Chapter 33: The One-Armed Little Girl
Accompanied Xiaoguliang to play upstairs for a while, and then Liu Tianyu went downstairs, and Xiaoguliang continued to watch TV upstairs.
Downstairs, Wang Haixin had already come to work.
Liu Tianyu and Wang Haixin exchanged a few words, and then sent the prepared small gifts.
The morning passed like this.
At noon, Zhang Shufang went upstairs to cook, Wang Haixin went to help her, and Liu Tianyu was in the store to deal with trivial matters.
Kick, Kick!
Just when Liu Tianyu calculated the time and felt that the meal was almost ready, and was about to pull down the roller shutter door to eat, Wang Haixin trotted all the way down.
"What are you going to do?" Watching Wang Haixin go downstairs, Liu Tianyu asked casually.
"Sister Shufang asked me to go buy something. Wang Haixin stopped and looked at Liu Tianyu and replied.
"What to buy?" was about to eat, and at this time, Zhang Shufang asked Wang Haixin to go shopping, and Liu Tianyu's curiosity was aroused.
"Go buy drinks and beer. Saying that, Wang Haixin glanced at Liu Tianyu, and then continued: "Today's dish was bought by Sister Shufang yesterday, and she didn't know that you came back today, so I didn't prepare beer for you when I bought vegetables yesterday, and now that you're back, Sister Shufang asked me to buy you wine." β
"Okay, I'll go, you go up and help Sister Shufang. Listening to Wang Haixin say this, Liu Tianyu originally wanted to say that he would not drink without wine, although it was a very refreshing thing to drink a bottle of cold beer at noon in this weather, but if he didn't drink it, he wouldn't be able to die and lose a piece of meat, but in an instant he remembered that Wang Haixin didn't just want to buy wine, she also wanted to buy drinks, Wang Haixin was her own employee, but she was a girl in the end, this hot day made a girl run out to buy things, especially the things she wanted to buy and prepare for herself, Liu Tianyu immediately drove her back to the second floor and walked out by herselfγ
I went straight to the nearest store, but it was a coincidence that the nearest store was closed today.
Looking at the locked store door, Liu Tianyu complained a few words to the store owner, then turned around and walked towards other stores.
Speaking of which, there is only such a store near Liu Tianyu's mobile phone store, and if this store is not open, he needs to walk a long way to get to another store.
It is no wonder that Liu Tianyu will complain about the store owner on a hot day.
But complaining and complaining, Liu Tianyu's drinks and beer still have to be bought, if it's just beer, as I said before, you can't die if you don't drink it, but isn't there still a drink to buy, so even if Liu Tianyu doesn't want to walk more now, he still has to buy it.
I swayed all the way to another store, but fortunately, the store was open for business.
Entered the store and took a dozen cold beers, and then carried two large barrels of drinks, Liu Tianyu, who was about to check out and leave, felt slightly thirsty, and immediately took another bottle of cold mineral water.
After checking out, he walked out of the store with beer and drinks, and while walking towards his mobile phone store, Liu Tianyu opened the mineral water and poured a few sips.
The cold water ran down his throat, and Liu Tianyu felt a lot more refreshed and his spirit was much better.
Just poured water while walking, and within a few steps, a bottle of mineral water was all poured into Liu Tianyu's stomach.
"Brother, do you still want a mineral water bottle?" Just as Liu Tianyu drank all the water and was about to find a place to throw away the bottle, a weak voice sounded behind her.
Liu Tianyu turned around and saw a one-armed girl of thirteen or fourteen, looking at herself with blank eyes, the bottle in her hand.
The girl had a bag full of drink bottles hanging from her chest, a broken basket full of bottles on her back, and a woven bag on her arm, which still contained bottles.
"Here you go. Although the little girl was disabled, Liu Tianyu did not have a brainless flood of love without knowing anything, but just handed over the drink bottle in his hand.
"Thank you. The girl put down the woven bag in her hand and took the drink bottle from Liu Tianyu's hand, and then quickly stuffed the drink bottle into the woven bag that had just been placed on the ground, and then picked up the woven bag and turned her head and walked away, so that Liu Tianyu's three words of unkindness were stuck in her throat.
"No... Angry!" Looking at the back of the little girl, Liu Tianyu finally finished the three words of unwelcome, and then shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk towards the mobile phone store.
