On the way back, it started to rain again.It wasn't raining much, but it was a little cold, but it happened that I wanted to clear my mind now, so I didn't care.

Zou Shengzu said that Meng Jusheng was imprisoned because he slapped Mr. Luo's face. This Mr. Luo's name is Luo Qizhao. In the medical business, they boast that they can help the world by hanging pots. They are a family of Chinese medicine and Western medicine. No one knows what they are doing behind the scenes. What they know is that this Luo family has dirty hands and feet.

But in this season, who dares to say that his hands and feet are clean.

Still holding the snacks from Boss Zou in his hand, he saw that it was wet by the raindrops, and there was a tide. After autumn rain and cold, the loess on the street was soaked into mud spots. , ran to hide under the eaves, and splashed mud when he ran.

Seeing that more and more people were crowding under the eaves, those sour gentlemen stopped talking about their status and squeezed together with the driver and beggar, covering their noses and fanning the wind in disgust from time to time.Those who were excluded seemed to be used to it, sat down against the wall, didn't care, and occasionally told a couple of nasty jokes, which made the people around them laugh.

That's when we can truly say equality.

I didn't wear a hat, and I wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain. At this time, a pair of beggars who didn't know whether they were siblings or mother and son were squeezed out. The woman hurriedly protected the boy in her arms. What went up and down was black water.

It seems that the word equality is not always true.

I frowned and raised my legs to walk by, but I saw the boy's big eyes staring straight at the snack in my hand. His eyes were bright and agile. He was only seven or eight years old. He swallowed his saliva.

I looked at the freshness, changed my mind, raised my legs and walked over, handing over the plate.

The woman was startled, and raised her head in panic. Her face was dark, her face was swollen, with two rough red spots on her top, and her long braids were greasy, but they were neatly combed, and her clothes could be seen, although they were dirty. Old and shabby, but trying to make it look decent.

Although it's not at all decent.

The woman was still in shock, but the little boy in her arms had already stretched out his hand, and he proudly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. Before he could put it in his mouth, he stopped suddenly, then turned his arm and handed it to the woman.

The woman was still hesitating, and shrank even more under my scrutiny. I sneered, and put the plate in the boy's hand, then straightened up and walked forward.

He had only taken two steps when a small area of ​​his head was suddenly covered, and at the same time he heard a familiar "Mr. Yi".

I stopped, turned slightly sideways, put my hands behind my back, raised my head and smiled and said, "I was still called Big Brother before, but now I am 'Mr.'?"

He nodded and smiled, he was still wearing that fashionable black long woolen overcoat, without a hat, the corners of his clothes were wet by splashed muddy water, making a mess, and he was a little embarrassed.

But he is still calm and leisurely, calm and leisurely, like walking in the park, holding an umbrella, and it is also a painting in the drizzle.

He didn't answer, but said instead: "I just looked like you, and when I went over to take a look, I happened to see you giving snacks to those two."

I let out a "huh" and walked side by side with him. He is a very careful person, as can be seen from the umbrella that is too askew on my head.

"Do you still have that habit when you go out?" He asked, "Bring your own snacks?"

"No, I have something to do today. After finishing it, I feel hungry, so I took it by hand."

I'm not saying it's because I'm holding my breath.Disgraceful.

"Coincidentally, there was a lot of trouble at your house last time. It's time for you to come back. Let's choose another day rather than hit it. Now, how about it?"

I was amused by him: "You really are..." As I said that, I raised my eyes and saw a wine flag not far away, sticking to the rain, and changed the subject, "Drinking wine on a rainy day is a pleasure, but where is it?" Is there a reason for a traveler to invite a passenger? This is my treat."

He said: "These red tapes are also discussed outside the customs?"

I frowned and said displeasedly: "Look at what you said, it's not a barren land outside the pass, why, come from the capital, they can't look down on our small place, so why do you feel wronged?"

He grinned happily: "Look, I misunderstood, right? I mean, I'm a traveler, and I'm about to become a traveler."

"That's fine, we'll talk about it when you really settle down."

We were busy bickering, and we entered the restaurant in no time.

