They looked so pitiful that Lin Xinlan couldn't help but stop and wait for them to approach.
Before she could speak, the old man looked at her and said first, "Hello, sister, can you lend us some hot water?"
He looked at her with a bit of pleading in his eyes.
The girl next to him had her cheeks flushed from the cold, and her thin body was shivering in the wind, as if she would fall down at any time.
Worried that she would misunderstand them as bad people, the old man hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, we are not bad people. This is my granddaughter. We just don't have money to go home, so we beg all the way here. The two of us have not eaten for two days.
We have some food, you are kind and kind, can you give us a bowl of rice?" [
It turns out that they are all pitiful people just like her.
Lin Xinlan smiled slightly and said: "My house is right in front. If you two don't mind, you can go to my house to have a rest."
"Thank you, you are such a good person." The old man smiled gratefully.
"You're welcome. Let's go to my house now." Lin Xinlan smiled and led the way, and the two of them followed behind her.
She rented a house in this small town with several rooms and a small garden, but the rent was very cheap, only 400 yuan a month. She rented it for three months at a time.
And she only had so much time left.
The two of them followed her into the house, and the heat immediately hit their faces.
Ruby Lin invited them to sit down, poured them two cups of hot milk, then put on an apron and went to cook noodles for them.
The old man thanked her repeatedly and said she was a good person.
He called her a big girl, which made Ruby Lin feel weird.
If she hadn't aged, she probably would have called him grandpa like the girls around him.
What made Lin Xinlan feel even more weird was that the girl called her grandma. When she heard it, she almost collapsed.
Well, she is indeed an old woman now.
Lin Xinlan's cooking skills are pretty good, and soon two large bowls of fragrant noodles were ready.
The grandfather and grandson were really hungry. They ate very quickly. A large bowl of noodles was quickly wiped out by them, not even a drop of soup was left.
Lin Xinlan gave them some pastries and drank milk, so that they were full.
After eating, the old man began to tell her about their experiences.
His name is Yang Ming, and his granddaughter's name is Yang Shan. They are from a village in H City. They are the only two people in the family. Their son and daughter-in-law have both passed away.
Half a month ago, Yang Ming's leg disease broke out and he needed to go to the city to see a doctor.[
So the grandfather and grandson went to the city with all their savings. Unexpectedly, they were defrauded of all their money on the train.
They reported the case, and the police learned about their situation and kindly gave them a few hundred yuan and asked them to go home first, and they would be notified if there was any news.
But it was the first time for both of them to go out and they didn’t understand many things.
When I was buying a ticket at the train station, I bought a fake ticket from someone else. After I got on the train, I was found out and asked to pay for it.
But they didn't have enough money, so they had to buy tickets for a stop on the way.
After getting off the train, the two of them stood in an unfamiliar place, feeling confused. They didn't know who to ask for money, let alone how to eat and sleep.
So I had to pick up scraps and sell them for food while walking home.
I've been walking for almost half a month before I got here, and then I met Ruby Lin.
