Chapter 40: The Little Girl Who Sells Flowers

The little girl selling flowers in front of her has a small appearance that people like at first sight, and the most attractive thing is undoubtedly her big eyes that seem to be able to speak, pure and flawless.

She didn't tie up the cute little braids, but wore long soft hair that reached her neck, Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi both felt that if they changed the little girl's clothes and dressed up well, she would definitely become a cute little princess, not a little girl who "sold matches".

Wang Ke looked at the look of expectation in the little girl's jewel-like black and shining eyes, and suddenly he felt that he couldn't bear to refuse this cute child, turned his head to look at Li Ruoxi, Wang Ke squatted in front of the little girl with a smile, and said softly: "Little sister, why did you come out to sell flowers by yourself?" What about your family? ”

The little girl's eyes suddenly burst into a bright light, it was a happy look, looking at Wang Ke's kind face, the little girl said with a smile: "My brother said that he said that he had something, I know that he must be working again to make money, big brother, my brother loves me very much." ”

Wang Ke was puzzled: "What about your parents?" ”

The happy look on the little girl's face slowly subsided, turned her head to look at a young couple not far away, holding the little boy dressed in a foreign style in the middle, her eyes showed a trace of envy, and then she looked at Wang Ke, shook her head and said: "I don't have parents and parents, since I can remember, I have followed my brother, and my brother raised me." ”

Wang Ke was slightly stunned, while Li Ruoxi followed Wang Ke's example, squatted down and stroked the little girl's smooth long hair, and said softly: "Then how old is your brother?" You're going to live with your brother? ”

The little girl bit her lower lip and nodded silently.

However, her mood adjusted quickly, and her gloomy expression was quickly replaced by a bright smile, and she said with a smile in that childish voice: "Big brother, big sister, don't look at me without my parents, but my brother is better than my parents!" In order to support me, my brother also had to buy medicine for me to see a doctor, and it was very tiring to make money, and many times when he went back, his body was very painful, and those wounds, my brother suffered a lot. Big brother, you can buy a rose and give it to your big sister! If you buy my flowers, I will be able to earn money to support my brother, by the way, my brother fell and injured himself again yesterday, and I don't want my brother to suffer. ”

Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi glanced at each other, and both of them saw the sourness in each other's eyes at the same time.

Li Ruoxi stretched out his hand and pulled the little girl into his arms, and asked softly, "Little sister, how old is your brother this year?" ”

The little girl stretched out her left hand, moved her fingers, and said with a smile: "My brother is eleven and a half years old this year. ”

Eleven and a half years old?

An eleven-and-a-half-year-old child has to shoulder the burden of raising his younger sister?

The two of them were sour in their hearts, Wang Ke looked at the dozen roses in the little girl's flower basket, nodded and said, "Okay, how much does my brother buy your roses?" ”

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she immediately said eagerly: "Two yuan a piece, big brother, when I bought it from someone's flower garden, it was two cents a piece, if you think it is expensive, I will sell you that piece of five." ”

Wang Ke nodded and said, "Two yuan is not expensive, and the roses sold in those flower shops cost five yuan a piece!" You count me, and see how many roses there are in the basket, and I bought them all. Little sister, you see this sister is beautiful, right? Only many, many roses are worthy of her, right? ”

The little girl looked at Li Ruoxi, nodded without hesitation and smiled: "Well, the big sister is so beautiful, the best big sister I have ever seen." Xie Lu, big brother, you buy my flowers. ”

After saying this, she lowered her head, counted them one by one, and then said again: "There are twelve in total, if one is two yuan, it is twenty-four yuan, big brother, you just give me twenty yuan, I have already made money." ”

Wang Ke shook his head, reached out and took out his wallet from his clothes pocket, took out a fifty piece directly from it, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand, before he smiled: "This is fifty yuan, you take it first, I will buy twenty-four yuan from you first, and when we meet next time, you will sell me thirteen flowers, but we have to say okay, and the next time you give my brother roses, you are not allowed to collect any more money." ”

The little girl looked at the fifty yuan in her hand blankly, she had grown so big, although she had seen so much money, but she had never had that much money, fifty yuan, in her eyes was undoubtedly a very large amount.

The money she bought this time was still her usual frugality, and it was the pocket money her brother gave her, and she was reluctant to spend it, so she saved it for a long time.

"Brother Xie Luxie, you are a good person, and big sister is also a good person. I'll definitely buy flowers for you, by the way, big brother, so when will I give you flowers? The little girl asked innocently.

Wang Ke smiled: "If we have a chance to meet in the future, you can give me roses again." ”

After all, the little girl was too young, and she couldn't see that Wang Ke was giving her money in disguise, so she nodded heavily with a smile on her face.

Li Ruoxi stretched out her hand to take the roses handed over by the little girl, turned her head and glanced at Wang Ke, and then said to the little girl: "Little sister, what's your name?" Can my sister treat you to an ice cream? Look over there, there's ice cream over there. ”

The little girl blinked, her throat squirmed a few times when she glanced at the ice cream shop not far away, and then said: "Big sister, my name is Yaya, my brother always calls me Yaya, I don't want to eat ice cream, my brother said that you can't just ask for other people's things." ”

Li Ruoxi listened to the words of the little girl, and loved her even more in her heart, such a well-behaved and sensible child, where did she not want to eat ice cream, the wriggling throat was clearly swallowing saliva after hearing her words.

