The heavens and the earth were silent, and the breeze blew through the golden sunlight and rippled like a living church mural.

On the street, next to the car, a middle-aged man and a young man, the two of them stood quietly with each other, and the inexplicable atmosphere inlaid all this harmoniously into the heaven and earth, and harmoniously integrated with the heaven and the earth.

Heaven, earth, breeze, sunshine, a young man, a middle-aged man.

There is solemnity and tranquility.

The two people in the painting immerse themselves in this strange atmosphere, cleansing their minds and listening to the teachings of the Lord.

Jingle bell~

At this moment, a pleasant mobile phone ringtone, breaking the solemn atmosphere and pulling Steve out of his trance.

Pick up your phone and answer the phone.

A minute later.

Steve, who answered the phone, looked at Edward's green face with a somewhat complicated expression.

Just now, he felt that he had received a baptism, a baptism from a pious person, a communion of his own faith.

In that moment, he felt that he had seen the Lord of legends and felt the glory of the Lord.

"It's your $100, boy." Handing the $100 in his hand to Edward, Steve took a deep breath and looked at Edward with a serious expression.

"Just by introduction, my name is Steve Charlie, and it's a pleasure to meet you, boy." Speaking of this, Steve hesitated slightly, looking at Edward's green face.

"Perhaps, it's my pleasure to know you. In the near future, this may become something I brag about. ”

"Wow, look at that, that boy made $100 from me, maybe it was his first pot of gold, maybe that's it." At this time, Steve showed American humor and said with an exaggerated expression.

"Edward, Edward Parker, it's a pleasure to see you." Edward bowed slightly, but also looked serious.

"Also, thank you for the compliment."

Other people's praise is a valuable asset, you can't refuse, you can't insult, it deserves your equal value of respect.

"Boy, knowledge and wisdom are precious and priceless. But, it has to be said, your eloquence makes them more valuable. It's worth the other $100 I pay for it. Steve's gaze swept over the clothes on Edward and Peter. After a slight groan, he continued.

With that, Steve took out another $100 and handed it to Edward.

Edward glanced at the $100 in front of him and shook his head.

"Sir, the premise of the existence of trading is the equivalence of value. You get as much as you give. Getting more than you give will make you more greedy. ”

Looking at Edward with calm eyes in front of him, Steve's heart flashed with admiration.

"Boy, haven't you heard of investment, this $100 should be my investment?"

Edward was unmoved, he was short of money, but, if he wanted to, he could make money. You don't have to be favored for $100.

Everything just now, regardless of the means, he can be said to be an equivalent exchange. But the $100 now is a gift from someone else. He didn't want to take it.

Edward's calmness made Steve a little envious.

From the calm eyes of the other party, he knew the young man in front of him, and he understood what he wanted, what he needed to give, and what he could get, and this kind of reason made him envious.

This kind of sanity will make it easier for people to succeed.

His eyes scanned the old clothes on the two of them, and there was sincerity in his eyes.

"Poverty is temporary, not the norm." Steve's eyes were full of pity, and there was no mockery.

"I'm sure that it won't be long before you change your embarrassment. However, it will take time, boy. ”

"At this moment, you need the $100 more than I do, say, to buy a new dress."

"In that country in the East, there is a saying called charcoal in the snow."

"I believe that if I pay that $100 now, I will get more in return at some point in the future."

"Now it's my pay, do you accept my investment, Boy?" Steve looked at Edward expectantly.

Steve's words were very sincere, and Edward could feel the sincerity of the other party, but the more this happened, the more unacceptable Edward became.

The calm in the eyes, without any change.

At this time, looking at the $100 in front of him, Edward's mood did not change in the slightest, which was completely different from fighting for $100 just now, not giving up an inch of land.

Because he knows that $100 in front of him is not just $100. He is even more kind and kind.

Friendship is heavy, expensive, and undesecrated in transactions, and if you want to get it, you can only return it with the same affection.

In Edward's opinion, it was more precious than gold. He didn't want to accept this heavy gift.

"Edward ......" Peter, who was standing on the side, looked at the $100 in front of him, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he shouted softly.

Turning his head, Peter's eyes flashed with longing. Glancing at Peter's clothes, old clothes, with a torn sleeve, revealing an inexplicable shabby.

Peter's clothes, which had been worn for several years, were not only old, but also ill-fitting and somewhat fat. In fact, this was true not only of Peter's body, but also of his own clothes. It's just that his thinking is mature and he lives a lifetime, and his mentality is not that of a young man.

As a teenager, clothes are always changed quickly. Poor families obviously cannot afford this kind of consumption. Buying a large-sized dress is the choice of most people, a helpless choice.

He didn't care about this, but, Peter, who had a boyish mentality, couldn't compare with him.

Kindness is expensive. Family affection is also precious.

"Well, sir, thank you then." Edward sighed in his heart, and without further refusal, he reached out and took the extra $100. looked at the middle-aged white man in front of him and said seriously.

"Sir, no matter what, I accept your help. In the future, I will give the same value. ”

Now that he had a choice in his heart, Edward no longer hesitated, reached out to accept the gift, and gave his own promise.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this promise is a little ridiculous. However, in the eyes of the parties, this commitment is precious.

"My name is Edward Parker, I live at 07 New York Road, Queens, and I need to pay Mr. Steve for my investment, now and in the future. Goodbye then, sir. ”

With that, Edward turned and left. Peter followed.

"Hehe, what a surprising teenager." Steve looked at the two young backs, shook his head, and chuckled. Then, get in the car and leave.
