Senior Superstar

Li Shixin has heard a saying before that people are particularly vulnerable when they are hungry.

Seeing Li Erchun crying for more than ten minutes, he sighed faintly: "Young man, can crying solve the problem? Can you control your hunger?"

Faced with Li Shixin's consolation, Li Erchun's neck twitched: "I feel comfortable crying! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Fifteen minutes later.

Accompanied by a loud grunt, Li Erchun finally stopped sobbing, looked at Li Shixin who was smiling and staring at him, and blushed: "No."

Li Shixin spread his hands: "Isn't this the end? Young man, let me ask you, do you only have four yuan and fifty cents left?"

"En." Li Erchun nodded.

Li Shixin thought for a while, and said silently: "It's enough."

"What did you say, old man?" Li Erchun didn't hear clearly.

"Oh." Li Shixin patted the dust off his body, stood up from the ground, and said with a smile, "I mean, young man, do you want to fill your stomach?"

"think."

The young man nodded, "But this little money is not even enough for a bowl of noodles."

"Haha." Li Shixin laughed and said, "I'll teach you how to have a full meal! The steamed buns in the noodle shop over there cost 60 cents each, you go buy six, and negotiate a price with the proprietress, let her charge you 3.5 yuan. Then go to the canteen over there to buy a bag of pickled mustard for one yuan, and then go to the bank over there to get two free cups of boiled water."

(O_O)?

The young man Li Erchun thought about it, and felt that something was wrong: "Why do I have to buy six steamed buns, I can't eat that much? Also, why do I need to drink two cups of boiling water?"

Li Shixin turned his hands away and raised his chin slightly.

"Because of your uncle, I haven't eaten yet."

After eating three steamed buns stuffed with mustard shreds, and drinking a glass of boiled water slowly in the sun, Li Shixin felt super satisfied.

Looking at Li Erchun, who had a gloomy face and was stunned with half a steamed bun in his hand, he smiled and said, "How about you, young man, are you full? Don't you want to cry?"

"Wow."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the young man opened his mouth with steamed buns in his mouth, and began to cry loudly.

"Why am I so miserable? Others writing novels can make millions a year every day, and the big sword sleeps tenderly, and I write a novel? Why can I achieve nothing when everyone else can stand out?! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo and?

On the flyover, the young man was snotting and crying. Seeing that Li Shixin didn't intend to leave, he sniffled and told what happened to him.

Roughly, it’s the story of a network writer;

After graduating from university, I felt proud and arrogant, and felt that an ordinary job was not the life I wanted, so I resigned from my job and wrote novels on the Internet despite the strong opposition of my family. After writing it for two or three years and publishing nearly ten million words, one of them didn't write or speak, and he broke up with his family completely.

In the end, I could only move to Rongdian and rent a house. Recently, because I lost my manuscript fee and lost my income, the landlord deducted the computer I used to eat to pay the rent, and I cleared it from the rental house.

"Others can get ahead, why should I have to?" At the end of the speech, Li Erchun raised half of the steamed bun in Yang's hand, and said bitterly: "I have to squat on the overpass and eat this dry steamed bun? Sir, tell me , does this make sense?"

Faced with this question, Li Shixin raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Let me ask you young man, if you eat beef noodles worth 15 yuan, you will still be full, and if you eat steamed buns worth 60 cents, you will also be full. Since you are all full, what's the difference between beef noodles and steamed buns?"

Facing Li Shixin's statement, Li Erchun turned his mouth, "Old man, don't tell me the truth, it's all bullshit! Let me ask you, a bowl of beef noodles and a steamed bun are put in front of you, which one do you eat?"

"Of course it's beef noodles!" Li Shixin was very honest.

Li Erchun spread his hands, "Then it's over! Since there are things in this world that are better than basic needs, why not pursue them?"

Li Shixin pursed his lips and smiled, thinking that this little fat man has a pretty sharp mouth.

Having cheated his lunch, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with such a person, so he stood up with the net bag in which the bottle was held.

