Neon lights shine beautifully in the rain and fog.
A chubby girl immediately came to mind. She was the reason why I met Xiao Zhen.
One day in late April, I drove back from Ping County. Since I had no success and it was still raining, I felt depressed. I passed by a small supermarket and went in to buy a bottle of water.
As soon as I opened the refrigerator, I heard the boss yelling at a girl and asked her if she wanted to steal something!
I looked over and saw that it was a girl about my age.
She has messy short hair, is fat, has a flat nose, and has a slightly wider distance between her eyebrows.
Just by looking at her face, you can tell that she has some inherent deficiencies.
The clothes I wore must have been given by others. They were very old men's sportswear with hair balls all over them.
She was even more frightened when she was scolded by her boss, and said vaguely, "Uncle, I don't steal. I know that stealing is not a good child. I don't steal..."
"Then what are you doing!"
The boss stared, "Who taught you to take out the ice cream and eat it directly? This is a supermarket, and you have to pay the bill first! Did you bring money? Do you want to default after eating? What's the difference between that and stealing!
"
"Last time I saw a little sister taking out ice cream and eating it here, and you didn't criticize her..."
She looked at the boss tremblingly, and took out a crumpled dollar from her trouser pocket, "Uncle, I have money, I won't run away..."
"That child came with her parents. After eating the ice cream, can the parents bring me the outer packaging to scan the QR code! Besides, she is only four years old! How old are you! You really dare to learn anything, are you worthy! Silly
You are not stupid, you are not stupid, you still have money, the ice cream you eat costs three yuan, is one yuan enough!"
She was scolded so much that she didn't dare to raise her head. She stood there helpless, her hands holding the ice cream stick trembling.
When I saw that the boss was still angry with his hands on his hips, I walked over and said, "Okay, it's three yuan, isn't it? I'll treat her to this ice cream."
The boss was stunned, but he obviously knew her, "Girl, you can't pity her. She is just fooling around all day long. She doesn't understand things. If you show love to this kind of person, you will easily be blackmailed and your feelings will be wasted."
…”
Seeing my displeasure, the boss swallowed the rest of his words, looked at my clothes, then looked at my sports car parked outside, his attitude immediately changed, and he said with a grimace, "Oh, girl.
, do you think I’m bullying people here? That’s because you don’t know the inside story. She is a well-known female fool in this area, but she’s not completely stupid. When you ask her anything, she still has answers.
I can’t tell what’s good or bad, I’m getting angry because of her.”
As he spoke, the boss sighed and said, "But, her life experience is indeed quite miserable. She was an orphan abandoned by her parents. You can tell by her appearance that she is a natural imbecile. I heard that she was first raped.
An old lady picked her up for adoption. When she was seven or eight years old, if the old lady couldn't survive, she would be sent to the Tianxin Welfare Home. When she grew up, the director couldn't even look down on her.
Always running out, hungry and eager to eat anything..."
The more the boss talked about it, the more he seemed to get angry, "Whenever she comes to my place, she looks for food. Such an old girl can't even count. She only gives two yuan for snacks that cost ten yuan. My old lady thinks she is pitiful. What time
I didn’t say anything to her, no matter how much money she gave her, I kept her full. As time went by, she became bolder and always did this kind of thing. My old lady didn’t come to the store today. I really can’t hold it in anymore. Girl, I
This supermarket is just a small business, with a profit of just a few cents, and I don’t run a charity, so how can I stand up to her taking advantage every day..."
Before I could finish speaking, the boss looked at the five hundred yuan I took out from my wallet and was slightly stunned, "What are you..."
"Boss, I think you look pretty good, but you have a bad temper, but you also said that your wife has a good heart and cannot bear to see her go hungry. Your wife and I have similar mentality. When we do business, the most important thing is to be kind.
To make money?"
I handed him the money and said, "Just treat these five hundred yuan as mine and keep it with you. If she comes to eat in the future, you can deduct it from the money."
"That's not necessary. Just give me the money for the ice cream. When my old lady comes back, I won't be able to treat her badly..."
The boss waved his hands in refusal and looked helplessly at the girl who was still weeping. "Girl, I think you are dressed like a rich person. If you really want to help her, you might as well find a job for her."
If she keeps wandering around here, she will be in trouble sooner or later."
After talking about it, he shook his head and said, "That child is really miserable. There is nothing we can do. Can't we help the poor? I can't help her."
After the sound fell, he looked at me with apologetic eyes, "Girl, I was also angry with her. He called her a fool and so on. Don't worry too much."
I nodded without saying anything more, paid for the ice cream and returned to her, "Okay, now that the money has been paid, you can eat the ice cream."
The girl even gave me a wet dollar note in her hand, "Give you money, I'm not stealing, I'm rich..."
"I know you're not stealing. Keep the money. This time, I'm treating you to ice cream."
She was still shedding tears, her head bowed deeply, and she looked like a child who had done something wrong when she cried.
I didn't know how to comfort her, so I took out two more ice cream sticks from the freezer and handed one to her, "This one is delicious too. It's Qiao Xizhi. How about we eat it together?"
She showed me the half-eaten crispy ice cream, "But I haven't finished my own ice cream yet."
"It doesn't matter. You can have one more after you finish eating."
I smiled and said, "I usually take three sticks as a base. It's common to eat six or seven sticks."
She didn't understand a bit, with tears on her face, and her expression always showed a sense of natural ignorance and confusion.
But her preferences are clear. When she saw me giving her ice cream, she instinctively expressed her desire to eat it.
When I saw this, I stuffed the ice cream into her hand. She immediately liked it and smiled shyly at me, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
I held her hand, and after paying the bill, we sat on a bench outside the supermarket.
There was a rain shelter just above, and we sat quietly, eating ice cream, and no one said anything.
When you raise your eyes, you can still see water droplets falling from the edge of the shed, as if someone is crying.
There was a faint bitter aftertaste on my tongue.
She enjoyed eating the ice cream, and her mood seemed to be relieved quickly. She smiled at me honestly and said, "It's delicious. The ice cream you bought is delicious."
I tilted my head to look at her, "What's your name?"
"Fat silly."
She chuckled, "Everyone around me calls me that. Grandma the dean said my name is Xingxing, but I don't know..."
I smiled softly, "Do you like the name Fat Silly?"
"If you like it, I like everything."
She said with a pure smile, "But grandma dean doesn't like it, she will cry secretly, and Xiao Zhen doesn't like it either. Xiao Zhen said that people outside call me fat and stupid because they are scolding me, not because they like me. Xiao Zhen only calls me
