The owner of this food stall is very nice. Seeing that Lin Chen and Zhang Tianan invited an old scavenger to eat, he smiled and brought up two bottles of beer, saying that they were given to Lin Chen and the others for free.

Lin Chen thanked the old man and said, “Old man, come here, you have a bottle, I have a bottle.”

The old man waved his hand and said politely, “No need, just drink it, young man.”

“Drink as much as you can, what’s more polite.” Lin Chen said with a smile.

The old man had no choice but to nod and take a bottle of beer that Lin Chen handed over. Lin Chen searched on the table, but did not see the bottle opener. He muttered why there was no bottle opener, and was about to ask the store owner to bring it. At that time, the old man spoke up.

He said, “I don’t need that thing, I’ll just use my teeth.”

Zhang Tian’an was afraid that the old man’s teeth couldn’t stand it, and just as he was about to stop it, the old man snorted and bit off the cap of the beer bottle.

After biting off the bottle cap, the old man looked at Lin Chen and said, “Young man, if you don’t dislike it, I will help you bite off the bottle cap.”

“How come.” Lin Chen smiled and passed the bottle of beer in his hand.

After biting open both bottles of wine, the old man wiped the mouth of the 16 bottles of Lin Chen’s bottle with a tissue and handed it back to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen and the old man touched the bottle and took a sip each.

“Old man, you are so old and your teeth are so good, it’s really rare.” Zhang Tian’an said.

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Tianai began to ask the old man’s home situation.

The old man and his wife have a son. They are a family of three. They had a good life, but that year, the old man’s son died unexpectedly.

The death of the son was a huge blow to the couple. After that, the old man and his wife lived together.

When the old man talked about the past and his son, there seemed to be tears in his eyes.

When Zhang Tianan saw it, she couldn’t bear it. She quickly changed the subject and said, “Old man, it’s all over, don’t be sad anymore. Are you and the old woman relying on scavenging to make a living?”

“My wife?”

The old man raised his head and said with some melancholy: “My wife is not in good health, and he passed away due to illness two years ago. In this world, I am the only one left…”

Zhang Tianai didn’t know what to say, and asked the old man’s family situation. The old man talked about his son’s sadness and asked the old man’s wife, and he passed away two years ago.

I found this topic by myself…

Lin Chen looked at the expression on the old man’s face, picked up the beer bottle, and said, “Old man, come and drink.”

The old man nodded, and after a few sips with Lin Chen, he put down the bottle again.

The three of them chatted while eating. The old man had a good appetite. He ate a lot of the dishes that Lin Chen ordered, and they were very clean. If it wasn’t for Zhang Tian’an, the old man would have chewed some of the dishes. Chicken bones were swallowed.

“You two are good people, young man, little girl, thank youYou guys, it’s getting late, I’m going back too. “The old man said to the two with a grateful face.

Zhang Tian’an nodded. After the old man stood up, Zhang Tian’an reached out to get his wallet in his pocket.

In this world, there are many old scavengers like this, and Zhang Tiannan can’t help, but since he met this old man and talked so much, it’s okay to give him two hundred yuan to show his feelings.

Just when Zhang Tian’an took out his wallet, Lin Chen’s voice rang: “Old man, wait.”

The old man just bent down and picked up his woven bag. Hearing Lin Chen’s words, he turned his head and asked in doubt, “What’s the matter, young man?”

Lin Chen stood up and said, “The place where you live is not far from where we live. It just happened to be on the way. Let’s take you back.”

Zhang Tian’an was stunned for a moment. The place where he lives is not far from his uncle’s house?

This is a suburb. If you take a taxi home now, it will take at least an hour, and it is in the opposite direction of the old man’s residence.

However, Zhang Tianan immediately realized that the old man had just fallen and drank a little bit of wine. It is estimated that Lin Chen was kind and worried, the old man should send him back.

After the old man heard the words, he waved his hand and said, “No need, I’ve eaten a meal with you, and I want you to take me back.”

“It’s alright, it’s not far anyway.” Zhang Tianai added.

The old man was still embarrassed to refuse, but he couldn’t beat Lin Chen and Zhang Tianan, and finally had to agree.

Lin Chen stepped forward, snatched the two woven bags with a lot of waste in the old man’s hand, and said with a smile that he would just help him carry them.

Seeing this, Zhang Tiannan thought that although this guy Lin Chen was a bit annoying sometimes, he had a good heart, and he knew that he took the initiative to get something for the old man.

It’s not far from the old man’s residence, so Lin Chen and the others didn’t take a taxi and walked back with the old man.

Lin Chen deliberately slowed down his pace so that Zhang Tian’an and the old man could walk faster than him.

It’s almost ten o’clock in the evening, and it’s late at night, and there are fewer cars on the road. The dim street lights on both sides of the road, the light falls on the old man and Zhang Tian’an, and the two of them are drawn very long.

Lin Chen, who was a little behind, gently opened the two woven bags belonging to the old man in his hand. He glanced inside. It was full of mineral water bottles and waste paper shells 360, mixed with a few pieces of rusty iron.

After reading all the contents in the woven bag, Lin Chen closed the woven bag and walked as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Tianan, who was walking in front, suddenly found that Lin Chen was not by her side, she turned to look, only to find that Lin Chen was more than ten meters behind her.

“Hey, Lin Chen, why are you walking so slowly?” Zhang Tianan said, she wanted to send the old man home quickly, so she took a taxi back.

It’s getting late now, and I have to get up early tomorrow to handle the case.

The old man also turned around and said embarrassedly, “Young man, isn’t the content in those two bags too heavy? Let me take it.”

“No, I can handle it.” Lin Chen said, continuing to carry the woven bag, speeding up his pace.

The three of them crossed the road, and after walking for a while, the old man pointed to a dark path on the left with trees on both sides, and said, “You can just take me here, this road is a short cut, I will go back from here for comparison. quick.”

Zhang Tianan was in a hurry to go home, but seeing that the road was so dark that there was almost no light, she said, “Old man, do you have a flashlight on you?”

The old man shook his head and said, “I don’t need a flashlight. I come out to pick up things at night, and I often walk at night. I’m used to it.”
