Chapter 22 Poor old roots
One person, six pancakes, and two chicken drumsticks, Cai Gen finished it in 15 minutes, cleaning the battlefield without leaving any traces.
After a while, my wife comes and takes me to see the master. If I find that I have remembered the wrong date today, it is time to talk about it again. The endless chatting gives Cai Gen a headache. He has been annoyed by it a few times, and he has also exploded and resisted. , and then my wife will use two words to describe Cai Gen every time, poor and unruly.
What is the state of poverty?
Rich people are aggressive, which is an extreme behavior based on huge wealth and strong self-confidence.
If the poor are poor, they really have nothing to rely on, and they are only left with nothing.
Heng at this time is an attitude, a kind of struggle, a kind of unwillingness to admit defeat, and a kind of spirit that will not defeat others.
There are many poor people, and there are also many poor people, but in today's world, there are not many poor people.
Looking back on the long history, overthrowing a dynasty, carrying out a revolution, and resisting oppression were all led by a group of poor people.
They have nothing but the belief in their hearts. They are Heng. They have the courage to fight in the face of all powerful enemies because they have nothing to lose. They are willing to be killed and dare to pull the emperor down. He is justified.
I remember drinking with a classmate who was a dean in a middle school. After drinking, he expressed emotion that middle school students nowadays are not as bloody as we were back then. There were very few fights, and sometimes there was almost no conflict for a year.
Cai Gen also asked, why? Why has so much changed?
I remember when I was a child, in junior high school, it was a battlefield. Just say something and there would be countless flames of war.
A friend analyzed it for Cai Gen. In the past, everyone was poor and the cost of fighting was very low, so fighting was just a fight, and no one could blackmail anyone.
The gap between rich and poor is now wide.
Poor people don't dare to fight rich people, because fighting means fighting for money.
Rich people are not willing to hit poor people, because it not only hurts energy, but also hurts money.
This idea is instilled in the minds of children by parents.
Poor families will teach their children not to cause trouble. Our family cannot afford to pay for it.
Rich families will teach their children not to argue with the poor. They all want to extort money from you, so don't give them a chance.
Therefore, every time when his wife used the word "poor and horizontal" to describe Cai Gen, Cai Gen didn't feel ashamed and felt a little relieved. At least he still had the backbone of a poor man. At least he was not only poor but also wealthy.
After eating very full, the blood began to flow to the stomach faster. Cai Gen felt sleepy and fell asleep lying on the dining table.
I didn’t dream this time. I slept so deeply that I didn’t even hear the bell ringing when my wife opened the door.
"Lao Gen, what time do you still go to bed? Didn't you agree to see the master in the morning?"
His wife's voice woke up Cai Gen. When he opened his eyes, he was facing the dazzling sunlight. He quickly closed his eyes again, paused for two seconds, wiped his saliva with his hand, stood up and sat up straight. He might have just woken up, so With some force, the scalded blisters on the back of his hands were scratched. The severe pain made Cai Gen feel energetic.
I watched my wife come by herself and patrol the store, looking at the computer for a while and the money box for a while.
Staring at the one hundred yuan red ticket in the money box, he took it out, shook it at Cai Gen, and said in a teasing tone,
"Boss Cai, business was very good yesterday. I even saw red tickets."
Cai Gen automatically chose to ignore his wife's mocking tone, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said a little irritably,
"What's good? It's just a job, and I was given a tip of 13 yuan. It's not important. Come here and I'll tell you about it. Our store was very busy last night."
My wife's curiosity arose immediately, but it was not about the excitement in the store, but about the 13 yuan tip. She came over and sat opposite Cai Gen and asked gossiping,
"Can you still receive tips when delivering food? Did you transfer it?"
When Cai Gen heard this, he felt that this idea was wrong, so he chose to ignore it. He took a puff of cigarette, and then told how Xiao Xiao, the hanged spirit in white clothes, got into the car and went back to the store last night, stabbed himself, and then thanked Master Xie for taking the child with him. Come to take your own life, and finally the primitive man Nunu comes out to make the final decision.
After finishing speaking in one breath, Cai Gen was a little excited or a little scared. He took a puff of cigarette and stared at his wife, hoping that the other party would give him a scientific explanation, or it might be unscientific but reasonable.
My wife was quiet and didn't interrupt. It wasn't until Cai Gen finished speaking that she said with an angry face,
"Lao Gen, is that female ghost really in good shape?" No, the description just now was too detailed, as if to say, I'm so sorry, you can just say that the female ghost is scary, why do you mention her figure? ? Cai Gen wanted to slap himself in the mouth, he really owed it.
However, this should not be the point. The point is not here. Grievance, anger, fear, worry, and complex emotions poured into Cai Gen's heart, and he began to feel poor again,
"Look at your figure. Forget it. I won't say anything anymore. Just go and do whatever you need to do. I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed."
After saying that, he lay down on the table again and tried to sleep.
"Hurry up, don't pretend to be dead, the master and I have made an appointment at ten o'clock, and it's now half past nine."
Cai Gen lay on the table, motionless, and said in a muffled voice,
"If I don't go, I'll do whatever I want with you. I'm not afraid of living, but still afraid of death?"
"If you don't pull me down, whoever is afraid will know."
After saying that, my wife seemed to walk towards the door. The glass door was opened, there was a clear ringing sound, and then there was the sound of closing the door.
Is this really gone? Cai Gen quickly raised his head. Yes, he was afraid. He knew it very well. He wanted to pretend, but he failed.
He quickly raised his head to call his wife, but saw his wife standing at the door without even going out, looking at Cai Gen with a sly smile.
"Hurry up and get dressed, lock the door and leave. We finally made an appointment."
Cai Gen lost his temper, got up, put on his coat, took the keys to his mobile phone and the money under the pillow, and followed his wife out.
My wife was driving, and Cai Gen was sitting in the passenger seat. The car started smoothly under my wife's control, without daring to joke around.
I opened the car window, lit a cigarette, and enjoyed the warm winter sun outside. As if I suddenly thought of something, I looked back at the back seat. It was empty, which was good.
Cai Gen's abnormal behavior attracted the attention of his wife. She also looked at the back seat, but saw nothing and continued to tease Cai Gen.
"Did that good-looking female spirit sit in the back yesterday?"
Here we go again, is this the end? Cai Gen smoked a cigarette and said angrily,
"Well, it's gone now. It was in the back seat yesterday."
My wife seems to be a little addicted and continues to knead Cai Gen,
"You can't see it, are you thinking about it?"
Completely speechless, smoking a cigarette silently and looking out the car window, Cai Gen thought of the quietness in the distance and really wanted to be quiet.
A sharp sound of brakes broke Cai Gen's contemplation. Why are there so many accidents happening at the entrance of this high school recently?
I got out of the car and looked around. I saw a BMW Z4 parked in the middle of the road. There was an obvious scratch on the bumper.
A man and a woman also got out of the car. The man was wealthy and the woman had an outstanding temperament, neither of them looked like ordinary people.
In front of the BMW, there was a battery car backed up, and a delivery rider fell to the ground and howled.
I can’t afford it without a few thousand yuan.
"Get in the car, don't watch the excitement, it's too late."
At the urging of his wife, Cai Gen got in the car.
He took the lead and drove onto the road. My wife drove really smoothly.
Those who hide a lot will die richly, so they know that being rich is worse than being carefree in poverty; those who walk tall are prone to bumps, so they know that being noble is worse than being humble. Quoted from "Cai Gen Tan"
