At half past three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jing returned to the hotel and reported to Qin Xiaoqian that Boss Yang planned to invest in Qingyang, Qin Xiaoqian was extremely happy, if he could get an investment of 50 million yuan, it would be the biggest result of Qingyang City's investment promotion in the past three years.

Lin Fusheng and He Yufeng were also surprised when they got the news, they never expected that they would have such a big harvest when they came out this time, and the two of them had some more admiration in their eyes when they looked at Zhou Jing.

The government unit is like this, maybe everyone usually thinks differently, but if someone really does a good job, everyone will still be convinced, especially, in the eyes of the two of them, Zhou Jing is still a milky hairy boy, and it is really not easy to bring such a large investment.

Of course, as long as the contract is not signed and the funds are not in place, there will be no count, so Qin Xiaoqian also reminded Zhou Jing to be mentally prepared, according to past experience, as long as the work of a link is not done well, it is easy to give up all the work and rejoice.

Everyone went downstairs to eat, packed up their things, prepared to leave Wuyang, and returned to Qingyang City, Zhou Jing went to the next room to knock on the door before leaving, but no one answered, went to the front desk downstairs to inquire, but got the news, it turned out that Chen Xuefei had checked out and left this morning.

He took out his mobile phone, called up Chen Xuefei's number, hesitated, shook his head slightly, sighed, and put the mobile phone back in his jacket pocket.

Besides, even if he made a phone call, what could he say, although Zhou Jing admired the beautiful girl very much, but in terms of feelings, since he already had Li Jiani, he couldn't get Long Wangshu anymore and was insatiable.

An hour later, the people got on the train with large bags of goods, and played poker as they had come, and after a while they saw an old man with a gray beard, leading a little girl in ragged clothes, came and begged from seat to seat.

"Passengers, okay, give some money, my granddaughter hasn't had a full meal in two days." The old man was scrawny, hunched over, and held a worn-out porcelain bowl with some pennies in it.

The little girl was born delicate, especially a pair of big watery eyes, as if she could speak, extremely lovable, but due to long-term malnutrition, her complexion was somewhat ugly, and her thin body was trembling slightly, and she seemed to feel a little cold.

The reactions of the passengers were very different, some people were sympathetic to the old and the young, so they took out the change and handed it over, while others ignored it, but talked about it, saying that now begging has become an industry, and some beggars get off the train and enter the hotel, saying that they are living more freely than anyone else.

The two walked all the way, and when they stopped at Zhou Jing and the others, he hurriedly took out some change, put it in the bowl, and took a black coat and put it on the little girl, the little girl stretched out a pair of dirty little hands, pinched the corners of her clothes tightly, her eyes were full of gratitude, but she just nodded and did not speak.

Seeing this, Qin Xiaoqian also put down the card, took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, handed it to the old man, the old man took the banknote, hurriedly thanked him, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you, thank you, you really met a good person, girl, you are not only handsome, but also have a bodhisattva heart, and you will definitely live a long life." ”

After the two left, Qin Xiaoqian sighed and whispered: "This child is really pitiful, he is only six or seven years old, and he has to live this kind of hardship, but I don't know when I will be able to get out of the sea of suffering." ”

He Yufeng smiled and said softly: "Xiaoqian, you probably don't know, now in many places, people from the whole village come out to beg, adults and children are drilling into the train, this trip down, as little as a hundred, more than a thousand, some people have made a fortune in less than two years, and they have built a general building." ”

Qin Xiaoqian didn't believe it, waved her hand, and sighed: "After all, such people are a minority, and many people are desperate, so they have to be beggars, it would be good to fill their stomachs, where will they make a fortune." ”

He Yufeng sneered, shook his head and said, "Xiao Qin, you are a bodhisattva, you are too kind-hearted, this is not good, it is easy to be deceived." ”

At this time, a passenger next to him answered, and said in a long voice: "That's right, the old man is running this line, don't look at his current appearance pitiful, as if a gust of wind can blow down, in fact, his body is hard, every time he comes out to beg, the granddaughter he brings is different, do you know why?" ”

Qin Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "Why?" ”

The man snorted and said lightly: "Those children, some are rented, some are picked up, usually he takes the child to beg, and when he meets a suitable person, he sells the child, which is also a lot of income, I heard that there are people who take advantage of the traveler's inattention to steal the child!" ”

"How can you do this, it's really a loss!" He Yufeng couldn't listen to it anymore, and interjected angrily.

The man also sighed, shook his head and said: "In this world now, anything strange will happen, to put it bluntly, it is that people's hearts are broken, and they only recognize money, not reason." ”

The people next to him all echoed and talked about it, as if they were a little unaccustomed to many things now.

