Chapter Ninety-Two: Helping Hands

"Sorry to excuse me! I wanted to inquire about the farm, I just came in and didn't see anyone, and I heard a voice here and came over! Su Xiaoting pulled down her scarf and said.

"Inquiring? What is there to inquire about, we are busy, you go elsewhere! The middle-aged woman with a meaty face saw that it was a slender and beautiful little girl, and immediately issued an eviction order.

Although in this era, medicine has advanced to the point of being able to change the appearance and slow down aging. But for people who can't control their appetites, in addition to the high price, they also need a certain amount of perseverance if they want to lose weight healthily. Coupled with the gradual replacement of labor by machines, obesity is still a constant battle in life.

"Mother ......" This time, it was actually two men who spoke out together to dissuade them.

"I'll leave in a moment, but I want to ask what this kid stole from him? He's still so young, maybe he's just curious~"

"Who said he didn't know, he ran to my kitchen and stole the cake he bought in the city! Hmph, who are you, you're really nosy~" When the woman saw the performance of her man, her heart was even more fired.

“…… Well, I've compensated him for the cake, can you let him go? Su Xiaoting was a little speechless, but she still said patiently.

"Mother, since someone is willing to compensate, don't be angry. I'll go to the city and buy it for you when I go back~" The young man immediately reassured.

"Yes, you promise not to steal again next time, and we will release you for the sake of this girl's face." The middle-aged uncle also squatted down and said to the little boy.

"I, I...... I won't steal anymore~" The boy whispered and looked at Su Xiaoting secretly.

"If you want to accompany you, you have to take the round-trip fare, a total of 500 alliance coins! That's it, I don't count your lost time pay~! The conversation was blocked, and the middle-aged woman was ashamed to speak.

The two men did not persuade again, although this cake is only more than 200 alliance coins, but they know their women's temperament very well, if they stop it again, they are afraid that they will not be good.

"Okay, then let's give the cake to the children!" Su Xiaoting saw the cream cake that had been put aside and had fallen off a corner and said, "I'll transfer the money to you!" ”

After that, Su Xiaoting set up the transfer, walked to the woman's side, and touched the other party's bracelet.

The woman lifted her bracelet to examine it, and her mind was a little balanced.

"Humph! It's cheap, you little ghost, you guys hurry up~"

Su Xiaoting wrapped the cake box, then went over to pick up the little boy, and said softly: "Children, let's go!" ”

The little boy was shocked by Su Xiaoting, who was smiling, and followed out of the farm in a daze. Behind him, you can also hear the roar of the women's Hedong lion:

"Fu Laosan, you haven't seen a woman in your eight lives, if you want to go, no one will stop you!"

Fu Laosan stopped his steps and said in his heart, nonsense! Lao Tzu has never seen a few such gentle women, if it weren't for the fact that young women don't want to stay on the farm, can I find someone as fierce as you, and an older person who can be my mother?

At this time, Su Xiaoting led the obedient little boy to the hovering bike, squatted down and asked, "Little friend, are there any injuries there?" ”

The little boy shook his head, and then said with tears in his eyes, "Sister, sister...... I, I'm not a thief, I am, I just want to, celebrate my grandfather's birthday......"

Gone are the happiest days of the year since Dad got sick!

Seeing the little boy's tears spilled down as if they had been spilled by a broken kettle, Su Xiaoting quickly took out a tissue and wiped it for him, comforting:

"Sister believes in you, you are a good boy, you must think that you will pay back the cake money in the future, right?"

"You, how do you know? I know...... You're a fairy sister, right? The little boy was stunned, forgot to shed tears, and said firmly.

Su Xiaoting was a little sad, it was the first time she had seen such a child in the future for so long. She rubbed the boy's head, "Let's go, sister will take you home!" ”

Anyway, there is no urgency, plus this child's little short legs, and if she bumps it again, she is really not at ease.

The little boy did not refuse, and the two sat in the hovercar together, and soon followed the boy's instructions, through the farmland with rows of fruit and vegetable greenhouses, until they reached the foot of the barren mountain, in the wilderness without roads, and a very small village appeared in front of them.

Looking ahead, it seems that in the 90s, the village composed of simple houses on the construction site is in a trance, and Su Xiaoting has a sense of time and space confusion. She slowly drove along the undulating dirt road in the village, looking at the buildings around her, her heart full of doubts.

This small village is supposed to be a hollow-shaped structure, along a square road, on both sides of the gray houses, made of some kind of board, or containers, not only low, but almost only a window of about 1 square meter.

The only thing that was a little bright was a small grocery store in the middle area.

They had almost crossed half the village, and at last they came to a halt in front of a hut, into which the little boy rushed and cried out:

"Grandpa, grandpa, fairy sister is here!" Before the words fell, he rushed back and pulled Su Xiaoting into the room.

Su Xiaoting put the cake box on the table and looked at the 7 or 8 square meters of the humble room. To be sure, she had never seen such a shabby house even before the crossing.

The room was also dark, with only one cabinet except for an iron-framed bed, a table, and a few chairs. There was a small door on one side of the room, and I saw that the curtain was lifted, and an old man in his 60s with white hair like snow came out.

"Dongdong? Have a guest come to our house?"

"Well, hello uncle, it's cold outside, I'll send Dongdong back."

"Oops! What a little girl, the family is simple, I have wronged you, sit down! Grandpa Dongdong hurriedly returned to the small kitchen and brought out two cups of hot water.

"Thank you!" Su Xiaoting sat on the cold and hard bench and warmed her hands with a water cup.

"Grandpa, my sister is fine, she also bought me a cake, we can eat the cake later!" Dongdong said excitedly pointing to the cake.

"This? Dongdong, are you in trouble again? The old man frowned.

"Uncle, I like this kid, I heard him say that he bought it for his birthday." Su Xiaoting winked at Dongdong.

“…… Sorry to bother you! Thank you, uncle, what a kind-hearted girl! Grandpa Dongdong didn't break it down, and said gratefully.

"Don't bother, uncle, it's my first time here...... How can so many people live here? Su Xiaoting couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Call me Uncle Ding! Ay! The little girl used to live in the central area, right? There are many villages like ours in the whole country! ”

"How so? Isn't the social welfare good now? As far as Su Xiaoting knows, the welfare benefits of the United States are more in place than those of Canada, Australia and other pension countries.

"That's a good word, but unfortunately, this medical subsidy doesn't cover ......" Uncle Ding paused and said to Dongdong, who was salivating at the cake: "Dongdong, go to the supermarket and buy 2 packs of instant noodles!" The money is recorded on the account first~"

"Oh, eat noodles! I'm going, grandpa, big sister! "Dongdong ran away without a trace.

"Hey! Little girl, you are a blessed person, I don't know what it will be like if someone in the family has a 'genetic disease'! ”

Uncle Ding took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nose and sniffed it, and carefully put it back.

"Uncle Ding, are you saying that Medicaid does not cover the treatment of genetic diseases?" Su Xiaoting guessed.
