American comic: Attack of the Witcher

"Grandma Wang, look who is here"

Tang Mingrui took Lu Xuan to an old-looking restaurant on the street across from the Art Institute. There was an old-looking sign posted on the store that read: Grandma's Breakfast Shop.

Compared with the gorgeously decorated shops nearby, the small shop looks very simple. Even the paint on the tables and chairs used for dining inside has peeled off, and the exposed logs inside are also darkened by the dust of the years. But overall it's pretty neat.

The owner of the breakfast shop is an old woman who looks to be about seventy years old. She is the Grandma Wang who Tang Mingrui called as soon as he entered the door.

Grandma Wang is thin and her complexion is much fairer compared to the sallow complexion of the poor old man in the mountain village. Her body has been bent by the pressure of time, one or two protruding bones are exposed on her back, and her eyes have become cloudy and no longer clear.

Her shiny hair had turned snow-white, as if dyed with a layer of silver frost.

"Alas." After hearing what Tang Mingrui said, Grandma Wang slowly turned her head, looked at Tang Mingrui with her cloudy eyes, then looked at Lu Xuan Shouhou and others, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly realized Said: "Oh, you are Li Yugang, right? I remember you haven't been here for a long time."

"Grandma Wang, don't you remember me? I am Mingrui. You used to put an extra half spoonful of porridge in my bowl." Tang Mingrui walked to the old man's side and asked with a smile.

"Octavia" Grandma Wang thought to herself with dull eyes, and finally shook her head and sighed: "I don't remember. The older this person gets, the more serious his Alzheimer's disease will be. His memory will decline very badly. Many people and things will be forgotten in the blink of an eye."

Tang Mingrui stretched out his hand and put it on Wang's shoulder. While massaging her gently, he slowly said: "I am the Tang Mingrui who was among the first batch of students when the art school branch opened six years ago. I am the worst student in the whole school." The most notorious naughty boy, he once fought with others in front of your store. I came to see you last month and brought you two bottles of medicinal wine. Have you forgotten?"

Grandma Wang did not resist because Tang Mingrui suddenly touched her body for massage. On the contrary, she looked like she was enjoying it. It was obvious that she often got such treatment.

Lu Xuan, who saw this scene from the side, was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. Tang Mingrui, known as the most famous dandy in Shengjing City, actually lowered his status and gave a massage to a grandmother who sold breakfast on the roadside. This treatment was He doesn't have any biological parents, right?

Who is Grandma Wang? She is worthy of this naughty and bad young master who does all kinds of evil. In the blink of an eye, she turns into a filial and obedient baby.

"Oh, Octavia, I remember. You were so naughty back then. You often bullied girls in the school and beat other students." Grandma Wang thought for a while, and finally recalled Tang Mingrui, and said countless of these two things at once. The young master did all sorts of barbaric things when he was young.

After talking a lot, she ordered Tang Mingrui to sit next to her, then stretched out her calloused hands, touched Tang Mingrui's face with a kind face, and asked with care and concern like a grandmother: "You stinky Boy, you have grown up a lot after not seeing each other for a few days. I remember that you and Wang Xiaohua from the second class had a heated conversation at that time. How about getting married and having children? I told you that Xiaohua is a good girl. If you don't marry me, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Recalling Tang Mingrui's origins, Grandma Wang suddenly became his real grandma. She talked to the family about things like getting married and having children, remembering to wear clothes when the weather was cold, and so on. She was no different from his real grandma.

Tang Mingrui could only answer obediently sometimes, even if there were some things he failed to do, he would lie in good faith, such as marrying Wang Xiaohua and having a fat boy, etc., just to make the old man happy.

After doing the housework for about five or six minutes, the old lady patted her head and suddenly realized: "Oh, look at me. I was so busy chatting with you that I forgot to give you something to eat. You must have come here before you had breakfast. Look at me. I actually forgot about this, causing you kids to stand there hungry for so long. Go sit down quickly and grandma will give you something to eat."

