Han Fei doesn't know how hard the working people at the bottom of the society are, but he has never felt so intuitive for a moment.
His wife is hospitalized in bed, and there is a little granddaughter who has just turned four years old at home. The old man has to support his home by a small shoe mending stand. Looking at the empty trouser legs in front of the old man's wheelchair, Han Fei also has some bad feelings.
"Old man, if you're not busy, you can chat with me for a while." Han Fei then handed over a big Su. The old man looked up and saw that there were no more than two pairs of shoes left. Then he wiped his hands with a smile and took the cigarette from Han Fei.
At the moment, Le Xiaotian just came out of the store with a pack of cigarettes and two bottles of water. He saw Han Fei sitting on the pony and chatting with the old shoe mender. After a little hesitation, he still didn't go there.
Just looking at this scene from a distance, Le Xiaotian was very touched in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was for a while.
They had been chatting for more than 20 minutes, and they didn't know what topic they were talking about. They both laughed heartily. That's when Han Fei was about to get up, he noticed that the overcoat style on the old man was special.
"Old man, your dress looks good. If you get this style at the fashion show, maybe you can get a big prize back." Han Fei opened his mouth and said that although the cuff has been worn out for a long time, he can still vaguely see the dark green.
After all, Han Fei is not a soldier in China. If Li Guoshun were here, he would be able to see something from this humble overcoat. Who would have thought that an old man who lives on mending shoes for his old age would wear an authentic M65.
Li Guoshun is a Chinese soldier who is rooted in Miao Hong. Naturally, he knows that this style is the favorite of veterans who retired from the Vietnam War. After all, Han Fei has been abroad all the time, and it's only a short month or so since he returned to China. Naturally, he doesn't know about it.
As usual, the old man waved his hand and said with a smile, "don't make fun of me, you little guy. How can you win the grand prize? That's what people used to wear. "
Han Fei didn't say anything. Then he suddenly changed the conversation and asked, "old man, it's enough for you to have a meal with a shoemaker like this. Although you don't need radish and cabbage to keep fit, your little granddaughter can't grow up like you, and she can't eat dry rice and pickles every day, can she?"
"And eggs and sausages." The old man spoke.
Rice alone costs a kilo, not to mention this kind of worthless pickle. It's enough for two days to save a little bit of food. On this day, when the stall is set up, you can earn seven or eight yuan. You can buy some eggs, ham sausage and noodles for your granddaughter. You can't think of any more money left.
"Old man, you're very open-minded, but you can't keep your granddaughter from going to kindergarten, can you? Even if you always teach her arithmetic and character in elementary education, in a few years, she will have to go to primary school, right
Han Fei didn't say much, and the old man's hand in threading stopped again.
"The child's life is miserable!" The old man helplessly said a word, the face full of wrinkles looks more and more vicissitudes.
Han Fei immediately changed his words and said, "I think you're very good at your craft, sir. The main thing is that the advertisement is not in place. You think, there are several rich people living in this place. They all have to quarrel with the peddlers for a long time.
If you look at the rich people on TV, they will give tips to the waiters. They all say that wine is not afraid of deep alleys. What do you think of this? Your skills are strong. I'll help you make an advertisement later. Don't go out to set up a stall so hard in the future. Just go straight to the front of your house. I can't guarantee anything else, It shouldn't be a big problem to make a hundred and eighty dollars a day. "
The old man looked up at Han Fei in surprise and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Old man, if you can trust me, I'll close the stall when I mend these shoes. I can't earn three melons and two dates even if I dry them in the sun for a long time." Han Fei said. At this time, a milky voice came from a distance: "grandfather, I've come to bring you water."
"Tingting." The old man looked at his little granddaughter, his face full of love.
Han Fei also turned to look in the past, saw a little girl wearing two sheep horn braids, compared with the last time I saw a trace of blood on her face.
The girl opened her eyes when she saw Han Fei, and then her tears began to flow down. Han Fei laughed at the little girl. When the old man didn't know why, the little girl choked and said, "grandfather, it's this uncle who sent grandma to the hospital. He and his aunt are good people."
The old man suddenly realized that his body was stiff. Then he looked back at Han Fei, and there were tears in his turbid eyes.
"Boy, I really... Really..."
The old man couldn't speak, so Han Fei went up quickly. The old man grasped Han Fei's hand tightly. The old man was so powerful at this moment. Even Han Fei felt some pain in his hand.
"Don't get excited, old man. I've come across this matter." Han Fei said.
"Child, I really thank you!" The old man held Han Fei's hand tightly. Besides, he had no way to express his gratitude.
The other day, when he was busy at home, he suddenly heard the bad news. The old man also felt a whirl of heaven and almost fainted. That is to say, the cry of his little granddaughter always reminds him that he can't fall down now. He must stay in this family, at least until the little granddaughter can live independently.
