Ye Ming was riding his bicycle on his way home.
"When it suddenly rains heavily in your sky~"
"That's me blowing up the clouds for you~"
"When your hair is slightly messy and a gust of wind blows by~"
…
The cell phone rang. Ye Ming rode with one hand, took out his phone and looked at the notes.
"Hey? School is already over, why is this old man calling me? Oh, right, I almost forgot about this."
Answer the phone.
"Stinky boy, are you done with school yet?"
"Old man, don't you see what time it is? You should have ridden your bike back by now."
"Oh, you should have a twenty in your pocket, right? Go to Old Li and buy all the leftover vegetables from his stall today."
"Okay..."
Ye Ming replied and hung up the phone, then turned the car around and rode towards a more remote place.
…
"Grandpa Li!"
Ye Ming pushed the cart to a vegetable stall and greeted an old man with gray hair enthusiastically.
"Xiaoye is out of school."
Li Lanshan asked with a smile.
"Yes, Grandpa Li, my dad asked me to come to your place to buy vegetables."
Ye Ming parked the car and walked to the stall, and together with Li Lanshan, he packed the cucumbers and cabbages on the stall into bags.
"Grandpa Li, how much did you sell today?"
Li Lanshan thought about it while holding the cucumber.
“There are about ten or so, right?”
Li Lanshan took the scale and weighed it.
"Ten dollars."
Ye Ming took out the only twenty-yuan note in his pocket.
"Grandpa Li gives you money..."
"Ah? Xiaoye, you don't have to pay. This dish is for you..."
Li Lanshan was about to refuse Ye Ming but he stuffed the money into his pocket.
"You have to pay for what you buy. This is common sense. I've bought food from you so many times, Grandpa Li. Don't refuse."
Ye Ming stuffed the money into Li Lanshan's pocket without saying anything, then took the cucumbers and cabbages, got on his bike and left.
Li Lanshan looked at Ye Ming's back as he rode away on his bike, then looked at the twenty yuan in his hand and bowed in the direction Ye Ming left.
He was very poor and the income from selling vegetables was barely enough to feed himself.
Now many so-called experts on TV are saying that the people’s average income level is very high and that’s great.
But their talk of a high average income level is just a joke to these people struggling to survive in the dark.
Ye Ming was riding his bike home carrying a bag of vegetables. Just as he passed a trash can, he stopped.
Ye Ming looked at the trash can and soon a clean-eaten corn cob flew out of it.
A dirty tabby cat crawled out of the trash can.
Ye Ming looked at the dirty and smelly tabby cat, which looked at him cautiously, then picked up the corn cob and retreated to the trash can.
He stopped his bicycle, took out a green cucumber from a bag of vegetables and walked up to the tabby cat.
The tabby cat, who was about to gnaw on the corn cob, handed over the cucumber and looked at Ye Ming.
It was very hungry, otherwise it wouldn't have gnawed on the completely eaten corn cob.
Ye Ming picked up the corn cob and threw it into the trash can.
"Equivalent exchange, I'll trade this cucumber with you."
Ye Ming also wanted to buy a sausage for this tabby cat, but...
Looking at the tabby cat chewing on a cucumber and crying, he felt inexplicably sad.
This is how he met this tabby cat in his previous life.
But at that time, the tabby cat was gnawing on a corn cob because it was extremely hungry.
At that time, Ye Ming gave it a cucumber just like he does now.
But Ye Ming did not adopt her, but... next winter he adopted the tabby cat's kid.
Reality is more cruel than what is shown on TV.
There are countless farmers who get up early and work late to sell vegetables, but only make a dozen yuan a day.
Just like this tabby cat, there are countless cats that were so hungry that they gnawed on corn cobs, and even died of starvation.
There are also countless workers who work under the scorching sun to make a living.
There are still many people in the world who are shrouded in human suffering.
Ye Ming looked at the tabby cat and stretched out his hand to her.
"Are you willing to come with me? From now on... I will support you."
The tabby cat put down the half-eaten cucumber and looked up at Ye Ming.
She has been in the human world for so long that she can understand what Ye Ming says.
She looked at the two-legged beast in front of her, feeling its kindness, and carefully placed her front paw on Ye Ming's hand.
Is there really anyone willing to support her?
This made the tabby cat, who had been wandering since childhood, feel like he was dreaming.
"Come on, we're going home."
Ye Ming was pushing the cart, and the tabby cat was following behind. The shadows of the man and the cat overlapped in the light cast by the street lamp.
…
Ye's Chinese Medicine Clinic
This is Ye Ming's home, where traditional Chinese medicine has been passed down from his grandfather's generation.
Ye Ming parked the car next to an old wooden door behind the Chinese medicine clinic and went in carrying the vegetables.
There is a yard as soon as you enter the door. In the yard, a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean appearance who looks very trustworthy is processing a pile of things.
"Old man, what are you dealing with?"
"Don't just stand there like an idiot, you little brat! Come over here and take care of these magnolia flowers I picked up in the mountains today."
Ye Mo said unhappily.
Ye Ming put down the dishes and went forward to help deal with the flowers that were either purple or lavender.
Magnolia flowers are the dried flower buds of magnolia.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that magnolia flowers are pungent and warm in nature, and enter the lung and stomach meridians. They have the effect of dispersing wind and cold and clearing the nasal passages.
It is good at dispersing wind evil in the lung meridian and opening the nasal passages. It enters the stomach meridian and can lead the clear air in the stomach upward, treating nasal sinusitis, nasal congestion and headache.
