Chapter 368: Electricity
The first time I saw the little girl was half a month ago, it was a snowy noon, and the city was covered in snow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As usual, Granny Shen was busy in front of the food stall, frying golden fritters for the office workers in the neighborhood.
Her food stall has been here for decades, because of the exquisite materials, fine workmanship, delicious taste, and affordable prices, so it is very famous in this area in the vicinity, and every noon, it is often her busiest time.
When I saw the little girl for the first time, the other party was standing next to a willow tree ten meters away from her food stall, and the goose-featherlike snowflakes were falling one after another, falling on the little girl's head. It's just that she was busy at the time, and because the heavy snow affected her vision, she didn't really see it, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
And when she was done and the last customer left the food stall, she looked up again, only to find that the little girl was still standing there, and the snow was much lighter at this time, maybe because of the cold! The little girl's little face was red from the cold, and she was constantly breathing towards her little hands, gently rubbing her face.
"Whose child is this, how can you stand in the snow on such a cold day?" Granny Shen muttered to herself, and hurriedly beckoned the little girl to warm up by the honeycomb coal stove grown in the canopy.
A very beautiful little girl, who also seemed very sensible, walked in after slapping the snowflakes on her body outside the shed.
"Grandma, do you still have fritters for sale?"
"Yes."
"How much?"
"Sanmao."
In fact, at that time, Granny Shen was about to close the stall, and there were no fritters on the stall, but after coming into contact with the little girl's timid eyes, she couldn't bear to refuse, and quoted a very low price. In fact, this price is not even a third of the normal price, and if it is sold at this price on a regular basis, even if her son and daughter give more money, it will not be enough to lose. But when facing the little girl, she quoted such a price, just because the little girl's ordinary clothes were very old, and at first glance she was the child of a poor family, maybe the child of a migrant worker who came to the city to work on the construction site nearby.
Although she is just an ordinary person in Dragon City, she can help these children a little bit, and she doesn't ask for anything, just peace of mind.
It's just that when she saw this little girl again the next day, Granny Shen knew that she was wrong. The little girl was not a poor child at all, but a street child, and there were three other girls with her, and if it weren't for the different clothes worn by the four of them, and the little girl was still dressed like yesterday, she couldn't even tell which one was which.
With the same appearance and the same single ponytail hairstyle, it is obvious that they are quadruplet sisters. Behind each of them was a torn woven bag filled with all sorts of empty drink bottles.
Just like yesterday, the little girl asked for ten fritters and four cups of soy milk, and after putting down a very neatly folded five-yuan bill, she beckoned the other three little girls standing not far away to leave together.
While making fritters for the little girl, Granny Shen asked many questions.
"Where's your mom and dad?"
"We don't have mom and dad." Maybe I'm used to being asked! There was not a trace of ripple in the little girl's answer, but the gloomy look in her eyes showed that her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
"Where do you live?"
When asked this question, a wary look appeared on the little girl's face, and then she said, "We live over there." ā
"Which side?"
It's a pity that the little girl's answer was vague, and when they left, Granny Shen didn't even know the names of the little girls, let alone inquire about their residence.
And after that, the little girl reappeared here after a gap of one day.
Originally, Granny Shen didn't plan to accept the little girl's money this time, but if she didn't collect the money, the little girl wouldn't want soy milk and fritters, no way, Granny Shen could only take the five yuan handed over by the little girl in the end.
But it can be seen that the little girl is in a good mood today and is willing to answer some questions from Granny Shen. It's just that the little girl still doesn't want to talk about some sensitive information about them, such as how old they are, what they are called, where they live, etc.
Of course, it wasn't all without receipts, at least she was sure that the little girl would come by this time tomorrow.
"Little girl, are you coming back tomorrow?"
"Come on, Grandma, you've got the cheapest food stall I've ever found."
Sure enough, the next day, at this point again, the figure of the little girl appeared at the mouth of the alley of Xiliu Lane, but before she could get close to Granny Shen's food stall, a young woman wearing a uniform from a children's welfare home got out of a car parked on the side of the road and blocked in front of the little girl.
In this era, although the government introduced various welfare policies due to the sparse population, it was rare for parents to abandon their children, but it was not absolute, so there were children's welfare homes in the slightly larger towns in the Asian theater. Moreover, in the welfare homes of the Asian war zone, there will never be any abuse of children, on the contrary, they will be taken care of very well, just because in all the children's welfare homes in the Asian war zone, all the staff are kind and beautiful ship mothers.
And the staff of the children's welfare home was found by Granny Shen, but no matter how the ship's mother of the welfare institute persuaded her, the little girl was unwilling to follow her to the welfare home, and finally bit the ship's wrist, broke free from the ship's mother's arms, and the petite figure quickly disappeared into the traffic on West Chang'an Street.
And after this incident, the little girl did not visit Granny Shen's food stall for almost three or four days.
When she appeared in front of the food stall for the last time, she became even more silent, so to this day, Granny Shen doesn't know what the little girl's name is, so she can only call her "little girl".
And, during this half month, many people in the alley saw that the little girl was pitiful, some gave her money, some gave her food, and some Zhang wanted to adopt her, but all failed without exception. No matter how hungry she is, or how short of money she is, the little girl will not ask for anything from others, so the spray Bai who greeted Granny Shen just now said that the little girl was very digging.
ā¦ā¦
"My sister said that human beings can't be trusted, but the grandma who can be sensed is a good person, but since it was my sister who said it, it must be right, all those who give things or money for nothing have ulterior motives, so you must not take it."
"Sister, I'm back." The little girl scurried up the stairs and pushed open a broken wooden door.
"Ahem, Den, isn't Hibiki with you?"
