19. Lameness
Di Yeyue stood in front of her angry father, and behind her stood her daughter full of fear, as if she was a wall separating father and daughter.
The man looked at his daughter behind Di Yeyue and beckoned to her, he opened his somewhat chapped lips, tried to reduce his anger, and said, "Daughter, come here, come to Dad." ”
Di Yeyue's persistent heart slowly loosened, she slowly got out of the way, the little girl opened her big round eyes, looked at her father, she timidly glanced at Di Yeyue again, in Di Yeyue she got warm eyes and encouragement.
She left behind Di Yeyue and walked towards her father step by step, she felt at this time, as if the identities of her father and big sister in front of her had been reversed, she preferred to return to the side of her big sister rather than her father's side, she knew that she would follow her father back, and it would inevitably be another punishment, she was very happy today, happy to meet a good person like the big sister, but the appearance of her father tore all the good things apart.
When the man saw his daughter coming over, he grabbed his daughter's hand and said impatiently, "Why are you rubbing so much, it's going to be dark in a while!" ”
When he saw that there were still a lot of flowers left in his daughter's hand, he said with an unkind face, "Why are there so many flowers left today?" Are you going to play anywhere today? ”
Di Yeyue was not at ease in handing the girl back to her father, and she deeply felt in her heart that this father had violent tendencies. She looked at the little girl, like a weak flower, the wind will flutter when it blows gently, she thinks about herself, she has been in trouble, and she still doesn't know where the clue is, how can she encounter such a thing again, but with her person, this kind of thing can definitely not be ignored, thinking of this, she stepped forward and came to the man.
said softly, "She is so young, you let her carry such a heavy burden, how can you bear it?" Even hard-hearted parents shouldn't do such a thing. ”
The man saw that his daughter had returned to his side, a sneer rose to his face, he glanced at Di Yeyue, and then said, "We poor people have a poor way of living, we don't need you rich people to give us alms, and you don't need you to pity us!" ”
After the man finished speaking, he turned his head to look at his daughter, and suddenly he saw the fifty yuan hidden in his daughter's hand, he looked at his daughter coldly, and said with a serious expression, "Who is this fifty yuan?" Did she give it to you? After speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at Di Yeyue in front of him.
The little girl said timidly, "Yes...... It's the big sister who gives ...... It's mine. ”
The man snatched the money from the little girl's hand, then handed it to Di Yeyue, and said, "I will give you back the money we gave us." ”
Di Yeyue didn't take the money from the man's hand, she smiled, and then said, "This money is just what I just want to give to this little sister, and it doesn't mean anything else, people really can't be poor and short-minded, I admire you, but this money can temporarily fill your stomach, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about her." ”
The man's hand holding the money froze, he glanced at Di Yeyue, there was no expression on his dark face, he clenched the fifty yuan in his hand with his dirty hand, looked back at his daughter, and finally gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I will accept your fifty yuan for my daughter." ”
After speaking, he turned to look at his daughter, and his voice was softer, and said, "Let's go home!" ”
The little girl saw that her father spoke much gentler, so she quickly raised her little face and said flatteredly, "Okay...... Okay, Dad...... Father! There was also a smile on his little face.
Di Yeyue saw the little girl's sincere smile, she was also happy for the little girl, she squatted down and touched the little girl's little face, and said to her with a smile, "Little sister, go back with your father obediently!" My sister will find a chance to see you in the future! ”
The little girl looked at Di Yeyue in front of her, her eyes were red, and then she stammered, "Big ...... Sister...... Sister, then you will definitely ...... You want to come and see me...... Yes! ”
The little girl looked at Di Yeyue and said, her eyes were full of reluctance, the man looked at his daughter's thin body, and then looked at Di Yeyue, who had been standing in front of him and looked at him coldly, holding fifty yuan tightly in his hand, he gritted his teeth and wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it.
Di Yeyue touched the little girl's face, and the little girl opened her round eyes, "Don't worry, my sister promises you." ”
The man took his daughter's little hand, and the two turned around and slowly left, one tall and one short slowly disappearing from Di Yeyue's field of vision.
Di Yeyue sat on the flower bed, thinking about the father and daughter just now, she was still a little relieved, she wanted to know what the living environment of the two was like, when she was in college, she participated in the university's love activities, she saw those lonely old people who were helpless, and the poor women were babies waiting to be fed in their arms, they lived in simple houses made of bricks or thatch, there was no financial resources, and they couldn't even eat a full meal. Whenever she sees such a scene, Di Yeyue always feels a lot of pain in her heart, although she is just an ordinary family, but she will try her best to donate a little more money and contribute a little more of her own strength.
So she stood up and walked briskly in the direction where the father and daughter were far away, she saw the father and daughter from a distance, the two walked a little slowly, carefully observed Di Yeyue and found that the little girl's father, the legs and feet were not very dexterous, it seemed to be a little lame, just now Di Yeyue was a little aware that the little girl's father seemed to have legs and feet that were not too convenient, and now this is the case, the little girl's father should be born lame, with two legs one high and one low, resulting in a limp in the aisle, although he can still walk, but he walks very slowly.
It's really not easy to think about this father and daughter, Di Yeyue thought of this, and she thought of the little girl's father, the man who looked stern and had a hot temper.
Di Yeyue in order not to let the two of them find out, she followed far behind, the two father and daughter walked into an alley, Di Yeyue also followed behind, this alley is quiet, the alley is secluded and far-reaching, Di Yeyue looked at the surrounding houses, they are all very poor families, and there are many disabled people sitting on both sides of the alley, their eyes are empty and lifeless, like the walking dead.
Di Yeyue frowned and looked at everything in the alley, she continued to follow forward, and suddenly there was a sound in front of her, as if it was accompanied by the cry of a familiar little girl.
Di Yeyue's heart tightened, and she hurried to catch up.
