I really don't want to be a teacher

Strolling old people with vegetables, young people in a hurry, couples leaning on each other and talking, all kinds of people passed by Lian Ge and the old monk, and then walked away behind them.

Lian Ge moved his steps along the street, watching and listening. The old monk was silent, propping up the branch, and also walking closely beside Lian Ge.

"...Here it comes, it comes, it's coming soon."

A middle-aged man on the phone hurried past Lian Ge and the two,

"...What do you want for lunch, baby?"

In a car waiting for a traffic light, a woman asks a child sitting in the back seat,

"...I haven't been home for a long time, let's go home this weekend and have a look?"

A young couple were talking and walked past Lian Ge

……

Mixed voices sounded in Lian Ge's ears, and then in the distance, they gradually faded away.

Lian Ge and the old monk walked forward, and one by one, the bustling and noisy streets, or the deserted and quiet streets were swept away.

Above the head, the sun behind the clouds and mist emerged from time to time, slowly changing its position.

"Squeak, squeak..."

After turning into a street, the squatting little white mouse on Lian Ge's shoulder raised its forelimbs and barked twice.

Lian Ge stopped, and the old monk followed closely and stopped.

"Benefactor Lian, what do you seem to be saying?" The old monk turned his head, looked at the little white mouse standing on Lian Ge's shoulder, and asked aloud,

"It said it was hungry." Lian Ge turned his gaze, glanced at the little white mouse, smiled slightly, looked away, and looked forward along the street in front of him.

Along both sides of the street, there are restaurants and restaurants. It is meal time, and the restaurants are full of diners, and people come in and out from time to time.

The aroma of the food, along with the noisy sound waves, spills out and permeates the whole street,

"Let's go, Master Jiekong."

Glancing, paused, Lian Ge said something, and walked towards one of the restaurants.

Hearing the words, the old monk paused on the spot,

"Benefactor Lian, the poor monk has no food money on him."

"Since you call me a benefactor, take this meal as my gift to you."

After a slight pause, Lian Ge continued to walk towards the restaurant,

The old monk stomped his feet again, but followed closely behind.

……

"...brother... this master,"

Stepping into the restaurant, the waiter who was busy at the side quickly greeted him,

First he greeted Lian Ge, then looked at the old monk, hesitated for a while, but still greeted with a smile,

"What do you two want to eat today?"

"...Boss, bring another case of beer over here, I want ice."

"I'm coming……"

The waiter just asked, and there was another shout in the restaurant,

The waiter quickly responded, then turned around, handed over the order menu with a pen attached,

"You two want to eat something, please tick it first, I'll come back right away,"

While talking, the waiter turned back and looked into the restaurant lobby,

"It's lunch time right now, and there are a lot of people. I'm afraid the two of you will have to wait for the table first. I'm really sorry...Take a seat first, and order the dishes first."

Lian Ge took the menu and the pen, glanced at the restaurant,

People are already seated at each dining table,

Several middle-aged men are sitting at the inner table, holding beer bottles or beer glasses, drinking wine,

An old couple is sitting by the window, eating and talking,

The table behind the old couple was slightly empty, and there was only a man sitting at the table, about thirty or forty years old, wearing a shirt on his upper body and trousers on his lower body.

Holding a pen, looking down at the order menu on the table, he seemed a little hesitant.

……

"The two of you will order first..."

The waiter said again, then turned and walked away again.

After Lian Ge glanced at the waiter, he looked at the middle-aged man who was ordering food. After a pause, he moved away and walked towards the dining table.

The old monk followed closely and also followed.

……

"...Brother, I wonder if we can share a table?"

Walking to the dining table, Lian Ge glanced at the man, smiled slightly, and asked,

Hearing this, the hesitant man holding the menu raised his head, looked at Lian Ge and the old monk standing beside him, then turned his head, looked at other tables in the restaurant,

"Please."

Looking away, the man looked at Lian Ge and the old monk, and nodded.

Smiling, Lian Ge sat down at the table.

The old monk looked at the man, remained silent, and sat down beside him.

And this man lowered his head again, looking at the menu, his eyes flicked over the dishes, but the pen in his hand did not fall.

Looking at the man again, Lian Ge turned his gaze back,

……

"What would Master Jiekong want to eat?" Lian Ge asked aloud, holding a pen.

