Chapter 172: Doll
Behind the stage, there is a huge LED screen, on which is written the words of a charity's year-end thanksgiving performance.
Shi Rujin saw clearly that it was a young girl who was full of student spirit, without any musical instrument accompaniment, and the typhoon seemed a little casual, but the girl's singing voice revealed an indescribable simplicity and tranquility......
Shi Rujin closed her eyes slightly, and in a trance, she saw the figure of a beautiful woman, in a damp and simple earthen house, the woman sat on the side of the bamboo bed that was always "creaking", and gently coaxed her beloved child with her gentle singing voice.
"This is a little key that my grandfather would sing when he was a child, isn't it nice?" said a voice.
Shi Rujin opened his eyes, followed the voice and looked over, and an old and a young appeared in his sight.
"Listen so well!" said a little girl who looked to be three or four years old, crouching on the ground, holding on to the railing and looking down, giggling.
A man who was squatting with the child kissed her little face lovingly, and inadvertently raised his head, his eyes met Shi Rujin, and the other party seemed to be a little surprised, and then nodded at Shi Rujin.
Shi Rujin didn't expect to meet Xu Yun's father here, in the end the other party is an elder, Shi Rujin took the initiative to step forward and greeted him:
"Uncle, bring the children over to play?"
"What a coincidence, I met Miss Shi here. Father Xu smiled innocently and stood up from the ground.
Shi Rujin looked down at the little girl again, and asked her with a smile, "Tingting, do you remember me?"
Tingting looked up at Shi Rujin for a long time, with a strange face.
"Triumphant little brother...... Don't forget him, he gave you a Barbie doll. Shi Rujin bent down and touched the child's little head.
Tingting suddenly smiled, it seems that with such a reminder, she knows who Shi Rujin is.
"Is Xu Yun okay lately?" Shi Rujin raised and asked Father Xu.
Father Xu pointed to the east end of the corridor and said: "Xiao Yun did a good job in that Yanli, the store manager also recognized her skills, the benefits of that store are really good, lunch and evening are issued meal coupons, Xiao Yun can't run out, often let me and my wife bring children to the restaurant, today my wife and son play mahjong with others, I take Tingting alone." ”
Shi Rujin looked at the Yanli beauty salon pointed out by Xu's father, and she naturally knew that the store belonged to the top beauty chain machinery in China, and it was one of the businesses that Qiu Ting had refined the format of the square and focused on introducing after joining the Bosheng Group.
"Thank you, Miss Shi, for introducing such a good job to my daughter. Father Xu suddenly expressed his gratitude to Shi Rujin.
Shi Rujin was surprised: "I didn't do anything?"
"Miss Shi doesn't have to be polite, Yanli's store manager said that it was Miss Shi who recommended Xiao Wan to them, although people take good care of her, my Xiao Wan is not lazy, she is really not afraid of hardship, now many guests are named to Xiao Wan service, by the way, yesterday Xiao Wan also said that this month can be done. The more Father Xu spoke, the happier he became, but the more Shi Rujin listened, the more confused he became.
"Grandpa, she won't sing anymore!" Tingting stood up and pulled Father Xu's sleeve.
"The performance is over," Xu's father said, looked down, and said to the child: "Tingting see it, many people are queuing up to donate, let's go down and donate a little, Fengning is grandpa's hometown, let's help the children over there, so that they have new clothes to wear in winter, okay!"
Tingting was very sensible, and replied in a milky voice: "Grandpa, I gave my hairpin to the children." ”
"Keep the hairpins!" Father Xu said with a smile, already picking up the child.
said goodbye to Shi Rujin, and Xu's father took Tingting down from the pedestrian elevator.
"Sister Shi, what are you looking at?" Yuan Yuan walked out of the women's clothing store with two bags.
"I met Xu Yun's father. Shi Rujin said, handed her Yuanyuan's coat, and glanced down again.
On the stage at this moment, the host is holding the microphone and interviewing the girl who sang just now. The girl looked a little shy, and the host asked a question, and she answered.
"Little girl, where do you live?"
"Kangou Village, Fengning County, Montaigne Region. ”
"Why did you come to this volunteer performance?"
When asked about this, the girl's words were obviously more: "I am a college student from Fengning, some time ago, we had a continuous heavy rain there, the village encountered floods, many houses collapsed, at that time, many well-wishers donated money for our village, so that my parents and the villagers in the village have survived the difficulties, and have a place again, so I came to sing a hometown tune today, singing badly, do my best, but also on behalf of our village, to express deep gratitude to all caring people." ”
"Yes, a true feeling, a return, today we hold this feedback activity, is to pass on all the love, everyone to collect firewood and the flame is high, let us work together for the people in need, contribute a strength!" the host said with high emotions.
Shi Rujin watched carefully for a long time, and it wasn't until the girl walked off the stage that she turned her head to Yuanyuan and said, "I'll donate some money below." ”
On the right side of the stage, a donation area was specially opened, and Shi Rujin patiently lined up at the back of the line with Yuanyuan.
"Miss Shi is also here to donate money?" Father Xu hugged Tingting and walked to Shi Rujin's side.