At that time, in addition to the police station and the neighborhood committee, there was also a beautiful girl. It was only then that the old man knew that bad luck had hit their home, but it was God's blessing that his wife met a kind-hearted person.
When his wife went to the hospital, the medical expenses were all given. The police station said it was given by the driver who caused the accident. The old man also believed it at the beginning, and he was very grateful to the girl who sent her granddaughter back.
At that time, when the girl gave him 20000 Yuan medicine, the old man resolutely refused to accept it. He met a kind-hearted man who was already his wife. He just wanted his wife to survive the disaster. How could he ask for the money of a kind-hearted man? This is not a lack of conscience and morality!
The old man is very simple and principled, which means that the old man is very simple in some aspects. At the beginning, he really thought that his wife's medical expenses were paid by the driver who caused the accident. He just wondered why no one came to give them a clear explanation after so long.
It was only later that he learned from the gossip of some neighbors that the driver who caused the accident ran away and had a very big background. If someone didn't help them stop him, he would even accuse them of wrongdoing. The old man knows that blackmail is impossible. They are destitute. Even if they sell everything, they can't get a meal for the rich. As for the purpose of doing this, after all, the old man has been up and down for so many years, and his heart is as clear as a mirror.
Apart from being sad, I am also grateful to the kind-hearted young people. For so many years at the bottom of the society, I have seen through the cold and warm feelings of the old people, and met by chance to save people's lives. There are really not many such people in this world.
Although life has given them too much misfortune, they are still lucky after all.
The old man wanted to thank the young couple face to face, but he didn't have the slightest contact information. He could only tell the little granddaughter once and for all that he had the ability to repay the kind uncle and aunt when he grew up.
Day by day, the old man was supporting the shoe repair stand at the intersection day after day. He never thought that the benefactor would appear in front of him in this way one day.
If Xiao Sun didn't come to deliver water, he always thought that Han Fei was an enthusiastic and talkative guy. He would never have thought that he was the benefactor who saved his wife.
"Thank you, child! Thank you
From the contact just now, Han Fei can see that the old man is a resolute person. Although he doesn't know what he experienced and did when he was young, looking at his old military uniform and empty trouser legs, he should be a person with a story.
The man doesn't shed tears, but he doesn't go to the emotional place. Seeing the old man shed two lines of turbid tears from the corner of his eyes, Han Fei quickly said: "old man, you really don't have to do this."
In the distance, Le Xiaotian seems to have thought of something. Originally, a bystander's eyes were blurred. Then he turned and went into the store, bought a box of milk and biscuits and ran up.
After more than ten minutes, the old man's mood stabilized. Han Fei knew the old man's temperament. If he had to use the cover of love to let people accept something against his nature, it would be cruel in itself.
For those who are stingy or idle, as far as the aunts with short beds are concerned, they are so poor and stubborn that they refuse to accept other people's handouts. This is the brain disease. They deserve to suffer for their whole life!
Even if it's not food from scratch, it's still against the old man's nature that he doesn't want to be easily shaken all his life.
Han Fei, by contrast, prefers to help the family in other ways. At the beginning, Zhang Xue was asked to help Qingxue with her homework. Now, it's the same reason to let the old man repair shoes at home.
Haiya has so many people up and down, and Du Jinlong has hundreds of younger brothers. After a long time, who can have few pairs of shoes to mend?
If you want to mend a pair of shoes for 10 yuan and 20 yuan, you may not be able to find a stall even if you drive around the city center. Although those white-collar women earn a lot of money, they are not extravagant and wasteful enough to throw away and buy new shoes with a little damage.
Han Fei said it's advertising. In fact, it's advertising. Although there is a caring element in it, it has been diluted and can be ignored.
This kind of street ruffians and hooligans, who are the most indispensable in shantytowns, can even take a few packs of cigarettes from the shop without paying and slap the shopkeeper twice. They are crazy about the street vendors who set up stalls, but they never have any idea of respecting the old and loving the young.
Du Jinlong's younger brothers come every so often, which provides an extra layer of protection. In other words, the surrounding public security will be greatly improved. They have to rub a meal with the Forest Bureau some time.
"You're right to listen to me, old man. It's almost over." Han Fei laughs.
At this time, the old man also adjusted his mood. Then he packed up his tools and said to his little granddaughter, "Tingting, go for your grandfather and send these shoes to your fourth aunt."
The little girl answered and ran to the opposite side of the road with her shoes in her arms. But then, a sudden sound of braking came, followed by a burst of angry shouting: "whose dead girl! Blind! Believe it or not, I'll just step on the gas and run over you! "
