In a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, there is a food street, and restaurants, food stores, fruit shops, teahouses and so on are located on both sides of the road.
It was closing time that night, and there were no guests in the Yuelai snack bar on this street. Sister Yun, the boss, and Miss Xiao Su, the waiter, are cleaning in the lobby. It's time to close the door after work.
Just then, an elderly woman walked into the door with trepidation. She asked Xiao Su slowly, "Girl! I want to drink a bowl of soup, but I only have two yuan, ok? " Obviously, she is pleading.
In this era of high prices, where can I find a bowl of soup for two dollars? ! However, Xiao Su looked at the old man who was not younger than his grandmother, but he couldn't bear to refuse.
"The old woman a person out to drink a bowl of soup, there must be her difficulties. Just give her a bowl of egg drop soup, and wipe it yourself if you don't have enough money. " With this in mind, she shouted to the kitchen inside from the food outlet: "A bowl of egg drop soup!" " "
The soup will be served soon. When the old lady saw that the soup was full of eggs, she shook her head and waved to Xiao Su: "Girl! I just want soup, not eggs. I have two pieces. Not enough money! "
"grandma! This bowl of egg drop soup is two yuan, you can rest assured to drink it slowly! " Xiao Su explained to the old lady in a friendly way.
"alas! Your shop is still good, and there are two yuan of soup. I have been to several restaurants just now, and they all said no! " The old lady muttered while drinking soup.
The old lady finished her soup and left with satisfaction.
Xiao Su took two dollars from the old lady and three dollars from her mat, and went to the counter and gave it to Sister Yun. Who knows that Sister-in-law Yun only received the two crumpled one-dollar bills, but blocked the other three-dollar bills handed over by her hand.
Sister Yun said to her, "I really saw that scene just now. The old lady is as old as my grandmother. Why not let her drink a bowl of soup for nothing? " However, although she seems to have no money, she is conscious and self-respecting. She won't drink soup for free. I took her two pieces, so you don't have to pay for it. "
"Remember, if she comes again in the future, she will make egg drop soup for her, even if she only has one yuan!" Cloud sister-in-law thought for a moment, and then told Xiao Su.
Ah! Although this bowl of egg drop soup is inconspicuous, it is full of deep human friendship. How precious it is in today's materialistic era!
You see, a small bowl of egg drop soup embodies the true feelings of the world. Start with small things first, and start from the side.