The next moment, the old woman started to stand up and went to get the food, but Tang Mingrui stopped her and started to get the food himself.

This idiot said before that there is a delicious breakfast shop in front of the Art Institute. In fact, it is fried dough sticks, steamed buns, tea eggs, white rice porridge and other foods that can be seen everywhere in the slums no matter which street, the taste is not much better. go.

But Tang Mingrui was so funny. The moment he opened the steamer, he couldn't help but grab a hot bun and stuff it into his mouth. While it was so hot, he kept patting it away with his hands while gasping for breath and shouting, "It's delicious." "It's delicious." He looked very happy, just like seeing the candy bought by his parents when he was a child.

The scenes this morning gave Lu Xuan a new understanding of his Erbi.

"I guess you must want to know if Wang's story is right?" After putting all the food on the table, Tang Mingrui sat opposite Lu Xuan and raised his eyebrows and asked suspiciously.

"Nonsense." Lu Xuan rolled his eyes at him and really wanted to spit out these two words.

Tang Mingrui grabbed a meat bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with unclear enunciation: "Grandma Wang is one of the best old people in this area. Almost everyone who has received her kindness will be grateful and remember her in their hearts for the rest of their lives."

He gnawed on the buns with relish and spoke slowly: "Twenty years ago, housing prices in Shengjing were less than 2000 per square meter. Outside the third ring road were suburbs, and this was a small town. Behind this street was the town primary school. It’s still in operation, but the teaching buildings have been renovated. Grandma Wang sold breakfast here twenty years ago, with buns and fried dough sticks for cents each.”

"The nationwide liberalization of grain prices in 1993 caused price inflation to soar. Rice rose to 2 yuan, and pork to 8 yuan. Ten thousand yuan is equivalent to the current purchasing power of 95 yuan. It was not until that prices began to slowly fall. The price of cents a bun is not expensive, especially in a small town like the capital. Many students come here to buy breakfast. But now, Grandma Wang still sells cents a bun, and the price has not changed. , and the fillings are not cut corners, think about what this concept is?" Tang Mingrui asked slightly excitedly.

"The concept of losing money. Nowadays, steamed buns in third- and fourth-tier cities basically cost one, five, and two yuan for fried dough sticks. The ones that cost one yuan each basically have few pieces of meat in them. They even use lymph and other pig waste as meat fillings. What’s more, Not to mention Shengjing City, which is extremely expensive." Lu Xuan rubbed his nose and responded lightly, then asked: "Then why didn't the price increase?"

"Alas" Tang Mingrui sighed, and then said: "Countless people once asked Grandma Wang why she didn't increase the price. She said that many children came here to buy breakfast. She watched them grow up like her own grandchildren, and she couldn't bear to part with them. If you let them spend more money, some poor children may not be able to afford it because of the increase in prices, and Grandma Wang will not be able to see them. She does not want the children to suffer, and hopes that they can enjoy the care like family and grandma every day, even if they are not able to afford it. She also hopes to see these smiling faces like her own grandchildren every day to make money and repay."

"Then why can it still be maintained until now without going bankrupt?"

Lu Xuan rubbed his nose and asked doubtfully.

He would not believe that any student with a conscience found out that he took the initiative to add money to Grandma Wang, because human nature is greedy, and others can take advantage or not. How could those students think about other people's hardships behind their backs? They only think about that restaurant that is cheap and delicious. Over the long term, they even develop a fixed mindset of paying 50 cents, so that they can still have half of their money left to buy spicy strips.

If one day Grandma Wang suddenly raises the price, those students who are accustomed to it will definitely curse and say that the old woman has gone crazy and raised the price, and will never buy it here again. Other places also sell it at this price. Why buy it in such a shabby place?

In addition to greed, one of the more terrible habits of people is taking it for granted. Others have always been kind to you, always taken care of you, and always loaned you money, but suddenly one day they can no longer do it. In turn, good people are reviled and criticized by those who have been favored.

