Chapter 1368: The Gate of Desire

The sun is setting and the potholes are on the side of the road.

A black Land Rover stopped, and several men got their candy.

It's a lollipop, a whole big bag.

18,750 kip, equivalent to 15 yuan.

That's all the sugar for the whole gas station.

Ban Cun and Wednesday Yan in the back seat woke up and looked at Jiang Yang with a confused expression.

Jiang Yang put the bag of candy away, restarted the car and drove back to the village.

In the village, there seemed to be more children, and they seemed to understand Jiang Yang's gesture just now, and they were all waiting there.

There are sits and stands, looking forward to it.

Until the Land Rover came to a slow stop, all the children cheered.

This time, Jiang Yang got out of the car like a victorious general, holding a bag of sugar in his hand.

He took it apart and sent it to the children.

These children snatched, and Jiang Yang sent them one by one, as if he was communicating with them.

Dancing with his hands, he used almost all the languages he mastered.

Meaning: don't rob, there is candy to eat.

In the car, Bancun took out his mobile phone and took a memorable scene with the latest product of Blue Whale.

The picture freezes at this moment.

Jiang Yang, in a crisp suit, stood in the middle of a group of dirty children, holding a pack of lollipops in his hand.

The children all looked up with their heads up, looking longingly at the bag of candy in his hand.

Some bit their fingers, some grabbed their trouser legs, some squatted on the ground, raised their heads hard, and their eyes seemed to be shining like stars.

Bancun looked at the photos on his phone and sighed, "I'm such a genius."

Wednesday Yan said: "It turns out that the real big brother's daily life is like this......

Zu Shengdong pushed the car door down, leaned on the front of the car, and took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

The action is smoking, but the eyes and ears are not idle at all, and they look at all the surroundings.

By the way, when he put the lighter in his pocket, he touched the position of the gun on his waist, and then smoked leisurely.

Not far away, Jiang Yang finally finished the sugar.

There are more children, and the pack of lollipops in his hand is even more.

So each person issued two, and then all the hot in their hands was emptied.

The children were satisfied and excited.

They each took the candy in their hands and opened it, put it in their mouths and ate it deliciously, watching Jiang Yang's eyes bend into crescents.

Jiang Yang watched these children eat happily, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction arose.

"Are you so happy?"

Zu Shengdong looked at Jiang Yangdao.

Jiang Yang glanced back at Zu Shengdong, walked towards him, and said, "15 yuan, it's too cost-effective to make such a large group of little rabbit cubs excited for a long time."

Zu Shengdong smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw it over.

Jiang Yang stretched out his hand to take it, leaned on the car with Zu Shengdong and smoked, watching the children eat candy.

"When I was a kid, I loved to eat sugar, too."

Jiang Yang smoked a cigarette and suddenly said, "But my family is not bad, and I have never lacked snacks to eat. So, I can't feel the taste of sugar."

"I was thinking when I looked at these kids."

Jiang Yang squinted slightly, paused for a moment and said, "At their age, it should be sad to want to eat a piece of candy but can't eat it."

Zu Shengdong said: "Have you ever thought that these children were actually very happy before they didn't know that there was such a thing as 'sugar'."

Jiang Yang was stunned, obviously not reacting to Zu Shengdong's words.

Zu Shengdong smiled: "It's nothing, I'm talking nonsense."

Jiang Yang said, "You want to say that those who have given to these children before, or who have given to these children, have not actually helped them, but have increased their pain and trouble."

Zu Sheng

Dong thought for a moment and nodded, "In this matter, I do think so."

"I have a cousin in the countryside."

Zu Shengdong said: "A very young cousin, when I went back, was probably similar to these children."

"He grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he eats firewood for three meals a day, and every family eats it like this."

"For my cousin, he rarely gets a snack."

"Because of the poor conditions in his family, he rarely had the opportunity to see those snacks sold in the town commissary."

Zu Shengdong took a puff of his cigarette, glanced at Jiang Yang and said, "When I went back seven years ago, I made him a pack of instant noodles."

"At that time, instant noodles were a good thing, but they were also a rare item in the countryside."

"Originally, I wanted him to taste it and give him something delicious to make him happy."

"But what I didn't expect was that since he ate instant noodles that time, he began to make a fuss every day to buy convenience for him at home."

Zu Shengdong was a little silent when he said this, and continued after a few seconds: "Even many times he didn't even want the boiled eggs he used to eat, so he made a fuss about eating instant noodles."

"His mother said that when the child had never eaten instant noodles before, he didn't know what instant noodles were, and he ate firewood rice very fragrant, a big bowl at a time. Ever since I ate that instant noodle, I've been making noise every day and looking forward to eating instant noodles. How can the family have the conditions to eat instant noodles for him every day."

Zu Shengdong smiled and shook his head helplessly: "At that time, I suddenly understood that it was I who opened the door of my cousin's desire. I made my cousin, who used to be happy every day in poverty, suddenly unhappy."

"It was I who gave him a certain desire, from a state of satisfaction to a state of dissatisfaction."

"He tasted instant noodles and wanted to eat them every day. But his family can't be satisfied with letting him eat that every day, and I can't buy instant noodles for him every day."

"So, in some ways, I hurt him."

Zu Shengdong took a hard puff of cigarette, exhaled, and then continued, "These children are the same."

"Those who have given them snacks or given them something have done so with good intentions, of course."

"But it didn't occur to them that this momentary handout would not change the trajectory of their fate."

"A bag of snacks, a sum of money, a piece of clothing, or a piece of candy."

"The giver will eventually leave, and the fate of the children will remain here, and it will not be any different. When the giver is gone, the door of the children's desires is opened."

Zu Shengdong looked at the children and said, "Those children who have never eaten snacks and candy have changed from having no desire to having desire, from being happy to being unhappy or depressed because they can't satisfy their desire."

"So, I'm not very much in favor of meaningless charity."

"I am even more reluctant to deliberately change the trajectory of other people's fate."

Speaking of this, Zu Shengdong looked into the distance and did not continue.

Jiang Yang pondered Zu Shengdong's words carefully, nodded and said, "It makes sense, I agree with what you said earlier."

"But in the next few sentences, I have a different opinion from you."

Zu Shengdong looked at Jiang Yang.

Jiang Yang said: "I don't think it's a bad thing to open the door to their desires, and I don't think that some simple handouts can change the trajectory of other people's fate."

"If a person's fate can be changed because of such a small episode, then this person's fate is simply too weak."

Jiang Yang took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Zu Shengdong and said, "Knowing that there are better things in this world is something very fortunate for everyone."

"Lucky."

"So, if you replace the words you said later, those children who can't satisfy their desires and are unhappy, or even depressed, with longing and expectation for the future, then this proposition is relatively much more three-dimensional."

After that, Jiang Yang looked at the children in the distance

He muttered, "Because what I just read in their eyes is not greed, but longing and expectation for beauty."
