I remember that when I was still in elementary school, a brainwashing extracurricular book was popularly circulated in the class. I forgot the name of the book. The content was probably some short stories, similar to fables. One of the stories was

A boy with a flat head who looked very much like Li Lei in the English textbook met a trembling old man who was about to collapse and wanted to cross the road on the way to school. So he opened his nostrils, blew out a big breath, and then told his father

Mom put the breakfast he had eaten on the way to school into his schoolbag, and then he went to help the old man cross the road.

After crossing the road, the old man touched his head happily and asked, kid, what's your name? The child made a team salute in a very standard posture and said, "My name is Red Scarf!" After the old man left, the child never

He took out his unfinished breakfast from his bag, only to find that it had overflowed and soiled his textbook. This was originally a very sad thing, but with a super precocious attitude, this child comforted himself by saying, "It doesn't matter, I helped others."

,I am very happy.

In fact, this story played a certain positive role in guiding my childhood. Except that I would never be stupid enough to put breakfast in my schoolbag that I knew would overflow. It actually tells us the joy of helping others.

, just a small and inconspicuous thing can make us happy all day long.

So what if your helping seems to outsiders to be a foolish act? Would you still choose to continue doing this?

Almost a week before meeting Hu Zongren again, he and I often called each other, and the content of the conversation on the phone increased by one more person, that is, the Taoist girl named Zhao Jing. Although we were not related to her at all.

I'm not familiar with it, but through some connections between me and Hu Zongren, I still got some information about this girl. I only know that she didn't study in Chongqing. The master is an old-timer but has almost no interaction with us.

I had only heard of this master's name but had never seen him. After studying in the master's school, he returned to Chongqing. Like Hu Zongren and I, he had no choice but to go to college because he did not have a high level of education.

Take on the burden of supporting yourself at this age.

And I heard that this girl has been pursued by many peers since she entered the temple, but because of her proud personality and self-reliance on being a girl, she is somewhat difficult to get close to. The rumors I heard are roughly the same, although

Hu Zongren and I both got Zhao Jing's phone number, but no one dared to call, because I knew that if I called, I would probably get scolded, which would ruin my mood, and let her only one point.

The image is shattered in our minds.

A week later, Hu Zongren and Fu Yunni came to my house for a visit, and he also made an appointment with me to investigate the case with him the next day. Since Hu Zongren and I have been hanging out together these days, Sister Cai understands, and Fu Yunni

Ni is grateful to me, but once upon a time, such endless investigation has become an inherent part of our lives. I suddenly realized that it had been a long time since I took Sister Cai to see a movie, and it had been a long time since I had an appointment with friends.

I went out to sing and drink, and I didn't think about anything else besides work for a long time.

So when Sister Cai and Fu Yunni went to wash the dishes together, and Hu Zongren and I were lying on the balcony smoking, I said to him, have you thought about what I told you that day? He asked me with a puzzled look on his face.

, what's the matter? I said I just want to find a date to get married quickly, and then bring your old lady here to live together. He said hey, you are still thinking about this, I almost forgot. I said that day

After telling you, I also thought about it for myself. Sister Cai has been with me for so many years, and I am not young anymore. It seems that it is time to get married.

Hu Zongren blew out a puff of smoke and said, do you know what getting married means? It means that you must put down everything you are currently doing, otherwise you will be irresponsible to your family. In fact, I have thought about it too, and I have recently been obsessed with people in these industries.

Things gradually started to flicker, and after I got a little tired, the idea of ​​​​getting married early became stronger and stronger in my heart. I said that I plan to propose to Sister Cai within this year, and then pick a date next year to hold the wedding. Do you want to

You should propose marriage to me first, so as to give your family Fu Yunni some peace of mind. You see, her mother has passed away and her father has completely cut off the world of mortal life. There will still be several opportunities to see her in the rest of her life.

No one can tell Fu Qiang. Fu Qiang's aloofness is destined to be the leader and he won't have many friends. Looking at it, who else can treat Fu Yunni sincerely except you? After getting married, he will

Your mother took it over. Fu Yunni still has someone to call her mother.

Hu Zongren thought for a while and said, let me think about it more. I said, then you won’t propose with me? He said, who wants to be with you? You have robbed all the limelight! In fact, I proposed with another person.

I did it with a friend, but the result was exactly the opposite. I forgot my words because of my nervousness, so my limelight was stolen by my friend.

I asked Hu Zongren, do you know anything about tomorrow? He said he knew a little, but not much. The one who came to us was a fast food restaurant. I eagerly asked, does that mean we will find a sponsor for tomorrow’s lunch and dinner?

