Taxi at night

Chapter 118, Unexpected Guest

During the May [-]st period, there were two things that made Lu Ren happy. One was that Tang Xue was discharged from the hospital, and was directly taken back to County G by his godmother to recuperate, which made Lu Ren's ears clean; the other was Yao Qin and Yang Qinghua The teacher's wedding banquet was held in the restaurant as scheduled.

Lu Ren took Tan Rui to the wedding banquet, and he could clearly feel Yao Qin's plain expression and Teacher Yang Qinghua's uncontrollable heartbeat.No wonder, for Yao Qin, this is a remarriage, a continuation of married life; for Yang Qinghua, it is the end of the single life and the beginning of the adventure of married life.

Not many people attended the wedding banquet, about 30 people.Yao Qin has no friends here, except a few acquaintances in the business field, that is, old neighbors such as Lu Ren and Uncle Li.On Yang Qinghua's side, there were a little more people who came to bless them. They were all teachers with good relationships in the school, and there were only two or three tables.

This is a belated wedding banquet. The real wedding has already been held on May [-]st, at Teacher Yang Qinghua's hometown.

Due to the different marriage customs in different places, some are complicated and some are simple. According to Yang Qinghua, during the few days of the wedding, he was exhausted and his legs were running thin.Although he complained, anyone could tell that Yang Qinghua was quite satisfied with his married life.

During the banquet, I ran into Uncle Li who I hadn't seen for many months, and I was very affectionate.However, when it came to Brother Qi's family, Lu Ren noticed that Uncle Li had a sad face and seemed a little unhappy.

Lu Ren asked curiously, "Uncle Li, why are you a little unhappy?"

"Don't mention it. I regret renting a house to a family surnamed Qi. Not only did I not earn the rent, but I also paid back the rent in the past two months. Xiao Lu... Tell me, what is this all about!"

Lu Ren smiled cheerfully. Needless to say, Uncle Li lost money at the poker table, which made him unhappy.But he still persuaded: "Will you not gamble?"

"I can't quit! When I heard the sound of mahjong, my heart felt unbearably itchy. Alas... It seems that I really quit."

Lu Ren followed suit, wondering how long your uncle's guarantee can last?

When Lu Ren came out of the restaurant after eating, he saw Yang Qinghua standing at the door to send a few beggars for ten cents each, about three or five people.

"You are really a beggar. Now that the prices are so expensive and the market is rising, a dime is not enough." Several beggars talked about the economic form, to the effect that they felt that the money was not enough.

"Aren't you all beggars? Where is there any bargaining? You think this is a business!" Yang Qinghua put on a teacher's air, trying to persuade these people who want money but not food.

"We don't play too much, fifty cents each." One of the beggars, while talking, took out a small firecracker from an old cloth bag, lit it with a cigarette, heard crackling, and then disappeared.

"As soon as the firecrackers go off, the happy money will be brought. Hehe... Boss, you see, we didn't come empty-handed, so we have to pay one yuan per person, right?" The guy who set off the firecrackers said with a smile, instead of fifty cents, he asked for one yuan.

Yang Qinghua was funny and annoyed, but he couldn't afford to lose his temper.I had no choice but to say: "Okay, one piece is one piece, please leave after taking the money... okay?"

Then I gave one yuan to each person, and I didn't want to say anything more to these people, lest the price would increase again.

"Huh...why don't you leave? Didn't the money have already been paid?" Yang Qinghua saw a few beggars who still refused to leave, so he opened his mouth to chase them away.

"Bring out two packs of cigarettes, and we'll leave." Lu Ren saw that these people were in the same group, and after receiving the happy money, he asked for cigarettes again.

"I don't have two packs, let me give you one! You know that my pack of five yuan is enough for you to buy four or five packs of cigarettes." Yang Qinghua frowned, fumbled in his pocket, and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over.

"Haha, thank you boss, congratulations on having a son early, and prosperity in wealth and wealth. Let's go... let's go..."

A beggar who looked like a leader reached out to take the cigarette, sang a casually, then waved his hand, leading the others away.

"These guys have a good nose until they ask you for money." Lu Ren laughed after watching a good show.

"I'm here today for a treat, and I didn't post happy words. I don't know where these people got the news, but they insisted that there was a happy event here... Lu Ren, is it any wonder?" Yang Qinghua turned to Lu Ren and said.

"It's not surprising. This is what people do. They pay attention to having a sharp eye and a sharp mind. They can make a good guess as soon as they walk in front of the door." After entering the new century, the industry of begging has gradually disappeared, or Get out of the city.

Lu Ren hadn't seen this kind of situation for a long time, and it was quite novel when he found it at first.

"In the town of my hometown, I can often see them. They are lazy people who don't want to work in the field or work in factories. They run around the town all day, messing around. Food and clothing." Yang Qinghua expressed his feelings.

"I found that these beggars also go to the market as they go, which has a lot to do with the customs of a place. For example, I once went to a town when I was running a sports car. In that place, such beggars gathered in groups, which was quite popular, no less than 200 people. .”

"Oh, which place are you talking about? There is such a strange thing." Yang Qinghua regained his energy immediately and asked Lu Ren.

"If I talk about it, you will know right away that it is XX Township. The life of a beggar there is quite good. 365 days a year, as long as you are willing to face it, there are people who take care of food almost every day, and even drink."

"There will be such a good thing? You are not joking." Yang Qinghua felt that Lu Ren seemed to be joking, but it didn't look like it after careful observation.

"I didn't believe it at first, but facts speak louder than words. I stayed in that place for a few days and witnessed this phenomenon with my own eyes, and I was secretly amazed."

"There's always a reason, right?"

"The reason is actually very simple. With the improvement of living standards, people there especially like to hold banquets of various names. For example, if you give birth to a child, you will have a full moon wine, and you will treat guests to celebrate when you are one year old. Passing by, going to university, joining the army, buying a house, building a house, weddings and funerals, birthdays...they are too many to count, Mr. Yang...if you only earn 12 yuan a month, it may not be enough for gifts."

"It's too exaggerated! However, as you said, the days of begging are like living gods. There will be gains without hard work. I'm afraid people will gather more and more... No wonder, no wonder." Yang Qinghua seemed to be the first time It's really surprising to hear people say that.

"Which day are you free tomorrow? I'll take you there to open your eyes. I really don't know what you see. I was shocked when I saw it." Due to work, Lu Ren would pass by there from time to time. The beggars there are different from other places. All of them are full of energy and red, almost forming an industry.They are in touch with each other, a family is happy, and a hundred couples gather together, which is jaw-dropping.

"When you say that, I really want to find a chance to see it." Yang Qinghua expressed yearning.

Gossip less, Lu Ren and his wife Tan Rui returned home, let's rest for the time being.
