The Porsche had left, and I stood there in silence for a while, thinking about what had just happened.

I thought that although this woman's car was damaged, she didn't say a word to ask me for compensation.

Maybe she doesn't want to tangle with me anymore and thinks she's unlucky, or maybe it's my rogue face that makes her think that I probably can't compensate her losses. If she really wants me to compensate, she will inevitably have to continue to tangle with me, a rogue.

It's better to suffer the loss yourself and get clean.

Thinking of her angrily leaving, the frustration last night was finally resolved, but I didn't feel happy at the moment. After all, it was not what I wanted to do.

I sighed and looked back. The little boy was still standing there. The bicycle fell on the ground, with flowers scattered on the ground next to it. The flowers were crushed beyond recognition by the wheels, and the red juice stained on the marble floor tiles looked a bit shocking.

I walked up to the little boy and asked, "Kid, what's your name? What are these flowers for?"

He looked at the flowers scattered on the ground, with tears in his eyes, and said with a sigh: "My name is Shitou. I originally wanted to help my mother sell flowers here, but now the flowers are broken!" Speaking of grievances

At this point he started to cry.

I rubbed his head and said, "Don't be sad, Shitou. Even if you sell these flowers to me, I'll buy them all. Don't be sad anymore."

The little boy looked at me with wide eyes and said, "But uncle, these flowers are already bad, so I can't take them anymore. How can I still sell them to you?"

I felt hot in my heart and thought, what a kind child. I said to her gently: "It's okay, uncle broke your flowers, just treat it as compensation from uncle! How much do you think it will cost?"

Shitou stopped crying and looked a little hesitant. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Mom said a flower costs two yuan. I brought out a total of fifty flowers, which cost a hundred yuan in total, but I can't sell them all to you!"

I asked curiously: "Why?"

Shitou said with a serious face: "Because I used to only sell a few dozen flowers every day, and the rest that couldn't be sold would quickly wither when I took them back and couldn't be sold anymore, so I can only sell you twenty flowers!"

If uncle really wants to compensate me for spending it, just give me forty yuan!"

Shitou's words made me feel an inexplicable pain in my heart. Maybe only the world of children can be so innocent.

Thinking about what happened just now, it was just because someone accidentally splashed my clothes wet. If I could still be one-tenth as kind as the child in front of me, this series of things would not have happened.

Think about it, we all have childhood. We are all kind people at the beginning of our lives, but when did our kindness start to leave us little by little?

Perhaps we are in this hard world and have unknowingly sharpened our body with sharp thorns to replace the original kindness. Or maybe this itself is the price of growth.

I took out a hundred yuan and put it in his hand, but he insisted not to take it. Seeing his innocent expression with a hint of stubbornness, I finally stopped insisting and took out another forty yuan, and then he was willing to accept it.

I lifted up Shitou's bicycle and checked it. Except for the chain falling off, there was nothing serious. Then together with him, we picked up the unrecognizable bouquet of flowers on the ground and put it into the trash can.

Shi Shi gradually relaxed, and the innocent smile unique to children returned to his face. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. It seemed that the accident did not have any psychological shadow on him.

Looking at his slightly messy hair and ill-fitting clothes, I could guess that he must be a child from a poor family. Looking at his big eyes with eyelashes that have not yet dried out from crying, he smiled again at this moment.

, a faint bitterness surged in my heart. Life, who are you? Why do you make everyone so hateful?

After picking up the bouquets on the ground, I asked him: "Little Shitou, have you eaten? Uncle is hungry."

, would you like to accompany your uncle for dinner?"

Shitou raised his head and stared at me with his big eyes for a while and said seriously: "I haven't eaten, but my mother said I won't be allowed to go with strangers! Let alone eat food from strangers!"

I smiled in astonishment and said, "It seems that you are still a good boy. Your mother said this because she was afraid that you would be deceived by bad people. But do you think your uncle is a bad person?"

Shitou tilted his head as if thinking, and suddenly said as if he wanted to understand something: "Uncle is definitely not a bad person if he is willing to pay for my money!"

"It seems that you still have some ability to think on your own, and you don't always listen to your mother's orders. Do you dare to go to dinner with me, a stranger, now?" I asked with a smile.

Shitou thought for a while and said: "Although uncle is a good person, I don't know your name yet, so we are still strangers. Uncle, can you tell me your name? Once I know your name, we will get to know each other."

They are strangers."

He is really a stubborn child. As his name suggests, he is as stubborn as a stone.

"Okay, my uncle's surname is Wei, Wei Jinsheng. Now that you know me, can we go to dinner?" I said.

"Okay, then I'll call you Uncle Wei from now on! Let's go have dinner now," Shitou said.

"Then what do you want to eat?" I asked him.

Shitou looked at me and said, "I'm going to eat with you. I'll eat whatever Uncle Wei eats."

I said: "Uncle Wei invites you to dinner today, so you decide what to eat."

Shitou tilted his head and thought for a while, then looked at me and said, "Is it okay to eat anything?"

"Of course!"

"Then let's go eat KFC!"

I couldn't help but smile when I heard this. Looking at the way he was thinking seriously, I thought he would name some famous meal. It turned out to be just KFC. As expected, children are the easiest to satisfy. A meal of KFC was already what they imagined.

