roses and lilies

Ah Xiang's father, the old man, left the village with his wife. They wanted to go outside and set their son's school as the goal of their long-distance trek. The simple villagers saw them off reluctantly. The 200 yuan given to them was their last resort, and they could not move it unless it was an emergency.

Walking slowly along the railway line, two shambling figures stepped on the vast land, and the setting sun cast the afterglow.A pair of dusty hands took up the gurgling stream and drank it down, hungrily begging along the street, along the way, came to a strange city with a rustic atmosphere, high-rise buildings, reinforced concrete jungles, neat asphalt roads, handsome men and beautiful women , feasting and feasting.

The wife said to the old man curiously: "There are too many fresh things in this city. I have everything I want to eat? Nuoda's supermarket doesn't even have a waiter. They just go in and get it, and then leave immediately. It seems that they don't need money. Yes. Do you think we don’t need money for it?”

The old man smiled slightly, and said jokingly: "You old woman, you think beautifully, are you hungry again? People pay by face recognition, and the bank card tied to the real name system is automatically deducted. How can you not want money? That's not possible." Did you rob it?" My wife nodded and smiled after listening.

Trembling, the old man took out a one-yuan coin from the broken bowl, bought a sesame seed cake, and watched his wife eat it with relish.I didn't forget to tell my wife to slow down and don't choke.My stomach growled continuously, and I thought to myself, if I bear it any longer, I can carry it for a while.It is not easy to ask for some money.

In fact, there are many people with the same occupation as them in these cities.These actors who make a living by begging change their tricks and integrate fresh ideas and ideas into their careers. Some wear their arms under their clothes and leave only two empty sleeves to pretend to be disabled.Some used Panasonic subwoofers and microphones to show off their singing skills in front of the street.Some let their companions lie on the side of the road and pretended to be dead, and they took a porcelain bowl to beg for help.There are many methods, emerging in endlessly.Some simply print out their own QR codes and place them next to the broken porcelain bowls to prevent people from refusing to pay because they have no change. Mobile phone scanning codes and bank transfers make begging more diversified.

There are too many places that insult people's IQ in this city, and some people really treat people like magic pens.Beggars don't even think about it, beggars who can afford stereos, mobile phones and online banking will believe whether they are real or fake.On the contrary, the old man and his wife don't need to dress up carefully, nor do they need to cover up deliberately.It is completely original, without any technological content, but it is easy to make people sympathize and pity.

The old couple's business is really booming, making colleagues jealous.The fake beggars started to rob.The old man and his wife are both old, where are their opponents, and he has left his hometown and is unfamiliar with the place, so how dare he cause trouble.You have to shoot one shot and change places to engage in guerrilla warfare.

At night, the wind was blowing hard, and the old man took off his worn-out coat and wrapped it around his wife, shivering from the cold.How to spend the long, cold night.Still the old man was clever, he found an extremely warm and comfortable little home.

The hut of the ATM is clean and tidy, the warm-colored tiles shine brightly, and the electroplated sliding doors are tightly closed.There will be voice prompts for operations on the electronic screen from time to time.Although it was a bit noisy, those two pairs of tired and sleepy eyes had already closed involuntarily, and fell asleep until dawn.

The old man woke up from his sleep, and the cashiers looked at the two ragged old men with weird eyes, and what's more, they pointed with their fingers, and said to their children: "I know why you should study hard!" Right? That's what happens when you don't study hard. Stay away from them, and be careful not to get lice and fleas!"

People left in a hurry after withdrawing the money, like a mouse seeing a cat, afraid of avoiding it.In the old man's mind, the most important thing is not Ah Xiang, but his beloved wife, who has been poor with him since he was young, has children, and carries on the family line.He rushed to do the dirty work, and when he arrived, he had to wander with him for a hundred years, living a life of no fixed place.Thinking about it, the old man felt sad.He hurriedly got up and looked at his wife next to him.I saw my wife lying peacefully on the bright tiles, motionless, his face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, the old man subconsciously pushed with his wrinkled old hands, but there was no response.Then he pushed hard a few more times while calling his wife's name, but there was still no response.The old man quickly came to his wife and put his hands close to his nose. The wife was cold and had already passed away.The old man howled hoarsely: "Help, dead man, help, dead man."

In the early morning, when most people are still lingering in their dreams, when the flowers are blooming and the moon is falling.The master has already walked out of the house with the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Today's business development tasks are still heavy. I think that my business is still in its infancy. Accumulating customers is the key. She just came to the insurance company. She needs to use her hard work to prove herself newcomer status in the industry.She needs to pre-deposit some insurance premiums for customers in order to serve customers in an all-round way.Just when she came to the door of the ATM, she heard an old man shouting for help at the top of her lungs. She subconsciously thought it was robbery.Looking in through the window, an old man in shabby clothes was guarding an old woman who was also in shabby clothes, crying.She hurriedly opened the sliding door and said to the old man, "Master, what's wrong? Do you need help?"

The old man hastily knelt down to the master and kowtowed loudly.He also said loudly: "Save my wife, I beg you, please save her!"

The master hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed the emergency number.Not long after, a white van shone with dazzling blue light, and the rapid and hysterical music resounded through the entire street, breaking the tranquility of the morning.The angels in white and the doctors quickly came to the corpse with a stretcher and a pacemaker, and the pacemaker pressed hard on the chest of the corpse.There was no movement at all for 10 minutes.The doctor and nurse shook their heads helplessly, saying that it was too late and there was no way to recover.

The old man was crying so hard that the deceased was parked in the mortuary of the hospital. The accumulation of various expenses made the old man troubled. He took out the precious 200 yuan to pay for it. This huge amount of property that he and his wife promised to take out at a critical moment was finally handed over at this moment. Useful.The old man knelt down on his knees and told his story. The masters and doctors wept secretly after hearing this, and they were very sympathetic to the experience of the old man's family. I didn't expect that there were so many suffering and impoverished valleys in a distant land. What about the farmers.

The master was soft-hearted, she couldn't see other people's embarrassment and disaster, and said to the doctor: "I will pay for this fee, and the person will be parked in the morgue first. I will go to the school to find his son for the uncle, so that the uncle's son and the dead mother can meet. Let's have the last side. Then we will take care of the funeral."

The doctors said one after another: "Well, our hospital also mobilized employees to donate money to the uncle's family to help them tide over the difficulties."

Hearing everyone's earnest words, the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, and his gratitude was beyond words.Although the weather outside the window was cold, the old man's heart was covered so warmly by everyone!
