Xinmin Evening News (Reporter Xu Chi) "I didn't expect Uncle Chen to be so honest and take the initiative to send money to the door ......."The day before yesterday, Ms. Hua, the owner of a cigarette hotel, reported to a reporter from Xinmin Evening News that on the morning of February 16, she asked an old man some "instant welfare lottery tickets", and she was in a hurry and careless when charging, and charged 400 yuan less. What she didn't expect was that the next day, Uncle Chen, who bought the lottery ticket, took the initiative to come to the door to "make up", which really moved her.
This morning, the reporter came to the "Qingqing Tobacco Hotel" located on Gonghexin Road near Baode Road. Ms. Hua, the female shopkeeper, introduced what happened: the "Qingqing Tobacco Hotel" she runs not only sells tobacco and alcohol, but also sells lottery tickets. At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the 16th, a 70-year-old man came to the store and bought an "instant welfare lottery ticket" worth 1,000 yuan. "On the seventh day of the first lunar month, there were many guests, and I was careless and miscalculated ** and charged him 400 yuan less. ”
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day (17th), an old man took the initiative to come to the store and took out 4 100 yuan bills on the spot. "This morning, I found out that I underpaid 400 yuan when I bought a lottery ticket yesterday. So immediately take the subway and rush to deliver the money. Ms. Hua said that she was surprised at the time, on the one hand, she did not realize that she had received less money; On the other hand, the old man took the initiative to "pay back", and he did not need to be named to buy lottery tickets, and when he paid at that time, the old man also used cash. In other words, if this old man does not take the initiative to return the 400 yuan, it will be difficult for Ms. Hua to find him. Ms. Hua said that in addition to gratitude, she wanted to give some small gifts to the old man, but he politely refused. She said with emotion: "Although 400 yuan is not too much, the quality of this old man is worth learning ......."”
Through Ms. Hua's contact, this afternoon, the reporter found this kind old man. The old man's name is Chen Chen, and he is 71 years old this year. "Usually, I have the habit of buying lottery tickets, and I also like to buy lottery tickets in unfamiliar places 'impromptu', paying attention to 'casual fate'. Uncle Chen recalled that on that day, he happened to be partying with friends, so he bought a 1,000 yuan lottery ticket in a cigarette shop near the other party's home. After returning home, the old man found that the account was "not close" when he claimed the prize: "The 1000 face value of the lottery ticket only charged me 600 yuan, there must be a problem." After the old man "checked" for a long time, he determined that he had underpaid, so he immediately rushed back to the scene and made up the money. The old man said plainly that usually, he taught his children to be honest, not to be greedy, and not to accept ill-gotten gains. "I didn't think much about it at all, the money must have to be repaid, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. ”
