When receiving the income from the newspapers handed over by those newsboys in the evening, the shopkeeper Zhang counted the number of people and income, and couldn't help frowning and reporting to Lu Hanqiang: "Sir, today, three more newsboys disappeared with money, which is not a good way." ” When Lu Hanqiang first recruited newspaper boys, his eyes were staring at the children of the homeless people who were begging on the street and had no food and clothing, not only to reduce the cost of circulation, but also to let them have a livelihood with a good heart, but those children had no capital and could not pay their own newspaper money first, so Lu Hanqiang decided to take the newspaper first and then pay the income.
In this way, he helped many children in disguise, so that the family behind the three or four hundred children had a relatively stable income, so that they could survive in this helpless and chaotic world after this heavy snowfall.
However, trouble also appeared, not every child is innocent, and not every child's parents are not greedy, the result is that almost every day when collecting accounts in the backyard, there are always one or two children missing with newspaper money, which makes the shopkeeper Zhang very annoyed and anxious, and every time he says this, Lu Hanqiang will smile bitterly and give up so gently.
"This year's weather is becoming more and more abnormal, and it seems that the drought will not only continue next spring, but may become more intense."
Looking at the sky that began to snow again, the shopkeeper Zhang, who followed behind a group of small two people carrying baskets, muttered worriedly.
Lu Hanqiang's footsteps did not stop, but they became heavier.
I am a person who has come over, and I know in my heart that the Xiaoice River period has begun, the drought in the north has become more serious from this year, and the real suffering of Daming has begun now, and he can change himself, but he can definitely not change this climate, even if he is a traverser, then, what is left to save one by one.
"Sir, you can't go on like this, you can save one, but you can't save the world, if those newsboys are allowed to disappear with our money, then we will all go bankrupt sooner or later."
In fact, Shopkeeper Zhang has long known Lu Hanqiang's thoughts, but if he knows, he knows that things are not this way.
Lu Hanqiang stopped, and remembered the second generation of officials who found faults, as well as those second generations who were pampered, and muttered irritably: "Then what should I do if the newspaper is to be issued, but the children don't have a penny of money, so let them pay the capital first, it won't work." ” "However, now there are many small families on the verge of bankruptcy, and they have entrusted their children to find us, and we can hire them as our newsboys."
Shopkeeper Zhang retorted in a low voice.
Lu Hanqiang turned around and looked at the shopkeeper's eyes, for a long time, he still shook his head gently: "Those small families can't starve to death for a while, but those newsboys we hired don't have this income, and they will die soon, although sooner or later they may die, we should still do something, let's try to do something." ” Looking at the shopkeeper Zhang who was still arguing, Lu Hanqiang waved his hand and stopped the opinion he was about to make.
"I'm not a bodhisattva, and I can't save the world, but I'm a human being, and I should do what I can, that's my heart."
Then continue walking with your hands behind your back.
Those children who think they are smart, and those parents who think they are smart behind their children, are actually the most stupid, and the income from a day's newspaper is only four or five hundred yuan, and what can be done with four or five hundred yuan is only half a stone of rice.
It's not stupid or something to chew for this to only eat for seven or eight days, but to cut off your future source of livelihood But this kind of thing should also find a way to put an end to it, the shopkeeper Zhang is right, we are not a charity, what we can do is to do our best, and we can't let people think our kindness is stupid.
"What's the solution," Lu Hanqiang muttered, still walking into the house with his hands behind his back.
"Let's eat."
A loud shout immediately made the backyard of the teahouse cheerful, and one by one, the handyman Xiao Er put down the work in his hand and ran directly to the room with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, what have you chewed tonight" A junior newcomer asked Zhang Da, who was standing in front of the door of the room with a lively spirit: "Meat buns and cabbage soup."
Looking at the men who booed for a while, Zhang Da continued narrowly: "But there is meat in the cabbage soup." ” "Okay."
Immediately, everyone cheered.
Shopkeeper Zhang stopped, frowned and pinched his chin to see those old and new guys noisily squeezing into the room, and couldn't help but have a thought in his heart.
After thinking about it carefully, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he opened his mouth to speak, but saw that Lu Hanqiang had already walked away with his hands behind his back, and hurriedly took a few steps to catch up: "Sir, stay down, I have something to say." ” Lu Hanqiang stopped, turned around and looked at the shopkeeper Zhang who caught up: "Is there something wrong with the old brother?"
"I thought of a solution to the problem of the newsboy running away with money, and I wanted to discuss it with my husband."
It is good news that he can continue to hire stray children and solve problems, Lu Hanqiang couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and in the courtyard, he took the hand of the shopkeeper and asked eagerly, "What is the way, brother, say it quickly." ” Shopkeeper Zhang said with a smile: "Actually, the solution is very simple, that is, to buy house slaves, as long as these children are our house slaves, we have the right to arrest those children who escaped." ” Lu Hanqiang looked at the eyes of the shopkeeper Zhang, for a long time, the surprise on his face slowly disappeared, and finally sighed: "Brother, I don't care to do this method of buying people as slaves, my uncle Zhang and the Chen brothers and sisters of our family will return their documents within a year or two, not to mention these children."
