Chapter 279 Give a rose with a lingering fragrance
Chapter 279: Giving roses lingering fragrance in your hands
After returning the phone to Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but said angrily:
"Then I will be as bad as possible!"
After saying that, before Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao could say anything, Jiang Xiaoguo walked angrily to the girls' dormitory, and Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan quickly chased after him.
"Hey, Xiaoguo, walk slower!"
Back in the dormitory, the more Jiang Xiaoguo thought about it, the angrier she became. She walked into the bathroom angrily, preparing to brush her teeth and wash her face before going to bed. After taking a look at the little toothpaste left, Jiang Xiaoguo rolled up the end of the toothpaste box, squeezed out a little toothpaste and put it on the toothbrush.
Just when she was about to brush her teeth, Duan Jiabao's voice sounded outside the bathroom, "Thank you, Wang Wei!" When Jiang Xiaoguo heard Wang Wei's name, she was stunned for a moment, then put down her toothbrush and ran out quickly and said:
"Wang Wei?"
Not seeing Wang Wei, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao and asked:
"Where is Wang Wei?"
Luo Yan glanced at Jiang Xiaoguo and smiled:
"She put down the money and left. There are three hundred yuan in total, all on your table!"
"real?"
"real!"
Jiang Xiaoguo was very happy when she heard that Wang Wei took the initiative to repay her money. She quickly walked to her desk. As expected, there were three brand new red banknotes on the table. She pressed them with the mouse, removed the mouse, and took the banknotes into her hand.
, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but show a happy smile on her face, with two shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, like a happy child.
Suddenly, the smile on Jiang Xiaoguo's face faded. There were three hundred-yuan bills, two RMB, and one Hong Kong dollar. It was almost impossible for Wang Wei to have Hong Kong dollars, but it was very likely that Duan Jiabao had them. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at the Hong Kong dollars.
Asked Duan Jiabao:
"Who gave me this money?"
"Wang Wei, what's wrong?"
Looking at Duan Jiabao who was still pretending to be confused with him, Jiang Xiaoguo said directly:
"She also gave me these Hong Kong dollars? Duan Jiabao, you went to Hong Kong last week, right?"
"Uh, I don't remember. I went to Hong Kong?"
"I remember!"
Putting three hundred yuan on the table, Jiang Xiaoguo sat down, turned his back to Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao and whispered:
"What do you mean by this?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo had discovered that he had put the money in, Duan Jiabao spoke directly from his heart:
"Xiaoguo, why don't we forget it?"
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could speak, Luo Yan on the side also followed Duan Jiabao to persuade her:
"Xiaoguo, I think your goal is to buy a mobile phone. Then we have collected the money for you. Can't we just buy it?"
Seeing that Luo Yan and Duan Jiabao both advised him to forget it, Jiang Xiaoguo said in a low mood:
"What's wrong? I didn't say that just now at the supermarket door. What did I do wrong?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo like this, Duan Jiabao hesitated for a while and said:
"You have also seen that Wang Wei's shoes are already worn out. How about we stop embarrassing her?"
"Why did I make things difficult for her?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao arguing, Luo Yan next to her said:
"No, we feel that compared to the three hundred yuan and everyone being happy, the latter must be more important, right?"
Hearing what Luo Yan said, Jiang Xiaoguo turned to look at her and whispered:
"But everyone is happy, but I'm not happy. Why shouldn't she pay me back the money I lent her?"
"No, no, we feel that we are in the next door dormitory, and there is still a year left. We can't see each other without looking up. It's so embarrassing. It's so ugly!"
"You think I made you look ugly and embarrassed today, don't you?"
"No, we don't mean that. We are afraid that others will think you care about you and think you are bad, and everyone knows that her family is very difficult. Wouldn't it be too selfish for us to do this?"
"Am I selfish?"
