Pingyang County, Dongguan Primary School.

Zhao Wenmu picked up all the maltose scattered on the ground, including those that had been stepped on and stained with soil.

Then he lifted the little girl up, gently patted the dust off her body, and straightened her hair.

After a while, a female teacher came over carrying a medical kit. She gently applied red liquid to the injured areas of the little girl's knees, arms and forehead.

The little girl was quiet throughout the whole process, neither crying nor fussing nor talking.

Chen Pingshan and the female teacher tried to coax her for a while, but the little girl just shook her head and said nothing.

"Uncle wants to eat maltose, can you sell these to me?"

Zhao Wenmu held the handkerchief and asked softly.

The little girl's tears began to fall.

Zhao Wenmu felt heartbroken when he saw it.

"Uncle, will you take me to eat delicious food?"

Zhao Wenmu reached out to hug the little girl, but she did not resist, so Zhao Wenmu picked her up with one hand, put the maltose into his pocket, and picked up her small schoolbag with the other hand.

"Principal Chen, I am Zhao Wenmu from the old Zhao Family Crayfish Restaurant. Please find someone to send a message to her home. I will take her to have something to eat and send her back later."

Chen Pingshan naturally recognized Zhao Wenmu. Zhao Wenmu came to see him several times in order to go through the admission procedures for the two boys.

The old principal nodded, and Zhao Wenmu took the little girl straight back to the old Zhao's crayfish restaurant.

"Xiao Wu, come with me."

After Zhao Wenmu left, the old principal called to the middle-aged teacher and returned to the school together.

"Ah! Whose little girl is this? She's so cute!"

During this time, Zhao Wenyan moved to a nursing home community to share the pressure of taking care of two elementary school students. She usually worked at a crayfish restaurant.

There is only one boy in the family, and she is particularly fond of beautiful little girls.

Zhao Wenyan gently stroked the little girl's head and combed her still messy hair into two cute little braids.

"Auntie, my name is Zhang Xiaohe."

The little girl replied timidly.

Zhao Wenmu's eyes lit up and he coaxed her all the way, but the little girl didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, as soon as the eldest sister took action, the effect was immediately noticeable.

He handed the little girl over to Zhao Wenyan, and Zhao Wenmu personally came to the kitchen to prepare food for her.

Seeing the little girl's embarrassment, Zhao Wenyan felt both distressed and angry, and wished she could beat up the person who bullied her.

She grabbed the little girl and took her around the store.

I have to say that the aquarium at the checkout counter and the artificial stream in the dining area are always children's favorite places.

Zhang Xiaohe had never seen such a scene before. He was fascinated by it for a while, and his eyes gradually regained their sparkle.

"Auntie, is this a turtle? It's so big!"

“The clownfish is so cute!”

…

The little girl who looked to be about the same size as Xiao Ziting immediately became the favorite of the store, and all the clerks would come over to talk to her whenever they had time.

"Gululu~"

A long and distant gurgling sound came, and Zhang Xiaohe hugged his belly in embarrassment.

"Come on, come on! Let's eat!"

Just at this time, Zhao Wenmu came over with a meal prepared by himself.

Crayfish, crab, grilled fish with green peppercorns, milk watermelon juice and dessert of milk-flavored egg dorayaki.

Full of color and flavor.

Zhao Jing, Rong Xinyi and Xiaonan arrived just in time. Zhao Wenyan was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything. The six of them sat down and started eating.

When Zhao Wenmu first arrived at the crayfish restaurant, he asked the store clerk to call Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi over.

Zhang Xiaohe has never eaten so much delicious food, and he was a little shy at first, but with so many good-looking and talkative sisters, the little girl kept giving her food, and her belly bulged after a while.

Drum.

"Our little girl has grown up and has learned to entertain guests."

After dinner, Zhao Wenmu got up and sent Zhang Xiaohe home, while the others stayed in the store to help.

Zhao Wenyan hugged her little girl and played with her.

Several people had their own thoughts and were waiting for Zhao Wenmu to come back.

After school, Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi were surprised when they didn't see Zhao Wenmu and their little girl waiting outside. After all, Zhao Wenmu always took them to and from school every day.

After returning home, she saw Zhao Zimeng and Zhang Yuanming hiding in the corner like quails. Rong Xinyi asked them, but the two boys gritted their teeth and said nothing.

When the boy in the store came to call them, he also made it clear that he would not take these two boys with him.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but invite them to come with her. Who knew that the two of them were shaking their heads like rattles and refused to go to the crayfish restaurant.

Zhao Jing and Rong Xinyi knew that these two boys were in trouble.

Zhao Wenyan saw that only Zhao Jing, Rong Xinyi and Xiao Nan came to eat. The two boys did not come, but Zhao Wenmu acted like no one was doing anything and did not ask any questions. She also knew that these two boys had caused trouble.

Then I think of the little girl who was picked up by Zhao Wenmu and was silent at first, with red potion all over her body and face.

The three women immediately speculated whether it was those two boys who did it.

If Zhao Jing hadn't stopped him and asked Zhao Wenmu to find out when he came back, Zhao Wenyan would have gone home and killed these two people.

When they arrived at Zhang Xiaohe's house, they were as poor as Zhao Wenmu expected.

The reason is actually very simple, she is an orphan.

An old couple adopted four orphans, three girls and a sick little boy.

Of course, Zhao Wenmu only learned this later.

"Xiaohe, uncle, can you buy your maltose?"

The old couple's home is a small courtyard. Although it is not remote, it is also a very dilapidated place in the county.

It is similar to the urban villages of later generations.

However, the compensation for future demolition of this location should not be less.

The small courtyard was filled with all kinds of debris, and the low walls could not block the view outside, but it was dark and Zhao Wenmu could not see clearly what was inside.

He stood at the door and said goodbye to the little girl.

"Uncle Zhao, you treated me to delicious shrimps, crabs, fish, cakes and drinks. I have never eaten anything so delicious."

The little girl clasped her fingers and said seriously:

"Thank you! I made the maltose and gave it to you!"

As she spoke, the little girl took out the remaining maltose from her schoolbag.

It was only about six or seven yuan, which she tried her best to put away when she first started.

Zhao Wenmu smiled and took the maltose from her hand, took one and put it in his mouth.

"Yeah, very sweet."

The little girl smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Is Xiaohe back?"

There were some old voices coming from the yard.

"Goodbye, Uncle Zhao!"

"goodbye."

The little girl waved her hands and returned to the yard.

Zhao Wenmu did not leave, he stood outside.

After a while, an old man with gray hair and a straight back came out.

"Uncle, I am Zhao Zimeng's uncle. I'm really sorry for what happened today. This is 100 yuan. You can use it to buy some food for Xiaohe. I will bring that bastard to your door another day to apologize."

Zhao Wenmu said sincerely, and at the same time handed over a small stack of large lump sums.

The old man quickly waved his hand and refused.
