The sudden popularity of "dating"
Last week, a love noodle restaurant named "Mutual Help House" opened in a hurry in Wujin Hutang. Because the address is remote and there are no eye-catching signs, there are not many people in the store after the opening, and the business is a bit deserted. However, from the evening of 25th, the "painting style" of this noodle restaurant suddenly changed. ...
Friends circle information, cold noodle restaurant suddenly flooded with diners.
The night before yesterday, a "brave father! He won't donate money, you just have to eat noodles to help him! " Wechat has exploded Changzhou's circle of friends. Chen, the noodle shop owner, spent all his savings on the medical care of his youngest son, but refused foreign donations. He had to support himself and came to Changzhou to open a noodle restaurant. Many Changzhou citizens who saw this news are going to try it.
Yesterday morning, Chen Le was a little confused. A large group of people suddenly came to his noodle restaurant, waiting in line to eat noodles.
"I saw this news in a circle of friends and sent it to my family for the first time. Then several aunts immediately made an appointment to try it today. " Ms. Zhu told the Yangzi Evening News reporter that she usually tries not to drive. "I also worked hard to go to this love noodle restaurant this time. I drove with several aunts for more than ten kilometers and finally found this noodle restaurant. "
Ms. Zhu told reporters that a group of four people ordered four bowls of noodles and spent more than 50 yuan. "Red noodle soup tastes refreshing and the price is good." I heard that Chen did not accept the donation. After paying 60 yuan, Ms. Zhu "escaped" from the noodle restaurant with her aunts and changed a few dollars. She doesn't want it at all.
"I am busy today, and I plan to take my employees to eat tomorrow." Enthusiastic Mr. Chen, after hearing about Chen, said that he would ask more than a dozen employees of the unit to taste Chen's face.
There were too many guests to catch up with the handmade noodles, and the noodle restaurant was once closed.
In fact, on the evening of 25th, the sudden increase of diners caught Chen Le off guard. The toppings prepared in advance in the noodle restaurant are limited, and they are quickly consumed, so guests can only eat red noodle soup. Even so, nobody cares.
Yesterday morning, the hot scene was staged again, and the queue was longer. Chen has been busy since 5 o'clock in the morning and has never stopped. A guest who ate noodles didn't have time to look at his handmade noodles, so he specially sent 100 Jin of fine noodles.
Yesterday morning 10, there was another episode in the noodle restaurant-"Closed!" Ms. Zhou, a citizen, rushed to the noodle restaurant and ate a "closed door". However, the words on the whiteboard standing at the door made her feel unhappy and added a little respect: "First of all, thank you for your love. The sudden passenger flow far exceeded our expectations. I want to show you the original handmade noodles, so I am temporarily closed. "
"Come back in the evening, the boss is too honest and frank!" Many unscrupulous citizens have not forgotten to praise Chen in the circle of friends.
The boss of the story
In just two days, it suddenly turned from cold to hot. This "mutual help house" noodle restaurant is a bit "unusual". In-depth interview with Yangzi Evening News reporter found that "unusual" is not the feature of noodle restaurant, but the family of noodle restaurant owner has an "unusual" story.
The two-year-old son was diagnosed with autism and spent all his savings to see a doctor.
Chen, 3 1 year-old, is from Suzhou, Anhui, his wife is from Wuhu, Anhui, and his son is now two years old. Chen told reporters: "In the second half of last year, when my son 13 months old, they found that his son was somewhat abnormal, and even sitting and standing became a problem. After examination, he was diagnosed as mild autism by doctors. "
Because he often took his son to see a doctor, Chen took three days off at both ends, and his work unit was very embarrassed. So far, Chen has changed jobs four times and been fired three times.
"The doctor said that if the treatment is timely, my son can go to kindergarten normally in two or three years. I want to make money to treat my son quickly." Chen said, but every time the moonlight fee is six or seven thousand, he feels "under great pressure" and all his savings at home have been spent, and Chen still owes 50 thousand yuan in foreign debt.
In order to raise money, Chen sells water at the subway entrance in Nanjing. At that time, he wrote a paragraph to the effect of "selling water to treat his two-year-old son". The result was mistaken for a liar by passers-by, and only 30 bottles of mineral water were sold in 4 days.
