My sisters are big stars

Chapter 125: Old Versailles

"This house is an otaku, and there is so much rubbish at the door, let me see, three big drink bottles, seven small drink bottles, good harvest!"

"Wang!"

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb the people before we drive them out."

In a corridor of the old community, Lu Li led Xiao Bai to sweep the building.

He was completely plucking his hair now, and first started to search the garbage piled up at the door in the corridor, and then went downstairs to dig through the trash can when it was almost cleared up.

It is a good choice for him to not only keep out the wind but also to exercise while climbing stairs.

He opened the garbage bag at the door of that family’s house, and threw the things that could be exchanged for money into the woven bag. He didn’t put the other garbage at the door and let him continue to pile it up. When he went downstairs, he helped throw it into the trash can together. inside.

The other party provided him with bottles, and he volunteered to help people take out the trash, which is very reasonable.

More than an hour later, the woven bag in his hand was almost full, and he couldn't move anymore. His weak body couldn't support too much exercise, and he was very hungry.

My stomach is growling non-stop, and I have almost exhausted my strength. Now it's time to take a rest.

"Xiao Bai, let's go, I'll take you to dinner." Lu Li said to Xiao Bai with a smile.

"Wang!"

Xiao Bai wagged his tail and immediately became active from a state of no energy.

"Let's go, I guess you're starving too."

Carrying a full woven bag, Lu Li took Xiao Bai to the waste collection station to exchange money.

It was already seven o'clock in the morning, people who went to work and school had all come out, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going, adding some warmth to the cold weather.

After changing the money and walking to the pancake and fruit stand, Lu Li subconsciously paused for a few seconds. He had a deep memory of this thing. The first time he observed Wandering Lu, he stayed on the side of the street at the beginning of the day, surrounded by heavy traffic and passers-by. , none of these made Wandering Lu have any special reaction. He seemed to be out of the world. Although he stood in the crowd, he seemed so out of place.

Only when facing the hot pancake and fruit stand, he showed a hint of longing.

In his memory, his favorite food is pancakes. When he worked in the factory, he basically ate in the cafeteria and lived in the factory. There was basically no place to spend money. The only spare money he had was It was spent on selling pancakes. Eating a hot pancake with eggs in the morning will give you a sense of satisfaction that lasts for a long time.

This is his simplest happiness.

Lu Li touched the money in his pocket for the sold bottles, and wanted to buy one to try.

He didn't go directly. There were many people on the road now, and there was a small queue at the pancake and fruit stall. Two or three people were waiting in front of the stall, and he watched quietly from a distance.

Xiaobai lay at his feet and waited honestly with him.

It wasn't until half a day before the pancake and fruit stall was empty that Lu Li walked towards the stall.

"Boss, bring me a pancake with an egg."

The pancake seller was an older lady in her 40s. When she heard the voice, she said, "Okay, wait a moment, the pancakes with eggs will be ready soon."

After she finished speaking, she looked up to see that her guest was a slovenly bum.

She has a little impression of this homeless man. Every day around this time, a homeless man will appear on this street, and he will always stop for a while not far from his booth, but he has never been close to him. He always leaves after watching for a while. .

She doesn't have any resistance to the group of homeless people. She even wanted to give homeless Lu a pancake fruit several times. A pancake fruit doesn't cost much, and she can help as much as she can. I don't know about this winter. How these people survived, she felt very uncomfortable looking at it.

It's just that the business in the morning is so good that she can't work hard. She didn't expect Wandering Lu to come here for the first time this time.

She looked at Wandering Lu, this was the first time she saw this person up close, but the other person's face was dark, and most of his face was covered by the locks of hair, she couldn't see what Wandering Lu looked like, but it was inexplicable This homeless man felt familiar to her.

"Maybe it's an illusion."

But no matter what she looks like, it has nothing to do with her. While you are not busy now, let's give each other warmth.

She lowered her head and quickly made a pancake and handed it to Lu Li.

"How much?" Lu Li asked, taking out the crumpled five and ten yuan change in his pocket.

The eldest sister looked at the money, shook her head and said with a smile: "I don't want your money, I see you stop by the stall every day, I always wanted to give you a copy but I didn't find a chance, you take this pancake fruit, Tianyue It's getting colder, eat something warm to warm your body."

Lu Li shook his head, "Tell me how much it is, and I'll give it to you, or I won't eat it."

Vagabond Lu would not want this kind of cheap food, otherwise he would not be a tramp now but would go to work part-time as a beggar.

In the past, the homeless Mr. Lu liked to lie down at the train station, and he would go there for a day. To be honest, beggars are not as dedicated to his work. If he really wants to eat, he probably can live a good life now.

After all everyone knows that begging is a good job....

"You man, just take it if I give it to you, why are you so stubborn." The eldest sister said with a smile on her face, a little dissatisfied.

Anyone whose kindness is not accepted will not feel happy.

Lu Li still shook his head. He took out a ten-yuan bill and handed it out, saying, "I'm not a beggar."

The eldest sister was stunned for a moment when she heard this. He could feel the strong self-esteem in Lu Li's words, and she had to accept the money.

