Chapter 85： Extra two (1/2)
What Zhong Youyou didn't know was that Qin Yao actually saw her for the first time when she was very young.
The weather was very good that day, the sky was very blue, and the sun was pouring out of the clouds like a sweet egg. Qin Yao was still in junior high school, and the driver drove the car to the school gate. He just got out of the car, and a little girl ran up and down, panicked, embarrassed, and dirty.
Qin Yao's first reaction was whether the little girl was being chased by traffickers or something. He looked serious and planned to let the driver open the door and let her get in the car and send her to the police station.
But the one who caught up immediately was a middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman grabbed the little girl's arm fiercely, dragged her legs to the ground and backed her, pulling and cursing fiercely.
”Is raising you for plain rice? If you ask you to do some work, you will run out and follow me quickly. Don't be ashamed!”
The little girl bit her lip, and said nothing. After that, she seemed to be sore by the middle-aged woman's hair pulling her hair. When she turned around, she bit her like a tiger cub on the middle-aged woman's wrist.
The middle-aged woman immediately let go of her hand in pain, and there was another scolding. The little girl took advantage of the chaos and ran away with a very light posture.
The teenager Qin Yao, who was still in junior high school, felt incredible. How could a little girl who was a few years younger than him only reach his chest, how could he burst out so much energy, he stood in a daze and didn't move for a long time.
For Zhong Youyou that day, he might be just a passer-by who ran into him, but Qin Yao, who had recovered his senses, looked down at his white shirt and was smeared with dirty fingers. Printed.
The strange thing is that Qin Yao didn't feel dirty at that time, but a strange feeling passed through his heart.
The second encounter was still near the school. Qin Yao guessed that the little girl and her mother lived in a slum about two streets away from the school.
That day, Qin Yao did not ask the driver to pick him up. He was walking across the street to the vinyl store he was familiar with, planning to pick a few pieces of vinyl back.
As soon as she turned her head, she saw the little girl at the intersection. She was tilting her head up, looking pitifully at the delicious food on the stall, stinky tofu and candied haws, attracting her too much, although she did not drool, but Her eyes were full of longing and envy.
As a teenager, Qin Yao was always arrogant and never minded his business, but he didn't know why, so the ghost walked over that day.
He actually wanted to buy her two bunches of candied haws to make her happy.
But before Qin Yao approached, the middle-aged woman came again, picked up the little girl all of a sudden, and looked around vigilantly, as if she was afraid of hitting someone.
”I told you not to come here. You must listen. I'll break your leg next time you come here!”
Qin Yao was angry and thought, doesn't she just want to eat candied haws? Buy it for her, she is so pitiful, why not even give her a bunch of candied haws?
Qin Yao simply doubted that the middle-aged woman was just the stepmother of the little girl, not the real mother, otherwise, how could anyone treat her own daughter like that?
This is another world that Qin Yao, who has lived in a superior and harmonious family since childhood, has never experienced.
He hurried forward, trying to give the middle-aged woman some money so that she could buy something delicious for the little girl, but the middle-aged woman seemed to be afraid of meeting someone and disappeared quickly.
Qin Yao walked over, only to see her hug the little girl and disappear hurriedly on the street corner.
The little girl kept staring at her legs, still trying to escape.
Qin Yao looked back and glanced at the stall that the little girl was looking at pitifully. At this time, the prices were still very cheap. A bunch of candied haws cost one dollar, and a bowl of stinky tofu was also three yuan per bowl. Even the stall owner wanted to sell more stinky Tofu can also be sold by the block, which is three yuan for 50 cents.
But even so, middle-aged women are reluctant to buy it for little girls.
He slowly bought two bunches of candied haws and a bowl of stinky tofu. He never eats these things himself. He walked to the school with these two things, looked up at the sky, and suddenly felt very disappointed.
He has everything, and the little girl can't even eat something sweet.
The third time I encountered it was in winter.
Wearing a black cashmere coat, a scarf, and a stack of books in his arms, Qin Yao was coming out of the school, planning to cross the street corner and get into his car.
