Rebirth from Another World: Creating a Happy Life

,
spnPrad rubbed his hands, put them to his mouth and rubbed them to warm them, and watched with joyful eyes as the last newspaper was taken away.
In the morning, he was sent to Xicheng District to deliver newspapers. It only took less than two hours from the first person to open the door and tentatively read the news to the last one being delivered. Seeing that the newspapers in the newspaper office were being used like this
Like, Praed was very happy for those young people. For the first time, he sincerely hoped that good people would be rewarded, because those two people were really good people. Praed sincerely hoped that their efforts would be recognized by everyone.
.
No one knew what it meant to Praed when two winter coats were delivered to him. The warm friendship represented by these two pieces of clothing was millions of times more precious than their own value. For the first time, someone didn't care.
He is just a little gangster who is willing to treat him sincerely and care about his well-being and hunger.
Men really can't cry, and the eyes of street gangsters who have long been used to the ups and downs of the world are already dry. But when he put on the thick clothes and felt the real warmth, Praed's eyes were still red.
So he almost ran away with the newspaper in his arms in the morning, fearing that the two people would see him.[
The person who gave him the clothes was named Arisio, and the boy who was as gentle as the morning sun was named Lanlot. This was the result of Praed's many inquiries.
Arisio and Lanlot, Praed remembered. It turns out that not all businessmen are profit-oriented, and not all people look down on street gangsters like themselves. At least the boy named Lanlot looked at them.
My vision is gentle and equal, and I also have a very natural caring attitude, which really warms my heart.
"Hey! Please come early tomorrow." Praed shouted loudly. He was really kind to those two people, so he decided that as long as he had time in the future, he would help them deliver newspapers. In addition, he was also very special when delivering newspapers.
Regardless of coaxing, deceiving, or even intimidating, the person who is interested in the newspaper must take a copy. Therefore, the newspaper in his hand is the fastest to be delivered. Anyway, he is Xicheng District
One tyrant
, I don’t usually have much dignity or face. As long as I can successfully complete the tasks assigned by Lanlot, I will repay his sincere care. Fortunately, this thing seems to be a really good thing, no matter what I take away from him.
Whether the people working at the newspaper were sincere or forced, they never really showed regret or unwillingness on their faces. In the end, they all seemed quite satisfied and really liked the newspaper.
Newspapers are a new thing in Madagaur. They were created by a group of young people headed by Ranlot. That young man is really talented, Praed thought with some envy. It's a pity that he can't read even half of the Chinese characters, otherwise he would have to
Take the newspaper and read it carefully to see what is written on it.
When Praed saw that the newspapers had been delivered, he shouted loudly for a while, asking people to come here at the same time tomorrow to buy newspapers, and then he went home.
Walking through Xicheng City, he walked to an inconspicuous side street and turned into a narrow alley. Praed habitually pierced through the various clothes hanging to dry and carefully avoided the various piles of clothes.
After picking up the sundries, I finally walked to the end of the alley and opened the door of a small wooden house.
"Come back?" said an old voice in the dark room.
"Back." Praed responded, walked to the innermost part, stretched out his hand and opened a small door to let in the sunlight.
The sun shone on a small bed, with an old man with white hair sleeping on it. Praed helped him sit up, took off a piece of his newly acquired winter coat and put it on him, and asked: "Today
Are you still coughing so badly?"
The old man said: "No, it's just shortness of breath. It feels like a big stone is pressing on my chest and I can't breathe."
Pride's face darkened and he said: "It doesn't matter, I still have money here. I'll ask a priest to show it to you later."
The old man reached out and grabbed Praed and gasped: "Don't. I'm already dying. Don't waste money on me. Don't make that kind of heartless money anymore. Save the money you have for yourself."
, if you want to find a wife in the future, don’t go hungry Campo.”
Praed felt sour in his heart and forced a smile: "What are you doing with a wife? You can't use it to eat or wear it. I just have you and Campo. If you hadn't picked up Campo and me, we would have been together."
He has already met the God of Light. Haha, don’t worry, I have the final say in Xicheng District. If I want money, who dares not to give it?"
The old man shook his head and sighed: "You... are being hated by others. This is not good."
Just as he was talking, a skinny little boy with a pale face opened the door and came in holding a pile of firewood. When he saw Praed, he shouted happily: "Brother!"
Praed saw that his face was bruised and swollen, worse than his own a few days ago. He felt slightly angry and asked: "Campo, what's wrong with your face?"
Campo smiled awkwardly and said: "It was cold, so I went outside to pick up firewood and brought it back to burn. But I accidentally picked up firewood from someone else's house... Hehe, I got beaten up. Fortunately, I ran fast and even connected the firewood.
