Midnight Bookstore Chapter 238

Early this morning, boss Zhou sat in his usual seat, the Sun, the newspaper, the coffee, ge You, the salted fish, boss Zhou’s Day began just like that. Even though he had a lot of things to do yesterday, Zhou Ze still threw them all to the back of his mind after he got up and enjoyed the vitality of his morning. Bai Yingying sat next to him, staring blankly at a pile of small pieces. She looked a little down. The old priest walked past her and glanced at her: “Is this the mirror that was blown away by Boss’s handsomeness yesterday?” When he said this, the old priest deliberately raised his voice, afraid that boss would not hear him. Bai Yingying raised her head and pouted, she held it in for a long time, she still burst out laughing. She was actually still feeling sad and sad about the mirror that had been broken yesterday. She knew that her boss didn’t have much money and didn’t have anything good. It wasn’t easy for her to get one, but before she could play with it, it had been broken by herself. The old priest also sighed and moved his mouth closer to her and whispered, “Actually, the mirror was crying because the boss was so ugly. Look at the crack. Does it look like a tear mark?” “Pa…” Zhou ze closed the newspaper in his hand. The old priest was shocked. “The newspaper said that Tongcheng is at a critical moment in the campaign for a civilized city.” “Huh?”The old priest didn’t understand, but he had a bad feeling. “Old Priest.” “Hey, here.” “Go and help. Sweep the road in front of the shop.” “…”the old man. The old man went out with a broom and a mop. Zhou Ze stood up and walked out with him. He lit a cigarette, then, he stretched. At this moment, a group of people gathered across the street. A woman was shouting and shouting loudly. Her voice was very loud and fierce. In the early morning, there was already a large crowd on south street. Naturally, a lot of onlookers gathered. The opposite side should be an internet cafe that had just opened. Boss Zhou held a cigarette and slowly walked over. From his back view, he looked like a lazy man who liked to shop around all day without any serious business. “My Son didn’t do well in his mid-term exams. The teacher even looked for our parents and said that he hasn’t been concentrating in class recently. I was still puzzled. Well, I caught him today! He even told me to go to school early for morning reading. So he went to the internet cafe to play games! God damn it, who invented the game! Why didn’t the country arrest all these damn people who made games and opened internet cafes, isn’t this deliberately destroying our children! What does the child know, he plays games whenever he has them, he plays games whenever he thinks it’s fun, this thing is like a drug addiction, the child has no idea!” The middle-aged woman kept shouting at the top of her lungs. In front of him stood a young man in a blue shirt. The young man wore black-rimmed glasses and was very gentle. When the woman spoke, he stood in front of her with a smile. He did not refute or shout. Beside the two of them, there was a young man with disheveled hair who looked like a high school student. He had his head down and his cheeks were burning. He obviously felt ashamed that his mother was shouting like this in front of so many people. The woman said that she was tired, she finally stopped, it could be considered an intermission. The cultured young man finally found an opportunity to interrupt. He said very calmly, “Ma’am, if you want to educate your son, you can bring him home or bring him back to school to slowly educate him with the teachers. “We are an internet cafe, a place for business. Your noise here has already affected our normal business.” “PFFT! You still have the nerve to open for business!”! “You Internet cafe owners, none of you are good. All of you are scamming children for money.”. “Everyone, please be reasonable. I just went inside to take a look. All of them are people who play games. All of them are staring at the screen very carefully. “There are also some who have oily faces. One look and you can tell that they have played all night. They don’t go to work or school. They only focus on playing games! If their parents saw them like this.., how much their hearts would ache!” “Madam, your son is already an adult. If he wants to go online, we can’t stop him…” “What nonsense about an adult? My Son is still a student. Next year, he will be taking the college entrance exam!”! I was wondering why my son’s grades had dropped, so it was all because of this game, “It’s all because of this internet cafe! “The government should have shut down all the companies that make games. They’re just bringing bad things to the children and making us parents worry!” The woman was still shouting. The cultured man reached out to touch his glasses, shook his head, took out his cell phone, and prepared to make a call. “What do you mean? I’m trying to reason with you! You want to call someone, don’t you? You want to play Triad Against Me, Don’t you? You tricked my child, made my child addicted to games, and made his learning decline, you still dare to call someone to hit me? Let me tell you, I’m not scared. I’m also a local. Let me see if you dare to call someone to hit me!” “I’ll call the police.” “Call the police?”The woman was stunned. “You’re affecting my normal business.” “Get Lost, you have no face!”The woman raised her hand and directly hit him. With a “PA”sound, the gentle man’s cell phone was knocked down by the woman and fell to the ground. The cell phone just happened to roll in front of Zhou Ze. “You still want to call the police? My child won’t be able to get into a good university next year because of a dog like you who runs an internet cafe. I still want to call the police!”