That's right, there's nothing shameful about being a homeless person. It's also a profession. Although it's not very respectable, at least you can support yourself with the money you earn.

Although she wanted not to look at people with colored glasses or look down on homeless people, her invisible actions proved that she regarded the other party as a vulnerable group in her heart.

After receiving the money, she looked for the money in the change box, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, you know, I didn't mean that."

"Well, next time you want to eat pancake fruit, I will add an extra egg for you. It doesn't cost much to add an extra egg. Usually, when many regular customers come, I will add an extra egg to them. I won’t add it to you, just feed your sausage to the little guy at your feet.”

"It's getting colder and colder this day, you have to take a bath when you have time, and be careful of malaria and typhoid."

She handed it to Lu Li with four pieces of paper, muttering like an old woman.

Lu Li lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Thank you...thank you."

The first time he saw her, he felt that the elder sister was familiar, but now he recognized the elder sister's familiar tone.

This is an acquaintance. When he was working in the factory a few years ago, this eldest sister was selling pancakes at the gate of their factory.

Because he goes there often, he sometimes chats with his elder sister. He can really add an extra egg to his acquaintances, and the elder sister is also kind-hearted. She usually reminds him to wear more clothes when he is cold, just like his mother. talk.

Now that he looks like this, neither the original nor Lu Li wants to be recognized.

Lu Li lowered his head and took the change and the sausage from the eldest sister, and left here as if fleeing.

Looking at Lu Li's back, the eldest sister frowned, and the feeling of familiarity became stronger.

But as soon as Lu Li left a guest, she picked it up, so she didn't have time to think about it.

There are always some trivial things in life, but who cares.

In the journey of life, the meaning of many people is just a passerby.

……

Lu Li found a corridor with pancakes in his pocket, squatted at the door and ate them.

He carried the sausage in his pocket, and he had fed Xiao Bai before.

The steaming pancake fruit looked very fragrant. Holding it in both hands, his stomach acid began to secrete non-stop, and finally he couldn't help but took a big bite.

Comfortable!

It still tasted the same as before, and after swallowing it in one gulp, he felt very comfortable both mentally and physically, and his tired body seemed to be relaxed.

He ate up a rather large pancake in two bites. After eating one, he was still a little unsatisfied, as if it was a delicacy made of top-quality ingredients.

After all, it was just a pancake fruit, but in Lu Li's eyes, it had a completely different meaning.

Through this pancake fruit, he recalled the days when he worked in the factory, remembered the first time he ate the pancake fruit made by his elder sister, and thought of her care and advice for him on weekdays.

Overwhelmed with emotion for a while.

He didn't know if Wandering Lu's thoughts were there, would he change his mentality because of a pancake fruit, would he not want to be a homeless man, go to a class, and buy pancake fruit again in order to be rich and decent, Go and listen to the elder sister's nagging.

Thinking of nagging, he froze for a moment.

Nagging, old man?

"The old man is still waiting for me in the park?"

He immediately thought of the old man who made an appointment with him yesterday to go pick up waste at five o'clock. Yesterday, because the old man was too nagging, he had no choice but to agree to the other party's agreement.

But he didn't want to go at all, he was different from the old man, he didn't need someone to accompany him, besides, he was so old, it was not suitable for picking up waste at all, wouldn't it be good to stay at home in the cold winter.

Isn't it just that no one is with you, that's better than getting sick from the cold.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It was already 07:30, two and a half past the appointed time.Even if the old man really went to the park to wait for him at five o'clock in the morning, he should leave after a while to see if he didn't come.

Lu Li persuaded himself in his heart, but he also thought of the old man's stubborn character, and chased him a long way in order to make friends with him.

When he thought about it, he couldn't be sure again.

"How about... let's go and have a look."

Leading Xiaobai, he went to the park that he passed by yesterday again.

At this time and weather, even the grandpas and aunts who do morning exercises in the park are reluctant to come out. The whole park is deserted, and at a glance, no one can see other people out for activities except for those who come out to walk their dogs.

Yesterday, he and the old man met on a lawn in the park. They also met because of a big plastic bottle. Now that Lu Li looked up, the lawn was empty, not to mention people, not even a plastic bottle.

"It's fine, it's fine to leave." Lu Li couldn't help but muttered.

He was really afraid that the old man would wait for him in place, otherwise he would feel bad.

But thinking about it, there are no such stupid people now, and he and the old man can't wait for a long time if they have to leave after a while.

"Wang Wang!"

"Wang Wang Wang."

"Are there any dogs looking at you? Let's not be familiar with them. Let's go." Lu Li whispered when he heard Xiao Bai's barking.

There are quite a few dog walkers in the park, and many of them are not compatible. Some big dogs would get aggressive when they saw Xiaobai being so small, or stare at him with bared teeth.

Xiaobai is not cowardly at all, no matter who is fierce to it, it will shout back fiercely, although his voice is so milky that it has no deterrent effect at all.

Moreover, when these dog walkers saw Lu Li's attire and Xiao Bai, who looked like a stray dog ​​at first glance, they would show disgusted expressions.

