Chapter 858 : Kindness is rewarded!
Zhao Xu walked back to where the old beggar was lying and said with a smile: "Senior, I have got more than a hundred yuan now. There is another person who went to buy pen and ink and said he would give me a thousand yuan and let me write a calligraphy for him.
.Today’s task of asking for five hundred yuan is completed.”
"Well, good job!" The old beggar squinted his eyes and said to Zhao Xu: "I will disperse the money I asked for later."
"Spread out?" Zhao Xu looked shocked.
The old beggar smiled and said: "We are beggars, why do we need so much money? Spend the money where it should be spent!"
"Senior, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Xu felt confused.
"You can figure it out for yourself! When the time comes, just leave a hundred yuan and buy me another hundred yuan of braised beef in the evening. Your mission will be completed. Go ahead!" After the old beggar finished speaking, he leaned against the corner.
He squinted his eyes and dozed off again.
When Liu Ruoyan saw Zhao Xu talking to an old beggar with unkempt hair, she had a puzzled and puzzled expression on her face. She really didn't know what Zhao Xu was doing!
After the man who bought the four treasures of the study came back, Zhao Xu wrote a calligraphy calligraphy of "Man Jiang Hong" with pen and ink in public.
After the calligraphy finished product came out, passers-by couldn't help but applaud and cheer. It can be described as "a wonderful pen brings flowers to life!"
The man was very satisfied and immediately took out a thousand yuan and gave it to Zhao Xu. He regarded it as a treasure, took the calligraphy and said he wanted to frame it.
All of a sudden, it turned into more than a thousand yuan, and Zhao Xu was worried, not knowing how to get rid of the money.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a few elderly people setting up street stalls not far away.
Zhao Xu had an idea and walked towards several stall owners setting up street stalls.
There was an old lady stall owner selling insoles, and another stall selling Hangzhou specialty gadgets.
Zhao Xu only kept one hundred yuan and used the rest to buy the stall owner's things.
If life were not in embarrassment, who would be willing to set up a street stall, especially an elderly person like this.
The old lady stall owner and a woman stall owner thanked Zhao Xu profusely. They didn't expect a beggar to be so generous. They bought all their things at once, so they could close the stall in advance and go home to rest.
Zhao Xu distributed the things he bought to passers-by for free.
Many of these passers-by were people who worked nearby. They were usually very stressed at work, and suddenly received small gifts after get off work. The eyes of those who received the gifts were full of surprises. What no one expected was that the person who distributed the gifts to them, He is actually a beggar.
After taking a walk, Zhao Xu ran to a nearby delicatessen and bought braised beef for 100 yuan. When he came back, he found that Liu Ruoyan and Lin Qiao had left.
Zhao Xu walked up to the old beggar, woke him up and said, "Senior, I've finished buying the braised beef. With the other money, I bought two items for a street stall and distributed the items to passers-by."
"Well! What did you get?" the old beggar asked Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "I understand the true meaning of giving up! Without giving up, there is no gain. These money were begged from passers-by, and then given back to passers-by in other forms. Seeing their tired bodies,
A smile appeared on my face. I felt very accomplished!"
"Well! Help me up, let's go!" the old beggar said to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu helped the old beggar up, and the two walked another five kilometers back to the shack.
After having dinner with the old beggar, Zhao Xu changed into clean clothes and returned to the "Sophie Hotel" where he stayed.
After Zhao Xu came back, Li Qingqing couldn't wait to ask him what the old beggar had called him to do to test him.
"Qingqing, can you guess?" Zhao Xu took a sip of water and asked his wife Li Qingqing.
"Which senior asked you to train hard?" Li Qingqing asked.
Zhao Xu shook his head.
Li Qingqing pondered for a while and said, "Then let you teach him the new swordsmanship?"
Zhao Xu still shook his head.
"Oh, I don't want to guess anymore. What is it?"
Zhao Xu looked helpless and said, "He asked me to be a beggar with him!"
"Being a beggar? You...you won't go to the streets with him to beg for food, right?" Li Qingqing's beautiful eyes widened and she felt incredible.
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "To be precise, I went to beg for food, and the senior just slept there. And he also assigned me a task. I must beg for five hundred yuan."
"Five hundred yuan? That's so much. Are you really going to beg for food?" Li Qingqing asked in disbelief.
"Of course!"
"Then how much money did you ask for, and did you complete the task?"
Zhao Xu said proudly: "Your husband is very powerful. He has collected more than 1,100 yuan in total."
Li Qingqing's eyes widened and she asked in surprise: "Are you telling the truth or are you lying? How could you get so much?"