"Since they have all met, I will express a little heart. Shi Rujin noticed that Tingting was holding a thank you card from the donated unit in her hand, took her hand, and said, "We Tingting is really caring, when will I find a time to take Brother Kaixuan to play with you?"
Tingting smiled a little shyly, her attention seemed to be attracted by Shi Rujin's right hand, and curiously touched the red rope wrapped around the ring ring on her ring finger.
Father Xu looked at Tingting's gaze, was stunned at first, and muttered: "It seems that there is someone who also likes to tie red strings on rings." ”
When Father Xu said this, Shi Rujin's mobile phone rang.
The call was made by Shi Chen, complaining that he and Xiaobai had been standing in the atrium for a long time, and their legs were sore, and asked Shi Rujin and Yuanyuan when they would come over.
"We're in the donation area, where are you two?" Shi Rujin asked, and began to look around.
Yuanyuan's eyes were sharp, and after a while, he saw Shi Chenchen and Xiaobai in the crowd, and hurriedly beckoned to them.
Shi Chenchen and Xiaobai squeezed in from outside the crowd, each holding a few dolls in their arms, it seems that today is a bumper harvest.
"It's an exaggeration to catch so many!" said Yuanyuan in amazement.
Xiaobai said happily: "It's so powerful, I have almost never missed, let's go back and divide it!"
"This time there is not enough time, next time we will spend a day here!" Shi Chen squeezed his eyes at Xiaobai, really don't be too proud.
"Your little bit of cleverness is all used to catch dolls?" Shi Rujin asked funny, turned her head to look at Tingting who was held in Xu's father's arms, and said to her: "Which one do you like, let this brother send you." ”
"Where did she come from?" Shi Chen looked at the little girl curiously.
"Yes...... My friend's child," Shi Rujin replied, and then reminded Shi Chen: "This is Uncle Xu, call someone quickly!"
"Hello Uncle Xu!" Shi Chen shouted at Father Xu.
"Is this Miss Shi's younger brother?" Father Xu smiled: "What a young man!"
"Uncle, you praise him, Shi Chen's is called fat!" Shi Rujin made a joke about Shi Chen.
Shi Chenchen looked pondering at this time, glanced at Tingting, and said to Shi Rujin: "Sister, your friends have children, look at you, you haven't married yet!"
Shi Chenming deliberately teased Shi Rujin, and said in a loud voice, attracting the people around him to look over.
"Is it a bad beating?" Shi Rujin was about to kick Shi Chenchen with his foot, Shi Chenchen had already been accustomed to her trick, and jumped behind Xiaobai, Xiaobai and Yuanyuan looked at Shi Chenchen and couldn't stop laughing.
Shi Chen squeezed his eyebrows at Shi Rujin for a while, and then said: "Sister, did you hear the singing here just now, it was the 'Little Flower Chicken' that you sang when I was a child, you coaxed me to sleep and sang, I always thought it was made up by yourself, but I didn't expect this song to really exist!"
As the sisters and brothers spoke, they didn't notice that Father Xu looked at them for a while.
"Why don't I remember singing with you?" Shi Rujin said casually, pulling a Winnie bear from Shi Chen's arms and handing it to Tingting.
Tingting had been looking at the dolls that Shi Chen and Xiaobai were holding for a long time, but Winnie the Pooh was sent to the front, but she didn't dare to pick it up, and looked at Father Xu carefully.
Shi Chen was quite generous, and said to Tingting: "That...... Children, what else do you like, pick another one, the rest belong to my girlfriend, my brother is good to you, my sister doesn't have this treatment. ”
"Oh, no need, we have toys at home, I really don't need it!" Father Xu was busy refusing on the side.
Shi Rujin took two dolls from Shi Chenchen's arms, and brought them to Tingting: "Our little brother is amazing, is three enough?" ”
"Sister, what are you doing?" Shi Chenchen was in a hurry.
"Miss Shi, you're polite, it's not good to take your things. "Father Xu is still refusing.
Tingting was a little aggrieved, and her small mouth was already pursed.
"Let her play with it!" Shi Rujin couldn't cry or laugh, noticing that the child was about to cry.
Shi Chen snatched the dolls in Shi Rujin's hand, stuffed them directly into Tingting's arms, and said, "What's the big deal, I should give my little niece a meeting gift." ”
Tingting hugged her tightly, but her eyes were still looking at Father Xu timidly.
"How embarrassing is this," Father Xu looked at Tingting, his expression was a little helpless: "Her mother doesn't let her children take other people's things casually, for fear that it will not be good to form a habit." ”
"Isn't it my sister friend, what's embarrassing, I caught it, just want to be happy. Shi Chen said disappreciably.
"Uncle, it's rare for my family to be so generous, just play with the child, isn't it an example?" Shi Rujin persuaded Xu's father.
Tingting was still looking at Father Xu until he finally nodded, and his eyes lit up.
"What do you want to say?" Father Xu asked Tingting.
"Thank you!" Tingting smiled not too happily.
After queuing for a long time, Shi Rujin finally made a donation, and just came out with a thank you card, Xu Yun, who was wearing a pink overalls, walked in front of her.
