About half an hour or so passed, and when Chu Tian drove to the mouth of a dilapidated alley, Zhou Jie had already seen Chu Tian from a distance.

"Chutian, I'm afraid it's unhygienic to eat outside, so let's eat at my house." Zhou Jie said with a smile

Chu Tian didn't say anything, nodded, in fact, helping Zhou Jie was a convenient task for Chu Tian, but Chu Tian didn't expect the other party to remember it so much.

After Chu Tian followed Zhou Jie into an alley, Chu Tian couldn't help but look at it.

This alley has a long history, all of them are bungalows, some of the houses are already dilapidated, and it seems that no one has lived in them for a long time, and the alley is also very narrow, and it may not be easy for even three people to walk side by side......

Thinking of this, Chu Tian looked at Zhou Jie and asked, "Do you live here?" ”

Zhou Jie was a little embarrassed after hearing this, but still smiled and said, "The conditions are a little poor......

Chu Tian didn't say anything after hearing this, but he thought in his heart if he could introduce Zhou Jie to Tang Ming or Wang Xi's company to do some work, so that life would be better.

"Chu Tian, it's here" Zhou Jie said to Chu Tian with a smile after stopping in front of a bungalow, and then said to the house, "Smile, hurry, open the door." ”

After a while, the door was opened from the inside with a "pop", and then a timid little girl stood in the door and looked at Chu Tian.

The little girl is very cute, with a pigtail, a pair of dark eyes that are very smart, but she seems to be very afraid of life and does not dare to look directly at Chu Tian, and although the clothes she wears are clean and tidy, they are all washed and white and faded from nowhere.

"Laughing, no politeness. Don't hurry up and call my brother. Zhou Jie saw her daughter standing in the door like this and didn't say anything, just glanced at Chutian from time to time. So he hurriedly said

But even when she heard her mother's words, the little girl said nothing.

"It's fine. Xiaoxiao, how old are you? Although Chu Tian is not the kind of person who likes children very much, he definitely doesn't hate it, so he still laughed after hearing it

But the little girl still didn't say a word, Zhou Jie was a little anxious, and hurriedly took two steps forward and grabbed the little girl's arm to make a gesture to beat, but before she could start, she heard Chu Tiandao, "The child is still young, don't fight." ”

After Chu Tian finished speaking, he saw Zhou Jie stop. said to Zhou Jie again, "It's okay, the child is small, and it's okay to be afraid." ”

"Okay, then leave her alone, let's come in." Zhou Jie said, and hurriedly took her daughter's hand and walked in.

When he entered the house, Chu Tian took a look and found that it was about ten square meters in total, and a small half of the house was surrounded by curtains. It seems to be a bedroom, while the rest of the place is already full with a table and a few chairs.

"Chu, Mr. Chu, I'll still call you Mr. Chu" seems to be because the place where he lives is too simple. So Zhou Jie felt a little inferior.

"If you call me that again, I'll leave." Chu Tian deliberately said in a deep voice

"Okay, Chu, Chutian. Then I'll go cook first...... Smile and talk to your brother. He said. Zhou Jie hurriedly walked out of the house with the dishes, as if the kitchen was not here.

watched Zhou Jie walk out. Chu Tian looked at the little girl who had been lowering her head and not speaking, and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, you haven't told me how old you are?" ”

But the little girl didn't even lift her head, as if she hadn't heard.

Chu Tian couldn't help but chuckle, and then continued, "In this way, if you tell me your age, I will give you a gift, how about it?" ”

As he spoke, Chu Tian took out a gift he had bought before from his arms and handed it to the little girl.

And when she heard the word gift, the little girl really raised her head and looked at Chu Tian, then at the wrapped gift box in Chu Tian's hand, and then opened her mouth and said nothing.

"Xiaoxiao, don't you want a gift?" Chu Tian chuckled and said

Sure enough, after repeated temptations, the little girl still nodded "I want"

Chu Tian listened to the little girl's clear voice and said with a smile, "Then tell me how old you are?" ”

“…… Ten years old" The little girl's black and white eyes looked at the gift in Chu Tian's hand without blinking, and said in a low voice

"Okay, I'll mean what I say, and this is for you." After Chu Tian finished speaking, he handed over the gift wrapped in his hand.

And after getting it in her hand, the little girl looked at Chu Tian again, and then seemed to want to say thank you, but she still didn't say it.

Chu Tian didn't care, just watched the little girl open the box little by little, but he thought that the little girl would like the very delicate crystal ball she bought, but she only saw a disappointed look.

Chu Tian couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoxiao, don't you like it?" ”

But when the little girl heard this, she looked at the crystal ball and whispered "yes"

"Then why do you look so unhappy?" Chu Tian was puzzled

The little girl looked up at Chu Tian, her eyes had a different look, but in the end, she just lowered her head and said nothing.

