Didn't the old lady just say that her child had stolen this old man's pet?
"Take a look."
The woman pointed to the child's pocket and raised her head to show the people around her, "Look, does it look like there's something in this bag?"
She reached out and pressed her pocket hard.
The crumbling look of the pocket confirmed what she said.
The onlookers nodded.
Only the old man looked distressed, "Hey, be gentle, be gentle, you're hurting it."
The young boy turned away when the woman tried to press him again, "Mom, it hurts."
"Did mom hurt you?"
The woman looked worried.
"It's okay, it just hurt a little bit."
The young boy flattened the pocket of his clothes and touched the bulge inside with his fingers.
...
"let's go."
The woman took the child and was about to leave.
She no longer wanted to continue talking to this old lady who was obviously a little confused.
It was a good Christmas, she didn't have time to waste here.
...
"etc."
Grandma blocked the little boy's way and said, "Give me back the little guy."
The old man's cloudy eyes glanced back and forth between the young man's face and his coat pockets.
This time, she will keep a close eye on him and will not give this little boy another chance to change places.
The young boy hid behind the woman as if he was frightened.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The woman shouted loudly, "It's not over yet, is it?"
...
"It's your child that's endless."
The grandma's face was stern, and her eyes were sharp as she stared at the young boy hiding behind the woman, "You want to steal my little one, don't you?"
"The little one is mine."
"give me back!"
The old man stretched out his hand to grab the little boy's pocket. She was running out of patience.
She was even more worried, would something happen to the little guy if he was kept in a closed pocket?
...
"What are you doing?"
The woman protected the child and took a step back with a wary look on her face.
"Old man, call your family."
The man who had been silent until now spoke up.
The old man was a little confused. He thought it would be better to let the other person's family take the old man home.
...
"What do you call family?"
Grandma was not happy, "Just give the little guy back to me."
"Call your family and we will return the little one to you."
Everyone could tell that the man's human words were meant to coax the elderly man to call his family over and talk casually.
But the grandma, who wanted her little one back, didn't think much about it, "Really?"
Her eyes lit up.
"real."
The man nodded.
"Oh well."
Grandma took out her mobile phone and dialed her granddaughter's number out of habit.
Ever since the little one got lost last time, Manman has been calling her all the time and visiting her often.
She would also occasionally call her granddaughter to talk about the little one.
...
"Grandma called me."
Wang Man walked towards a car.
She opened the car door and said, "Master Xiao, get in the car."
Xiao Xiao got into the back seat of the car and found that the driver was also an acquaintance.
"Master Xiao."
"Wang Kai."
Sitting in the driver's seat was Wang Man's cousin, Wang Kai.
"He just got his driver's license a few months ago."
Wang Man got into the passenger seat, "But my driving skills are still good."
"Don't worry, I practiced on my family's car when I was in high school."
Wang Kai is full of confidence.
Then his face showed a bit of solemnity and pleading, "Master Xiao, you must help grandma get the little guy back."
"Grandma really likes the little guy."
"Every time I call her, what grandma tells me the most is the little one."
"Obviously I have never seen the little guy, heard his voice, or even touched the little guy, but it seems like I already understand him very well."
Wang Kai felt a little funny when he thought about the scene of chatting with his grandma about the little guy every time.
"Yes, grandma likes the little guy so much."
Wang Man couldn't help but smile, "Even if grandma behaves like this, in fact, I have always been a little unsure about the authenticity of the little guy."
"But this time, I believe it."
"As Xiu Xiu said, the little guy exists, but most people can't see it."
"Only a few people can see it."
"Like my grandma, like-"
"That little boy."
Wang Man pursed her lips, "That little boy must have seen the little guy."
"And he likes the little guy."
Wang Kai couldn't help but angrily interjected, "He just wants to take the little guy away from grandma because no one else can see him."
"Children these days are all naughty, and they bully the elderly."
...
Wang Man's face didn't look good either.
She was shopping with Xiuxiu and several other girls when she received a call from her grandma.
She rushed over immediately.
Chi Xiuke followed along.
When they arrived at the place, they saw the old man standing there alone.
The people around me were standing near and far away, whispering to each other, and their gazes could not be said to be malicious, but they also made people uncomfortable.
For some reason, her nose suddenly felt sore.
She rubbed her nose and walked quickly to the old man's side, "Grandma."
She held the old man's arm.
Chi Xiuke held the old man's other arm.
They all saw the tiredness in the old man's brows and eyes.
It's getting late now.
...
It was already a little late when the old man came out.
She was worried that if the time was early, too many people would crowd the little one.
But unexpectedly, an accident happened.
...
"Manman."
The old man looked happy and said, "Xiuxiu is here too."
The old man told them the whole story.
The family on the other side did not interrupt.
After the old man finished speaking, the woman looked at the two girls and said, "I think you also know about this old man's situation."
"You should take her home quickly."
The woman was a little impatient, "If you let such an old man come out alone, you will endanger yourself and cause trouble to others."
"You family members should watch her more."
...
"brat......"
Grandma looked at her granddaughter, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.
Wang Man gave the old man a comforting look.
Then he looked at the woman with a serious look, "Well, of course I know my grandma's situation."
"Can your child return the little one?"
The woman's face, which had just relaxed due to the previous words of the girl in front of her, suddenly froze.
She looked at the girl in disbelief.
"What did you say?!"
"This old man is obviously confused. Are you fooling around with her?"
"You can show your filial piety, but please don't drag innocent people with you, okay?"
The woman's words seemed a bit rude.
Her patience was running out.
Why on a good Christmas Eve would she be here explaining to someone that her kids didn't take their things?!
