Seeing Brother Jin walk into the kitchen, Su Xun lowered his eyes and looked at his open palm, where a pair of silver bells lay.
The red ropes on the two bells are connected together to form a bow.
He suddenly felt a little emotional and murmured in a low voice, "The child's sister left a bell to the child as a memory. Now, the child also left her own bell."
"The two bells are still there, but the two children are gone."
…
"Master Xiao."
He turned to look at Xiao Xiao, with some hesitation and hesitation in his eyebrows, "These pair of bells-"
"Return it to the parents of the children?"
"Or... put it directly on their graves?"
The reason why he asked this was because he still had some complaints against the child's parents, right?
Thinking that while Dangdang was experiencing the pain of losing her sister, she was also accused of unwarranted charges and suffered malice from the people around her, including her biological parents, he felt sorry for the child.
Parents who are supposed to protect their children turn a blind eye to their children's pain.
How can such parents safely hand over their children's last belongings to them?
However, they are still their children's parents.
They have the right to take back the child's belongings.
Moreover, “these bells were originally given to the children by their mother.”
Su Xun groped the smooth surface of the bell with her fingers. Instead of the initial coldness, it became warm. "In the end, it would be best for the children's parents to return the bell to them, right?"
"The two children will be happier, right?"
…
"Master Xiao."
He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Sorry, I'm going to take up a little more of your time later."
"I want to return these bells to Dangdang's parents first."
"OK."
Xiao Xiao looked at the bell in Su Xun's hand, "Those two children will be very happy."
"Um."
The corners of Su Xun's mouth raised slightly, "After all, they like this bell so much."
…
"How can we not have their bells around us?"
…
"Is this ready to eat?"
Hearing Su Xun's voice asking him to pay the bill, Brother Jin, who had just walked out of the kitchen, was a little surprised, but then he understood a little bit, "You guys are in a hurry to go home."
He neatly completed the work of collecting money and making change, and as he said before, he gave Su Xun a 120% discount on their meal money, saying it was for good luck.
Su Xun smiled and thanked him, and then asked Brother Jin about the location of Dangdang's house.
In the past few days, the kid Dangdang came here to look for him, and he had never been to that kid's home.
Naturally, it is impossible to know the location of her home.
"Hey, are you going to Lao Yan's house?"
Brother Jin shouted in surprise.
"Well, Dangdang, the child left something with me. I'll take it and return it to her parents."
Su Xun's words made Brother Jin suddenly realize, "That kid actually left something with you?"
"What a careless boy."
Brother Jin shook his head, his eyebrows dimmed a bit, and he muttered in a low voice, "He is also a bold child."
If he wasn't so bold, how could the child dare to go into the dark mountain forest alone in the middle of the night?
Moreover, that mountain forest just killed her sister half a year ago.
Thinking of some bad remarks, he shook his head.
As a child, are they too harsh?
Moreover, the dead are the most important, so it is better to forget those unfounded words.
…
"...I also want to go to Dangdang's grave to see the child."
Su Xun carefully put the bell into his pocket.
Brother Jin nodded understandingly, "I'll take you to Lao Yan's house."
"Brother Jin, tell us the location-"
Su Xun's unfinished words were interrupted by Brother Jin's wave, "That would be a lot of trouble."
"I'll take you there, it's not that far away."
"Besides, with me following you, you can explain some things more clearly."
"Okay, let's go."
Brother Jin walked towards the door, "Don't you still have time to go home?"
"...Sorry to trouble you, Brother Jin."
Brother Jin's reasons made Su Xun unable to refuse.
Indeed, if only he and Master Xiao came to the door.
The child's family may be wary of suspecting them.
Just explaining it would take a lot of time.
If Brother Jin is following them, then there will be no problem with their identities.
…
Brother Jin's concerns are right.
Dangdang's parents became unhappy when they heard that Su Xun was their little daughter's friend.
If it weren't for Brother Jin who was chatting with him, Su Xun thought, he would have been turned away.
...
"Lao Yan, you don't even believe what I say?"
Brother Jin frowned.
In fact, he couldn't stand the attitude of Lao Yan and his family towards the child.
Forget about others.
To put it bluntly, even if your own child has done something extremely wrong, there is no reason for parents to turn a blind eye to such a young child.
That's just a kid who doesn't understand anything.
Rather than being an adult who can take responsibility for his own words and deeds.
Sometimes he couldn't bear to see the child's appearance.
But what can he say about other people’s family affairs?
As for other people's attitudes, he couldn't change them.
All he could do was look at the child's situation and sigh.
"Brother Su is in love with Dangdang."
"When Brother Su was staying in my hotel before, that kid Dangdang came to play with Brother Su every day."
"Brother Su came all the way from Yanjing this time in order to return the things that the kid Dangdang left behind."
"What's going on with your attitude of driving people away?"
...
"What could the child have left behind?"
Yan's father looked a little impatient.
The young woman next to him gently touched Yan's father with her arm. She was Dangdang's mother.
The woman's attitude was much better, with a polite smile on her face, "What Lao Yan means is that children's toys are not valuable."
"Even if the child really left something behind, young man, if you don't mind it, I will give it to you."
"Why do you need to go all the way to do this?"
"I'm really troubling you."
...
Su Xun had already put his hand into his pocket to wrap the bell, and his hand was a little stiff.
For a moment, he wanted to follow the other person's wishes and turn around and leave.
However, he thought about it and took his hand out of his pocket.
"The clanging falling-"
He raised his hand in front of the Yan family couple, then flattened his palm and slowly opened his fingers, "These are the bells."
He observed the expressions of the Yan family couple and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and depressed when he saw their rather dull reactions.
"Dangdang attaches great importance to these bells."
He continued, "Almost never leaving."
"It's said that I have been carrying the bell since I was a child."
...
"I think she will be very anxious if these bells are missing."
...
"ah?"
The words of the man in front of her made the woman a little confused. She asked uncertainly, "Don't you know that Dangdang's child is no longer here?"
