Chapter 57: Leading People to Good
Chapter 57: Leading People to Good
"Thank you, Atang."
"Thank you, Tangzi."
When grandpas and grandmas see someone carrying things to their door, they will almost always open the door and happily take the things in.
Some people did look cautious and alert, while others accepted the gifts but still looked unhappy, closed the door with a stern expression and urged them to leave.
Some grandmas have poor memory and will forget who they are after not seeing them for a few months. Some grandpas have good memory and will curse them as soon as they see them.
But most of the elderly people were very welcoming and kindly invited them to come in and sit down.
After Yin Zhaotang and the others declined, an old lady came up with a cup of hot tea and a cane, pouting her toothless mouth and saying, "Young man, have a cup of tea before you leave."
"Drink it."
Yin Zhaotang took the tea and held it in his palm. He saw the old lady's face full of wrinkles, age spots, and hunched body, but her eyes were very bright.
The iron headband on her head has lost its paint, which is a sign of time.
The old lady was anxious and a little arrogant. It seemed that he couldn't leave without drinking this cup of tea, but he felt the deep concern, raised the cup and took a sip, and passed the tea to Ah Le and the others.
This is a cup of Tieguanyin with tea stems floating in it. It tastes very cheap, has a strong green flavor, and the roasting process is average.
But when the boiling water in the thermos boils, taking a big sip can induce sweating, which can make your body and mind feel unobstructed while working and relieve fatigue.
With the left hand, Ah Le and a few others shared it, just enough to finish the cup of hot tea. When they returned the cup to the old lady, everyone had a smile on their face.
"Thank you grandma."
"Thank you, grandma."
Even Du Zihua took a sip and waved goodbye to the old lady with a smile.
The old lady held a cup and stood at the stairs, watching them leave, with a smile on her face: "Welcome, next time, give me a greeting and I'll give you some stewed rice."
Egg Tart licked his lips, touched his round belly, and muttered softly, "Pick, my stomach growls when I hear there's food."
"Next time, not today." Du Zihua said with a smile.
Egg Tart shouted, "Boss, next time you come back, remember to call me."
"Call me too."
"I'm OK too." Zuoshou and Ale said in unison.
Yin Zhaotang readily agreed: "No problem, keep moving things, there are still more than a dozen bags of rice!"
The number of gifts he bought was definitely more than ten households.
Because, when doing good deeds, you also have to do them thoughtfully.
In the same building, there are thirty elderly people, but only ten are given money and the twenty are not. What will the rest of the neighbors think?
Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.
But you cannot think that you are superior to others just because you do good deeds, and do whatever you want without thinking carefully.
In that case, it would be a waste of time, and sometimes it is better not to do anything.
Moreover, the conditions for this reward were very simple, and he could easily handle it with his current financial resources. He was happy to give more, not for any reason, but simply to show his appreciation.
The fortune stated that he only needed to visit once, but Yin Zhaotang felt that he could come more often. It was just a small amount of money, and it would be enough to buy grandma a bowl of vegetable and a meal.
Every time we repay a vow to the gods, it acts as a guide to lead people to do good.
Guide Yin Zhaotang to do good deeds, and then slowly lead the people around him
Now Zuoshou, Dantie, and Lawyer Hua are actually doing good deeds. When you encounter an old man with a bad attitude, your bad mood will be offset, and there will always be good rewards in the next good deed.
Of course, some of the bad boys who followed him to Kowloon had their legs and feet broken, and their families lived in garden buildings. But those parents had long been tortured by society and were numb. As long as they brought money home, they didn't bother to care about their children's life or death.
Parents who really know how to discipline their children will not let their children become bad boys.
Many children from housing estates go out to hang out and don’t return home for several years, or even ten years, or even decades.
He had already been reincarnated, but no one in the world asked a question.
"More than 40 households with elderly people have left. The Garden Building should be almost full. I'll ask the old neighbors to take the remaining milk. Whoever is quick will get it. If there's no more, don't come to me."
Yin Zhaotang worked hard for more than two hours and was sweating profusely. He lit a cigarette in the vent of the corridor.
There are more than 40 elderly people in Phase 1 and Phase 2 of Garden Building. But he grew up in Phase 1, so he had to be arranged to live with the old neighbors in Phase 1. It was his first time to respect the elderly and love the young, so he was not experienced and forgot that the store was out of stock. He will think about it next time.
In the end, visiting and comforting the poor elderly gradually became a simple activity to respect the elderly.
Some grandparents have children who are filial to them and their living conditions are actually good, but they will also send some things to them. However, they no longer care about the three-piece set, and give whatever is left.
Milk was the most purchased item, and the remaining dozens of items were left for the neighbors to take as they pleased.
Du Zihua was also shameless. He picked up a box of milk and said, "Brother Tang, I'm also an old neighbor. It's not too much to take a box of milk, right?"
"what?"
"Boss, I suddenly remembered that you and I are neighbors." A Le, Zuo Shou and his follower Niu Qiang all came to their senses and each of them carried a box of milk and put it in the car.
Yin Zhaotang blew out a puff of smoke and said with contempt, "Piao, you don't even care about your dignity for a box of milk, you have no future."
"Brother Tang, if you are promising, can you buy me another box?" Du Zihua said.
"roll roll roll."
Yin Zhaotang raised his leg and pretended to kick someone, scaring Du Zihua so much that he quickly dodged.
The news that several people were delivering things in the building had actually spread a long time ago, and many neighbors were watching.
When the old neighbors saw that there were leftover things to be distributed, they would rush over to collect them. Some aunts and uncles would say thank you, but some people would just take the things like thieves, and leave quietly without saying a word. It is understandable that they feel embarrassed.
But if some people come back to get more, that’s a bit too much.
Niu Qiang and his companions got the boss's attention and decided not to be polite to those greedy people. They took out the daggers from their waists and taught those country bumpkins how to be polite without saying a word.
For Yin Zhaotang, the final division of things was simply for the sake of a good reputation. And a good reputation only works when spoken by good people, and it doesn't matter whether those bad people hate him or curse him.
Just when Yin Zhaotang was about to go back to Kowloon with Dantart and Ah Lok after finishing his work, a pretty, plump, less than 40-year-old middle-aged woman with a charming demeanor, wearing sleeves on both hands, a restaurant chef's skirt, and waders, ran over in a hurry, and the only thing missing was a shovel in her hand.
"Fuck your dad, Mr. Yin. I, your mom, am cleaning tables in a restaurant, and you're distributing things at home. Are you trying to act like a Justice of the Peace? You're acting like a rich guy even though you haven't even grown any hair yet."
"I heard someone in the restaurant praising you for your promising future! Tell me, how much did you spend on it? How about a thousand dollars?"
"Hurry up and take your little brother with you to get the things back one by one, return them to the convenience store downstairs, and give them to me as a gift to play mahjong. That's called being successful, don't you understand?"
Tao Xiumei stepped forward and tried to grab Yin Zhaotang's ears, but was blocked by Niu Qiang's younger brothers. She was not angry, and took advantage of the situation to push Niu Qiang's shoulder, then pulled out the knife from Niu Qiang's waist cleanly and neatly, and slammed it heavily on the roof of the Toyota, showing off her beautiful skills, shocking everyone. She smiled and looked around provocatively and said, "Young man, you can't even control the knife, how can you protect the boss!"
"From now on, your boss has been kidnapped by me. If he doesn't pay, I'll put him in a dog cage. Do you believe it?"
