Chapter 119 Good Samaritans
"Hey, old beggar, don't stay here. This is a restaurant. What are you doing standing here? If anyone passes by to eat, they will be disgusted by you. How can they eat? Really, look at my woolen pants, they are all dirty because of you."
A cold wind blew in.
A woman in a tweed coat was standing at the door, complaining.
An old beggar, in tattered clothes, fell in the snow, shivering for a long time and unable to stand up.
The woman looked disgusted.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't bear it, as the first snow fell in the county town yesterday.
The road is difficult to travel on and the weather is cold.
The old beggar's clothes were very thin. If he fell in the snow like this, he would really freeze to death.
It must be because it was so cold that he saw the heat at the restaurant entrance and ran to the door curtain to get some heat.
But this woman is so good.
They are still rushing outside, not knowing that people will freeze to death in such weather.
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked over quickly.
"Uncle, please get up! Why are your hands so cold?"
She originally thought he was a beggar, but after helping him up, she realized that although the old beggar was wearing tattered clothes, he was actually a very clean person.
"Thank you, thank you, it's okay, it's okay. I won't go in. If I go in and let the other diners see me, who will be able to eat? I'll just stand at the door for a while, don't worry about me, you guys go in and eat, don't worry, I will definitely not bother you."
Just from what the old man said, you can tell that he is a well-educated person.
But the woman's face was full of things that were neither a nose nor a face.
"You are a clean-looking girl, but you don't see that he is a beggar. Aren't you afraid that he has lice? If he gets infected, whose body will it belong to?"
He covered his nose and turned away.
The old man said, "Don't worry, girl. I don't have any lice. Go in and have your meal. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. I'll just wait here for you."
The old man's hands and feet are cold.
The lips are pale.
How could Jiang Xiaoxiao not see that the old man had dignity? Even though he was cold and hungry, he was unwilling to let others give him alms.
So I'm trying to hold myself together and say that I'm waiting for someone here.
Waiting for someone to become like this.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's heart softened. Who asked her to meddle in other people's business today? Since she was going to meddle in other people's business, she might as well do it to the end.
Just think of it as doing one good deed every day.
"Uncle, we are from outside the area and we are here to report to the power plant. We would like to ask for directions. How about this, can you go in and show us the way?"
What he said sounded just like the truth.
The old man looked up at the little girl in front of him. She was so pretty and had a good heart.
What he said was just an excuse for himself to sit in a warm house and warm himself by the fire.
Just for this reason, this girl must have a good heart.
"No, I'm telling you here."
The old man has his own pride. Even though he has fallen from that high position, he will never allow himself to lower his head because of life.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't show any disgust at all. She took the old man's arm and forced him into the house.
"Uncle, please don't bully me. I finally found someone to show me the way. If you don't tell me, we will be wandering around the city in this snowy day. What will we do if we get frozen? Look, my sister is pregnant and can't walk far.
I am counting on you to show me the way. If you don't help me, you are looking down on us outsiders."
Qin Ming looked at the old man and hurriedly pulled out the bench so that the old man could sit down and warm himself up.
This stool is next to the stove. If you sit down in this position, you are naturally next to the stove.
Originally Qin Ming was sitting here, but when he saw the old man, he automatically sat next to Jiang Yue.
The old man was secretly grateful in his heart, these young people are really nice.
People don't know me, but they are willing to extend a hand.
You have to be grateful to others. There are not many kind-hearted people like you nowadays.
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Uncle, what are you thanking me for? We should be the ones thanking you. We want to go to the power plant and the primary school in our county. Please help me find the way!"
Jiang Xiaoxiao secretly made a gesture to the boss.
The old man nodded.
Jiang Xiaoxiao asked enthusiastically.
She had been to this small county town at least a dozen times in her previous life, how could she not know where the power plant was!
I don’t know where the primary school in the county is.
She really wanted to help the old man, not for anything in return, just to let the old man sit here, warm himself by the fire, and drink a bowl of hot soup.
Even if it was just a chance meeting, she felt what she should do.
Although I have witnessed a lot of cold-heartedness in my previous life, one should still have good thoughts and be righteous.
She didn't think that she would be omnipotent after her rebirth and could look down on others.
If she had not been reborn, she would have been just an ordinary person. Why could she be so high and mighty?
When the old man heard this, he actually dipped his finger in the hot water in the bowl and drew a sketch of a county town for them on the table.
Point out where the power plant is, where the primary school is, and how to get there the shortest way.
And they should go where first and then where to go, so as to save travel time.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was surprised. The old man's words were very clear and logical, and he must be a cultured person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to analyze so clearly. Even though he was just pointing out a way, the old man gave them several plans.
"Thank you so much, old man. I didn't expect you to be such a living map. It's so cold, and you're wearing such thin clothes on the outside. That's not good. But you have to go back early, otherwise it will be dark and the road will be slippery. It will be bad if something happens then."
Jiang Xiaoxiao instructed, stood up and wrapped her scarf around her neck, "Sister, brother-in-law, let's go. If it's any later, the power plant will be closed, and we'll have to wait in the snow.
Sir, see you later."
Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled her brother-in-law and elder sister out, who had not reacted for a long time.
"We can't leave yet. We haven't paid the old man yet. We've been eating for half a day and haven't paid him yet."
Qin Ming was anxious.
"Young man, your sister-in-law is a good girl. She has already paid the money. You should hurry back. The weather forecast says there is still snow in the county town! You are not locals. Hurry up and finish your business and go back early, otherwise it will be troublesome if you get stuck in traffic."
The old man, wearing an apron, brought out a large bowl and said to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming paused, "You kid, you...are you going to let your brother-in-law live?"
Said in a low voice.
Jiang Xiaoxiao pulled him away.
"Let's go, let's go, brother-in-law, please go quickly. We are all family, why are you being so polite to me? What's the difference between spending your money and spending my money? Let me tell you, today I will treat you to a bowl of wontons, but when we go to the city next year, you have to treat me to roast duck. Don't think you can get rid of me with a bowl of wontons, that's impossible!"
"Roast duck! All right! Brother-in-law owes you ten meals of roast duck. One day I'll make you afraid of roast duck."
Qin Ming said with a smile.
“No way!”
The sound faded into the distance.
The old beggar who was warming himself by the fire was about to stand up and leave.
The old man put the large bowl in front of him.
"this……?"
"The girl has already paid me. Just enjoy your meal. It's so cold, it's rare to meet a kind person when you go out. There are still many kind people in this world. I can't control you for anything else. But we are still short of a dishwasher in our restaurant. If you are willing, come and wash the dishes.
I stayed in the store at night. Although the conditions were a little shabby, it was a place to stay. At least I wouldn't be cold or hungry. I'm the only one who has the final say in this store now."
The old beggar burst into tears.
There are still many kind-hearted people in this world.
