Chapter 22: Yes, that's good

On the street of the morning market, selling all kinds of breakfast, Wei Xiaoche asked him to choose what to eat, Xiao Yi went from the beginning to the end of the place where breakfast was sold, and then stopped at a steamed bun stall, the owner of the steamed bun shop opened the lid, and the fragrance of the steamed buns came out with the white heat.

There were two people sitting on the open-air seats on the side of the street, one big and one small, and just now Wei Xiaoche saw that he had been hesitating, so he bought a pancake fruit, and then went to eat steamed buns next door.

Although Xiao Yi is a child, the amount of food is not small, he ate half of the pancakes, wrapped the remaining half in a plastic bag, put it in his small school bag, and began to eat the buns after putting it away.

The two of them ate three drawers of xiaolongbao, and when they were about to finish eating, there was only one left, and some side dishes, soy milk or something, Xiao Yi looked at the xiaolongbao that was left alone in the drawer, but he never took it.

Wei Xiaoche looked at him who had been in a hurry to eat, but now he suddenly slowed down, sandwiching the shredded potatoes next to him one by one, Wei Xiaoche felt that he was still quite cute, so he said: "Eat!" I'm full, don't be left! ”

After speaking, he saw Xiao Yi put the only remaining bun in his mouth, so Wei Xiaoche finally began to say the topic.

Wei Xiaoche leaned back, put his chair on the back and asked, "I've invited you to dinner, can you appreciate your face and answer me a few questions!" ”

As if he already knew what he wanted to ask, Xiao Yi swallowed the bun he was chewing in his mouth and placed the chopsticks neatly next to the plate. I thought to myself, sure enough, there is no "breakfast" meal in the world.

Xiao Yi was still a child after all, and asked in a low voice: "If I don't answer...... What about these...... Do you want me to pay? ”

Wei Xiaoche smiled and said, "No, this is what I invited you, I want to make friends with you." Wei Xiaoche inexplicably felt that he was very much like Yu Nan at this moment, and it was also Yu Nan's routine to invite him to dinner if he wanted to make friends.

"I don't want to make friends, just ask whatever you want!" As if answering a question is a thank you for the meal.

"Do you want to change your life now?" Wei Xiaoche asked cautiously.

“…… Grandma Bai downstairs said that it would be better when I grew up, and I was about to grow up! Xiao Yi didn't answer his question directly, because he knew that he couldn't change it if he wanted to.

In fact, it was fine in the summer, but in the winter, it would be very difficult to survive, he couldn't pick up food, and there were fewer people to drink water, and he could hardly pick up empty bottles, so he saved up the money from picking up bottles and selling them in the summer, and put them in the cracks in the walls of his home, and used them in winter, all of which were change.

Every time his clothes were washed and cleaned, he would go to the food court on the street for a day, and if someone had leftovers or something, he would eat them before they were cleaned up, and sometimes he would take a little bit away.

Every time he sees what other children want and what their parents buy, he will be very envious, so when he hears whether he wants to change his current life, the first scene that comes to his mind is at that time.

“…… That...... Do you want to go to school? Wei Xiaoche heard his helplessness and continued to ask.

"I don't want to!" Every time Xiao Yi hears about going to school, he reacts very aggressively.

"Then why do you like to read, I read the book you read is already in the third grade of primary school. You're smart, should you think about it! ”

Xiao Yi vaguely remembers that when his parents quarreled for the last time before leaving, what he said seemed to be about going to school, and he always felt that it was his own school that made him what he is now: "I don't want to !! Xiao Yi suddenly stood up and shouted, and the people next to him heard it, and for a while, the silence around was in contrast to the noisy noise in the distance, and even Wei Xiaoche didn't say any more.

Xiao Yi felt that his attitude was not very good, and slowly sat down, and the surrounding voices sounded again, and he suppressed his voice and said, "...... My parents...... Don't want me anymore, I don't have a hukou...... Also...... Can't afford it! ”

"Then I'll help you solve all the problems, would you like to?"

Hearing Wei Xiaoche say this, a trace of longing flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes, and he asked, "How to solve it?" Resolved...... Will I be able to go to school? ”

"We have to go to the police station first to find out about your situation, do you have any relatives besides your parents?"

"I don't know."

"If you have relatives, they will arrange for you to be with them, and if not, it may be ...... Go to the welfare home! ”

"Isn't a welfare home an orphanage?"

“...... Not exactly, there will be some children, there will also be some grandmothers, grandfathers! Do you want to go? ”

“...... Don't want to. "After that, I picked up my bag and left!

"If you think about it, come to the gym to find me!" Wei Xiaoche saw his hesitation, after all, it is not difficult to guess what a nine-year-old child is thinking.

After returning home, Xiao Yi took out the half of the pancake fruit in the schoolbag and gave it to his grandmother, and his grandmother asked him where he came from, and Xiao Yi told his grandmother everything about today.

After a few days, Xiao Yi didn't show up, and a week later, Wei Xiaoche was in class, and someone came to look for him, and when he went out to look, he saw Xiao Yi and a middle-aged man who were different from before.

