Xiguan is shorter than the other three streets, but it is wider.

This street is the only way for Huazun to the capital, and the most people on the street are buses and taxis, and the people who get on and off the bus back and forth seem to be very chaotic.

There is a small grain store at the corner of the street, the semicircular two-story building just encloses a corner, and the double-sided iron sign hangs under the eaves of the glazed tiles on the second floor.

This grain store Liu has a relative impression, the boss should be his father's long-term partner, and the relationship has always been very good, and he has always been called Uncle Wang.

In 95, there was a traffic light at the intersection of the street, but it was lit up a few times, and the two avoided the passing vehicles and pedestrians, crossed the road and finally reached the other end.

Behind West Street is the old moat, the water in the river has long since dried up, and now it is full of a lot of domestic and construction waste, flies buzzing and flying in the summer, plus the vegetable market not far away, so the smell here is a little unpleasant.

Liu Zhao looked at Wen Xiuyi and frowned slightly, so he said, "Let's go back after turning around, there's nothing to look at." ”

"Okay."

Wen Xiuyi raised her hand and looked at her watch, thinking that it was time to get off work, so she agreed.

The floor-to-ceiling glass window is pasted with a large red advertising word cut from a double-sided sticker, and the words 'rice and white noodles' can be clearly seen from afar.

Before he reached the door, Wen Xiuyi's body suddenly paused, and Liu Zhao looked at Wen Xiuyi's gaze. On the shadowy corner against the corner, he saw a beggar.

He should not be very old, eleven or twelve years old, kneeling there, dressed in tattered clothes, and his feet are wrapped in cloth that can no longer be seen, he should be a disabled person.

In front of him was an enamel basin with some coins thrown sporadically, and the little beggar kept waving at the crowd, wiping the corners of his eyes with his tattered sleeves from time to time, looking very pitiful.

Watching Wen Xiuyi move forward briskly, Liu Zhao knew that her sympathy began to flood again, thinking about the later generations of scammers who begged along the street in good disguise during the day, and went in and out of bars and night clubs in suits and leather shoes at night, wearing more advanced than white-collar workers, Liu Zhao smiled helplessly, and followed Wen Xiuyi and walked over.

The little beggar's face was a little puffy and had an unhealthy dish. Seeing Wen Xiuyi and the two, he didn't speak, kowtowed directly to the two, then pointed to his feet, and gestured to his mouth.

Although Liu Relative didn't know how to speak dumbly, he could probably guess that this beggar was expressing his condition and was a dumb man with no feet.

Got on the bicycle, Wen Xiuyi didn't say a word, took out his wallet and directly took out a big unity leaning over and put it in the enamel basin, that neat look Liu Zhao wondered if she often did this, but before he could react, Wen Xiuyi had already turned around and said, "Relatively, do you have change?" ”

"Ah, yes!" Liu Ji hesitated for a moment before he realized that Wen Xiuyi was asking himself to donate his love.

Nodding helplessly, Liu Zhao secretly slandered himself in his heart, although the folk customs in this era are still very simple, but he is not allowed to meet a liar, but at this time he can't tell the truth from the fake.

Liu Zhao touched his trouser pocket, took out two one-yuan bills, and handed them to Wen Xiuyi.

The little beggar's eyes lit up when he saw Wen Xiuyi so generous, and he quickly lowered his head and continued to kowtow to the two, but this time he was obviously very sincere, and his head banged on the asphalt road.

Wen Xiuyi couldn't bear to reach out and help him up, shook his head at him, meaning no gratitude, and then turned back to Liu and said, "Let's go." ”

"Hmm."

Liu didn't feel any pretentiousness about Wen Xiuyi's approach, on the contrary, he saw Wen Xiuyi's sincerity, this kind of sincerity and trust in strangers was rare in later generations.

Liu Xiang smiled and followed Wen Xiuyi into the grain store.

Uncle Wang happened to be in the store today, there were a lot of people inside, and he and his wife were very busy.

As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Wang saw the two of them, and he held the bag in his hand and said to Liu Xiang enthusiastically: "Relatively come, find a place to sit down first, that's good." ”

"You get busy first, leave me alone, I'm fine."

Liu Relative hurriedly responded.

Uncle Wang's wife is also surnamed Wang, and Liu Zhao calls her Aunt Wang, and at this moment, Aunt Wang is carrying a bag of rice to a four-wheeled cart outside the door, and when she passes by Liu Zhao, she motions him to sit on the chair by the window for a while.

Aunt Wang has always been a gossip person, she noticed Wen Xiuyi who came in with Liu Relative, so she joked with a smile: "Compared to you stinky boy, whose daughter is this, and I won't introduce you?" ”

Liu walked to the window, and said with a smile as he walked, "Why do you ask so much, you better carry your rice well." ”

Aunt Wang laughed, her slightly obese body carried a hundred-pound bag without any effort, squeezed her eyes at Liu Zhuang, and walked out in a hurry.

