Chapter 8 Back up a car with lemons

There was a couple in the market selling lemons: "Twenty yuan for three catties, twenty yuan for three catties—lemons are very popular." I followed the crowd to look around, and felt that twenty yuan for three catties was too cheap, and there probably wouldn't be any good ones. The truck was piled high with green lemons that I grew lemons as a kid, so I could tell they were good lemons, with thin, plump, smooth, moist skins. While I was picking lemons, I asked in disbelief: "You sell these lemons so cheaply, how can you get back the cost?" The lemon seller was a middle-aged man with a farmer's frost on his face. He smiled and said: "When I was driving out today, a man backed up a car full of lemons, so I stopped to pick them up for him. He said to me: 'Young man, these lemons are too vulgar. I don't want to pick them up. Let you pick them up and sell them. Alright." After finishing speaking, he drove away, and I had no choice but to sell the lemon car here, which was originally intended to be taken away by others, but I thought that I would have to work to pick lemons, and the car would also cost gas, so it was a big vulgar sale , twenty yuan for three catties. "

The people who bought lemons laughed when they heard this, and the farmer's wife couldn't help but burst out laughing. She patted her husband on the shoulder and said to the customer: "This year's lemon planting is amazing, and you can tell your mood." These jokes." Because of the cheerfulness of the farmer and his wife, everyone turned sympathy into admiration, and the lemons were so cheap that the whole cart was quickly emptied. When I went home and drank the cool lemon juice, I thought of the farmer's expression and tone when he talked about pouring lemons into the cart. I was very moved, as if there was coolness in midsummer.There is misery in our lives occasionally, but to those who have a sense of humor and can stand up to it, it is just a cool breeze.

"After all kinds of mortal disasters, Like a cool breeze lightening the Buddha's face. " Really, lemon is the most sour, but with a little honey, there is no other drink that can compare with it. The bitterness of life is like the sourness of lemon, and the humorous attitude is honey, which makes even the sourest lemon juice have a good taste . There is no doubt that little people can develop a sense of humor in life. Take a look at the big sign in the market: "Watermelon growers committed suicide. Watermelon is five yuan per catty. It's sweet when you open it. If it's not sweet, it's free."

In fact, the watermelon grower did not commit suicide, and the watermelon seller is the melon farmer. Listen to the man who sells a garment for ninety-nine yuan, how he sells it: "Ruantou's family ran away to the mainland, and the salary was not paid to us, so we had to use the clothes from the garment factory to cover the salary. Walking wages, everyone." Asking carefully, he is probably the first person to go to the mainland in his own words. The old man who set off early in the morning and sold cups and bowls from Yingge can only sell a cup for five yuan; the woman who took the train from Yilan to sell self-grown loofah and bamboo shoots sold a loofah for only ten yuan ;The person who sold rags along the road in a wheelchair and lost his legs... These people didn't say a word, but their resolute faces moved me.

Therefore, every time I feel dissatisfied with life, I will go to the crowded market to see the life scenes of the little people. They insist on the will to live in this chaotic society and tolerate failure with a broad heart. Trampling and trampling are really the result of breaking the bottom line in life. At this time, my heart will be like the vegetation in spring regaining its vitality, standing on the common ground with those humble people, ready to bloom new flowers and bear new fruits.
