Lao Li took the ticket, carried the sack, and took the two little ones to look for the ticket gate.

After more than ten hours of train, he will definitely be very hungry on the road, Lao Li wanted to buy some steamed buns, but there was nothing to sell in the supermarket at the train station, so he bought a few packs of instant noodles for Xiaofeng to carry, ready to eat on the road.

After getting on the bus, Lao Li took the ticket and found his seat. His seat was not far from the end of the carriage, and he put the sack on the floor, let the two little ones sit on it, and went back to his seat and narrowed.

This time is not the rush hour, there are not many people on the train, and there are basically no people standing. The two little ones got up early and ran around for a long time, and their stomachs were grumbling with hunger.

Xiaofeng stood up and looked at Lao Li, who was already asleep. Xiaofeng quietly took out a pack of instant noodles, tore it open, broke half of it and handed it to Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu had never eaten instant noodles, and he didn't know how to eat half of the instant noodles, so he looked at Xiaofeng with wide eyes.

Xiaofeng smiled, gently broke a small piece and chewed it in his mouth, and then motioned Xiaoyu to learn from himself, Xiaoyu also followed his example and broke off a piece of instant noodles and put it in his mouth, and then smiled.

The dirty little face is the most innocent smile.

"Is it delicious?" Xiaofeng asked Xiaoyudao. Xiaoyu nodded happily, Xiaofeng smiled proudly, and nibbled the instant noodles.

After another four or five hours, when the train passed through Changsha, some people went down, Lao Li also woke up, he saw that there was no one next to him, so he called the two little guys over, let them sit opposite him, and asked Xiaofeng for a pack of instant noodles, Xiaofeng quickly handed the bag of instant noodles to Lao Li, Lao Li opened it and found that there was a bag missing, so he asked Xiaofeng: "Why is there a bag missing, you lost it?"

"No... No, we were so hungry after getting in the car just now, I saw that you fell asleep, so I ate a pack with Xiaoyu. Xiaofeng lowered his head and said with a wince.

Lao Li raised his hand and wanted to smoke him, but when he thought that he was on the train, he would inevitably have to fight again when he was seen by a nosy person, so he twitched the corner of his mouth, put his hand down, and said, "Since you two have eaten, then you don't need to eat." ”

As he spoke, Lao Li picked up a pack of instant noodles and nibbled on it. It's been four or five hours, and the half pack of instant noodles that the two of them each have eaten has already been digested, and their stomachs are already hungry at this time, but Xiaofeng looked at Lao Li, who was angry, and didn't dare to say anything.

At this time, a young man on the seat on the other side of the aisle made a bucket of instant noodles, and after opening the lid, the fragrance wafted out.

The young man took two bites and felt that someone was watching him, and when he looked around, he saw two dirty children staring at him without blinking, to be precise, at the bucket of instant noodles that stared at him.

The young man looked very hungry at them, and then looked around, and next to them sat an adult Lao Li, and the man asked, "Hey, master, are these two children your children?"

Lao Li raised his head and looked at him, and said in an unkind tone: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Your kids seem to be hungry, they keep staring at instant noodles, why don't you give them something to eat?" asked the young man puzzled.

"What's the matter with you?" Lao Li choked on the man, looked at the two little ones with unkind eyes, and asked, "Are you two hungry?"

The two little ones shrank their heads in fright, shook their heads in unison, and then looked at the man's instant noodles and swallowed.

The young man was choked by Lao Li, a little angry, and he didn't want to be nosy, but he looked at the pitiful appearance of the two little guys, and couldn't bear to say: "You two are hungry, don't pay attention to your father, I still have two buckets of instant noodles here, you two can eat them." ”

Saying that, he took out two buckets of instant noodles from his bag and handed them to Xiao Feng, and before Lao Li could speak, Xiao Feng ran over directly and took the instant noodles, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle." Then happily handed Xiaoyu a bucket, Lao Li snorted twice and did not speak.

Xiao Feng opened the instant noodle bucket excitedly, and then looked at the instant noodles and was dumbfounded. There is no fragrance or heat in it, and it is completely different from what young people eat.

Xiao Feng looked at him curiously, he also looked at Xiao Feng curiously, and said, "Why don't you eat it?"

Xiaofeng said, "Uncle, how is this different from yours? ”

The young man laughed twice, stood up and walked over, picked up Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu's instant noodles and said, "Look, after tearing it open, take out all the seasoning packets inside, tear them open and pour them in, and then go to the end of the carriage to pick up hot water, go, I'll take you to pick up hot water." ”

He tore up Xiaoyu's bucket of noodles and poured it into the seasoning bag, and took them to fetch water. After receiving the water, he handed the noodles to Xiao Feng, and went to pick up another bucket, he saw that Xiao Yu was really small, so he didn't hand it to her, but helped her bring it over.