It's the limit.

When Shitou saw a sudden smile on my face, he thought he had said something wrong and asked cautiously: "What's wrong, uncle, is KFC too expensive? Let's go eat something else!"

I smiled and said, "Since you want to eat KFC, let's go eat KFC! Come on, kid, sit in the back seat, and Uncle Wei will take you to eat KFC!"

When Shitou heard what I said, his face lit up and he climbed up quickly. Then there was a scene like this. In this city that was red with burning clouds, a man was riding a bicycle quickly on the street. The back seat of the bicycle

There was a teenage boy sitting on it, his hands tightly grasping the man's clothes, his face showing inexplicable excitement...

Shitou and I were sitting across from each other in the KFC restaurant. I ordered a family bucket for him. Seeing him eating fried chicken legs with relish and a satisfied expression on his face, I asked him: "Boy, is KFC delicious?"

He nodded at me and said, "It's delicious. It's so delicious. I often heard my classmates say that KFC is delicious at school. This is my first time eating KFC. It's really delicious!" After Shitou finished speaking, he lowered his head again.

Continue to eat.

But I feel a little sad. KFC's fast food, which is not expensive, seems to be an extremely luxurious thing for a child from a poor family.

I touched his head and said, "Boy, do you really think your uncle is a good person?"

Shitou looked at me with confused eyes and nodded, obviously she didn't understand why I suddenly asked this. I then said, "Then let's be friends. If Shitou wants to eat KFC, how about treating you to it?"

Only then did Shitou understand my intention, and he said with an excited look on his face: "Okay, okay, I don't have any friends as old as my uncle."

I also smiled and said: "Yes, I don't have any friends as young as you! Then let's be a pair of friends who have never forgotten each other!"

Shitou nodded heavily and hummed. Suddenly he seemed to remember something and asked me: "Uncle Wei, is the beautiful sister who was with you just now your girlfriend?

Did you have a quarrel?"

I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect Shitou to ask this suddenly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "No, she did something that was sorry to Uncle Wei, and she refused to apologize to me, so this happened!"

Shitou said thoughtfully, and then said as if talking to himself: "But that sister is so beautiful."

After saying that, he immediately looked at me and said, "Does Uncle Wei have a girlfriend?"

I was stunned again, not knowing what this guy was thinking. But his words reminded me of Lin Wei, so I pretended to be helpless and said: "Originally, there was, but now it's gone!"

After hearing what I said, the big stone eyes looked at me and said: "Since uncle doesn't have a girlfriend, then the sister just now is so beautiful, can uncle..."

"Impossible!" Only then did I understand what this kid was thinking, and I interrupted: "You see she is so fierce, how could your Uncle Wei like such a woman!" Suddenly I remembered that the person in front of me was still a minor, and I

I actually discussed this issue with him.

I glared at him and said angrily: "What do you know, kid? You look like a rabbit and you think about these things? Did you not study hard in school to flirt with your female classmates?"

Shitou opened his eyes wide and said, "How is that possible? I have always been a good student in school!"

"I'm teasing you, why are you nervous? It's just that you don't understand adult matters, so don't keep thinking about it!"

Shitou then turned his attention to the fried chicken legs.

By the time I finished my KFC meal, it was already the lights were on, so I rode my bicycle, carrying the stones, towards his home.

In about twenty minutes, I followed the direction guided by Shi Tou to the old city in the west of the city. Shi Tou's family lived in a unit building, an old-fashioned unit building from the previous era. There was a wall surrounding the building and a large yard.

When I walked into the courtyard, I could smell the unique smell of dilapidation of old buildings, indicating that its former glory has become history. I also saw a large word "HAI" written in red paint on the wall of the courtyard, which was eye-catching under the illumination of street lights.

Somewhat eye-catching.

I know that before long these historical relics will no longer exist, new buildings will rise on their original land, and people will completely forget about them.

The unit building was pitch dark, with only three or two windows still glowing with lights. Probably the other residents knew they couldn't stay here for long and had moved elsewhere.

Shitou took me to a door on the fourth floor with the light still on and said, "Uncle Wei, this is my home!" After that, he shouted to the door whose paint had peeled off: "Mom, open the door.

Back!" After a while, the door opened. Shitou hurriedly pulled me standing in the back to the front and said excitedly to her mother: "Mom, this Uncle Wei is my new friend! It was Uncle Wei who sent me back and invited me.

Ate KFC!”

I just wanted to politely say hello, but the moment I saw Shitou's mother, I was in a trance for a moment, as if time had returned to many years ago, and I seemed to see my mother's appearance again, and her current face gradually became more and more familiar.

Mother Stone's faces overlapped and then merged into one...

In fact, she looks nothing like my mother. What makes me confused is that she has an expression similar to that of my mother when she was alive. It is a slightly sickly and tired look, but there is also a faint sense of perseverance.

It was oppressed by a heavy life, with some force but no doubt about it.

They themselves don't know this, because this kind of tenacity has been kneaded into their bones over time.

They all know that in this harsh reality, only by forbearing can they avoid being stabbed to pieces, and can they continue to live with a tolerable attitude. The same is true for my mother, and the same is true for the woman in front of me, so I can see her at the first sight.

Then I finished reading her life.
