在長沙雨花區井灣子街道德馨園社區，有一家遠近聞名的“好人多粉店”。這家店位置不顯眼，招牌也不醒目，卻在當地被很多人稱為“長沙最有愛的粉店”。這裡到底發生了什麼?
In Dexinyuan Community, Jingwanzi Street, Yuhua District, Changsha, there is a well-known "Hao Ren Duo(a lot of good people)" Rice Noodle Restaurant. The location of the restaurant is not conspicuous, and the signboard is not eye-catching, but it is called "the most lovly rice noodle restaurant in Changsha" by many people in the local area. What is going on here?
開業前五年送出3萬份免費米粉
Five years after opening, 30,000 free rice noodles were sent out from here
“好人多粉店”是一家經營早餐的小店。劉國興、周美其夫婦二人既是這家店的老闆，又是服務員。店門口放著下米粉的配菜、茶水，顧客可以自己動手免費續加，茶水也對路人開放，只要口渴了就可以進來倒一杯熱茶。
Hao Ren Duo Rice Noodle Restaurant is a small shop that manages breakfast. As a couple, Liu Guoxing and Zhou Meiqi are both the owner and the waiter of this shop. There is a side dish of rice noodles and tea at the restaurant's entrance. Customers can add it for free by themselves. The tea is also provided for free to passersby: as long as you are thirsty, you can come in and have a cup of hot tea.
不僅如此，每當有家長帶著學齡前的孩子來吃早餐，劉國興夫婦都會為孩子準備一份免費早餐。60週歲的“三無”老人來店裡吃粉、面，夫妻二人也不收費，這是從2011年小店開業至今都沒變過的規矩(“三無”老人指無勞動能力、無生活來源、無贍養人和扶養人或者其贍養人和扶養人確無贍養或扶養能力的老人)。路過的流浪乞討人員、辛苦的清潔工，劉國興夫婦也會請到店裡吃一碗米粉。
Not only that, whenever parents bring their preschool children to breakfast, the couple will prepare a free breakfast for their children. And if any 60-year-old "three-no(means people that have no workability, no income, and no relatives or relatives don't have the ability to take care of them)" elderly people come to the restaurant to have noodles, the couple will not charge any for it. This is a rule that has not changed since the restaurant opened in 2011. Also, for the passing homeless beggars and hard-working street cleaners, the couple will invite them to the restaurant to have a bowl of free rice noodles.
2015年，同小區的一位吳先生為粉店捐贈了200碗米粉。為了讓愛心人士的捐贈落到實處，社區專門製作了“牆上米粉”的牌子掛在店裡，有需要的人自己取牌子抵扣粉面錢。後來捐贈慢慢增多，劉國興就拿小本子一一登記 。
Maybe because their kind act moved many neighbors, in 2015, a Mr. Wu from the same community donated 200 bowls of rice noodles to the restaurant. In order to make the donations of caring people been fully used, the community has specially produced many boards that printed "Rice Noodle on the Wall" on it and hanged them on the wall of the shop. If anyone has needs, they can take a board to deduct the noodle money. Later, donations gradually increased, and Liu Guoxing took a small book to note all the information.
如果牆上的牌子取完了，登記本上的捐贈也見底了，遇到學齡前兒童和“三無”老人前來吃粉，劉國興夫婦依然會熱心接待免費供應。據當地媒體報道，僅小店開業的前五年，他們就送出了3萬份免費米粉。
Even after the boards on the wall was taken out, and the donations on the note book bottomed out. When encountering preschool children and the "three-no" elderly people who came to eat noodles, the couple would still be happy to provide a free meal. According to local media, they gave away 30,000 bowls of free rice noodles in the first five years of the shop's opening.
生活困難 鄰居“眾籌”粉店
Life is struggle for the couple, and neighbors "crowdfunding" a restaurant
劉國興夫婦為什麼會這麼做?這要從小店的來歷說起。劉國興原本是一位國有企業職工，妻子一直待業在家。1996年開始，他所在的企業效益開始嚴重下滑，從之前一個月100多塊工資待崗到最終買斷工齡下崗。由於曾經工作的特殊性，劉國興患上了肺氣腫，不能幹重活兒。那些年，他做過銷售、開過快餐店，但一直難以走出困境。2011年，鄰居們得知一家米粉店需要轉讓，便極力勸說劉國興把店盤下來自己經營，但對於當時的劉國興一家來說，這並非易事。面對窘況，鄰居們有錢出錢、有力出力，親戚朋友你幾百、他上千的湊啟動資金。街坊鄰居還把家裡多餘的鍋碗瓢盆拿過來，再加上原來店鋪的傢伙什，一個新店就這樣眾籌開了起來。
The reason for the couple to do this is starting from the origin of the restaurant. Liu Guoxing was originally an employee of a state-owned enterprise, and his wife was a housewife. Beginning in 1996, the efficiency of his company began to decline severely, from a salary of more than 100 yuan a month, Liu's rest of career was finally been financially buyout (means the company paid for his rest of working years for a low price) and he became a laid-off worker. Due to the special nature of his previous job, Liu suffered from emphysema and was unable to do heavy work. In those years, he has done sales and opened a fast-food restaurant, but he has always been difficult to get out of trouble. In 2011, when neighbors learned that a rice noodle restaurant was for sale, they told Liu to buy the shop and run it himself, but it was not an easy job for Liu's family at the time. Facing the dilemma, the surrounding people have did a lot of affairs to help. Liu's relatives and friends have lended him the startup funds, the neighbors also brought over their extra pots and pans to the shop. Together with the old equipment in the original restaurant, a new shop was opened in this way.
鄰居們的幫助並不止步於此。開店之初，一位老廚師就教他們夫妻做湯底，有時候忙不過來，總有一兩個鄰居搭把手。70歲的蘇錫霞從在開店之初借錢捐資，到現在一有空就會在店裡義務幫忙。
The help of the neighbors does not stop there. At the starting years of the shop, an old chef in the community taught the couple to make soup bases. Sometimes they were too busy, and there was always one or two neighbors to help. 70-year-old Su Xixia helps the couple to borrow money at the beginning of the restaurant, and now she still will volunteer in the shop whenever she has time.
在大家的幫助下，劉國興的小店開得順風順水。加上他的退休工資，家裡經濟上的窘況算是解決了，日子越過越舒心。
With everyone's help, the couple's shop runs very well. The income from the restaurant with Liu's retirement salary finally resolved the financial dilemma in the family.
愛心匯成“德善好人街”
With the sharing of love, a "Good People Street" was finally formed
經過當地媒體的報道和社區對“好人多粉店”的宣傳，德馨園社區先後有13個門店加入幫扶困難群眾的隊伍，向困難戶、老人、小孩等開展免費服務或長期折扣服務，形成了一條“德善好人街”，社區還成立了“好人好店”一條街協會。
After reports from the local media and the community's propaganda of the noodle restaurant, Dexinyuan community now has 13 shops to join the team to help the needy, and provide free services or long-term discount services to needy households, the elderly, and children. A "Good People Street" has been formed, and the community has also established a "Good People, Good Stores" Street Association.
