Chapter 876: Waiting
When the bowl was put back in the restaurant, Boss Qiang returned to the front of the store, the beggar had already left just now, and looking at the figure of the beggar in the distance, Boss Qiang couldn't help but sigh lightly.
"Aren't you afraid that this man is pretending to be pitiful?" Song Yuanchao asked on the side. Boss Qiang shook his head: "No." ”
"Why?"
"Because he just ate noodles, I'll give him money." Boss Qiang said. Song Yuanchao understood, he couldn't help but admire a little in his heart, although Boss Qiang had a good heart, he was not stupid, otherwise he would not have accumulated such wealth by relying on a restaurant.
His actions just now were not unforgiving, it was precisely because of the bowl of noodles that the boss was sure of the other party's true identity, otherwise he would not have given the other party any more money later.
"You're a good guy." Song Yuanchao said with emotion.
"What a good person is, it's just ordinary people." Boss Qiang laughed at himself: "I also came here in poverty, so it's okay if I don't see it, since I see it, I'll help it." But then again, my ability is also limited, there are too many such things in society, and I can't help no matter how much I do. ”
"That's ...... too." Song Yuanchao understood Boss Qiang's attitude, the two continued to chat for a few words, Lin Yan and they also ate well, Song Chaoyuan paid the money and waved goodbye to Boss Qiang, Boss Qiang sent Song Yuanchao to them in the car with a smile and left, when he left, Boss Qiang also told him to come again next time, and remember to call him before coming, he reserved a place for Song Yuanchao.
On the way back, Lin Yan was still saying that the food here was delicious, and the price was also very affordable, it was really a good shop.
Song Yuanchao nodded, drove the car and told Lin Yan about the scene he saw at the door just now, Lin Yan didn't speak after listening, and sighed after a while.
"This strong boss has a good heart, and now there are fewer and fewer such people."
"Yes, economic development has also brought impetuousness in people's hearts, and some things will become less and less, which is inevitable."
"Aid to the DPRK, I heard you talk about Boss Qiang just now, I suddenly thought of our foundation, I don't have anything to do these days, why don't I talk to Xiaoyun and them, and do something?"
"Okay!" Song Yuanchao agreed that the Shenghua Charity Foundation was set up in Xiangjiang, although this foundation has been established for a long time, but in fact, there are not many real charities, and they are basically carried out in Xiangjiang.
Naturally, there are reasons for the current restrictions on such institutions in the mainland, but since the beginning of this year, the policy has begun to be slightly liberalized, although there are still restrictions on foundations doing charity directly in the mainland, especially through the relevant official agency cooperation model, but in any case, this is a good start.
At present, the chairman of the foundation is Ying Caixia, the vice chairman is Lin Yan, Li Xiaoyun and Zheng Li are all directors, and there is a professional who serves as the secretary general of the foundation to be responsible for daily affairs.
Lin Yan's work over the years is mainly in the advertising company, now their advertising company has been quite in the domestic industry, the larger the company, the business volume has been increasing, and with the continuous development of the company, as one of the bosses Lin Yan has been much more idle.
This is actually normal, at the beginning of the business a lot of work and decision-making need to be done by the founder, and when the enterprise develops to a certain extent, with the improvement of the internal structure of the enterprise, the boss will gradually get rid of the trivial things, so as to mainly control the company's decision-making and development direction.
Lin Yan's company is like this, with the development of these years, various departments have recruited a lot of talents, whether in technology or management, there are suitable professionals and positions to execute, so Lin Yan has also gradually got out of the busy specific business.
Since Lin Yan wants to carry out the work of the Shenghua Charity Foundation in the mainland, Song Yuanchao is supportive, and doing these things is also extremely beneficial to the society.
However, how to do it, how to do it, and how to do these charity works in practice, Song Yuanchao hopes that Lin Yan can think about it carefully, and he also thinks that after these works are done, as his children, he can also get some exercise through the work of the charity foundation in the future, so that they can grow better.
In a blink of an eye, the Qingming Festival is approaching, the Qingming Festival in 1990 is Thursday, and now the Qingming Festival has not been a holiday, so everyone sweeps the tomb on Sunday a few days before the Qingming Festival.
The same is true for Song Yuanchao's family, on Sunday, April 1, Song Yuanchao drove Lin Yan and the children to Gusu, they deliberately set off in advance and went out at five o'clock early, because there will be a lot of people who go to the cemetery to sweep the graves today, and go out early to avoid road congestion.
But even so, when they arrived in Gusu, they still encountered a traffic jam, and they didn't reach the place until nearly nine o'clock.
Stopping the car, Song Yuanchao held incense and candles and other tributes in one hand, Yangyang in the other, Lin Yan held Nannan, and the family of four went in the direction of their parents' cemetery.
When he arrived at the place, Song Yuanchao just put down the things in his hand, and was stunned for a moment, because he saw that his parents' cemetery had been cleaned, not only the tombstone and the tribute platform were wiped clean, especially the tribute platform also placed a bouquet of flowers and incense candles that had not yet been burned.
