuan. Although her food and clothing were not as high as those of big brands, they were not inferior to others.
Her father tried his best to let her enjoy what she should enjoy, without being too different from other people her age.
With these thoughts in mind, I listened to Fang Lin continue to speak slowly.
"After graduating from high school, I went to a good university, but my family didn't have enough money to send me to school, so I joined the army.
Later, I retired from the army and returned to my hometown. I spent a few months building up the village's economy and development, allowing the villagers to become well-off and live a good life.
Outside, some people may call me President Fang and think that I am this or that, but in my heart, I always think that I am a rural child and my roots are in the village.
There is no distinction between high and low occupations. Your father supported a family by selling offal noodles, provided for you to study, and provided for you to eat, drink, and have sex. I think this is something you should be proud of. Your father is a good father.
You shouldn't look down on him selling chop suey noodles, and you shouldn't look down on your own family and background.
People should never forget their origins."
A chord in Meng Nina's heart was touched, and she looked silently at the vehicles and pedestrians on the roadside.
She saw a rich man driving his child home in a BMW. The child was throwing a tantrum and crying in the car, but the father paid no attention to the child. He was wearing a Bluetooth headset and seemed to be busy talking on the phone.
I also saw a sanitation worker riding a tricycle, carrying his grandson, who was only in elementary school. The grandson was sitting on the back of the tricycle, eating hot roasted sweet potatoes. His mouth was dirty as he ate.
smile.
Fang Lin stopped and did not continue to talk more.
I drove Meng Nina back to the village in the city and walked into the alley. At this time, the streets were much deserted compared to when Fang Lin left. Many shops were closed and the vendors closed their stalls.
Under the dim street lights, there were only a few pedestrians.
But the chop suey noodle stall is still there.
A middle-aged man walked in, passed by the noodle stall, and advised: "Lao Meng, why don't you close the stall yet? Just close the stall early and go home to rest, there is no one around."
Meng Nina's father, the chubby man, smiled and said: "Hey, there's nothing to do when I go back. If I keep watching, I might be able to sell one or two bowls. My daughter is about to take the college entrance examination and go to college. I
I need to give her more living expenses."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Children's debt, you are too doting on your daughter. Sometimes when I see her unlearned look, I wish I could whip her for you!"
Lao Meng said: "Oh, I don't want her to be well, as long as she is safe and sound.
My old man passed away early, and my wife also passed away early. Now, this is the only child left, and she is my heart and soul."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Then you can continue to guard the stall. I'm going home first."
The middle-aged man walked away, and Lao Meng sat back on the bench, lit a cigarette, and smoked alone in the silent late-night alleyway under the dim street lights.
He seemed to have a headache and felt uncomfortable, holding his head with his hands and rubbing his temples.
Fang Lin stopped the electric car, pointed at Lao Meng with his chin, and said, "Do you know how many noodles it would take for him to earn the four hundred yuan you asked your father for?
Your father's body already has many underlying diseases due to irregular work schedule and frequent late nights.
He has high blood pressure and nervous headaches. He shouldn't stay up late.
Do you know these things?"
Meng Nina's eyes were red and she pursed her lips tightly. She got off the back seat of the electric car and stood there stiffly, looking at her father's figure.
After a long time, Meng Nina suddenly shouted: "Dad!"
Lao Meng turned around and looked, surprised and happy. He didn't know how long it had been since he heard this title.
He stood up from the stool, looked at Fang Lin, and then at Meng Nina: "You...how..."
I was incoherent for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Meng Nina quickly ran to Lao Meng, hugged Lao Meng, and said in tears: "Dad, I was wrong!
I will never fool around again, I will study hard, try to get into a good university, find a good job in the future, and make money for your retirement!"
Lao Meng's eyes turned red, his lips trembled slightly, and he felt quite at a loss as he said, "Dad doesn't need you to support him in old age. It's dad's biggest wish that you live a good life."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly pushed Meng Nina away and said: "Stop hugging me, stop hugging me, my apron is not clean, I may make your clothes dirty."
Seeing her father's cautious look, Meng Nina felt sour in her heart. She lay on Lao Meng's shoulder and cried loudly again: "Dad, I'm sorry for you, I was wrong..."
