Senior Superstar

  Chapter 43 Zen

  Li Shixin heard a saying before that people are particularly vulnerable when they are hungry.

  Seeing Li Erchun crying for more than ten minutes, he sighed faintly: "Young man, can crying solve the problem? Can you care if you are hungry?"

  Faced with Li Shixin’s advice, Li Erchun's neck was stubborn: "I feel comfortable crying! Uuuuuu"

  Fifteen minutes later.

  With a huge grunt, Li Erchun finally stopped sobbing. He looked at Li Shixin, who was staring at him with a smile and blushed: "No."

   Li Shixin spread his hands and said, "Isn’t that over? Young man, let me ask you, do you have these four dollars and fifty cents left?"

   "Yeah." Li Erchun nodded.

  Li Shixin thought for a while, and said silently: "It's enough."

  "What did you say, old man?" Li Erchun didn't hear clearly.

   "Oh." Li Shixin patted the dust on his body, stood up from the ground, and smiled: "I mean, boy, do you want to fill your stomach?"

"miss you."

  The young man nodded, "But this little money is not enough for a bowl of noodles."

"Haha." Li Shixin said with a smile: "I will teach you how to eat a full meal! The steamed buns in the pasta shop over there are six cents apiece. You can buy six, and you will negotiate with the proprietress and let her charge you three and five cents. Then go to the canteen over there to buy a bag of mustard greens for one dollar, and then go to the bank over to pick up two glasses of free boiling water."

  (O_O)?

  The young man Li Erchun figured it out, and felt that something was wrong: "Why should I buy six steamed buns, I can’t eat so many? Also, why should I take two glasses of boiling water?"

  Li Shixin turned his back and raised his chin slightly.

   "I haven't eaten because of your uncle."

  Three steamed buns with mustard shreds were eaten, and they drank a glass of boiling water slowly in the sun. Li Shixin felt super satisfied.

   looked at a gloomy face, and looked at Li Erchun, who was half of a bun in his hand. He smiled: "How about a young man, are you full? Don't you want to cry?"

  "Wow"

  Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the young man opened his mouth still holding a bun, and started crying loudly.

   "Why am I so miserable? Others can write novels to earn a million every day. I write a book and a book? Why can everyone get ahead, and I can't achieve anything?! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  On the overpass, the young man burst into tears. Seeing that Li Shixin didn't mean to leave, he whispered and recounted his experience.

  Roughly, it is the story of a writer on the Internet.

  After graduating from university, I felt proud and felt that ordinary work was not the life I wanted, so I ignored the strong opposition of my family and quit my job and wrote a novel online. After writing for two or three years, he published nearly 10 million characters, and one of them didn't speak, and he had a complete quarrel with his family.

  In the end, I could only move to Rongdian to rent a house. Recently, I lost my income due to the cutoff of the contribution fee. The landlord deducted the computer for meals to cover the rent and cleared it from the rental house.

"Everyone can get ahead, why do I have to?" At the end, Li Erchun raised half of the steamed bun in his hand and said bitterly: "You have to squat on the bridge and gnaw this dry steamed bun? Uncle, you can talk about it. , Is this reasonable?"

   Faced with this problem, Li Shixin raised his eyebrows and smiled.

   "Let me ask you young man, eating beef noodles for fifteen dollars is also a full stomach, and eating steamed buns for six cents is also full. Since they are full, what is the difference between beef noodles and steamed buns?"

   Faced with Li Shixin’s statement, Li Erchun's mouth curled up, “Old man, don’t tell me the truth, it’s all bullshit! I’ll ask you, put a bowl of beef noodles and a steamed bun in front of you, which one do you eat?”

   "Of course it's beef noodles!" Li Shixin was very honest.

  Li Erchun spread his hands, "Then it's over! Since there is something better than basic needs in this world, why not pursue it?"

  Li Shixin pursed his lips and said to his heart that this little fat man’s mouth was quite powerful.

  The lunch has already been tricked, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with such a person, so he stood up with a net bag containing a bottle.

