RBCT Chapter 1177 Old man, you've become a coward.
Chapter 1177 Old man, you've become a coward.
This old man is truly a good person. There's nothing he can do. Miss Yuan is crying so sadly, but in front of him, she's just a little girl. She was already upset about the car accident, not only did she have to pay compensation, but the car also had to be repaired, and now she can't even take the cow back. He should comfort her. He only contributed two pounds of beef, but it might make the little girl feel a bit better.
What the old man didn't know was that the gold chain he refused wasn't a toy or made of plastic, but real gold.
This gold chain is worth over 300,000 yuan, enough for the old man's family to earn for two or three years.
Miss Yuan genuinely wanted to give it, because in her opinion, this gold chain was far from enough to make her feel better.
She felt so guilty and ashamed. She had brought people to cause trouble, and the old man had comforted her and even given her beef. This only highlighted her ugly behavior, causing her to not only lose money and face, but also become the villain.
Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a gang of thugs bullying a lone person, since all five of them were wearing thick gold chains around their necks and didn't look like good people at all!
Miss Yuan can accept losing money, but she can't stand being bullied. She can accept her mistakes, but she can't accept being seen as a villain who bullies elderly people living alone. She still has a conscience.
Tears streamed down my face the whole way.
"Come here~"
In the studio, Lin Mo brought out a plate of stir-fried beef, and Miss Yuan's sorrowful tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.
He used all two pounds of beef that the old man gave him, and together with other side dishes, he made five dishes and served them.
Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan had eaten lunch, but the others hadn't.
Originally, the class monitor and the others were going to the cafeteria, but Miss Yuan came back and hadn't eaten, so they went back with them to ask for beef.
As for Chuanmei, although she had dinner with Principal Tang and others, she didn't eat much in that situation. Dinnering with leaders is too tiring; it's practically torture.
With this round trip, it's safe to say that, apart from Lin Mo and Liu Ruyan, everyone else was starving.
"Hurry up, everyone eat, especially Sister Yuan, you have to eat more!" Lin Mo placed the stir-fried beef with scallions in front of Miss Yuan.
Seeing this, Miss Yuan wiped the drool from her mouth and said, "Then I won't be polite, hehe!"
After saying that, he immediately transformed into a rice fairy and started eating rice like crazy. He was crying when he came back just now, but in the blink of an eye, he has become a glutton.
Sadness, though useful to Miss Yuan, can only make her feel bad for a short while. She is a source of happiness herself, so how could she be defeated by sadness?
Of course, the tears didn't disappear into thin air; they simply moved from her eyes to the corners of her mouth.
"Mmm~ Delicious, fragrant, so fragrant! You all should eat too!" Miss Yuan called out to everyone.
Upon hearing this, the others picked up their chopsticks, and the Sichuan girl couldn't help but say, "Although the taste is not bad, it's still quite different from the food Lao Mo used to serve at the restaurant! It's not that delicious!"
“What do you know? This is two jin of beef that Sister Yuan bought for 3200 yuan, which is equivalent to 1600 yuan per jin. It’s top-quality food!” He Xiaoyue said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the squad leader suppressed his trembling shoulders, covered his mouth with his hand, and finally managed to swallow the food in his mouth before saying, "What? There's also the increased insurance premium next year and the vehicle damage fee. It'll be at least ten thousand yuan per kilogram!"
Miss Yuan: →_→
"Hey, that's enough! Don't be so mean! I'm already feeling terrible, and you can't kick me when I'm down like this. We're a group!" Miss Yuan said, somewhat losing her temper.
Although these people cared about her, they didn't let her off the hook.
"Tch, if this gold chain hadn't looked so fake that the old man hadn't taken it, today's losses could have reached hundreds of thousands. Your car isn't that expensive either!" Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes and laughed.
Miss Yuan: "Um, I just feel a little embarrassed. We treated them like this, and the old man repaid evil with kindness. Sigh, I'm so ashamed!"
"You're so generous, aren't you? Next time there's a good deal like this, remember to call us guys. A gold chain worth 300,000 yuan, you just give it away like that? If we split it, each of us could get 50,000 yuan for free. I have to say, Sister Yuan is really generous," Lin Mo said, giving a thumbs up.
Miss Yuan said speechlessly, "Alright, stop talking. You're just talking without understanding the situation. How would you and Liu Ruyan, who weren't wearing employee badges, know about my situation back then?"
Ugh, I've really lost face today. I'm treating everyone to a bar or karaoke in the city later, let's relax and have some fun. Anyone want to sign up?
What can relieve sorrow? Only consumption. Since sadness has already flowed like a river, the only thing to do is to find some sweetness for yourself, so that you can balance it out.
