The old lady returned the phone to Xiao Xiao, "Young man, do you have anything to do with that child?"
"You don't know that kid, do you?"
Otherwise, I wouldn’t come to someone with a photo.
However, the old lady couldn't figure out what could happen to two young people looking for a child.
"Did he get into trouble?"
The old lady had a look of surprise on her face.
This conjecture is not difficult to come up with.
People have come to your door, what else could it be besides causing trouble?
"No wonder I saw that kid running back in a hurry before."
Another old man also had a look of surprise on his face, "I called him, but he didn't answer me."
"What trouble did the child get into?"
An old man asked.
…
"no."
Xiao Xiao shook his head, "He accidentally bumped into my friend before."
"My friend later discovered that something was missing from him."
"I just wondered if it would fall on him at that time."
"It's just a possibility."
Xiao Xiao explained, "That thing is very important to my friend, so I spent so much effort to find this little boy."
"I just wanted to ask him."
"It would be best if the things are here with him."
"If not, it also rules out a possibility."
…
"oh oh."
"That's right."
The old people nodded one after another, "That's good."
"Although that child has a somewhat withdrawn temperament, he is not a bad child."
"He won't take people's things on purpose."
The old lady who was first questioned by Xiao Xiao took off her glasses and slightly bent her eyes.
"Um."
Xiao Xiao nodded, "We are just in case."
"Old man, where is this child's home?"
Meng Jixi saw the opportunity and interrupted, "Is it here?"
"Well, that's that family."
Without waiting for the old lady to answer, another old man stretched out his cigarette rod and pointed in one direction.
"Xiao Hua lives there with his grandparents."
"His grandpa has a bad temper, but grandma has a good temper."
"Where are his parents?"
Meng Jixi asked subconsciously.
"His father is dead."
The old people talked a lot. It was rare for a young person to come here and ask them what they knew. The old people were very eager to talk, "I had a serious illness and almost all the money at home was spent.
"
"The person was not saved in the end."
"His mother said he would go out to work."
"In the first two years, there was still news coming back."
"There will be no more news after that."
"I don't know if something happened or..."
"I definitely don't want to come back."
"The mother of the child is still so young."
"Look at the Tong family. There are two old people and one child. It's like a bottomless pit."
"The situation in the Tong family is too heavy a burden for a young girl."
"Oh, I feel sorry for that child Xiao Hua. Just now he remembered some things, his father left, and then his mother also left and never came back."
"It's no wonder that child has a gloomy temperament."
…
After thanking the enthusiastic old people, Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi walked towards Tong's house.
"Dong dong dong~"
Meng Jixi stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The elderly people not far away were watching their actions, with curiosity on their faces.
…
No sound came from the door.
But according to the elders, the Tong family are all at home today.
"Dong dong dong~"
Meng Jixi increased the strength in his hands.
He was not in a hurry, just tapping at a steady speed.
Five minutes later, "Who is it?"
The old man's questioning voice came from inside the door.
Meng Jixi said nothing.
After a few seconds, "Crunch~"
The door was opened, and an old lady stuck her head out. Seeing two strange young people standing in front of the door, she couldn't help but look confused, "Who are you?"
"Hello, grandma."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
Meng Jixi retreated to the back.
Let's leave the matter of dealing with the elderly to Master Xiao.
He can just wait to "arrest people".
"We're looking for Tong Hua."
This is also the name of the little boy that the old man told them just now.
Tong Hua, fairy tale.
It can be seen from the name that the child's parents are looking forward to this child with love.
It's just that things in the world are unpredictable, which makes people sad.
...
"Xiao Hua?"
The old lady was stunned.
This is the first time someone comes to the house looking for a child.
But not the child's friend or classmate, but -
The old lady's eyes showed a bit of consideration.
Two young people who clearly had no connection with children.
"who are you?"
"What do you want from Xiao Hua?"
Just as Xiao Xiao was about to answer, an angry voice came from the room, "Old lady, who is it?"
Then there was a sound of kicking, and an old man with gray hair but a ruddy face and a strong body came out.
"Old man."
The old lady turned around and called out.
"They are two young men."
"He said he came to see Xiao Hua."
"Looking for Xiao Hua?"
Like the old lady before, the old man was also stunned.
He looked at Xiao Xiao and Meng Jixi with tense expressions. When he found that both of them looked very educated, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
He almost thought that the little brat had caused some trouble outside, and the bad guy came to his door.
...
The thought of mentioning it has been largely relieved, but the doubts have not been alleviated at all.
What do these two young people want to do with that child?
The old man asked in a deep voice.
The exit question was exactly the same as the old lady asked before.
"who are you?"
"What do you want from Xiao Hua?"
...
"Old man, can we go inside and talk?"
Xiao Xiao suggested.
He could feel the gaze of the old man nearby.
"come in."
The old lady opened the door a little further.
The old man couldn't help but glared at the old lady slightly.
This old woman didn't even know who the other party was, so she just let him in?!
The old lady had her own reason, "It's so ugly to be blocked at the door."
"It's free for people to watch."
"Besides, the old lady still has some sense."
"These two kids are not bad people."
The old man curled his lips.
How can it be so easy to distinguish between good people and bad people?
However, he actually felt that these two children did not look like bad people.
Therefore, although there was some disapproval on his face, he made no move to stop him. Instead, he turned slightly to the side, acquiescing to the old lady's approach.
...
"Thanks."
Xiao Xiao walked into the courtyard.
Meng Jixi turned around and closed the door behind him, blocking out the prying eyes from outside.
...
"Young man, now can you tell me what you want to do with Xiao Hua?"
The old lady was not ambiguous and asked directly.
Xiao Xiao repeated what he told the enthusiastic old man before.
Meng Jixi's expression did not change, but she was sighing in her heart. It was a shame that Master Xiao had come up with such a reason.
Was it made up on the fly? Or was it planned on the way here?
You should have already thought about it on the way here, right?
Otherwise, how could you speak so smoothly without any stumbling?
