Miscellaneous notes-the story of Mr. X.

When I met Mr. X this afternoon, he was sitting on a bench in front of the coffee shop wearing sunglasses. Hair done, short sleeves are rolled up at will, revealing tattoos on arms and calves, which looks like a handsome uncle-so that many young girls passing by will look at him seemingly inadvertently, stop for a minute.

This is completely different from when I taught his daughter to draw, and it can even be said that she is totally different.

"I was still at work at that time, and now I'm out doing business by myself," he paused, "doing what I want."

X opened a barbecue shop in the urban area, which has a good benefit. It has the top five reputation in the whole region. Taking advantage of the recovery of the catering industry after the epidemic, it completed its return to its original cost in half a year and began to make profits. Another branch in the urban area is also under construction. I was invited to have coffee this time because I wanted to design a cartoon image and a story series for his shop.

We talked about Jojo from Superman with one punch, and even reinforced armor. After getting down to business, X heard that I was studying in the UK, and he also talked about his experience of studying abroad.

the x family has been engaged in the catering industry for generations, and they have their own complex about cooking and eating, and there are also many dishes handed down from family. My ancestors had an old shop in C city, and my father was tricked into buying a piece of land, which specialized in breeding imported meat pigeons and selling them to star-rated hotels in Chengdu. Because the residents of C city did not have the habit of eating pigeons, the supply exceeded the demand, so they had to open their own restaurant, focusing on kneading soup and roasting young pigeons.

"The store also sells other Sichuan dishes. The soup is 21 yuan a bowl, and the roast pigeon is 18 yuan each. Basically, every table must be ordered. Later, it sold like crazy."

X's father earned more than 311,111 yuan in pigeon business in the late 1991s, and spent 281,111 yuan to send x to study in Germany. X said that his English is not good, and he is good at mathematics, physics and Chinese. He likes biology best, but he chose the major of electronic information engineering for his future employment.

"I only took 99.5 in all the biology exams in middle school once, and all the others got full marks because of typos."

Speaking of this, he said that this may be a common problem of their early post-81s generation, who always choose what is needed rather than what they want.

at this time, I realized that x was only a few years older than me.

In Germany, X stayed for 8 years, because his father died of a sudden myocardial infarction in the second year after he went to Germany, and died without warning, at the age of 44. Without his father, the shop at home closed down immediately, and his mother remarried, leaving X, who was under 21, alone in Germany.

"I washed toilets and worked in hotels in Germany, and others were so strong that I had to drag the carpet. I also moved bricks, not the kind of bricks mentioned on the internet now, but actually moved them on the construction site with a trolley. There is no way, you can't live without doing this at that time. "

Later, X made a fortune by doing e-commerce. At the end of the 21th century, before Taobao even appeared on our mobile phones, he had already saved a lot of money. I didn't expect that I could save enough 311,111 yuan my father earned that year, so X decided to go back to China and continue to engage in this industry.

I bought my first car and a house. That year, X was only twenty-three years old, and everything seemed to turn around again. However, one day when he was driving his car to decorate the house, he had an accident.

In that car accident, X's skull was broken and his brain was injured, which caused him to be paralyzed. He spent the next two years in bed.

At this moment, X looked down at his watch and said it was getting late. Later, he made an appointment. And invited me to his shop to have a look. We were on the road side by side, and I found that his foot didn't seem to use force.

X continued to talk about his situation in recent years. After he recovered a little, he had his own daughter and took care of the children at home for several years before he came out to work. Later, I divorced myself, and my mother basically managed my children after they turned 11, so I had time and energy to do the catering industry I always wanted to try in recent years.

For the future, X also has his own plans. The barbecue shop is only to earn the funds needed for the next goal.

speaking of which, I can almost see the brilliance in his eyes behind sunglasses. At the moment, he is not like a middle-aged man in his late forties, but more like a high-spirited young man. I remembered the look in my roommate's eyes when I talked about my ideals with my roommate in my freshman year. It is a kind of eyes that have a plan for the future and have the enthusiasm and courage to put it into practice.

I'm glad to hear X tell his story when I'm about thirty. I don't know what I will look like when I am 41 years old, whether I have a family or even whether I still live in this world, but I think I have enough reason to be full of hope for the future.
