Rebirth of the era of struggle

Chapter 31 The Little Girl Doudou

An old man was sitting directly opposite Lu Yang with a little girl.

The old man was very old, his face was full of wrinkles, and he was wearing a dark silver bracelet, holding the little girl in his arms.The little girl looked about five or six years old, with big eyes. From her eyes, one could see her fear of strange things.

The family conditions should be poor, and there are patches on the clothes.

"Little friend, how old are you?"

Caring Moon asked.

"Six years old."

The little girl's voice was crisp.

After speaking, he timidly shrank back to the side of the old man.

The old man smiled and patted her head, and said, "Talk to my sister, why are you hiding?"

"Grandma, don't talk about her, she is really cute." Caring about Yue's love, she asked again, "Have you gone to school yet?"

"Not yet, grandma said, when mom earns money, she can go to school." The little girl whispered.

Caring about Yue's body trembled slightly.

She looked at Lu Yang.

Caring Yue's family is in good condition. Both parents work within the system, and they are never short of food or clothing, let alone money to go to school.

It was the first time she encountered such a situation.

From the TV, I often see some poor people, but it is separated from the TV and thousands of miles away. How can I witness such a shock with my own eyes.

The little girl didn't seem to know this, she whispered: "I don't want to go to school, I want my mother to be with me."

After speaking, he sobbed a few times, his eyes were red.

Hearing the little girl's heartfelt words, Caring Yue almost burst into tears.

Lu Yang also took a breath.

He touched the little girl's head and said, "Don't worry, your mother will always be with you when she makes money."

Hearing Lu Yang's words, the little girl sniffed and stopped crying.

Lu Yang talked to the old man.

Only then did I know what happened.

The little girl's name is Doudou, and her hometown is in a village under the green city. The little girl's father had an accident with a big car the year before last. Because the car was just bought, not only did he not leave any money for the family, but he owed a whole lot of money. .

In order to pay off the debt, everything in the house could be sold.

The only pillar is gone.

There are only three widowed women left in the family. The old lady is very old and is almost 70 years old. When she was young, she hurt her body and couldn't work hard.

The little girl was less than four years old at that time.

The child's mother had no choice but to go to Yangcheng to work alone, save food and expenses, and send some money back every month, part of it was used for food and drink, and the other part was used to pay off debts.

The old lady is at home, taking care of the children while picking up some junk and selling it for money.

Doudou's mother is not at home all year round. The little girl misses her mother so much. This time, taking advantage of her daughter-in-law's three-day vacation, she took her granddaughter to Yangcheng. See the world.

After hearing this story, Lu Yang and Guan Guanyue were silent.

Lu Yang was shocked.

It seems that there is some conflict with his worldview.

In his previous life, he was in the entertainment industry, Lu Yang was used to betrayal, and after watching too much green tea, he felt more and more that the husband and wife were like birds in the same forest, and they would fly separately before a catastrophe.

That's why he never intended to marry.

But Doudou's mother left Lu Yang speechless. For more than two years, she worked alone to earn money, supported the family without complaint or regret, and paid off most of the foreign debts left by her deceased husband.

This may be why women hold up half the sky.

Lu Yang admired this kind of woman.

Of course, he also knew that this might be the difference of the times.

After all, it is 2010, smartphones have not yet become popular, Weibo was only tested internally last year, there are no unscrupulous official accounts, and there is no Mi Meng.

in this era.

More girls like Doudou's mother and Caring Moon can be weak or strong. They believe in love and are willing to pay for their families.

"Pack lunch box lunch, put your legs away."

The conductor's voice woke Lu Yang up.

Doudou looked at the passengers in front who were eating boxed lunches, secretly swallowed, but didn't say a word, she was very sensible at such a young age.

The old lady took out a black bag, which contained several catties of sweet potato fries, which were soft and not fried.

Lu Yang had an idea.

"Grandma, is this made of potatoes?"

