"You were a soldier more than forty years ago? And there are also military merit medals? I asked, wide-eyed.

"Well, I enlisted in the army at the age of 18! The Military Merit Medal was awarded in the Vietnam War! The uncle replied calmly.

"You have military merits, so how can you still ......," I asked urgently.

Let the old man with military merits make a living from garbage? Isn't that a slap in the face to the world's second-largest economy?

"You mean my scrap picking job?" Uncle has already guessed what I am going to ask.

"Uh-huh!" I quickly nodded.

"I have a pension salary, but I give it to my children......"

When the uncle said this, there was still a trace of pride on his face.

But I was shocked and angry, and I secretly said in my heart, "What kind of child is this?" Not to mention supporting parents, but also taking the pension salary of the elderly? ”

I didn't say this, because I saw the old man's face full of happiness and pride.

At night, I slept in the room provided by my uncle, and slept very sweetly.

The next day, I got up early to help my uncle load a full cart of all the scrap and then pulled him to the scrap yard.

A whole cart of scrap was bought for more than forty yuan, and the uncle took out a plastic bag from his body and put the money in it. I noticed that it was densely packed with change.

The uncle said to me while putting the money inside: "Even if it is these forty-three yuan five, there are a total of seven hundred and eight yuan in it, and now there are eight days until the end of the month, and I can make up enough for eight hundred, which is just enough for my child's living expenses for a month!" ”

I just listened quietly, but I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, I really wanted to ask for an understanding, but I couldn't open my mouth! After all, I am not familiar with the uncle, and I am favored by the uncle, I think the uncle must have his reason for doing this!

I only have one hand that can move, and I can't do the rest, but it's still okay to follow the uncle to pick up waste!

Uncle rode a small three-wheeler and took me to the university in Dongshi to pick up waste.

Looking at the boys and girls coming and going in the university, I can't help but think of my college days, when I already had a crush on Yang Mi!

The thing I look forward to the most every week is to go to Yang Mi, where a few of our high school classmates get together and talk about the world and are carefree.

The past is like smoke, and I can't go back.

I followed my uncle to collect waste, used tongs to rummage through garbage cans, and went to the stadium to pick up drink bottles after people drank water!

I don't feel tired at all, but I feel that it hurts my self-esteem.

In the face of people who are a year or two younger than me, they are brightly dressed and beautiful, but I am picking up garbage here!

The huge contrast makes me very psychologically hurt! Especially in front of those beautiful girls, I can't seem to raise my head.

But what's the solution? I have to live, and picking up trash is better than sleeping on the streets hungry, right?

I picked up ten dollars on the playground that day. As if I had seen a savior, I took ten yuan to the school supermarket and bought a mask.

Wearing a mask made me feel better, I felt like I was covering my face and I wasn't so embarrassed to pick up trash!

The people who pick up garbage in the university are not only my uncle, there are at least four or five, but they are all old men and old women, after a few days, I immediately summed up some experience, I am faster than these old men, if on the field, I can use the speed advantage, grab ahead of them to pick up mineral water drink bottles.

I found a big bag to drag, and when I saw the bottle, I ran over to pick it up first, and then came back to drag the bag!

I remember the luckiest day when I picked up eighty-nine drink bottles!

I don't pick up garbage all the time, as long as my left hand is ready, I can go to the construction site, move bricks, and earn at least 15 a day.

On this day, there were nearly 200 students taking physical education classes here, the sun was scorching and the climate was dry! I've been waiting here early, and I've seen a huge wave of bottles coming at me!

In the past, in Cangyang, I earned 130,000 yuan a night in the tea room, but I didn't feel very happy, and now I feel that I am very lucky to be able to pick up 13 bottles!

Man, depraved!

I'm a stranger with no ID card, and I'm a completely black household. You can't find a formal job, you can't work part-time, you can't do business, and you have to pick up garbage to make a living.

East University of Political Science and Law, looking at the whole country, is also famous, the people who can come here to study are Yang Mi, Lao He They are the top students in this industry, I didn't expect that I was a half-scumbag also came here! It's just picking up garbage here.

