Chapter 120: A Clear Conscience

"Brother, can I take this big bun home?" The little girl's eyes lit up when she looked at the big bun in her hand, and she raised her head and looked at Li Wen hopefully.

"Why do you want to take it back? You have only eaten half of the buns, and you are not full yet!" Li Wen touched the little girl's head and said with a smile.

The little girl's hair was very dry, like a pile of hay, and felt prickly to the touch. It was much drier than the hair of the little girl who had just traveled through Li Wen's time last year.

"I want to go home and bring food to my sister. Sanya has been sick recently and she just recovered a few days ago. Now she is also very hungry and can't even get up from lying on the kang." The little girl lowered her head and whispered.

"So that's it! But don't worry, eat. Brother, there's still a lot here. Then take it home and eat it with your sisters." Li Wen said as he took the buns handed over by the salesperson.

"Wow! Brother, are these all for me too?" The little girl saw the buns wrapped in the paper bag and slipped off the stool in surprise.

"Haha! You little girl, just like my sister, was startled. Come sit down and eat the buns. After eating, let's take them back together for your sisters to eat, okay?" Li Wen hugged the little girl on the stool again.

superior.

"Okay!" The little girl happily bit into the bun.

"Wow! This soy milk is delicious!" The little girl took a wooden spoon and scooped the soy milk into her mouth. She had a look of enjoyment on her face and kept mumbling.

"This big bowl is yours, drink it slowly, don't be in a hurry." Li Wen looked at the little girl who drank up to her nose and face and laughed.

"I'm so full! I don't even remember the last time I was full." After finishing a big bun and drinking a bowl of soy milk, the little girl patted her round belly through her single clothes and said.

"Have you eaten? Then let's go." Li Wen put the little girl down from the high stool.

"Auntie, you go ahead, I'll send this little girl back." Li Wen took Erya and greeted everyone in front of the stall.

"There are still many good people in society! This young man is young, but he has a charitable heart." Everyone in front of the breakfast stall sighed with emotion.

"Erya, where is your home? Come and show me the way." Li Wen smiled and said to Erya who was jumping around.

"Brother, I will lead the way, you should follow me!" the little girl said, letting go of Li Wen's hand and running forward.

"My home is in this courtyard." Erya came to the entrance of a courtyard, pointed at Li Wen and said.

"Okay, brother took note of it, let's go in." Li Wen looked at the yard. It was quite big, but rather shabby.

"Mom, Sanya, a big brother came to our house and brought delicious steamed buns." Erya took advantage of Li Wen's daze and ran to a room in the front yard in advance.

Li Wen knew that he came uninvited, so he did not walk into the room rashly. Instead, he stopped at the door of the room.

"Hello, who are you?" As soon as Li Wen arrived at the door of the room, a woman who looked about thirty years old came out of the straw curtain, looked at Li Wen and asked doubtfully.

"Hello, auntie, I met Erya at the door of the hotel. I know about your family's situation, so I came over to deliver some buns." Li Wen smiled and handed the buns in his hand to Erya's mother.

"Mom, eldest brother is a kind-hearted person. He even treated me to big buns and soy milk." Erya said as she got out of the gap in the door curtain on the side.

"Young man, thank you so much!" Erya's mother took the bun and bowed to Li Wen.

"Hey! This can't be done. I just gave you some steamed buns. Auntie, don't you dare ruin my life." Li Wen hurriedly stepped aside and said.

"Haha! It's aunt, isn't it? Come on, please come in and sit." Then Erya's mother opened the door curtain.

When he walked into the room, it could be described as a house with only four walls. There was a quilt on the kang, and a little girl was lying on it. The hot kang was connected to a small pot stand, and Li Wen noticed at a glance that the pot was still an earthenware pot.

As for furniture, there is only a table, a few stools and a small four-corner cabinet in the house, and nothing else.

At this time, there were a mountain of matchboxes piled on the table. Maybe Erya's mother relied on odd jobs like this to support her children.

"I'm making you laugh. That's all we have at home. Come and sit down quickly! What do you call me young man?" Erya's mother took a stool and handed it to Li Wen and asked.

"Auntie, you're welcome, just call me Xiaowen." Li Wen smiled and nodded.

"Auntie doesn't have a hot water bottle at home. I'll go next door and get you a glass of water." Erya's mother picked up a ceramic cup from the table and was about to go out.

"No need, Auntie. I just finished drinking the soy milk and I'm not thirsty. I just came to your house this time to acknowledge you. How old is Erya? She looks four or five years old, which is only one or two years younger than my sister."

Li Wen changed the topic and said.

"Erya is six years old. She doesn't have enough to eat all day long, so she is so small." Erya's mother stroked Erya's withered and yellow hair and said.

"That's the same age as my sister!" Li Wen said in surprise.

"My family's situation was not good in the past few years. My sister is only a little taller than Erya, and her hair is dry. When I see Erya, I think of my sister's appearance in the past."

"Since last year, my family's life has gotten a little better. My sister has grown taller and is now half a head taller than Erya." Li Wen gestured and said with a smile.

"That's because Erya is lucky. It's her fate to meet you." Erya's mother looked at Li Wen with a smile.

"It is indeed fate, so Auntie, I would like to recognize Sister Erya, what do you think?" Li Wen asked.

"Well, if you don't get it, Erya, please call me brother." Erya's mother said happily.

"Brother, I will have a brother in the future!"

Erya stood up and said loudly.

"Haha, you little girl."

Li Wen smiled and took out a pack of White Rabbit toffee from his bag and handed it to the little girl. "This is a meeting gift from my brother."

"Wow, there are so many White Rabbit candies!" The little girl opened her eyes wide.

"This is too precious, we can't keep it." Erya's mother took the toffee from Erya's hand and handed it to Li Wen.

Erya didn't cry when her mother handed the candy back to Li Wen, she just looked at it dryly.

"Auntie, this is my gift to Erya to change her mouth. You can't accept it." Li Wen waved his hand.

"Sister, I want to eat toffee too!" At this time, the little girl who was sleeping on the kang also woke up, lying on the kang and looking at a few people, she whispered.

"Are you Sanya? Big brother, can I give you some toffee?" Li Wen took the paper bag wrapped in toffee, took out one, peeled it open and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth.

"Mom, what a blessing, it's so sweet!" The little girl smiled happily with toffee in her mouth.

"Why don't you hurry up and thank you, big brother!" Erya's mother saw that Li Wen insisted on giving candies and stopped refusing.

"Thank you so much!"

The little girl looked about two years old, very small. She could not speak clearly with candy in her mouth.

"Auntie, I heard from the people at the state-owned hotel that Sanya is sick. Are you feeling better now?" Li Wen looked at Erya and Sanya playing and turned to Erya's mother and asked.

"It's better now. I had constant diarrhea some time ago and it hasn't gotten better. I went to the hospital two days ago and it's better now." Erya's mother said lovingly as she looked at her two daughters playing around.

"That's good. The child is still young. If he feels uncomfortable, he should go to the hospital."

Li Wen told Erya and Sanya a few stories, and chatted with Erya's mother for a while. When he left, he gave this great mother five yuan.

Li Wen felt quite heavy when he walked out of Erya's house. Although Erya's family lived in the city, they were worse off than many rural people because the mother and daughter had no place to go.

Although the rural areas are a bit harder, as long as the year is good, life is still passable, but the quality of life is a little worse.

Of course, in the past few years, not counting the famine years, it was difficult for everyone at that time.