None of it was thrown away.”
The old man was startled, and then he understood in his heart, where can he collect firewood in the city? To put it bluntly, he would steal other people's firewood. This would mean being caught on the spot and beaten.
However, Praed became angrier and said sternly: "Who in Xicheng District doesn't know that you are my younger brother, who dares to beat you? There are all acquaintances nearby, and you don't know how to take things. Have you gone to the east?"
?"[
Campo smiled even more thoroughly and said: "Hey, Porter, the furry bear in Dongcheng District, is always bullying us, so I will steal his things! I have been successful in the past, but this time I was unlucky and was caught."
Praed jumped up and roared: "Damn it! He dares to hit my brother?! I'm not done with this bastard!" Huo Di pulled out a knife from under the old man's shop and was about to rush out.
.
The old man and Campo were frightened and hurriedly grabbed him. The old man said: "Sun, don't be impulsive. You can't beat him."
Campo also said: "Brother, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Look at me, I'm very strong. How can I get beaten less? The more I beat, the healthier I will be. Don't go into head-on confrontation with them, you will suffer a loss. Haha, don't go.
Come on. Come on, come on, sit over here, I finally stole some firewood and we can make a fire and warm ourselves together."
Praed was held tightly by the two men, and he had no choice but to throw down the knife in frustration. He also knew that it would be a waste of time to go to Porter to recover the situation, but Campo was his younger brother. Although he was not his biological son, he was better than his biological brother.
I want to kiss you. I really can’t swallow this breath.
Seeing that the anger was still lingering on his face, Campo was afraid that Praed would rush over and suffer a loss, so he turned his face to a darker side with poor lighting, so as not to let him see it, so as not to make him fly into a rage again, and he only talked about interesting things.
He said happy and good things, which made him happy. The old man held Praed tightly and refused to let go.
Praed understood this, and felt sour in his heart that he finally endured the anger.
Campo lit the fire skillfully. His family was too poor and did not have the luxury of a fireplace, so he had to use a broken pot as a brazier. When the fire was lit, there was a sense of warmth in the room, but the smoke from the half-dry and half-wet wood was too great.
, which made the three of them cough and choke for a while at first.
Praed took off his last thick winter coat and gave it to Campo to wear, but Campo refused. The two brothers refused for a while, and Praed got angry and pretended to burn the clothes. Campo was so frightened that he had to take it and put it on.
.
Everyone said that this brother was a gangster. He fought and caused trouble all day long. He formed gangs and shamelessly asked people for money. Everyone in the Western City civilians disliked him and were afraid of him. But Campo was very fond of this brother.
He respects and loves him so much that he would rather go hungry and shiver with cold than give up food and clothing. Where can I find such a brother?
Campo looked at Praede, and sat closer to him, leaning against him, hoping that the body temperature of his thick clothes could pass through and keep his brother warm. Praede knew in his heart that he could not help but stay in Campo
He touched the top of his head twice. Doesn't this stupid brother know that the thicker the clothes, the less body temperature can be revealed? However, he understood what Campo was thinking, and he felt that Campo was so cute that it hurt to the bones.
The three of them gathered around the fire to warm themselves up, and no one mentioned eating. The old man thought that he could save one meal after another and save some money to make his life easier in the future. Campo thought that his brother would wear too little.
I got sick from the cold and wanted to save some money to make a new dress. But Praed wanted to save a meal and a half to help the old man get some medicine money. For a while, the three of them didn't talk. You were thinking of me, I
Thinking
You, one thought, three concerns, are just like Mikey’s gift, ridiculous and precious. Two words can describe them all, but they can never summarize the feelings inside. In silence, the three of them were all
Just looking at the brazier, no one understands what the other is thinking, but it seems that everyone understands what the other is thinking. The strong family affection flows and turns into a faint fragrance.
Huo Di, a strong wind blew up, and a man came in with a cold door, and then shut the door out of the cold wind with his backhand.
"Boss Pride!"
"Ares? What are you doing here? I'm telling you, you won't be able to eat today."
The blond-haired Ares laughed: "Who said that? Look!" He slapped a piece of paper in front of Pride.
Pudrey raised his head and saw that it was the newspaper he had delivered all morning. He had read hundreds of them and it looked very familiar. He could tell at a glance.
Campo felt strange when he saw it, so he picked it up and turned it around to look up and down. Unfortunately, he couldn't read the Chinese characters, so he had to look at the painting on it and looked at the Naga image on it curiously.
"It's a newspaper. You also took one? This is not good. Lanlot asked us to send it, so how could you take it yourself? That boy is really a good person, you can't treat him like this."
