Lu Ming told everyone about meeting the old beggar and the shopkeeper Zhu, and everyone understood the reason.

Han Xiao said: "It's also strange to say, the shopkeeper Zhu has indeed changed a lot, I have long heard that he is a well-known smiling tiger, a miser, but suddenly he seems to have changed a person, and he actually ran to the book store to read when he had nothing to do." ”

"Don't say it, Shopkeeper Zhu has indeed done a lot of good things during this time, and I think it may be that he has really changed his past mistakes and is determined to be a good person. Chen Jun said with emotion.

"If that's the case, I don't worry about the old beggar. ”

Lu Ming's face then became solemn: "Now the people are living in hardship, and it is okay to be rich in the prefecture and prefecture cities, but when you come to our county, beggars are really everywhere." ”

"Poor beggars......"

Han Xiao said: "No culture and illiterate, often bullied and humiliated, sick and have no money to treat, even if he has money, there may not be a doctor to treat him, everyone is old, weak, sick and disabled, you want to ask them to work, their bodies can't bear it, it's really a big head!"

Lin Xiaoyan saw that the atmosphere was not good, so he smiled and said: "Let's talk less about these unhappy things, finally everyone gets together, we should drink wine in a big bowl, eat meat in a big piece, empty of this sympathy, it is better to do more good things in the future, as long as everyone does their best, I believe that there will be fewer and fewer beggars in the future." ”

"Miss Lin is right, come, everyone has done this bowl of wine!"

"!"

Tonight, everyone drank and enjoyed themselves until late at night.

............

The next day.

The old beggar said goodbye to Zhu Ji Restaurant alone, although the shopkeeper Zhu tried his best to keep it, but he still couldn't resist the old man, so he had to stuff him with some silver and two back.

The old beggar was immediately grateful, bowed and saluted, and took his leave on crutches.

Watching the old beggar leave, Shopkeeper Zhu kept sighing: "It's pitiful, it's pitiful, it's pitiful!"

Then he returned to the deserted shop and continued to read his sage books.

The old beggar walked down the street all the way to the south, stopping in front of a private school, where the sound of many young children reading aloud was very crisp.

He sat outside on the stone steps and listened, as if he had heard the most beautiful voice in the world, with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, a boy ran out of it, threw away the book in his hand, patted his butt and swaggered away.

"Stop!"

The old beggar had a serious face, got up and stopped the boy, and scolded loudly: "Little child, you don't study well, what are you doing when you run out?"

"Yes...... It's a beggar......"

When the boy saw the old beggar, he immediately cast a disgusted look and hurriedly retreated.

"Stinky boy, are you trying to skip class?", the old beggar said angrily.

"What about skipping class?

After the boy dropped this sentence, he ran away without looking back.

"You...... You...... I'm so!"

The old beggar knocked on the cane and his face was flushed, and when he saw that he couldn't get the boy back, he sighed helplessly: "It's sad and sad that you don't read books at a young age!"

Then he returned to where he had been seated, and this time he had been sitting for a morning.

"Boom!"

When the school bell rang, the children in the school came home in groups, and the old beggar smiled with relief when he looked at these smiling children.

After a while, a middle-aged teacher came out, and when he saw the old beggar, his face immediately changed, and he looked around, and only after there was no one around, did he walk in front of the old beggar and bow deeply.

"You can't do it, you can't do it, you are a gentleman, you can't do it. ”

The old beggar hurriedly stood up, and as he spoke, he took out a small burden from his bosom and handed it to Mr. Teach.

"This is the money I begged for, and I will use it to buy more books for the children, so don't waste it. ”

"You've worked hard, and I've done it for you on behalf of the children and their parents. ”

Mr. Teacher took the silver tremblingly, and then with a burst of thanks, he threw it to the ground.

"You have said that you are not allowed to do this, why don't you listen, and if you are seen by others, you will not be discredited!

After the old beggar finished speaking, he left the school on crutches, but the teacher behind him kept a saluting posture.

After a long time, a young voice sounded: "This gentleman, who are you worshipping?

"Ah...... Oh...... Oh......"

Mr. Teach puffed up his chest and saw a young scholar looking at him with a smile, "You...... Eh...... You're not that ...... That who ......"

"Xiaosheng Lu Ming, I have seen Mr. Qi. ”

"I remember, you are Lu Ming, this year's champion!"

Mr. Qi finally remembered Lu Ming's name, and hurriedly smiled: "I really didn't expect that the children who used to study and learn calligraphy in my school are now so promising, it's really good!"

"Mr. Qi has won the prize!"

"You are now a Wenhou, you should be very busy, why do you have time to come and see me?"

"I have something to do when I go back to Jiang County, so I will take a look at the Mengxue private school in my childhood, I haven't seen Mr. Qi for a long time, and I miss it a little, can I invite the students to have a cup of tea?"

"Of course, I can't ask for it, please come in!"

Mr. Qi happily welcomed Lu Ming into the school, brought him to the living room to entertain, and made a cup of fragrant tea himself.

Lu Ming took a sip and said with a smile: "This tea is full of the taste of childhood, and it is still so sweet!"

"Haha...... I knew you liked it. ”

"By the way, Mr. Qi, with all due respect, as a dignified Mr. Mengxue and a man of scholarly background, why would you give a big gift to an old beggar?

"You...... Did you see that?"

Mr. Qi's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "You can't say this, otherwise I'll be sorry for him!"

"Mr. Qi, you don't have to worry, you should know exactly what my Lu Ming is, but since I ran into it, I want to know the reason, maybe...... How can I help. ”

"This ......"

Mr. Qi hesitated, "But I promised him that I can't tell anyone else, no, absolutely not." ”

"Mr. Qi doesn't want to say it explicitly, and the students will naturally not be reluctant, so I didn't ask!"

Lu Ming smiled indifferently: "But I'm very curious, why did the old beggar give the begged silver taels to Mr. Qi......?

"No! It's not like that! Don't think nonsense!", Mr. Qi's face changed in shock.

"No way, Mr. Qi doesn't want to elaborate, and it's hard to guarantee that others won't speculate!"

"I'm really scared of you!"

Mr. Qi knocked Lu Ming's head with a ring ruler, and the next moment he realized his faux pas, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to educating students like this." ”

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all. Lu Ming said with a smile.
