Chapter 836: So This Is the Arrangement
The house is really small, with just one bedroom, a kitchen, and a shed in the yard which should be the bathroom and toilet.
However, Xu Zijin found that the room was very clean.
"Auntie, thank you very much, Huzi, for leading us the way just now."
"We don't have anything good, so I hope you don't mind this bowl of dumplings and this little something."
Seeing so many things, Aunt Mi immediately became anxious: "No, no, I'm just showing you the way, how can I take your things?"
"Comrade, I appreciate your kindness, but you can't accept the gifts."
Aunt Mi is very thin, but not dark.
Although his clothes were old, they were clean and he didn't look like someone who did rough labor.
Although the family is poor, they do not accept favors from others casually.
This is an old man with backbone.
Xu Zijin likes this kind of people.
"Auntie, I won't lie to you anymore. I'll just tell you the truth."
"Hu Zi was stealing someone else's meat just now and bumped into me."
"I thought he stole it for himself, but he said it was because grandma hadn't eaten oil for a long time and couldn't defecate, so he stole the meat."
"I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing you, I believe it now."
"You're welcome, it's just a small token of my appreciation."
"Our conditions are better than yours, please accept it."
After saying that, Xu Zijin glanced at Lu Hanzhou, and the two of them put the things on the only table in Aunt Mi's room.
Seeing that the two men insisted that she take it in, Aunt Mi's eyes suddenly turned red. She stammered and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't know what to say.
"Huzi, please bow to the two benefactors."
Huzi was very obedient. He immediately bent down seriously and said, "Thank you, uncle. Thank you, aunt."
Xu Zijin held Hu Zi: "Okay, you're welcome, you're welcome."
"As long as you don't learn bad things in the future, Auntie will be happy."
"Huzi, you are a filial child. I like you."
"Promise Auntie: study hard and never do anything sneaky again. Come to me if you have any problems, okay?"
When Hu Zi heard this, his eyes were instantly filled with tears: "Auntie, I... I don't want to be a bad guy. Bad guys get shot."
"But, but...I'm afraid of grandma..."
But for his grandma, he had no choice but to learn bad things!
If you can't defecate for a long time, your stomach will swell to death...
After hearing this, Xu Zijin felt even more distressed for the child.
She held Hu Zi's hand and said softly, "I know, I know, it's good enough that you said this."
"I believe you won't learn bad things in the future."
After saying that, she looked at Aunt Mi and said, "Aunt, how do you, an old man and a child, make a living?"
Aunt Mi felt very uncomfortable because her grandson did not study well for her sake.
She said it many times, but the child said that he didn't want his grandmother to die, and if his grandmother died, no one would take care of him.
Because they don’t want their children to become orphans, they still let them steal.
Looking at Xu Zijin's sincere eyes, Aunt Mi's old face felt hot and she sighed deeply.
"Actually, I do have a pension. Although it's not much, it's enough for food and drink."
"In the past few years, my health has not been very good. I am always sick every other day. My children need money for school, so I have to save money."
Retirement wages in this era...
Xu Zijin asked curiously: "Auntie, how much pension do you get a month?"
Aunt Mi smiled sheepishly: "I used to be a textile worker, and my salary was not high, only 21 yuan a month."
Twenty-one dollars, and I rely on it for everything from eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom. It’s barely enough for one person.
But I have to raise a grandson and send him to school. I am getting older and my health is getting worse. This amount of money is definitely not enough.
No wonder I can’t even afford the oil.
The difficulties he had experienced in the past made Xu Zijin always feel soft-hearted when he saw the elderly, the weak and the sick.
Especially for this grandparents and grandchildren, she couldn't help but want to help.
With a sigh, Xu Zijin spoke to the old lady...
"Auntie, I'm the owner of the 'common people' grain and oil shop in the city. My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Zijin."
"From now on, on the first day of every month, ask Hu Zi to go to the grain store."
"When you get there, ask him to find a man named Liu Dazhi and tell him that I asked you to go there."
"I won't give you much either. I'll let Huzi go there to get five kilograms of oil every month."
"Don't be polite. I can afford this little bit of oil. I'm a military wife and I have the ability. Don't refuse."
Give her five kilograms of oil a month?
Aunt Mi was dumbfounded.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. After a while, she said two words: "Thank you."
This lady is an honest person.
Xu Zijin smiled and nodded: "You're welcome."
"Auntie, it's getting late. The children have to go to school tomorrow. You should go to bed early."
Before Aunt Mi could say anything, Xu Zijin pulled Lu Hanzhou out.
The couple had only walked a few steps outside when a mechanical voice suddenly came from their heads: "Congratulations, Master. I am the new administrator of your space. My name is Xiaoshu."
"Master, you did a good thing today, one point for that."
Keep score?
Xu Zijin was dumbfounded.
"Xiaoshu, why don't you keep any points for the good things you did in the past?"
The little tree immediately answered her: "Master, you used to complete tasks, but this is different."
"Completing the mission can double your supplies, but not now."
"If you want to increase your resources in the future, you must continue to do good deeds."
"Once you reach 100 points, you will have a surprise."
Doing a good deed only gets you one point, a hundred points...
Xu Zijin twitched his lips: "Then I have to do a hundred good things... Damn, this is too difficult."
Little Tree has a toothache!
Master, others don’t even have this opportunity.
"Master, nothing is difficult in this world. As long as you are willing to climb, I believe you can do it!"
"come on!"
The mother-in-law no longer takes care of the space, and has replaced it with a flatterer?
Xu Zijin rolled his eyes to the sky.
Although this reward was useless, it was better than nothing. She told Lu Hanzhou the news...
The couple left and Aunt Mi said nothing.
The old man closed the door silently and went back into the house...
"Huzi, come here, have you remembered what your benefactor said?"
Huzi nodded immediately: "Grandma, I remember! Don't worry, I will never steal anything again."
As soon as her grandson finished speaking, Aunt Mi's eyes turned red.
She knew that her grandson was a good boy, just like his father and mother.
If the old man had not offended so many people in the past, her son and daughter-in-law would not have gotten into trouble.
Aunt Mi touched her grandson's head and said, "Remember the kindness you have shown me, learn to be kind, and be someone who can help others in the future. Do you remember?"
“Remember!”
The couple didn't know about this. When they returned to the dormitory, Xiao Mingjian was still awake. Xu Zijin called him over and gave him some instructions...
"Give them five kilograms of oil and five kilograms of meat every month."
"By the way, go check the warehouse to see if there are any leftover winter clothes. Find a few more sets for the elderly and children."
"Find a few more pairs of shoes, too. I see that none of the shoes they wear are good. They look so pitiful."
Xiao Mingjian took note of it very carefully.
"Okay, I'll do it."