The shopkeeper was silent, and it was a gratifying sadness for a person with compassion for the world to go how far he could go.
Since they don't want to hire someone with a net worth as a guarantor, and these children can't come up with the money to pay for the newspaper first, and they are unwilling to buy them as domestic slaves, this matter is equivalent to no solution, so they can only let one or two of these children disappear every day, and let themselves lose five or seven hundred dollars a day, but then think about it, they make a lot of money every day, so let's treat these losses as charity.
The more I thought about it, the worse I felt, and I wanted to find a place to drink some stuffy wine.
"I don't have to worry about food and clothing now, should I go to the city gate, thank the veteran who promised to give me a meal to survive when I was in the most danger" Look at the sun has set in the west, Lu Hanqiang thought.
Originally, I almost forgot about them, but at this time, when I was fighting with the second generation of the official, I suddenly remembered them, and every righteous person is a dog slaughterer, which is Lu Hanqiang's feeling.
Probably, the most simple thing awakens one's deepest conscience.
In fact, I am not blackened by interests, otherwise I have been so many days, and I will not forget the veteran who once had the grace of a meal, although that meal only exists in a promise, but a promise, this is enough.
Turning around to Uncle Zhang, who was following him, he said, "You go home first, bring back the food, and tell my mother that I'm all right, just go to a friend's place and walk around." ” Uncle Zhang, who had already begun to learn the etiquette of the big family, gave a decent and quiet salute, and then rushed to the house.
The current Lu family gives him a sense of belonging, and there are relatives waiting for him.
"Chen Liang."
Lu Hanqiang didn't need to turn around, and shouted into the air.
"The little ones are here."
Chen Liang immediately turned around in the corner, bowed and saluted, waiting for Lu Hanqiang's orders.
Lu Hanqiang frowned, how many times have he said that he and him will be brothers in the future, but he can't change it.
"You take some money, go to the restaurant next door to sell a few catties of old wine, and then cut five catties of braised beef, by the way, you have to have some pickles, follow me to see my friends."
"Yes."
Chen Liang replied expressionlessly, and went to do these things immediately.
Standing on the corner of the street, looking at the disappearing sunset, Lu Hanqiang fell into deep thought.
"I've actually done what happened today."

This is Lu Hanqiang reviewing.
Yes, since the last time I hurt the West Factory, the temperament has become more and more signs of the development of the king's tyrannical direction, today in order to be quick for a while, and the second generation of the official is fierce for a while, but I don't know if I have offended any big man, although I am very pious and careful to raise the old man of Hong Wuye, so that no one can find a trace of fault with himself, but it does not mean that the second generation of the official does not find his own sore feet.
I came to this era, there is no foundation at all, don't look at the current scenery, in fact, it is just a mirror, in the absence of property law, in the feudal era without human rights, a person's money is actually not his own, as long as a small official can let his family be ruined.
Now I am no longer cumin, but I have a small family, not for myself, but also for the sake of the old lady and the younger brother.
And although he is famous, he also has a royal preview, and Ouchi enshrines these two tiger skins, but when he really needs shelter, he chooses between a Xun Gui and a small novel bookmaker, and everyone will still choose Xun Gui, not to mention, the tiger skin may not treat himself as a thing at all.
It seems that my temperament still needs to be honed.
"Family master, all the things you need are ready, can we go" Chen Liang had already prepared his things at this time, and stood in front of Lu Hanqiang in an orderly manner, waiting for his instructions.
"Come with me to the city gates, and we'll drink."
Seeing this brother, Lu Hanqiang temporarily put aside his troubles, waved his big hand, and commanded with great momentum.
Only in front of their relatives did they feel that they were their heaven, and they absolutely could not fall and hold on.
"At this time, the city gate has already been locked."
The winter wind was like a knife, and the thief was cold, so Lu Hanqiang had to shrink his neck, but Chen Liang, who was from the northwest, was holding a lot of food, so he followed him indifferently.
Along the street, the shops were closed, and some of them were beggars and homeless people lying in the snow in the corner, and when they saw themselves waiting to pass, they struggled to get up one by one, stretched out a pair of hands that were as dry as reeds, and begged for even a little alms.
Lu Hanqiang did not stop, he knew that he must not stop, once he stopped, he would be surrounded and swallowed by countless beggars and homeless people.
There are many disasters and disasters in the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters and man-made disasters, not to mention thousands of displaced people, they can't be rescued no matter what, not to mention, they clearly know that this is just the beginning, the suffering of the Ming Dynasty, the suffering of the Han family will go through a long time, until four hundred years later, a great man on the gate of the Ming Dynasty made a solemn declaration that was not over.
I am not a great man, and I can't be a great man, all I can do is struggle to survive and live with the people around me.
Forget it if you can, it's only serious to keep your family first. t1706231537:
