" brother Jin, I toast to you."
The two raised their beers and clinked them together, then gulped them down.
In front of the two of them, the table was filled with delicious dishes, including cold dishes and snacks, as well as commoner's delicacies such as braised beef, cold tossed pig ears, and cold tossed pig head meat.
"Ah, brother Jin, today I finally believe it. You really know how to begging!"
Jin Yuan His mouth stuffed with food, he mumbled, "I told you to go begging with me earlier, but you didn't listen. Now you know that begging is better than going out to find a job, right?"
Sun Jun still had a clear mind, "You can't possibly expect to have so much good food every day, brother Jin."
Jin Yuan Spitting out chicken bones from his mouth, "You're right, but I'm not sticking to one store or place."
He earnestly imparted his begging experience to Sun Jun, "For us in the begging business, we can't beg in the same place more than twice. After two times, we must find a new place. This way, we can have an endless supply of free food."
"But brother Jin, don't you want to get married?"
Jin Yuan waved his hand, "No, no, I've been living alone for so many years, I'm used to it! Having another woman around will only affect my begging."
He also said to Sun Jun: "Brother, listen to my advice. Lust is like a knife hanging over your head. Give up lust early, then you can break through the true self, like me, and be free from the cycle of life and death, wandering in the mortal world."
Sun Jun thought to himself, "You are living for the moment, but he still has two elderly parents in his hometown. And at twenty-seven, being a virgin is quite embarrassing, isn't it?"
Thinking of this, Sun Jun shook his head, "Let's not talk about it. Talking about it just brings tears."
"Although I know that after eating this meal, there probably won't be another one, but being able to survive in this moment is enough for me."
The two of them ate like starving ghosts, wolfing down the pile of delicacies brought back, and finished it all in one go.
Jin Yuan It's been hundreds of years since I've had such a sumptuous feast.
In the past, when I was with my master, I couldn't eat this or that, and could only have some plain and tasteless meals, without any richness.
Now that there's no master supervising him, his life has actually improved.
"I wonder how my master is doing now, is he still alive? And where did my two stupid junior brothers go?"
He has always been a cheerful person by nature, and he doesn't worry too much about the unknown. The present life is what he values most.
That night, the two of them fell asleep at the dining table and on the sofa.
Sun Jun's alarm clock kept ringing over and over again, until it finally woke him up with a loud sound an hour later.
Last night, the two of them drank a bit too much, and all the alcohol in the house was finished.
There's a knock at the door outside.
"Who is it?" Sun Jun goes to open the door, still half asleep.
Just as the door opened, something dark bumped into his head. "Ouch, what is this?"
" Jun'er..." A familiar voice entered his ears, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
"Dad!"
In front of him appeared an old man who was a head shorter than him, with almost white hair and beard. Although he was not young, he carried a large bag on his back, like the kind used for carrying fertilizer in the countryside. The bag was filled with vegetables freshly picked from the family's land. This was Sun Jun's father, Sun Dingshan. A seemingly unremarkable old man, yet possessing a strong force.
Sun JunHastily, I went forward to help him unload the things on his back. Immediately, he felt as if a thousand pounds of weight were pressing down on his hands, and it was difficult for him to catch it alone.
" brother Jin, come and help!" Sun Jun shouted at the top of his lungs, waking Jin Yuan from its slumber.
Upon hearing his plea, Jin Yuan swiftly arrived and helped him unload the heavy load from Sun Dingshan's back, carrying everything inside by himself.
" brother Sun, you..."
"Don't waste words, quickly let the old man come in and rest." Jin Yuan said in a commanding tone, with no time to explain anything to him.
"Dad, how did you come here?"
Little old man Sitting on the sofa, feeling a bit uncomfortable, "Jun'er, do you have a harder stool? I'm not used to this sofa."
Jin Yuan immediately handed over a stool to the old man, "Thank you, young man."
The old man finally felt much more comfortable and explained to Sun Jun, "Your mother knew you were unemployed and worried that you wouldn't have enough to eat, so she was prepared to personally carry a bag of rice for you. I stopped her and said, 'I will bring it to you myself.'"
It turns out that the full bag was filled with rice, and it must have weighed at least 120 catties.
"Who told you I was unemployed!" He was very unhappy with the person who leaked the information, and at the same time, he was thinking that he hadn't told anyone his situation, not even his parents. The last time he borrowed money from someone, it was a friend from college. How could his parents find out that he had quit his job.
little old man He didn't say who told them, but showed them a bag of rice he had brought back. The white rice grains were bright and shiny, all harvested from his own field, grown for his own consumption.
"These vegetables were just picked today, so they are very fresh."
Unfortunately, no matter how fresh the vegetables are, after being carried over 200 kilometers, many of them have still gone bad and been crushed at the bottom."
Sun Jun couldn't help but complain, "I can easily buy this here. You've traveled a long way and spent a lot on transportation. How much rice do I need to buy to make up for that?"
This deal is definitely not cost-effective, but the two old men at home wouldn't bother to calculate it.
"We're also afraid that you won't have enough to eat over here," the little old man said softly.
"Alright, Jun'er, you stay here and if you feel like you can't make it, just go back to your hometown. Your mom and I have been wanting to talk to you about finding a wife for you. That girl has been wanting to marry you for a long time. You graduated from a prestigious university, and she really likes you, she doesn't mind that you haven't made much money."
"Dad, why are you leaving as soon as you arrived? Have you had breakfast so early?"
He could guess that his father must have left for the county town before dawn, and then took a bus from the county town to City A.
"I still need to go back. There's still work to be done at home, and your mom definitely can't handle it alone."
"Uncle, why don't you rest here for a day before going back," Jin Yuan also persuaded.
"Young man, have you gotten married?"
Jin Yuan shook his head.
"Then you and Jun'er live together, you two should work hard, get married early, and let your parents hold their grandchildren sooner."
little old man turned and walked towards the door, "If it's delayed for a few more years, parents won't be able to hold their grandchildren anymore..."
This sounds like something said to Jin Yuan, and also like something said to one's own son.
"Dad, take a day off before you leave..."
The stubborn old man still left. Before the old man left, Jin Yuan blew two breaths towards the old man, and a hair silently attached to the old man.
"I hope it will make both of you healthier, until the day Sun Jun gets married and has children."