Rejecting the donation, he used his skills to open a noodle restaurant and earn his own living.
Although he needs money, Chen has always stayed away from donations. In his view, it is the proper meaning of a father to treat his children by himself. At the end of last year, a "charity fundraising" organization in Qingdao said that it could help Chen raise 654.38 million yuan of charity money, but Chen refused. He said that when he was at the end of his tether, other people's money was uneasy in his pocket. In addition, the hospital said before that it could apply for a subsidy from the local civil affairs department with the medical certificate, with an annual subsidy of 1.2 million yuan, but Chen did not do so. He doesn't want his son to be identified as disabled, and he firmly believes that his son's illness will be cured.
Chen Le is a welder and a cook. By chance, Luo Anqin, director of the Volunteer Department of the Standing Committee of the Anhui Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, heard about Chen and knew that he had the skill of making noodles. He hoped that he would come to Changzhou and provide him with a free venue for dining. Luo Anqin also mentioned fundraising, but Chen said that he is still young and needs to earn money on his own to help his children see a doctor. "I met this idea for the first time in so many years, and I decided to help him!"
The idea of opening a noodle restaurant gave Chen hope. After sending his wife and children back to their hometown, he returned to Changzhou to discuss the opening of a noodle restaurant with the help of volunteers.
Face to face with honest and frank people
"I hope everyone will recognize my craft, not because I have encountered difficulties."
At three o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the reporter of Yangzi Evening News rushed to this love noodle restaurant, many guests were already sitting in the shop to eat noodles. Seeing the arrival of the reporter, two customers sitting there chatting greeted the boss: "Are you here to eat noodles, too?"? Come on, come on, sit here, we're done. " As they spoke, they brought out the noodles and bowls they had eaten. Compared with the enthusiastic guests, Chen Le seems a bit dull. When someone passes by, he will smile and say hello: "Does the boss eat noodles?" Besides, there are not many words.
After learning the identity of reporter Chen, I was still very shy. Some customers advised him to be interviewed first. Noodles were not urgent, but he didn't dare to relax his work at all and could only chat with reporters at will.
"I'm actually quite nervous to see so many people coming to eat noodles these two days. I hope that everyone can recognize my skills when they come here, not just because I am in trouble. " In the interview, he told reporters that he had long planned to open a noodle restaurant, but he happened to meet a child before coming to Changzhou. "I originally planned to open a noodle restaurant in Wuhu or Nanjing, but after the media reported, the volunteer organization in Changzhou contacted me and provided the venue for free, so I chose to come to Changzhou." Chen said that the enthusiasm of caring people in Changzhou in the past two days greatly exceeded his expectations and even made him a little scared. "I will try to make a bowl of good noodles, which is worth visiting!"
At present, Changzhou Civilization Office has coordinated relevant departments and social organizations, and arranged nearby institutions and teachers to carry out rehabilitation education for Chen's children.
notes
Self-reliance brings love Libra back to balance.
Different from many previous love donation events, although Chen and Changzhou citizens stood at both ends of the love balance, this balance has always maintained a balance because of its self-reliance weight.
During the whole interview, all the diners seemed to choose the big stuttering noodles without asking questions. Chen Lecai just buried herself in her work and didn't tell her story like Sister Xianglin. In the face of other people's donations, Chen chose to decline, and the caring people also "wisely" did not cater to them at the scene, but mostly expressed their wishes in the form of "don't give change".
In Chen, everyone saw a self-improving young man and an indomitable father. As an interviewed Changzhou citizen said: I didn't come to offer love, because I ate this bowl of noodles, and he and I are completely equal. "It doesn't matter where to eat, it is nothing more than a bowl of noodles. I chose to come here and praise him with this bowl of noodles. "
"I hope everyone here will recognize my skills, not just because I have encountered difficulties."
"It doesn't matter where to eat, it is nothing more than a bowl of noodles. I chose to come here and praise him with this bowl of noodles. "
In these two sentences, I want to praise the honest and frank citizens of Chen Man and Changzhou!