Unexpectedly, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan would say that they were too selfish like everyone else. Jiang Xiaoguo stood up from his seat and said angrily:
"I thought I would let it go if everyone said this, but I didn't expect you guys to think of me this way. Yes, I am very vain and selfish, and I love money very much. Are you satisfied?"
"Xiaoguo, that's not what I meant!"
"Xiaoguo!"
Ignoring Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan, Jiang Xiaoguo rushed out the door and said:
"I am the bad guy!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo running out crying and ignoring herself and Duan Jiabao, Luo Yan couldn't help but blame Duan Jiabao and said:
"It's all your fault. You don't succeed enough but fail more than you do. Why did you say you went to Hong Kong when you had nothing to do? You can't even tell the difference between Hong Kong dollars and RMB?"
Seeing Luo Yan complaining about herself, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but said aggrievedly:
"Oh, the money looks so similar. I accidentally took the Hong Kong dollar, stone. Did Xiaoguo cry?"
"What do you think?"
"What should we do?"
"How do I know what to do? It's all your bad idea!"
"Can you also take part?"
"I was really killed by you!"
After leaving the dormitory, Jiang Xiaoguo walked aimlessly around the playground alone.
I don’t know how long it took, but fewer and fewer people were exercising on the playground. At this moment, a cell phone rang. It was Jiang Xiaoguo’s cell phone, which startled Jiang Xiaoguo, who was distracted. She took it out of her pocket.
She took out her phone and took a look. The caller ID showed Sister Juan, and it was her mother. Counting ten times silently in her heart, Jiang Xiaoguo answered the phone and said feebly:
"Hello?"
"Yeah, have you eaten?"
"have eaten!"
"Who are you eating with? With your roommate?"
"Why do you have to eat with your roommates? Can't I eat alone?"
"How do you talk like this? Okay, of course, ok, um, mom wants to ask you, you said that WeChat cash withdrawal, I still don't know how to do it, can you teach my godmother again? You said, um, that
The money is still in that WeChat account, what if it expires?"
"Why is this a problem again? Didn't I tell you? It won't expire. If you do this, open that WeChat wallet!"
"I'm calling you now, how do I open WeChat?"
"You minimize it first!"
"How do I minimize it?"
"Didn't I teach you this before? Just click on the exit call, just click it!"
"If you quit, how can you teach me?"
"I've told you so many times, but you still don't understand. Besides, our mobile phones are different. How can I tell you? Even if I tell you a hundred times, you still don't understand?"
"You kid, why are you talking to your mother? What are you doing? I'm asking you something like this, why are you babbling?"
"Mom, I'm sorry!"
Hearing that Jiang Xiaoguo's voice was different from usual, Jiang's mother expressed concern on the phone:
"Guo, did something happen to you?"
"I lent Wang Wei 300 yuan, but she didn't pay it back when it was time for her. She insisted on buying herself some shoes to wear for the interview!"
"Three hundred yuan, you said you can borrow such a large amount of money, what do you want me to say about you?"
"Don't mention it. She talks about how poor she is every day. She also says that I forced her. How can such a person exist? I helped her with good intentions. Why does she still say that I am?
Bad guy?"
"Guo, please don't cry. How about forgetting it? Besides, you have found a job now and are still in Shenzhen. You still have nothing, right?"
"So you also think I did something wrong and I shouldn't ask her for money, right?"
"Mom didn't say I won't stand by you. You said she felt it. Sure enough, she thought you should be more generous and stop being so fussy, do you understand?"
"If my family had money, would I care so much?"
"Yes, Mom"
Before Jiang's mother could finish what she said, Jiang Xiaoguo hung up the phone, turned around and kicked the iron fence next to her hard.
"Jiang Xiaoguo!"
Yuan Xudong came out of the school supermarket and walked along the track of the playground. He was about to take a shortcut back to the dormitory. When he saw Jiang Xiaoguo kicking the iron fence around the playground under the street light, he couldn't help but trot over and looked at the angry Jiang Xiaoguo.