Chu Tian saw that the little girl seemed to be really afraid of life, so he didn't answer anything, so he had to stop saying anything.

After a while, the door was pushed open, and Zhou Jie had already walked in with a few dishes.

"Chutian, try it, these dishes are my specialties, I used to like to eat ...... the most" After speaking, Zhou Jie seemed to inadvertently talk about her husband, and immediately felt a little depressed after being stunned.

And Chu Tian noticed Zhou Jie's expression and asked, "How did he go?" ”

It seems that the family is poor, so Zhou Jie is still relatively strong, and when she said this, she didn't wipe her tears like Yang Xue's mother, she just sighed, and then looked at her daughter who bowed her head and didn't speak, and then said, "We came to the north of S Province for an estimated month, but after I came here, I was fascinated by the lottery, and I said that I could make a million profits......

"I said let him take care of it, otherwise it will definitely outweigh the loss, sure enough, although he won 10,000 yuan, but he was hit on the way to the provincial fucai center." Zhou Jie sighed

"Didn't the perpetrators compensate?" Chu Tian hurriedly asked

"I lost it, but that little money was only enough to cremate my mouth...... At that time, it was said that I was slightly injured by the collision, and after the perpetrator sent me to the hospital, he said that he had a serious illness before, and he just lost some money. Zhou Jie said, shaking her head helplessly.

Chu Tian also knew that this was the other party bullying Zhou Jie was an honest rural person, who didn't understand anything, and he didn't know anyone before he dared to do this......

"Hey, I'm inviting you to dinner this time, why am I talking about these unhappy things, come, you can taste it." Zhou Jie came back to her senses and hurriedly faced Chu Tiandao

Chu Tian also nodded, didn't say anything, but picked up a chopstick eggplant, and as soon as he took it, he felt that it was not worse than what he had eaten in the hotel in the past two days.

"Your dish is as good as the hotel's." Chu Tian said with a smile

Zhou Jie seemed to be very confident when she talked about this, and after hearing this, she was busy, "That's right, I've been practicing all my life, if I can't copy it well, it's not too stupid." ”

Chu Tian chuckled and nodded.

This meal was eaten relatively quickly, after all, Zhou Jie didn't know how to speak, and Chu Tian didn't want to say these things, so it was almost finished in about twenty minutes, and the banquet was still eating silently, only occasionally glanced at Chu Tian, as if he wanted to say something, but Chu Tian didn't notice it.

"It's not too early, I'll leave first" After eating, Chu Tian looked at the time and said

Zhou Jie originally wanted Chu Tian to sit again, but when he looked left and right, he found that he had nothing to entertain, so he had to nod and smile, "Okay, I'll come back when I have time in the future." ”

Chu Tian nodded with a smile, then looked at the little girl and said with a smile, "Next time, I'll give you another gift." ”

Then Chu Tian pushed the door and walked out, walking towards the car he parked at the entrance of the alley.

But after taking two steps, Chu Tian inadvertently touched his pocket, but found that he seemed to have forgotten to take the phone, so he walked back again.

But when he just walked to the door of Zhou Jie's house, there was a voice inside.

"Mom, how much is this crystal ball worth?" The little girl's clear voice rang out.

Zhou Jie seemed stunned after hearing this, and then said, "Xiaoxiao, why are you asking this?" ”

"I, I want to go to school." The voice of laughter and cowardice sounded, but although it was cowardly, it was very firm.

"Xiaoxiao, it's useless for girls to go to school, don't you see that I haven't gone to school?" Zhou Jie seems to have said these words many times, so she seems to be a little impatient.

"But, but we have enough money, why can't we let me go to school?" The little girl seemed to know why her mother didn't let her go to school, so she hurried to say

Zhou Jie was stunned, then sighed, and then said, "It's still not enough, I'll go and see it, even if you go to the most ordinary elementary school, you will be promoted to junior high school in two years, and you will really not be able to pay it then...... Mom doesn't have any skills, she really can't afford it. ”

The little girl didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, she still asked, "Mom, how much can this crystal ball sell for?" I can go and clean someone else, or pick up some bottles to make money...... I, I really want to go to school. ”

"...... you" Zhou Jie was just about to say something, when suddenly the door was pushed open, Zhou Jie looked at it and was stunned.

It was Chu Tian who was standing outside the door, and Chu Tian finally couldn't listen anymore when he heard this, so he pushed the door open.

"Chu, Mr. Chu......" Zhou Jie was very embarrassed at the moment, and immediately dared not look at Chu Tian.

When the little girl saw Chu Tian walking in, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she lowered her head again and didn't say anything more.

"I heard it all," Chu Tian said directly, "That's it, Xiaoxiao, I have the money to go to school." ”

In fact, Chu Tian was not such a kind person, but this time he was a little unable to stand by coldly. (To be continued......)
