Time passes, year after year.
Through a quick edit, the camera quickly switches over the changes over the years on the street where the noodle shop is located.
Of course, there are bosses and boss ladies.
The boss and his wife gradually passed by as time passed, and the years also left traces on them.
The noodle shop has become lively again. The difference is that now the noodle shop has a brand new look inside and out.
Of course, the noodle shop does more than just sell noodles. Many people have made reservations for New Year’s Eve dinner here. Of course, “Yangchun noodles” have also become an indispensable dish.
The only thing that hasn't changed is probably table number two. On the happy table, a reservation sign has been placed early.
Friends who know the origin of table No. 2 said nothing, but they are thinking in their hearts that table No. 2 may have to wait in vain again this year, right?
Customers having the New Year's Eve dinner were chatting enthusiastically, drinking and enjoying the delicious food, or watching the Spring Festival Gala program and laughing from time to time.
It's still snowing outside the store, but inside it's warm as spring and bustling with people.
At this moment, several customers came outside the store. Everyone looked towards the door, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Two young men in straight suits and coats draped over their arms walked in. At this time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and with a gentle sigh, the store returned to its previous bustle.
"What a coincidence, the store is already full." The elderly proprietress said apologetically.
Just as they were rejecting the two young men, a woman wearing a brand new coat and scarf came in and stood between the two young men.
People in the store held their breaths and their ears perked up.
"Three bowls of Yangchun noodles, okay?" the woman said calmly with a smile.
Hearing this, the face of the landlady suddenly changed. The impression of the mother and son that remained in my mind more than ten years ago overlapped with the image of the three people in front of me.
The camera focuses on the mother and son, as if time has intertwined, as if they have returned to that night many years ago.
Although time has left deep marks on both mother and son, it still makes the landlady feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Even though many years have passed, the landlady still recognized the three of them, mother and son.
The landlady pointed at the three visitors, her eyes meeting those of her husband who was busy at the counter.
"Ah, ah, the head of the family..."
The sudden appearance of the mother and son from back then made the landlady feel a little at a loss for a moment.
At this time, one of the two young men spoke.
"We were the customers who had a bowl of Yangchun noodles together, mother and son, on New Year's Eve fourteen years ago. At that time, it was the encouragement of this bowl of Yangchun noodles that enabled the three of us to work together and get through the difficult years. After that, we moved to my mother’s hometown.”
"I graduated from medical school this year and am now an intern at the University Affiliated Hospital. My younger brother, who has not yet opened a noodle shop, is now working in a bank. After discussion, my younger brother and I planned the first extravagant action in our lives. Just like that, today we, mother and son, are three I came here specially to trouble you to cook three bowls of Yangchun noodles."
The boss and his wife, who were nodding while listening, had tears falling down one after another for some unknown reason.
The regular customers sitting at the table next to the door listened for a long time with a mouthful of noodles in their mouths. Only then did they swallow the noodles and stand up.
"Madam boss, why are you standing there blankly? Aren't you ready to welcome them every New Year's Eve in the past ten years? Come on, invite them to take a seat!"
The voice of the old customer woke up the proprietress.
"Quick, please take a seat!" the landlady said, turning to her husband behind the counter and shouting: "Master, three bowls of Yangchun noodles!"
"Okay, three bowls of Yangchun noodles!" The tearful husband almost lost his voice in response.
In the store, a burst of cheers and applause suddenly broke out.
The camera panned outside the store, and the snowflakes that were still flying, as if in tacit cooperation, stopped at this moment.
The short film is over.
The short film does not tell everyone dogmatically about spirituality or anything like that.
But this kind of thing that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words is extremely easy to understand.
People like Fu Guangnan were immediately silent.
What is entrepreneurship?
There is no standard answer to this kind of thing, but the short story "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" highlights many things.
At least each of them gained a heavy touch from this mediocre story.
At this moment, no one doubted whether the short film directed by Li Yi was suitable as a promotional film.
Because a film like this is amazing enough in itself.
This story is actually not complicated, but the many details contained in it are worth pondering. The most important thing is that the stories of many short films feel specious, a bit floating, and not so real.
But this story, this short film, feels so real.
"I've finished watching the movie, let's talk about it." Fu Guangnan asked on a whim with a smile.
"Ahem, let me tell you my feelings first. This short film seems to have a simple and short story, but it is really brilliant."
"First of all, my mother's courage is commendable. Three people only ordered a bowl of noodles. For ordinary people, making such a decision is difficult to talk to the boss, but for someone who has lost the backbone of the family and still owes a large debt, For them, they have to do this! This kind of courage when facing adversity is often what people lack the most."
"It's very warm and contented. My brother's words "It's so delicious" are enough to tell that he is still extremely satisfied even if it is just a bowl of clear soup and watery Yangchun noodles. Although my younger brother is small, he is still very satisfied." They are also very sensible and understand the hard work and needs of mothers, and the love between them is really heart-warming!"
"I think the details are really touching when the boss comes down. The boss only orders half an extra portion each time. When the lady boss asks if he can order three bowls of noodles directly, his answer is really rare.
It is not difficult to imagine that ordering a bowl of noodles for three people has already cost the mother a lot of courage. It also shows that what they need is not sympathy or pity, but encouragement. Everyone has their own self-esteem and the boss’s understanding People's will, moisturizing things silently.
I would like to ask if three bowls of noodles are really given, is it a kind of charity? Then maybe next year, the three of them, mother and son, will not appear again.
Because what they need is not charity! But respect! "
"I think it is the mother's strength and integrity that are most touching. Not to mention the many old people in our society. In a situation like the mother and son, even if they can't pay for the time being, no one would blame them. But the mother But he gritted his teeth and insisted on repaying the debt. In fact, for the children, it is not a kind of precepts and deeds."
