Chapter 58: Poor Child

If according to the sixth son's idea, if a young person asks for food, if someone can take him in, he will definitely be desperate, but why is this child unwilling?

Liuzi looked at the child in front of him and asked, why don't you agree.

The child said, "If I go with you, my father will starve to death."

The child finished packing up his things, picked up the two chicken legs that he was not willing to eat, and said, I'm leaving, thank you, you are a good person.

The sixth son said, wait a minute, you said that if you don't go back, your father will starve to death, what's the matter?

The child said, "My father has been paralyzed for many years and can't do anything."

Liuzi looked at the child in surprise and said, "Let's go, I'll go home with you and have a look."

The child said, forget it, my family is too poor, what are you going to do with me.

Liuzi said, I'll see how I can help you.

The child sighed and said, you are not the government, you can still help me.

Liuzi said, you little rabbit cub still don't believe me, you haven't heard of the Eighteenth Group specializing in doing good things.

The child's eyes lit up and asked, "You opened the Eighteen Charity Middle School, can I go there to school?"

Liuzi said, aren't you inseparable from your father?

The child's eyes suddenly dimmed again, and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Liuzi kicked him in the ass and said, "I'm kidding you." Let's go, go to your house.

The child turned from sadness to joy again, and said with a smile, I think you are a good person, and you can't ignore me.

Liuzi chatted with the child while driving, and asked, "The two of us are so familiar, I don't know what your name is."

The child said, my name is Maomao, what is your name?

Liuzi said, I am the sixth in the family, and everyone in the family calls me Liuzi.

While talking, the two of them had already left the city and came to a village that looked fairly neat.

The sixth son said, "You're not bad here."

Mao Mao said, what you see is someone else's house, and you will know what poverty is when you arrive at our house in a while.

When he was about to leave the village, Mao Mao said to stop.

Liuzi stepped on the brakes a little hard, and the bodies of the two people leaned forward unconsciously, almost hitting the console.

After getting out of the car, and then the light of the first quarter moon, Liuzi saw a courtyard that seemed to be after the war.

The gate was made of the same kind of wood that had no paint, revealing the original color of the wood, and many places were soaked in rain and rotted.

It seems that the courtyard wall has collapsed more than once, and it is piled up there haphazardly.

The house is still the kind of old house in the 60s, the doors and windows are all wood, and the windows are covered with small lattices one by one.

The yard is but very clean and looks like someone is cleaning it every day.

There are a lot of bottles piled up in the northeast corner of the yard, and it is estimated that these things are picked up by Maomao.

When he entered the yard, the white dog, which had been thin and small, came over, barked twice, and began to wag his tail when he saw Maomao.

The lights in the room are on, and they are still the kind of incandescent lamps that no one uses, and the lights are a little dim, presumably to save electricity.

Maomao, are you back, a weak voice.

Mao Mao said, yes, Dad, I'm back, and I've brought guests back.

Liuzi followed Mao Mao into the room, and the door creaked.

Rokuko kept his head down as best he could, so as not to touch his head in some of the low houses.

Although the light in the room was dim, it could be seen very clearly, what is called the four walls of the house, and Liuzi finally understood this word deeply again, because the scene in front of him reminded him of his old days again.

Although there is no furniture, the room is fairly clean.

On the kang sat a thin man, his face was a little pale, presumably caused by long-term malnutrition.

The man looked at Liuzi and said, "You are......

Mao Mao said, this is a friend of mine.

Liuzi smiled and nodded, and said, Yes, I came to see you on purpose.

The man smiled and said, Maomao, pour water for the guest.

Mao Mao took a notched teacup and poured a cup of white water for Liuzi.

Mao Mao said that there is only white water at home, I hope you don't dislike it.

Liuzi picked up the teacup and drank it all, as if he had been pricked by something.

Liuzi handed Maomao's father a cigarette, and the two chatted while smoking.

Liuzi said, how did you get your legs?

Maomao's father sighed and said, this was all many years ago.

It turned out that Maomao's father was hit by a car on the way to work, but the car did not have a license plate, so the driver was not found.

The injury was very serious, and although he spent all the money in the family, he was not able to see a good illness.

My legs have no instincts and I can't do anything.

Mao Mao was six years old.

For a six-year-old child, if he were to be in someone else's house, he might not know anything, but Maomao took on the responsibility of the family.

Because Maomao's mother left that year, she said that she was going out to work at first, but then there was no news.

Maomao's father thought about dying and tried, but Maomao cried and said, Dad, you can't die, if you die, I will have no relatives, and I will raise you from now on.

Maomao's father looked at his son's innocent eyes, let him cry bitterly, and when he cried enough, he said, okay, Dad promised you, I must accompany you to grow up.

From that day on, Mao Mao went out to pick up bottles, asked for money, and came back to support his father.

The government also applied for some subsidies, but after all, it was a drop in the bucket, and the big head had to look at Maomao.

In this way, Mao Mao has grown from six years old to twelve years old, and he is also very envious of other children when he sees other children going to school, but he never tells his father that when he has time, he always secretly goes to school to listen to those children read.

After listening to Mao Mao's father's past experience, the sixth son had already shed tears.

Maomao's father said to Maomao, you go out and give the little white dog some food.

After Mao Mao went out, Mao Mao's father said to the sixth son, you are a good person, if you can rescue my child, I will repay you as a cow and a horse in my next life. This kid has been working so hard with me.

Liuzi said, I have already talked to him and let him be my godson, but he doesn't agree because he can't let you go.

Maomao's father said, don't listen to the child, I live for him now, if he can reassure me, even if I die, I will have nothing to worry about.

The sixth son said, you see if this will work, you also follow me, so that the child will not have any worries at all. In this way, he can also study with peace of mind.

Maomao's father shook his head and said, no, it's already very embarrassing to entrust my son to you, I'm already so-called it.
