In the cold autumn night, Zhao Xiaotian and the stall owner were sitting on the side of the street drinking wine under the pale and weak light. The difference between the two was more than 20 years old and a generation of age difference, more like a pair of down-and-out father and son.
The two of them talked very speculatively. They are both downcast people in the late autumn night. Although they have different occupations, they both have their own problems to solve.
Zhao Xiaotian asked, uncle, is my aunt not in a hurry when you go back so late?
The stall owner said, brother, don¡¯t call me uncle anymore, I feel like I¡¯m close to death if you call me that. You can still call me Brother Zhang, I also want to live a few more years, even if I live like a dog, don¡¯t I have to live?
Zhao Xiaotian nodded and said, in that case, let me call you Brother Zhang. Why didn't you answer me when I asked you just now? Isn't my sister-in-law worried about you?
Brother Zhang said, what is there to worry about? My pockets are cleaner than my face, and no one troubles me with these petty thieves. They're all down to this point, so what's there to be afraid of?
If it is scary, it is true, I am really a little scared to go home to see my wife! It would be better if I earned more money to go back, as the weather is so cold today, people on the street lost a day and didn't sell much money.
The face of my wife is also ugly when I get home. Although she doesn't say anything, it's worse than scolding me! Seeing her like that made me feel even more uncomfortable, so I might as well go back later.
Zhao Xiaotian said with a wry smile, big brother, why are all men in the world like this? I'm just like you, and I'm scared to go home and see my wife.
You look white and clean, you should be an educated person, not a person who relies on physical strength to make a living, how can you still be afraid of your wife? No, you did something sorry for your wife, right?
Zhao Xiaotian quickly waved his hand and said, how could I be in that mood! We have been studying for so many years, and we have to study for a lifetime in our profession, otherwise we will not be able to keep up.
I finally graduated to work, so I know this is just like what you said, I can't accept it! The leader of the unit is the boss. In other words, I am an educated wage earner.
Brother Zhang asked puzzledly, what kind of job are you doing that puts you under so much pressure? I thought it was only at my age that the pressure was high. How could it be the case at your young age?
Zhao Xiaotian hesitated to speak, he looked at the little white dog that was eating and wandering and fell asleep at his feet, then he touched the dog's head with his hand and said, "The work I do is also hard to describe. To put it bluntly, it offends people." work.
Brother Zhang is also educated, even though he graduated from technical secondary school in his early years, he also became an engineer. At that time, there were very few college students, and technical secondary school students were already very strong.
He stared at Zhao Xiaotian carefully, shook his head and said, brother, if you don¡¯t say it, then don¡¯t say it, it¡¯s better to keep some secrets! Let's have a drink.
Zhao Xiaotian asked, the weather is getting colder and colder, there must be very few people eating at the street stalls, you have to find another way? It's not a common thing either.
Brother Zhang said, I have also made preparations these days. There is a small shop not far from this community, and I have already paid for it. I want to open a tavern there, as long as I can eat and drink and earn some tuition for my son. He told Zhao Xiaotian the location.
I actually walked past that place after get off work, but the consumption in that place is very low, and it is also a place where people without money live.
Brother Zhang said with a wry smile, people like me have no funds, nor are they professional cooks, they just cook simple meals.
Rich people go to big restaurants, can they still patronize my small stall? I also opened it for these poor people, just like the tavern described by Lu Xun, where you come to a plate of broad beans and drink some wine.
Moreover, the rent in that place is very low. If it is too expensive, I really can't afford it. It is too difficult for one person to work and support a family.
Zhao Xiaotian thought for a while and said, that's okay, no matter how poor a person is, he still has to eat. Those who have money go to big restaurants, and those who have no money eat casually.
The two drank several bottles of beer, and then Zhao Xiaotian stood up and handed a hundred dollars to Brother Zhang, saying, I have to go home, you should go home quickly, my sister-in-law should be in a hurry.
Brother Zhang said, if you are also a fallen person in Tianya, you don¡¯t have to give the money, even if the elder brother treats you to drink.
Zhao Xiaotian smiled and said, there is no need to go back so late, my sister-in-law must be anxious, if the business is not good today, let's accept it?
Brother Zhang said, there is really no need, we also met by chance, I'd better give you the money.