There are countless such cases

It is not ruled out that some students have a conscience early on and feel sorry for their grandma and do not want to take advantage. But after all, they are only a few hundred miles away, and the small amount of money they make is simply not enough to pay for it.

"The old woman's children opened a cement brick factory in the town. They gave her a lot of pocket money plus a state pension every month, which she invested in this small breakfast shop. Her children had persuaded her countless times, and even I wanted to close the breakfast shop and let her stay in peace, but I couldn't persuade her to do anything, even risking my life. In the end, my children could only respect her decision and thought it would be better to let their parents have some work instead of being bored." Tang Mingrui replied.

"Grandma Wang is so respectable." Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but stand in awe. He had no words to describe this old man who was almost at the end of his life except greatness.

"Six years ago when the Art College opened, there was no traffic and there weren't many restaurants nearby. Most of them were in the school cafeteria. Small restaurants like these outside were very popular. Many people knew that Grandma Wang's steamed buns were cheap and delicious, but Very few students knew that Grandma Wang was a reseller. One of them, a gangster named Zhao Erhu, bought all the things from Grandma Wang for 50 cents every day and pretended to bring them to his classmates. Then he sold them at the school gate for 1.5 cents. , when I found out that he was taking advantage of the old man, I beat her up hard. After the beating, I learned from Grandma Wang that she had been selling at a loss. I immediately regarded her as my own grandmother, and then used my family connections to contact the media. Exposing this matter has attracted attention from all walks of life.

Now the unit price is still 50 cents each, but almost everyone who comes here to buy it pays according to the market price. People who have been favored by the old lady in the past even take the initiative to pay more. Grandma Wang doesn't have to work hard to make breakfast every morning. Her children can just make it in the morning and let her sit here and sell it. "Tang Mingrui said.

From then on, Lu Xuan finally knew all about Wang's deeds, and also understood why Tang Mingrui gave her a massage as soon as she entered the house. He would do the same thing if he were the person. Such a good person deserves to be treated well and live a long life.

Knowing the story, when he ate these seemingly ordinary foods again, he felt that they were much more delicious, as if they were rare delicacies created by humans.

If you eat such a delicious meal, you will miss a meal. Maybe if you don't come for a few days, you will never be able to taste this taste again in your life.

"Grandma Wang, this is breakfast money. Please take good care of yourself. I will come see you later."

After breakfast, Tang Mingrui and Grandma Wang chatted for a while, then took out five sheets of Mao Zedong and put them in the old old shabby cabinet, and said with sincerity.

With his ability, he could just give the old lady tens of thousands of dollars in cash, but that would harm the old man, and it might lead to a tragedy if someone sees him. A few hundred dollars is much safer.

Because for a few hundred dollars, I provoked an old man who was admired by the whole town and caused public outrage. Isn't it worth tens of thousands of dollars, but many people are willing to take this risk?

"Xiao Yu, please walk slowly. Come back to see grandma often when you have time. Remember to bring your wife and children over next time for grandma to see and hear." When she was leaving, Grandma Wang didn't even glance at the breakfast money she threw into the cash drawer. He held Tang Mingrui's hand and gave serious instructions in sign language.

Seeing that Grandma Wang couldn't remember the person in the blink of an eye, Tang Mingrui's eyes turned red, and he nodded desperately and said, "I understand, Grandma, I will definitely bring the fat boy from home to you next time."

Seeing this scene, even Lu Xuan, an iron-blooded man with a heart as good as steel, felt sour in his heart and couldn't help crying.

Grandma Wang's family background and situation are enough for her to enjoy a happy life early, but she still cares about her children like other people's biological parents. She is afraid that students like her grandchildren will not be able to afford breakfast, and she is afraid that it will be too expensive and she will never see them again. smiling face.

She is now in her seventies, and she is still sitting here selling cheap breakfasts just to see the happy smiling faces of her children and grandchildren and to know how they are doing. It really breaks her heart like a mother or grandmother.

