Chapter 12 5. The teahouse was humiliated

Grandpa spent the whole night telling me about his past, and when he finished, it was almost dawn. I have never heard such a thrilling story, I don't know what to say, and I don't know why he told me so much, I sat stupidly, the water in the teacup was already completely cold. "Silly," the grandfather said, "now you know why I said I was not as good as you at the beginning, right? I'm just a beggar, now I'm a master, and you're still a waiter anyway. Do you think you can do it too?" Lord?" I didn't know what to answer, so I thought to myself: Who can compare with you? My hands tremble when I kill a chicken, but you kill two people without blinking an eye. I don't have the courage and courage.

Seeing that I didn't speak, grandpa continued, "Silly Liang, do you want to talk to grandpa?" I was startled, did you ask me to come today because you want me to join him?Be a liar?I was sweating for a while. Although we are poor, we have never done or dared to do things that are harmful to nature since we were young. I said timidly: "Master, the young ones don't have the ability or the courage. The young ones have the mouth." It’s enough to eat, but I can’t compare to you..." "Hahahaha." Before I finished speaking, Grandpa laughed, which made my hair stand on end.

The grandfather said: "Do you want to be like this forever? Do you want to be a waiter all your life? Don't you want to earn money and marry a wife? There are three unfilial acts, and the greatest thing is to have no descendants." Grandpa's words touched my heart. When a man grows up, who doesn't miss spring?There are a lot of people coming and going every day, and I can only peek behind the door. Sometimes when a beautiful girl comes, I can’t help but look at her bulging breast buttons when I make tea for them, and then pretend to be beautiful. It's okay to leave immediately.I also thought about it at night, thinking that one day I would be able to bridal chamber and carry on the family line, but when I thought of being a poor man, I had to scratch my buttocks, pick my nose, and then fall asleep with my head covered.

The grandfather suddenly asked again: "Silly, how did your mother die?" I replied: "Consumption." The grandfather said, "Have you seen it with the doctor?" When I mentioned this, my heart ached, and I said: "I saw it for a few days at first, but then I ran out of money and had nowhere to borrow it. The doctor gave me a few medicines and quickly finished them. Then I vomited blood. And later on..." Grandfather said: "How are you buried after death?" I feel that my grandfather is exposing my sore spots, which is something that I have always felt bitter about all my life.After the old lady died, she couldn't afford to buy a coffin, so she wrapped it in a mat and put it in a wardrobe for clothes. The villagers helped to carry it out and buried it like this.My old lady has suffered all her life, and in the end she didn't even have a shroud or a coffin. Every time I think about it, I cry unconsciously.

Seeing that I was crying, Grandpa handed me a handkerchief and said, "If you still want to live like this, you can go back to the teahouse. If you want to follow me, come back to me." After I came out of my grandfather's mansion, I ran all the way back to the teahouse, my grandfather's words kept lingering in my ears, and I didn't know how to make a choice.I don't understand why grandpa chose me. I'm not smart, I look like a pig, and I have the courage to compete with a mouse. This is incompatible with Abao. During the day, I was still a waiter. I didn’t sleep all night last night, my eyes were dry and dull, and I was thinking about my grandfather, so I was absent-minded.At noon, my grandfather came, and I dared not look at him.He still shouted loudly: "Silly Liang, bring me a pot of Longjing!"

"Here we come!" I sang loudly, and brewed a pot of good Longjing for him. He still had a white paper fan, drinking and fanning himself. I glanced at him twice, but he ignored me, and I was busy greeting other guests. After a while, two young men came in, they were fooling around, and I hurried up to meet them: "Masters, please come inside." "Give me a pot of good tea!" "Okay!" I hurriedly brewed it for them. After brewing, I carefully brought the tea bowl in front of them. It's on the ground, I didn't know how it fell, maybe it was swept by my sleeve when I turned around just now.

The shopkeeper told me that if you encounter this situation, you should apologize quickly and check whether the tea has been spilled on the guests' feet. If tea and tea leaves are spilled on the guests' feet, you should immediately wipe them off with your own sleeves. I kept bowing and apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Seeing that tea was indeed spilled on a person's feet, I hurriedly bent down, trying to wipe him off with my sleeve. As soon as I touched his foot, I didn't expect that the other kicked me away, and it was kicking on my chest. I felt like I was out of breath, and I couldn't breathe for a long time due to the pain.

"Damn it! Do you know how much my pair of shoes cost? Your dirty hands deserve to polish these shoes?" the kid scolded. I squatted against the wall with my chest in my hands. I know I did it again today. I have encountered this kind of situation before, and I have also been slapped. I just want this matter to pass as soon as possible. I don’t want to argue, nor Dare to argue. The shopkeeper saw that things were not good, so he hurriedly walked out of the surrounding table, and said with a smile on his face: "You two masters, please calm down, please calm down, my little apprentice is ignorant and sloppy, I'm sorry, I'm sorry , the tea is free today, so I’m going to pay you back.” Then he turned to me, “Hurry up and get out!”

I got up and was about to leave, but unexpectedly the kid said: "Wait a minute," and then waved to me: "Come here." I figured he was going to slap me, I covered my cheeks, slowly moved over, and looked at him in fear. 他对我笑了笑，说：“你看你长的这副揍性！这样吧，你把我这鞋上的茶叶末子舔干净，这事就算了，否则，老子今天把这茶楼连同你一块smashed!" I know that I am cheap, and I have been ridiculed a lot since I was a child, but this kind of shoe licking has never happened. It seems that people really don't treat me as a human being.I looked at the shopkeeper helplessly, and the shopkeeper nodded in embarrassment, motioning for me to lick him right away.

I suddenly thought of my grandfather, and turned to look at his seat for help.I think grandpa will definitely help me, he is a chivalrous person! Unexpectedly, grandpa didn't glance here at all. He still fanned his fan and drank tea leisurely, as if everything that happened in this teahouse didn't touch him at all. In desperation, I squatted down slowly, stuck out my tongue, and licked the tea leaves off the other's round-toe cloth shoes.The other party looked at me licking his feet and laughed, extremely happy. I felt that I had no dignity at all. After licking, I ran to the back hall, found a corner where there was no one, and burst into tears.

At night, I quietly walked towards my grandfather's mansion, halfway there, hesitated again, walked back, walked back for a while, turned back again, repeated several times, and finally came to my grandfather's door. I stood at the door, wondering if he was asleep or not, I reached out and knocked on the door, the door opened, the housekeeper saw me and said, "Come in, grandpa is waiting for you." I was taken aback, and followed the housekeeper in. Grandpa was sitting on a chair drinking tea. When he saw me coming, he said, "Have you figured it out?" I bowed my head and didn't speak. After a while, I said sullenly, "Today... you saw it all... I thought..." "You think I'll help you, don't you?" Grandfather cut off my words, "I tell you, I can kill those two bastards immediately, but that's me, not you, you have to live with dignity!" Grandpa roared, and I fell silent. "It's good that you understand it yourself. In this world, you can't live in an honest way! Starting tomorrow, you can come to the hall." Grandpa said. I raised my head, "Grandpa, I..." Grandpa said: "Don't worry, I won't let you do murder and arson!" In this way, I followed my grandfather.
