Chapter 241 Returning a Kindness
Not long after leaving Aunt Wang's house, Li Qin heard a constant notification sound in his ear:
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
[Emotional Power +2000]
He knew very well the source of these emotional forces.
Li Qin simply smiled and said nothing.
He then went to the front yard and gave the remaining fish to the widow Ruan's family in the front yard.
Widow Ruan's family consists of three people: her mother-in-law, Aunt Miao, and her four-year-old daughter, Miao Miao.
As for Widow Ruan's husband, it is said that he was accidentally stabbed to death by robbers when he was walking home at night after get off work two years ago.
Without her pillar of support, Widow Ruan's actions differed greatly from those of Qin Huairu in the future.
Widow Ruan did not choose to seek help from others, nor did she use her feminine weakness to play the victim and exploit others.
She chose to be self-reliant, independent, and self-loving;
I found a temporary job at the textile factory through the neighborhood committee.
I also take on odd jobs from the neighborhood committee from time to time.
Aunt Miao is also very different from Jia Zhangshi.
While Widow Ruan was at work, Aunt Miao would stay home to take care of the children, do housework, and also work as a matchmaker.
Although the family lived a very hard life, they never complained.
He didn't complain to anyone.
When Li Qin delivered the fish to Widow Ruan's house, the family also made all sorts of excuses. In the end, Li Qin used the child as a breakthrough and was able to successfully deliver the fish.
"I thought giving things to others would be a simple thing, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring."
After delivering the fish and returning home, Li Qin said with great emotion.
Of course, Li Qin also knew that this was mainly because the two families he chose were those with correct values.
If it were someone else, they wouldn't have to go through such hardship.
Of course, Li Qin wouldn't give gifts to other people either.
"However, this fish gift was very worthwhile. The fish, which were of little use to me, actually brought me tens of thousands of emotional power."
Thinking of the constant notification sounds that had been ringing in his ears, Li Qin's lips immediately curled up.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just as Li Qin was slumped in the living room to rest, there was a sudden knock on the door.
A look of doubt flashed in Li Qin's eyes.
"Who would be knocking at this hour? Could it be someone from the courtyard house who saw me delivering fish and is now coming to ask for it back?"
If he lived somewhere else, Li Qin would naturally not think this way.
But considering the strange things inside the courtyard, Li Qin wasn't surprised at all that he did such a thing.
However, these are all just speculations.
Whether or not we need to open the door to check is the only way to determine.
But when Li Qin opened the door, he was dumbfounded.
He said instinctively:
"Why are there two of you?"
It turned out that the people outside the door weren't the oddballs from the courtyard, but Tie Niu and Miao Miao.
Those are the children from the two families where Li Qin delivered the fish earlier.
"Hello, Uncle Li!"
Upon seeing Li Qin open the door, Tie Niu and Miao Miao outside immediately greeted him very obediently.
Actually, Li Qin is someone who likes children.
Aside from unruly children.
Seeing the two well-behaved and sensible little ones, Li Qin's face immediately lit up with a kind smile. He then squatted down and asked:
"What are you two little ones doing here?"
Children are naturally very sensitive and can clearly perceive the kindness of others.
Li Qin was already very approachable, and now he is radiating kindness from the bottom of his heart.
The two children, who had been a little timid, immediately broke into bright smiles.
Then Tie Niu and Miao Miao explained their purpose for coming.
After Li Qin sent the fish, both families were naturally grateful.
Although they didn't have anything fancy, they wanted to express their gratitude to Li Qin, so they gave the food to the two children and brought over some of their own kimchi and pickled radishes.
Hearing this, Li Qin couldn't help but sigh. How could there be such a big difference between people from the same courtyard house?
"Please come in first."
Li Qin quickly led the two children into his home and said to them, "Uncle will accept your kimchi and radishes."
Although the items themselves are not valuable, they represent the heartfelt sentiments of the family, which cannot be represented by money.
Li Qin took the large bowls from the two children and then transferred the contents into his own bowl.
Then they returned the two empty bowls to the two children.
Tie Niu and Miao Miao were both very sensible; after receiving the empty bowls, they prepared to leave.
But at that moment, Li Qin stopped the two children.
"You two little ones have worked hard to bring things to your uncle, so I'm going to give you a reward."
Li Qin smiled and took out four White Rabbit milk candies.
When the two children saw the White Rabbit candy, their eyes lit up.
Although her gaze towards the milk candy was filled with longing, she did not ask for it.
They even shook their heads.
Miao Miao said in a clear, crisp voice:
"Uncle, we are already very grateful for the fish you gave us, we can't accept any more reward from you."
Tie Niu, who was standing to the side, nodded repeatedly.
Seeing how sensible they were, Li Qin liked them even more.
Then, I opened the two White Rabbit candies, and a faint milky aroma immediately filled the air.
Then they each put a piece in their own mouths.
"This is a reward from your uncle; you can't refuse it."
As Li Qin spoke, he put the remaining two unopened White Rabbit candies into the pockets of the two children.
"You're still young, so you can't eat too much candy every day. Save this piece of candy for tomorrow."
Although the two children are sensible, they are still young after all.
With the irresistible allure of White Rabbit candy, the two children no longer refused.
However, she still very considerately thanked us again:
"Thank you, Uncle Li!"
However, both children had candy stuffed in their mouths, so their speech wasn't very clear.
But that's precisely why it seems even cuter.
Li Qin couldn't help but pat the two children's heads before sending them off with a big smile.
After watching the two children disappear into the backyard, Li Qin returned home.
His face was full of smiles at that moment.
However, unlike his usual seemingly gentle but somewhat formulaic smile, this smile was much more genuine.
Li Qin is quite interested in many things about this era.
For example, White Rabbit candy, marble candy, zongzi candy, ginger candy, scallion candy, mint candy, nougat, and lollipops...:
He bought some sugar coupons on the black market and then bought a lot at the supply and marketing cooperative.
After buying the candies, Li Qin only tasted each kind and stored the rest in his storage ring.
Seeing how well-behaved Tie Niu and Miao Miao were today, I felt happy and, remembering this, gave each of them two pills.
It wasn't that Li Qin was stingy and unwilling to give more, but rather that he couldn't give more.
White Rabbit candy is already considered a pretty good candy, but Tie Niu and Miao Miao's families aren't very well-off, so giving them too much would be wasteful.
This could very likely lead to unnecessary trouble.
That's something Li Qin doesn't want to see.
After seeing the two little ones off, Li Qin felt even better.
So he stopped reading and started drinking tea in the living room.
