In the afternoon, I was bothered by the noise of an electric drill, feeling dizzy and unable to stay at home. So I ran downstairs to bask in the sun. As a result, the sun and the blue sky turned out to be a "deception." There was still a strong wind blowing outside, not enough to blow me away, but enough to mess up my appearance. At this moment, an aunt passed by me, and I noticed her because she was wearing black sunglasses, which clashed with her red and green clothes, but it didn't look out of place, it was quite cool.
The aunt noticed my gaze and looked at me with a smile, saying, "Youth is good, dressed so lightly." However, she didn't know that less than ten minutes ago, I had gone out wearing stockings, ready to go to the Youth Art Festival. But as soon as I stepped out of the building, I turned around and went back home. Suddenly, I realized that I was no longer at an age where I could prioritize style over comfort.
I couldn't withstand the wind blowing against me, but I didn't want to go home either. So I decided to go to the dumpling restaurant across the street and have a bowl of piping hot dumplings. Speaking of dumplings, the ones made by people from Northeast China are fragrant and unbeatable. When I arrived at the dumpling restaurant, there was a table where people were having an intense discussion. It sounded like an argument, but the words weren't too sharp, and it sounded like a discussion, but with a hint of aggression. One of them was an employee of the restaurant, but I couldn't tell the identities of the others.
Their voices filled the restaurant, making it hard not to listen. While waiting for the dumplings, I managed to catch the gist of the situation. It seemed that this dumpling restaurant had rented out its storefront to a young couple to run a breakfast business. However, the couple had tampered with something they shouldn't have, which involved water and electricity safety, leading to the current situation. The sister wearing the employee uniform said that if something really happened, we wouldn't be able to afford the consequences even if we spent the rest of our lives. This is a matter of principle. Then they discussed compensation and solutions.
The discussion came to an end, and my dumplings finally came out of the kitchen, each one with thin skin and full filling. The argument subsided, but the situation hadn't dispersed yet. The couple running the breakfast business left, leaving only the restaurant owner and some third-party individuals. It was mentioned that the young couple was from Anhui province, with a quick temper and straightforward way of speaking, but they weren't bad people. One of the employees mentioned that their husband had worked for someone from Anhui this year. They agreed on a price for the job, but after completing the work, the person only gave them a little over 2000 yuan out of the promised 5000 yuan, and refused to pay the remaining 3000 yuan. Others commented that this was unacceptable, as it's not right to not pay after the work is done. The employee said yes, but what can they do, people from Anhui can be so bad. Another employee said that there are good and bad people everywhere, that's just how people are.
I took a bite of the dumpling, and the juice oozed out. The dumplings I made myself are really delicious.
