Chapter 42: There's a Song Called "A Penny"
"Laugh...... Laugh at your sister!"
Seeing that these onlookers were just smirking, Lin Pengfei scolded in his heart.
Do you think I want to find the owner of this dime?
Isn't this forced?
Of course, Lin Pengfei could only think about these in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
However, seeing this group of onlookers smiling so happily, Lin Pengfei's face was not good-looking.
"Laugh...... Have you laughed enough?"
Lin Pengfei looked at these onlookers unhappily and shouted.
"Big ...... Big brother, hahaha...... You...... You're going to let me ...... again I'll laugh again...... Laugh for a while...... Hahaha......"
"Right...... Let's ...... Again...... Laugh a little longer. ”
Several young girls laughed and pointed at Lin Pengfei with their fingers.
"Laugh, is it that funny?"
Lin Pengfei looked at these young women speechlessly and said.
"It's not that funny...... Be...... It's very, very funny!"
A girl in a white dress laughed.
Seeing these girls so faceless, Lin Pengfei was very unhappy.
I sorted out the thoughts in my head.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Lin Pengfei cleared his throat.
Seeing that everyone's attention is focused on themselves.
Lin Pengfei opened his mouth and said: "Do you think it's funny to pick up a dime? Do you think it's a shame to find the owner of this dime?"
"Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"
"I see that you are all educated people, people who have gone to school and experienced education. ”
"I'm an illiterate person who hasn't gone to school and knows the ballad of a penny, haven't you heard it?"
Talking, talking, Lin Pengfei sang the ballad of "One Penny": "I picked up a penny on the side of the road and handed it to the policeman's uncle, who took the money and nodded at me, I said happily, uncle, goodbye......"
Although Lin Pengfei's voice is not very good, his singing is not very pleasant, and he is seriously out of tune, but such a song that is not very good makes these onlookers quiet.
There were even some people with ashamed expressions on their faces.
Not long since?
Everybody's taking a dime seriously?
Not long since?
Everyone has also discarded this traditional virtue of collecting money?
Not long since?
Do you take other people's gold picks as jokes, and people who do not pick up gold as fools?
Not long since?
……
After listening to Lin Pengfei's "One Penny" quietly, the onlookers were full of flavors.
A second passes......
Three seconds passed......
Five seconds passed......
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
I don't know who was the first to applaud, and then the onlookers all watched Lin Pengfei applaud vigorously.
Not for anything else!
Just for this young man's spirit of collecting gold!
Just for him, the spirit and courage to find the lost owner even if he finds a dime!
It's easy to pick up a dime, but to find the owner of that dime, it takes courage and determination.
"Congratulations to the host for arousing the spirit of collecting gold in people's hearts, which is a good deed, and the merit and benevolence system system rewards the host with 50 merit points. ”
At this time, Lin Pengfei's mind sounded the voice of the "merit and good person system".
"Is it a good deed to just sing a song?"
The sudden harvest of 50 merit points made Lin Pengfei feel a little surprised.
You must know that the reward for completing this "dime" task is also 100 merit points, and if you sing a song like this now, you can even get 50 merit points.
It seems that this merit value is quite easy to earn.
Lin Pengfei's depressed mood just now suddenly became comfortable.
At this time, the applause of the onlookers was over.
"Young man, you are good!"
An aunt gave Lin Pengfei a thumbs up and said.
"Yes, yes, it's more rare to find a dime than to pick up a few hundred or thousands of dollars. ”
An old man nodded and said to the people around him.
"Brother, I was wrong just now, we shouldn't laugh at you!"
A young girl who had been laughing happily just now apologized to Lin Pengfei in shame.
"I'm sorry, little brother, I apologize to you, you're the one!"
A middle-aged uncle gave Lin Pengfei a thumbs up and said.
You must know that in the nursery rhyme "One Penny", it is a story of a child who picks up a penny and gives it to his police uncle.
The protagonist in the story is a child, and today the protagonist is an adult young man, and the gap is very large.
It is very difficult for adults nowadays to bend down and pick up a dime on the ground, let alone pick up the dime, and find the owner of the dime.
What courage it takes!
It's not a dime a dime anymore, it's a spirit, it's a legacy.
"Uncle, I give you a thumbs up!"
A little boy of five or six years old raised his head and looked at Lin Pengfei and said.
"Thank you!"
Hearing so many people praising himself, Lin Pengfei suddenly felt fluttering.
It turns out that picking up a dime to find the owner is also a very happy thing.
"By the way, which of you lost this dime?"
Lin Pengfei asked everyone again.
"That's right, who dropped a dime, hurry up and get it!"
An aunt also helped to ask the onlookers.
"yes, who dropped a dime!"
This time, there was no need for Lin Pengfei to shout again, these onlookers all asked each other.
"I didn't drop a dime!"
"It's been a long time since I've left the house with cash!"
"I basically don't need a dime. ”
Obviously, this dime was not lost by these onlookers.
A young man passed by curiously.
"Have you dropped a dime, young man?"
The young man was stopped by a middle-aged aunt and asked.
"A dime?"
The young man was confused.
"Yes, it's a dime, have you dropped a dime? ”
The middle-aged aunt nodded and asked.
"No, no!"
The young man hurriedly shook his head and said.
Who cares about a dime in this young person, does it matter if he drops a dime or not?
Unimportant!
It's the face that counts!
If you really lose a dime, you will admit that you have lost a dime, what a shameful thing!
If you lose a dime, you have to find it back, and you won't be laughed at when you go back.
"Nope!"
The middle-aged aunt was a little disappointed, but soon walked towards another person in the supermarket.
"Big brother, did you drop the dime in that uncle's hand!"
A little girl of six or seven years old asked him, pulling a young man's trouser legs.
To the little girl's disappointment, the big brother shook his head at him.
"Girl, have you dropped a dime?"
"Nope!"
"Eldest sister, have you dropped a dime!"
"Uncle, have you dropped a dime here in the supermarket!"
The onlookers were now very enthusiastic about asking the people passing by in the supermarket if they had dropped a dime.
This phenomenon makes many people who don't know the situation inexplicable and full of confusion.
Why do so many people care about whether or not a dime has been dropped?
Is there anything special about that dime?
This isn't the TV program recording, is it? Why didn't you see the camera?
Many people asked people curiously, and soon heard the story of this dime.
A young man who has picked up a dime but is zealously looking for the owner.
What a touching thing!
So more people joined the search for the owner of the dime.
Looking at these people who enthusiastically helped him find the lost owner, Lin Pengfei himself was dumbfounded.
Because Lin Pengfei found that he didn't seem to have anything to do with himself now.
These aunts and uncles, young men and women, and children are more active than themselves, asking people passing by if they have dropped a dime.
There were even passers-by who were asked several times, which made them confused.
Half an hour passed......
An hour passed......
Two hours passed......
What disappointed Lin Pengfei was that so many people helped him find the owner of this dime, but he still didn't find the owner.
"Young man, in fact, there is nothing, if you don't find it, you won't find it, you can keep this dime, in fact, it's very good if you have this heart. ”
Seeing Lin Pengfei's depressed appearance, an uncle comforted Lin Pengfei and said.
"Yes, young man, you have done a very good job, a good young man, don't bother with finding the owner of this dime. ”
"Yes, whoever loses this dime will have almost zero impact on him, forget it, let's not waste that time looking for it. ”
Others also persuaded Lin Pengfei one after another.