Although the little girl looked very pitiful, the other party did not ask for help directly like Liu Tianyu, and Liu Tianyu himself was not the character of the Holy Mother, so he turned around and left the little girl behind.
Back at the store, Zhang Shufang had already finished the meal, Liu Tianyu put down the beer and drinks and went to wash his hands, and then the four of them began to eat.
While chatting, I listened to Zhang Shufang's occasional reprimand, and the lunch was lively.
After a break of more than an hour after lunch, the mobile phone store opened again.
Now there are almost no people who come to the mobile phone store to buy a mobile phone directly, so the mobile phone store is exceptionally idle.
"Xiaoyu, give, this is the cash from the sale of mobile phones in the store during this time, a total of 78,000, but the money for the express delivery has gone from here in the past few days, and now there are 68,408 left. Zhang Shufang cleaned up the kitchen stall and then put a little bit to sleep, and walked down with a thick wad of money.
"Do you have a reservation in the store? Liu Tianyu stretched out his hand to take it, and then asked casually.
"Nope. After listening to Liu Tianyu's question, Zhang Shufang shook her head.
"I took 50,000 yuan, and put the rest in the store, and I have to withdraw it when I save money, and now it's different from before, not many people come to the store to buy mobile phones, and the money paid for express delivery tomorrow morning may not be able to sell it now." Liu Tianyu took out the money and put it aside, and packed the rest of the back.
"Rest assured, even if there is no cash left in the store, there will be no delay in shipping the next day. Although Zhang Shufang said so, she collected the money left by Liu Tianyu.
"Wouldn't it be like asking Sister Shufang for you to advance money, if you don't have it, it's fine, but if you have to make a payment, it's not like that. Liu Tianyu replied with a smile.
"It's not that you don't give me the money in advance, what's there. β
Laughed for a while.
Liu Tianyu saw that it was okay now, so he simply thought about saving the money now, so he said hello to Zhang Shufang, and then left the mobile phone store with his backpack.
After going to the bank to deposit the money, Liu Tianyu returned to the mobile phone store again.
However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the one-armed little girl he met at noon bending down to pick up the scraps of paper that had fallen on the ground.
"Yo, do you have a cleaner in the mobile phone store?" When he entered the door and saw this scene, Liu Tianyu said a word to Zhang Shufang.
Then without waiting for Zhang Shufang to speak, Liu Tianyu turned his head to look at the one-armed little girl and asked with a straight face: "Are you an adult? Looking at your appearance, you are definitely not an adult, why did they find a minor like you to be a cleaner, don't they know that this is a crime!"
"Ah~~~~!" was frightened by Liu Tianyu's black face, the little girl suddenly panicked, lowered her head and wanted to slip away.
However, Liu Tianyu's words made her dare not run: "If you run away, I will directly call the police and say that this mobile phone store illegally employs child labor." β
"Don't!" After listening to Liu Tianyu's words, the little girl looked up at Liu Tianyu pitifully: "It's none of Sister Shufang's business, I'm not from this store, I just came to the store to cool off, and I just picked up confetti." β
"I don't believe it, say, how much do they give you a month?" Liu Tianyu still looked at the little girl with evil taste and continued to scare her.
"I'm telling the truth, it's true. "The little girl was about to cry.
Syllable!!!!
Seeing Liu Tianyu scaring other people's little girls like this, Zhang Shufang finally couldn't see it, and when she came up, she slapped Liu Tianyu gently, and then glanced at Liu Tianyu and said coquettishly: "Why is this big man not in shape, what are you doing to scare other people's little girls." β
After scolding Liu Tianyu, Zhang Shufang turned her head and said to the little girl softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaorui, he is the owner of this store, if he calls the police and says that the store employs child labor, he will be the first one who can't run." β
"Oh. Listening to Zhang Shufang's explanation, the little girl knew that Liu Tianyu was joking, but to be honest, although she knew that the other party was joking just now, her sense of Liu Tianyu was really quite poor, was there such a joke, just now she really believed the other party's words, and really thought that she was causing trouble to the kind sister in front of her.
"Come, let me introduce you, this little girl is here to enjoy the shade in our store, her name is Zhang Xiaorui. After appeasing the little girl, Zhang Shufang walked in front of Liu Tianyu with the little girl in her arms and introduced Liu Tianyu.