A few people played cards for a while, ate a box lunch, they each squinted on the seat and napped, no longer talking, in the early hours of the morning, the car drove to Qingyang Station, everyone wrapped in the crowd, out of the platform, a few words of greeting, and then they took a taxi to leave.

Zhou Jing also beckoned to call a taxi, and was just about to open the door, when he suddenly heard a slight shout from behind him: "Uncle, can you help?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, turned his head, but saw a seven or eight-year-old girl standing on the side of the road under the street lamp not far behind him, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

Zhou Jing hurriedly walked over, squatted down, and said softly, "Little girl, why did you get here?" ”

The little girl's lips moved, she wiped her tears with her hands, and said with some grievances: "Uncle, they have discussed, and in a few days, they will break my leg and crawl and walk, so there will be more people who give money, I am afraid, so I sneaked out while they were not paying attention and followed you out of the car." ”

Zhou Jing's nose was sore, he almost cried, and said softly: "Little girl, do you remember where your home is?" ”

The little girl shook her head, her face was dazed, and after a while, she whispered: "It's been a long time since I came out, and I don't remember anything before." ”

Zhou Jing sighed, and asked patiently, "Do you remember the names of your parents?" ”

The little girl still shook her head, shrunk into a ball, and sobbed: "Uncle, take me away, I can cook and do laundry, as long as I don't break my legs, I can do anything!" ”

Zhou Jing nodded, stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and said softly: "Okay, go back with your uncle, from now on, no one will dare to bully you anymore!" ”

The little girl burst into tears and smiled, nodded and said, "Uncle, let me tell you, I'm not naughty at all, and the amount of food is also very small, as long as I have a small steamed bun every day, I can eat enough." ”

"That's not possible, you're still young, it's time to grow your body, you have to eat more." Zhou Jing smiled slightly, took her little hand, walked to the taxi, sat down, and returned home.

Back upstairs, Zhou Jing took the key to open the door and brought the little girl into the house, at this time the door of the study opened, and her mother Yuan Xiuhua had just finished correcting her homework, heard the movement, and walked out slowly, she saw the little girl, she couldn't help but be stunned, and said curiously: "Xiaojing, whose child is this?" ”

Zhou Jing smiled, walked to her side, whispered, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and then whispered: "Mom, this child is quite pitiful, why don't we adopt it!" ”

When Yuan Xiuhua heard this, her eyes were a little red, so she walked over, bent down and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

The little girl touched her mouth with her hand, and said a little restrainedly: "There is no name, they all call me Xiao Qi." ”

Yuan Xiuhua sighed and said softly, "Let's go, let's go take a bath first." ”

The little girl nodded and followed Yuan Xiuhua into the bathroom, and twenty minutes later, she wore a large T-shirt, pulled the hem of her clothes with her hand, and walked out cautiously.

Yuan Xiuhua entered the bedroom, woke up her husband Zhou Xueming, pulled him out, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, come and see, I took in a goddaughter, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Xueming fell asleep in a daze, and then suddenly woke up, looked at the little girl with wide eyes, and nodded: "Yes, this child is very good, but how did you adopt it?" ”

"It was brought back from the train by Xiaojing." Yuan Xiuhua leaned over, explained the matter again, and said with a smile: "Old Zhou, didn't you always think about having a daughter before, but this time you will get your wish." ”

Zhou Xueming smiled and nodded: "Yes, this kid looks like a member of our family." ”

The little girl was extremely clever, and when she heard him say this, she stepped forward and bowed: "Hello Dad, good Mom, Xiao Qi will be your baby daughter in the future." ”

"Okay, good, look how sensible this kid is, he can really talk!" Yuan Xiuhua was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth a little, hurriedly tied her apron, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi, I've been on the train for a long time, I'm definitely hungry, Mom will go and make you some supper." ”

The little girl smiled sweetly and said a little shyly: "Mom, it's too late, don't be busy, pay attention to rest, don't be tired." ”

Yuan Xiuhua was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all, Xiao Qi, you sit there and rest first, and you'll be fine soon." ”

Zhou Xueming also said: "Xiao Qi is really sensible, don't stand, go and sit." ”

"Thank you, Mom and Dad." The little girl pursed her lips and smiled, walked to the edge of the sofa, and whispered, "Uncle, I will call you brother in the future." ”

Zhou Jing was a little dumbfounded, touched his chin, and said slowly: "This little mouth is really sweet, it looks like you came to our house, I, who is my brother, am about to fall out of favor!" ”

The little girl stuck out her tongue and said playfully: "Brother, I'm sorry, if I do something wrong, you must say it, and I will change it." ”

Zhou Jing smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No, Little Seventh Sister, you did a good job, we all like you very much." ”

The little girl said 'um', sat next to him, held her little face in her hand, looked left and right, blinked her big eyes, and said obediently: "It's okay now, Xiao Qi finally has a home!" ”
