Chapter 266: A gentleman has a way to spread wealth
Jacques was eating dumplings when he suddenly heard Xia Xue's pleasant laughter and raised his head happily.
Xia Xue, aren't you really angry? Jacques looked flattered, like a child who was scolded by an adult for stealing candy.
Xia Xue looked at the reddened wound on Jacques's lips, and secretly regretted it in her heart. Did you just take too heavy a mouth? He was bitten on the lip and ate dumplings with garlic paste, if the wound was stained with salty and spicy garlic, how painful would it be?
Jacques, the wound on your mouth γγγγγγ stained with garlic, doesn't it hurt? Xia Xue looked at Jacques with pity.
Jacques was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Xue blankly, and after a while, he said. I hurt, and that's the punishment I deserve. However, this dumpling will only be more flavorful if it is paired with garlic paste, what is the pain? Compared to the blood shed on the battlefield, what is this small wound? At best, it's like being bitten by a mosquito.
Xia Xue's cheeks instantly turned crimson, all the way to the root of her ears. She looked away from the gaze that fell on Jacques's face, her eyes moist and slowly lowered.
Jacques saw Xia Xue's shy appearance and thought she was very cute, so he couldn't help but laugh.
Xia Xue, you're still amazing! It's not easy for you to defeat the heroes of yesteryear and win the lottery! Alas, it's all to blame for my lack of combat experience in this area. None of the enemies I encountered on the battlefield were as catchy as you, hahaγγγγγγ
Xia Xue suddenly felt embarrassed, and Jacques had nothing to say, so she got up and left the table in embarrassment.
Jacques saw Xia Xue leave with a calm face, knowing that what he had just said was serious. Hurriedly put down the chopsticks, walked a few steps, and came to Xia Xue's side.
Xia Xue sat on the sofa, her little face was red, ashamed and ashamed.
Jacques sat down next to Xia Xue and saw a white piece of paper on the coffee table in front of him, which was full of Chinese. He picked it up and tried to look at it seriously, but his limited Chinese level still couldn't fully read the content.
Xia Xue, what is written on this? It seems that the Chinese you taught me is still not enough, and I will continue to learn from you in the future. You see that I am so smart, I have even learned to use chopsticks, Chinese will definitely not stump me, right?
Xia Xue raised her head at this time, blinked her big eyes floating in the mist, and nodded at Jacques.
Have you finished your dumplings? Jacques.
Well, I'm done, otherwise I'd be willing to leave the table.
Jacques, I waited for you yesterday for a day, and I have important things to discuss with you. That is, about the sale of that necklace. That huge sum of $28 million should belong to you, because you bought the necklace for meγγγγγγ
Xia Xue's words, before she finished speaking, were interrupted by Jacques waving her hand.
No, Xia Xue, that huge sum of money has nothing to do with me, it should belong to you. The reason is simple, because that necklace belongs to you. If you don't want to go, then you can give me back five dollars. When I bought that necklace for you, it only cost me a measly five dollars.
Xia Xue looked at Jacques very uneasily. Howeverγγγγγγ Xia Xue really didn't know how to convince Jacques.
Jacques said with a look of non-refusal. Xia Xue, this matter ends here. That money should have belonged to you. If it weren't for your discernment, how could you have encountered such good fortune?
Xia Xue was noncommittal, so she had to say. Well, then, Jacques, I'll keep the money. However, this money, how to spend it, you have to listen to me, you can't refuse me! If you reject my sincerity, I won't be friends with you in the future.
Jacques frowned, looked at Xia Xue with a solemn and respectful expression, and couldn't guess how Xia Xue would arrange this huge amount.
You say, Teacher Xia Xue, student Jacques obeys orders! Jacques clenched his fists amusefully and looked at Xia Xue.
Xia Xue smiled and said. I will give half of the money to the principal to rebuild the school building and improve the school's facilities. The rest of the money is completely at the disposal of the principal, after all, this charity school has no financial resources, and it is a mountain of empty money.
After Xia Xue finished speaking, she looked at Jacques fixedly, waiting for his opinion.
OKοΌ Xia Xue, please keep talking. Jacques looked at Xia Xue in admiration.
I am going to allocate part of the remaining funds to schools in the poor mountainous areas of our country, and this matter is entrusted to Leng Zhong in his name. Then, another part of the money will be allocated to you! Let the photo album taken by you and your comrades-in-arms be released all over the world as soon as possible, calling on all mankind to maintain peace and stay away from war! Xia Xue said this, paused, her eyes moist.
Jacques said firmly. Xia Xue, I'm not short of money, if you don't give it to me, I won't ask for it!
Xia Xue's face sank and said sharply. Well, let's go, we're not friends anymore! As you just said, you didn't keep your promise.
Jacques suddenly remembered what he had promised Xia Xue just now.
He reluctantly spread out his two big hands and said. Well, I accept your donation. On behalf of all my comrades-in-arms with physical disabilities, I would like to express my heartfelt salute to you!
After Jacques finished speaking, he immediately got up and saluted Xia Xue with a solemn military salute!
