Chapter 312: Gold Rush

Mr. Parking went to park, and Ji Deyue helped the three of them to the restaurant on the second floor.

After being hungry for a long time, Ji Deyue felt that she could swallow a cow at this moment, so she was particularly heroic when she ordered food, and the three of them ordered a large table.

The waiter didn't show anything special, and a little girl next to her caught Ji Deyue's attention.

She cowered in the corner and watched them secretly, and Ji Deyue found out that two waiters had gone over to remind the little girl of something, probably trying to let her out.

But the little girl was unmoved, and the waiter was not easy to catch up, and I didn't know whose child was left behind.

Ji Deyue looked at those eyes full of longing, and when she looked at her, she also looked at Ji Deyue, without fear, the longing in her eyes didn't know if it was the food on their table or what.

But Ji Deyue has seen it, the three of them have no luggage, only one table of dishes, and the only possibility is that she is hungry and wants to eat.

Ji Deyue tried to wave to the little girl, but the little girl didn't move, but her eyes looked at Ji Deyue without blinking.

Ji Deyue stood up and walked over and said, "Are you hungry, my sister ordered a lot of dishes, do you want to eat together?"

The little girl's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and she was pleasantly surprised: "Sister, can I?"

Ji Deyue nodded and smiled slightly: "Sister invited you to eat with us, of course." ”

Sure enough, I'm hungry, but where are the parents of such a small child?

The little girl happily walked to the table and said to Ji Deyue: "Sister, you are a good person!"

Lin Meili looked at Ji Deyue: "A person who is a mother exudes the brilliance of maternal love all over his body!"

Then he smiled and said to the little girl: "If you are hungry, you can eat as much as you want, if your sister is not enough to give you more, don't be restrained, my sisters are also orphans without father and mother." ”

The little girl's tears flowed down: "It turns out that the sisters are orphans, so pitiful!"

Lin Meili was stunned, how could she be pitied by this poor worm?

She said unconvinced: "My sisters used to be pitiful, but now they are not pitiful, what about you, according to what you say, you still have a family?"

The little girl wiped her tears and said, "Well, I have a grandmother, but my grandmother is old, sick, and bedridden, and I don't know what to do."

I went to the doctor, but I didn't have the money, and the doctor said I was a liar and didn't listen to me.

There was no food at home, and my grandmother was unconscious, so I came out to look for food, and followed a little brother on the road to come in here, and I saw that this was all a place to eat, and the little brother lost it, so I hid here, and when they closed the door, I wanted to bring something that others didn't want for my grandmother to eat!"

Ji Deyue's eyes were a little sour, if it wasn't for the master who took her in, she probably would be the same as this child, she didn't eat anything, and she didn't understand anything.

But at least she knows that she has a grandmother at home, a relative, and knows where to go back, even if there is no hope, she also knows how to find a way for the livelihood of her relatives.

Lin Meili touched a handful of tears, and gave a lot of vegetables to the little girl and said: "Eat, eat, you are lucky, we have a doctor here, take us to see after eating, maybe we can be cured!"

Ji Deyue's mouth paused, nodded and said with a smile: "I know how to heal, you don't have to worry too much, eat!"

Even if it is a trap or a crooked arrangement, in this case she can't verify the authenticity, she prefers to believe that it is true, compared to these, if the child has no grandmother, then it is destined to be a tragedy in the future.

Ji Deyue couldn't help but look at the child's embarrassed appearance, her appetite was open, she ate a lot, and her wife didn't know why, she had to look up at the little girl opposite from time to time.

Occasionally, Ji Deyue could still see a smile on her face that had almost disappeared, just like when she first met her.

Ji Deyue and Lin Meili exchanged glances, Lin Meili shook her head, and said don't ask, this must be the sad thing of the master's wife.

You may see this child thinking of her own child, or you may see her and Lin Meili ten years ago.

After eating, Ji Deyue asked the kitchen to make porridge and appetizers, packed them, and the little girl thanked them again and again, and then took Ji Deyue and them through an alley.

It's dark, and this narrow alley inexplicably gives people a sense of oppression.

The little girl said: "Sisters, don't be afraid, this is a slum, so the street lights are incomplete and the security is poor, but don't worry, I have been gone for so many years, and I have not had an accident once." ”

Ji Deyue looked at the little girl's open-mindedness and couldn't help laughing: "God will bless the innocent, but it's really dark here, you try to go out during the day and go home during the day in the future, it's very dangerous for you to be a child without the power of a chicken, don't be lucky!"

The little girl nodded and stuck out her tongue, Ji Deyue took out a flashlight from the treasure bag, and her feet instantly lit up a lot.

Along the way, the houses are indeed much more dilapidated and low than those seen on the street today, and they are relatively old, and the road surface is quite smooth, so it is estimated that you will not be tripped over if you smear it.

Occasionally, the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window would have a yellowish glow, which would save a lot of electricity.