Someone else murmured in disgust: "There are people in the park. The dog is so dirty, I'm afraid it has some kind of disease. It's bad luck to see homeless people as soon as you go out."

After finishing speaking, he dragged his dog and walked towards other places, afraid that the dirty Xiao Bai would pounce on them and bite them, or that Lu Li would go forward and ask for money.

Both humans and dogs are at the bottom.

He did nothing wrong, and Xiaobai did nothing wrong, it's just that the skin on their bodies caused other people to resist,

Lu Li leaned down and patted Xiaobai's head, smiled and patted his butt to make him follow him.

Lu Li didn't plan to come to the park at this time when most people were out to walk their dogs, sorry.

"Woo~" Xiao Bai yelled with his ears drooping, and obediently followed behind Lu Li.

"Hey, don't go!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Lu Li turned around.

The old man in clean clothes and holding a woven bag appeared in front of his eyes.

The old man smiled at Lu Li, and walked two steps quickly with the woven bag in front of Lu Li. He squatted down and patted Xiao Bai's head, and praised, "Good dog, you still know me, and you know me when you see me." Know how to call."

Xiaobai took two steps back vigilantly, gritted his teeth and let out a threatening cry.

This made the old man a little embarrassed. The hand touching in midair didn't fall, and it didn't matter if it didn't fall.

But he adjusted his mentality very well, Xiaobai stood up without letting him touch him, and said to Lu Li with a smile, "I thought you could turn around, but after standing behind for a long time, you looked rather embarrassing. "

"Let me tell you, I picked up all the bottles in the park this morning. You can see that I have all kinds of bottles in my bag. I also cleaned up the garbage on the lawn when I was free. This is also considered to protect the environment. Yes. You don’t know that the public trash can in the park is called a clean one. There is nothing in it. I think this kind of place is not suitable for work in the morning. If you want to come, you have to come in the afternoon. At that time, the bottles and other things are almost accumulated. Just go, and you look at the lawn..."

The more the old man talked, the more excited he became, and he talked happily about what he had gained in the morning.

Lu Li didn't interrupt him and let him continue talking, and the old man continued talking tirelessly.

The things he said were not very nutritious. Most of them were about picking up bottles and finding nothing there. No matter how much he said, he didn't mention anything about Lu Li being two and a half hours late.

As if the two had agreed on 07:30 yesterday, the old man did not show any dissatisfaction.

After hearing what he said, Lu Li couldn't help asking, "Aren't you angry?"

"Angry?" The old man froze for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Why should I be angry?"

"I promised you to gather at the park at five o'clock yesterday, but it turned out that I didn't come until 07:30, leaving you waiting in the park alone. You should be angry."

The old man smiled and waved his hands, and said nonchalantly, "I thought what was the matter, it's the same for the old man at 07 o'clock or 30:[-], without you I would also be scavenging outside by myself, I am happy if you can come It's too late."

"You must be delayed by something. The world doesn't just revolve around the old man and me. Besides, you don't have a mobile phone. If the old man can't contact you, what can happen after a while? You, don't worry about such a trivial matter." Take it to heart."

Lu Li let out a heavy breath, he could see the old man's careful look, and the more he could see it, the more he blamed himself.

"What if I never come?" he asked.

"Then I'll just wait." The old man said decisively.

After he finished speaking, he laughed again, and the old man blinked at Lu Li: "I'm sure, old man, I know you won't let me wait for you in the park alone, look, you're here, aren't you?"

The old man was wearing a purple padded jacket and a black woolen cap today, looking warm and at attention, but even so, the old man's face was red and purple from the cold.There is no place to keep out the wind in the park, and the process of waiting for someone is especially difficult. It is probably too cold for the old man to go pick up waste by himself at this time, so he took the initiative to find something to do activities.

"You don't need to explain for me, I actually don't want to come." After hesitating for a while, Lu Li still told the truth.

"I have nothing to do. I picked up the bottles by myself in the morning. After picking up the bottles, I had breakfast. I came here to take a look when I was bored. From the beginning, I was going to let you dove. I want to say, look at people Not really."

The old man's expression was a little downcast, but he still forced a smile and said: "Then you are still here."

"Old man, I know that I am not liked by people, because no one wants to be with me because I talk too much, and I am not the same as you. I have a family and children. Although I can't see them all day long, it is cold. I can go home, and I won't be hungry or full... In essence, we are still different, and I can understand why you resist me."

Lu Li couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he saw this, this old man is really old Versailles.

The old man continued to say: "I don't want to be like other old men and women who stay at home every day like a lonely old man. I am willing to go out to exercise, I am willing to earn some money with my own hands, and I am willing to meet new friends."

"It's useless for me to say so much. I just want to ask you, old man, can you be friends with me?"

After finishing speaking, the old man hastily added: "I can restrain myself from talking less!"

"Talk less? That's okay."

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "Okay, but it's only limited to working together, and if you can't keep up with me, I won't care about you."

"Okay!" The old man nodded vigorously.

Xiaobai: "Wang!"