Xiao Yi changed into clean clothes that day, cut his hair, looked thin and thin, compared to the past, he had the appearance of a teenager, Wei Xiaoche poured them two glasses of water, and let them wait in the water bar in the hall, Wei Xiaoche was in a very good mood when he was in class, he knew that Xiao Yi had changed his mind.

When Wei Xiaoche came out of class, the middle-aged man stood up and said in a skeptical tone: "Teacher Wei, I am the son of Old Lady Bai, I heard Xiao Yi say when I came back a few days ago, can you help him go to school?" You look ...... Quite young! ”

"I asked Xiao Yi a few days ago how to deal with the situation...... It's still relatively easy to solve. ”

The middle-aged man looked very happy, "That's great, then you can help him!" My mother's old house has long been uninhabitable, there are few neighbors, we want to pick up the old man, this my mother has been afraid to leave, Xiao Yi has no place to eat, this time I have taken care of it for three years. It can't be like this all the time! …… We are neighbors, my mother is old and not in good health, and he should have gone to school a long time ago. ”

Wei Xiaoche probably understood, and didn't think that this person was ruthless, after all, as a son, what he said was reasonable.

"What does Xiao Yi think? I want to go ......" Before Wei Xiaoche could finish speaking, Xiao Yi answered.

"I'll ......"

The middle-aged man who sent Xiao Yi seemed to be relieved, and drank all the water in the cup in one go.

"Go now!" In the silence, Xiao Yi opened his mouth first.

On the way to the police station, the middle-aged man found a reason to leave the moment he went out, Xiao Yi didn't speak the whole time, and said when he arrived at the door of the police station: "Can I go directly to the welfare home?" ”

“…… Let's go in first! Maybe you have a loved one! ”

"I haven't shown up for so many years, if there is, what can I ......do" Xiao Yi muttered, and walked into the police station by himself.

In fact, Wei Xiaoche knows that Xiao Yi is a duplicitous child, he just doesn't want to cause trouble to others, just like himself back then, but he is lucky and has met a good family, what will be Xiao Yi's fate?

After entering the police station, after a long time of inquiry and comparison, he found the death information of Xiao Yi's parents, Xiao Yi's parents died on drugs, Xiao Yi was not surprised, nor sad, he had already guessed. After searching, it was found that Xiao Yi had a distant relative, and after an investigation and interview, it was found that the cousin's life was not rich, and she had to take care of two children, so she did not have the conditions for foster care.

After five days, the results were given, Xiao Yi still had to enter the welfare home, and the children in the welfare home were all surnamed Dang, and finally Xiao Yi also had a new name, called Dang Yi.

After Xiao Yi went to the welfare home, Wei Xiaoche often went to the welfare home, and when he went in for the first time, he saw a lot of children playing football in the yard, but he found Xiao Yi on the stone steps in the corner, he was clean, just there quietly looking at the book, he walked over and asked:

"Why don't you play with them?"

Xiao Yi looked up and saw that it was him, this was the first time he came to see him after sending him here, and he was very happy, but his face was still the same: "I don't like it, it's all children!" ”

Indeed, although the children here came earlier than him, they were all younger than him, so he naturally became the biggest.

"Then I'll teach you taekwondo!" After saying that, he put his backpack on the steps.

Dang Yi's spirit came up all of a sudden, closed the book, and just as he was ready to stand up, Wei Xiaoche went to the group of children who played football and asked them if they wanted to learn, and the children were very interested, so a group of children began to warm up, at first Dang Yi was reluctant to be together, and then looked at Dang Yi who was standing among them and correcting other people's movements, Wei Xiaoche knew that he could finally integrate here, and he was no longer alone.

When he left in the evening, Dang Yi went out to see him off, and after this afternoon, he felt that Dang Yi was actually a very hot child, but he was suppressed. This afternoon, he heard more than the two of them had known each other for so long, and he was still a little worried, but at this moment he felt that he had done the right thing.

"I'm leaving, I'm going to school in a while, and I'll come back from vacation to see you. Here is my contact information, you can contact me if you have something! ”

"Aren't you a teacher?" Dang Yi took the note and asked.

"I'm part-time, I'm going to college, you have to go to school in the future, I'll bring you good food when I come back!" Wei Xiaoche touched Dang Yi's head, and Dang Yi reluctantly dodged.

Before leaving, Dang Yi also took out a piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to him, Wei Xiaoche took it, and was about to open it, but he stopped him, "Don't open it here!" Come home and see again! ”

"You little brat! I'm leaving! ”

Dang Yi had been standing at the door, watching, until Wei Xiaoche rode and turned into a place he couldn't see, he turned around and returned to the courtyard.

He had to admit that he liked his current life very much, in fact, he was very grateful to this big brother.

Wei Xiaoche turned into the alley and stopped, took out the slightly crumpled note that looked like it had been in his pocket for a long time, and opened it to see three words written on it - thank you!

Wei Xiaoche smiled slightly, put the note in his bag, rode away, the roadside was full of Gesang flowers, and he said unconsciously: "The weather is so good today...... Yes, that's great! ”
