Hearing this, the delivery man was startled for a moment, and it could be seen from his expression that he felt very guilty for his son.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked the noodle shop owner;
"Boss, how much does this drink cost?"
The noodle shop owner glanced over and said;
"A tiny amount of money."
A tiny amount of money, before global prices depreciated a million times, would be ten dollars.
It's not very expensive, but for just a bottle of drink, it's not cheap either.
It was obvious that the delivery man was startled again, then squatted down and said to the little boy;
"Xiaodong, if you are thirsty, we have a kettle on the electric car. Dad can give it to you to drink later, okay?"
Hearing this, the little boy's mouth suddenly turned down and he said with a cry;
"But I just want to drink that drink, I want to taste what it tastes like..."
The delivery man's eyes were obviously distressed, but he had to keep a straight face and said to his son seriously;
"Xiaodong, you have to be obedient. Mom is still in the hospital. Let's save the money and keep it for mom's treatment so that she can get well soon, okay?"
When he heard his mother, the little boy stopped crying immediately, wiped his tears firmly, and nodded vigorously;
"Okay... Xiaodong is obedient. Xiaodong wants his mother to get well soon. Xiaodong won't drink any more drinks..."
The noodle shop owner heard these words. He stopped the busy movements of his hands, raised his head and said;
"Take that bottle of drink and give it to your child for free."
However, the delivery man shook his head and said firmly;
"No need, you can't spoil a child, otherwise you'll want it when you see it in the future."
Although he said this, the guilt and helplessness on his face could not be concealed.
This scene was also seen and heard by Liang Tian, who was eating noodles, and a soft place in his heart was deeply touched.
Liang Tian's family conditions were not good since he was a child. He could only watch many of the things that the children around him could eat and drink.
Such as Golego, Mother's Beef Strips, Wangzai Milk, etc...
Especially Wangzi milk, Liang Tian only drank it once when he went to a classmate's house to play, but the sweet and fragrant taste lasted throughout his childhood.
It's just that the conditions in Liang Tian's family at that time really didn't allow him to drink as much as he wanted.
After all, at that time, radishes, vegetables and potatoes only cost a few cents a pound, and a can of Wangzai milk costing three or four yuan was the cost of a meal for the whole family...
Thinking of this, I looked at the little boy who wiped away his tears with determination.
Liang Tian stood up, walked over, took out his mobile phone and scanned the payment code;
[Ding! The credit card has arrived, one, micro, money.]
Then Liang Tian picked up the bottle of drink, handed it to the little boy, and said with a smile;
"Come on, this is a reward for being obedient for your mother's sake. Drink it."
When the delivery man saw this, he quickly waved his hands;
"No, no, brother, I see you are also delivering food. It is not easy for us to make money. With this bottle of drink, both orders are in vain."
"Hurry up and put it back and let the boss return the money to you. You are young. When you start a family, you will know that there are more places to use your money. Save more money."
Seeing that the takeaway brother insisted not to do it, Liang Tian directly turned the bottle cap off and continued to smile;
"Brother, this is all opened. There is no way to withdraw it, so let's give it to the child."
"It's not easy for you either. Your wife is sick and hospitalized, and you have to make money by delivering food, and you also have to take care of your children."
"I can't help you much, it's just a bottle of drink, so don't refuse, ha."
After saying that, Liang Tian put the drink into the little boy's hand, then turned around and left, disappearing into the night on his electric bike.
At this moment, the little boy who finally got his wish and drank the drink suddenly said to the takeaway brother;
"Dad, Dad, the drink that uncle gave me had a piece of paper on it."
After hearing this, the delivery man quickly took it over to take a look and found that there was a dime note stuck on the drink bottle.
A dime today is equivalent to 100,000 yuan before price depreciation!
The delivery man immediately realized something and quickly took the money and ran out the door, hoping to find Liang Tian and return it.
But after exiting the noodle shop, Liang Tian was nowhere to be seen.
In an instant, he looked at the dime in his hand, his eyes red;
"How many orders do you have to deliver to earn this dime... That little brother, I'm afraid he gave me all his savings..."
At the same time, Liang Tian on the other side bought a can of Wangzai milk when passing by a small shop, and sat on the roadside to drink it.
The sweet and fragrant taste reminded him of many childhood memories. But halfway through drinking, a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he said to himself;
"I always feel that there is something different compared to when I was a kid."
"Sure enough, what I didn't have in childhood, even if I want to make up for it now, I still don't have the feeling I had then..."
In the next twenty days or so, Liang Tian was busy from morning to night every day.
Before the end of the month, five thousand yuan was transferred to an account given by Deng Juchang to support national technology projects.
Then he transferred another 3,000 yuan to the Richest Group. After all, he had promised a long time ago that he would invest another 50,000 yuan in this year.
Furthermore, He Xiang's company needs at least one thousand yuan of funds to transfer to expand its business in City H.
