In a small village, the sun is particularly bright, the window of the cabin through a light, iron egg looked to the beam of light, suddenly, he saw a familiar figure coming to his cabin.

"Eh? That's... Why does his shadow look so much like his cousin? ... Is it a cousin? ... But he didn't tell me he was coming back, did he? ... Isn't it? ..." Whew... A gust of wind blew, with the wind came a familiar voice "Hi, iron egg, I'm back!" "Well, this is the voice of cousin" iron egg excitedly ran out, ran to cousin, cousin took the iron egg back to the cabin, cousin said: "Iron egg happy?" Iron egg excitedly said: "Cousin, you finally come back!" "This time, I can stay for three months and be with you again!" "Really good, cousin four years not see, you grow a lot, and your hairstyle and your looks I can hardly recognize!" "Iron egg said excitedly. "Eh? You even forget me. "" No, no, no, cousin, how are you doing there?" "I'm fine, and you?" Iron egg said: "I am not bad"...

At this time to cousin pouring water iron eggs did not pay much attention to, was hot boiling water hot bubble, mind suddenly appeared strong white light, and then open your eyes, cousin is not...... The iron egg desperately shouted to "cousin! Cousin! Where are you?"

The sound dissipated with the wind, in fact, the iron egg knew that his cousin would never come back, because as early as four years ago he was killed in the process of a mission.

Iron's cousin. He's a good cop.

A glass of milk and a piece of bread

Clatter... Autumn is cold, and when it rains, it cools.

The streets were very cold, and the usual excitement seemed to be diluted by the rain. At this time, the street side wearing thin, running in the rain attracted the attention of the shop owner. She came for an interview, but it happened to rain.

She was quite poor in the rain. She trotted into the shop, which was not very big. The boss was a middle-aged woman, but her mouth was not very kind.

The girl patted the water on her body and asked the boss with some embarrassment, "The boss... But can you buy me a loaf of bread?"

"Sure, which one do you want?" "The boss said without thinking.

The girl pointed to a piece of bread and asked, "How much is this?"

"This? Fifteen for a little girl. Give me ten." The boss answered with a glance.

The girl felt in her pocket and pulled out seven dollars. "Old boss, I don't have that much money..." She lowered her head and blushed, and whispered.

The boss immediately threw everything on the table. "Oh! You little girl, you want it for nothing! No money to buy anything! Go away, go away, go away." The boss pushed the girl out of the door, and as he pushed her, he muttered, "Who is that? I have no money to buy any bread.

"All right, all right, I'll go." The girl was embarrassed.

After the girl, quickly to the interview company run, arrived, explained the purpose, soon smoothly into the meeting room, the girl shook the water on the body, and then nervously handed the resume to the interviewer, "Hello, my name is Gu Nuan, this is my resume."

"Well, you sit down." The interviewers passed each other under the resume, looked at a few eyes and opened his mouth "you were admitted, tomorrow to work is good" afraid Gu warm does not understand, also specially explained "is this, there were a few people interview, but because of the heavy rain did not come, all aspects of you also meet the requirements, I hope you can maintain your attitude later.

"All right! Thank you!" He stood up and made a 90-degree bow

After coming out, she went to the shop "that, the boss."

"Oh, why are you here again?" The boss was surprised.

"Do you have any bread that's about to expire? Can you sell it to me at a low price?" With a little trepidation, she thought, "Tut, I brought this on myself... What would she say? Alas... You're not going to get kicked out again... The boss doesn't seem very easy..." The boss's voice pulled her mind back.

"All right, there you go." The boss relented a little, after all, he had a daughter.

"Thank you! Gave the money to the boss and called. "Hello? Dad, did you get the $20,000 I gave you? HMMM... A birthday? But I'm eating. I'm having a big dinner with my friends. Okay, bye."

The boss knew that the girl had dialed all the money to her father. It was unbearable. The boss murmured: "Also a filial girl, poor child yo." She took a bottle of milk to Gu warm "soon expired, throw strange pity, cheap you."

One side count the number of uncle some doubts "alas? Didn't I just ship this in? How come it's about to expire?"

"Why so much talk? Have you worked out the books? Do you have time to answer?"

Gu Nuan smiled, very warm, very pure.

Many years later, Gu Nuan became a famous surgeon. Once, she received a special patient. Yes, it was the boss whose bark was worse than his bite.

Recovering from a serious illness, a woman knows that such a big operation must be expensive. But when she opened the bill, she froze... A simple line on the bill read: "Fee = glass of milk, loaf of bread."
