Chapter 27 The twenty-sixth benefactor of Xiaogui who sells steamed buns

In the small town where Jie Chen lives, there is a Guiji steamed bun shop that is doing very well.The owner of the steamed bun shop, surnamed Gui, is an elderly benefactor in his fifties or sixties.Boss Gui often likes to tell customers about the history of Guiji Mantou Shop. He said that his shop is a time-honored shop founded by his grandfather and has a history of 70 to 80 years. Boss Gui’s words, I believe it, because this shop is different from other shops on the same street at a glance. In stark contrast. From Jie Chen's point of view, the good business of Guiji Steamed Bun Shop is not only because the steamed buns in the store are delicious, but also because of Gui's management ability.Jie Chen remembers a time when a benefactor Wu from a neighboring town came to Tianming Temple to fulfill his vows. On the way back, he bought a few steamed buns from Guiji. As a result, the benefactor Gui was so happy that he talked about it with everyone, but he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally. Don't mention the fact that Donor Wu came to Tianming Temple to offer incense, but focus on publicizing that Donor Wu traveled a long way to buy steamed buns because he likes his steamed buns.

As far as Jie Chen knows, besides steamed buns, Boss Gui is most proud of his son.Boss Gui's son is about the same age as Jie'an. Many years ago, Jie'an heard the comments from the benefactors in the same town. They said that Xiaogui's benefactor's grades are very good, and he must be the material for entering a key university. Junior brother Jie Chen and Jie Ao are not very familiar with Xiao Gui’s benefactor, probably because Xiao Gui’s benefactor is not like Jie Chen and Jie Ao who have nothing to do and often hang out. He spends most of his time at home studying hard, so when he met There are not many opportunities.

After graduating from high school, Xiao Gui's benefactor did not disappoint. He was admitted to a pretty good university, and after graduating from the university, he was successfully admitted to a graduate student. In those few years, boss Gui’s topic of selling steamed buns also changed.He often feels that his steamed bun shop may not be open for a few years. Once he retires, there will be no one to run it, because his son will definitely not inherit his father's business in the future and will definitely develop in a big city. Although on the surface, Boss Gui should be very sad because of the loss of "steamed bun culture", but in fact, every time Boss Gui talks about this topic, he is in a good mood, always pretending to be depressed, but actually showing off Feel.

A few years later, Xiaogui graduated with a master's degree, but he couldn't find a suitable job, and finally returned to his hometown.The benefactor who knew the inside story said that the benefactor Xiaogui has an introverted personality and reading is a good material, but he has problems communicating with others. When applying for a job in a company, he will make mistakes every time he interviews. After Xiaogui stayed at home for a few months, there was no progress in his work. Maybe he himself felt bored at home, so he went to Guiji Mantou Shop to help. Seeing Xiaogui benefactor selling steamed buns, Jie Chen always felt a little uncomfortable.In the first few months, Xiao Gui’s benefactor always looked worried and didn’t like to communicate with customers. The way he collected money and handed buns was cool, and his expression was always calm. The only difference was that he settled accounts It's fast, like it doesn't need to think, and it never makes mistakes.

Boss Gui was not in a good mood during that time, and he complained to others in private.He said that Chinese society is too concerned about relationships. If his family hadn't been in a small town for generations and had no background, he might be able to find a good job for his son. But fortunately, Xiao Gui's benefactor adjusted his emotions relatively quickly.After a few months, Xiaogui's benefactor became active, and he smiled when he saw people, and sometimes he even told a few jokes.Moreover, Jie Chen discovered that Xiao Gui's benefactor is a master at telling cold jokes, and often makes people laugh in a serious manner.

It was during that time that Jie Chen became acquainted with Xiao Gui's benefactor, in fact, Jie Chen felt sorry for Xiao Gui's benefactor in his heart.Although people often say that as long as you are self-reliant, there is no distinction between high and low, but after all, Xiao Gui's benefactor has read books for so many years, and now he has given up all of them. To do this kind of work that does not require mental labor, I always feel that I am overqualified. The benefactor Xiaogui had been selling steamed buns for more than a year, but when everyone was getting used to his presence, he suddenly disappeared.In the first days, Jie Chen didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Xiaogui's benefactor might be traveling or doing other things. inquire about.Boss Gui told Jie An with a smile that it turned out that Xiao Gui's benefactor had found a job he was satisfied with, and now he has gone to work in other places.

Jie Chen is very happy for Xiao Gui's benefactor from the bottom of his heart, but he still feels a bit regretful in the perfect ending, because Jie An feels that time is really precious, and with Xiao Gui's talent, he wasted more than a year on a job that is completely unsuitable for him It is indeed a pity. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jie Chen met the benefactor Xiaogui who was going home to visit relatives.Xiaogui stood next to the steamed bun shop, pointed to the counter inside, and said that this is where he changed the most. The life of Xiaogui’s benefactor has always been very closed. He only knows about reading and taking exams every day. At a loss.Selling steamed buns in the steamed bun shop is Xiaogui’s first real contact with the society. He learned to cherish life here and learn to communicate with people in the society. Although this is just the simplest communication, it is also a good start .

Hearing the words of the benefactor Xiaogui, Jie Chen suddenly felt that his previous thoughts might be wrong. The benefactor Xiaogui did not waste his time in the steamed bun shop, but instead increased his life experience. Perhaps there has never been an experience in life that is truly useless, whether in the highs, lows, or peaceful little days of life, we will all get the gift of life. We often complain that life gives us too little, it may be because we have not found that it has given us a lot.
