Chapter 1113: I Can't Chat, Don't Force Me

At the end of August, it was so hot that I wanted to stick my tongue out.

In this kind of weather, after a busy day at work, it is definitely the most pleasant thing to sit in groups of three or four and have a barbecue at a barbecue stall.

However, during this period of time, the barbecue industry in Aerospace Street suffered a big loss. Since Space Brother’s barbecue stand became popular overnight because of the "Space BBQ", countless diners who came here for the name have stepped through the entire Aerospace Street. Brother had to temporarily close the store for a period of time to avoid the limelight.

Although countless barbecue restaurants have sprung up under the name of space barbecue restaurant during the period, but after the old diners tried it, they all found sadly that no matter how they do it, it does not have the taste of Space Brother.

But Brother Space didn't know where he went, and there was no one there.

A month has passed, and the heat brought by the Space Grill has finally cooled down, just like this once bustling Aerospace Street.

A large number of buildings on both sides of Aerospace Street cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye during this month.

On both sides of Aerospace Street, there were originally various aviation and aviation-related units, many of which can even be traced back to decades ago. However, with the rise of Dongbin, the completion of the "Bridge of Stars" and the change of aerospace strategy , a large number of talents have been transferred to Dongbin, and the whole street seems to be covered with a layer of gray.

Today, three generations of astronauts, old, middle-aged and young, the first thing they ask each other after meeting is: "Are you going to the East?"

Those who answer yes will get a look of envy, while those who answer no will often be very disappointed.

What is more realistic is that with the development of aerospace technology, many people's knowledge structure can no longer keep up with the development of the times, and they are already facing the risk of being eliminated.

Going to Dongbin means that there may still be a chance to keep up with the development of the times, while staying here on Hangtian Street means that there will be endless waiting, neglect, or... unemployment.

Men are afraid of entering the wrong line of work, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. Facing the situation of industrial restructuring and even a complete change in the direction of development, all they can do is wait silently.

Waiting for a notice to decide one's own destiny is not a good thing.

At this time, if there is a barbecue from Space Brother to relieve the disappointment, then life may be much easier.

But where did he go when he was really needed?

Did he ditch Space Street too?

However, today, after another day of work, during off-duty time, people who came and went suddenly discovered that Brother Space's barbecue stall has opened for business!

A large TV of over 100 inches, wah wah wah, playing a variety show from an unknown station, three or five early arrivals, already waving bamboo sticks and wine bottles, started the carnival, busy figures in front of and behind the barbecue booth , is indeed very familiar, who is it not Space Brother?

In the blink of an eye, the news that Brother Space is back has spread through various circles of friends.

Before six o'clock, Brother Space's barbecue stand was already full, and there was no room left.

Lao Huang is a researcher at a research institute not far from the barbecue stand. When Lao Huang, who is in his forties, brought a few friends to the barbecue stand, he found that the barbecue stand was full and there was no place to sit.

"Alas? Why is there no place to sit?" Lao Huang walked a few steps and then yelled loudly: "It's rare that I plan to bring my brothers to celebrate together today. It's only six o'clock, so how can there be no place? ?”

At this moment, a researcher who came with Lao Huang called out, "Hey, look, isn't that Ding Jun over there?"

A few people saw a middle-aged man sitting in the corner. He was tall and handsome, but his face was always a little sad. He was already graying in his forties. Can't tell his exact age.

The other tables were full, but Ding Jun was the only person at this table. There were bowls and chopsticks and a few dishes of side dishes on the table, but Ding Jun didn't move his chopsticks.

Seeing Ding Jun, Lao Huang and the others became happy, walked over and said, "Ding Jun, why are you occupying this table?"

"I... I'll wait for my wife..." Ding Jun stood up cautiously when he saw Lao Huang.

"Your crippled wife, I haven't seen her for a while. Is the broken leg cured?" Lao Huang laughed and asked.

Ding Jun's Adam's apple squirmed, his fist clenched suddenly, but then slowly let go.

Lao Huang saw Ding Jun's expression, but he didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "Ding Jun, since your wife didn't come, it's useless for you to occupy this table. You might as well give it to us."

"That's right, Huang Gong has a big happy event today, isn't that Huang Gong?" Everyone booed.

"Of course!" Huang Gong's face was full of red, and he said loudly: "My kid started school today! Jinghang University! I just called back and said that a professor was very optimistic about him on the first day! This kid will be more promising than me in the future. !"

