Chapter 15 The Little Girl Who Likes White Rabbit Toffee
"Uncle, I still have a White Rabbit toffee, give it to you!"
Suddenly, the little girl who was about six years old broke free from the shackles of her father He Jian'an and happily ran to Du Hai's side.
I saw her hands stretched out in front of Du Hai and gently unfolded them, and there was really a small white rabbit toffee in her palm!
Du Hai was instantly surprised, and his eyes suddenly began to moisten! The bleak conversations I had just heard outside the window had become even paler at this time!
Why did the little girl who loves White Rabbit toffee so much not hesitate to give herself the only candy she had left, the only candy she was reluctant to eat for a long time?
This is a bit of a surprise!
Du Hai's heart began to feel sour, and an inexplicable distress suddenly arose!
The strange thing is that the moment he saw the little girl clearly, Du Hai's heart felt an unprecedented pain inexplicably!
This feeling puzzled him! The panic that he had never experienced made Du Hai full of curiosity about this very cute little girl.
The little girl was dressed in plain clothes, and some dirty marks could be faintly seen on the light-colored floral cloth clothes, and the clothes on her body were also everywhere with traces of many sewing and repairing.
It was summer, and the little girl's hands and legs were mostly exposed. In the dim light of the room, Du Hai still saw some dirt on her face, arms and legs.
At that moment, Du Hai's heart hurt even more! The little girl with uncovered clothes, a thin and thin body, and stains all over her body.
At such a young age, what did she go through to end up in such a bleak situation?
"Jie'er, you go find your mother! Uncle doesn't like toffee! Be obedient, obedient! ”
He Jian'an was instantly embarrassed when he saw this, thinking that most of his daughter's body was stained, and none of them were clean, and he felt very guilty.
Looking at the clothes on Du Hai's body, they are all famous brands, if the child accidentally bumps into him, then He Jian'an's family can't afford to pay for it.
He Jian'an knows this. A poor family like them is impossible for them to have any contact with the sons and daughters of wealthy families.
"No, no, no! Come, boy, come to your uncle. Your toffee uncle has taken it, thank you! ”
"Okay~ Uncle, you are so good!"
The little girl was originally a little trembling, and she didn't dare to get too close to Du Hai. Hearing Du Hai say this, his mood suddenly became excited. A shallow smile instantly appeared on some of the dark faces, which was very sweet and lovely.
Du Hai was quickly stunned by this somewhat familiar smile, and he was instantly speechless, unable to say anything!
The little girl's face, where did he seem to have seen it! Such a sweet smile and shallow dimples have a different feeling! is even the same as Du Hai's first girlfriend Ge Shujuan's appearance!
It's such a strange feeling!
"Uncle, uncle......"
"Young Master Du, Young Master Du......"
He Jian'an saw that the child called Du Hai and did not respond for a long time, thinking that it was because the child was abrupt that caused Du Hai's unhappiness, and he was immediately a little embarrassed. Then, he called out to Du Hai softly, very anxious in his heart.
Fortunately, Du Hai quickly came back to his senses, took a deep breath gently, and tried to calm his messy thoughts, and then looked extremely embarrassed.
"Uh~ I'm sorry! I just suddenly remembered something and got distracted! By the way, big brother, this is your daughter, right? How old is she? ”
"More than six years old! The family is poor, there is no way, and the clothes are not covered, which makes you smile! The little girl didn't scare you just now, did she? I asked her mother to help her wash her face first, she was dirty, and my legs and feet were not very convenient and it was difficult to do these ......."
He Jian'an's eyes suddenly dimmed, his face suddenly had a strong sadness, and his voice began to choke a little.
Du Hai knew that He Jian'an must have had low self-esteem, because his eyes had lowered a lot.
Perhaps, the life of ordinary poor people really can't be compared with the life of a wealthy family like Du Hai!
After all, people from two worlds who are not in the right place stand together, and inexplicably hurt the other person, and the other party never knows!
Of course, Du Hai is not a person who dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and he can also understand He Jian'an's inferiority complex. Du Yunting taught Du Hai since he was a child that he should be kind and charitable, broadcast well-being, and not be disliked for the poor and love the rich.
Therefore, Du Hai does not exclude being friends with poor people, and often helps some people in special need, intentionally or unintentionally.
Just now, it was because the child's appearance was indeed a little similar to his first girlfriend Ge Shujuan, that he suddenly fell into a reverie. Otherwise, it would not have caused such a big misunderstanding, making He Jian'an think that it was the cause of the child's stains that caused the temporary discomfort.
"Six years old~ about the same age as Jie'er......."
"Young Master Du, what's wrong with you? Jie'er? Which Jie'er? ”
Du Hai muttered softly, never thinking that He Jian'an could hear it very clearly. When he heard the name [Jie'er], He Jian'an's heart was also puzzled, very confused, and naturally he couldn't understand what Du Hai was saying!
I saw Du Hai sigh softly, and there was a faint sadness on his face that He Jian'an had never seen.
After a moment of silence, Du Hai took a deep breath and raised his eyes to look at the little girl silently.
"Nothing! I suddenly remembered an old friend whose daughter was about the same age as yours! Come, little friend, tell your uncle, what is your name? ”
"Uncle, my name is He Jie~"
Du Hai glanced at He Jian'an with a smile, and then leaned over and lowered his head to caress He Jie's immature little face, very distressed.
