The man didn't care whether Yuan Zhou was stunned or not. Seeing Yuan Zhou say "You're welcome" solemnly, he bent his waist and bowed to Yuan Zhou sincerely.
"You don't have to do that." Yuan Zhou also bent his waist and bowed to him immediately.
The man smiled and said nothing more. Then, he nodded to Yuan Zhou.
"Sorry to bother you." After saying that, the man turned around and walked out of the restaurant.
"Dadada", Yuan Zhou also walked to the door and happened to see the man take out a wallet from the inner pocket of his suit.
"Shua", he drew out several bright red banknotes from the wallet. With his extraordinary eyesight, Yuan Zhou saw clearly that there were five banknotes.
Seeing him stuff the money into the money box, Yuan Zhou turned his head and smiled to Yuan Zhou. After that, he nodded to him and left Taoxi Road.
"This should be the largest donation except for me, Jiang Changxi, Ling Hong and Wuhai." Yuan Zhou muttered.
Indeed. More and more people came to Yuan Zhou's Snacks. After knowing the purpose of the money box, more people donated money, but only a small amount. About half of the donations were 10 RMB and 20 RMB and the rest were all small change.
This was also Ma Zhida's original purpose. He didn't need a lot of money. He just needed some money for emergencies.
Last time, someone took 50 RMB from this money box to buy something in an emergency and then specially sent it back.
There were even foreign tourists who ate with the money in the money box after they lost their wallets. There were also those who worked nearby and were hungry but didn't bring any money with them, so they took the money box for supper.
These were all small things, but it was indeed convenient for everyone.
Those who took the money didn't take it as a person who took advantage of others, but more ordinary people came to return the money in person.
"Wait. It's not the time to think about this. Who is this person?" Yuan Zhou was lost in his thoughts and almost forgot who the person was.
That's right. Yuan Zhou was absolutely sure that he didn't know this person and had never helped him.
Twenty years ago, Yuan Zhou was only a few years old. How could he have helped anyone?
"It can't be the person who helped me when I was a few years old." Yuan Zhou supported his chin with one hand and thought carefully. After all, he had been a warm-hearted person since he was a child.
"Um. I don't recall anything like that in my memory before I was five years old." As a matter of fact, he couldn't recall the naughty memories of those naughty kids before he was five years old.
"Since it's not me, could it be that my dad helped him?" Yuan Zhou was thinking about this possibility.
That's right. Yuan Zhou was only four years old 20 years ago. How could he have helped others?
Since it was impossible for Yuan Zhou to help, it could only be Yuan Zhou's father.
"I'm here to express my gratitude. But if it's my father, my family didn't even have a noodle restaurant 20 years ago." Yuan Zhou instantly thought of this matter and became confused.
Most importantly, that person didn't seem to have received any help from Yuan Zhou's father. That person didn't even mention Yuan Zhou's father.
"Or maybe they are thanking me and my dad instead of thanking me for the money box?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of a guess.
But because Yuan Zhou didn't ask, these were just guesses.
"I hope Dad can explain it to me in my dreams tonight. Please." Yuan Zhou couldn't come up with a conclusion after guessing for a long time. He could only hope that it was in his dreams.
Things were actually similar to what Yuan Zhou thought.
That's right. This person was Lu Feng. He was 51 years old this year. Twenty years ago, he came to Chengdu to work at the age of 30.
At that time, the factory he worked at was still a state-owned unit. It had good benefits and was easy. But because of the factory reform, Lu Feng lost his job.
At the age of 31, Lu Feng had elderly people to take care of and children to feed. He didn't dare to say that he lost his job.
Because this was not as simple as a blow to his family.
He wanted to find a new job before he was discovered. As long as he could earn money, it would be fine. But the reality was that it was not that easy to find a job.
At that time, most factories were undergoing reform. He wasn't a technician, not a manager. He was just a small worker, and there were too many small workers like him who had lost their jobs.
Therefore, Lu Feng couldn't find a job. He woke up early as usual and pretended to go to work, but he didn't even have money for food.
Because the factory was already providing food, he pretended to go to work for a week. The only money he had was used up.
Lu Feng didn't dare ask his family for money. Thinking of his wife and children at home, Lu Feng couldn't open his mouth.
Wandering the streets, unable to find a job and without food, Lu Feng even had the thought of committing suicide when his stomach growled in hunger.
But at that moment, he saw a sign in front of a steamed bun shop.
The sign said that people in need could be provided with a free steamed bun.
"Free steamed bun?" Lu Feng subconsciously repeated.
Lu Feng followed the sign and walked over. Indeed, it was a small steamed bun shop.
The lady boss looked to be in her forties. She wore clean and plain clothes and stood beside a few large steamers, peddling steamed buns.
"Selling steamed buns. Fragrant and soft big steamed buns." The lady boss's clear voice entered Lu Feng's ears.
Lu Feng felt even hungrier, but he stood still and didn't move forward.
He used to be a worker in a state-owned factory. Even though not finding a job for a week had dulled his spirit a little, he really couldn't do the act of begging.
"Gu Gu." However, his stomach was really hungry.
In the end, it was the lady boss who saw Lu Feng standing there, neither coming to buy nor leaving. She seemed to have noticed something.
The lady boss quickly wrapped two white and plump steamed buns with oiled paper and walked towards Lu Feng with them.
When she walked in front of Lu Feng, he subconsciously stepped aside. Lu Feng thought that the lady boss was going to leave through this way.
"Young man, did you not bring any money today?" The lady boss didn't leave. She stood in front of Lu Feng and said.
Lu Feng moved his mouth, but he was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Take it first. Next time, just bring the money." The lady boss stuffed the paper bag into Lu Feng's arms without any explanation.
Before Lu Feng could say anything, the lady boss went back to her own shop and continued to hawk the steamed buns.
Lu Feng took the paper bag and stood there for quite a while. Only when the steamed buns were no longer steaming did he leave.
As Lu Feng had stayed there for a long time, the steamed buns were a little cold, but they were still very delicious.
It was this kindness, a kindness that came from a stranger, that finally helped Lu Feng survive the wave of unemployment. However, when he went to look for the steamed bun shop again, it was already closed, and the lady boss was gone.
That place wasn't far from Taoxi Road. Lu Feng had long left Chengdu and returned to his hometown, but he would come back once every year to look for that place. Although the female boss was gone, he found Yuan Zhou's restaurant that was doing the same thing.
"Thank you." Lu Feng expressed his gratitude in a low voice.
This was the gratitude that Lu Feng didn't say out loud at that time.
Having walked to the intersection of Taoxi Road, Lu Feng turned his head and looked at Taoxi Road again, revealing a satisfied smile in his eyes.
"No. 14 of Taoxi Road. There are really many good people in Taoxi Road." Lu Feng read the address of the Yuanzhou shop and then got on the car and left.