Funny:
"What's wrong, who bullied my sister?"
"What are you talking about? Who is your sister?"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes at Yuan Xudong and thought that he was wearing the clothes Yuan Xudong said he wanted to buy for his sister. Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but blush a little and said:
"It's like this. I accidentally put on the wrong clothes when I was getting dressed today. I was originally going to give the clothes back to you, me."
"Okay, okay, I know everything!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, who was saying nothing at all, Yuan Xudong raised the snacks and drinks in his hand and said with a smile:
"Let's have a drink together?"
"OK!"
"Let's go over there!"
"Um!"
He took Jiang Xiaoguo to the viewing platform of the school playground and found a relatively clean step. Yuan Xudong spread a napkin on it, then looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and said with a smile:
"Okay, you can sit down!"
"Thanks!"
Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo sat side by side, with a small space separated in the middle, where there were scattered food, as well as several bottles of milk and drinks. Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who lowered his head and said nothing, Yuan Xudong opened a bottle of Nutritional Fast Food.
He handed her the thread and said:
"Bad mood?"
"Hmm~~"
Nodding slightly, Jiang Xiaoguo took the Nutrition Express, looked at it twice and blurted out:
"How much does a bottle of Nutritional Express sold in the school supermarket cost?"
"It should be five dollars, right?"
"Six dollars!"
After looking at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo took a sip of Nutritional Express and said:
"I'm tight on money right now. I want to pay you back the money I spent to buy clothes after a while. Is it okay?"
"no problem!"
"And this outfit, me."
Before Jiang Xiaoguo could finish speaking, Yuan Xudong interrupted her directly and said:
"It's my birthday next month, how about you give me a gift then?"
After glancing at Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded gently and agreed to him:
"good!"
“Eat something sweet when you’re in a bad mood!”
Looking at the depressed Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong peeled off a White Rabbit toffee and handed it to her with a smile:
"How does it taste?"
"Thanks!"
Taking the White Rabbit toffee and putting it in his mouth, Jiang Xiaoguo said while holding the candy in his mouth:
"Have you read the school's forum?"
"That post that says "Shocked, girls from our school are having sex on a large scale!"?"
"Yes, that's the post. They all said I was a bad person. What do you think?"
"Who said that?"
Looking at the unhappy Jiang Xiaoguo, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Humans have completely different senses of pain and happiness. To give a very simple example, if you lose a hundred dollars, you will probably be in pain for several days. On the contrary, if you pick up a hundred dollars
Money will only make you happy for one day, or even for a short time.
In the same way, as for that post with a very obvious tendency, many people who don’t know the truth, or keyboard warriors, wantonly express their opinions on the Internet and degrade you to the point of being completely naked. However, except for
In addition, there are many people who support you, such as a person whose ID is "Angel No Tachibana", he supports you very much, right?
What I mean is that for those you care about and those who care about you, as long as they support you, other people, especially strangers you don’t know, don’t care about their opinions. There will never be any problems in this world.
There will be a shortage of fools. If you argue with fools about right and wrong, aren't you yourself stupid?"
After hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Xiaoguo thought for a while and said:
"I don't care what other people think of me, but my mother and roommates also advised me to give up!"
"I think their starting point for doing this is for your own good, rather than thinking that you are doing something wrong. On the one hand, it is the friendship of classmates, and on the other hand, it is three hundred yuan. Many people think that these three hundred yuan are not worth it, so they will give these three hundred yuan."
How about converting a hundred dollars into thirty thousand, three hundred thousand, or even three million or thirty million? At that time, how many people didn’t care?”
There was no need for Jiang Xiaoguo to answer, Yuan Xudong continued:
"I think this is a matter of principle. Paying back debts is a matter of course. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how little money you have. To put it bluntly, if you find reasons not to pay back three hundred yuan, how can such a person have any sense of responsibility?
?