There is also Jinda Real Estate, which also invested a thousand yuan in order to expand its business and establish a foothold in City H.
Finally, for the team that specializes in searching for famous doctors all over the world, tens of dollars a month are indispensable, and other invested companies encounter difficulties and need development, etc...
After a month of hard work, Liang Tian had no hair left.
Sometimes he even laments;
"Why do you still feel like you don't have enough money even though global prices have depreciated a million times? Oh my god, I finally know why those big bosses are crying about poverty all day long."
What should I do if I have no money? Keep earning.
Liang Tian worked harder to deliver food, day after day, week after week, month after month...
On this day, Liangtian's electric car broke down and he sent it to be repaired. The maintenance man said it would take half a day to repair it.
Liang Tian didn't want to waste half a day, so he simply drove his Daben out to deliver food.
Just take it for a ride, otherwise it wouldn't be good to leave it there all the time.
When I went to a store to pick up food, I met the takeaway man with his son.
The delivery man was waiting for the meal, and the little boy stood aside obediently. This time he didn't cry or make a fuss, and he didn't ask for any more drinks.
Liang Tian quickly put on a mask to prevent the delivery man from discovering him.
Otherwise, with that big brother’s character, he would probably chase me to pay back the dime.
As for Liang Tian's meal, he was still in line behind the takeaway guy, and there were several takeaway guys waiting to pick up the meal in between, so he probably wouldn't be discovered easily.
But what's going on with this store?
Why are so many takeaways gathered here waiting for food to be delivered? How many orders are there in the backlog?
Many delivery people are anxiously looking at the time and urging the merchants to hurry up.
But the business owner was a fat woman wearing white clothes. She didn't know why, but she kept taking her time and scolded the delivery people;
"Shut up, everyone! Whoever makes more noise will have his meal last!"
Hearing this, most of the delivery staff could only hold back the anger in their hearts. After all, no one wants their meal to be late or overdue.
The fat woman showed a smug expression after seeing the delivery guys who had calmed down, as if she was happy that she had caught the weak spots of the delivery guys.
In this way, everyone waited for nearly ten minutes without saying anything, but during this period only one meal was served.
The takeaway man with his son still hadn't waited for his meal to come out. He looked at his phone and said anxiously to the fat woman;
"Boss, I really beg you, there are only ten minutes left for the delivery of my order. Can you please hurry up, otherwise my order will definitely time out."
Facing the delivery man's almost pleading tone, the fat woman asked indifferently;
"What's your number?"
The delivery man thought that the fat woman asked because she promised to go faster, so he quickly answered happily;
"I am number 20. The one that brother took away just now is number 19. I will be next. I will be fine soon, right?"
However, the fat woman smiled coldly;
"It's the 20th, right? Come on, come on, hurry up and reincarnate!"
"Okay, I'll let you hurry. You go and wait in the back. I'll let the waiter prepare your meal last."
Hearing this, the delivery man was stunned.
But after reacting, he still begged;
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really anxious because it's about to time out. I don't mean anything else. Please..."
Before the delivery man could finish speaking, the fat woman interrupted him with a loud voice;
"You can't understand people, can you? I asked you to wait at the back! Otherwise, you won't even get a meal today!"
These words made all the delivery people present feel angry.
However, they were also afraid that the fat woman would embarrass them in this way, so none of them dared to express their anger.
The delivery man saw how unreasonable the other party was, so he had no choice but to sigh, and then made a phone call;
"Hey, hello, I'm the delivery person delivering takeout to you. The merchant hasn't delivered the food yet, so it's definitely going to time out..."
"Yes, yes, it will probably take a long time for the food to be served... Oh, then you mean to cancel the order directly, right?"
"Okay, okay, I'm really sorry for delaying your meal time. I also want to say sorry to you on behalf of the merchant..."
Just like that, the takeaway guy really had no choice but to call and notify the customer.
The customer seemed to be quite easy to talk to. He just said that he could cancel the order, so he didn't embarrass the takeaway guy too much.
However, after the fat woman heard these words, she suddenly got angry and howled;
"Fuck you! Who allowed you to ask customers to cancel their orders? Aren't you delaying me from making money!"
The delivery man who was scolded all over said helplessly;
"There's nothing I can do about your delay in bringing out the meal. There are less than ten minutes left, so the order will definitely be timed out."
"If I exceed the time limit, I will be fined. If I get complained again, my work will be in vain for two or three days, so I must explain the situation to the customer."
"Besides, it was the customer who took the initiative to cancel the order. I didn't..."
The fat woman didn't listen to the delivery man's explanation at all. She just kept angrily interrupting him;
"It's none of my business whether you overtime or not, whether you're fined or not!"
"Anyway, if you call the customer to cancel the order, you are delaying me from making money. You have to compensate me for the meal!"