This is the restaurant I wanted to bring him here before. It is a time-honored restaurant called "Eight Big Bowls". It serves authentic Northeast cuisine, especially in one pot. The pork ribs are tender, and they never cut corners. eat.

The restaurant was full of people, chaotic and noisy.On the benches in the hall on the first floor, there are mostly coachmen with bare feet sitting crookedly eating wine. It rains outside and there is no business, so they all hide in. The sorghum wine is served with a plate of peanuts, and the chewing is delicious. Or people who don’t know each other punched and poured wine, and what’s more, they spread out two tables to start betting, and when they opened the treasure pot, their excited feet directly stepped on the stool.

The chief surname is Hu, who has been working for decades, and he is quite well-known. His two mouths are not knotted, and he makes people feel elated. When he saw me coming in, he put a rag on his shoulders Holding an umbrella, he ran over, shouting repeatedly: "Oh! My lord, I haven't seen you for a while, the wind today is really noble, and it brought you here," said while being courteous , Wipe the water off my body, "It's raining so much, what do you want to eat, I'll send someone to tell me, and I'll pack it up and send it to your house, why bother you to come here!"

I waved his hand away, and said with a smile: "Hu Tangtou, today's distinguished guest is not me, but this one." I pointed to Liu Guoqing, "You have to take good care of him."

"Hey! Look at me!" He bent down and led us upstairs, with a smile on his face, and said again, "I said it was so early in the morning, in such a cold day, a couple The magpies are standing outside the window and chirping on the branches. I’m still thinking about it, but what’s the happy event? Now I understand everything, that is, two of your distinguished guests came to the door! Look at me, I’m so stupid, I deserve to be punished! fine!"

Laughing and laughing along the way, I sneaked a glance at Liu Guoqing, he was smiling all the time, but he didn’t say a word, listening to me and the boss, I went to the private seat on the second floor, facing the window I'm used to the seat I'm used to sitting in. Occasionally when I get upset at the beginning of the game or win a big game downstairs, the sound will come up.

There are few people on the second floor, mostly scholars in long gowns.The first floor and the second floor are connected by a staircase. The lowly people on the bottom and the dignitaries on the top are clearly separated.

After ordering some signature dishes and usual favorites, Liu Guoqing suddenly asked, "The wine here is all sorghum wine?"

I grinned viciously, and pretended to say: "Mr. Liu wants to drink plum wine or sweet-scented osmanthus wine. These are a bunch of rough old men, but they don't have the skillful hands of Qiaohua Niang to brew them."

He shook his head helplessly and said, "I really can't drink that wine."

"Don't drink it if you can't drink it. Eat vegetables," he said, ordering the waiter, "Warm a pot of sorghum wine, and take a bottle of Bawangsi soda, orange-flavored." He raised his chin, "Here, sir," he said intentionally She asked him eagerly, "Orange flavored, sweet, okay?"

His face was a little red, and the waiter was also jovial. Seeing that there were people cheering, he felt that he was about to accept it, and ordered the waiter to rush for the food, and then turned around and drank tea first.

The tea is free, and the tea leaves are left over from the tea market.There is a special place to buy tea dregs, which are usually dropped from good tea, and are specially sold to those arrogant and down-and-out sons or poor students, and of course there are restaurants and restaurants that wholesale in batches.

Liu Guoqing is obviously a proud son of a big family, but he is not downcast. He only took a sip of tea, then put it down and stopped moving.

At this time, an old man with a rickety back came up, his coarse clothes were patched with frayed patches, and it was getting colder in late autumn, and he was shivering with the cold. He took this piece of torn paper and held up the same worn-out huqin, which meant that we would order some songs. .

Liu Guoqing had never seen this before, so he was a little flustered for a while. I gave the old man two copper coins and dismissed the old man. I can't come out."

Liu Guoqing felt the same, nodded and said, "It's not easy."

Yes, in this turbulent era, it is not easy for everyone, whether it is a big person who creates history above, or a small person like us who is mediocre to make a living. The former is for the family and the country, and the latter is for food and clothing. The world, in the final analysis, is all for the sake of living a healthy life, and they all end up on the same road.
