Chapter 1666 Irony

Gao Yang had a paper bag in each hand, and there were two hot dogs in each paper bag, so he couldn't hold the hot dogs and eat them, so he took the hot dogs and walked to the homeless man he noticed, and whispered: "Hi, brother, If you’re hungry, I can buy you two hot dogs.”

The homeless man who lowered his head, hugged his knees, and had a piece of cardboard thrown at his feet raised his head. He looked at Gao Yang in surprise. When he found Gao Yang holding a hot dog in front of his eyes, he took it. hot dog, then nodded and said, "Thank you."

"You are welcome."

Gao Yang opened the paper bag, took out the hot dog, stood there and started to eat hungrily, and then he found that the homeless man next to him was eating much more fiercely than him.

"Oh, man, you look like you've been hungry for a long time."

The homeless man, three to one, finished the two hot dogs in a few seconds, but Gao Yang hadn't finished the first one yet, so he held the hot dog in one hand, touched his body a few times with the other, and took out a banknote. , said loudly: "How many more do you think you can eat?"

The homeless man saw that Gao Yang was serious, so he said seriously: "I think I can still eat ten. I think this is no problem."

Gao Yang shrugged, handed the banknote in his hand to the homeless man, and then whispered: "I have twenty yuan, and hot dogs are one and a half, so it is enough for you to eat, but you have to buy it yourself." , I’m still eating here.”

The homeless man looked at Gao Yang, stood up from the ground, took the money, and stood next to the hot dog cart. Then every time he got a hot dog, he would walk back and stand next to Gao Yang to eat together. After eating, he would go to the hot dog cart again. Take the next one.

When Gao Yang was eating his second hot dog and realized that he was not full, he shouted to the homeless man standing next to the hot dog: "Hey, man, give me another one. I think I need another one." OK."

The homeless man walked up to Gao Yang with a hot dog. When Gao Yang caught the hot dog and started eating, he handed the money he found to Gao Yang. Then he said in a deep voice: "I got ten dollars back, but he charged fifty cents less."

Gao Yang took the money and put it in his pocket. He smiled and said, "You said you could eat ten."

"Well, after being hungry all day and all night, I overestimated my belly capacity."

Gao Yang shrugged, said nothing, and continued to eat the hot dog while standing. Then he choked. Just as he was hiccupping, the homeless man stretched out his index finger and shook it. Then he quickly took out a bottle of Coke from his backpack on the ground, unscrewed it and handed it to Gao Yang.

"Drink,

I asked you back, it's unopened, you saw it, I just opened it. "

After Gao Yang drank half a bottle of Coke in one breath, he burped, then looked at the homeless man and smiled: "Thank you, you helped me a lot."

The homeless man spread his hands and said, "I'd be happy to do something for you."

Gao Yang raised the Coke bottle and shook it, then took another sip. He took a bite of the hot dog and said vaguely: "I'm surprised. You said you were very hungry just now. But you have Coke. Although it is not good for your teeth and body, Coke is still very high in calories. Why do you Don’t drink it.”

"The day before yesterday, a kind lady bought me a burger and gave me a bottle of Coke, but my stomach is not good and I have too much stomach acid. If I drink Coke without eating or eating too little, it will make me feel uncomfortable. One night. So I stayed.”

Gao Yang nodded and waited for him to finish eating the hot dog. After drinking all the Coke, the homeless man reached out to him. He said with a serious face: "Thank you, sir, you are a good man."

Gao Yang shook hands with the tramp, and then he smiled and said: "You're welcome, I just saw the sign you put, and I'm in a good mood today, well, I hope this won't damage your self-esteem, take it. I just hope I can help you."

Gao Yang took out three hundred dollars. He had a total of four hundred dollars in cash in his wallet, and he still had one hundred dollars left to take a taxi home.

Basically, Gao Yang will not give money to beggars, but the sign placed next to the homeless man reads: "I am just a homeless retired soldier, not a beggar."

Gao Yang just thought it was interesting that this homeless man wrote such a sign even though he was like this, so after he was in a good mood and had just earned a million dollars, he was willing to help a homeless man who he thought was quite interesting. .

The homeless man looked at the money in Gao Yang's hand, then he reached out and took it without hesitation, nodded and smiled at Gao Yang: "Thank you, man, I'm very grateful to you."

Gao Yang shrugged and said: "You're welcome, man, this little money is nothing to me. I hope you are in a good mood, and I wish you good luck. Goodbye."

The tramp shook his head and said: "No, no, it's not to thank you for the money you gave me. I haven't had lunch with others for a long time. You are willing to eat hot dogs with me here. This makes me feel good, because I haven't had lunch with anyone for a long time." Dined and chatted with others.”

Gao Yang discovered the special features of this homeless man very early. First of all, he was very clean and had no sour smell, which was rare for a homeless man. Also, he was wearing a T-shirt on his upper body, but t But there was a Purple Heart medal pinned to his shirt.

The Purple Heart Medal has a very low level in the U.S. Meritorious Medal System. Anyone who has been injured in combat can obtain it. Therefore, many people have received the Purple Heart Medal. However, this low-level Purple Heart Medal has a very low level in the eyes of military personnel. There is still some status here. After all, you can only get it if you have been on the battlefield and been injured.

For various reasons, Gao Yang was willing to help an unusual-looking homeless man, but the simplest thing was that he was just in a good mood.

"Oh, you're welcome, man, you have a Purple Heart, and I have a bit of a thing for soldiers, so I'm happy to have lunch with you."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, the tramp looked at the medal on his chest, then he curled his lips, smiled at Gao Yang and said: "Oh, brother, I hung this up on purpose, but it's not to show anything. Honor, I’m being sarcastic right now! I’m sarcastic on some people, I hope you won’t be too surprised to know this.”

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, that's it. I'm really surprised."

"do you know?"

The homeless man spread his hands and said seriously to Gao Yang: "Did you know? There are about 750,000 homeless people in the United States, of which 200,000 are veterans, more than a quarter, very few. No worries, I am one of them."

Gao Yang has no interest in contributing to the placement of veterans in the United States, although he will actually help a lot of people because his company needs a large number of veterans, but finding suitable employees and funding out of good intentions are two different things.

So Gao Yang could only shake his head with a helpless expression and sighed. At this time, the tramp shook the banknotes in his hand at Gao Yang, then put the money into his pocket, and then smiled and said: "Thank you. Fund, I will pay you back, my name is Jesse Lee, from the Marine Corps, nice to meet you, sir." (To be continued.)