The little girl saw Ji Deyue looking at the lights in other people's windows and said: "Not every household turns on the lights, some will go to bed as soon as it gets dark in order to save electricity, such as our family, when it gets dark, grandma never lets the lights be turned on, and goes to sleep in the dark, and gets up as soon as it is dawn." ”

Ji Deyue said curiously: "What about your parents?"

The little girl was silent for a while and didn't answer, Ji Deyue felt that the atmosphere was not right, and was about to say something, when the little girl choked up and spoke:

"Grandma said that my parents went out as soon as I was born, and she said that they followed others to pan for gold, and my parents said that the island was full of gold, and they would come back to see us when they got rich.

But in the past seven years, I have never seen them come back, let alone gold, nothing, and I am not the only one who has suffered like me.

Grandma said that they were just fools' dreams, that it was 50 years ago that they panned for gold, and now it is not as fast as going out to fish for money.

My grandmother was a fisherwoman when she was young, and she was able to support my father when she was young, but now that she is old, it is difficult to occasionally supplement fishing nets for others to feed me.

Occasionally, the host will give her a small fish or two when he sees that she is pitiful, and that is a big meal, and Dad said that fishing is too hard and he can't make money all year round, so he is not willing to learn to fish.

When I grow up, my dream is to inherit my grandmother's craft and be a fisherwoman, but I want to buy my own boat and go to the deep sea to catch sea cucumbers and abalone like everyone else!"

Ji Deyue smiled and stretched out her thumb and said: "If you have ambition, you want to do this, and then find a way to sell sea cucumber and abalone to our country, these things are very rare in our country, and the value is also high!"

The little girl clapped her hands happily: "Really, that's great, I'm very motivated now, I hope I can grow up soon!"

Ji Deyue is very uncomfortable, and today's children are looking forward to keeping their childhood, unwilling to grow up, and live a carefree life.

But some people will carry heavy burdens too early, pick up heavy burdens too early, and are not afraid that the years will bend their waists, this is a group of admirable people.

Turning a corner, Ji Deyue saw a wooden door, which was pitch black, and the walls connected by this wooden door were not familiar bricks and cement, but wooden planks one by one.

This is the first time I saw this kind of house in the first quarter of this year, and I was a little stunned, so I shone it from afar with a flashlight.

I saw that the little girl stretched out her hand and pushed open the wooden door, and the wooden door creaked, showing desolation in this empty night.

Ji Deyue looked at the little girl curiously, she beckoned, "Sister, I'm home!"

Ji Deyue only felt that there was still a difference between people at this moment, she was used to seeing high-rise buildings with bright lights, and she was only surprised when she looked at this wooden house.

And the little girl was born and raised here, this is a warm home, no matter how the outside changes, the home in her eyes remains the same.

has a warm family and Ji Deyue found out from the conversation between the little girl and them that she is never afraid of other people's eyes, how commendable!

Ji Deyue shone into the house with a flashlight, a total of about fifty square meters of space, you can see the end at a glance, there is a small wooden bed inside, and there is an old grandmother lying on the bed.

The little girl pulled the rope with her hand, and chirped, but the light was not turned on, Ji Deyue's flashlight shone on the bulb, but there was no response, she reached out and pulled it but still didn't respond.

The little girl said frustratedly: "We haven't used electricity for a long time, and the people who urge the electricity bill have come several times, and I haven't paid it if I don't have money, and it seems that they stopped paying the electricity to us if we don't pay the electricity bill." ”

Ji Deyue was stunned, big cities use their card numbers to automatically renew their fees, and there are still people here to collect them?

But Ji Deyue didn't want to ask this, he waved his hand and said, "That's okay, my sister has a way, you see!"

Ji Deyue took out a hood, put a flashlight on his head, and said, "So that I can see your grandmother." ”

Ji Deyue was about to sit on the small stool after speaking, but as soon as she was next to her, she felt that the stool was shaking, so she quickly stood up and looked at her grandmother's eyes.

She was afraid that the stool would disperse, Lin Meili looked around, the house was surrounded by walls, the most conspicuous thing was this bed, and there was an earthen pot in the corner.

Lin Meili said: "How do you usually eat on that stove?"

The little girl looked at the stove and said, "I have never lit it, my grandmother used to light it, she would pick up some wood from the nearby mountains and forests, and the seaweed that was regularly cleaned in the sea, she would also bring it back to dry and use it to light a fire." ”

Lin Meili nodded: "Alas, Ji Deyue, this is more bitter than when we were children, we haven't seen this kind of thing there!"

Ji Deyue said while watching: "That's because you didn't go to the countryside and didn't see it." ”

Ji Deyue has been to many places, and these are no longer strange, and her hands-on ability is relatively strong, and she can eat without a stove.

The little girl said enviously: "It turns out that my sister's place is so good, isn't it happy?"

Lin Meili thought about it sadly and said, "Look at what your definition of happiness is, do you think you are as happy as your grandmother?"
