1307 1290. Going Homeless (1/5)

Chapter 1307 1290. Helpless to wander (15)

As an aside, is there a charge for the single chapter testimonial last night? Damn it, I posted it directly after I finished writing it, and I didn’t check it. ****

Wang Bo handed the old man a glass of wine, the two clinked glasses, and he said with emotion: "Come on, let's toast this son of a bitch's life."

The old man clinked glasses with him, took a sip of the wine, closed his eyes and leaned against the tree intoxicated. After half a minute, he sighed slowly and said in a low voice, "Good wine."

Wang Bo couldn't drink the beauty of shochu, but the old man seemed to be a person who knew how to live. His sense of enjoyment when tasting wine also affected Lao Wang, so he felt that the wine in the glass was better than before.

When drinking the first glass of wine, the old man didn't say anything, just sipped it lightly and tasted it.

But Wang Bo, who was sitting next to him, was not bored. He watched the changes in the old man's expression and his attitude of enjoying the wine with great interest, as if he was reading a story.

When he finished his first glass, Wang Bo poured him another drink.

The old man shook his head and said, "It would be a pity to drink such a good wine too quickly, why don't you tell a story, kind-hearted young man, you seem to be dissatisfied with life?"

Wang Bo said in surprise: "No, I love life, and I think life is wonderful."

The old man looked at him strangely and said, "Then why did you say 'respect the life of a son of a bitch' just now? It's very strange, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Wang Bo laughed loudly, and said: "Oh, you misunderstood me, I was just so emotional at the time. I just became a father recently, and the child is really tossing, which makes me feel tired sometimes, so I bear it Can't stop saying that."

The old man also laughed, and he put his arms around the kitten and said: "So that's the case, then I should congratulate you, young man, you have entered a new living environment when you become a father, experience it well, remember these feelings, and wait until you come to my place." Age, you will miss it."

Wang Bo shook his head and said: "Maybe, I would like to miss it when the time comes, but now I don't want to experience it more seriously, otherwise I think I will die!"

"Is it annoying to death?"

Wang Bo laughed, and he motioned to pour wine for the old man again.

The old man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I am very grateful for your generosity, but I don't want to waste the wine like this, can you pour me some for me to drink tomorrow?"

Wang Bodao: "Old man, why wait until tomorrow? There is a saying in China that one must enjoy life to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon! Come on, since you like this good wine, you can drink as much as you want at once!"

The old man muttered his words thoughtfully, with an unprecedentedly cheerful smile on his face, which was full of wrinkles.

He handed the cup to Wang Bo and said, "You are right, your attitude towards life needs me to learn, obviously I am not open-minded enough."

Wang Bo felt that he was self-effacing. Homeless people in New Zealand have an open-minded attitude towards life. This old man obviously has a unique view of life when he is still homeless at such an age.

New Zealand's welfare is second to none among countries in the world. No matter what the situation is, it is very difficult for people to be poor and homeless.

Get ill? Don't be afraid, New Zealand's universal medical care is free.

no job? Don't be afraid, the government can issue subsidies on a regular basis.

Even homeless people are provided with living allowances, and the government also manages food and housing. Many cities have built loving apartments for homeless people. They don’t even have to pay water and electricity bills to live in apartments. The government has someone to take care of the lawn and garbage.

Of course, in this case, it is impossible to live a good life, as long as you can't starve to death or freeze to death.

Under such circumstances, there are still homeless people in New Zealand. There are many reasons for becoming homeless. Some people are gambling, lose all their money, and have nowhere to go, so they go homeless to find salvation.

Some people are good wine. They don't enjoy good wine, but drink too much. They wander around New Zealand in a daze, and become outdated products of society.

Judging from the attitude of the old man towards alcohol, we can know that he is a good drinker, but he is definitely not an alcoholic. An alcoholic homeless man can't control his will at all. When he sees alcohol, he keeps drinking until he is drunk on the ground.

There are also some homeless people who are interesting, such as bankrupt small traders, students who cannot stand the pressure of studies, artists who are underappreciated, philosophers who pursue the true meaning of life, and so on.

Being a homeless person in New Zealand is not hard work. There are picturesque places in this country, and the governments of various places will continue to organize charity activities to distribute food, clothes, money, etc. to them on a regular basis.

Some people wandering simply like this kind of life of being out of the way and carefree, but in Wang Bo's view, this is a way of life that is irresponsible to life and family.

There have been homeless people in Sunset Town, but he couldn't see why the old man was homeless.

While drinking, the old man seemed to have guessed his doubts, so he smiled and said, "Do you wonder why I wander? Yes, I am a tramp."

Wang Bo said: "You are different from ordinary homeless people, so I guess you may be an artist or a philosopher."

The old man shook his head, and he asked, "What do you think is different about me?"

Pointing to the cat in his arms, Wang Bo said, "Your clothes are clean, and the cat's fur is also clean. Obviously you love life. This is the biggest difference."

The old man took a sip of his wine slowly and said, "You have wine, I have stories, if it won't waste your time, would you like to listen to it?"

Wang Bodao: "Let's talk about it first."

The old man put his arms around the cat and said: "I won't introduce myself, the name is a meaningless code name. The reason why I wandered in New Zealand was to find my child."

"I've been a nomad for 30 years. It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say I've been to every corner of New Zealand, but it's also true."

Wang Bo frowned immediately: "Your child is lost? Why didn't you call the police?"

The old man smiled and said: "Yes, my child is lost, why didn't I call the police? But thirty years ago, the police force was not as abundant as it is now, and there were no monitors, and even computers did not complete the work of networking."

"The child was lost, was it stolen? Or was he lost? Or was he murdered? I don't know. I have sought help from the police, newspapers and television, but nothing worked."

"Then I thought, I've done something wrong and I've got to atone for it, so I resigned, left school and started roaming around New Zealand looking for my kids."

Wang Bo asked again: "Then why don't you bring his photo?"

The old man laughed and said, "Good boy, if my child grows up healthy and he is even bigger than you, then what's the use of me taking his photo?"

As he said that, he became a little sentimental: "I don't even know what he looks like now. I can only see his face clearly in my dreams, but when I wake up, there is nothing."
