Aunt Jiang and Ah Shu's home is not much better than the dilapidated house where Lin Xinru and they lived before, it is the same narrow. Pushing open the broken door, several people could barely turn around after entering.

There weren't a few decent things in the house, and Du Xiaomeng noticed that there was a bucket in the corner of the door that didn't even have a lid, and the rice in it was about to bottom out. Aunt Jiang is now injured and can't work, and after eating this little bit of rice in a day or two, I'm afraid that I won't be able to find anything to eat in this house, right?

Seeing this situation, Du Xiaomeng thought that it would be better to give them a little money, at least so that they could make ends meet for the time being. She was about to reach out and take out the money in her arms, but saw Zhan Qi suddenly turn around and walk towards the door, and then stood by the door and stared at a worn-out spoon hanging on the door frame.

The spoon was made of half a coconut shell and a bamboo a few inches long, which was smooth from the wear and tear of the years, missing a notch, and the end of the bamboo handle was cracked.

Not understanding what a broken spoon was good about, the other people in the room looked at each other suspiciously.

Zhan Qi looked at the broken spoon for a while before turning his head and asking, "Aunt Jiang, is this spoon for sale?" ”

"What?" Aunt Jiang didn't react.

Zhan Qi then said, "I want to buy your spoon." He took out his money bag and took out a piece of silver, "Is one or two enough?" ”

"What?!"

Aunt Jiang and Ah Shu involuntarily screamed in unison, their eyes widening in disbelief as they looked at Zhan Qi and the silver in his hand. How could anyone be willing to pay a tael for a broken spoon? Either the person who wanted to buy it had a problem with his brain, or the mother and son had a problem with their ears and misheard.

As if to prove that Aunt Jiang had heard correctly, Zhan Qi raised his voice a little more with a serious expression and said, "I want to buy this spoon for one or two pieces of silver." When I was a child, my family was very poor, so poor that I didn't even have a decent spoon. Later, my father made a spoon like this one, and my mother liked the spoon so much that after she died, my father hid the spoon as a treasure to miss my mother. Unfortunately, we accidentally dropped the spoon when we were moving, and my dad couldn't get it back despite all his might, and he's always been haunted by it. Aunt Jiang, you can help sell me this spoon! ”

His expression was serious and sincere, not at all like he was joking.

Aunt Jiang came back to her senses after a while, and hurriedly motioned for Ah Shu to take down the spoon and send it to Zhan Qi, and said anxiously: "If the general likes it, just take it, don't want money." ”

Zhan Qi refused: "No, I just buy it and don't take it for nothing." When he said this, he quietly glanced at Du Xiaomeng.

He insisted so much on buying the broken spoon for one or two pieces of silver, and Du Xiaomeng probably guessed his intentions. Seeing him glaring at him, Du Xiaomeng echoed and said: "The so-called gold is difficult to buy, as long as you like it, let alone one or two silver, even if it is ten taels and one hundred taels, it is not too expensive." Since the general is willing to buy it, Aunt Jiang, you can sell it to him. If you have to say that it is given away for nothing, the general thinks that you are unwilling to sell it to him and not give him face! ”

was said by Du Xiaomeng, Aunt Jiang was a little overwhelmed in place.

Before she could react, Du Xiaomeng took the silver in Zhan Qi's hand and stuffed it to Aunt Jiang, then took the broken spoon over, and said, "Aunt Jiang, the general has bought this spoon, you can put away the silver." ”

Aunt Jiang came back to her senses and hurriedly raised the silver in her hand: "This is too much......

"Just take it!" Du Xiaomeng interrupted her words all of a sudden, and kindly reminded, "Aunt Jiang, if you postpone it any longer, the general will think that you don't give him face and will be unhappy!" ”

Zhan Qi cooperated very well and raised his face beside him. He can still scare ignorant women and children like Aunt Jiang and Ah Shu with a straight face, and Aunt Jiang can't speak when she opens her mouth.

No longer giving her a chance to speak, Du Xiaomeng hurriedly pulled up Zhan Qi, and said as she strode out: "Let's go, you have a good rest, you don't need to send it." ”

By the time Aunt Jiang and the others reacted, Du Xiaomeng and Zhan Qi had already walked away.

Walking out of the alley where Aunt Jiang's house was located, Du Xiaomeng squinted at Zhan Qi who was walking beside her, and said in a rhetorical tone without any expression on her face: "When I was a child, my family was very poor?" ”

She only learned today that Zhan Qi was also very clear when she told lies, and she looked like an experienced lying.

If she hadn't heard the details of their Zhan family, and looked at Zhan Qi's serious appearance when she said that just now, she would have believed that Zhan Qi's family was so poor that she couldn't even afford a spoon when she was a child. However, the truth of the matter is that the Zhan family began to do business in the generation of the old lady Zhan, until the old man Zhan was young, the wealth of the Zhan family accumulated to the peak and became a big family on the rich side.

Zhan Qi calmly faced Du Xiaomeng's gaze and said, "Helping others in a different way can make them feel that you are not giving charity." ”

Du Xiaomeng was stunned, she didn't expect Zhan Qi to be so careful, while giving relief to others, she also took into account the feelings of others. The pace slowed down involuntarily, and Zhan Qi quickly overtook her and walked to the front. Looking at Zhan Qi's back from behind, she suddenly felt that the man in front of her was a little different from the Zhan Qi she had known before. It seems that the self who always thought he knew him very well turned out to not know him so well.

The two did not speak again, and walked to the street of Liulipo, which was considered the main road, one after the other.

In the street, several children in tattered clothes and dirty faces were chasing and playing with each other. Those crazy children quickly ran past Zhan Qi and Du Xiaomeng, shouting and making trouble, you push me, I push yours. They patronized and made a fuss, not noticing that a pot was set up in front of the house to boil water, and the fire at the bottom of the pot was blazing, and white heat was churning on the pot.

No one was watching the fire in front of the pot, and several children were playing around and soon came to the pot, and in the mutual pushing, one of the children did not stand firmly, and fell directly into the hot pot.

Not very far away from them, Du Xiaomeng couldn't help but shout anxiously when she saw this dangerous scene, and at the moment when she exclaimed, Zhan Qi rushed forward like an arrow off the string, and pulled him away in time at the moment when the child's body was about to hit the hot water pot, avoiding an accident.

Zhan Qi picked up the child and placed him in a safe place a few steps away. The rescued little child stood there in horror, dumbfounded and speechless. After a while, the child came back to his senses and cried "wow".

"Be careful later!" Zhan Qi glanced at the child, and after dropping his words, he straightened his waist and prepared to continue walking.

Du Xiaomeng quickly stepped forward and picked up something next to the hot water pot, which fell from Zhan Qi when he rescued the child just now. Picking up that thing, she shouted at Zhan Qi, "You dropped the ......"

However, before the words were finished, she lost her voice. Because, when she saw that the thing she was holding in her hand, it turned out to be a small silver box about two inches square and shaped like a mobile phone! What's more, it's obvious that it's the style of the phone I drew before!
