Chapter 121 The Good Man
The little girl looks to be three or four years old, with two ponytails, her little hands are as white and tender as lotus roots, her face is red, especially her big black and bright eyes, which are like a clear river, she is indescribably cute.
.
"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat that chocolate bean!"
The little girl pulled the old man's clothes and begged pitifully.
The old man caressed the other person's little head lovingly and coaxed: "Xiao Xiaoxiao, didn't we agree that we would use the remaining money for my brother to study. When my brother graduates and makes money, he can buy you a lot of chocolate beans.
eat."
"But it will be several years before my brother graduates. Xiaoxiao is hungry now!"
Xiaoxiao sucked her chubby fingers and looked up at the pack of chocolate beans on the shelf with the faces of Pleasant Goat and Gray Taro. It was obvious that she really wanted to eat that pack of chocolate beans.
"Xiaoxiaobao, when grandma earns thirty yuan today, can I give you this bag of chocolate beans?"
The old man coaxed the little girl lovingly.
"Then when will grandma earn enough thirty yuan? It seems that uncle is the customer who came today."
He smiled and tilted his head to look at the old man and asked in a childish voice.
When Shen Jiwen heard this, he felt a little sad in his heart. What kind of family is this? An old man in his seventies is still busy working here, and he is reluctant to give his granddaughter even a pack of chocolate beans.
According to the old lady, she can only earn about thirty yuan a day on average. In a big city like Kyoto, which is a first-tier city in the country, it is difficult to earn even the minimum living security for thirty yuan a day. According to her, she still needs to provide for her grandson to study.
One can imagine how difficult life is.
At this moment, a scrawny old beggar in ragged clothes came to the door, holding a broken bowl with several mouths missing, and said feebly: "Okay... okay..."
The beggar stumbled on his feet and almost fell to the ground. Shen Jiwen could tell at a glance that the beggar was hungry because he had not been able to have a full meal for a long time. He immediately supported the beggar and slowly sat down on the threshold.
The old lady smiled apologetically at Shen Jiwen: "Wait a moment, I'll give you the change right away!"
After saying that, she turned around and entered the back room. When she came out, she was holding a bowl of hot water in one hand and two large steamed buns in the other hand. She also took two packs of mustard from the shelf and stuffed them into the old beggar's hand.
, said sympathetically: "Don't dislike it, eat it quickly! If it's not enough, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, thank you kindhearted person."
After saying a few words, the old beggar squatted at the door, holding the steamed bun in his dirty hands, and ate it in big mouthfuls, mumbling words of thanks in his mouth.
"Who doesn't have difficulties yet? It's not easy for you at your age, ugh~~"
The old man sighed, took out ten pieces of change from his pocket, and put it into the old beggar's hand.
The old beggar looked at the large amount of change, and tears suddenly flowed down his face. He swallowed the buns in his mouth and bowed deeply to the old man before leaving.
The old lady's kind deed touched the softest place in Shen Jiwen's heart. Maybe ten yuan was too little, but for an old man who couldn't even earn thirty yuan a day, he couldn't even bear to give his granddaughter a pack of chocolate beans.
For the elderly, it is not easy to do this.
Shen Jiwen was in awe of this old man in his heart.
"Oh, look, I was so busy that I forgot to give you change! Here, here is your fifty yuan, count it carefully!"
The old lady neatly arranged the five crumpled ten-dollar bills and handed them to Shen Jiwen's hand.
Shen Jiwen didn't take the money. He looked at the cute smile next to him. He was still sucking his fingers and looking at the bag of chocolate beans eagerly. He felt sour in his heart and said, "Grandma, give me five." Pack these chocolate beans and use the remaining money to buy Cocoa drinks!"
When the old man heard that the other party wanted to buy something, he was naturally very happy. He quickly packed up five packs of chocolate beans and a bunch of cocoa drinks, handed them to Shen Jiwen, and said with a smile: "These are your things, take them." , a pack of chocolate beans costs three yuan and a half, and a bottle of cocoa drinks costs five yuan. These are fifteen bottles, a total of ninety-seven yuan and a half, and here are your two yuan and a half."
The old man calculated the accounts quickly and handed the two yuan and fifty cents to Shen Jiwen.
Xiaoxiao looked longingly at the five packs of chocolate beans in Shen Jiwen's hand, clinging tightly to the old man's side, with eyes that were both eager and a little timid.
"Come on, Xiaoxiao. This is given to you by your uncle, take it!"
Shen Jiwen smiled and handed the five packs of chocolate beans to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao was about to reach out and take it, but suddenly seemed to remember something. She looked at the old man, shook her head and said, "Grandma said, you can't just ask for other people's things. It's rude!"
Xiaoxiao's childish voice sounded, but the longing in his eyes became even stronger.
Shen Jiwen knelt down, touched the other person's little head, and said, "This is not what you asked for. My uncle gave it to you voluntarily. Take it."
"Young man, I see that you are also a kind-hearted person. I appreciate your kindness, but you bought this thing, we must not accept it!"
At this time the old man spoke.
Shen Jiwen stood up and said with a smile: "Grandma, I am sincere. Of course, if you don't like this, you can throw these five bags of chocolate beans into the trash can after I leave."
After saying that, Shen Jiwen walked out of the store carrying a bag of Cocoa drinks.
"I still have two dollars and fifty cents for you!"
"Just put it away for now and use it later when you come to buy something."
Just when Shen Jiwen had just walked out of the door, he suddenly saw two young men dressed in a fashionable manner, one with red hair and one with yellow hair, walking towards the store. Looking at their menacing looks, they knew they were coming with bad intentions. .
"Grandma, grandma, the bad guys are here again. I'm afraid!"
Xiaoxiao's fearful voice came from the store.
"Old woman, are you ready with the money? Damn it, today is the last day."
Before anyone even entered the store, the two of them started shouting, just like the rent-collecting landlords in feudal society.
"I just gave it to you last month, why do you still want it?"
The old man held Xiaoxiao tightly in his arms and said coldly.
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked into the store. Before entering, the young man with red hair thought Shen Jiwen was in the way and pushed him sideways.
"Don't be verbose, last month is last month and has nothing to do with this month. If we don't hand over the money today, we will have to move things!"
"We've given all our money to you. We can't even pay for my brother's tuition. Ugh...you bad guys."
Xiaoxiao said while crying.
At this time, the old man's angry voice also came out.
"You are so bullying. Why do you charge us protection fees? You are so lawless. If you don't leave, I...I will call the police!"
The old man was angry at the sound.
"Hahahaha, whatever you want, the chief of the police station here is my eldest brother's uncle. Damn old woman, stubborn and stubborn, skinny monkey, do it!"
After saying that, I heard a pinging sound coming from inside, mixed with the sounds of laughter and crying.
"You...you stop..."
"Grandma...grandma...bad guy, don't hit my grandma!"
The sounds of laughter and laughter could be heard.
Inside, the yellow-haired young man known as the Skinny Monkey walked out carrying four boxes of oatmeal, and the red-haired man behind him also carried two boxes of Laobaigan.
As he walked, he cursed.
"Damn, I don't even have anything valuable, I'm really poor."
"Put down what you are holding!"