At this time, the roadside was covered with snow and it was not easy to park. He had always been kind to others and didn't make the driver difficult. He had to drive the car to the school gate, but asked the driver to park far away a street.
What's more, he always consciously or unconsciously walked a little more over there, wanting to meet that little girl again.
It was a pity that after meeting him twice, he never met again. He didn't know where the little girl lived.
On this day, after two steps, Qin Yao stopped.
He saw the little girl bending over and standing next to the snow in the heavy snow, shoveling snow carefully.
Qin Yao noticed that she was not wearing gloves, her fingers were flushed with cold like carrots, and she only wore a thin quilted jacket all over her body. She was crumpled and wide and airy, and it made people shiver with cold.
She should be cold, but there is no other way. She jumped up and stomped when she was cold, her eyes still full of hope.
Qin Yao knew that some people would be hired to shovel snow in the neighborhood here, and they could earn more than a dozen yuan a day. Is the little girl so young who came to shovel snow to make money?
Qin Yao walked over and tried to think of an opening remark.
But immediately, someone came behind the little girl.
It was another boy who looked fat, about the same age as a little girl.
”I haven't finished shoveling yet.” The little fat man ate his snacks and said disgustingly: ”Yoyou, you are too weak. This has been shoveling from six o'clock in the morning to now after school. It has been shoveling all day. A few bucks for you.”
The girl named You You huffed, spit out a white mist, rubbed her hands, and glanced at the potato chips in the little fat man's hand.
She said nothing and continued to shovel the snow, but Qin Yao could see that she seemed a little hungry.
The little fat man seemed to be her friend. After eating two bites of potato chips, seeing the little girl shivering, he finally showed kindness and broke a quarter of a small potato chip and handed it over.
”Well, I'll give you a little bit of it.”
The little girl called Yoyo jumped up suddenly, put down the shovel, wiped her body with her hand, took it carefully, and put the potato chips into her mouth.
After eating, she was still a little bit interested, licked her fingers, and looked at the big bag of potato chips in Little Fatty's hand.
”Can you give me two more slices? Just two slices. I'll do your homework for you.”
”It's you? Your grades are so good. Last time you helped me with my homework, all the questions I did were right. My mother found out and let me be beaten by my mother!” The little fat man complained, ”I will I won't write your homework for you.”
She was instantly lost, flat her mouth flat, and silently continued to pick up the shovel to shovel snow.
The young Qin Yao couldn't see it. He walked quickly to the 24-hour convenience store opposite, and walked past the shelves all the way.
He took a lot of snacks, potato chips, various flavors of potato chips, biscuits, red date biscuits, milk biscuits, and Wangzi milk. He also took a large bag of warm babies and put them in a big bag to check out.
However, when he came out with two bags and eagerly wanted to go to the little girl, the snow on the street had been shoveled.
The little girl is gone, and the little fat man is gone, leaving only a garbage bag of potato chips on the ground.
Qin Yao chased for a few steps, but didn't know which direction to pursue. The heavy snow covered his footprints and couldn't see the direction.
He stood for a long time.
Until the mobile phone in his pocket kept vibrating, the driver panicked and asked where the young master was.
He walked back sadly, thinking, next time you see someone, you must get to know someone quickly.
However, he didn't expect that it was the last time he saw the little girl before he went abroad. During that period, he went to the street corner there many times to guard and never saw her.
One day, he finally couldn't help it, and ran to the poor street and asked each house, only to know that the mother and daughter had moved.
The neighbors all said: ”They moved in a hurry. They didn't know whether they were hiding from debt or hiding. In short, no one knew where they went.”
The young Qin Yao just missed his girl.
Qin Yao was only fourteen years old that year.
Later, Qin Yao went out of the country and lived in a foreign country. Because the family's economic strength was strong enough, he did not live in distress like other overseas students, but still lived a prosperous life.
When he walked on the street, he often saw the tramp on the side of the road huddled together, with a dog and a bowl next to him waiting for relief.
Qin Yao often put money in silently. For some reason, he always remembered the scene of seeing the little girl several times.