In my opinion, people have two kinds of wealth, one is material wealth, and the other is spiritual wealth. The amount of material wealth cannot be determined by ourselves to a large extent. It requires opportunities, abilities, inheritance, etc.
But spiritual wealth can be determined by ourselves, such as being physically disabled and mentally strong, not eating steamed buns to fight for breath, etc. Compared with the rich, the poor are far inferior in material wealth. If we give our spiritual wealth to
If it is thrown away, what does it mean to be poor?
So, I don’t think there is anything wrong with you asking Wang Wei for money. On the one hand, being poor is not a reason not to pay back the money. On the other hand, three hundred yuan is not beyond her ability. To put it bluntly,
It sounds good, as long as you are a normal person, no one can afford to pay back 300 yuan. No matter how many other things you say, they are just excuses. A few years later, when I think of this incident, I think Wang Wei will definitely regret it, for a mere 300 yuan.
Money, she lost the most precious wealth a person is born with!"
After listening to Yuan Xudong's words, Jiang Xiaoguo hesitated for a while and said:
"Then tell me, do you still want the three hundred yuan?"
"Yes, of course I do!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo with hesitant eyes, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"Having said so many great things, let me share a little story of mine with you. However, you have to promise me not to tell others, okay?"
"Okay, just tell me, I won't tell anyone else!"
"good!"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo with a curious face, Yuan Xudong recalled:
"When I was young, my father passed away. For an accident on a construction site, my boss paid more than 200,000 yuan in compensation. For the first time, I understood the truth that money can be equated with life. Single-parent families always I will receive strange looks from others, and most people will think that the other person is pitiful. I really hate it when others pity me, and I hate it when others mention my father in front of me, whether they have good intentions or are pretending to be pitiful.
Later, I went to a junior high school in the city. I studied very well and the teacher liked me very much. I still remember one exam. I got an English listening question wrong. The question was about who the Olympic champion Liu Xiang was. The following is There were three pictures. I chose the wrong one, and then I asked the teacher why I was wrong. The teacher asked me why Liu Xiang didn’t know anyone. The classmates all laughed, and I laughed too. In fact, I really I don’t know who Liu Xiang is, and I don’t even know how often the Olympic Games are held.
This is when I first came to the city from the countryside. There were many embarrassing things during this period. I was afraid that others would laugh at me for being a single-parent family, so I told others that I had a mother and a father. But the teacher knew the truth and asked me if I needed to apply. He had good intentions for the family subsidy, but I didn’t appreciate it at the time. I hated him very much. I felt that he had embarrassed me. I thought it was a shame to receive state subsidies, because only the poor need state subsidies. I I hate the poor and hate others knowing the actual situation of my family.
In the eyes of many people, these thoughts and actions are very bad behaviors, which can be said to be vanity, hypocrisy, cowardice, etc. In fact, I also know that it is wrong to do so. Losing my father is not a very shameful thing, but I know It's one thing, but doing it is another thing, especially for a child.
Then something happened. I went to a bookstore to buy books. After buying study materials, I fell in love with a hardcover version of the book "Shang Xia Five Thousand Years". It cost more than fifty yuan, but I didn't have the money to buy it. , do you know what I did?"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Xiaoguo opened his eyes slightly and said:
"You don't mean to."
"Yes, just stealing!"
After looking at Jiang Xiaoguo who couldn't believe it, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"At that time, I was in the first grade of junior high school. I studied well and was obedient and sensible. People around me said that I was a good boy. However, it was this good boy who wanted to steal a book he liked from the bookstore and use it for the exam. Irrelevant extracurricular books.
That was the first time I wanted to steal someone else's things. I stuffed the book into my clothes, and then put it back, then stuffed it into my clothes again, and then put it back again. I went back and forth several times, and I was able to do it. I could feel my cheeks burning. It was impossible for the staff in the store not to notice such an abnormal situation. A girl walked past me, then looked at the others and said, "There is a ten penalty for stealing books in the store." I hope you don’t do anything wrong. I know she meant it to me. I put the books back and then took the study materials to the cashier to pay. It was the girl who just paid me the bill. I really want to say thank you. Thank you, but in the end I ran out without saying a word.
