The journey of the heavens starts from the underground transportation station

When I arrived at Nanhua Street, I happened to bump into Li Kuiyong who was "eating Buddha" at the entrance.

The so-called eating Buddha, as the name suggests, is to take the filial piety of Buddha. Buddha, that is, a thief, is often caught and beaten by others when he is caught. At this time, you need to take refuge in a certain famous recalcitrant.

, although the stubborn masters also looked down upon these Buddhas, they still helped them out for the sake of money.

Of course, die-hards like Zhong Yuemin and others who call themselves veterans disdain to eat Buddha, especially those whose parents are in trouble. Although they are still poor in their pockets, they cannot lose their status, like those who are from civilian backgrounds.

Like a stubborn person, he lowers his face and asks for dirty money.

Although veterans are also recalcitrant in behavior, they do not admit that veterans and recalcitrants are two opposing groups.

There are also rules when eating Buddha. You have to stand on the side of the street in the evening. The Buddhas passing by can see them. Those who are rich or have something to ask for will automatically come over and make love or affection.

They humbly and secretly stuffed a handful into the stubborn master's pocket. They didn't care whether it was more or less. They made up their own minds.

Li Kuiyong is also a well-known stubborn man in the Nanhua Street area, and there are quite a few Buddhas who take his name. Although Li Kuiyong considers himself to be upright and loyal, he does not look down on those Buddhists at all, but because of his poor family background, his father has been

After passing away, there were a lot of younger brothers and sisters in the family, and he was the eldest son and the mainstay, so he had to endure his nausea and take some of Buddha's dirty money.

Zhong Yuemin was delighted when he saw Li Kuiyong. This guy had his hands in his pockets, leaning against a telephone pole, with his head half raised, and his eyes fiercely staring at the passers-by. It was obvious that he was eating Buddha because he had no money!

However, this morning, Lord Buddha has not even gone to work yet, so where can you get the money to honor him!?

"Hey, Kui Yong, why are you standing here on the street so early in the morning?" Although Zhong Yuemin knew very well that Li Kuiyong was out of money, he still couldn't help but made a bit of a joke.

"Fuck you, uncle! Yuemin, you are such a loser." "Standing on the street" is not a good word. It was used to describe the slave girls of the old society. Li Kuiyong was not angry at all. He smiled and cursed and said hello: "Li Yu,

Coming."

"What's going on? You came out to eat Buddha so early in the morning. Kui Yong, are you short of money?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

Li Yu didn't understand the secret here, but Zhong Yuemin could understand it.

"It doesn't matter. It's boring at home, so I just came out to cool off."

"Fuck you uncle!" Zhong Yuemin didn't believe it at all: "This north wind is blowing, you will freeze to death, tell the truth to my brother!"

Li Kuiyong scratched his head across his hat and said irritably: "It snowed recently. It's a bad day. Isn't my mother getting sick again?"

Li Kuiyong's mother suffers from femoral head necrosis and has difficulty moving all year round. The money for her medicine and treatment is a huge expense for Li Kuiyong.

Zhong Yuemin was stunned for a moment and started to take out his pocket. However, after feeling all over his body and counting the bills together, he found that it was less than two yuan.

How could Zhong Yuemin have any money? He couldn't help but imitate the stubborn masters and eat Buddha. These two dollars were saved from the fifteen dollars of living expenses that the state gave him every month.

"How much money do you have with you? Give it all to me!" Holding a handful of scattered bills, Zhong Yuemin said to Li Yu, but before Li Yu could answer, Zhong Yuemin thought again and realized that asking was in vain.

Li Yu, like himself, lives on fifteen yuan a month as living expenses, and is equally poor.

"Damn it, I won't go tomorrow!" Zhong Yuemin muttered through gritted teeth. He did have some money at home. It was thirty or forty yuan for his group to buy tickets for tomorrow. It was just a frugality for the brothers.

It took me half a year to save up.

Zhong Yuemin planned to go back to discuss and give the money to Li Kuiyong for emergency relief. Although it would be a shame not to go to the Tianqiao Theater, but there were priorities, and helping friends was the most important thing.

"Yuemin, don't..." Li Kuiyong pulled him back. He wasn't even willing to take the little bastard's money, so how could he be willing to take the money of a big guy like Zhong Yuemin.

"Kui Yong, you wait at home, I'll be back in a moment." After saying this, Zhong Yuemin took Li Yu and started to leave.

"You wait a moment."

Li Yu shook off Zhong Yuemin with all his strength, reached into his pocket, took out a dozen large unity cards from his pocket, held them in his hand and took them out: "Yuemin, don't go, I still have some money here."

Li Yu knew Zhong Yuemin's plan, but the money did not belong to Zhong Yuemin alone. Everyone had a share. If Zhong Yuemin wanted to take out the money, he should give it to Li Kuiyong. He was afraid that Yuan Jun would be the first to refuse and might say something weird.

No, it doesn't hurt our feelings.

"How much can you have...fuck you!"

Zhong Yuemin said half a sentence indifferently, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he pointed at the money in Li Yu's hand in shock, and was speechless.

The handful of Unity notes in Li Yu's hand were 10-yuan bills issued in 1965. It looked like there were at least a dozen of them. In this era, it was almost half a year's salary for an ordinary worker.

Pork is about 50 cents a pound, rice is about 151 pounds, steamed buns are about 151 pounds, and eggs are about 5 cents each. It can be seen that Zhong Yuemin and his family's living expenses of 15 yuan a month are really a lot, and it is enough for them to live a better life.

Children from working-class families are strong, but veterans are used to seeing delicious food and fun. How about letting them live an ordinary life? Once the money is in hand, it will be spent in ten days!

Of course, there are also expensive ones, such as bicycles, sewing machines, radios, etc.

In the dumbfounded eyes of Zhong Yuemin and Li Kuiyong, Li Yu turned his back to the street, counted the big unity in his hand, there were sixteen in total, and stuffed it into Li Kuiyong's hand.

"Kui Yong, take it, it's important to treat your illness."

Li Yu is indeed very rich. He carries hundreds of thousands in his pocket, and his purchasing power is at least equivalent to tens of millions in later generations. But if Zhong Yuemin, Yuan Jun and the others want to use this money, Li Yu will never give it to them.

Although they are a team, they want to share the money? Stop talking nonsense! No amount of money is enough to cause them trouble! Li Yu remembers that in the original plot, Yuan Jun bought a vase from the Chongzhen era from his home and exchanged it for 1,000 yuan

.

The result? Every day, I bought an ice cream cone and put it in a bucket, and all the money was gone within a month.

Carpe diem, this is the life attitude of veterans. When they are rich, Lao Mo Xinqiao eats chaffy vegetables when they have no money.

Li Yu has no objection to this, as long as it doesn't harm his own money.

However, Li Yu is very happy to help Li Kuiyong with some money. In the whole bloody romance, what Li Yu admires most is not Zhong Yuemin, but small people like Li Kuiyong.
