Qian Jing's cry alarmed the management in the compound, and from Humpty Dumpty's office, there was a stern question. This shout and question frightened Jing'er, who was crying in Xiao Yao's arms, to stop crying all of a sudden, and hugged Xiao Yao tightly, not daring to make a sound.

"It's okay leader, it's the little girl who is homesick and misses her parents. ”

"Oh, your name is Xiao Zhan, this grandfather and grandson are also weird, you can help take care of them more, we can't help them, so many people have to be taken care of every day, and we can't take care of them." ”

Humpty Dumpty walked out, saw Xiao Yao holding Jing'er in his arms, and secretly told Xiao Yao to take good care of her. These words made Xiao Yao, who originally disliked him very much, change his opinion and realize that there are still many kind people in this world, but he can't help him in his position.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her and her grandfather, and we'll escort them all the way home this time. ”

"You can see that you are a good young man, this little girl is here, no one has ever taken care of her, you just came, and you helped her wash it clean. What a beautiful and well-behaved girl, this god is evil. If you need my help, just come to me, and I'll try to make it as convenient as possible for you. ”

"Thank you, leader. ”

"Don't be so polite, as soon as you come, I can see that you are different from these people, scholars, exquisite, and upright, not like a person who does evil, so I arrange for you to read the newspaper and add a steamed bun to you, you and your companion tomorrow night, each read the newspaper for fifteen minutes, and I will give you a steamed bun, even if it is for a little girl." It's good for you to master it yourself. ”

Humpty Dumpty finished speaking, and without waiting for Xiao Yao to speak, he turned around and went back to his office.

"Brother Xiao, why is this fat uncle so good to you? He is fierce to others, and the people here, whether it is us or theirs, are afraid of him. ”

"Jing'er, you're wrong, this fat uncle is not good to me, he is good to you, you have to be obedient. You can't say what you just heard, you know?"

"I know, Brother Xiao, but is he really good to me? I've been here for a long time, and I haven't seen him treat me well. ”

"Silly Jing'er, don't ask, my brother said yes, can my brother still lie to you?"

"Well, Jing'er listens to my brother. However, Brother Xiao, Jing'er is not stupid. ”

"Okay, Jing'er is not stupid, Jing'er is a very smart little girl. Okay. ”

"I knew that Brother Xiao was coaxing me. I'm sure that even if Uncle Fat is good to me, it will be because of Brother Xiao that you will be good to me. ”

When Xiao Yao met this more serious Qian Jing, he really didn't have any temper at all, so he had to carry her back to his residence.

"Alas, little brother, this Jing'er has never been so affectionate to an outsider except for her parents, even if she is tired of walking, she will not ask me to hug her, this is the reason why she feels sorry for me when I am old. But let alone others, she never let anyone hold her. She used to have a younger brother, who fell ill and died when she was very young, and now her parents can't take care of her, but I didn't expect her to be so attached to you, and you care for her so much. What a blessing for her. ”

"Grandpa Qian, how far is the provincial capital of your family?"

"Our home is in the north of the provincial capital, close to the Huai River, every time we go back, when we arrive at the transit station, it is not far from our home. We'll be let go. Then, we came out again to ask for food, and we were caught again, and so on, how to say, there is food here, and we won't starve Jing'er to death, right? ”

"Then don't you have to pay for a ticket every time?"

"How can we have the money to buy a ticket, just spend five cents, buy a platform ticket, pretend to be a person to see off, get on the train and not get down, find it and be sent to the repatriation station, if you are lucky, you can hide in Shanghai, be sheltered for a few more days, if you are unlucky, you will be directly dropped at the small station, we will ask for food locally, ask for some money to buy a platform ticket to get on the train. ran all the way to Shanghai, such a round trip, at least a month. If we really want to ask for food outside, our grandfather and grandson will starve to death long ago. ”

"Then this time you have arrived at the transit station, don't you go? Come with me to the provincial capital, and I will arrange for you to go home." ”

"Your home is a provincial city, I'm afraid this won't work, we all have a registered address at the repatriation station, and we all deliver according to the address. ”

"Grandpa Qian, do you know that fat man, who is doing something here? Can he change your address?"

"He's the stationmaster here, he's very strict, and he calls him the fat stationmaster behind his back, and no one has ever mentioned his surname. I've been here so many times, and I've never seen him smile at anyone, and I don't know if he can change it. We have received your wishes, and it is already a great blessing for you to take care of Jing'er along the way, so don't trouble you too much. ”

"Brother Xiao, I'm sleepy, you and grandpa will talk about it tomorrow, you take me to sleep, okay?"

Just when Xiao Yao was about to chat with Grandpa Qian a few more words, Jing'er came over and grabbed the corner of Xiao Yao's clothes, and her charming little eyes couldn't be opened.

"Okay, my brother will take you to wash your face, wash your feet, and then come to sleep. ”

"This girl, I called you big brother in the afternoon, and now I call you little brother again?"

"Grandpa Qian, Jing'er didn't call me little brother, I told her, my surname is Xiao, and she heard it as a little brother when she shouted. ”

"Grandpa, it's your ears that are closed and you can't hear clearly, my name is Brother Xiao. ”

"Now I can hear it clearly, it's grandpa's ears closed. But his little brother, no one here sleeps at night, and everyone who has to wash their faces and feet just sleeps like this. It's all wandering sweat, not so much exquisite. ”

Xiao Yao didn't say much to Grandpa Qian, picked up Jing'er, and came to the tap pool. There was no towel, no foot cloth, so I used my own hands, little by little, to copy water, help Jing'er's face and feet, wash them cleanly, touch my face, carry Jing'er back to the room, put Jing'er on the edge of her banpu, and lie down with clothes.

After this series of actions, Jing'er, who was well-behaved, didn't say a word, and let Xiao Yao wash her. She never knew that she had to wash her face and feet before going to bed, and for the first time she was enjoying the very strange happiness that Xiao Yao brought her. In the short time from eating dinner to going to bed, in her young heart, she developed great trust and dependence on Xiao Yao.

"Brother Xiao, can you sleep with Jing'er in your arms?"

"Jing'er, don't mess around, go to sleep by yourself, haven't you slept by yourself until now?"

"Grandpa. ”

Jing'er saw that her grandfather didn't let her sleep with Xiao Yao, and she was about to cry when she was wronged, so she called out to her grandfather, and pulled the thin quilt and got in.

"Jing'er, you can sleep in peace, my brother will show you on the side. Make sure you sleep with each person disturbed. ”

"Brother Xiao, you won't leave when Jing'er is asleep, right? Jing'er will see Brother Xiao when she opens her eyes tomorrow. ”

"I promise you'll be the first one you'll see tomorrow, so you'll sleep now, okay?"

"Her little brother, I'm really embarrassed, this kid has always been very well-behaved, never pestering people, and I'm causing you trouble today. ”

Looking at Jing'er, who was gradually falling asleep, Grandpa Qian explained embarrassedly to Xiao Yao.
