Late August, this special period.

A man-made disaster swept in like a storm.

The severity of the tragedy is shocking.

Countless innocent people were involved in it, their property was wantonly trampled upon, and their life safety was out of the question.

After careful consideration, Lou Xiao'e decided to open a porridge shop.

Aims to do our bit to help during this turbulent time.

Her porridge shop doesn't need to be luxurious, it just needs to be humane.

Only rice porridge and millet porridge are provided, accompanied by two-grain steamed buns and a few pickles.

Lou Xiaoe thought of two business models: "One is to benefit the surrounding people at cost price, so that everyone can enjoy the benefits and warmth.

The second is to provide free meals especially for those innocent people who have been persecuted.”

Give them the most direct help through practical actions.

This idea was fully supported by her husband Xu Damao.

After get off work, the two began looking for a suitable shop.

Fortunately, they found this noodle shop eager to sell in an inconspicuous corner.

Although the store is not big, it only consists of three shops, and the attached courtyard is only big enough to store firewood and sundries.

But considering the current difficult situation, business is hard to do, and housing prices have also dropped accordingly, this shop that costs only 200 yuan seems particularly cost-effective.

The two of them completed the transaction quickly without much hesitation, as if they were pressing the start button for a new life that was about to begin.

The layout of the porridge shop is simple and practical.

The largest room was converted into a kitchen, with two stoves set up for steaming buns and cooking porridge.

The other two rooms are furnished with several sets of tables, chairs and benches, providing a simple dining space for guests who come to drink porridge.

A counter was built at the window to sell steamed buns and pickles.

Zhu Zirui helped find a family of four from Shandong Province to help run the porridge shop.

This family is hardworking and simple, and they are busy from morning to night.

Their figures have become the most moving scenery in the porridge shop.

Lou Xiao'e saw it and kept it in mind.

After the porridge shop opens, if this family performs well, he plans to entrust the porridge shop to them.

I retreat behind the scenes and continue to quietly pay attention to those who need help.

For her, the porridge shop is not a means of making a living.

It is only during this special period that more innocent people can feel the warmth of the world.

Even just a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge can be the strength for them to move forward.

It was the third day after the opening of "Fu'an Porridge Shop".

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the bluestone path of Mao Yingxiaozhu. Zhu Zirui's bicycle drew rapid melodies in the air and finally stopped abruptly at the doorstep.

He was panting, looking solemn, and he pushed open the door and called out urgently: "Sister E, it's bad, something happened!"

Lou Xiao'e was busy in the house. She was shocked by the sudden news and her work slipped away. She was full of astonishment and asked, "Ruizi, what happened?"

Xu Damao, who was standing nearby, also came over after hearing the noise, his face full of concern: "Tell me quickly, who got into trouble?"

Zhu Zirui took a deep breath and tried to calm down: "It was Professor Guo and his wife, they...they were arrested.

My grandmother told me the news as soon as I stepped into the house.

I came to find you right away."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, her body swayed slightly, as if she was hit by an invisible hammer.

Professor Guo is an indispensable mentor in Zhuang Junwei’s life. How could she forget their kindness?

I had neglected this important trust in my busy schedule, and I was suddenly filled with endless guilt and self-blame.

"Before Junwei left, he repeatedly told us to take good care of the teacher and his wife.

But I…I actually forgot!" Lou Xiao'e's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were red. "If something goes wrong with them, how can I explain it to Junwei?"

Seeing this, Xu Damao hurried forward to support his wife and said, "Don't worry, let's go find our godfather now.

No matter how great the difficulties are, we must bring Professor Guo and his wife back safely.

This is our commitment to Junwei and also our conscience as human beings.”

So the three of them hurriedly packed up and set out on the road to rescue Professor Guo and his wife, full of anxiety and determination.

As soon as I stepped into my godfather's yard, a warm scene came into view.

"The old naughty boy godfather and the naughty Xu Shaochen, one old and one young, were happily poking the fish in the water with a colander, and their laughter spread across the pond.

Seeing them coming, Xiao Xiaochen immediately put down the tools in his hands and ran over to greet them, his childish voice full of joy: "Mom, you're here to pick me up!"

Lou Xiao'e walked quickly forward, hugged her son in her arms, pressed her cheek tightly against the child's little face, and kissed him several times continuously.

Although a trace of disgust flashed across the little guy's face, he did not rush to wipe it off this time, but just smiled shyly.

"Son, do you miss your mother?" Lou Xiao'e asked gently.

"Yes, I dream about you." The little guy answered seriously, and then he caught a glimpse of his father's expectant eyes and quickly added: "And Dad and uncle, I dreamed about them too."

Lou Xiao'e knew in her heart that the last sentence was purely a gift.

It's a response to my father.

"Son, go back to your room and tell grandma to add a few more dishes tonight. Mom, Dad, and uncle are coming to eat again."

After Xu Shaochen readily agreed, he seemed to be reluctantly kissing Lou Xiaoe on the cheek.

This move surprised Lou Xiao'e.

She kissed her son several times again until she saw him running happily to find his grandmother to prepare for the family dinner in the evening.

At this time, godfather had washed his hands and slowly walked into the pavilion.

Lou Xiao'e couldn't wait to follow him, with a hint of urgency in her voice: "Godfather, we have an important matter that we want to ask you for help.

Junwei's teacher and his wife were arrested.

We, we are really helpless and can only come to you."

Lou Xiao'e's eyes revealed deep worry and earnestness, while the old man's expression remained calm.

It seemed as if he had already expected that "these evildoers will definitely not have good luck with him."

Looking at the old man's expression, Xu Damao was not sure whether he could help.

"Godfather, if you don't want to give face to the monk, please give face to the Buddha. Just think of it as Xiao'e and I begging you.

Junwei was an orphan since childhood.

After recognizing me as his master, he has always been with Xiao'e and me.

You also saw that the boy is a grateful person.

Although Professor Guo did not teach him everything he knew, he really treated Junwei as a junior and taught him.

Well, to be honest, we two have failed to live up to our children’s expectations.

Even if we just give people a reminder in advance, we have shown our kindness.

But we actually forgot about it until after the second gate.

It is neither moral nor logical for Xiao'e and I to stand idly by.

If we don’t rescue them in time, I’m afraid they won’t be able to hold out for too long…”

"Godfather."

The three evildoers in the old man's eyes shouted together.
