"Stepping on the foot" Yuan Zhou's leather shoes made some sounds on the ground of the slate bricks, this crisp sound sounded really professional.

This is actually an urban village in Rongcheng, the environment is relatively poor, the small houses on both sides are much more dilapidated than the streets of Taoxi Road, and the houses are also low.

There are seven-storey old-style residential buildings on Taoxi Road, but here are rows of brick houses, all of which are opposite to the door, and the house number or something has long been hidden in a blue and black wall.

But Yuan Zhou was quite familiar with this place, and he didn't look at the house number, and walked straight forward.

Walking to the junction of an intersection, there is also a small house with an old wooden door and a padlock that is locked from the outside.

Now the padlock on it is open, indicating that there is someone in the house.

"Luckily, it's still there. Yuan Zhou said in his heart, and then kept knocking on the door.

"Knock knock" Yuan Zhou's knock on the door was very rhythmic, slow and clear.

"Who?" said a kind old voice.

"I'm Yuan Zhou. "Yuan Zhou Road.

"Boss Yuan?" With this voice, the door was opened, and the person who came out inside was an old woman who often set up a stall in front of Yuanzhou's small shop.

That is, the old woman who helped Yuan Zhou sweep the floor every morning, and the old woman who heard that Yuan Zhou was going to participate in the selection of the demonstration store and went to Qingcheng Mountain to worship.

"That's right, mother-in-law, it's me. Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Why is Boss Yuan here, come in and sit down. The old woman looked happy and let the door open.

"No, I'll tell you something. Yuan Zhou's language was gentle.

"Is there anything I need to do, old woman, tell me. The old woman nodded.

"That's right, thanks to your lucky charms, this demonstration shop won the award. "Yuan Zhou Road.

"Great, Boss Yuan, you are so good, this is as it should be, this is as it should be. The old woman even said that two should be, and waved her hand again and again, indicating that this is what Yuan Zhou deserves.

"That's also because of your lucky charm, there is a store with a score similar to mine, but people chose me, thank you. Yuan Zhou said with a serious face.

The score that Yuan Zhou said is about the same actually doesn't exist, because Yuan Zhou's total score is 39.5, and it is only 0.5 points short of the full score, and this 0.5 is still deducted by Hu Yue because he didn't eat enough.

The total score of the second place is thirty-seven points, and the difference of two and a half points determines the indisputable first place in Yuan Zhou.

But Yuan Zhou, who doesn't often lie, said it seriously this time, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

"That's really Daozu blessing, Buddha blessing, thank you, thank you. When the old woman heard this, she immediately folded her hands and bowed to the sky reverently and thanked her.

"So, I'd like to hang this on to you. Yuan Zhou handed out the wooden box containing the pennant with both hands.

"What is this?" the old woman looked puzzled.

"You open it and take a look. "Yuan Zhou Road.

"Whoa," the old woman nodded, and then opened the box.

The inside was folded, revealing only three pennants with the words of the golden demonstration store, and the old woman immediately understood what this was, and she was about to return it to Yuan Zhou when she covered it, but Yuan Zhou stretched out his hand to block it.

"Don't be in a hurry to change it, this award is selected once a year, I am greedy, and I want to have this award next year, so this pennant is placed here for you, and you can help keep it." "Yuan Zhou Road.

"No, no, no, how can this be given to me, no. The old woman shook her head again and again, resolutely not.

"However, this time the award is so risky because of the talisman you asked, you see I have it with me. Yuan Zhou said as he unbuttoned a button, and a triangular talisman hung around his neck.

This talisman is naturally the one that the old woman Qingcheng Mountain begged for.

As soon as she saw Yuan Zhou hanging a talisman, the old woman had a smile on her face, but she was still unwilling to accept this pennant.

"Boss Yuan, this can't be given to me, this is the glory you earned yourself. The old woman said solemnly.

"Yes, it's an honor, so I hope you can keep it for me for a year, and then I'll have you give it to me next year, so that this blessing can last until next year. Yuan Zhou said seriously.

Yuan Zhou mentioned next year's honor twice in a row, and the blessing was extended, so the old woman hesitated.

After all, Yuan Zhou just said that winning the award this time is very dangerous, and if you are blessed, you will naturally be more guaranteed next year.

And Yuan Zhou was relieved to see that the old woman was thinking without speaking, after all, his words of persuasion had already been finished, and the rest was all held back, and he didn't know what to say.

Yes, Yuan Zhou was ready to do this from the moment he received that talisman, and he was ready to give the pennant to the old woman.

Yuan Zhou knew how difficult Qingcheng Mountain was to climb, and he was out of breath, not to mention an old woman who was not in good health, but she was willing to ask for an ethereal blessing for him, and only hoped that he would be well.

Even if they don't have anything to do with each other, it's just because she has a better life because she has a stall in front of his store.

Yes, this honor Yuan Zhou felt should be given to the old woman.

"Will there be this award next year?" asked the old woman hesitantly.

"Yes, there is. Yuan Zhou nodded affirmatively: "The activities of the demonstration store are held every year." ”

"Then the old woman will keep it for you, and the person who will give the prize will not say anything?" said the old woman.

"Of course not, this pennant is a symbol, and there is a certificate, just this is here. "The certificate that Yuan Zhou said this time really exists, although it is just a piece of paper.

After a long silence, the old woman nodded.

"That's okay, I'll keep it, and I'll ask for a blessing when I'm going to hang it up. The old woman said.

"That's not necessary, you see that I still have this blessing with you, and if we go to the Bodhisattva again, we will think that we are greedy, so it will be fine. Yuan Zhou immediately said.

"That's just as well. The old woman nodded thoughtfully.

"Definitely, you can put away this pennant, and it can be extended to next year without asking for blessings, so you can watch me take another pennant." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Okay, listen to Boss Yuan. The old woman nodded.

"Mother-in-law can call me Xiao Yuan. Yuan Zhou said suddenly.

"Hey, okay, Xiao Yuan. The old woman laughed at once, and the wrinkles on her face were relaxed.

"Hmm. Yuan Zhou nodded in response.

After a while, Yuan Zhou spoke: "Then I'll go back first, dinner time is almost here." ”

"Okay, let's go back, don't dare to delay, be careful on the road. As soon as the old woman heard that it was time for dinner, she came to urge Yuan Zhou to come.

"Well, goodbye. Yuan Zhou nodded, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Walk slowly, little Yuan. The old woman said behind Yuan Zhou.

"Goodbye. Yuan Zhou waved his hand and walked briskly, after all, time was really running out.

This is the place where the two alleys intersect, Yuan Zhou doesn't have to follow the road he came from, he only needs to walk to the alley in front of him at the turn for a while, and the two alleys are not far apart.

Just when Yuan Zhou was turning, Yu Guang saw that the old woman was still carefully holding the wooden box and standing at the door looking at him.

Because of his keen five senses, Yuan Zhou could even feel the happiness and gentleness in the old woman's eyes, as if looking at his own juniors......
