At the beginning of this month, a strange thing happened in Hongyuan supermarket. Every Friday, snack department stores throw away a pack of Oreo cookies.
At first, David, the manager of the supermarket, thought that the employee registration was wrong because there were many other brands of food in Oreo cookies. According to common sense, if a thief steals something, he won't just take a pack of Oreo cookies.
I can change several registered employees in a row, and the record results are still the same. David has no idea. Actually, it's not a big loss to have a pack of Oreo cookies stolen. What he is worried about is whether there is a bigger conspiracy behind this frequent theft.
Not long ago, a supermarket across the street was maliciously blackmailed by some lawless elements. Those people bought a box of Saqima in the supermarket in advance, took it out after going out, put some dry steamed bread, repackaged it and put it on the container of the supermarket, then bought it back, opened it on the spot and blackmailed the supermarket. This argument later caused a lot of trouble. Fortunately, that supermarket has a camera and recorded the whole criminal process, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Think of this matter, big wei fidgety, don't, what is hidden in this humble Oreo cookies?
Before, the foreman of the supermarket suggested that he install cameras in the business area, but Wei refused because he didn't trust customers. But now, he suddenly felt it really necessary to install a camera.
Of course, the loss of goods in the supermarket can't rule out employees stealing from inside. So when installing the camera, Wei specially chose one night and asked the master to install it separately.
The next day happened to be Friday, and since the morning, customers in the supermarket have been pouring in. In order to catch the mysterious thief, David persisted in front of the monitor in the manager's office all day. Seeing that the supermarket is about to close, the biscuit counter has disappeared.
When the supermarket closed, employees began to go out one after another. David rubbed his eyes in disappointment. It seems that today is a waste of effort. Just as he was about to turn off the monitoring, he saw a hand on the Oreo cookie counter.
Wei settled there at once. Although the person who reached out did not appear, he was too familiar with the hand.
Second, the story
How could it be him? Wei was stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. At this point, the employees in the supermarket have almost gone. David rushed downstairs, and a limping old man was slowly coming out. David shouted sharply, "Lao Li, stop."
Other employees who were going home were frightened by Wei's tone and stopped. The short man called Lao Li by David stood there like a stake, speechless.
Wei coldly held out his hand: "Take it out."
Lao Li seemed to want to deny it and replied vaguely. Big Wei Yi grabbed his right hand and went upstairs. On the opened video, a hand with only four fingers is grabbing a pack of Oreo cookies.
No one expected that it was an honest Lao Li who had been stealing supermarkets. David is even sadder. All employees in this supermarket can be sorry for themselves, except Lao Li!
One winter morning two years ago, a dark, dirty and lame old man came to the supermarket door. He is Lao Li. He begged Wei to give himself a job. In fact, supermarkets don't need disabled people like Lao Li. David took him in because he was moved by his story.
Lao Li is from the north. Five years ago, his son was abducted, and he began to embark on the arduous road of finding his son. In recent years, he has traveled all over the country, but found nothing.
In the process of finding his son, Lao Li's home is gone and his wife is gone. Finally, he heard that he had seen a child who looked like his son in this city, so he wandered here again.
In order to survive, Lao Li did a lot of odd jobs and lost his right index finger. When he first arrived in this city, he often went hungry. Just when he couldn't hold on, Lao Li came to the supermarket in Dawei.
Lao Li's story made David cry. He is also a father, and he can understand a father's heart too well. In order to help Lao Li, he not only solved his food and shelter, but also published "Looking for You" in the newspaper for him. But more than a year passed, and there was no news of Lao Li's son. Several times, Lao Li's heart died, and it was David who repeatedly encouraged him to stick to it.
Third, wonders.
After the upsurge of rescuing abducted children in Weibo started on the Internet, Wei put the information of Lao Li's son on the Internet for the first time. Unexpectedly, this rescue in Weibo really came true for Lao Li. Just six months ago, Lao Li's son was found.
Knowing this news, Wei excitedly drove Lao Li to Guangzhou thousands of miles away to pick up the children. Only when I got there did I know that Lao Li's son was trafficked by traffickers to a local couple doing business.
The sight of father and son knowing each other made David sad. His well-dressed son doesn't know Lao Li at all. When Lao Li rushed to hold the baby, the seven-or eight-year-old boy struggled desperately.