"... Let's have a bowl of clear porridge or plain noodles." The old monk turned around, paused, and replied.

Lian Ge heard the words, glanced at the old monk, and didn't say anything more, just sketched a few strokes on the menu.

On the other side of the table, the hesitant man also made a note on the menu, and then stopped.

……

"...Brother. There are two more, have you ordered all the dishes?"

The busy waiter wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked over again, and asked aloud,

Seeing that Lian Ge and the man had already paused their pens, they reached out and took the menu.

"...twice-cooked pork, lychee meat, one serving of vegetarian stir-fried vegetables without green onions, one serving of vegetable porridge...you two, wait a moment, I'll serve you two right away."

The waiter first glanced at the dishes ordered by Lian Ge and the old monk, and then glanced at the menu ordered by the man.

"You want vegetarian fried potato shreds, right? Do you want something else?" The waiter turned his head, looked at the man, and asked,

"Please serve another bowl of rice." The man nodded and said aloud,

"Sure, then wait a moment." The waiter answered, took two order menus, turned around quickly, and walked away again.

After watching the waiter walk away, Lian Ge turned his gaze back, glanced at the man across the table, then withdrew his gaze, looked outside the restaurant through the side window,

And the man was a little silent, looking at the front, his eyes were a little absent-minded,

The old monk turned his gaze and looked at the tables of customers in the restaurant.

……

"...Our son has been away for so long this time, and he hasn't come back, and he doesn't know what's going on outside."

"Didn't you just call home a few days ago? If you want me to tell you, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. When the child grows up, if he is tossing outside, let him tossing..."

Behind Lian Ge and the old monk sitting at the dining table, the old couple were talking, eating,

"It's not the meat that fell from your body, you don't feel bad."

"I don't mean that, it's not that the child is busy outside, it's not good to make a phone call all day long, isn't it..."

"...Hey, that's right, you said it's not easy for the child to be outside..."

...It seemed that he also heard the voices from the next table. Opposite Lian Ge, the man raised his head and looked at the old couple, feeling a little absent-minded.

Chapter 353

"...It was late at night a few days ago, I called him, he was still noisy, and he was still busy at the company... It's noon, I don't know if I have dinner..."

"...After a while, send him some dried fish. He likes to eat this. There are still some in the refrigerator at home. We just can't eat much."

……

"...Let's go one more time, brothers... Let's have fun! Come, let's eat vegetables."

"It's been a long time since we guys came out to get together, the last time was in the first half of the year..."

……

"Come on, try this, this taste is not bad... I will hold the child, you can eat first."

"...Be careful, you are a sleazy boy, and don't drop the child in a while."

"...Xin Xin is good, daddy hug... Let mom eat first, and then feed Xin Xin after mom finishes eating."

……

"... I heard from Lao Cheng that your child is getting married?"

"...Congratulations, congratulations, remember to send me an invitation when the time comes..."

……

"...waiter, add another dish!"

"Hey, here we come..."

……

"...Brother, you still have rice for your fried potato shreds."

"...Brother, this master, your dishes have been served, do you want to order something?"

On the other side of the dining table, the man listened to the voice of the old couple at the next table, lost his mind,

Beside him, the old monk looked at the tables of customers in the restaurant, his eyes were a little dazed.

Looking out the window, Lian Ge listened to the mixed and noisy voices in the restaurant,

"I'm tired."

Turning his gaze back, he glanced at the old monk, then at the man across the table, Lian Ge looked at the waiter, and responded.

"Don't bother, don't bother... Brother, wait a moment, I'll get you some food."

The waiter responded and walked away quickly again.

……

"Zen Master Jiekong, it's time to eat."

Lian Ge turned his gaze back, picked up the chopsticks by the table, and said calmly,

"Amitabha, thank you Lord Lian."

Hearing the sound, the old monk withdrew his gaze, paused for a while, then recited a sentence, picked up the chopsticks, and picked up the bowl of porridge.

On the other side of the dining table, some absent-minded men seemed to have heard the voice, and looked away from the old couple at the side dining table.

Holding the chopsticks, he lowered his head, paused, remained silent, picked up the rice bowl, sandwiched the fried shredded potatoes on his side, and started eating.