"You take a look first and then talk." Ares smiled, with an extremely happy expression on his face.
Pride quickly darkened his face: "Are you itchy? You know that I can't read. The only one in our group who can read is you. I told you to write the news last time..."
Ares slapped his head and laughed: "Look at me, I was so excited that I forgot about it. I'll read it to you!" He snatched the newspaper back from Campo's hand and read it loudly: "The Trivia of Sirimaka
"Interesting Facts", first-hand information collected by our correspondent Pride Jones. Pride Jones, isn't it you! Hahaha, you reported it!"[
Praed was surprised and happy. He also grabbed the newspaper, looked around in all directions, and asked urgently: "Where, where? Where is my name?"
"Here." Ares pointed to him.
Praed looked at the small line of text and felt happy and excited. He had been delivering the newspaper all morning, but he didn't even know that his name was on it.
"There are better things!" Ares said: "The newspaper said that each of us participated in the data collection, and the hard work fee for each of us is fifty silver coins. In addition, because the data was adopted, another five
The manuscript fee is ten silver coins. So one gold coin for each person! You leave after delivering the newspaper. If they can’t find anyone, I will collect it for you. Here, one gold coin.”
Looking at the gold coin, Campo cheered loudly and screamed excitedly: "Gold coins! Brother, I want to eat chicken legs!" Suddenly he felt something was wrong. He looked at Praed carefully and asked in a low voice: "Brother, buy a chicken leg for me.
Can I eat well?"
The old man also said: "Just buy it for him to eat. Campo is already greedy."
Praed was stunned and heard Ares say again: "Do you remember to beat up our Angel?"
Pride was still digesting the fact that he got a gold coin for nothing, and he nodded blankly. It would be weird to forget about being beaten so hard. Ares said: "That guy beats people very hard, but he has a good heart."
.He told the newspaper that we
It's really hard to run around, and you are the leader, so you have to arrange everything, so he asked for an extra gold coin for you. You two gold coins each, how envious! It's great to be the boss! Here, this is
The second gold coin.”
Campo was crazy with joy. He took the gold coin and put it in his mouth and bit it, confirming that it was indeed real. Then he yelled: "I really want to eat chicken legs." He stretched out five fingers: "Five!
"
Pride was stunned. Ares glanced at him sideways and continued to say shocking words: "The boy named Lanlot said that as long as we help him collect every month... Well
, Yes, materials. He will pay five gold coins a month. Once the collected materials are accepted, whoever collects them will be rewarded with fifty silver coins! Damn, this guy is so generous. The more I see him, the more I like him!
Boss, do you understand what this means?"
Pride nodded numbly, but Campo didn't understand and asked: "What does it mean?"
Ares took a deep breath and shouted excitedly: "It means that we street gangsters with no skills now have jobs! Five gold coins a month, and we can get rewards for good work!"
"Wow!" Campo shouted: "Can I go? I'm good at running errands and asking for information! I'm skinny, but I can run faster than you!"
Ares hesitated for a moment: "I don't know, but I can ask. Mr. Arisio is a very nice person, Angel is also kind-hearted, and Lanlot is a soft-hearted person. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Then he laughed heartily: "Boss, we guys have jobs now! We won't have to go hungry from time to time. Five gold coins are really a lot. Are you going to treat me today? If not, I'll treat you!"
"I'm going to treat you, I'm going to treat you!" Praed became happy and shouted: "Call all the brothers. Anyway, if I have one more gold coin, I will use it to treat you. Don't count on me for anything else. I want to use the money to pay for Grandpa's medical treatment.
"
"It's okay. You treat me first. The money for medical treatment is not enough for everyone to contribute. Anyway, we have money now, hahahaha!"
While they were rejoicing, there was a commotion outside. It seemed that all the gangsters from Xicheng District had arrived. They were noisy outside and asked Praed to treat him to dinner.
Pride happily asked Campo to invite them in, but Ares added: "There is one last piece of news, I'm sure you will go crazy if you hear it."
Pride had been shocked to the point of numbness, and only asked: "Is there anything else big that you want to say?"
Ares solemnly said: "Lanlot said that you must have quality when you are a gangster. What is the most important thing in the new era? Talent! What is talent?" Ares scratched his scalp and said: "He said
He will ask someone to teach us how to read and write, and then teach us a method to make us bright
To collect people's money uprightly, not only to collect it, but also to collect it legally, and to be respected and loved by others. When people like us are mentioned, everyone has to give a thumbs up. The money collected,
There’s even a name for it, it’s not called robbery or bullying, it’s just called – protection money!”
Pride was completely shocked, and the fire stick in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and he was speechless for a long time.