Liu also smiled at Wen Xiuyi behind her, she felt that Aunt Wang was very bold and like a man.

"Don't look at Aunt Wang as a woman, her strength is not small, and she can unload half a cart of rice by herself."

Liu Zhao let Wen Xiuyi sit on the chair, patted the dust falling on the single bed next to him, and sat down, and said to Wen Xiuyi.

The memory of Uncle Wang's family is still very deep, his family and his own family have a very good relationship, and they are very close, and Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang have always been strong supporters of Liu Rushan's business, all the food they sell is purchased at Liu Rushan's house, and Liu Rushan is also very kind to the character of the couple.

Uncle Wang is the same age as Liu Rushan, his health has not been very good, there is only one daughter in the family, and after being admitted to college, he settled in other places, and only came back during the New Year's Festival, so the heavy physical work of the family fell on Aunt Wang.

However, Uncle Wang has a better mind and a very accurate vision of things, and he saved some money in the first years of the grain business, so he built this small building.

Liu told Wen Xiuyi relatively softly about the situation of Uncle Wang's family, and he has been admiring Uncle Wang's good luck in his heart, marrying such a capable daughter-in-law and occupying such a golden location.

Three years later, by 1998, Huazun City would put the entire urban planning on the agenda, the moat behind it was renovated and water was diverted, greenery was added, the garbage hill not far away was cleared to make a park, and the vegetable market was moved a few hundred meters to the north.

Later, West Street became the image street of the government, and very neat shopping malls and communities were built around it, and the land price rose like a rocket, and the corner of Uncle Wang's house became a golden mile.

Liu Zhao heard that a real estate owner had bid 3 million to buy this building around 05, but he was still rejected by the thoughtful Uncle Wang.

Three million is a big temptation at the beginning of the century, but Uncle Wang resisted the temptation and left the ancestral house, but I heard that there is still a role of Aunt Wang, she thinks that this is a little thought of the elderly, and it can't be easily sold, in addition, they are not short of money, and they can leave a property to support the elderly in the future.

It can be seen that Aunt Wang is an emotional person, and her business acumen is also good, not just a role with no physical strength.

Liu Zhao said while thinking about these things, looking at the way Aunt Wang wiped her sweat outside the door and carefully calculated the accounts according to the calculator, she felt that the life of their husband and wife was actually the happiest life, the husband and wife sang harmoniously, harmonious and happy, which made people envious

A brand-new van suddenly stopped in front of the hawker's four-wheeled vehicle, and the emergency brakes kicked up the dust on the road, startling Aunt Wang, who was settling accounts.

She looked up, looking very unhappy, and it seemed that she was about to step forward to reason, but when she saw the two people getting out of the car, she suddenly stopped, and pulled the disgruntled little vendor by the way.

The two people who got out of the car were tall and short, fat and thin, wearing black half-sleeved shirts, and tattoos could be faintly visible on their exposed arms.

They slammed the car door shut, ignored Aunt Wang and the others, and walked over to the corner.

Liu saw it clearly in front of the window, he saw that Aunt Wang's face was a little discolored, and then he pulled the vendor and dragged him into the house, obviously a little jealous of these two people.

Ignoring Aunt Wang's actions, Liu Zhao suddenly stood up.

Wen Xiuyi was surprised to see Liu Xiang's reaction, she followed Liu Zhao's gaze, froze slightly, and then stood up as well.

A fat and a thin two walked directly to the little beggar, picked up the enamel basin in front of him, and then one of them stretched out a hand and dragged the child to the car, and the child suddenly picked up the 10 yuan denomination banknote that Wen Xiuyi had just handed him from the enamel basin, and shouted something to the two of them, with a look of grievance and unwillingness.

But before the child could stuff the bill into his arms, the fat man on the left had already stretched out his hand and slapped it, slapping the child who had not fully risen to the ground, and the loud sound came into the room through the window.

"Stop!"

Wen Xiuyi raised her feet and ran out of the door, almost bumping into the small trader who was watching all this in surprise at the door and Aunt Wang, who seemed to be accustomed to it, and Liu Zhao didn't think about it, and ran out after Wen Xiuyi.

"Stop!"

Wen Xiuyi's voice had become very sharp, and she ran to the little beggar's side and shouted at the two of them.

Looking at the child who was still bleeding out of her nostrils, she shouted very angrily: "He is still a child, why are you beating him!" ”

In between speaking, Liu Zhao had already arrived behind Wen Xiuyi.

His sanity was still there, but he was also angry at this time, so he ignored Aunt Wang's grabbing his hand and hurriedly stopping his Uncle Wang when he passed by the door. --------------------------------------- 6000 words a day, as a part-time author, I've been desperate, the first time I ask for a recommendation, ask for a collection, bow and thank!
