在长沙雨花区井湾子街道德馨园社区，有一家远近闻名的“好人多粉店”。这家店位置不显眼，招牌也不醒目，却在当地被许多人称为“长沙最有爱的粉店”。这里到底发生了什么?
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?
开业前五年送出3万份免费米粉
Five years after opening, 30,000 free rice noodles were sent out from here
“好人多粉店”是一家经营早餐的小店。刘国兴、周美其夫妇二人既是这家店的老板，又是服务员。店门口放着下米粉的配菜、茶水，顾客可以自己动手免费续加，茶水也对路人开放，只要口渴了就可以进来倒一杯热茶。
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.
不仅如此，每当有家长带着学龄前的孩子来吃早餐，刘国兴夫妇都会为孩子准备一份免费早餐。60周岁的“三无”老人来店里吃粉、面，夫妻二人也不收费，这是从2011年小店开业至今都没变过的规矩(“三无”老人指无劳动能力、无生活来源、无赡养人和扶养人或者其赡养人和扶养人确无赡养或扶养能力的老人)。路过的流浪乞讨人员、辛苦的清洁工，刘国兴夫妇也会请到店里吃一碗米粉。
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，同小区的一位吴先生为粉店捐赠了200碗米粉。为了让爱心人士的捐赠落到实处，社区专门制作了“墙上米粉”的牌子挂在店里，有需要的人自己取牌子抵扣粉面钱。后来捐赠慢慢增多，刘国兴就拿小本子一一登记 。
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.
如果墙上的牌子取完了，登记本上的捐赠也见底了，遇到学龄前儿童和“三无”老人前来吃粉，刘国兴夫妇依然会热心接待免费供应。据当地媒体报道，仅小店开业的前五年，他们就送出了3万份免费米粉。
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.
生活困难 邻居“众筹”粉店
Life is struggle for the couple, and neighbors “crowdfunding” a restaurant
刘国兴夫妇为什么会这么做?这要从小店的来历说起。刘国兴原本是一位国有企业职工，妻子一直待业在家。1996年开始，他所在的企业效益开始严重下滑，从之前一个月100多块工资待岗到最终买断工龄下岗。由于曾经工作的特殊性，刘国兴患上了肺气肿，不能干重活儿。那些年，他做过销售、开过快餐店，但一直难以走出困境。2011年，邻居们得知一家米粉店需要转让，便极力劝说刘国兴把店盘下来自己经营，但对于当时的刘国兴一家来说，这并非易事。面对窘况，邻居们有钱出钱、有力出力，亲戚朋友你几百、他上千的凑启动资金。街坊邻居还把家里多余的锅碗瓢盆拿过来，再加上原来店铺的家伙什，一个新店就这样众筹开了起来。
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.
邻居们的协助并不止步于此。开店之初，一位老厨师就教他们夫妻做汤底，有时候忙不过来，总有一两个邻居搭把手。70岁的苏锡霞从在开店之初借钱捐资，到目前一有空就会在店里义务帮忙。
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.
在大家的协助下，刘国兴的小店开得顺风顺水。加上他的退休工资，家里经济上的窘况算是解决了，日子越过越舒心。
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.
爱心汇成“德善好人街”
With the sharing of love, a “Good People Street” was finally formed
经过当地媒体的报道和社区对“好人多粉店”的宣传，德馨园社区先后有13个门店加入帮扶困难群众的队伍，向困难户、老人、小孩等开展免费服务或长期折扣服务，形成了一条“德善好人街”，社区还成立了“好人好店”一条街协会。
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.
