"two hundred?"
"No."
"twenty?"
This number had completely reached the lower limit of Tang Nuan's paintings, and she was completely shocked.
Unexpectedly, Xiaohong actually shook her head, and then stuttered, "Yes, yes... it's two cents."
what
After hearing this number, Tang Nuanhua instantly doubted his life.
She was instantly surprised and amused, and had to doubt the authenticity of these words, "Liangmao? Xiaohong, are you kidding me?"
In what age is this, how come there are still people who are penniless and only have two cents with them
What can you do with two cents
You can't do anything!
This is simply, simply...
"Miss Nuan Hua, I know that two cents may indeed be a bit too little, but in our village before, whether it was food or water, there was basically no need to spend money. These two cents were given by my father. It was left behind when mom left..." Xiaohong explained hurriedly at this time.
After hearing this, Tang Nuanhua sighed helplessly.
In fact, it’s not that she doesn’t understand Xiaohong, it’s just that she has to think about it and remind her, “Xiaohong, I know that you may not have needed any material consumption in your life before, but you are no longer in it. In that village, life is naturally different from before, you know? In this big city, it is impossible to live without money! "
"If nothing else, the two cents you have are not enough to fill your and your grandfather's stomachs. Do you understand?"
Tang Nuanhua said sincerely that she only hoped that Xiaohong could understand her good intentions.
Xiaohong nodded at this time. Of course, she was also clearly aware that she had very little money on hand.
What can you do with two cents
Not to mention anything else, she couldn't even buy the cheapest steamed buns, let alone fill her and grandpa's stomachs.
But even so, Xiaohong still had to bite the bullet and argue with Tang Nuanhua, "Miss Nuanhua, I know you want to help us because you are worried about me and grandpa. But, Miss Nuanhua, grandpa and I I really don’t want to rely on you too much.”
"Anyway, we have arrived in a big city now. From now on, I can make money with my own hands! Miss Nuan Hua, this city is so big, there is always a job I can do, right? If it doesn't work, I can even go to the street You can also make money by picking up scraps, right?"
"Miss Nuan Hua, you don't understand. Grandpa and I really don't want to owe you any more. You have helped us so much, and we really can't pay you back."
To put it bluntly, Xiao Hong felt that she owed Tang Nuan too much for her paintings, and she was afraid that she would not be able to repay her in the future.
But in Tang Nuanhua's heart, she never thought about asking Xiaohong to repay anything, because she was just returning Quan Zhichen's favor.
Thinking of this, Tang Nuanhua had no choice but to sigh heavily, and then patiently explained to Xiaohong.
"Xiaohong, you can't just think about many things one-sidedly."
"Although you do have hands and feet and the ability to work now, do you think you have read a book? How many words do you know? How competitive can you be with others in this city?"
"Even if you are picking up waste, do you think there are so many wastes all over the street for you to pick up? There are so many people picking up waste, how many bottles can you pick up?"
"I… "
At this time, Xiaohong was completely speechless by Tang Nuanhua's words.
She had to admit that everything Tang Nuanhua said made sense.
After all, she was in this city and was unfamiliar with the place. It was indeed very difficult to provide for herself and her grandfather with her own efforts.
"Xiaohong, just listen to my advice!"
In desperation, Tang Nuanhua had no choice but to forcefully put the wad of money into Xiaohong's hand again, and patiently advised, "Take this money back and live a good life with grandpa first. As for finding a job, Can you take things slowly in the future?"
"But… "
"Also, don't think that you and your grandfather owe me anything. You don't owe me anything. Even if you owe me, you still owe Quan Zhichen."
Tang Nuanhua explained calmly, "If Quan Zhichen hadn't saved me at the beginning, maybe I would have been the one who fell off the cliff. So, I owe Quan Zhichen his life. And Xiaohong, you are Quan Zhichen I am my savior. Now that Quan Zhichen is ill, I should repay you by helping him. There is no such thing as saying that you owe me anything, do you understand?"
"On the contrary, if you don't accept my kindness, Quan Zhichen may think that I have wronged you. When the time comes, how do you want me to explain to him?"
"And Xiaohong, even if you don't think about me, you should think about yourself. Even if you consider the food and clothing issues for you and grandpa, don't refuse my kindness, okay?"
Tang Nuanhua said so earnestly.
Xiaohong finally felt a little moved in her heart.
She could see that Tang Nuanhua was sincerely doing it for her own good, and she couldn't help but feel very moved, with tears faintly flashing in her eyes, "Miss Nuanhua, why are you so kind?"
"This is not because I am a nice person, but a practical issue that you must consider." Tang Nuanhua said kindly.
Putting the wad of money in Xiaohong's hand again and holding it tightly, Tang Nuanhua held her hand tightly and said, "Just listen to me, accept this money, and live a good life with grandpa first."
"I will arrange a place for you to study in a while. Don't rush to find a job first. Learn knowledge first. After all, in this society, knowledge is the capital. Of course, if you want to use your spare time Time, find some part-time jobs, no one will stop you anymore.”
"Also, if you really feel that you owe me something, then you can wait until you make money in the future and then return the ten thousand yuan to me. Is that okay? Just treat it as if you borrowed it from me. Money, okay?”
When Tang Nuanhua said this, it could be said that he was especially thinking about Xiaohong.
"Sister Nuan Hua..."
After hearing Tang Nuan Hua's words, Xiao Hong certainly understood Tang Nuan Hua's good intentions. She was so moved that she almost shed tears.
Tang Nuanhua still just smiled indifferently, reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of Xiaohong's eyes, and said comfortingly, "Okay, you are a big girl now, don't shed tears easily."
"It's getting late. Just send me here. Go back quickly. I'll come back tomorrow to make up for all the missing things at home. Also, I'll let you know when you go to school. It was arranged. As for the money..."
