Chapter 2 Good people are rewarded
"Sir, this time it's really thanks to you, if you hadn't helped me open the doctor's door, I wouldn't know what to do as a lonely woman in the middle of the night." After leaving the hospital, the woman thanked Chen Chao vigorously, and the child had a fever and fell asleep in the woman's arms.
"Sir, sir......"
Seeing that Chen Chao was silent, the woman hurriedly reminded two more sentences.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, that's what I'm supposed to do." Chen Chao responded that the reason why he was distracted was because the five-color rope he was wearing on his wrist suddenly burst into a white light, and the words prestige plus 50 appeared in the white light.
"Is it possible that you can gain prestige just by doing good deeds?" Chen Chao thought in his heart, it should be eight or nine to ten, the old man asked me to earn 200 prestige and then go to the teahouse to find him, now that I have helped the woman, I have earned 50 prestige, and I have to earn 150 prestige.
"Sir, you are too modest, now that everyone in this world is sweeping the snow in front of their own doors, there are really too few people who can help people." The woman sighed with emotion, and then asked, "By the way, sir, your surname, where do you live?" ”
The woman noticed that Chen Chao had dew drops on his hair and his clothes were also very damp, and he had obviously been wandering in the open air for a long time, so she asked.
Chen Chao replied a little embarrassed: "My surname is Chen, I have been studying abroad for the past few years, and I only recently returned to the capital to join my old friend, but who knew that my old friend had already moved away......"
Since everyone regards him as a scholar who stayed abroad, Chen Chao might as well use this to make up an identity for himself, which is also conducive to better integrating into the world.
Hearing Chen Chao say this, the woman also had a bottom in her heart, this man was obviously in a predicament and had no fixed place to live.
The woman glanced at Chen Chao and smiled: "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be a university scholar...... Do you think this will work, I still have extra room at home, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, why don't you come to my house for a while, okay? ”
"This ...... It's not good......" Chen Chao looked at the woman, there was a little hesitation in his eyes, he was penniless now, the inn would definitely not work, there was nowhere to go, but he went to her house with a woman in the middle of the night, and was seen by her man, didn't he hurt others?
The woman is a person who has come over, how can she not understand the meaning in Chen Chao's eyes, and explained: "Mr. Chen don't worry, I am a widow, the man died at sea last year, leaving only one child, there are only two of us in the huge family, Mr. Don't worry too much, come home with me." ”
Chen Chao couldn't think of any other solution for a while, so he could only agree: "In this way, thank you Auntie." ”
……
Chen Chao followed the woman to the house.
Standing in the courtyard, Chen Chao's gaze swept over several houses and asked, "Auntie, your family is quite big." ”
Being able to have such a large mansion in the capital, it can be seen that the woman's husband must have had a good family background when he was alive.
The woman smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is smiling, the only thing my dead ghost left for the two of us is this mansion." By the way, Mr. Chen, my surname is Liu, if you don't dislike it, just call me Aunt Liu. Mr. Chen, don't stand outside, come in and sit. ”
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Chen Chao walked into the house.
Aunt Liu put the child in the cradle, turned around to find a cup, made a cup of tea for Chen Chao, and said attentively: "Mr. Chen, have a cup of tea." ”
"Thank you."
Chen Chao took a sip of the teacup.
Aunt Liu noticed that under the reflection of the candlelight, Chen Chao's face was very pale, and his face was vegetable.
"Mr. Chen, are you alright? Your face is ugly. Aunt Liu asked worriedly.
Can Chen Chao's face not be ugly? Before the crossing, it was already in the terminal stage of a terminal illness, with less than fifteen days to live, which can be said to be terminally ill.
But Chen Chao couldn't tell others about his terminal illness, so he couldn't worry about others, so he could only say embarrassedly: "Let Aunt Liu smile, my money was stolen on the way to my old friend, and I didn't eat a grain of rice for half a day, so I ......."
Aunt Liu stroked her forehead with her hand and said reproachfully, "Mr. Chen, why didn't you say it earlier?" You sit here for a while, I'll give you a hot meal, and it'll be good right away. ”
Aunt Liu gave Chen Chao a good meal, boiled water for him to wash, cleaned up the room for him to rest, and served him in all aspects, which made Chen Chao embarrassed, just a little help to Aunt Liu, but she disturbed so many people, no wonder she was embarrassed.
……
The next morning.
When Chen Chao got up and came to the yard, he found that Aunt Liu was tidying up a cart with some seasonal fruits on it.
"Hey, Aunt Liu, are you up so early?" Chen Chao stepped forward to say hello.
Aunt Liu tore off the towel around her neck to wipe her sweat, and said with a smile: "Get up and go out of the stall early, no matter what, you have to make more money to pull the child up...... By the way, there is breakfast in the kitchen, coarse tea and light rice, if Mr. Chen doesn't dislike it, just deal with it and eat some. ”
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Chen Chao was full of food and drink, and saw that Aunt Liu was laboriously moving a basket of fruits onto the cart.
"Aunt Liu, I'll help you."
"Oh, how can I let Mr. Chen help me do this kind of rough work, Aunt Liu can do it alone."
"How can it be? This rough work is all done by men, and I have left it to me. ”
Ignoring Aunt Liu's opposition, Chen Chao volunteered to help load all the fruits, and the five-colored rope on his wrist shimmered, and he successfully gained 5 prestige points, with a total of 55 prestige points.
Sure enough! As long as you help people, you can gain prestige.
Aunt Liu was quite grateful, and tore off the towel to wipe Chen Chao's sweat. Originally, doing such a small job would not sweat much at all, but Chen Chao was terminally ill and his body was very weak, and sweating was something he couldn't do.
"Mr. Chen, I'm going to the street stall, you can take the key, I can live as long as you want." Aunt Liu said, handed over a spare key to Chen Chao, and picked up the child and put it in the cart.
"Aunt Liu, I'll still accompany you to the street, the child had a fever last night, it's best to take it to the hospital again to have a look, if there is any accident, I can also take care of it." Chen Chao said, there is no doubt that there will still be prestige.
"This ......" Aunt Liu originally wanted to refuse, after all, it was enough to trouble Chen Chao, but considering that the child's condition was still unstable, someone could take care of it and solve the urgent need, so she agreed: "Then thank you Mr. Chen." ”
……
Chen Chao accompanied Aunt Liu to the market stall.
Many acquaintances saw Chen Chao, who was dressed in a dress, helping to set up a stall, and was busy with it, and joked with Aunt Liu kindly under curiosity.
"Auntie, did you find a new partner so soon? is still a foreign gentleman, and now he has found a good father for his children. ”
"But no, his aunt is so lucky, she is blessed to find someone who has drunk foreign ink, and when she drinks the wedding wine, you must remember the villagers?"
"He died early in the New Year, his aunt, you have such a good blessing, but you must cherish it, Mr. Yang is so diligent in his hands and feet, no worse than the New Year, treat others well!"
The villagers were joking, and Aunt Liu's face turned red when you said a word, and she hurriedly explained: "Fellow villagers, don't talk nonsense, Mr. Chen is here to visit the capital province, he is a good person, the child is sick, Mr. Chen has been helping to take care of it, not what everyone thinks." ”
"Oh, I see, a learned person has a different heart, his aunt, you must thank Mr. Chen." The villagers are full of praise, and helpful people deserve to be respected.