Jinghang University is the leading aerospace school in China. In fact, many of you here are from this school. But hearing that Lao Huang's son was so promising, the people around him gave him good-natured applause: "Gong Huang, right? We astronauts have successors!"

"That's it, that's it!" Huang Gong laughed loudly, then bowed his head to Ding Jun and said, "Ding Jun, what's the matter, you don't want to give in..."

"Today we also want to celebrate..." Ding Jun gritted his teeth, but shook his head and refused.

"What do you have to celebrate?" Huang Gong asked casually, but he didn't care about Ding Jun's answer. He sat down, took out a few dollars and threw it on the table: "I will pay for these small dishes. You, let it go, let it go."

Ding Jun gritted his teeth, looked at Huang Gong, then at the others, and finally gave way to the corner, but he did not leave after all.

Huang Gong was upset, and said: "Ding Jun, why are you so stingy? Anyway, your wife doesn't know when to come, so what can you do if you give us the table? With you like this, it's no wonder that you are worthless all your life. "

"That's right, Ding Jun, do you have any happy event to celebrate? Let it go!"

Someone next to him couldn't see it anymore, and frowned, "Why is this person like this? Why should I give up the table occupied by others?"

"You don't know?" Someone next to him lowered his voice and said, "This Ding Jun is the security guard of the security department in their office. He is a well-known softie. Anyone dares to bully him."

"You can still be a security guard just like that?" The listeners were a little unconvinced.

With the changes in the security structure, most of the security personnel are now hired by external security companies, but these industries that involve the military industry have special places, so some units retain a very small amount of security personnel belonging to their own companies , this Ding Jun is one of them.

"I don't know the details, but I heard that when Ding Jun was a soldier, he was punished and punished. After he came back, he was very angry, offended someone, and was retaliated against. His wife's legs were broken, and he was thrown into the trap. He almost lost his life. It was his wife who dragged her broken leg and couldn't kneel with the unit leader. The unit leader had no choice but to come forward to rescue him. I came out, and since then I have lost my guts and become a wimp, this is the old calendar of twenty or thirty years..."

After finishing speaking, the man added another sentence: "Oh, I don't know about this, I just heard people say it, but it's true that anyone dares to bully him in their camp." He shook his head: "Poor people, there must be something hateful, and there is no need to sympathize blindly..."

"But this is too much." The bystander also sighed, "But he has accepted it himself, so what can he do?"

"What should I do if I don't accept it? Many places are laying off staff, even the researcher is about to be laid off. He, the security guard, doesn't care about it? That Huang Gong has relatives at home, and talking is very useful..."

"If you have hands and feet, you can't have food wherever you go, why should you suffer this..."

"Hey... It's easy to say, you are a family member, do you dare to say you don't do it?"

"I...I dare not..."

The people on this side were talking in low voices, but Ding Jun on the other side was finally squeezed by several people and had no place to sit, so he stood up.

After standing up, everyone saw that this was indeed a tall man with a good skin. One could imagine that when he was young, he must have been a heroic and handsome guy, but it was a pity that he turned out to be a softie.

He stood there, Huang Gong and the others didn't let him go, and asked him: "Ding Jun, I remember your child also took the college entrance examination this year, right? How many points did you get?"

"Three... three or four hundred points..."

"Hahahaha, three or four hundred points, it's a bit embarrassing, can you go to a junior college?" Huang Gong was even more happy, "My child is 30 to 40 points higher than Jinghang University's cut-off score, you can choose your major!"

"That is, Huang Gong's family background, can it be the same?" Another compliment came from the side. As the bystander said before, this Huang Gong's words are quite effective, and one sentence may decide whether they will stay here or go. Dongbin.

"Ding Jun, let's work together. I have to help you if you have difficulties. What if your child really doesn't go to school? I can still talk to the technical college. I can't let the child go to school at such a young age. Is society wrong, what to do if you learn badly?"

Ding Jun gritted his teeth, and finally bowed his head and said, "Thank you Huang Gong."

"Well, some people can't study well, so what can they do if they don't enter the society?" One of the people at the same table pointed his finger: "Here, Ding Jun, the one who is helping is your son, so he's going to work now. You really deserve it."

Everyone looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw a young man wearing an apron, squatting in a corner skewering meat, getting up from time to time, taking barbecue skewers from Brother Space, and delivering them to each table.

There are too many guests at the moment, and the weather is hot, so I am sweating profusely.

At this time, he came over with a plate of mutton skewers, only to find that the table he had occupied had been taken by someone, and his father stood beside him awkwardly and awkwardly.