So, Zhao Xu told his wife Li Qingqing how he went to the streets to beg for food. He only skipped the part about meeting Liu Ruoyan.
Li Qingqing knew that Zhao Xu was good at handwriting, but she didn't expect that he could use this skill to collect more than a thousand yuan.
Li Qingqing smiled brightly and said to Zhao Xu: "Congratulations on passing the test! It seems that even if we go bankrupt, we won't starve to death. You can sell your work to support us."
Zhao Xu pulled his wife Li Qingqing, let her sit in his arms, hugged her slender waist, and said, "Qingqing, I'm about to recover, are you happy?"
When Li Qingqing heard this, she escaped from Zhao Xu's arms and said with a blushing face: "You can recover your internal strength when you recover! Why are you hugging me and talking?"
"I mean we are going to be together! Don't you look forward to it?"
"Don't look forward to it, I'm fine alone now!"
The blush on Li Qingqing's face reached to her ears, and she hurriedly left the room.
In the next two days, Zhao Xu followed the old beggar to beg on the streets every day.
Zhao Xu has become a well-known person in this area because of his good calligraphy. Many people want to buy his calligraphy and paintings, but the prices are not much. Some are 300 yuan a piece, and 500 yuan a piece. A piece of money.
Zhao Xu would not refuse anyone who came, and he would let the calligrapher buy his own pen and ink anyway.
For three days in a row, Zhao Xu bought buns at the "Lao Niang Bun Shop".
After finishing work on the third day, the old beggar called Zhao Xu closer and asked, "Has all the money been spent?"
"Well! The flowers are gone."
"I am very satisfied with your performance, which shows that you are a very enlightened person with good moral character. The reason why I want to test you is to see your character. I don't want to save you as a wolf, but you make me admire you with admiration. I know that you come from a rich family. It is difficult for people with this kind of background to clear their minds and do something seriously. But you have thrown away your previous identity and done a good job! Now, use your own identity to go Do one thing.”
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xu asked the old beggar happily.
The old beggar said to Zhao Xu: "The people from that old lady's bun shop have been selling buns to you these days. And they don't dislike you. They give you a few more buns every time. Now it's time for you to repay them. , let them know that good people are rewarded! Go ahead, I’ll wait for you.”
"Don't worry, senior! I'll go right away." Zhao Xu turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute!" The old beggar called out to Zhao Xu.
"Go back to the car and change your clothes. I'll give you an hour. I'll see if you can't handle this!"
"Senior, don't worry, I will definitely get it done!" After Zhao Xu said that, he ran away.
A five-kilometer run usually takes about half an hour for an adult man.
Because Zhao Xu often runs in the morning, he arrived at the shack in only twenty-two minutes. After changing his clothes, Zhao Xu drove the car and arrived at the vicinity of "Hangshang Department Store" in just thirty-five minutes.
!
Liu Ruoyan and Lin Qiao were sitting in a car opposite, watching Zhao Xu run out in a hurry, and when he came back, he took off his beggar's clothes and changed into clean clothes.
Lin Qiao asked Liu Ruoyan in confusion: "Miss, what is this boy Zhao Xu doing?"
"I don't know either." Liu Ruoyan shook his head.
She really couldn't guess what Zhao Xu was doing. He was obviously the boss of a company, but he had to pretend to be a beggar.
Zhao Xu went to the bank, took out 500,000 yuan, and came to "Lao Niang Baozi Shop!".
"Sir, do you want to buy steamed buns?" the middle-aged woman who was selling steamed buns asked Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "I'm not here to buy buns, I'm here to invest in your store!"
"Invest in our store?" the lady boss selling steamed buns looked surprised.
Zhao Xu nodded, then took the five hundred thousand from the bank and handed it to the proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop, saying, "This is five hundred thousand, so I'll become a shareholder!"
The proprietress of the steamed stuffed bun shop opened the bag and took a look. Inside was a stack of hundred-yuan bills that smelled of ink.
"This..." The landlady looked surprised, made a "please!" gesture to Zhao Xu, and said: "Sir, please come in, let's discuss it in detail!"
"No need! I invest in your steamed stuffed bun shop and I have only one requirement."
"Sir, please tell me, what are your requirements?"
Zhao Xu said: "If an old beggar comes to buy buns in the future, remember to give them to him for free." After that, he left without looking back.
At the mention of "old beggar!", the proprietress of the bun shop slapped her thigh, suddenly remembered, and exclaimed: "Isn't that young man just now the young beggar who has been coming to our bun shop to buy buns every day for the past three days?"
