The spring in the capital is windy and arrogant.

The wind blew in the middle of the night with a sharp whistle. Plastic bags in the open-air garbage dump in the urban village are scraped all over the sky.

Xu Qiao asked Xiao Ding to move the stove to the back kitchen and borrow the stove of the noodle restaurant to steam the steamed buns.

The door creaked and crackled with small stones striking the glass.

Xiao Cui was worried while making steamed buns: "The weather is so bad today, I'm afraid there will be a lot fewer people eating breakfast." What should we do if we can't sell out of these buns? ”

Xu Qiao was not worried at all: "If you can't sell out, you will send it to the fire brigade and give them a snack to eat." ”

Xiao Cui: "......"

I said before that I didn't like Squadron Gu, but now I can't wait to give Squadron Gu everything.

Not only is it good for the Gu squadron, but even the entire fire brigade has to be taken care of.

Xiao Cui wrapped the bun for a while and went out to prepare to plug in the advertising lights at the door of the store. As a result, as soon as I opened the curtain in the back kitchen, I saw a small head outside the window, looking straight into the room, with a small face printed in the light and a dull gaze.

"Mom!" Xiao Cui screamed in surprise, and almost sat on the ground in fright.

Xu Qiao and Xiao Ding heard Xiao Cui's exclamation and came out of the back kitchen at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Ding went over and grabbed Xiao Cui's arm.

Xiao Cui pointed out the window: "Ghosts, there are ghosts!" A little girl. ”

Because of the fear of speaking incoherently, my fingers trembled a little.

Xu Qiao was surprised that there were children outside at such a late hour? I didn't think much about opening the door of the store when I saw a small figure running into the darkness.

Without thinking much about it, Xu Qiao chased after him, and Xiao Ding followed.

The little girl was not big, but she ran fast, and it took Xu Qiao a little effort to catch up with the little girl. He grabbed the little girl's arm, her face could not be seen clearly in the dark, and her big eyes flashed with fear.

Xiao Ding also followed: "Whose child is this?" Why are you still outside so late? Then he asked the little girl in a slow voice, "What's your name?" Where is your home? ”

The little girl looked at Xu Qiao directly and didn't say a word.

Xu Qiao was shocked in her heart, and pulled the little girl to the bright street lamp. Seeing the appearance of the little girl clearly through the light, I was even more surprised.

She has a fair-skinned and slightly baby-fat face, slender eyebrows and eyes, her eyes are a little dull, and her small mouth is slightly trembling. This is exactly what she looked like when she was a child.

"Pretty guys?" Xu Qiao shouted tentatively, but the little girl still looked at her in a daze and didn't react.

Xu Qiao's nose was sour, and sure enough, she and Xiao Pitian exchanged souls, and Xiao Pitian traveled back to when she was a child. Reached out and touched her head, the wind was a little strong, the little girl was estimated to have been outside for too long, her face was frozen cold, and the tips of her hair were sweaty because of running, and they were a little wet and cold.

"Let's go back first." Xu Qiao felt a little uncomfortable when she met herself when she was a child at this time, and took the little girl's hand and walked to the store.

Xiao Ding saw that the corners of Xu Qiao's eyes were red, and he didn't speak again, and followed the two back to the store.

Xu Qiao knew that the little girl's IQ was only three years old, and she couldn't speak. After entering the house, let her sit at the table, and called Xiao Cui to bring a towel for warm water.

I wiped the little girl's face with a warm towel and washed her hands carefully. I don't know how long the little hands haven't been washed, some black and a little dark. There are also many small cuts on the hands.

Xu Qiao noticed that the little girl was still carrying a shabby rag doll behind her.

This rag doll, she remembers, was the last birthday present she received when she was five years old, and the family has been scattered since then......

Could it be that the little girl crossed over at that moment?

Xu Qiao wiped her hands clean, reached out and combed the messy hair on her forehead: "Sister doesn't know what your name is, so I'll call you smile, okay?" ”

I hope you are 100 years old and always have a smile.

Xiaoxiao, who has a name, thinks that Xu Qiao is so gentle, she won't call her a little fool, and she won't look at her with disgust, so she couldn't help grinning, saying that she likes the name Xiaoxiao.

Xu Qiao shouted to Xiao Cui to bring the freshly steamed buns over and hold Xiaoxiao's hand: "Are you hungry?" So come to the store? ”

Xiaoxiao stared at the bun in Xiao Cui's hand, and smiled stupidly with his small mouth open, with anticipation.

Xu Qiao was a little sad, I don't know how Xiaoxiao came here? And the child I saw on the bus that day was dressed like Xiaoxiao, didn't I be dazzled? Is Xiaoxiao really wandering?

Xiao Cui put down the bun, looked at it curiously and smiled, and was dragged by Xiao Ding to the back kitchen. He felt that Xu Qiao was a little weird, so it was better not to disturb them.

Xiaoxiao saw the bun on the table, didn't think much about it, reached out and grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, a little hot but still stubbornly swallowed it in his stomach, and tears burned out.

Xu Qiao patted her on the back: "Eat slowly, these are not enough, we still have them." Blow and eat again. ”

Xiaoxiao didn't listen to her, probably because she was hungry, and she stuffed the buns into her mouth hard, and the stuffing fell everywhere.

Xu Qiao simply picked up the bun on the plate and blew it, then handed it to Xiaoxiao, touched her head, and gently coaxed: "Xiaoxiao is good, eat slowly." If you eat fast, you will choke. Sister will keep you fed. As long as you like to eat, I will give it to you every day in the future. ”

Xiaoxiao can understand a little, the bun choked in his throat and stretched his neck, and after swallowing, he couldn't wait to grab a bun.

Xu Qiao looked at the familiar little face, tears swirled in her eyes, and she and Xiao Piti still met. It's just another method, since she used the little pitiful body, then she should take good care of the little pitiful.

Xiaoxiao, who ate five buns in one go, was about to reach out to grab the buns, but was stopped by Xu Qiao. She didn't know how long the child hadn't eaten, and she was afraid that she would survive eating too much. Let Xiao Cui come over with a bowl of millet porridge, and take a small spoon to blow and feed and smile.

Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Qiao a little stupidly, and opened her mouth to drink porridge mechanically, I don't know why the sister in front of her is good to her, but she likes her very much! After chasing for so many days and looking for so many days, I finally found her!

He smiled and drank another bowl of porridge and patted his stomach with satisfaction. Then he yawned and rubbed his eyes to sleep.

Xu Qiao struggled to pick up the instantly sleepy and stunned smile and went to the back kitchen, there was a small cubicle in the back kitchen, there was a small bed in it, which was where Yang Wenjun rested in summer.

put Xiaoxiao on the bed, took off her dirty shoes, the little girl turned over, and fell asleep satisfied. There was a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Coming out of the cubicle, Xiao Cui asked curiously, "Xu Qiao, do you recognize this child?" ”

Xu Qiao thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know, I just feel pitiful." ”

Xiao Cui suddenly thought that he was in the only place in Shishi, and the Xu family's parents came to the store and said that Xu Qiao was also a fool before, but he suddenly got better. instantly understood that Xu Qiao was good to this girl, probably because of what she had experienced before.
