Li Juan was looking at her cell phone. When she heard someone calling Tang Xiaobao's name, she quickly looked up, stood up excitedly, and immediately jumped outside to greet him.
“Mr. Tang, Mr. Shen!”
Li Juan was very excited and looked at the two of them with excitement, but for a moment she was so restrained that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
"Haha, hello, Li Juan."
Tang Xiaobao greeted with a smile.
"Mr. Tang still remembers me?"
This time, Li Juan was surprised. She thought Tang Xiaobao had forgotten her long ago and was still thinking about how to introduce herself. Unexpectedly, Tang Xiaobao called out her name right away.
"Mr. Tang has been thinking about you. We happened to be passing by, so we came to see you. It can be regarded as a return visit."
Shen Mengyao smiled.
Li Juan was so excited that her face turned red and she didn't know what to say.
"By the way, have you taken the exam this year?"
Tang Xiaobao asked.
Li Juan nodded repeatedly: "I took the test, I took the test."
"Mr. Tang, Juanzi scored over 680 points in the exam this year, ranking third in science in Bazhong City."
Someone nearby shouted.
"Yes, Juanzi is the pride of our group."
"Someone from the newspaper came to interview her a few days ago."
"She even applied to Yenching University, but I don't know if she was accepted."
Everyone was talking at once.
Tang Xiaobao also smiled, feeling very relieved. He patted Juanzi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That's great. Keep it up."
"Mr. Tang, who would dare to call you impressive in front of me? You scored over 700 points in the exam that year."
"This can't be compared with Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang is so amazing."
"Yes, Mr. Tang is a genius. There is no comparison."
Everyone started praising Tang Xiaobao again.
The vegetable market suddenly became lively.
Tang Xiaobao was embarrassed and asked Li Juan, "Did your notice arrive?"
Li Juan suddenly became depressed and said sadly, "I applied to Yanda University, but they didn't accept me."
"Ah, not enough points?"
"My score was enough, but it was only five points above the mark. I guess they recorded from top to bottom and lost me." Li Juan said with some self-blame, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't stayed up late that night, I wouldn't have felt dizzy the next day, and my performance wouldn't have been affected. I would definitely have gotten in."
sweat.
I felt dizzy, which affected my performance, but I still scored over 680.
This girl is quite amazing.
"Yes, this matter really is your fault. The exam is the next day, and you were still selling vegetables the day before. You are such a pity, kid."
"You can't blame Juanzi entirely. If her father hadn't suddenly fallen ill, she wouldn't have to go to the hospital to watch over him."
"It's all fate."
"What's the point of saying fate? Isn't she doing well now? Even if she can't get into Yanda, other schools will be vying for her admission."
…
That's what I said.
But Li Juan seemed very sad.
Tang Xiaobao frowned and asked, "Do you really want to go to Yanda?"
Li Juan raised her head, glanced at Tang Xiaobao, then lowered her head again and whispered, "I've always wanted to get into Yan University. That's my goal."
She didn't actually say it because Tang Xiaobao was at Yan University.
Tang Xiaobao consoled her, "It's okay. You can go to other schools. Yanda is just so-so. It's nothing special."
Wow, Yan University is the number one university in China, and only Tang Xiaobao dares to say that. If someone else said that, everyone would laugh at you.
But Tang Xiaobao can just say this, is Yan University good?
He doesn't like it at all and wants to drop out of school!
After being comforted, Li Juan was still a little sad, but she finally felt better and asked, "Mr. Tang, Mr. Shen, do you want any vegetables? The vegetables here are all very fresh. You can pick them up. It's free."
"That won't work. How can I not pay you?" Tang Xiaobao said, "You shouldn't come here to sell vegetables anymore. Take a good rest for a while. You're going to college. You have no problem paying tuition now, right?"
"It's no problem. Ever since Mr. Shen said that, someone has come to us specifically and is sponsoring our family. Now our family conditions are much better. In fact, I don't have to sell my money anymore. I'm just used to it. Every penny I earn is a penny I earn. I don't want to rely entirely on sponsorship." Li Juan was honest.
Tang Xiaobao didn't know how to persuade him.
He looked at her dishes and said, "We have potatoes and cucumbers at home. Don't you have any garlic or celery?"
“Ah, it’s sold out.”
At this time, an old lady hurriedly brought over a large bag of celery from her stall.
"Mr. Tang, take it and eat it. It's free."
The food is quite fresh.
Before Tang Xiaobao could say anything, another old man brought over five or six bunches of garlic shoots from his stall.
"Mr. Tang, these garlic sprouts are not worth much, you can eat them."
sweat……
No money is charged.
Then, several more vegetable vendors came and brought over various vegetables from their stalls. They picked out the freshest and most expensive ones, and were too embarrassed to sell the cheap and rotten ones.
And without exception, no money is charged.
In a blink of an eye, a pile of vegetables appeared in front of Tang Xiaobao.
Tang Xiaobao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Hey everyone, there are so many, I can't finish them."
"It's okay, just keep it at home and eat it slowly."
"That's right, if it doesn't work, just give it to the neighbor."
"This is a small token of our appreciation. Please don't despise it. You must accept it."
…
Tang Xiaobao never expected that he would be so popular.
The two looked at each other.
Tang Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take them all. However, you have to figure out how much they cost. Otherwise, I really can't have this dish."
He originally wanted to come and see Li Juan. He still had vegetables at home, and he didn't run a grocery store, so it was useless to have so many vegetables.
But as soon as he finished speaking, everyone started to refute him again, and they sounded very excited.
"Mr. Tang, you are the pride of the people of Bazhong. You have made such a great contribution to Bazhong. Eating a few of our dishes is nothing. We are giving them to you willingly."
"Yes, Mr. Tang, it's our honor that you can eat our food. It would be awkward to talk about money."
"Mr. Tang, Juanzi is selling her goods here. We are most familiar with her family's situation, but we are unable to do anything about it. We are very pleased that you can help her in this way. We are grateful to you on behalf of her family. This little dish is nothing."
"Although we are poor, we still know how to be grateful. You are a good person, and we are happy to give you food."
Tang Xiaobao felt warm in his heart.
What nice folks.
At this time, an old man came over.
Tang Xiaobao remembered him. This old man was selling corn cobs produced by his own family. He had just delivered a bag of them. He was dressed in rags, with veins popping out of his hands and his face covered with wrinkles. When he put down the corn cobs, he blended into the crowd and quietly went back without saying a word.
Now that he saw that Tang Xiaobao didn't accept these vegetables, he squeezed over again.