Xia Xue's heart was stirring, and waves after waves were surging. Tears ran down her cheeks, dripping down, and she couldn't tell whether she was moved or shocked.
Jacques slowly lowered his raised arm and looked at Xia Xue with emotion.
Xia Xue waved her hand to wipe away the tears and smiled embarrassedly.
Jacques, you sit down first. I γγγγγγ have some personal plans and would like to hear from you. It's just that you don't laugh at my petty family. Xia Xue looked like she wanted to say something.
Jacques sat down sideways, stared at Xia Xue seriously, and encouraged her to express her thoughts with his eyes.
I want to use the rest of the money to buy a house here for me and my children in the future. After Xia Xue finished speaking, her fair cheeks reflected a red glow again, and she looked at Jacques worriedly.
Jacques smiled gently. Xia Xue, your plan is very practical and imperative. You live in Leng Zhong's house, after all, it is not a long-term solution, you should have a house of your own. I'm sticking with you! Tomorrow, I'll help you find a home.
Xia Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile. I have one more thing that I need your help with. I'm looking for a shop and opening a dumpling restaurant. The area of the store does not need to be particularly large, as long as it is warm and clean. The money I earn in this way will help me raise my children and help the charity school for the future.
Jacques yelled, very good, very good! I have a strong support for you, and tomorrow I will help you to inquire about the store. It's just that your due date is in the fall, and you are now holding a big belly, will this fatigue hurt your body?
Xia Xue said confidently. It doesn't tire me out, and I can take care of myself and the baby in my womb. Besides, didn't you learn to make dumplings too? When I don't have time, you can help me take care of the dumpling restaurant!
I? Jacques asked, pointing suspiciously at the tip of his nose. Can I?
Of course you can! Xia Xue said with a smile. When I give birth in the fall, this dumpling restaurant will be handed over to you, because we have to confinement after giving birth to a child.
Do confinement? Jacques asked, dumbfounded.
Yes. After giving birth, you have to recuperate at home for a month with the door closed and the window closed, and then you can start a normal life. Xia Xue said with a smile.
Jacques shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Our mothers go swimming after giving birth, and some of them eat ice cream in the summer!
Xia Xue smiled happily, and the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground. It's nice to be rich, isn't it? You can help others, and you can also solve your own survival problems. But there is one thing, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a proper way, and must not become a slave to money!
Xia Xue suddenly remembered something again, and stared at Jacques with a heavy heart.
Jacques, who could that strange vehicle outside the Grand Canyon drive from?
Jacques regretted a little at this time, he shouldn't have told Xia Xue about it, causing her to be cranky.
Jacques rubbed his cheeks with his palms and said relaxedly. Maybe the owner of the car is an explorer or a researcher? He might go to see the sealed cave during the day, and at night he would like to sleep nearby. You know, there are a lot of people who like to spend time with nature, and it's not surprising.
Do you see the owner of the car? Xia Xue chased after her, and her heart was throbbing.
Jacques shook his head. I didn't see anyone. How could I see if they were lying in the woods nearby?
Xia Xue put her hands on her cheeks and pondered intently.
Jacques stood up and said. Xia Xue, it's not early, I'll go back, so let's rest early.
Well, well, Jacques. Xia Xue smiled indifferently, sent Jacques out, and said good night to each other, see you tomorrow!
The next day, Xia Xue rushed to the school early in the morning and happened to meet Jacques at the school gate.
Together, they went to the principal's office and told the headmistress all the plans they had agreed upon.
After listening to Xia Xue's decision, the headmistress stared at Xia Xue in dismay, and after a long time, she cried and hugged Xia Xue.
Xia Xue, thank you! Are you an angel sent by God? Are you willing to donate such a large amount of money to our charity school γγγγγγ? But only a small part was left for himself. You are so kind and selfless, so touching! The headmistress burst into tears with excitement and hugged Xia Xue tightly.
In the afternoon of the same day, Jacques accompanied Xia Xue and the headmistress to the bank and transferred all $14 million to the headmistress's account.
As they walked out of the bank, the sun hung obliquely in the sky, and the warm sunlight shone on the excited faces of the trio.
Oh my, our students are about to have a new campus! The classrooms will be bigger and brighter than before, the children will have more food and drink, and they will have a large playground! The headmistress sighed excitedly again.
Jacques said with a smile. What is this? In the school, there will also be a library, gymnasium, and swimming pool, and the children are so happy! In the future, their study life will be as colorful as that of the children in the city!
Xia Xue said with a smile. I suggested that the library be opened to the whole town, so that all the neighbors could come to us to read. We're going to buy a lot of books, books from all walks of life, books from all kinds of subjects!
As soon as Xia Xue finished speaking, the three of them stood on the sun-soaked street and laughed.
The days ahead will be so beautiful and abundant. There is no more poverty, no more lack, and you can realize your ideals wholeheartedly, which is simply wonderful!
In the charity school, more excellent teachers will be hired to educate the children more comprehensively.
The three of them, the more they thought about it, the more beautiful they became, they held each other's arms affectionately and walked on the street carrying laughter.