  Unexpectedly, the little fat man got excited, grabbed him, pointed to the net bag and said, "Old man, what are you going to do?"

  Li Shixin spread his hands: "Pick up plastic bottles."

   "Heh!" Li Erchun sneered, and said: "You have about twenty bottles in your pocket now, enough for you to eat a bun at night. Then why do you go picking it up?"

  Li Shixin blinked his eyes, “Of course it’s because I want to eat beef noodles at night!”

  "" Faced with Li Shixin, this straightforward double-standard dog, Li Erchun was speechless for a while.

  Looking at the young man suffocating his anger and nowhere to vent, Li Shixin calmly said: "Young man, do you know the difference between me and you?"

  Li Erchun frowned and shook his head.

Li Shixin smiled, "The difference between me and you is that I just think that if I try to pick up enough bottles in the afternoon, I can eat beef noodles in the evening, so this afternoon I will be very fulfilled and happy. If it can be realized in the evening. If the goal is to eat the noodles, I will have greater happiness. And you"

  He pointed to the steamed buns in Li Erchun's hand and shook his head: "You are gnawing on the steamed buns reluctantly, while thinking about why you can't eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, when you can eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, and why can't you eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas."

  Looking at Li Erchun's face stunned, Li Shixin smiled slightly and withdrew his hand: "So you are upset."

  After speaking, Li Shixin lifted the net bag in his hand and turned around.

  After a few steps, he looked back, the guy was still staring at himself, and he stopped.

   "Boy, is there anything this afternoon?"

  Li Erchun shook his head.

"My old man is also a face-saving person. At noon, I just gave you a lunch for nothing. If you don't ask you to pass it out on the rivers and lakes, it doesn't sound good. Anyway, you are fine. Why don't you go to the mall with my old man? How about I invite you to have beef noodles tonight?"

  One afternoon, Li Erchun was carefully observing the old man in front of him.

  In the comprehensive shopping mall next to the Xicheng Passenger Terminal, the old man is roving between floors. Whenever I saw an empty bottle in the trash can, I picked it up carefully, unscrewed the bottle cap, squashed the bottle and put it in the net bag. Passing by the door of each store, I also smiled and asked the owner if he had any bottles or newspapers to throw away.

  His movements are not fast, the whole person seems to be a 0.75x speed video, shuttled between the four floors of the mall. However, the net bag in his hand swelled up unconsciously.

  When the shopping mall was off work, the net bag that had been dry had already needed Li Erchun's help. There are more than one hundred mineral water bottles densely packed inside!

  In addition to these empty bottles, the two also collected two large bags of advertising color pages.

"Finally, twenty-two catties of waste paper, eight cents a catty count you as seventeen yuan. A bottle of 14 catties, one catty and one five, count you 21. A total of thirty-eight yuan, here, take it. Yeah."

  It’s getting late. In a scrap purchase department near the passenger terminal, after compiling what had been done this afternoon, Li Shixin overturned the odd grandfather Mao in his hands and raised his eyebrows at Li Erchun.

   "What am I talking about? Enough for beef noodles, right?"

  He didn't know that Li Erchun's mind was no longer on the beef at this time.

   Dragging a large suitcase, and following Li Shixin around the mall all afternoon to act as a coolie, Li Erchun was already as tired as a dog.

   "Old man, it's late this day. We don't have a place to live yet. It's better for you to see if there is a cheaper guest house and rent a bed. Let's squeeze together and make do for the night!"

  Hearing this statement, Li Shixin was delighted: "Boy smashed, dare to love me for a hard and busy afternoon, just to squeeze the bed board of the small hotel with you? What's the point of picking up bottles this afternoon?"

  Li Shixin smiled, and waved his big hand: "When you say I invite you to eat noodles, I will invite you to eat noodles. As for where to stay at night and eat bowl of noodles, I will say it after you are happy!

  Looking at the back of the old man walking away with his hands, Li Erchun stomped his feet.

   "How did this old man survive this way!?"