That night, I had a nightmare. In the dream, I stole the book, and no girl reminded me. Then everyone knew about it and laughed at me for being a thief. The feeling of shame was simply terrible and made me laugh.
People feel ashamed. Some things can only be understood after they are lost. Fortunately, it is just a dream and everything can be restored. After waking up from the dream, I told myself in my heart that I can have no money, but I can't.
There is no dignity. This dignity is not given by others, but the most basic requirement that a person has for himself. For example, never steal anything from others, not even a piece of paper, not because of how noble I am,
It's because I know I can't afford the consequences of stealing. Compared with what I lose, I don't think there is anything worth stealing.
In this story, the girl who kindly reminded me is particularly important. It can even be said that she changed the trajectory of my life. What I want to tell you is that sometimes, a kind act can change someone else's life. In our opinion,
Before your own behavior is correct and noble, is there a possibility that you can try to redeem others?
Just imagine, when I wanted to steal a book, if that girl had not reminded me kindly, but had caught me in public, everyone would have gained the stolen goods, and others would have praised her for her serious and responsible work.
, or act bravely, etc., so what will happen to me?
In this matter, I was a thief, and what I did was wrong and immoral. The girl was a store clerk, and her behavior in catching the thief was correct, noble, and ethical. When this matter spreads
In the future, the girl may soon forget about it, but the impact of this incident will be with me throughout my life. A child who just came to the city from the countryside, lost his father, and was mentally fragile, because he stole a book he liked
He was accused of being a thief because of his book. I think the impact on him would be huge, even fatal."
Glancing at Jiang Xiaoguo who was thoughtful, Yuan Xudong smiled and said:
"From then on, in addition to asking myself not to steal other people's things, I also warned myself to learn from that girl. Except for some irreparable and unforgivable mistakes, I must be merciful and forgiving, and give others a chance to correct themselves.
In the face of new opportunities, I wonder if we can be more tactful, maintain a kind heart, and give roses to others with fragrance lingering in our hands compared to those who blindly insist on principles and refuse to compromise?"
"I know what to do, thank you!"
After hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Xiaoguo finally laughed. She looked at Yuan Xudong curiously and said:
"Is the story you told true? And the girl who changed your life, did you have any romantic things happen to her later?"
"Do you know what a story is?"
"what does it mean?"
Looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, whose eyes were slightly wide open and full of curiosity, Yuan Xudong took a sip of Nutritional Express and said with a smile:
"The story is a true story that has been artistically processed. At that time, I was just in the first grade of junior high school, and the "girl" was already officially working in the bookstore. Do you think something will happen between us?"
Hearing what Yuan Xudong said, Jiang Xiaoguo blinked his eyes and said mischievously:
"Isn't sister-brother romance popular nowadays?"
"Who said that?"
Rolling his eyes, Yuan Xudong looked at the petite Jiang Xiaoguo and smiled:
"Compared with those fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged ladies, I prefer smaller and cuter sisters. To those little girls, aren't mature and steady men like me particularly attractive?"
"Bah, are you a mature and steady man like you?"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes at Yuan Xudong, who was boasting about himself, and couldn't help but curled his lips and said with disdain:
"You little brat, have you ever had a girlfriend?"
"Talked!"
"several?"
"More than a dozen, maybe dozens, I've forgotten the exact number!"
"boast!"
PS:
Giving roses to others and having lingering fragrance in your hands means to sincerely help others. When others receive your help, they will also sincerely thank you. Because you have helped others, you have also been thanked by others, and you should be in a good mood, so help others.
At the same time, you also gain happiness. Remember the kindness others have shown you, wash away your resentment towards others, and you will be able to have clear skies in the journey of life.