?He said that's basically it.

Early the next morning, we met at the place Hu Zongren had arranged with me. This place is located in Shapingba. Shapingba District has always been associated with many prestigious schools, so everyone regards this place as a place full of books, and

In fact, the roads in Shapingba are relatively narrow and old. Most of the urban traces of the early period of reform and opening up can be found in this area. Precisely because of the narrow roads and complicated road conditions, the center of Shapingba has always been one of the most congested areas in Chongqing.

First, before Jiangbei District became the most congested area, I always felt that Shapingba was the Las Vegas of Chongqing, a congested city.

The areas with traffic jams are often busy commercial areas. This fast food restaurant is located on the pedestrian street of Shapingba District. It is a very well-known fast food restaurant. After calling the store manager at the door of the restaurant, I was afraid because there were too many people in the store.

The content of the conversation was overheard by others and had a bad impact, so the three of us stood outside and talked.

The store manager is a lady in her thirties, surnamed Xie, but because of the hat that belongs exclusively to this fast food restaurant, she also stands out in the crowd. I even feel that we stand on the roadside and attract the attention of passers-by.

It's just an advertisement. I should really ask them how much they charge for advertising. During a simple conversation, I roughly understood the reason for this case.

The thing is like this, in the past two months, a strange thing happened in their store. The cause was a working girl who was a student studying nearby. Because fast food restaurants generally pay based on hourly wages,

Therefore, working part-time in a fast food restaurant is the choice of many nearby college students. At around 11 o'clock that night, there were not many customers in the store, and the remaining couples who might want to watch a midnight movie were still talking quietly in the store.

At this time, the sliding door opened, and a short, white-haired old woman wearing a floral dress and black trousers came in. She was holding a white umbrella with a hooked handle in her hand. She did not order food, but

I sat directly next to the door, using my umbrella as a crutch, and sat there motionless, looking out the window.

Manager Xie said that at that time, our waiter thought that the old lady was tired from walking and wanted to take a rest. Out of good intentions, he gave the old lady a cup of hot water in a paper cup and told her to take a rest before leaving. Listen.

When I got here, I couldn't help but silently praise it. I had seen such a news before. An old woman who was so poor that she only had one yuan left in her body walked into a fast food restaurant and said to the salesperson, "Children, please give me a bowl."

Soup, I just want soup, and I only have one dollar. Then the clerk brought the grandma a rich meal, and told her that they don’t want your money, and they know you are hungry, so just eat it.

When I saw that news, I was very moved. I thought that maybe a small act that many people inadvertently did once everyone saw it, might become a role model and an act worthy of praise. Maybe in the beginning,

The salesperson who served the grandma a big meal was a shrew in life. She loved gambling, drinking, and beating and scolding her children. But at that moment, her heart was the purest. So when she heard what Store Manager Xie said about their store clerk’s behavior,

, I admire her very much in my heart, even though it was just a little girl who was a student, even though it was just an inconspicuous cup of hot water, it warmed the hearts of everyone I believe who knew about it.

Manager Xie went on to say that the old lady said thank you to the girl after taking the water. From that day on, almost every day at this time, the old lady would appear in the store on time, and every time the girl would talk to the girl.

The same thing happened every time, and she was given a free cup of hot water, but she said that every time after the grandma left, she found that the water had not been touched at all when she cleared the table.

In fact, Hu Zongren and I immediately guessed something when we heard this. Just out of politeness, we let Manager Xie finish the story first. Manager Xie continued to say that several times when the old lady came, if the one near the door

If there are people at the table, she will usually stand outside the door first and wait until the people at the table have left before coming in. It gives the impression that she does not want to cause trouble to others. But every time she appears, it is almost at night.

It's past 11 o'clock, and it seems to have gradually formed a tradition. Every time this old woman comes, she will always smile at the student girl who first gave her hot water. Sometimes, if the girl doesn't go to work that day, other colleagues will also

They would bring her hot water, but she looked a little disappointed. Since it lasted for a long time, the employees in the store were used to the grandma appearing every day, but no one thought about the grandma still walking outside at 11 o'clock in the night.

, itself seems a bit wrong.

Sure enough, store manager Xie said that until last week, the student girl clerk was picked on by a male customer when she was serving other customers, so a small dispute occurred. The old lady was also sitting there, but we

On the tray in the hand of the waiter, there was a cup of hot milk that was meant to be served to other customers. Under the trouble of the male customer, he spilled the milk and the whole cup poured on the old woman's face.