Zhao Xiaotian slapped the money in his hand and said, no need, I feel very happy drinking with you tonight. If you really don't want to accept it, just leave it on the cabinet, and I will patronize the store when it opens.
Brother Zhang stood up and said to him, walk slowly, if you have a chance to go to my small shop in the future, it may open within two days.
I¡¯m sure to join in, it¡¯s rare to have a drink with my brother here, and it¡¯s helped me a lot, thank you
Brother Zhang said with a smile, if you ask me for money, I have no rough experience. My brother has nothing to do and sit in my little shop.
Zhao Xiaotian waved his hands, and staggered towards home.
He went downstairs to his own house and looked at your dilapidated building with emotion. After all, this is where he and his wife stayed. This house is a temporary dormitory for these young doctors assigned by the hospital.
He looked up and saw the faint lights of his house, knowing that his wife Li Yanping must be waiting for him, he scratched his head and decided to go up.
He climbed step by step to the sixth floor and the top floor. This is an old-fashioned residential building without an elevator, so he can only rely on him to climb up step by step. He is also out of breath when he climbs up, not to mention drinking some wine just now.
He took out the key, opened the door and walked into the house, and saw his wife was sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and there were meals on the table.
He embarrassedly told his wife Li Yanping that I would not eat at night after eating out.
Li Yanping saw her husband like this, and knew that he was drinking outside again. Then he said to him, you can't always be so depressed, things will be resolved one day.
Zhao Xiaotian sat on the sofa weakly and said, it has been more than three months and there is no letter at all. I don't know what the leader thinks? All that was said before was bullshit.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Li Yanping said, don't think too much about it as it has already happened. What's more, the courtyard is also a mess now, not only your problem, but now everyone is in danger.
Zhao Xiaotian looked at his wife in surprise and said, why is it still a mess, will it be messed up when I am around? They are nothing more than a struggle for economic interests and rights. After this incident happened, the courtyard seemed to be in chaos, and it turned out to be like this.
Li Yanping smiled wryly and said, although you are a figure in the limelight, you are hiding outside after all. That boy Yang Lei was not so lucky, he hid around like a mouse every day. He is also the target of these media tracking, including the leaders of the courtyard who don't like him too much.
Now the couple are arguing non-stop, and the relationship is also very tense. These days, he even dare not go to work, and hides at home every day to drink away his worries. I don't know how things turned out like this, completely beyond our expectations.
Zhao Xiaotian also said with a wry smile, no one asks about good things, but bad reputation spreads thousands of miles! He is also very emotional. What did the leaders of our courtyard say? I've been wanting to ask you these days and I'm too embarrassed to ask you.
Li Yanping said, I heard that the higher-ups are going to send an investigation team. I think the leaders in the courtyard seldom show up these days. I heard from colleagues that they have gone to other places for a meeting.
? Zhao Xiaotian said with a chuckle, it's a fart meeting, it's a research collusion. This group of people are all ghosts and ghosts, and this professional technology is not good enough to play with people, but they are all in one set! Now that the investigation team is coming, I can't avoid being involved.
The hospital first threw me to a small grassroots hospital below, and asked me to reduce my appearance to hide from the limelight. It seems that this matter is not over yet.
Li Yanping said helplessly, this incident seems to be continuing, making all these people in the courtyard feel insecure and afraid that they will be implicated, so let's make some preparations earlier.
Zhao Xiaotian said angrily, if you make me anxious, I'll tell him all the fucking things, and the rabbit will bite when it is anxious! I see what these guys say.
Li Yanping looked at him and said, you are also a person with a high degree of education, so you can fuck yourself if you open your mouth. If you work so hard, my job may not be guaranteed, so all our efforts will be in vain?
Zhao Xiaotian said, during this period of time, I have been holding my breath, and I have done a good job like this. Isn't this playing me?
Li Yanping said that this incident may not have been expected by the leaders of the courtyard. They did not expect this incident to be so big. All kinds of media, including national media, have spoken out, and it seems that this matter is difficult to resolve.
Zhao Xiaotian patted his forehead and said, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. I didn't expect me to be famous. If you want to be famous, you should also be famous in the entertainment industry, right? Doesn't this give me a bad name? Isn't that throwing shit on you? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
