Chapter 280: Filial Piety Comes First
Liu Xiaoniu is a small person among the army of poor people selling newspapers.
When he put on a shoulder bag for the first time in his life, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The shoulder bag was bulging with a hundred copies of the Youth Evening News.
He didn't know what was written on it.
All he knows is that by selling this newspaper, he will have food to eat and a bed to sleep on.
As soon as he reached the street, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Selling newspapers! The new Youth Evening News..."
Although the words "newly released" are not appropriate to use in the Youth Evening News, Liu Xiaoniu's vocabulary can only allow him to come up with such a word.
"Hey, kid, come here!"
Not far away, a shop owner waved to him.
Liu Xiaoniu walked over quickly.
"What were you calling just now?"
Liu Xiaoniu pointed to the newspaper in his shoulder bag:
"I'm selling newspapers. Boss, do you want one? The freshly-baked newspapers look great."
The boss is idle and bored, and it’s not time to serve customers yet:
"How much?"
"A dollar."
"Oh, that's not expensive, let's have one."
If time could go back, this boss would slap himself in the face and then pay him a hundred dollars:
"I bought the hundred newspapers in your bag!"
In this way, his two sons would not fight each other when the family property was divided. There was only one copy of the first issue of Youth Evening News.
Of course, this is something.
The first customer of Youth Evening News handed over one yuan and took the newspaper from Liu Xiaoniu.
The aroma of the ink is still there, which makes people feel peaceful.
The impetuous boss suddenly felt refreshed and sat quietly reading the newspaper.
Although the newspaper only has two pages, it contains quite a lot of content.
On the first page of the newspaper, there is the first article of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
Examine the city god.
Kao Chenghuang tells an ancient story.
It is about a scholar named Song who was reading at home. Suddenly someone came riding a horse to invite him to take an exam.
He was a little confused, but still answered seriously.
It wasn't until he finished the questions that he realized that it was a god who was examining him.
And his test questions are exactly the test questions for the position of City God.
The test question only has eight words
"One person and two people, intentional or unintentional"
Song Shusheng wrote: "If you have the intention to do good, you will not be rewarded even if you are good; if you have no intention of doing evil, you will not be punished even if you are evil."
The city god is the patron saint of a city.
Before the scholar surnamed Song took office, he suddenly remembered that there was an old mother in her seventies who came from home, and suddenly panicked.
He hurriedly asked God:
"There is still an old mother in her seventies at home. No one will support her after I leave. Please allow me to delay taking office to support her in her old age."
God agreed.
For nine years, Song Shusheng devoted his filial piety to his mother.
On the day his mother died, Scholar Song took a shower and changed clothes, then lay peacefully in the coffin and passed away.
That day, Scholar Song's neighbor had a dream, in which he dreamed that Scholar Song was riding a magnificent horse and saying goodbye to him.
The neighbor got up the next morning and found out that the scholar was dead.
This story is very short.
The boss saw it and couldn't help but feel happy.
How funny, if you can become a god, who can wait nine years?
It's like having a tube of mutant potion by his side. How could he endure not using it for nine years?
Give me a break!
After turning over the pages, the boss suddenly saw a little poem.
Mother hands line, wandering clothing.
Departure thick seam, meaning fear of delay in return.
Whoever speaks of an inch of grass will be rewarded with three rays of spring light.
This poem? The man read it twice silently.
A wave of memories came to mind.
A story about filial piety did not move him. A poem made this boss burst into tears.
Tears couldn't help but wet the newspaper in front of him.
He never thought that the contents of this newspaper did not even mention a word about superpowers.
He never thought that he would break through the defense because of a newspaper.
The real reason for breaking the defense was that he missed someone.
A frail figure who gave birth to him and raised him.
This boss is called Zhao Ke.
He is not a native of Jinling. He lives in the countryside not far from Jinling.
Nowadays, life in the countryside is not easy due to mutant beasts.
On weekdays, you can only grow vegetables near the village. In summer, you dare not go near the water to avoid being invaded by mutant beasts.
Zhao Ke's mother, under extremely difficult circumstances, saved up the capital to send Zhao Ke to Jinling City by selling the vegetables she grew at the market.
Zhao Ke has no supernatural talent, so it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jinling City.
When he was looked down upon by others and despised by others, he often questioned himself:
"Why should I be born in the country?"
After he became ruthless and finally owned a shop in Jinling, he could finally relax.
At this time, he thought of his mother and wanted to bring her to Jinling.
His mother pushed back, fearing that it would implicate him and hold him back.
When Zhao Ke heard the word "holding back", he actually felt that what his mother said made sense.
That's right.
If it weren't for the fact that I was born in the country, I should have survived!
Since there is no Internet connection in the countryside, it is inconvenient for Zhao Ke's mother to call him.
So every time, she wrote a letter and sent it to Jinling.
At first it was one letter every half month, then one letter every month.
Looking back now, Zhao Ke seems to have not received a letter from his mother for two or three months.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ke couldn't help but panic.
He rummaged in the store for a long time before he found the letter.
In the letter, my mother was still chatting about home affairs.
Just in words, I wanted him to go back and visit, saying that I wanted to make him something he loved to eat when he was a child.
He felt something was not good, what happened next?
Zhao Ke ran to the post office like crazy and checked his mail before the post office employees got off work.
There are indeed no letters.
Zhao Ke suddenly felt that the sky was falling.
not....
Returning to the store, he gave some instructions to the clerk and hurried out.
The clerks were a little confused, but nodded.
Workaholic boss, where are you going now?
When meal time arrived, the store began to fill up.
A customer ordered his meal and was sitting there waiting when he accidentally saw the newspaper next to him.
Um?
Youth Evening News.
open to take a look.
15 minutes later, the waiter came up with a dinner plate:
"Sir, your braised chicken..."
The customer raised his head and his eyes were red from crying.
The waiter was shocked and thought he was serving the food too slowly, which made the customer cry.
The customer waved his hands and burst into tears.
This kind of thing happened once in Jinling.
In a world where everyone thinks about superpowers and everyone wants to be a superpower.
An ancient poem about an ordinary scholar's filial piety has gently entered the dreams of a group of people.
Filial piety comes first among all good deeds.
