Chapter 43 Beggar
[That’s it, Gu Ruan.] Gui took out the diaper basket, put the five kilogram rice bag in it, and closed the lid. Then he finished the unpacked bag.
[Thank you Gui Yi, I will rely on your help in the future.] Gu Ruan sincerely thanked Gui Yi.
[You're welcome, Gu Ruan.] Gui Yi's smile got even bigger.
Gu Ruan took out the backpack from the warehouse, opened the lid of the backpack, gave Zhang Jinhua a look, and said in a breathy voice.
"Five pounds of rice."
Zhang Jinhua smiled and nodded, "Let's go."
Gu Ruan was carrying a backpack and took out a water bag from the warehouse and hung it on his waist.
Zhang Jinhua walked out first.
The three of them walked to the door of Heyu Liang Store again. This time they went in without waiting for the waiter to come out.
"Brother, where is your shopkeeper?" Zhang Jinhua looked at the waiter and asked.
When the clerk Xiao Zhang heard the voice, he looked over and saw the three of them. He smiled and said, "Sir, how are you? You still think our grain store is good. You don't need to call the shopkeeper. I will load it for you as much as you want. Just
You speak."
Zhang Jinhua smiled and shook his head, but did not speak.
I heard the shopkeeper's voice coming from the side room inside.
"Xiao Zhang, if you keep smashing your mouth, you still won't bring the distinguished guest in."
"Okay, shopkeeper." The waiter Xiao Zhang didn't make a sound when he was told. Instead, he responded. He probably thought that he was about to open a business and made money, so he didn't care what the shopkeeper said.
When Gu Ruan heard the shopkeeper's words, he smiled secretly and thought of a joke, Cuiguo, smashing her mouth. Unfortunately, the person who could share it was still in the cave.
"Dear guest, please." The waiter made a gesture of greeting. Seeing the three people walking into the side room, he stepped forward and opened the door.
Gu Ruan said in a voice that the three of them could hear, "I'll stay outside."
Zhang Jinhua nodded. Li Dahe said nothing and took the backpack from Gu Ruan.
The two of them went in, and the waiter immediately closed the door outside.
I plan to introduce Mi to Gu Ruan.
Gu Ruan looked at the closed door and couldn't help feeling a little nervous. Then he looked at the waiter who was about to speak and said quickly, "You are busy with your business, I won't disturb you."
The guy didn't insist and left.
Gu Ruan stood by the counter, peeking at the closed door from time to time. The waiter was also busy cleaning, and it became quiet for a while.
Until I saw a little head peeking in secretly outside the grain store.
Gu Ruan thought for a while, isn't this the little beggar?
The clerk Xiao Zhang saw it, glanced left and right, and walked over.
Gu Ruan thought the waiter would drive away the little beggar.
Unexpectedly, the waiter took out a small, hard cake from his pocket and handed it to the little beggar.
The little beggar shook his head and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang, I earned some water today. I'll come over to exchange for food."
As he spoke, he took out a water bag from his arms.
Gu Ruan looked familiar. If he took a closer look, wasn't it the water bag he gave him?
"Take that, too. I don't lack these few bites." The waiter stuffed the pancake into the little beggar's arms, took the water bag, walked to the counter, took out a cup filled with water and poured out about half of it.
Then he took a rice bag and scooped out about five kilograms of broken rice. He handed it to the little beggar along with the water bag.
The little beggar happily took it, "Thank you, Brother Zhang."
Gu Ruan knew that water was valuable, but he didn't expect it to be so valuable, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
When the waiter saw the little beggar leaving, he looked at Gu Ruan's surprised expression and explained with a smile.
"Normally, these children can still get food, but now who... Hey, so our shopkeeper couldn't bear it, so he asked them to bring water in exchange, or better rice in exchange for some
It’s almost rice.”
Gu Ruan understood now. It turned out that changing the water was just an excuse. Sure enough, the shopkeeper was a kind person.
Gu Ruan sighed inwardly, maybe because people are kind-hearted, or maybe because he lived in a peaceful era, his heart suddenly softened.
I saw the little beggar handing something to another little beggar who was smaller than him, and saw two people trying to shirk it. The older beggar reluctantly took a sip of water, and the other, smaller beggar smiled.
Take it and leave.
Then the little beggar squatted not far away again.
Gu Ruan looked at the inner room again and saw that there was no movement. Thinking that he would not be able to finish the conversation in a while, he made a decision in his heart.
Gu Ruan looked at the three steamed buns left in the warehouse.
[Gui Yi, I’ll lend you three steamed buns, use them, and return them to you when the time comes, okay? 】
After all, all these steamed buns have been given to Guiyi. Now that Guiyi is the owner of this steamed bun, he has to ask.
[Okay, Gu Ruan and Li Yunqiu sold me thirty large rice balls, can I eat them? 】
Gui waited eagerly for Gu Ruan's answer.
【Okay, you can eat as much as you want.】
Gu Ruan secretly took one out of the warehouse and kneaded the buns flat with his hands behind his back. When he had finished kneading all three, he took it out and saw, hey, it's really ugly! But at least it's edible.
Take the steamed bun and walk to the little beggar.
The little beggar said without even looking, "Good man, please give me something to eat and drink. Please."
Seeing no one answered, the little beggar raised his head, looked at Gu Ruan, and said in surprise.
"The great benevolent person is you."
I don't know what I was thinking about, and my face changed slightly.
"I have finished drinking the water and there is no way I can return it to you."
Gu Ruan laughed and handed over the three flat buns in his hand.
The little beggar suddenly smiled like a flower and quickly took it.
"Thank you so much, kind man."
The little beggar tried to put the steamed bun in his arms again.
Gu Ruan thought of the scene he just saw.
"I give it to you with conditions."
The little beggar quickly protected the three steamed buns and looked at Gu Ruan warily.
"What conditions?"
"You have to eat one now."
The little beggar immediately grimaced and looked at the buns in his arms.
It’s not a bad idea to eat one and still have two left for your younger siblings.
Gu Ruan wanted to laugh when he saw him like this. When he gave it to other little beggars, he wasn't so reluctant to give it to him. Why was he reluctant to give it up now when he was eating it for himself? Gu Ruan didn't mind letting him eat it now.
I just thought that every time the little beggar was reluctant to eat, he would give it to other beggars, so I thought of letting him eat it too, so as not to see him again next time.
The little beggar held two of them in his arms, took out one, thought about it, and tore off a small half from the top. He looked at Gu Ruan pleadingly and said.
"I, I, can eat these."
Gu Ruan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Why did he feel like he had become a bad person now?
"Okay. Let's eat."
Gu Ruan endured the possibility that there were lice on his head and gently touched the little beggar's head softly.
When the little beggar saw this, he quickly put the bigger part in his arms and ate it in one bite.