"I'll go down, you wait for me for a while." Song Yuanchao said a word to Lin Yan, and hurriedly trotted down, looking left and right as he ran, trying to identify something from the flow of people who came to sweep the tomb.
However, he didn't recognize anything, and the people who came to sweep the graves around him looked so ordinary, and none of the unfamiliar faces made him have the slightest impression.
went all the way to the bottom, and Song Yuanchao didn't find who swept the tomb of his parents. A few years ago, once Song Yuanchao came to sweep the tomb and found that someone had come in advance.
At that time, Song Yuanchao felt a little puzzled, because according to his knowledge, his father had no relatives for a long time, and as for his mother, because of the death of his parents, Song Yuanchao had long cut off contact with them.
In that case, who would come to visit the graves of their parents? This mystery has always been in Song Yuanchao's heart.
Later, Song Yuanchao encountered it again, which deepened Song Yuanchao's curiosity, in order to find out, Song Yuanchao also asked the management of the cemetery to help him pay attention to this matter, but two years later, there is still no eyebrow on this matter.
And today, when Song Yuanchao saw the flowers and incense candles placed in front of his parents' tombs, Song Yuanchao's first reaction was that someone had just come to sweep the tomb of his parents, and he definitely hadn't gone far, which was why Song Yuanchao couldn't wait to find someone.
It's a pity that Song Yuanchao didn't know who the person who came was at all, and he didn't even know whether it was a man or a woman, whether he was old or young.
He blindly searched among the crowds of people who came to sweep the tomb, and it was strange that he could find the target. In desperation, Song Yuanchao could only go to the management personnel to inquire again, but when he arrived at the local management personnel, he knew Song Yuanchao and took the initiative to say hello to Song Yuanchao.
It's a pity that when Song Yuanchao asked about this, the management staff looked embarrassed, saying that there were too many people who came today, and they had been busy maintaining order at the door and didn't pay attention to this matter at all.
Although Song Yuanchao had long expected this answer, he was still very disappointed. He nodded, stuffed the managers with two packs of cigarettes again, and asked them to continue to keep an eye on this for him, and if there was any news, he must tell himself as soon as possible.
It's been a few years since this incident, and Song Yuanchao has become more and more curious, who will sweep the graves of his parents? He has thought a lot about this question and inquired privately, but he has never answered.
Back at her parents' cemetery, Lin Yan cast an inquiring glance at Song Yuanchao, who shook his head slightly.
Put this matter aside for the time being, Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan cleaned up the tribute, took out the tributes they brought and put them on one by one, and then lit the incense candles, Song Yuanchao kowtowed first, then Yangyang, and then Lin Yan took Nannan.
Maybe it's the solemn atmosphere of the cemetery, although the first-time girl is curious, she doesn't understand why she kowtows, and she doesn't know the meaning of coming here, but she snuggles up to her mother and watches her father and brother burn paper for her grandparents.
Yangyang is a little adult, helping Song Yuanchao to start, and muttering that grandparents will burn more paper for you today, and they will bless our family below.
Song Yuanchao asked him where he learned this, and Yang Yang told Song Yuanchao that he was taught by the Zhang family's mother, and he had to say it at this time, looking at his serious little appearance, Song Yuanchao touched his head and praised him twice.
After burning the paper, the family of four stood in front of the grave, quietly waiting for the incense candles to burn out, and then kowtowed to their parents again before saying goodbye and leaving.
When he waited, it was already close to noon, and Song Chaoyuan was about to pick up the car and leave, but he accidentally ran into an acquaintance in the parking lot.
"Aid the DPRK, Swallow!" Shao Heping strode towards them and said hello, while looking at Yang Yang and Nan Nan and said, "It's been a long time, and the two children are so old for a while." ”
"Brother Shao, why are you here?" Song Yuanchao asked in surprise, and at the same time hurriedly asked Yangyang and Nannan to call someone.
Yang Yang saw Shao Heping, and hurriedly called Uncle Shao, and Nan Nan also shouted, looking at Shao Heping with big eyes, as if he was wondering who this stranger was.
"I'm the parent officer here, can I not know that you are here today?" Shao Heping said with a smile, and then said: "Since you're here, don't rush back for the time being, it's noon, I'll go east to have a meal and a drink, and we haven't seen each other for a long time." Song Yuanchao and Lin Yan glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time: "Okay, of course Brother Shao's meal has to be eaten, and there is a landlord treat today, which saves us trouble." ”
"Hahaha, it's a must, let's go!" Shao Heping greeted them, he also came by car, and asked Luo Yang to follow his car, saying that the place had been decided.
got into the car, followed Shao Heping's car and left the cemetery, went out a short distance and turned right and walked forward for a while, directly to the road by the lake.
After driving straight ahead, after driving for about a few kilometers, Shao Heping's car drove into a small road by the lake, and at the end of the path was a simple wharf, on which was a boat, and it seemed that this boat was where Shao Heping took them to eat.
