In the carriage over there, the grandfather and grandson were crying.
The old one seemed to be an old lady from the countryside, her clothes were simple and neat.
With her was a little girl, not much different in age from Xu Xiaoling, about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The wallet was stolen, and both the grandfather and grandson were sad, crying and cursing the damn pickpocket.
Xiaoling glanced sympathetically and handed her bread to them.
The grandfather and grandson looked at Xiaoling.
Xiaoling said shyly: "Seeing as your wallet has been stolen, I can't help you with anything. I'll give you some bread to satisfy your hunger temporarily on the way."
All she can do is this.
"This girl is so kind." The old lady praised Xiaoling.
The girl was also looking at Xu Xiaoling and smiled at Xiaoling.
"In this world, there are still many good people when you go out." The old woman added, not forgetting to remind Xiaoling: "Be careful yourself, don't let others steal your money."
"Well, no, my second brother will pay attention." Xiaoling replied.
Xu Xiaoling handed over the bread and turned back to her bunk.
Qiao Lifu followed and turned back.
This was just a casual helping hand for someone passing by, and no one took it to heart.
After a while, the girl who had accepted the bread came over.
When looking at Xu Xiaoling and Xu Erlong sitting here talking and laughing, the girl held a handful of popcorn and handed it over: "Thank you just now. I don't have anything else to thank you. I just have some in my luggage bag."
Some popcorn, I'll bring you some."
This went back and forth, and the two little girls of similar age quickly became familiar with each other.
She sat down generously in the seat here and told Xiaoling that her name was Zhang Mingwei and that she was from the capital. Her parents were usually busy with work and had no time to care about them, so they sent her to the countryside to be taken care of by her grandma.
.
She also said that she was grateful to Xiaoling for helping her now. When she returns to the capital, she will definitely thank Xiaoling.
He behaves in such a style that he really seems to be the daughter of some family.
Xiaoling also exchanged her information with her seriously. She came to the capital to play with her second brother.
Zhang Mingwei chuckled: "I envy you so much. You have such a good second brother. I have always dreamed of having such a second brother."
As she spoke, she glanced slightly at Xu Erlong from the corner of her eyes. The look of envy and admiration in her eyes was undisguised.
Xu Erlong was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
The little girl is so outspoken.
Xu Xiaoling and Zhang Mingwei established a very good friendship during the two-day trip. Xiaoling even used her own money to treat the two grandsons to dinner along the way. She even left each other's contact numbers and wrote to each other in the future.
.
Regarding all of Xu Xiaoling's actions, Xu Erlong did not interfere.
A little girl should always have her own interpersonal relationships. No matter what kind of person she is interacting with, whether it is an ordinary friend, a noble person, or even a liar, these are her experiences on the way to growth.
Xu Erlong did not want to raise Xu Xiaoling to be a flower in the greenhouse, ignorant of worldly affairs.
After arriving at the station, Xu Xiaoling said goodbye to the other party, and then followed Xu Erlong to get on the bus.
Along the way, Xu Xiaoling looked at the scenery along the way with great greed.
This is the capital. In the past, she had only seen it on TV and in movies. She never expected that she would now be able to set foot on this land and see it all with her own eyes.
"Second brother, I want to see the flag-raising ceremony." Xu Xiaoling said to Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong smiled and said: "There is nothing to watch at the moment."
"Then I'll come over and take a look tomorrow morning." Xu Xiaoling said.
"Well, as long as you don't sleep in in the morning, you can get up." Xu Erlong replied.
It's winter and it's cold outside. It takes some courage to get up early.
"I definitely won't sleep in." Xiaoling said confidently, and moved closer to Xu Erlong: "Second brother, I want to eat roast duck, and I also want to climb the Great Wall."
After all, if you don’t visit the Great Wall, you’re not a true man, and if you don’t eat roast duck, it’s a pity. This jingle resounds all over the country. When you come to the capital, if you don’t eat roast duck or climb the Great Wall, how can you prove that you have been there?
"Okay, okay." Xu Erlong agreed to his sister's requests.
He works hard to make money and runs around all day, isn't it just so that his family can live a better life and not have to worry about a little money?
"Second brother, you are so kind. You are truly my dearest and good second brother." Xu Xiaoling flattered her.
Xu Erlong smiled and shook his head helplessly: "Just don't secretly scold me in your composition."
"How could I? You are slandering, a naked slander." Xu Xiaoling said loudly.
Qiao Lifu was quite envious when he saw the brother and sister bickering.
Well, there are brothers and sisters in his family, but there are always all kinds of quarrels, and there is not such a good atmosphere as Xu Erlong and others.
After several bus transfers, Xu Erlong took Xu Xiaoling and Qiao Lifu and took an ox-drawn cart to the entrance of the village.
"Do you see the courtyard wall in front?" Xu Erlong said loudly: "The place where it says Xu Ji Furniture Factory is our foothold."
Xu Erlong stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
The words "Xuji Furniture Factory" in red letters on a white background are quite eye-catching and can be seen from a distance.
But at this moment, under the courtyard wall, a large group of people stood in a fan shape.
Although there was a distance, Xu Erlong still realized that something had happened at the furniture factory.
According to the habits of the masses, they are surrounding here in a fan shape at this moment. Something must have happened here, so they are here to watch.
Xu Erlong quickened his pace and rushed towards the furniture factory.
When Qiao Lifu saw it, he immediately followed Xu Erlong behind him, followed him forward, looked around, and protected Xu Erlong.
When Xu Xiaoling saw it, the two of them didn't even want their luggage bags?
"Second brother, wait for me." Xu Xiaoling shouted.
"Hey, you haven't paid the fare yet." The old man who was driving the ox-drawn cart grabbed Xiaoling and shouted for the fare.
Xu Xiaoling stamped her feet, took out a dollar from her small wallet, and paid it to the old man as fare.
Looking at the two luggage bags again, Xiaoling frowned, used her strength, and staggered behind with the two luggage bags in hand.
Well, I have been trained in the countryside since I was a child. Although I don't do much work now, I still have the strength. I can still barely carry two luggage bags.
Xu Erlong took the lead and walked toward the onlookers under the courtyard wall.
Looking at the people gathered in a circle, Xu Erlong pushed his way through the crowd and shouted: "Please give way."
These onlookers are all people from this village.
At this moment, when he turned around and saw it, he said in a flurry of words: "Xu Erlong, you came just in time, someone came to the door to cause trouble."
"Xu Erlong is here, Xu Erlong is here, everyone, get out of the way."
Everyone spontaneously made way for them.
Xu Erlong and Qiao Lifu walked in through the path everyone had made way for.
Xiaoling, who was some distance behind, was carrying two luggage bags and stumbled forward.
