"Song Mei, I don't think it's a joke. This is a tragedy of our time. What happened to the officials now? What happened to the law now? It's really sad." I didn't laugh, but instead
Sighing. I think the story he told is probably fictional, but it makes people feel sad after hearing it.
"Brother Feng, you are right. However, it is precisely because of such a judge that I have the opportunity to settle Sister Zhao's matter? If they are all impartial and selfless, how can I have a chance? Do you think this is true?
?" Song Mei said.
I couldn't help being silent. Yes, I found that I was indeed hypocritical and ridiculous. I am just like many angry youths who hate corruption. In fact, what they hate may not be corruption itself, but that they do not have the opportunity to be corrupt.
"Song Mei, you just asked me to teach Xiao Zhong, right? Not to mention, I really want to say a few words to her." When the atmosphere on the table became silent and awkward, Zhuang Qing suddenly
said.
I was shocked, "Zhuang Qing, you drank too much! Song Mei, that's it for today. I completely understand what you mean. I will contact you immediately if there is any news next."
He nodded.
"No. I haven't eaten enough yet. I haven't drunk enough wine yet. Song Mei, so what you just said were all lies?"
"Zhuang Qing..." I gently pulled her, but she threw my hand away.
"Sister Zhuang Qing, tell me. I want to hear it too." What I didn't expect was that Xiao Zhong said such a sentence immediately.
I looked at Song Mei and smiled bitterly. Song Mei's face remained as usual.
I didn't expect that Zhuang Qing would be as stubborn as usual and would have to do such an extraneous thing at this time. What made me even more embarrassed was that she didn't listen to anyone's advice at all. Her stubbornness was completely incompatible with Xiao Zhong's gentleness.
Forming a sharp contrast.
Zhuang Qing was looking at us, and after a moment she actually laughed, "Okay, can I not tell you anything else? Since Song Mei told a story just now, let me tell you one too."
We didn't speak, but she ignored our attitude and started talking to herself——
On this day, two guests came to Baiyun Restaurant, a man and a woman, about forty years old, well-dressed, the man was carrying a travel bag, it seemed that they were a traveling couple. The waiter brought the menu with a smile
The man took the menu and handed it to the woman directly, saying: You can order it, you can order whatever you want. The woman didn’t even look at it, she raised her head and said to the waiter: Just give us a bowl of wontons.
The waiter was startled. How could anyone eat wontons at Baiyun Restaurant? Besides, there were no wontons for sale in the restaurant. She thought she had not heard clearly and looked at the female customer uneasily. The woman repeated her words again, and the man next to her
At this time, she spoke: What kind of wontons can I eat? It’s not like I have no money. The woman shook her head and said: I just want to eat wontons! The man was stunned, and seeing the surprised look in the waiter’s eyes, he said embarrassedly: Okay. Please give us two.
A bowl of wontons. No! The woman quickly added, just one bowl! The man was startled again, how could he eat a bowl? The woman saw the man frowning and said, "Didn't you promise to listen to me all the way?"
The man fell silent and leaned on the chair with his hands folded. The waiter next to him showed a contemptuous smile and thought to himself: This woman is so stingy. Not only did they go to the restaurant to eat wontons, but the two of them only wanted one bowl. She
He curled his lips at the woman: Sorry, we don't sell wontons here. If you want to eat, you should go to the food stalls outside!
When the woman heard this, she was very surprised. She thought for a while and then said: How come there are no wontons for sale? Do you think the business is small and don’t want to do it? At this time, the restaurant owner happened to pass by. When he heard the woman’s words, he waved to the waiter.
The waiter walked over and complained: Boss, look at these two people ordering wontons, aren't they trying to cause trouble? The shop owner smiled slightly and waved his hand at her. He also felt very strange: Look at the way this couple was dressed.
He was probably not someone who couldn't afford to eat. He probably had other ideas. In any case, business came to his door, so there was no reason to extrapolate it. He whispered to the waiter: Go out and buy a bowl of wontons and come back. How much did you pay for it? The bill will be paid later.
He charged twice as much! After saying that, he pulled up a chair and sat down, and began to observe this strange couple.
After a while, the waiter brought back a bowl of steaming wontons, put it in front of the woman, and said, "Please use it slowly." When she saw the wontons, the woman's eyes lit up, and she put her face to the surface of the bowl.
He took a deep breath, and then gently stirred the wontons in the bowl with a spoon, as if he couldn't bear to eat them, and they didn't come to his mouth for a long time.
The man looked at the woman with wide eyes, then turned around and looked around. He felt that everyone was staring at them with strange eyes. He felt ashamed and said bitterly: I really don’t understand what you are doing. You came all the way here, just...
To eat this bowl of wontons? The woman raised her head and said: I like it!
The man picked up the menu on the table and said, "You can eat what you like. I've been hungry all day and I need to make up for it." He waved the waiter over and ordered seven or eight expensive dishes at once.
The woman took her time and waited for the man to finish his order. Then she said calmly to the waiter: You'd better ask him if he has money first, and be careful of him eating the King's meal.
Before the waiter could react, the man blushed angrily: Fart! Will I eat the King's meal? Will I have no money? As he spoke, he reached into his arms and suddenly made a sound: Where is my wallet? He simply stood up.