The child doesn't want to recognize this shabby old man at all, and the couple who do business actually want to buy the child back from Lao Li at a high price.
Wei was furious. These rich people are really black conscience. How much can I buy a father-son relationship where blood is thicker than water? He helped Lao Li put the little boy in the car and rushed back to his city overnight. On the night of returning home, Lao Li knelt down for David in a small rented room.
David lifted Lao Li up with wet eyes, patiently comforted him and gave the child an adaptation process. As long as father and son are reunited, everything will get better and better.
Because of this friendship, Lao Li has always been loyal in the supermarket. He vowed to repay David, and David also had special trust in him.
But today, this trust has been trampled like this, and Wei can't accept it anyway!
I watched sadly as the foreman took the Oreo bag out of Lao Li's worn trouser pocket. Wei didn't want to say a word, just waved and let Lao Li leave forever.
When Lao Li heard that Manager Wei was going to resign, he immediately climbed on his knees and said, "Manager Wei, please don't fire me. In that case, I really can't help it. '
David doesn't want to continue watching Lao Li's performance. Now, he doesn't trust this man anymore.
But Lao Li begged: "I really want it. You don't know that my son would have to go back to Guangzhou without this package of Oreos. Last month's salary has already been spent. There is really no way, so this scandal has been made. Manager Wei, please forgive me once anyway. "
Without Oreo cookies, my son will go back to Guangzhou? Lao Li's nonsense is too lame. But Lao Li swore that he was telling the truth. Finally, he even asked David to go home and have a look.
Fourth, sadness.
Looking at Lao Li's tearful communication, Wei saw the child struggling in Lao Li's arms again, and he was a little hesitant. Could it be that the day after his son came back, Lao Li was not happy?
He decided to go to Lao Li's house. He turned and went to a low-rise house in Catherine. When Lao Li pushed the door, a neatly dressed child jumped out and shouted angrily, "Where's my Oreo?"
David looked intently. Isn't this Lao Li's son? To his surprise, the child has been back for half a year, but he has not been contaminated with Lao Li's poverty at all. He dressed better than in Guangzhou, and his chubby hands reached out coldly to Lao Li.
As soon as he saw that there were no Oreo cookies, he immediately shouted, "You can't even meet this requirement. Why bother?"
Lao Li rushed to his neighbor's house and borrowed ten yuan. After his son took the money and left, he told David with tears that his son was back, but his heart remained in the rich family in Guangzhou.
Since the first day he came back, he has been going back to find his adoptive parents. In order to keep his son, Lao Li tried to meet all his requirements.
His son suspected that the rented house was broken, so he sent him to the best boarding primary school in the city. The salary was not enough to pay the tuition, and Lao Li even learned to sell blood. But even this would not be enough My son still has requirements. For example, every Friday when he comes home, he must have Oreo cookies.
"I'm really desperate, that's why ..." Lao Li choked up, almost speechless, and Wei's eyes suddenly turned red.
Without saying anything, he turned and walked out of Lao Li's rented room. Head on, Lao Li's son came back with a pack of Oreo cookies. Big Wei Yi grabbed him and tried to fight, but he couldn't.
The child is under ten years old. How can he know the value of family ties?
That day, Wei made a decision. He is willing to pay all the expenses for Lao Li's son to go to school, but on one condition. Starting today, the child must learn to respect his father.
After listening to Wei, Lao Li knelt down again. Wei helped him up and sobbed, "Never sell blood again. Let me know if you need money in the future. "
When he got home at night, Wei felt empty and inexplicably sad.
In the empty night, he looked down at the old piece of paper in his hand. There is only one sentence above: Please help us to raise our son with good people. This was written by my parents forty years ago. He was only one month old at that time.
They all disappeared before he wrote down their faces.
For forty years, although his adoptive parents regarded David as their own, there was always a gap in his heart that could not be filled.
It is because of this regret that he spared no effort to help Lao Li find his son. It is precisely because of this regret that he is willing to forgive Lao Li and spend his financial resources and time to help this stubborn child.
He is not a saint or a great man, but he just doesn't want another person with regrets in this world.
For this dream, David is willing to wait with Lao Li until the child grows up, and finally he can understand that even poverty is happiness.
Father is very sad
