Chapter 119: The Old Man's Request
Gu Xiaoqi looked at the two little boys who were only up to his waist, and thought: What a strange child, he likes others to treat them with a cold face, and others are not happy to laugh.
"What about your parents?"
Seeing that they didn't answer her question, she asked again.
"Mom and Dad went out to work, and there was only Grandma at home."
"Then what are you running out for, isn't your grandma worried?"
"There is no food at home, we came out to find food for grandma, grandma must be hungry, we have to find food to go back quickly."
Look, look, the difference between the two mothers and sons and these two brothers just now is really sensible children.
But even then, she doesn't give them food for free, and people often don't cherish what is easy to obtain.
"Did you find it?"
The elder brother shook his head, while the younger brother was still looking at her curiously.
"Then don't go back quickly, when someone trafficker takes you two away, you will be dragged to the mountains and sold, and it will be miserable."
"Uh-huh."
The elder brother took his younger brother's hand and wanted to go back, but the younger brother touched his little belly and said to the elder brother, "Brother, I'm so hungry." ”
"Brother will think of a way to go back, you can bear with it first."
"Hmm."
Even though their voices were small, she could hear them clearly.
She didn't stop them and kept walking.
The two brothers who came home looked at their grandmother lying on the bed, shook her body, and said crisply as they lay on the side of the bed.
"Grandma, we're back."
"I'm back."
The old man who was originally on the bed sat up strongly, and the two brothers saw that they were very sensible and helped her to sit up, which made people feel distressed.
The old man pulled the two brothers into his arms and put a quilt over them.
"It's cold, cover, warm and warm."
The two brothers showed happiness and hugged the grandmother with a smile, and suddenly the elder brother felt the small satchel on his back knock himself, and opened it suspiciously, and there was some bread and milk in it.
The old man also saw it, and said with a surprised face, "Who gave it to you, did you say thank you to someone?" Go and go, go and call her up, and we'll give the money back, or we'll give her the stuff back. ”
"It should have been put by that sister, don't worry grandma, I'll go."
The elder brother jumped out of bed, patted his chest, and swore an oath.
"Grandma, you and your brother can stay at home, I'll be back soon."
"Grandma believes in you."
The old man touched his brother's hair, and the younger brother nodded obediently beside him.
The elder brother immediately ran out, and before leaving, he carefully checked whether the door was closed, and the person who trotted all the way saw Gu Xiaoqi in front of him and shouted loudly.
"Sister, sister, wait for me."
When she heard the voice, she stopped and looked at her brother who ran in front of her and gasped.
"Huhu, sister, we can't accept this."
The brother handed her the small satchel, but she didn't take it out of her coat pocket.
"Why, didn't you just come out looking for food?"
"But we didn't pay, grandma told us that we must be honest and backbone, and don't be greedy for others."
The elder brother shook his head and said to Gu Xiaoqi seriously.
"Then you can pay me."
The brother who heard her words seemed to suddenly realize, and took out a pile of five cents and a dollar from his pocket.
"It's all my money, I've been saving it for a long time."
"That's enough."
She took the change from his hand, leveled them one by one, and then counted them carefully, and replied with a word of relief that made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"The money and goods are clear, and you can eat. Do you want me to send you home, lest you be robbed on the way? ”
"Uh-huh."
He thought seriously for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
On the way, she kept asking him about the situation at home, and he answered them one by one, as if he was not vigilant.
That's right, where did a child of his age get so many fancy intestines, and when others give him a little food, he thinks that others are good people.
"What's your name and your brother's?"
"My name is Xiaoying, and my brother's name is Xiaonuo. What's your name, sister?"
"Well, you can call me Little Seventh Sister."
"Little Seventh Sister, thank you really much."
Xiaoying looked at her with admiration and trust in her eyes, making her turn her head away.
"Here, Little Seventh Sister, this is my home."
He tiptoed the key into the keyhole and unscrewed the door.
"Grandma, I'm back."
"Ahem, he's back."
The old man coughed, looking at him with a kind smile on his face, as well as Gu Xiaoqi behind him.
"Grandma, let me tell you, this is Little Seventh Sister, a good person."
The person who was issued a good person card had a cold look on his face, unmoved by his words.
"Thank you so much, little girl. Xiaoying, you take Xiaonuo out for a while, I have something to say to my sister. ”
"Okay, Grandma."
Xiaoying took Xiaonuo's hand and walked out of the room, and took the door by the way, and there was a faint sound of the bag being torn open outside the door, as well as the sound of chewing.
"Little Seventh Girl, can you sit here and talk to the old woman and me for a while?"
She pointed to the sofa chair next to her, and seeing that she had no ill will towards her, Gu Xiaoqi sat on the sofa and sat upright.
"Yes."
"I don't have many days to live, but I don't worry about Xiaoying and their two brothers, if I go like this, the life of the two of them will definitely be difficult."
"Actually, I've been lying to them that their parents have been working outside the home, when in fact their parents died in an accident a long time ago."
"I've been pulling them up, but I may not be able to take care of them in the future. I can see that you are a capable person, old woman. Me, can I ask you a favor? ”
"I only do what I want to do and what I can."
Gu Xiaoqi didn't seem to understand the old man's hints, and looked at her with sharp eyes.
When the old man heard her words, he knew that she must have understood what she meant, and lowered his head in shame, and she also knew that her request was a little embarrassing.
They had no obligation to help her, nor did they have the obligation to take care of their two brothers.
"I'm sorry to cause you trouble."
At that moment, Arnold pushed open the door, glanced at her timidly, ran to the old man, and put the bread to her lips.
". Milk.... Eat..... Delicious. ”
"Okay, grandma."
The old man took his little hand and took a bite of the bread in his hand, as if tears were rolling in his eyes.
Xiaoying also ran in and reasoned with her brother like a little adult, "Grandma and sister are talking about things, it's very rude for you to interrupt other people's conversations like this." ”
Arnold lowered his head and listened silently to his reprimand.
"Forget it, don't do that next time."
He touched his brother's head, but finally swallowed the heavy words that followed.
"Xiaoying is really a sensible big child, and Xiaonuo is also an obedient and good child."
The old man praised them and worried about their future.