The old man said with a smile: "It's not potatoes, it's sweet potatoes. I grow them at home, boil them and dry them. That's how it is."

"Try it too, the ones in your own home don't use chemical fertilizers." The old man explained that he was afraid that Lu Yang would be as disgusted as Guan Guanyue.

In rural areas, sweet potatoes are not expensive, and the price is very cheap. Many people grow them and cannot sell them. They are all used to feed livestock.

"Thank you, I'll try it."

The old lady was very polite, and grabbed a lot for Lu Yang and Guan Guanyue. Guan Yue didn't want it at first, but she knew that this was the meal for the old man and Doudou to go to Yangcheng.

But Lu Yang stopped her with his eyes.

Lu Yang put a sweet potato into his mouth, it was sweet but not greasy, and tasted very good...

"It was delicious."

Lu Yang praised it.

Then he got up and walked towards the head of the carriage.

After catching up with the train conductor who was selling rice, Lu Yang asked, "How much is a lunch box?"

"25."

The conductor gestured with both hands.

"It's a bit expensive, 21 copies, I want five copies, how about it?" Lu Yang took out 100 yuan from his wallet.

"Row!"

The train attendants are not fussy either.

The cost of the boxed lunch is not high, let alone twenty, if it can't be sold later, people will be asked to buy fifteen copies. Lu Yang wants so much, so naturally he won't refuse.

The conductor enthusiastically put the boxed lunch in a bag and handed it to Lu Yang.

"You can also give me the box lunch at night."

Lu Yang asked a question.

"Yes, I am on duty today." The conductor said with a smile.

Lu Yang picked up another 50 yuan and said, "This time, I won't bargain with you. For 50 yuan, I'll order two, and you will deliver it during dinner."

The conductor didn't understand what Lu Yang meant, so he said blankly, "It's fine if you don't buy it at night."

"It's not for me, it's for the elderly and children opposite me. I'll get off the car soon." Lu Yang explained.

Only then did the conductor understand. He straightened his expression, rummaged in his wallet, took out a ten-yuan bill and gave it to Lu Yang, saying, "You are kind-hearted, I won't let you suffer, it's still the price. With my character guarantee, I will definitely send the boxed lunch there."

"If you say this to you, I believe you too."

Lu Yang was not polite, took ten yuan, turned around and left with the boxed lunch.

The conductor watched for a while, and when Lu Yang returned to his seat, a sincere smile appeared on his stiff face.

"Young man, why do you buy so much?"

The old man was a little surprised to see Lu Yang coming with a big bag.

"There are four of us, I'm afraid it's not enough to eat."

Lu Yang opened the lunch box, gave Guan Guanyue a copy, and then handed it to the little girl. The little girl didn't pick it up, but just looked at her grandma.

"Grandma, we ate your sweet potato fries just now, you can't refuse this lunch." Lu Yang said.

"Sweet potatoes are worthless." The old man was a little embarrassed.

But Lu Yang shook his head: "In my opinion, the sweet potato noodles you made, grandma, are much more precious than lunch boxes. Take it, Doudou is hungry."

"Yeah, it will be cold later."

The old man had no choice but to accept it. Seeing grandma take the boxed lunch, the little girl happily took the boxed lunch from Lu Yang, and said something crisply.

"Thank you brother."

The box lunch on the train doesn't taste very good.

Lu Yang ate a few mouthfuls, and then he didn't want to eat anymore, but seeing that Doudou was so delicious, he still ate up the box lunch.Concerned about the small amount of food, he didn't finish one portion. Lu Yang opened the remaining portion and distributed it to Doudou and grandma. In order not to waste food, they did not refuse.

The train staggered, and after several hours, it finally arrived in Shencheng.

At this stop, Lu Yang and Guan Guanyue will get off the bus.

Doudou was very reluctant, her eyes were red.

Lu Yang left a phone number for the old man, saying that he was going to school in Greentown, and if he needed any help, he could call himself.

Then, under Doudou's reluctant gaze, she left the train.