However, in the deep eyes, there was also some tenderness and full of indulgence silently.
This kind of misplaced emotional temporary payment, Du Hai can't remember how many times it is! From the moment he stepped into He's house and saw He Jie, his mind was full of Ge Shujuan's lingering voice and smile, as well as the smile of his young daughter Jie'er!
"He Jie ~ Jie Er ~ more than six years old ~"
Du Hai fell into contemplation again, his mind was blank for an instant, and his thoughts flew to the ignorant and unknown years again.
At this time, Qi Xiaolian was cautiously walking in with a teapot, and was about to call Du Hai to sit down and drink tea, when He Jian'an suddenly raised his hand and made a shushing gesture to signal her not to make a noise.
Qi Xiaolian instantly understood, and gently placed the teapot on the very old low table. Then he carefully helped He Jian'an to sit down, and he stood quietly beside him, silently watching Du Hai who was contemplating.
"Uncle, do you like to eat White Rabbit toffee?"
"I like it! Like! ”
He Jie's sweet voice instantly brought the distracted Du Hai back to reality. Raising his eyes to meet the white rabbit milk candy handed over by He Jie, Du Hai quickly picked it up gently, and his eyes moistened again.
As for why he was so sad and why he was so easy to touch the most fragile nerve in his heart, Du Hai himself was also very puzzled.
I saw Du Hai carefully peel off the icing of the White Rabbit toffee, and then handed it to He Jie's mouth with a smile, looking at her with a gentle face.
"Jie'er, I heard that you like to eat White Rabbit toffee. Do you think that's good? Let's eat together, you eat half of it first, and give the remaining half to your uncle, okay? ....... like this"
"Young Master Du, don't do it!"
Seeing this, Qi Xiaolian couldn't help but interrupt Du Hai's words, hurriedly walked forward, and pulled her daughter He Jie over.
He Jie was also stunned in an instant, and looked up at her mother in confusion, and her innocent eyes were even more distressing.
"Why not?"
"We poor people don't pay so much attention to it. But Young Master Du, you are a wealthy son, and you can't get used to eating these things......."
Du Hai was stunned in an instant, crying and laughing, with a helpless face.
Qi Xiaolian hurriedly explained, for fear that there would be a misunderstanding and cause everyone discomfort. However, such a reason seems a bit far-fetched, Du Hai is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich, so this argument makes no sense.
"Sister-in-law, you're out there! The reason I'm here with you is to help your family. Our Du family has always been kind and charitable, and when we encounter some injustices, we will naturally find ways to help. ”
"Young Master Du, I know your kindness! Your life-saving grace, our He family has nothing to repay. How can you be embarrassed again because of a child's candy? ”
Qi Xiaolian said the words in her heart again. Indeed, she knew that not only was Du Hai's life-saving kindness difficult to repay, but the pile of cash left by Du Hai alone might not be able to be repaid by the He family within three or five years!
How could he just stuff a piece of toffee to Du Hai because He Jie was ignorant for a while, so that Du Hai couldn't bear to eat alone and chose to accept it in this way?
The son of a big family, when did he lack this candy! Du Hai was just forced to accept it helplessly because he didn't want to hurt the child's self-esteem!
In short, that's what Qi Xiaolian thinks in her heart! Such an idea is indeed a bit scary and extremely depressing!
Although she hadn't read a book, she couldn't explain the truth. But the disparity between the poor and the lowly, the difference in identity and status, she is still familiar with these.
"Haha~ Brother He, you're polite! I think it's great to share good things with your children! I don't mean to dislike your family in the slightest! ”
"Young Master Du is really a man of temperament! I, He Jian'an, had the pleasure of seeing it today, it's really rare! It's a pity that I am not in good health, and unfortunately I suffered from the hateful disease of nephritis, which not only suffered myself, but also dragged down my wife and children!"
Du Hai suddenly laughed happily, gently patted He Jian'an's shoulder, and said loudly.
Qi Xiaolian and He Jian'an were stunned for a moment! The two looked at each other, very helpless.
However, it only took half a minute for He Jian's burden to let go, and he suddenly became much more cheerful.
"Jian'an~ Don't say it! We're not bitter at all! As long as you're okay, we're all okay. ”
"I also want to spend my life with you! Take pity on my sickness, burn money and torture people, and the doctor said that my days are short! I'm worried about Jie'er now, she's still so young......"
He Jian'an didn't pay attention to Qi Xiaolian's words, and muttered to himself. Sadness can easily spread to other people, and Qi Xiaolian couldn't help but wipe away her tears when she heard He Jian'an say this.
Seeing her parents like this, He Jie's smart eyes couldn't help but shine with crystal tears. She began to sobb softly, and the low cry of "woo-woo" instantly made Du Hai burst into tears!
"Brother He, don't be sad! Things will always get better. Although there is no cure for this disease in China, there are still many ways to prevent the deterioration of the disease!
Our Du family's Haining Hospital, where there are specialized nephrologists. Come, take my business card and go straight to Dr. Lee, he will help you. ”
Du Hai said as he took out a business card from the pocket of his jacket and suit and stuffed it into He Jian'an's hand, trying to pretend to smile and say.
