Chapter 955 - 0955 Capital Chronicle 3
Feng Qingxue withdrew her hand and patted the back of his dry, thin hand in return, "Let’s go, let’s go, hurry along now, this is not a place to linger. Children ought to head home obediently, and don’t venture out unless it’s necessary."
Xing Yushan wanted to say something more, but Feng Qingxue and Lu Jiang had already walked away.
"Thank you, thank you..." Tears welled up in Xing Yushan’s eyes as he murmured his gratitude for quite a while before running off.
He and his brother had been born to a pair of extremely irresponsible parents, who were often generous with others in need, but blind to the fact that their own children had been living in hunger since a young age.
This time, it was because they had loaned their wages to a couple who needed it for their wedding, simply because they were short a few dozen yuan for a big wardrobe, and in addition, they were persuaded by a relative from their hometown to steal the Grain Tickets that had been in the older brother’s possession for the last few years, and which he, in turn, had given to Xing Yushan to keep, resulting in Xing Yushan having to try his luck at the black market while his older brother was apprenticing at the steel mill.
Luckily, on his third day at the black market, he had the good fortune to meet a kindhearted person willing to help him.
The contrast with his parents only highlighted the strangers’ kindness and generosity all the more.
Xing Yushan etched Lu Xibao deep into his memory, swearing to himself that when he grew up, he would definitely repay him and his family.
