1015 Past 2 (thanks to Runde for the tip)
Xiao Xue'er tilted her head and thought about it, and then asked uneasily: "Uncle, do you have a house that doesn't leak rain? Is the house big? If I go, can I live there?"
Because when they lived in the ruined temple, every rainy day, the ruined temple would leak rain and water everywhere, drenching the meadow where they were tired and resting and the straw shop that was used as a cover, so that they couldn't sleep well at night, so they had to huddle together with their body temperature to warm each other.
At that time, she was thinking about how good it would be if the rain didn't leak when it rained in the place where they lived, and the dry hands and feet could lie on the grass so that she and her big brothers could sleep well.
I don't know what kind of house Uncle Mei's house is, will it leak as often as the broken temple they live in?
But seeing that Uncle Mei is dressed so beautifully, maybe the family is also very rich, right?
So the house he lives in should be as good as those rich people, and it can shelter from the wind and rain, right?
"My house is very big, you should be able to live there, and there is no leakage. ”
Uncle Mei's voice was full of laughter.
This little girl is so funny.
When Cher heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Uncle Mei glanced at the little fairy opposite, and saw that her brows were tightly knit and she suddenly showed a look of great relaxation, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up happily.
Such a small little guy, it is difficult to have such a rich expression on her face, it must be wonderful to have her to live with Feng'er.
"Now tell Uncle, has Cher thought about it, would you like to go to my house and be with my daughter?"
"Okay, I'll go. I'll go. ”
Cher nodded fiercely.
is such a good person as Uncle Mei, his daughter must also be a good person.
And there is a big house that does not leak rain to live in, which is great, so let's go to the uncle's house.
However, in order not to annoy people, Xiao Xue'er still patted her chest and said that she was very capable, like serving tea and water, cleaning, laundry and cooking, even if she didn't know how to do it at the beginning, she could learn it, and she would definitely not go to eat idle meals to make the uncle feel at a loss.
This made Uncle Mei very emotional, compared with his daughter who didn't know the hardships outside and had fine clothes and food, this little girl seemed too sensible, no wonder the children of the poor were in charge early.
And as long as this request is very satisfied, he also knows how to respect and love himself, and shows that he will never go to eat his family's idle meal.
He looked at the pile of layers of clothes on Xue'er's body, but the tattered clothes did not block the wind at all, and felt very pity in his heart.
This dress looks like someone gave it to her, and the fat one doesn't fit at all.
But the little guy also looks very smart, in order to make the clothes close to the body a little warmer, the little guy is tied to the waist with a straw rope, and the clothes are tightly strangled, so that the clothes do not fall down.
And look at the straw shoes on her feet are already worn out, and the straw ropes and soles on them are about to wear out.
Looking at the little one's almost bare toes, he felt cold and panicked for her.
Uncle Mei felt heavy in his heart: This child is still so young, if he hadn't met him, this winter would be so cold, I don't know if this child can survive under such difficult conditions?
The world is so chaotic, who would have thought of taking care of a child's life?
"Good boy, hurry up and eat, after eating, the uncle will take you to the ready-to-wear shop to buy cotton clothes and shoes, your clothes are so thin and don't block the wind, you must feel very cold." ”
Cher has now finished a large bowl of steaming wontons, and her head is sweating from eating.
Now she's grappling with the remaining warm wonton soup.
In fact, her little belly was already full, but this delicious soup was thrown away like this, which made her feel very sorry.
That's why I cherish it and drink it one bite at a time.
Unexpectedly, she suddenly heard such surprising news again, which made her suddenly stop the movements in her hand, maintaining the state of holding the spoon in one hand and the bowl in the other, and raised her head in disbelief and stared at Uncle Mei in a daze.
Is this pie in the sky?
Or did you hit the luck of meeting a nobleman?
Seeing the little guy's big black eyes staring at him, his small mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned and very cute, so Uncle Mei couldn't help but reach out and touch her little head.
Cher came to her senses.
I felt that Uncle Mei's big hand on her head was very warm, so warm that her nose was sour and she wanted to cry.
She lowered her head, picked up the large soup bowl, and poured the soup down with a snort.
Uncle Mei thought it was very strange when he saw it, and thought that the little girl had not eaten enough because she was hungry, but this big bowl of wontons was the amount of an adult.