"Dad, what's going on?"

The boy was just like his father, he had a good-looking appearance, he was tall and handsome standing there, even the apron on his body did not diminish his handsomeness.

"You kid, why don't you know how to say hello to several uncles." Seeing him, Huang Gong frowned again, "Come on, it's rare to see you, sit down and chat."

"I'm sorry Huang Gong, this kid is stupid and can't chat." Ding Jun said quickly.

"How can this work?" Huang Gong shook his head and said, "In these days, those who are capable rely on their ability to eat, and those who are not capable can only rely on their mouths to eat. If the mouth is so stupid in the future, how can you mess around? Come on, sit down , let Uncle Huang teach you."

"No, I really don't know how to chat."

"You child..." Huang Gong turned his head and asked Ding Jun, "What's your child's name?"

"It's called Ding Yihui."

"Ding Yihui, your name is pretty good, and you look pretty good too...Fortunately, I didn't follow your mother, I'm not a cripple...Ding Yihui, let me tell you, these uncles and uncles of yours are very powerful people, let me say a few more words today A good word, maybe in the future I can take over your father's class and work as a security guard in our unit."

Ding Yihui remained silent.

"In the future, Mr. Huang, your son will return to our office and become the leader. It would be nice to let him drive for Da Lei."

"Yes, yes, Dalei has a bright future, he really needs a full-time driver..."

"However, Xiao Hui, even if you are a driver, you are not competent. How can you be so dull as a driver, you can't even say a word, how can the leader like you."

"I'm stupid, I can't chat." Ding Yihui said blankly.

"You have to talk if you can't talk, otherwise how will you eat in the future? People, if you don't force yourself, how will you know if you can do it?"

While talking, an electric tricycle stopped outside the barbecue stall, and a figure limped in.

"Hey, your lame mother is here." Huang Gong patted Ding Yihui on the shoulder: "Xiao Ding, quickly move a stool for your mother to sit on. Your mother can't stand with a limp."

Ding Yihui got up, moved a stool for his mother, then went back and sat down beside him, looked at the people with a smile and said, "Uncles, why don't we talk?"

"Let's talk!" Huang Gong was about to open his mouth to talk, when he heard Ding Yihui say: "I heard from my father that more than half of our office has moved to Dongbin. The uncles and uncles are so powerful, why didn't they go to Dongbin?" coast?"

Everyone was stunned, and the smiles on their faces couldn't hold back.

People are tough!

"I also heard from my dad that at least half of the people we stay behind will be cut off. Will we not see a few uncles next time?"

If it wasn't for this, who would praise Huang Gong's stinky feet? Aren't you all worried about being laid off?

But can you kid not mention this troublesome thing? Will you chat?

"Uncle Huang, my dad also said that all our institutes may be abolished. Huang Dalei studied so well and was admitted to Jinghang University. When he comes back to be a leader, what should we do if our institute is gone? Who shall I drive for?" ?”

"Uncle Huang, I also heard from my dad that you volunteered to go to Dongbin, Uncle Huang, but was kicked back by the cooperative unit, saying that you are too knowledgeable to cooperate with you. You can't go to Dongbin, we If everything is gone, what are you going to do?"

"By the way, Uncle Huang, you just said that those who are incompetent rely on their mouths to eat, but those who are capable don't eat with their mouths? Uncle Huang, you are so powerful, what do you use to eat? You don't need to eat with your mouth, maybe you use a **** ****You...you...you..." Huang Gong was so angry that his whole body trembled, he raised his hand and wanted to hit someone, but seeing Ding Yihui's physique like a little tiger, he withered again.

Ding Yihui looked at him with a smile on the other hand, and said, "Look, I said I can't chat, you have to force me."

"Xiaohui, your family is here, come and sit down here." While talking, Brother Kong Tian walked over, helped the family of three to make room for a table, and then stood in the middle of the barbecue stall, saying: "Everyone be quiet, I have a big event to celebrate today!"

Everyone looked over in wonder.

"Everyone knows Xiaohui and has helped me all summer. Today Xiaohui received the admission notice and was admitted to a private college. To celebrate this happy event, a case of beer and ten skewers of barbecue are added to each table. I'll treat!"

"What? What is there to be happy about in private colleges?" Huang Gong was very dissatisfied. His son was admitted to Jinghang University!

Then he heard brother space say: "Congratulations to student Ding Yihui for being admitted to Lazy Seminary!"

All of a sudden, the entire barbecue stand was dead silent.