I remember an advertisement aired by China Television Network: "When you grow up, when you finish college, when you get married, your mother will enjoy the blessings, and when you finally transform into a grandma, I will let you enjoy the blessings when I grow up."

Parents are always worried about their children. They always think that one day they will enjoy their son's happiness, but they never know that the child is destined to have a life of hard work from the moment he is born.

The social situation in China is that parents raise their children, urge their children to get married, and then help their children to raise grandchildren. There is no way that the high domestic prices and low income cannot be proportional. Many people know that their parents are tired but have to do that to make a living. They devote themselves to work and want to I want to make money to support my family, thinking that if I earn more, my mother will enjoy the happiness.

The vast majority of people in China are definitely not able to let their parents enjoy their old age in peace as reported in the news. They go to the park to exercise and square dance every day. That is only possible for petty bourgeoisie families, even families with two elderly people, pensioners and children without pressure. . But we can’t blame these people. We can only say that the domestic economic pressure is too severe. We have to pay off mortgages, rents, car loans, and wedding loans. We also have to raise children, two parents, and four elderly people.

In an era when workers' salaries are generally 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, and the total monthly income of a married couple is 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, how many people can let their parents enjoy a comfortable life, or even if their parents do not have to work to support the family, they have to thank God.

In the age of high pressure, we don’t expect to be as kind to our parents as rich people. We often give them all kinds of supplements. We just ask all the children in the world to care more about their parents and call them to greet them when they are free. On the bus or while walking. On the way to work, you can take the time to do it, right?

Something that happened easily made my parents far away feel warm and less worried.

"help"

"help"

"Someone kidnapped, Gong Su raped and killed someone."

Just as Lu Xuan and his party reluctantly said goodbye to Grandma Wang and walked out the door, they heard a sharp request for advice from a girl nearby.

Out of instinct, several people looked over at him.

I saw a ten-year-old girl with delicate features and pretty eyes being escorted away by two guys with tattoos on their arms, one on the left and the other on the right. At the same time, there were two other men walking next to her empty-handed.

There were four men in total, all of them either had tattoos on their bodies or had earrings in their ears. At the same time, one guy had a gold necklace hanging around his neck, looking like a modern gangster.

Not far away there was a Jinbei van and a yellow Ferrari Enzo. They were obviously not ordinary gangsters or thugs under orders.

"What the hell"

Seeing this scene, Tang Mingrui immediately became furious and rushed over like a lightning bolt, shouting angrily: "Naughty Zhao Erhu took advantage of the king six years ago, and today he robbed a girl in the street. I beat her today." Your surname is no longer Tang, and I am no longer known as Tang Bohu, the most famous dandy in Shengjing City."

Perhaps Tang Mingrui's suppressed complex emotions finally broke out after he had just said a sad farewell to Grandma Wang and saw that he had bullied the old man and did bad things.

Lu Xuan and others saw him rushing out and didn't care at all. For those few gangsters, Tang Mingrui alone was enough.

"Bang" Tang Mingrui rushed over, and without even the little gangster reacting, he punched the guy with the gold bar. Obviously he was Zhao Erhu.

Immediately afterwards, he quickly kicked away three gangsters.

"Ah." Zhao Erhu screamed and immediately reacted, and recognized Tang Mingrui and shouted: "It's you, do you just think that you are a rich man? I am doing things for others now. The master is a big shot that you can't afford to offend. You and him Mom, if you dare to touch me again, try it."

"I don't care who your master is, he will still be beaten if he dares to appear in front of me, Tang Bohu." Tang Mingrui yelled angrily, and then rushed over and kicked Zhao Erhu hard twice, crushing his bones with a "click", causing He screamed "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh".

"Click"

At this time, the door of the yellow Ferrari on the side of the road opened, and a guy with a cigar in his mouth got out. He looked at Tang Mingrui and asked coldly: "Tang Bohu, the most famous dandy in Shengjing City, is amazing, isn't he? His master shows up too." Beat it together, right?”
