Zhang Yao's snack bar is not a commercial street in the first place, and there are no office buildings, and there are not many people coming and going on the street at the door at this time, but there are often cars speeding by.

Playing with my mobile phone, watching the cars coming and going at the door in a daze, I saw a little girl cowardly appear at the door, covered with gray and black face, I don't know what the situation is.

Originally, Zhang Yao didn't care, but after two or three minutes, he looked up and saw that he was still there, biting his fingers and looking at the rice noodle poster on the wall, his big eyes were full of pitiful, this seems to be his stomach, right?

Zhang Yao walked out and looked around, a few passers-by were in a hurry, not like someone with children, if this little girl was carried by someone, it seemed impossible to let her be dirty.

Could it be that it is lost? Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Yao squatted in front of the little girl and smiled: "Little sister, why are you alone, your mother?" ”

The little girl looks like she is five or six years old, but she can communicate, Zhang Yao's harmless smiling face is also very friendly, at this age, she would not have any defenses, so she said timidly: "My mother went to buy vegetables." ”

Grocery shopping? There are no supermarkets or farmers' markets in the vicinity, so where can I buy groceries? If you live here and go to other places to buy groceries, you won't leave such a young daughter behind, right?

I couldn't figure it out, so I could only continue to ask, "Little sister, do you live here?" Did your mom tell you to wait here for her to come back? ”

The little girl shook her head, her eyes still staring at the poster on the wall of the store, and said, "I came with my mother to buy groceries, and I can't find my mother." Big brother, Qingqing is hungry. ”

Sure enough, she was lost, Zhang Yao gently patted the ashes on her body, stood up and pulled her into the store, and when she washed her hands and face, she found that there was a lot of skin on her hands, which should have been caused by a fall.

"Little sister, your name is Qingqing, right? Wash your hands before eating, wash your hands and cook rice noodles for you to eat, okay? ”

"Okay, thank you, brother." The little girl nodded heavily, and knew how to thank her, which can be seen from the fact that her parents usually educate her very well.

After getting her a bowl of rice noodles, Zhang Yao took the opportunity to ask around, and he had never seen the shops around before, so he was basically sure that the little girl's home was not nearby.

After eating, the little girl wiped her mouth and sat motionless obediently, and after a pause, she mustered up the courage to say again: "Brother, Qingqing is thirsty and wants to drink water." ”

Soda and light spring water are sold in the store, but Zhang Yao brought her a bowl of papaya water, children should like this more, and after she thanked her again, Zhang Yao asked: "Qingqing, do you know how to go home?" ”

"Brother, I don't know." The little girl shook her head.

If the distance is too far, it is really impossible to know, Zhang Yao had to ask again: "Then do you know your mother's phone number?" I called her to pick you up. ”

"Brother, my mom just changed the phone, I can't remember."

"And what about your dad?"

"Qingqing doesn't have a father." The little girl's words were unexpected, but she didn't seem to care, probably not understanding what it meant.

I don't know if it's a single-parent family or the early death of my father, in short, it's not a good thing, Zhang Yao couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Then brother call the police uncle and ask the police uncle to send you back to find your mother, okay?" ”

The little girl didn't know anything, so she could only call the police for help, Zhang Yao took out her mobile phone and dialed 110, explaining the situation Not a few minutes later, two policemen, a man and a woman, quickly drove to the store.

After briefly inquiring about the situation, he signed his name as the policeman, and the police took the little girl away, and the little girl waved goodbye to her before leaving.

He also waved his hand, and only turned around to come back after the police car went away, and happened to pass by a gray-haired old woman, whose face was very haggard, but she still inevitably asked gossiping: "Young man, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, there is a little girl who is lost, so I called the police for help." Zhang Yao still responded politely, and then walked back to the store, but the old woman also walked in.

"Grandma, do you want to eat something?" I wondered if this old lady was gossiping a little too much, but the visitor was a guest, and Zhang Yao still asked very politely.

The old grandmother smiled and said, "Bring me a bowl of three fresh rice noodles, just put less on it, I can't finish eating more." I'm here for you, young man. ”

I thought she was here to gossip, but I didn't expect it to be a regular customer again, Zhang Yao smiled wryly and said, "Okay." Grandma, then you do it first, and I'll do it for you. ”

"It's a very nice environment, and I can see that a lot of thought has been put into it." The old grandmother sat down and looked around, and said, "Young man, I see that you are not very old, and you are still studying, right?" ”

"I haven't read it anymore." Zhang Yao responded, and then asked, "Grandma, seeing that your body is not very good, I won't put the chili pepper on you, okay?" ”

"Okay." The old grandmother responded simply, then sighed, and said: "In the past, I didn't like such a light food, how could I eat without chili, but now my body can't help it, and I haven't eaten chili for a long time." ”

"Grandma, you're the same as me, but your body is still important, and you have to avoid it when you should avoid it." Zhang Yao made rice noodles and brought them over to the old grandmother.

"That's true, but my current body is useless, in fact, there is no need at all." The grandmother said such things not as pessimism, but as a feeling of being pessimistic about life and death.

"Grandma, look at what you said, how can you." Zhang Yao didn't know what her body was, so he could only say some general things.

The old grandmother took the initiative to say: "Young man, don't you know, I have stomach cancer, and my entire stomach has been removed, and no matter how it is, there are not many days left." ”

"Can you still eat after your stomach is cut?" Zhang Yao subconsciously asked, and then realized that this was not appropriate, so he could only smile again.

In Zhang Yao's cognition, cancer is incurable and can only wait for death, and this is indeed the case. This grandmother's stomach is cut, how can she digest it?

The old grandmother didn't care about Zhang Yao's surprise, but explained: "I'm using jejunum instead of stomach now, of course I can eat things, but it's very troublesome, not only can I not eat a lot of things, I can't eat too much every time, I can only eat less and more meals." ”

"It's relatively good now, but at the beginning, I could only eat liquids, and it took me almost a year to eat like a normal person."

The grandmother couldn't stop as soon as she opened the chatterbox, and told Zhang Yao the original, this is not over, she was chatting with him while eating, probably because of illness, the speed of eating was very slow, and there was more time to chat with him.