When he asked the reason, he felt very distressed.
Because Xue'er replied to him with a serious face: "Uncle, I have eaten to my heart's content, but I just feel that this soup is lost, it's a pity." There's oil and salt in it. ”
There are not many leftovers of cold rice that they beg for like this.
I can't afford to waste it.
Uncle Mei sighed slightly after listening to her words, bent down after settling the account with the boss, and picked up this distressing little girl without disgust.
was caught off guard and picked up by Uncle Mei, and Xue'er's face was red with shame at first.
is so dirty and smelly on his body, will the uncle hold himself like this and stain his clothes?
But the uncle's embrace is so warm, and it seems to be as warm as his father's embrace in a trance.
Suddenly, a memory from a long, long time ago was triggered: Daddy had hardly stopped hugging her since he was drunk.
Instead, they often hold wine bottles or jars......
The thing she once longed for the most was within reach, so she was really reluctant to ask to come down and leave this warm embrace.
Uh-huh, let's just think this is my daddy......
So she lay quietly in Uncle Mei's arms, obediently motionless and greedily feeling this rare warmth.
"Good boy, do you remember the past, and do you have any relatives at home?"
Uncle Mei suddenly asked her again.
Let her little head be excited.
In fact, Xue'er can't remember all the things in the past, and almost all of her life experiences have been told by others.
I heard that when she was born, when her mother gave birth to herself, she had a blood breakdown because of dystocia, and everyone was helpless.
In the end, the midwife couldn't stand it anymore, and hugged her crying self to her mother's side, so that their mother and daughter could take another look and leave without regrets.
The dying mother looked at her with all her strength and then left, and it was her father who raised her with grief and pulled her by hand.
She still doesn't know what her mother looks like.
But I heard that she looks very much like her mother, and her father is also born suave, and in the eyes of others, she is a talented woman.
Her father is a showman, and his family is also well-off, so after his mother died, many matchmakers came to the door to propose marriage.
And the ones mentioned are all yellow flower girls.
But her father didn't want her to suffer a little grievance, and he was willing to work harder for herself, pulling her to grow up as both a father and a mother;
Second, he also has no regrets about his wife, and he has rejected many people's proposals for this.
Therefore, her father offended many people, but many people praised her father for being an infatuation and being loyal to his deceased wife.
But because of the death of her mother, the blow to her father was too great, and her father always couldn't help but look at her sad and cry.
Because she looked too much like her mother, her father was very sad when he saw it, and he often hid alone and was sad, and when he thought of his mother, he borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and as a result, when she was three years old, her depressed father got drunk after drinking a jar of wine, and never woke up again.
And her good days of worry-free food and clothing are over.
I heard that after the so-called clansmen buried her father, she was ruthlessly thrown out by the clansmen after crying and fainting, and when she woke up, she found that she was lying in a ruined temple.
Looking at the other children in the temple dressed in tatters, she cowered in the corner in horror, her small body trembling, and she kept crying and wanted to go home.
The children, who looked older than her, were hurt by her howl, and coaxed her with the wild fruits they had picked, and told her the truth.
I heard them say that they are ominous people who are not blessed with their fathers and mothers.
The two people who threw her here said that they were afraid that if someone like her who was extremely unknown to her father and mother stayed in the clan, it would bring them bad luck, and if they didn't do well, they would die in the future.
So after unanimous discussion among the clan, she was driven out by those ruthless and unrighteous clansmen.
Several of her family's big houses have also been seized by the clansmen, even if you go back to your child's house, you can't grab it back, it can be said that it is difficult to return home.
And she herself didn't recognize the way home, so she accepted her fate.
Fortunately, the children saw that she was young and suffered such a catastrophe, and they took great care of her very much, and a big brother also said to the ignorant that he would cover her in the future, and if he had a bite to eat, she would have a mouthful.
They also shared a little of the food they begged for, and when they went to beg, they would take her with them, so that she could learn from them so that they could beg separately and independently.
For if they all gathered together in one place to beg, they would not get anything.
So it's better to spread out, and in the bustling bazaar, a few people spread out, so that there is a little more chance of getting alms of food or copper plates.
Now Xiao Xue'er can come out to beg independently.
The warmth that I once had, I cherish it when I lose it.
Whenever she saw the carefree children on the street who were held or led by their parents, her eyes were full of envy.
