two minutes

Late one night last year, I spent 15 hours with a man with an interesting and interesting story on the long-distance train. We observed for more than 10 hours, but only talked for 2 minutes. The lights in the carriage were dim, and he did not notice that I was looking at him. I took out an old computer with a very bright screen and saw a wrinkled face in the reflected light. I opened my eyes, and the shaking made me unable to sleep deeply. I saw that he was still sitting in the original seat. I don't know what time he slept in one night, or he didn't sleep at all. He answered six calls. He talked to the other end of the phone. Reading, my ignorant son called three times and asked him to buy a mobile phone; the village cadre informed him that there was a subsidy for poverty alleviation by the state and was about to get off the bus. I talked to him about me: Uncle, where are you going? He: I went to the Zhejiang construction site to find a job as a handyman. I: Have you only had a bottle of beer from yesterday to now? Are you hungry? Him: I'm not hungry, I'm used to it... When I arrived at the station, I told him that we are fellow villagers, and my father's age should be about the same age. Pay attention to safety when you go out to work, and then handed him a bottle of water and a box of instant noodles, and I turned around. When he left, he said a word of thanks, fellow, making a fortune. This sentence made me feel very uncomfortable. How many parents live like individuals for their children, but they recommend the movie "I Am Black" for their children. The story in the movie really happened around us This movie sent my mood into the Mariana Trench in the middle of the night - 11034 meters