"Yaya, you don't just ask for other people's things, you helped my sister! Do you think, if it weren't for you, where would this big brother buy such beautiful roses for me? So I'm going to thank you very much, the ice cream was bought for you because my sister thanked you, okay? Don't disagree, if you don't agree, my sister will be sad, you don't want to see your sister sad, right? ”

Yaya's bright big eyes flashed with thought, and after a while, she nodded and said, "Yaya doesn't want my sister to be sad, so ...... Then I want to. ”

A few minutes later, Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi took a girl who was only six or seven years old to the ice cream shop, bought her a strawberry-flavored ice cream, and looked at her eating all over her face, and that little face was full of happy smiles, and both of them felt a burst of emotion in their hearts.

To make such a poor child happy, with just one ice cream, this child is too easily satisfied.

Li Ruoxi's eyes were moist, and she suddenly had a thought, she really wanted to adopt this little girl and raise her to adulthood.

However, this thought only flashed in her mind, and was finally vetoed by her, not to mention that this little girl also has a sensible and strong brother, even at this time, it also makes her have no skills, after all, the one-year agreement with the family makes her not have much time to take care of this little girl.

"I'll go out for a while, you wait for me here." Wang Ke suddenly spoke.

Li Ruoxi was slightly stunned, and then saw Wang Ke striding towards the opposite side of the street.

Two minutes later, when the little girl finished eating the strawberry ice cream, Wang Ke held a few strings of sugar gourds in her hands, quickly returned to Li Ruoxi and the little girl, stretched out her hand to Li Ruoxi A string of sugar gourds, and handed Yaya two strings of sugar gourds, Wang Ke smiled and said: "You guys eat, I have passed by here twice before, and found that the sugar gourd shop is doing very good business, and there were many people waiting in line to buy it." ”

Li Ruoxi was holding a sugar gourd in her hand, with tender and sweet words floating in her eyes, Wang Ke's actions made her feel that she was not looking at the wrong person, he was a caring man, whether it was to herself or to the little girl.

Turning around, Li Ruoxi bought another ice cream and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.

"Little girl, if it's not enough, I'll buy it for you again, eat it!"

The little girl's long eyelashes stirred, she looked at Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi gratefully, nodded happily and said: "Big brother, big sister, enough is enough, Yaya can't finish eating, I'll take it back and give my brother a taste, brother, he has never eaten ice cream and sugar gourd since he was a child!" Xie Lu Xie big brother and big sister. ”

A few minutes later, the little girl jumped up and ran away happily with ice cream and sugar gourds.

Li Ruoxi looked at Yaya's emaciated back, full of taste, turned her head, and when her eyes fell on Wang Ke's face, she said quietly: "Wang Ke, when we complete the agreement with the family, when we have the ability, shall we help these orphans?" They're so pathetic. ”

Wang Ke nodded without hesitation and said seriously: "No problem, if it weren't for the fact that we didn't have time to take care of her in the future, I almost wanted to adopt this lovely child just now." ”

Li Ruoxi's beautiful face bloomed with a dazzling smile like seduction, holding a rock sugar gourd in one hand, and grabbing Wang Ke's hand with the other, with a lot of force, and grasping very tightly.

In the evening, the two of them finished eating out and walked around the bustling street illuminated by street lamps for a long time before holding hands and returning to their residence.

What the two didn't expect was that when they returned to the door of the residence, they found that Tiezi was still kneeling outside the door, the door had been closed at the moment, and in the corridor, there were several middle-aged women pointing and discussing.

"Who the hell is this kid? Since last night when I got off the night shift, he was kneeling at the door, and he has been kneeling until now, and when I asked him what he said, he didn't say anything, and asked him to go home with me to eat, and he didn't agree, it's strange......"

"Yes! When I went out in the morning, I saw him kneeling here, couldn't he be a child of this family? It's too bad to be a parent, how can you let your child kneel outside, corporal punishment of children is not popular these days......"

"What a poor boy, he looks like he's only a teenager, right? If it were me, I wouldn't want my child to kneel outside......"

"This child's body is trembling, he has been kneeling for so long, he must be about to hold on, alas, evil, who made this poor child kneel here?"

“……”

Wang Ke's brows furrowed deeply, and he also felt a complicated taste flowing in his heart.

He opened his mouth and wanted to open his mouth to get Tiezi up, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them again. It's not that he's ruthless, it's that Tiezi hurts his heart too much, he thought he was a sensible, well-behaved, and firm child, but he ended up stealing other people's money, which really made him difficult to accept.

Ignoring the middle-aged women who were talking about the staircase, Wang Ke bypassed the iron, took out the key directly to open the door, and strode in.

And Li Ruoxi's face showed distress, quickly came to Tiezi's side, squatted down and said softly: "Tiezi, what are you doing here?" It's been so long that you've been on your knees, and you hurry up. ”

The tears in Tiezi's eyes were swirling, but looking at the back of Wang Ke walking into the door, he still shook his head stubbornly and was silent.