In physical education class, all kinds of beautiful legs!

Shorts, short skirts are dazzling.

Beautiful women from all over the country gathered!

In Cangyang, beauties like Su Yan and Gu Lina are rare, but they are common here.

Still, college life is good!

Suddenly, the target appears and two bottles of mineral water appear next to the trash can.

At the same time, at least three waves of competitors approached: two old women and an old man!

I started fast, using my agility and speed, to get ahead of the game!

Once I started, I quickly caught up and was in control!

Soon, two people realized that they were already at a disadvantage and it was completely impossible to compete with me, so they chose to give up on their own initiative, although with unwillingness and anger on their faces, but to no avail after all.

The other two old ladies were also quickly out, and one of them yelled at me: "Stinky shameless!" "I breathed a bad breath in my heart.

I picked up two bottles of mineral water, pocketed them, and looked around, feeling an invincible sense of desolation.

I'm not targeting anyone, picking up garbage in the playground, everyone here is garbage!

At some point, if there is background music, it should be played: "How lonely it is to be invincible!" ”

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a bottle of Nongfu Spring flew on the ground, half of the bottle of water overflowed, and then rolled towards me along the ground.

This is going to be sent!

I lowered my head and was about to make a move, when I saw a fair-skinned and slender beautiful leg, and along the beautiful leg was a short skirt.

The short skirt is then tightened and the little clothes are tightened, and then the ...... Well, it's in stock.

White skin, goddess face!

What a young and invincible beautiful girl.

Punctuality, superb.

"Would you like to be my boyfriend?"

The beautiful woman looked at me and asked.

I was stunned for a moment, did I hear it wrong? I asked, "What?" ”

"Would you like to be my boyfriend?"

She asked me again, and before I could answer, the beautiful woman turned to a tall, handsome young man behind her, and said aloud.

"Wu Yifan, believe it or not, I'll immediately find an old, ugly and disabled person, or a garbage picker, to be my boyfriend!"

Forehead...... Old, ugly and disabled, and picking up garbage...... Does she say I'm me?

With a mask, it's okay if you say I'm ugly, I hang my left hand, you say I'm disabled, forget it, but, where am I old? Sister, do you see that my brother has black and shiny hair?

"Whatever!" The handsome guy named Wu Yifan shrugged his shoulders and lit a cigarette.

A large crowd gathered around the playground, and the crowd was heckling.

A beautiful woman and a handsome guy should be a match made in heaven, and it should be a little couple quarreling!

"Hey, would you like to be my boyfriend?"

The beautiful woman asked me again.

I sneered for a while, and secretly said in my heart: "Lao Tzu used to drive a luxury car, live in a luxury house, and soak in white rich beauties, but now he has nothing, and he has ended up in this kind of field, do you still want to use it to find fun?" ”

"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

The beautiful woman shouted at me. I still choose to remain silent.

"Okay, Ouyang Na, don't make trouble!"

Wu Yifan smiled, he came over and wanted to drag the beauty away.

However, the beauty pushed him away!

"Aren't you Wu Yifan handsome and cool? Is it NCCU Colonel Grass? I, Ouyang Na, am going to announce in front of the whole school today that I will choose an old, ugly and deaf person who has a disability and picks up garbage as my boyfriend, and I will not choose you! ”

The beautiful woman named Ouyang Na grabbed my hand and dragged me outside!

As soon as he took two steps, Wu Yifan rushed up, he grabbed Ouyang Na's hand and asked loudly, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure!" Ouyang Na replied very simply.

"Are you Ouyang Na sure you choose an old, ugly, deaf, disabled person who picks up garbage as her boyfriend and not choose me?"

"I'm sure, definitely, definitely! I'll choose an old and ugly person who is deaf, disabled and picks up garbage as a boyfriend, and it's not you Wu Yifan! ”

"Enough of you, I've never seen such an insult!"

I can't help it!