He got up, patted and pinched his body, and found that his mobile phone was also missing. The man stood stunned for a long time, and finally turned his eyes to the woman opposite.
The woman said calmly: Stop working around. I threw my wallet and mobile phone into the river last night. When the man heard this, he got angry: You are crazy! The woman seemed not to hear and continued to stir the bowl slowly.
There were wontons in the bag. The man suddenly remembered something, opened his travel bag, reached into it and dug it out. The woman said coldly: Stop looking for your watch and my ring. Let’s bring them all out this time.
I threw all the valuable things into the river. I still had five yuan with me, which was just enough to buy this bowl of wontons!
The man's face turned pale, he sat down and glared at the woman angrily: You are really crazy, you are really crazy! We have no money, how can we go back such a long way?
But the woman looked calm and said calmly: Why are you in a hurry? No matter what, we still have two legs, and we will get home as soon as we walk.
The man snorted dullly. The woman continued: Twenty years ago, we didn’t have a penny on us, so didn’t we still go home? The weather at that time was even colder than it is now!
After hearing this, the man couldn't help but stare blankly: Tell me, what did you say? The woman asked: Do you really don't remember? The man shook his head blankly.
The woman sighed: It seems that after having a little money in these years, she has really forgotten everything. Twenty years ago, we went on a business trip for the first time. Unexpectedly, we were cheated out of everything.
The fare for the trip home is gone. When you passed by here, you asked for a bowl of wontons for me to eat. I know that you only had 50 cents left on you at that time...
When the man heard this, he trembled and looked around. Here... the woman said: This is right here. I will never forget it. At that time, it was still a small and shabby wonton shop.
The man lowered his head silently, and the woman turned to the waiter who was standing by in a daze and said: Girl, please bring me another empty bowl.
The waiter quickly brought an empty bowl. The woman picked up the wontons in front of her, put more than half of them into the empty bowl, and gently pushed them in front of the man: "Eat, let's walk home together after we finish!"
The man stared at the half bowl of wontons in front of him for a long time before saying: I'm not hungry. The woman's eyes flashed with tears and she murmured to herself: Twenty years ago, you said the same thing! After saying that, she stared at
The bowl didn't move the spoon, it just sat quietly.
The man said: Why don't you eat? The woman choked up again: Twenty years ago, you asked me the same thing. I remember my answer to you at that time. If you want to eat, eat it together, or if you don't want to eat it, don't eat it at all. Now, it's still the same.
This sentence!
The man was silent and reached out to pick up the spoon. For some unknown reason, the hand holding the spoon shook violently. After scooping it up several times, the wontons fell off. Finally, he finally put a wonton into his mouth and swallowed it whole.
He swallowed them all. When he scooped up the second wonton, tears suddenly fell down.
When the woman saw him eating, a smile appeared on her face, and she also picked up the spoon and started eating. As soon as the wontons entered her mouth, tears fell into the bowl. The couple finished the bowl of wontons with tears.
Putting down the spoon, the man raised his head and asked the woman softly: Are you full?
The woman shook her head. The man was very anxious. Suddenly he seemed to remember something. He bent down and took off one of his leather shoes, pulled out the insole, and touched inside. Unexpectedly, he found five dollars. He was startled.
Staring at the money in his hand in disbelief.
The woman smiled and said: Twenty years ago, you lied to me and said you only had 50 cents to buy a bowl of wontons. In fact, you still had 50 cents, which was hidden in the sole of your shoe. I know you wanted to hide it.
Fifty cents, I'll take it out when I'm hungry. Later, you were forced to eat half of the wontons. Knowing that I must not be full, you took out the money and bought another bowl! After a pause, she said, Fortunately, you
Remember what I did, I didn’t hide these five dollars in vain!
The man handed the money to the waiter: Give us another bowl of wontons. The waiter didn't take the money and ran away quickly. After a while, he came back with a big bowl full of wontons.
The man poured more than half of the woman's bowl: Eat it while it's hot!
The woman didn't move and said: After we finish eating, we have to walk home. Don't blame me. I just want to be hungry and miserable with you again before we break up!
The man said nothing, lowered his head and swallowed in large gulps, including the soup and water. He put down the bowl and urged the woman: "Eat quickly, let's walk home after eating!"
The woman said: Don't worry, I will keep my word. I'll sign it when I get back. I won't take any money. Which woman do you want to marry? If you marry ten or eight, I won't care about you anymore...
The man suddenly shouted loudly: I will burn the divorce agreement when I get back, isn't it okay? After saying that, he actually cried loudly, I was wrong, isn't it okay? My head is cramped, isn't it okay?
With a smile on her face, the woman calmly finished half a bowl of wontons, and then said to the waiter: Girl, please pay the bill.
The boss Zhang Xianfeng, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly woke up, walked over quickly, blocked the woman's hand, took out two hundred-dollar bills from his body and handed it over: Since you burned the divorce agreement when you came back, why did you still keep it?
Want to walk home?
The man and woman looked at the shop owner hesitantly, and the shop owner smiled and said: We are all old acquaintances. I sold the wontons you ate twenty years ago, and my wife made those wontons! After that, he
He forced the money into the man's hands and left without looking back...
The store owner returned to the office, took out the divorce agreement that had been drawn up from the drawer, looked at it blankly for a long time, and murmured to himself: It seems that my head is also cramped... (To be continued)
