Chapter 207: Picking up a baby
"Why are you here?" Lin Huiru stretched out his hand and shook the child's shoulder, and asked softly, for fear of scaring this kind of insecure child.
I don't know if it's because I'm used to wandering outside, the child didn't sleep very well, and woke up after Lin Huiru for a while, but she rubbed her eyes and was still a little confused.
"Don't you have nowhere to go?" Lin Huiru met her eyes, a little helpless.
At this time, Lin Huiru found that although the child's appearance was dirty, his big watery eyes like grapes were indeed very aura, and after careful inspection, this should be a little girl.
The little girl nodded, then stood up on the ground, "Sister, don't you want this mat?" Can I take it?"
Lin Huiru glanced at the idea that there was still a lot of hair on it, after all, spring had passed, and in order to spend the summer, her dogs had begun to shed hair.
"Why do you want this mat, it's dirty." Lin Huiru asked.
"With a mat, it won't be too hard when you sleep on a street corner." The little girl looked at the mat with an indescribable longing in her eyes.
Looking at this look, Lin Huiru's heart was suddenly very sour. Coincidentally, Lin Huiru heard a strange sound, gurgling as if it was the sound coming from the little girl's stomach, and then take a closer look at the little girl's cheeks because of their thinness, they have sunken together.
"Hungry, huh? Do you want to come with me for a bite to eat? "There are so many poor children in the world, if Lin Hui can do it, it is estimated that the only way to do it is to bring her home and give her something to eat.
When he heard that there was still something to eat, the child's stomach screamed even more, and his face was still a little embarrassed, "Is it okay?" Sister... I'll only eat half a bun. β
"Come with me first." Lin Huiru looked at her cautious appearance, and was even more distressed, took the little girl's hand and pulled her to the yard, and after entering the yard, Qi Lotus also got up.
Qi Lotus looked at the dirty little girl Lin Huiru was holding with some surprise, "Xiaoru, this is..."
"She may have slept at the door hungry and tired, and I thought I could bring her back and let her have a full meal." Lin Huiru opened her mouth to explain for the little girl, of course she would not worry that Qi Lotus would be unwilling because of this, after all, she is also very soft-hearted, and sometimes when you go out together and meet a beggar, you will inevitably give some silver.
In Qi Hehua's words, the family was poor before, and if they could help, they would only share the remaining steamed buns, but now the situation is slightly better, and if they can give a little, they can be regarded as accumulating virtue for Lin Huiru.
Qi Lotus was actually distressed when she saw this little girl's dirty appearance, this child looked like he was six or seven years old, even if it was a poor family they farmed, although they couldn't live a good life, they wouldn't be short of a mouthful of food.
"It just so happens that I steamed meat buns before going to bed last night, which will heat up and cook some porridge just for breakfast." Qi Lotus hurriedly came over and squatted down, looking at the little girl carefully.
"How old are you? What's your name?" Qi Lotus asked.
The little girl was so well-behaved that it was distressing, she seemed to know that Qi Lotus had no malicious intentions, and blushed a little shyly, "I'm seven years old... In the past, everyone in my family called me Zhaodi. β
The name Zhao Di, Lin Huiru was very disgusted when he heard it, and almost all the people who got this name were masters who wanted their sons to go crazy.
"Then how can you be alone outside, still wearing such thin clothes, cold or cold?" Qi Lotus's heart hurts even more.
When asked about the girl here, she didn't speak, Lin Huiru made up a scene of selling her daughter in order to raise her son, afraid of setting off the girl's bad memories, so she hurriedly interrupted Qi Hehua's words, "Mother, I'm hungry too, let's heat up the meal first." β
Lin Huiru squeezed his eyebrows at Qi Lotus, but Qi Lotus also understood, nodded and went to the kitchen.
"Come, don't be afraid, we have no malicious intentions, I'll help you wash your face and hands before eating." Lin Huiru fetched water, held the little girl in his arms, and washed her dirty little hands and face three times before revealing her true face.
With a small face and a small mouth, and a pair of big watery eyes, if there is no wandering, she should be a white little girl.
After eating, Lin Huiru always felt that this child was going to be sick if she was wearing such a thin clothes, so she went out to buy a set of small clothes, and when she came back, she saw Qi Lotus standing at the door and sighing, a little cramped and uneasy.
"Mother, why are you standing outside?" Lin Huiru stepped forward and grabbed Qi Lotus's arm and asked puzzled.
Qi Hehua looked at Lin Huiru and sighed again, "Xiaoru, my mother is really worried about this girl, she is still so young, it's better to be summer soon, how can you live this winter." β
"It's so naΓ―ve, if someone has bad intentions, this little girl's life will be over." As she spoke, Qi Lotus burst into tears directly, "I don't know where this child's family is, when your father and I accidentally forgot you in the field, we almost didn't scare me and your father to death." β
Seeing that Qi Lotus was worried about these problems, Lin Huiru also followed a little uncomfortable, the poor people she met before could still take care of each other, this seven-year-old child was outside by himself, and he was still a girl, how could he talk about living?
"Mother, since you are so worried, why don't you leave her at home for a few days, and I'll go find someone to draw a few notices to see if anyone has lost it." Lin Huiru comforted Qi Lotus, and only felt that this matter was mysterious.
gave such a name, and as for why she was separated from her family, the little girl was reluctant to say that eighty percent of them were either abandoned or sold.
But it's hard to keep a misunderstanding, for the sake of this girl's future, posting a few notices is nothing.
"Hey, that's exactly what I think, my mother's Xiaoru is still so kind when she grows up, I'm afraid you don't want to." Qi Lotus was a little embarrassed.
Lin Huiru smiled helplessly, "How can I be that kind of person, by the way, this is the clothes I bought, I have to go to the shop for a trip, so please take a shower and change clothes for that girl." β
"Yes, it's my mother who wants to go wrong, so will you go early and come back early and come back for dinner at noon?" Qi Lotus took over the burden, and a hanging heart could be regarded as falling to the ground.
"I won't be back at noon, I have to go to the city, try to come back before dinner, if I can't come back, I'll stay in the city." After saying that, Lin Huiru didn't stay long, the sun was getting higher, and she was almost late from the appointment with Zhou Man'er!
By the time she trotted to the shop, Zhou Man'er had already finished drinking a cup of milk tea.
"Sister Xiaoru, you're late." Zhou Man'er pouted.
