“The man from the restaurant” Shmelev in brief
Over time, Yakov Sofronych realized: it all started with the suicide of Krivoy, their tenant. Before that, he quarreled with Skorokhodov and promised to inform that Kolyushka and Kirill Severyanich about politics are arguing. He, Krivoi, in the detective department serves. And he managed to poke himself out because he was thrown out from everywhere and there was nothing to live on. Just after that Kolyushkin director summoned Yakov Sofronych, and Natasha and the officer began to meet, and the apartment had to be replaced, and new tenants appeared, from which Colin’s life went to pieces.
The school demanded that the son apologize to the teacher. Only Kolyushka stood his ground: he first humiliated him and from the first class mocked, ragged calling, and not Skorokhodov, but Skomorokhov. In a word, it was ruled out six months before the end. On the misfortune, I made friends with the tenants. The poor, the young, live as a husband and wife, and not as a wedding. Suddenly they
Natalia was not happy either. I went over to the rink, became even more cocky, came late. Tcherepakhin, a lover in love with her, warned that an officer was courting her. At home there was a cry and insults were pouring down the river. The daughter spoke of an independent life. Soon the final exams, and she will live separately. She is taken to a decent department store for forty rubles. And it happened. Only she lived now, unmarried, with a man who promised to get married, but only when his grandmother, who bequeathed a million, died. Of course, he did not marry, demanded to get rid of pregnancy, committed embezzlement and sent Natasha to ask money from his father. And just then the director, Mr. Stose, notified Skorohodov’s dismissal. They are very satisfied with the restaurant, and he has been working for twenty years, knows everything and knows to the point, but… the arrest of his son, and they have a rule… They have to be fired. Especially since my son had fled the
Lusha, as she read the news from her son, began to cry, and then seized her heart and died. Jacob Sofronych was left alone. Here, however, Natalia, not listening to the roommate, gave birth to her daughter Yulia and gave it to her father. He already worked as an incoming waiter, yearning for white halls, mirrors and a respectable audience.
Of course, there were insults at the former place, there were plenty of disgraces and injustices, however, it was also a kind of art brought to perfection, and Yakov Sofronych possessed this art completely. I had to learn to keep my mouth shut. The venerable fathers of the families have planted thousands here with the girls; the respected elders brought fifteen-year-olds to the office; secretly moonlighting husband of his wife of good names. The most terrible memory was left by the offices, plush upholstered. You can scream as much as you like and call for help – no one will hear. Truly still there was Kolyushka. What is the nobility of life in our business?! On what really Karp, attached to these rooms a man – and that time could not stand and knocked on the door: so one screamed and beat.
And then here was playing at the restaurant ladies’ orchestra, consisting of strict ladies who graduated from the conservatory. There was a beauty there, thin and light, like a girl, and her eyes were big and sad. And then began to look at her commerce adviser Karasev, whose state could not be lived, because every minute it came to five rubles. He will sit in the restaurant for three hours – that’s a thousand. But the young lady does not even look, and a bouquet of roses did not accept hundreds of rubles, and she did not stay for a luxurious dinner ordered for the whole orchestra by Karasev. Yakov Sofronychu in the morning was dressed to take a bouquet to her apartment. The bouquet was accepted by the old woman. Then the very thin came out and slammed the door: “There will be no answer.” A lot of time has passed, but in the restaurant the wedding of Mr. Karasev still played. Thin from him with another millionaire overseas drove away because of the fact, that Mr. Karasev refused everything from marriage to her. So he caught up with them on an emergency train and brought them by force. Still, Kolya was found and arrested. In the letter he wrote: “Farewell, father, and forgive everything that I did.” But just before the court, twelve prisoners escaped, and Kolya with them, but escaped by a miracle. I was rescued from the pursuit and was at a dead end. Rushed to the store: “Save and do not give out.” The old man took him to the basement. Yakov Sofronych went to this man. I thanked him, but he only replied that he could not live without the Lord, but he truly said that he had opened his eyes to the world.

A month later, an unknown person came and told him that Kolyushka was safe. After that, everything began to be adjusted gradually. Summer Yakov Sofronych worked in the summer garden, ran a kitchen and a buffet at Ignaty Eliseich, from the same restaurant where he once worked. He was very pleased and promised to procure. And then the union demanded to restore illegally dismissed.
And then Yakov Sofronych again in the same restaurant for the usual business. Only children are not around.