! Everyone, please judge, is it easy for us parents? To feed our children, to dress our children, to send them to school. Who doesn’t want their children to become successful? Who doesn’t want their children to get into a good university. But it’s these bastards who make games, and these black-hearted people who run internet cafes, who want to earn these black-hearted money from their children, they were destroying the children! Oh My God.., save the children.., these damn games…” At this moment, a young girl walked out from behind the man. She should be an employee of this internet cafe. She first walked in front of Zhou Ze and squatted down to pick up the phone. Then, she pointed at the woman’s nose and started typing: “Save the children? You still have the face to mention it? Your Own Child Can’t be taught well, your own child can’t be taught well, your own child can’t be taught well, and you still have the face to blame games on him. You still have the face to blame the Internet cafe owner? Your child is a retard. His addiction to games means that he is a retard, a retard, which means that you are a retard’s parent! Damn it, i still have to shout, save the games, control these retard children! Control your retard parents! We adults want to play a game, the blood can’t be red, it has to be green, the violent and bloody scenes have to be cut, because it affects minors! Minors steal money, Rob Things, it’s all the game’s fault, so the world is full of good people, right? It’s all because of the game, right? Don’t always try to shirk responsibility. In this society, there are all kinds of people. If someone can do well, naturally someone has to be at the bottom. Why aren’t others addicted to the game? Why are others able to do well in their studies? They only know how to give birth to dogs that don’t know how to raise, they only know how to push the responsibility onto other people, you Don’t know how to bring or not know how to teach why you didn’t wear a condom when you were having fun!” The woman was stunned on the spot, many onlookers were still cheering after hearing the girl’s sharp counterattack. This made the woman even more unable to stand it. She directly rushed up and started to fight with the girl. “You Little Prodigal, I told you to scold me, I told you to Scold Me!” The two women fought together and were quickly pulled apart by the onlookers. Many people began to advise the woman to let the child go to school first. Stop fooling around. The woman’s imposing manner was also weakened by the girl’s previous scolding. After leaving a few harsh words, she pulled her son and left. Zhou Ze followed the woman for some distance. When the woman sent the child to the bus stop, he took the opportunity when the woman was still scolding her son. He walked over to the woman and reached out his hand to brush the woman’s hair. The woman turned around and glanced at Zhou Ze. She probably felt that Zhou Ze was dressed rather well and didn’t look like a pervert who was taking advantage of others. She pretended that she didn’t pay attention to him and turned around to continue scolding her son when the bus didn’t arrive. Zhou Ze walked back to the internet cafe unsteadily. There was no one at the entrance of the Internet cafe and business resumed as usual. Zhou Ze walked up, the environment of this internet cafe was really good. The machines were also very new, so even if it was early in the morning, there were still quite a few customers inside. The cultured man was applying medicine to the girl’s neck. He must have been scratched during the scuffle just now. The girl was still very indignant as she said something to the cultured boss, but the cultured man just smiled casually and scratched the girl’s nose with his fingers. The girl pouted and turned her head. When she saw Zhou Ze, she immediately asked, “Good morning. May I See Your ID card, sir?” “I’m not here to surf the Internet.”Zhou ze stretched his hand on the counter and looked at the girl. The girl frowned slightly. Apparently, she thought Zhou Ze was a hooligan. At this time, the cultured boss came over with tea. When he saw Zhou Ze, he was stunned for a moment and said, “Sir, what can I do for You?” “Actually, when we were arguing just now, I was quite supportive of you guys,”Zhou Ze said. “Hehe, I’m sorry, sir. It’s all in the past,”the cultured man said. “I’m the bookseller across the street. Seven or eight years ago, when I sold novels and opened an Internet cafe, I received the same treatment as you guys. All the parents thought that I was the culprit who led their children astray. “Times are changing, society is changing, and many ancient cultures have been lost, “But the level of shirking responsibility of generations of parents.., has been completely passed down.” “Since you’re neighbors, then come inside. I’ll treat you to tea, sir,”the cultured man said enthusiastically. Zhou ze raised his hand, indicating that he was not busy, then, Zhou Ze placed a small black bug under his fingernails on the bar counter. The bug looked like it was dying, like a maggot, but its body was colorful. He pointed at the bug, zhou ze asked slowly, “Sympathy is sympathy, understanding is understanding, i don’t like that woman either, but to let her die like this.., isn’t that a little too much?”