After introducing the little girl, Zhang Shufang looked at the little girl and continued: "This big brother is the owner of this mobile phone store, his name is Liu Tianyu, you call him Brother Liu or Brother Tianyu." β
"Brother Liu. Although she had a bad impression of Liu Tianyu, the little girl still greeted Liu Tianyu very politely.
"Yo! meet again. After the little girl greeted him, Liu Tianyu also responded.
"See you again?" Liu Tianyu's words fell, and before the little girl could speak, Zhang Shufang looked at Liu Tianyu suspiciously after listening to Liu Tianyu's words, and then looked at the little girl.
"Well, we met at noon. Seeing Zhang Shufang look over, Liu Tianyu nodded.
However, unlike Liu Tianyu's answer, the little girl shook her head at this time.
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·β Seeing that the little girl shook her head, Liu Tianyu felt that a divine beast ran through his heart, and secretly said You still asked me for a mineral water bottle at noon, okay, it seems that we have no communication, but it is not on the road to pass by, you will forget me?
"????" Zhang Shufang looked at the two of them nodding and shaking their heads, and suddenly there was a question mark on their faces, although they didn't speak, but the expression on their faces was obvious and asked what was going on with you.
"At noon, I gave you a bottle of mineral water. Seeing that the little girl really forgot about herself, Liu Tianyu had to remind.
"Oh, it's you!" Hearing Liu Tianyu say this, the little girl nodded, but Liu Tianyu looked at the expression on her face, and it was estimated that she still didn't think of herself.
Liu Tianyu felt a little depressed that the little girl had forgotten herself, but when she thought about it, she was relieved, she and the other party had no communication at the time, although she had a face-to-face photo and had a conversation, but it was actually no different from passing by on the road, and it was normal for the little girl to forget about herself when she turned around.
"Okay, now that we know each other, Xiaorui doesn't have to be afraid of him, come and sit down and rest. Zhang Shufang obviously knew what the little girl was doing, so she didn't have any doubts about Liu Tianyu saying that she gave the little girl a mineral water bottle, and immediately dragged the little girl to the side to rest.
Although Liu Tianyu had a lot of questions to ask, in front of the little girl, Liu Tianyu didn't ask anything.
After a while, the temperature outside finally dropped, and the little girl left the mobile phone store after saying goodbye to Zhang Shufang, Liu Tianyu and Wang Haixin.
"Sister Shufang, what's the matter with that child?" After the little girl left, Liu Tianyu couldn't wait to look at Zhang Shufang and asked.
Hearing Liu Tianyu's inquiry, Zhang Shufang shook her head: "You said Xiaorui, I don't know what her specific situation is, Wang Haixin and I only met her the day before yesterday." β
At that moment, Zhang Shufang told her how she knew the little girl just now.
Here's the thing.
When Zhang Shufang first saw the one-armed little girl, it was the second day after Liu Tianyu didn't come to the mobile phone store.
But at that time, Zhang Shufang saw that she was also seen through the glass door when the little girl passed by the mobile phone store.
At that time, the little girl passed by the mobile phone store, and Zhang Shufang only glanced at it in a hurry, if it weren't for the little girl being different from ordinary people, she was afraid that she would not remember the little girl.
Since seeing the little girl that day, Zhang Shufang has noticed that in recent days, she has always seen the little girl picking up waste in the neighborhood.
Later, one day at noon, Zhang Shufang went out to buy vegetables and came back, and met the little girl again, who was sitting under the green tree on the side of the road to enjoy the shade.
It was noon, the weather was hot, and seeing the little girl sweating, Zhang Shufang, who was moved by compassion, called the little girl into the store.
In Zhang Shufang's opinion, she may not be able to help the little girl in other ways, but it is no problem to let the little girl cool off in the store.
So, in this way, the little girl met Zhang Shufang and Wang Haixin.
However, they only know each other, and for the little girl, Zhang Shufang and Wang Haixin only know that each other's name is Zhang Xiaorui, and they don't know any other information.
From the first day I walked into the mobile phone store, maybe I felt that Zhang Shufang and Wang Haixin really didn't dislike her as a dirty girl who picked up waste, and then every day after noon, the little girl would go to the mobile phone store to take a break in the cold.
However, when the little girl came to the store to enjoy the shade, she would pick up waste paper or garbage every time she saw it on the ground, which is why Liu Tianyu saw the little girl bending down to pick up confetti when she entered the door before.