The young man placed the noodles on their tables, sealed them with a fork, and said, "Soak for five minutes and eat." ”

Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu nodded obediently and said thank you, uncle.

After more than ten minutes, the young man was swiping his mobile phone there, and suddenly remembered the two children, turned his head to look over, only to find that they were still staring at their respective instant noodles and swallowing saliva.

"Why haven't you two eaten? It's been so long. The young man asked curiously.

"But, uncle, we don't know how long five minutes is. ”

Forehead......

The train finally arrived in Guangzhou, Lao Li took them out of the train station, looked at their mobile phones, and it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Lao Li took the two of them to a simple shop in the square, opened the sack, took out the bedding inside, spread it on the ground, and beckoned the two little ones to lie down and sleep. Fortunately, Guangzhou in spring was not cold, and they did not get sick from the cold.

After dawn in the morning, Lao Li took the two of them up to clean up their things, bought a few packs of instant noodles and mineral water at the nearby commissary for breakfast, and took them around to inquire where there were low-rent houses in urban villages to live in.

After a morning of inquiry, they were tired and hungry, and finally found a place to rent a house in an urban village. It was a dilapidated tube building with four floors, and they lived on the fifth floor.

The reason why there is a fifth floor is because the landlord has added a layer of plastic board on the roof, which is cold in winter and hot in summer, and the place is still small and pitiful, and there is no place for a bunk bed and a table in a ten-square-meter place. However, the ventilation is very good, just open the windows and doors.

After some bargaining between Lao Li and the landlord, he finally rented it at a price of 400 yuan a month.

Lao Li made his bed on the top bunk and let the two little ones sleep in the lower bunk, they are still young, and it is inconvenient to climb up and down.

After some tossing, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon after they finished cleaning up, and Lao Li took them out with a small broken bowl.

They first went to a small restaurant and asked for three bowls of wontons, and after gobbling them up, Lao Li let them start work.

The two little ones knelt down on the side of the road in the urban village and began the day, no, the begging for half a day.

In the afternoon, there were not many people, and by six or seven o'clock, the people living in the urban villages had already returned from work, and the number of talents gradually increased, and the money asked for this afternoon was more in this half hour.

Lao Li went to a second-hand market to buy a second-hand induction cooker and an iron pot while they were begging, and then went to the vegetable market to buy some dried millet noodles and seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. When it was dark, Lao Li took them back to the rental house.

In this way, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu began their begging careers in Guangzhou.

Winter goes to spring, flowers fall and bloom, and time is fleeting. More than two years have passed, the puppies they play with on the street have grown a lot, the wildflowers they picked on the side of the road have grown again, and they have also met a few friends of the same age who also live in low-rent houses, although those friends often bully the two of them.

Xiaofeng has grown a lot taller, his courage has become bigger, his personality has become more naughty, and his brain has become smarter. Xiaoyu's hair has grown, and the two short little hair chirps have turned into two long braids, and her speech is also sharp, and her voice is sweeter when she calls her brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts.

They have all changed a lot, but what has not changed is that they are all simple, kind and afraid of Lao Li.

In the past two years, Lao Li's temper has become worse and worse, beating and scolding the two of them at every turn, smoking and drinking more and more frequently, looking at the sky in a daze from time to time, not knowing what he is thinking.

But when Lao Li is in a better mood, he will also teach them to learn some common words, and also teach them simple addition and subtraction, they have to take medicine when they are sick, they can't live when they die, they have to look at traffic lights when crossing the street, and what to shout when they see people of different ages.

Low-rent housing is really not a good place to live, winter is fine, close the doors and windows do not feel cold, in the summer it is fatal, Guangzhou summer solar energy put the outdoor food baked, plastic panel room is not a little thermal insulation function, as long as the sweat can not be stopped as soon as you enter the house, even if there is an electric fan, it still can't resist the heat of midsummer.

It's already March, Lao Li looked at sitting in a cool shade, shaking the fan in his hand, looking at the sun gradually setting in the west, thinking of the scorching heat of the summer of the previous two years, he didn't want to suffer this living sin anymore.

Lao Li used to work at the Zhengzhou construction site, and he was still familiar with it, but he was lazy and lazy and was quickly kicked out, it was summer at that time, although it was also hot, but it was not as hot as Guangzhou. Besides, there are a lot of people there, so I guess I can ask for a few more money.

After making up his mind, Lao Li went back to the house and said to the two little ones: "Clean up tomorrow morning, let's change places." ”
