In the ward of Tongji Hospital, Chen Wenqiang handed the rag doll he brought to Lili and looked at it with interest, just to see the bright blue in her eyes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lili was immediately attracted to the cute doll with round eyes and long black eyelashes. In the days of wandering and wandering, she once saw similar doll toys in the window of a store. She really likes it, and she really only dares to sneak a glance or two. As a half-breed, she was so melancholy, so depressed, that she didn't even dare to go close to look at the extraordinary doll.

To her, the store was like a palace, and the doll was not a doll, but an illusion. The poor little girl, who had been deeply immersed in the miserable and cruel and ridiculous and discriminatory life of poverty, now saw that in her fantasies naturally became joy, brilliance, glory, and happiness.

Lily has never had a doll since she was born, and as every child knows, she has never had "a real doll." And dolls are one of the most urgent needs of a girl's childhood, and at the same time one of the most touching instincts. A girl without a doll and a woman without a child are almost equally painful and completely impossible.

"Take it, it's for you." Chen Wenqiang handed it forward with a smile.

"This is for you." Lili heard something she had never heard before, she looked at Chen Wenqiang, then at the doll, and then slowly retreated to the side of the bed. She looked at the wonderful doll with fear. Tears appeared on her face, but her eyes, like the dawn sky, had begun to show a strange light of joy.

"Is it really for me?" Lili looked at Chen Wenqiang, no words could describe the sad, scared, disbelieving, and happy expression.

Chen Wenqiang nodded vigorously, and took the hand of the "doll" to her little hand. Lily quickly retracted her hand, as if the doll's hand had burned her. She blinked, suddenly turned around, and hugged the rag doll in a grazed heart, "I'm going to call her good." ”

"You're a good girl, too." Chen Wen straightened up and patted Lili's head with a smile.

Lily is not ugly, if she is happy, if she is healthy, maybe she will be more beautiful. She was almost eight years old, but the long-term displacement and depression made her look like a child of five or six years old. The two large eyes are deeply hidden in a layer of shadow, and the arc of the corners of the mouth shows the long-term inner anguish.

But now, Lily finally has her own "doll", she puts her obedient girl on a chair, blinks her big eyes, does not move at all, does not speak, only admires and admires.

"You're playing, Lily, aren't you?" Chen Wenqiang said.

"Hmmm! I'm playing. Lily replied.

Chen Wenqiang sighed silently, although the nurse had bathed her in the hospital and changed into the new clothes he had sent, he knew the child's suffering when he saw the bones that stood up under the clothes.

"Is that your dad?" Chen Wenqiang turned to the opposite side of Lili and stretched out his hand to point at the man who was still unconscious.

"Yes and no." Lili glanced at Chen Wenqiang, shook her head slightly, and said, "He picked me up and raised me." I want to call him Dad, but he doesn't allow it, only Uncle Zhu. ”

"And who was he cut by? Do you know? Chen Wenqiang continued to ask.

Lili shook her head and said, "He told me to wait outside the door, and I went in to find someone to do something, and then he rushed out all at once, and he was covered in blood, and he ran away if he hugged me." ”

Chen Wenqiang pondered for a moment and asked, "Then can you still find that gate?" ”

"It should be." Lili nodded, and didn't look at Chen Wenqiang anymore, but picked up her baby and had fun.

"Then you'll take us to find it?" Chen Wenqiang squatted down, stared at Lili's eyes, and said with a smile: "If I find it, I will give you another doll." ”

Lili hesitated, turned her head to look at Uncle Zhu, who was still unconscious, shook her head and said, "No, I want to accompany Uncle Zhu, and I don't want to have any more dolls, it's enough to have a good girl." ”

"How's the new dress, it's pretty." Chen Wenqiang continued to be tempted, "What about the delicious, chicken, duck and fish, you can choose." ”

Lili held the doll, gently held her little hand, and whispered for a long time, "I don't want to run around anymore, and I don't want to be hungry anymore." ”

Chen Wenqiang clearly saw that the corners of Lili's mouth were slightly pursed, revealing a sly smile, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's no problem, no matter how well your Uncle Zhu recovers, I can support you." Having a house to live in won't make you hungry. ”

Lili raised her head and looked at Chen Wenqiang seriously, as if she was distinguishing between the truth and falsehood of this promise. After a long time, he gently nodded his little head.

Outside the window, the large clouds in the sky are trimmed with gold, illuminating the clouds transparently. The sun was setting in the west, rendering a red glow in the western sky.

On the second floor of Longxing Teahouse, one side has been completely vacated, and there are no tea customers, only Chen Wenqiang and Lili are sitting at a table. There were xiaolongbao, tiaotou cake, three fresh wontons, chicken and duck blood soup and other foods on the table, Chen Wenqiang was not happy to eat, and many times he smiled and watched Lili feasting.

Poor children, who may have been abandoned at birth, will never know who their parents are in this life. But there is also luck in misfortune, Zhu Tiezhang picked her up and raised her. What kind of hard work a man has to pay to raise a child, Chen Wenqiang doesn't dare to think. And Zhu Tiezhang really loves Lili, and in order to treat her, he is even willing to sell the sword that is regarded as a treasure.

Of course, the man's carelessness, as well as Zhu Tiezhang's actual situation, made Lili also suffer a lot and suffer enough to sleep in the open. Therefore, when Chen Wenqiang, a man who does not call her a "mongrel", appeared, gave her a cloth baby, and promised to raise her in the future, most of the fear and worry caused by Zhu Tiezhang's serious injury and coma disappeared.

In the long-term life course full of unfavorable factors such as wandering, hardship, discrimination, and white eyes, Lili's own character and adaptability skills have also been exercised. A little cunning, a little paranoia, and a little withdrawn. At the same time, the various treatments in the real society and the discrimination on both sides of the gap make Lili good at observing other people's faces and hiding her heart, so that she will hear less foul language and be called "mongrel" by others.

"You like my eyes?" Lili swallowed the wonton in her mouth and looked up at Chen Wenqiang, with both confused and speculative looks, "But others hate it, foreigners, Chinese, they all scold me-"