Unexpectedly, the little fat man got excited, grabbed him, pointed to the net pocket and said, "Old man, what are you going to do?"

Li Shixin spread his hands: "Go pick up plastic bottles."

"Heh!" Li Erchun sneered, and said, "You have about twenty bottles in your pocket now, enough for you to eat a steamed bun at night. Then why do you still want to pick it up?"

Li Shixin blinked his eyes, "Of course it's because I want to eat beef noodles at night!"

"." Faced with Li Shixin's straightforward double-standard dog, Li Erchun was speechless for a while.

Seeing the young man holding back his anger and having nowhere to vent his anger, Li Shixin said calmly, "Young man, do you know the difference between me and you?"

Li Erchun frowned and shook his head.

Li Shixin smiled, "The difference between me and you is that I only think that if I work hard to pick up enough bottles in the afternoon, I will be able to eat beef noodles in the evening, so I will be very fulfilled and happy this afternoon. If it can be realized in the evening If the target can eat noodles, I will have greater happiness. And you"

He pointed to the steamed bun in Li Erchun's hand, and shook his head: "You are nibbling the steamed bun reluctantly, while thinking why you can't eat delicacies from mountains and seas, when you can eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and why you can't eat delicacies from mountains and seas."

Seeing Li Erchun froze, Li Shixin smiled slightly and withdrew his hand: "So you are distressed."

After speaking, Li Shixin lifted the net bag in his hand and turned around.

After walking a few steps and looking back, the young man was still staring at him, so he stopped.

"Young man, do you have something to do this afternoon?"

Li Erchun shook his head.

"My old man is also a person who wants to save face. I gave you a lunch for nothing at noon. If you don't reply and treat you to a meal, it won't sound good in the world. Anyway, you are fine. Why don't you go to the mall with my old man? It's done." How about treating you to beef noodles tonight?"

All afternoon, Li Erchun carefully observed the old man in front of him.

In the comprehensive shopping mall next to the Xicheng Bus Terminal, the old man was touring the various floors. Whenever I see an empty bottle in the trash can, I carefully pick it up, unscrew the cap, squash the bottle and put it in the net bag. Passing by the door of each store, I also asked the owner with a smile if there were any bottles or newspapers to throw away.

His movements were not fast, and his whole body seemed to be a 0.75x speed video, shuttling between the four floors of the mall. But the net bag in his hand swelled up unconsciously.

When the shopping mall got off work, Li Erchun had to help carry the shriveled net bag. There are more than one hundred dense mineral water bottles inside!

In addition to these empty bottles, the two also collected two large packages of advertising coloring pages.

"Look, waste paper is 22 catties, 80 cents a catty, you get 17 yuan. Bottles are 14 catties, a catty is 1.5 yuan, you count 21. A total of 38 yuan, here, take it myself."

It was getting late, and in a waste acquisition department near the passenger station, Li Shixin sold the proceeds of this afternoon. Li Shixin turned his hand to Grandpa Mao, who had everything in his hands, and raised his eyebrows at Li Erchun.

"What am I talking about? Enough beef noodles?"

He didn't know that at this time Li Erchun's mind was no longer on beef noodles.

After dragging a big suitcase and following Li Shixin around the mall all afternoon as a coolie, Li Erchun was as tired as a dog.

"Old man, it's getting late. We don't have a place to live yet. With your money, why don't we see if there is a cheaper guest house, rent a bed, and let's squeeze together for a night!"

Hearing this statement, Li Shixin was overjoyed: "Young man, how dare I work hard all afternoon just to squeeze the bed of the small hotel with you? Then what's the point of me picking up bottles this afternoon?"

Li Shixin chuckled, and waved his hand: "I said I'll treat you to noodles, so I'll treat you to noodles. As for where to stay at night and have a bowl of noodles, I'll talk about it after I'm happy!"

Seeing the back of the old man walking away with his hands behind his back, Li Erchun stamped his feet.

"How did this old man survive till now!?"
