The money was consumed until there was only three and nine yuan left, but I didn't dare to eat it because there was still a little fool.
After the kitten ate the last bite of cat food, it happily nestled in my arms and played with the dirty fur balls on my coat.
Standing in front of the glass door and looking at myself, my dark little face has not been washed for a long time, and my whole body is dirty. The dust is mixed with grass blades and is stained on the expensive clothes. The once beautiful and lovely face has long since disappeared.
And flew away
Now I am worse than a beggar
My stomach growled with hunger, stars began to appear in my eyes, and my legs shook.
A burst of fragrance wafted up, and I saw from a distance outside a small shop in front of me. Delicious smoke was rising from the steaming drawers arranged high up. There were fragrant meat buns slowly stacked there, which made my mouth water.
How about... grab one? I'll pay it back when I have the money
I made up my mind almost instantly. I hugged the kitten tightly and waited for the right moment. The moment the cage was opened, I ran over, grabbed a bun and ran away. As I ran, I stuffed it into my mouth in embarrassment.
My tongue and lips were so hot that they hurt, but I didn't care, I just kept chewing and swallowing
"You thief! Stop!" Someone grabbed my shoulder so hard that it almost broke. I stumbled and fell to the ground.
I quickly arched my body to protect the kitten in my arms from being crushed, but it still meowed pretentiously.
I turned around and saw an ordinary-looking boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, glaring at me angrily. He must be the child of the store owner.
"I'm sorry, I... I'm so hungry... I'm sorry..." I reluctantly stood up holding the kitten in my arms, the taste of vegetable buns still lingering in my mouth.
I'm so sad, why do you carry so little? I actually stole the vegetable buns. Alas, if I got a meaty one, my fall would not have been in vain!
I complained secretly in my heart, and saw the landlady coming over, wiping the water on her hands with her apron, and looking at my miserable state.
"Baby, why did you do this?" The lady boss was kind and kind, with a concerned look in her eyes that made me feel embarrassed. She didn't seem to care whether I stole her buns or not, but she was concerned about my current situation.
Could it be that... I met a good person?
"I...something happened at home, my parents are gone, only...only the little kitten still wants me, wuwuwu..." I started to make up stories. In order to increase the sense of reality, I thought of those sad things.
Son, tears streaked down the dirty little face.
"Is that so? Then you don't have any other relatives?" the landlady asked again.
I shook my head and blinked my big eyes. Looking at the seventeen or eighteen year old boy, he was obviously stunned and his face turned a little crimson.
"Baby, don't steal Bao Zi'ang from now on. How can such a poor kid do this? You go back with aunt and work as a helper in my shop. I'll provide you with food and accommodation, and there's not much work, okay?" The aunt came up and pulled her over.
Hold my hand and ask earnestly
Ah? I really met a good person? And... it's such a good thing!?
"Mom! Don't bring everyone home!" The boy blushed obviously, but he still clearly rejected me.
"Go away, Mommy has the final say on this matter!" The aunt shouted at him angrily, then turned to me with a friendly smile, "My dear, what do you think?"
I looked at the aunt's honest and kind-hearted face, and then at the bun in the distance. The little guy in my arms started shouting, and I had to nod in agreement.
If someone is willing to take me in under such circumstances, do I still have the right to be picky?