"How can I let Sister Yuan pay? I'll pay! I have to make Sister Yuan happy. It's my treat today, are you coming or not?" Chuanmei stood up and shouted.
Class monitor: "I'm fine with anything, being a day late on the paper is no big deal!"
Director Wang: "I'll listen to the squad leader!"
He Xiaoyue: "If you can do it, then I can too!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo looked at Liu Ruyan.
Liu Ruyan: "Why are you looking at me? Go if you want. I'll join in the fun too. It's been a long time since I've gone out. I'll sleep at Su Su's tonight and go straight to work tomorrow morning."
“Okay, we’ll go too,” Lin Mo said.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly sped up their eating. "Oh no! Star TV has stopped broadcasting!"
While they were eating, He Xiaoyue exclaimed in surprise. Upon hearing this, everyone looked up in disbelief.
Lin Mo asked, "No, this TV station is still around?"
Director Wang: "Yeah, I thought it had stopped airing a long time ago!"
Squad leader: "What a pity, sigh!"
Liu Ruyan: "Really? It's been cancelled? Sigh, my youth is gone forever!"
Miss Yuan: ? ? ?
"What's the matter?"
Sichuan girl: →_→
"No way, Sister Yuan, you don't know Star TV? That was a more authoritative TV station for me when I was a kid, even more so than the children's channel! It had all sorts of foreign cartoons, like Naruto, Inuyasha, and One Piece—you haven't seen them?!"
He Xiaoyue: "Exactly! There's also The Witch's Trial, Mirmo Zibang!, and Cardcaptor Sakura!"
Lin Mo: "I love watching Transformers: The Legend of Cybertron!"
Liu Ruyan: "Don't you guys watch Saint Seiya?"
It has to be said that the cartoons Liu Ruyan watched were a level older than theirs, as can be seen from the original Iron-Blooded Train Hero.
Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan said, "Oh, I've seen some cartoons, but I watched them on the computer. My family didn't have a computer back then!"
Everyone:
Unlike the average person, Miss Yuan has been living a life of luxury since childhood. It should be noted that even when Liu Ruyan was a child, her family's conditions were far from what they are now.
For children from ordinary families, the children's channel, Star TV, and CETV were the three legendary animation channels when they were young.
Lin Mo still remembers that back then, it was common to install those satellite dishes in the countryside. Even his family had one installed and placed it on the balcony. Receiving signals depended entirely on moving the dish around to adjust its position.
The latter two, in particular, were a huge shock to him when he was little; he never knew that animation could be like this.
Compared to a few years ago when kids could only look at that pink hair dryer pig, they ate so much better when they were young.
"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I haven't watched this TV station in a long time. I didn't expect it to be canceled," Liu Ruyan sighed.
Compared to Lin Mo and others, Liu Ruyan, being her age, is more able to empathize with the cartoons she watched as a child. After all, there weren't many forms of entertainment back then, and television was the biggest form of entertainment.
By the time it came to Lin Mo and his generation, they only watched TV for a few years, and then they wanted to play on their phones and outsmart their parents.
Miss Yuan: "Old man, you've become weak. Only someone your age would be so sentimental. We young people are still awesome!"
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at her, not wanting to pay any attention to her at all. How could someone who had grown up in luxury understand the joys of children from ordinary families like them?
"Sister Yuan, we're quite moved too," Lin Mo said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan glanced at her other younger brothers, curled her lip, and said disdainfully, "Then you guys are old things too. Although you are young in body, you are already old in heart. I despise you!"
“Ah, right, right, unlike you, forever a minor,” Liu Ruyan said sarcastically.
Miss Yuan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
However, it must be said that the sudden cancellation of a TV station that was once so familiar to them during their childhood was quite emotional for everyone.
They themselves don't remember the last time they turned on that TV station, and naturally they couldn't know that turning off the TV back then actually turned off their entire childhood. But undeniably, the cartoons on that satellite TV channel gave them a complete childhood.
After all, not everyone's family could afford a computer when they were young. Even now, not every household has a computer. Fortunately, mobile phones have replaced some of the functions of computers, otherwise they still wouldn't be able to watch many programs.
Back then, when they were kids, they had to wait in front of the TV every day to watch those cartoons, episode by episode, while some people could sit in front of the computer and watch them all in one go.
However, this is the price of growing up, because growing up is accompanied by separation. Everyone has to say goodbye to some familiar things when they grow up, and people seem to only feel it when the moment of departure actually arrives.
This is not the first time this has happened, and it will certainly not be the last. Just like right now, although they lamented the loss of their childhood, they quickly recovered from their earlier emotions and got ready to go.
"Elbow, target, bar/KTV, I'm going to party today!" Miss Yuan raised her arm and shouted, and a crowd of people responded.
Soon, the two cars headed towards the city.
