Chapter 22: The Impoverished Old Roots

One person, six cakes, 2 chicken legs, Cai Gen ate it in 15 minutes, cleaning the battlefield without leaving a trace.

After a while, my wife came and took myself to see the master, if I found that I had misremembered the day today, it was time to talk about it again, the endless chatter gave Cai Gen a headache, and I was annoyed by the nagging a few times, and I also broke out and resisted, and then my wife would use two words to describe Cai Gen every time, poor.

What is the state of poverty?

The rich are arrogant, and it is a kind of excesses that have great wealth as a backing and have strong self-confidence.

The poor are horizontal, there is really nothing to rely on, only Heng remains.

At this time, Heng is an attitude, a struggle, a spirit of not admitting defeat, and a spirit of not falling.

There are many poor people, and there are many horizontal people, but there are not many poor people in the current world.

Recall that in the long river of history, the overthrow of a dynasty, a revolution, and a rebellion against an oppression were all dominated by a group of poor people.

They have nothing, only the belief in their hearts, they are horizontal, in the face of all powerful enemies, they have the courage to fight, because there is nothing to lose, they are willing to cut their bodies, dare to pull the emperor off the horse, and they are righteous.

I remember drinking with a classmate, who was the director of teaching in middle school, and expressed his feelings after drinking, the current middle school students are not as bloody as we were at the beginning, there are few fights at all, and sometimes there are basically zero conflicts for a year.

Cai Gen also asked, why? Why have so many things changed?

I remember when I was a child, when I was in junior high school, it was the battlefield, and whatever you looked, there were countless wars.

A friend analyzed to Cai Gen that everyone was poor in the past, and the cost of fighting was very low, so if they fought, they would fight, and no one could blame anyone.

Now the gap between the rich and the poor is wide.

The poor do not dare to fight the rich, because to fight is to fight for money.

The rich are also reluctant to beat the poor, because it not only hurts energy, but also money.

This idea is instilled in the hearts of children by parents.

Poor families will educate their children, don't make trouble, our family can't afford to pay.

Rich families will educate their children, don't worry about those poor people, they all want to blackmail you for money, don't give you a chance.

Therefore, every time his wife describes Cai Gen as poor, Cai Gen does not feel ashamed, and will be a little relieved, at least he is still the backbone of some poor people, at least he is not only poor, but also horizontal.

After eating a lot, the blood began to rush to the stomach at an accelerated pace, and Cai Gen was sleepy, so he fell asleep on the dining table.

This time I didn't dream, and I slept so deeply that I didn't hear the bell when my wife opened the door.

"Lao Gen, what time do you still sleep, didn't you say that you would go to see the master in the morning?"

His wife's voice woke up Cai Gen, opened his eyes, just faced with the dazzling sunlight, quickly closed his eyes again, slowed down a little for two seconds, wiped his saliva with his hands, got up and sat up straight, maybe he just woke up, too hard, and the blister on the back of his hand was burned, and the severe pain made Cai Gen feel energetic.

Watching my wife come by herself, I walked around the store, looking at the computer for a while, and looking at the money box for a while.

stared at the 100 yuan red ticket in the money box, took it out, shook it at Cai Gen, and said in a mocking tone,

"Boss Cai, business was very good yesterday, and I saw the red ticket."

Cai Gen automatically chose to ignore his wife's mocking tone, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said a little irritably,

"Good what? It's just a job, or people gave me a tip of 13 yuan, this is not important, you come, I will tell you, our store was lively last night. ”

The wife's curiosity came up at once, but it was not for the excitement of the store, but for the 13 yuan tip, and came over to sit opposite Cai Gen, gossiping and asking,

"Can I still get a tip for food delivery? Are you transited? ”

When Cai Gen heard this, this idea was not right, so he chose to ignore it, took a puff of cigarette, and then put last night, how did Xiao Xiao Xiao, the white-clothed hanged spirit, get into the car, go back to the store, and stab himself, and then Lord Xie of the Difu came with the child to ask for his own life, and finally the primitive Nunu came out to make a final decision.

After saying it in one breath, Cai Gen was a little excited, or a little scared, took a puff of cigarette, stared at his wife, hoping that the other party would give him a scientific explanation, or it would be unscientific but very reasonable.

The wife was quiet and didn't interject, until Cai Gen finished speaking, and then said with an angry face,

"Lao Gen, is that female spirit really in good shape?"

It's not good, it was depicted in too much detail just now, it seems to be saying, this mouth, I really owe it, you just say that the female ghost is scary, why mention the figure of others? Cai Gen really wanted to smack himself in the mouth, I really owe it.

However, this shouldn't be the point, and the point is not here, grievances, annoyance, fear, worry, and complex emotions poured into Cai Gen's heart, and he began to be poor again.

"Look at Mao's figure, forget it, don't talk about it, what should you do, I'm sleepy, sleep."

After saying that, he lay down on the table again, trying to sleep.

"Hurry up, don't pretend to be dead, I have made an appointment with the master, ten o'clock, and now it's half past nine."

Cai Gen lay on the table, did not move, and said sullenly,

"If you don't go, what's the matter with love, you're not afraid of living, but you're still afraid of death?"

"If you don't pull it down, whoever is afraid will know."

After saying that, the wife seemed to walk towards the door, the glass door was opened, a crisp ringing, and then the sound of the door closing.

Is this really gone? Cai Gen hurriedly raised his head, yes, he was afraid, he knew very well in his heart, he wanted to pretend a little, but he still failed.

hurriedly looked up and wanted to call his wife, but he saw his wife standing at the door and didn't go out at all, looking at Cai Gen's treacherous smile.

"Hurry up and get dressed and lock the door and leave, it's hard to make an appointment."

Cai Gen lost his temper anymore, got up, put on his coat, took his mobile phone key, and the money under the pillow, and followed his wife out.

My wife drove, Cai Gen sat in the co-pilot, and the car didn't dare to joke under my wife, and it started smoothly.

Open the window, light a cigarette, enjoy the warm winter sun outside, as if suddenly thinking of something, and then look back at the back seat, it is empty, very good.

Cai Gen's abnormal behavior attracted the attention of his wife, and he also looked in the back seat, saw nothing, and continued to tease Cai Gen,

"Did that well-built female spirit sit in the back yesterday?"

Again, is this endless? Cai Gen smoked a cigarette and said angrily,

"Well, not now, yesterday in the back seat."

My wife seems to be a little addicted, and continues to knead Cai Gen,

"Can't see it, a little bit of a thought?"

Completely speechless, silently smoking, looking out of the car window, Cai Gen remembered the silence in the distance, I really wanted to be quiet.

A sharp sound of brakes broke Cai Gen's contemplation, why is there always an accident at the gate of this high school recently?

Get out of the car and watch, a BMW Z4 is parked in the middle of the road, and there is an obvious scratch on the bumper.

A man and a woman also got out of the car, the man was rich and noble, and the woman had an excellent temperament, not like ordinary people.

In front of the BMW, there was a battery car upside down, and a delivery rider fell to the ground wailing.

I can't get down without a few thousand dollars.

"Get in the car, don't look at the excitement, it's too late."

At the urging of his wife, Cai Gen got into the car.

One picks the head, drives onto the road, and his wife drives really slippery.
