Everyone was silent, thirty cups of coffee, which was really not affordable for the average person. However, in a café where everyone is in the same position every day, the girl who takes the old paper cup is also strong enough.
"I told the manager about it later, I thought he would find a way to get her away. As a result, he only said one thing, ‘I didn’t see it’.
After a while, I met my schoolmate and asked the magic girl.
"The store manager later transferred his class to the evening. Sometimes he took the table and would 'by the way' to add hot water to the girl. But she didn't come to the store for a long time. Before she left, she asked the manager to buy a cup of coffee. When paying, I heard her say 'thank you during this time', she knew everything."
"What?"
This story, I saw the beginning, but did not guess the ending.
It took me many years to understand the manager. He chose to "not see" is a kind of education; he used "turning blind" to silently maintain a girl's self-respect. He makes others comfortable and makes himself feel at ease.
When the music scene in Hong Kong was still alive many years ago, the host of the mainland music station was invited to participate in the year-end music festival every year. After the meeting, there were media thank-you dinner.
After a radio sister went to Hong Kong to attend an event, he said to me: "I think Andy Lau must be evergreen."
Ask her why.
"The media dinner is a media dinner. Many stars don't come. The big coffee like Andy Lau is not only coming, but also on time. We are on time. The table number is set according to different regions. Like our mainland radio station, we will go back a few times. Table, he came to toast every table, and each of us clink glasses. I found that his time for distributing cold per table is basically the same. How can you say that such a person can't be red?"
I lamented: "Hua Tsai's emotional intelligence is really high, and everyone can cope."
My sister shook her head: "Wrong, he is well-educated. Which star doesn't know how to make good relations with the media, there are several s who can do it. He is the one who respects every person who comes to the meeting. The dinner can best test. A person’s cultivation can take care of everyone’s emotions and respect everyone. This person is really amazing."
Some people say that if you have money, you will become educated, because you are not nervous and not embarrassed, and naturally have time to take care of all aspects. I don't agree.
Parenting is a kind of gentle nature, and it is a family education with love and persistence.
There is a family of flies at the door of the house. I used to go there. It was late, it was the last table. After finishing the dishes, I saw a handsome boy coming out from the back hall and hiding in the private room. When I came out, the greasy chef's clothes were replaced with clean T-shirts, and the feet were changed. White sneakers.
Then he touched the teacup on the counter, put the chair to the door, and began to flip a worn-out novel in the shade of the street tree.
I didn’t know why at that moment and felt very good. In the restaurant after the afternoon, I saw too many unkempt people, tired at noon, wearing loose hair, mixed with heavy makeup, some wearing short rubber shoes, some wearing oily chef clothes, directly squatting on the freshly cleaned table I was lost. The young man only had a cup of tea at the door to rest and insist on changing clean clothes and shoes. He had requirements for himself, for life and for beauty. This is the educated person.
Later, I heard from the proprietress that this guy is a chef who stayed at the door because his parents were in poor health. After another two years, the boy left, this dish is becoming more and more "farmhouse", and I rarely eat it.
Only occasionally I remember the figure sitting in the shade of the trees. He has a reluctance to be unwilling to slap on the plain days. This is the most gentle education of ordinary people.
