Chapter 696: Reminiscing about hardships and thinking about sweet rice
Zhen Shuiyin had already caught the dolphin, got to the car first, and locked it in the trunk.
Cai Gen got into the car and asked worriedly,
"Can't this thing go through walls or something? Run away again?"
"Brother Cai, don't worry, my whole car is covered with charms and I can't run away."
"You two, you two, can you turn on the heater? I'm freezing to death. Why do you do this for half a day?"
In the winter in the Northeast, it is minus 20 degrees Celsius during the day. The warm car, without continuous heating, becomes the same as the outside in more than 20 minutes.
Cai Gen and Zhen Shuiyin had been there for more than an hour, and Xiao Tmall was almost frozen into a popsicle.
Pointing to the garbage pile outside and the wild cats rummaging for food, Cai Gen said contemptuously.
“Xiaotian, look at this person, he’s not wearing any clothes, he’s not working hard in life.
You are just too squeamish. What's wrong with being colder? Can't you overcome it with willpower? ”
Xiao Tianmao's mouth was too cold to work, and he didn't want to refute Cai Gen's fallacy.
I am a hairless cat, a tropical breed, so I don’t need an explanation.
If he wasn't afraid of setting the car on fire, he would have wanted to summon the black flames.
On the way back, Zhen Shuiyin was not thinking about the dolphin in the trunk. That thing had no destructive power and was just a snack for Xiao Tmall.
Of course, for ordinary people, especially the elderly, the harm is relatively great.
Zhen Shuiyin's mind is now full of Aunt Li's pride, pride, and loss and helplessness.
"Brother Cai, tell me, Aunt Li's son has obviously made his mark. Why do I still feel that Aunt Li is dissatisfied?"
Cai Gen was brought up by Zhen Shuiyin, and he didn't know how to explain to her that this was a very subtle relationship, and it was a very euphemistic form of expression.
Unless you have personal experience, you won’t understand.
"Xiao Shui, I have never heard you mention that my family has any grudges against wealthy families?"
Zhen Shuiyin stepped on the accelerator and accelerated instantly. The feeling of the car pushing her back made Cai Gen swallow all the unreliable questions and quickly put on her seat belt without paying attention to her answers.
"Sister, this is an urban area, slow down, slow down, points will be deducted from speeding fines."
It wasn't until Cai Gen asked for a fine that Zhen Shuiyin slowed down the car.
"Brother Cai, don't ask anymore. You are the only family I have in this world."
Are they all dead?
It's not a big deal. Why is it so sensitive?
It's obviously an excuse. If Cai Gen can't tell this clearly, then he's not a Virgo.
"You asked just now, why is Aunt Li dissatisfied?"
"Forget it, I don't want to know anymore. It's just dissatisfaction, and it has nothing to do with me."
There was a moment of silence, and Cai Gen prepared a long paragraph later.
Analysis on the increase in empty-nest elderly and the loss of young population in Northeast China.
As a result, people didn't want to hear it anymore, and Cai Gen felt a little uncomfortable.
Because, before leaving the big city, I conducted in-depth research for a period of time.
In the end, I chose family relationship and career.
Then came the hard days of the past few years.
Cai Gen can’t say he regrets it, he can only say that his original research was a bit one-sided.
I can't help but think of the sentence circulating on the Internet.
There are four kinds of fools.
Thinking that what others can do, you can do too;
If you think you can’t do it, others can’t do it either;
Thinking that you can do what others say you can do;
You think that if others say you can't do it, you can't do it.
Cai Gen is one of those fools, who naively faces all kinds of things in life with the attitude that gold will shine sooner or later.
The consequence is that maybe gold will shine. As for when, whether it will be a few years or tens of thousands of years, there is no say or estimate. When he returned to the store, as usual, there were no customers, and Cai Gen was not surprised at all.
Most of the students are on vacation. Even the senior high school students are scattered in various residential areas to make up classes, so they are not concentrated.
The irregularity of time resulted in irregular meals, so whether there were guests or not, we had to just leave it to chance.
I bought steamed buns in the morning, but I can’t lower my food standards at noon.
Cai Gen tightly restrained the little wild horse in his heart, so he might as well hug him a bit.
The reason why people who win the lottery usually don’t take a few years to do so is because they are too busy.
The longer you stay poor, the stronger your urge to spend money will be. If you suddenly become rich, your mentality will be unbalanced.
Cai Gen thought it was time to remember the hardships and think about the sweetness. The money has arrived, but the debt has not been repaid.
Deliberately wait two days before paying back, as long as the account is settled before the end of the year.
Allow yourself to feel what it feels like to be in deep debt for a few more days, and then ingrain it in your bones.
Face a debt-free life in the future in a normal and rational manner.
Cai Gen believes that he has a strong heart. He can restrain himself and hone his willpower like this, which ordinary people cannot do.
With this guiding ideology in mind, Cai Gen stewed a large pot of cabbage.
I didn't want to put pork, so I put five chicken racks, dried tofu and vermicelli.
The seasonings are well matched, and it is fragrant as soon as you open the pot. It is a standard chicken soup stewed with cabbage.
The big white steamed buns that have been frozen in the refrigerator and heated in the steamer will be the same as freshly steamed, both in appearance and taste.
When the meal was ready, the group of people, some who were following the time, some who were smelling the food, and some who were really hungry, all gathered in the store.
It smells good, but once you eat it, it changes.
Taste buds can be deceived, but the texture of meat and cabbage is not easy to deceive.
Shi Huozhu symbolically ate a steamed bun and began to eat vegetables slowly.
I regret that I ate less steamed buns in the morning. The lunch meal was not as good as the meat buns in the morning. I made a mistake.
It was rare for Xiao Timao not to eat, so he had to say that he wasn't hungry.
This caught Cai Gen's attention. To be called the King of Big Stomachs, Xiaoling Tmall definitely belongs to him.
How can he not be hungry?
Has he ever had enough to eat?
Is it because you dislike the food?
Just as he was about to educate Xiao Tmall, Duan Xiaohong came.
He must have deliberately forgotten what he said in the morning and picked up the liquor as soon as he entered the room.
No one asked, no one looked, just sat down to eat chicken racks and drink white wine.
He looked serious, very serious.
What Cai Gen said this morning was in vain.
For such an adult, it would be meaningless to talk too much.
Cai Gen does not have a hobby of forcibly exporting values.
Others would not care about the morning's debts and argue with Duan Xiaohong, which would be a bit of a loss of status.
Everyone was eating whatever they liked or not. When Duan Xiaohong finished eating the third chicken rack, the mine shook again.
The big pot of stewed cabbage almost spilled the soup, which made everyone very uncomfortable.
Cai Gen didn't feel anything at all. It brought back a lot of childhood memories. It was so good when he was a child.
"You have a new takeout order, please process it immediately. You have a new takeout order, please process it immediately."
I went and actually came to live?
Didn't you turn off the software?
Cai Gen looked at Xiao Sun doubtfully.
Xiao Sun was a little embarrassed and pretended to scratch his head to explain.
"I see, Third Uncle, you're back, and we have nothing to do. If you have any work, just give me some. It's worth it."
When others heard Xiao Sun say it, they all looked down upon him. A man with three melons and two jujubes is used to being poor, right?
Cai Gen felt that Xiao Sun's idea was very practical.
People must be down-to-earth and not drifting.
