After rebirth, I was bound to the academic system

Wow, so this is what is called a self-service barbecue!

It really opened my eyes. There are so many delicious foods that I have never seen before.

Led by the waiter, we entered the restaurant, found the largest table and sat down.

Several people were busy looking for their favorite food.

"There are pizza, egg tarts, fried chicken, sushi... stir-fried dishes, cold dishes, etc. There are so many dishes, about a hundred of them. I really want to have a little bit of everything."

"They are really thankful now. After the bone and marrow cleansing last night, they have a great appetite and can eat a lot. They made the right choice to come to this self-service barbecue restaurant today. There are many dishes and a wide variety. Plus, they can eat a lot. Isn't this like being in heaven?"

"The table was filled with cooked food from the display stand, lamb, beef, pork belly, various seafood, various fried chickens, French fries..."

Taking a bite of the roasted lamb with the sauce, the taste is really amazing. For these old people, the taste of lamb is a thing of many years ago. In their limited memory, they have only eaten it once or twice, but they were all boiled lamb, not roasted and greasy like it is now. It is crispy and fragrant in one bite, and with one or two slices of garlic, it is so fragrant!

Although everyone ate a lot and quickly, the food didn't seem too irritating to the eyes because everyone looked good.

"When I saw the people around me looking at our table with envy, I felt a little proud and a little embarrassed, especially when I heard people around me talking in low voices."

"Audience member A: I didn't expect this family to be so good-looking and to be such a big eater. I envy them so much. Everyone who walks into the self-service barbecue restaurant has only one goal, which is to stand when entering and come out with support. They must eat their money back. But most of the time, those who can eat more can eat a few more dishes, while those who can't eat can drink a few drinks, eat some other food, and add some barbecue, and they will be full soon."

"They also want to be big eaters like us. What they envy the most is that my family is not only good-looking and has outstanding temperament, but also has great figures. We are the type that can eat without gaining weight."

I envy them so much, who wouldn't want this kind of physique? For some people who gain weight even by drinking cold water, they really envy and hate this kind of physique that is not easy to gain weight!

Passerby B: Yes, you see, even children can eat so much! This little boy is eating me out of money. Students who are still growing up are super eaters, not to mention that we have been eating non-stop since we sat down at the table. We are really eaters. Fortunately, he is not my child. Otherwise, if he eats like this, not only will I go bankrupt, but I might even have to pick up garbage!

"I don't know what these people are complaining about, but if you ask me, you people are really small-minded. You need to broaden your horizons. What's wrong with picking up trash? The monthly income of a trash picker is sometimes higher than that of a white-collar worker. You still look down on people who pick up trash, but you don't know that you work 996 every day, are pushed around by your boss, are tripped up by your colleagues, and have to squeeze into the subway and take the bus to work every day. When other people have free time, they can go to pick up trash whenever they want. There is no room for being squeezed, only for doing whatever they want."

Why do many people look down on garbage collectors?

Isn't it because they dislike the dirty and messy job of collecting waste from street to street? Some people are just shy and embarrassed to do this job, fearing that others will look at them differently.

I can only say to my friends, in the next few decades, as long as you are thick-skinned, you will be one step ahead of others and live a little easier. What's wrong with being thick-skinned? Is this a shortcoming? Do you dislike my thick skin? You can do it too! This thing is not my exclusive patent!

Little do people know that many thin-skinned people secretly envy those thick-skinned people, and say all kinds of disdainful words about those thick-skinned people, but they don’t know how jealous they are in their hearts and how much they want to be that kind of person.

If you want to be thick-skinned, do you have no emotional intelligence? If you don’t have a strong psychological foundation and some social skills, you can’t be called thick-skinned.

Shameless is a derogatory word in the eyes of some people, but it is a compliment in the eyes of some people with unique vision.

……

A barbecue buffet ended today's lunch amidst the strange looks from people around.

Wow, I'm so full! Grandpa exclaimed.

Me too, this is what my grandfather lamented.

This meal made me feel full, but it was such a good meal. I was full and satisfied, and with the envious eyes of people around me, this meal made me feel comfortable both physically and mentally, from the inside out.

I didn’t expect that being able to eat is an enviable skill.

Indeed, looking at the envious eyes of the people around me, it was quite appetizing and everyone ate too much without realizing it.

Especially the expressions of the waiters and the boss around are really intriguing. The expressions that make them feel like they have been at a disadvantage and that this family are good-for-nothings are really funny.

I was cursing in my heart, but I had to smile on the surface.

After all, in the catering business, especially in self-service restaurants, you can't say that every customer who comes in can make money! There will always be a few weird people who can eat a lot, but generally they are a minority.

They were also mentally prepared. If it was really too much, they could only pay this big eater to go to other people's homes, and they couldn't just take their own family to eat. Good friends share happiness and difficulties! If I don't have a good life, how can others escape?

The restaurant owner thought darkly.

"Walking out of the self-service barbecue restaurant, I saw everyone holding their stomachs with their hands, and then I looked at the eyes of the people around me in the mall. I could only silently take out a few hawthorns from the space and give one to each person to help digestion."

As they walked around the floors, everyone's hands were filled with large and small bags of clothes, as well as various food.

After experiencing the shock of last night, no one refused to pay for us anymore and accepted it naturally.

I also bought a lot of snacks, drinks, dried fruits, etc. in the supermarket on the underground floor.

"I found a corner and put all these things in my space. I looked at the time and found that there was a foreign blockbuster movie being released in the next few days. It would start in about ten minutes."

Grandpa and grandma, grandpa and grandma, I'll treat you to a movie!

See a movie?

"Speaking of watching movies, that was decades ago?"

As far as they can remember, the only time they had ever seen a movie was a film called "Liu Sanjie" shown by the commune projectionist in the brigade. That was their first time to come into contact with the big screen called a movie. The entire dam was packed with people, and every corner, big and small, was filled with people watching the movie.

The scene was so lively that it left a deep impression in their minds.

"As soon as I mentioned watching a movie, they all became interested. Are they the kind with a big screen? The kind that has a lot of people watching? They have never been to a theater to watch a movie before."

"Don't worry! This time I'm inviting you all to watch an American blockbuster. You'll know if it's good or not in a moment."

When people hear about American blockbusters, they are all looking forward to it, not to mention that in this era, as long as something or someone is mentioned as foreign, they are considered high-end.

"I picked a movie (2 Fast Furious)."

Nowadays, the gap between the rich and the poor is slowly widening. For people living in cities, watching a movie only requires time and they don’t have to think too much about money. After all, a movie ticket only costs a few dozen yuan, but what they get is happiness and satisfaction.

But for rural or poor families, the price of a movie ticket may be the living expenses of a junior high school student for a month. Even so, some families cannot afford the food expenses of students.

"Why don't you eat meat?"

"Just like before, my family couldn't afford 30 yuan a month for living expenses, but now, I can spend 50 or 60 yuan to watch a movie."

……

After holding the movie tickets and buying popcorn and Coke for everyone, I passed the ticket gate and arrived at Hall 3.

Now that the New Year is coming, everyone has money in their pockets, so it’s no big deal to bring your family and children to the cinema to watch a movie and splurge a little.
