urban life

Chapter 500 Amusement Park

Huanhuan's parents are migrant workers in the city. They are in the construction industry and work on construction sites all year round.

Because the management of the construction company was not in place, the husband and wife accidentally died at work while they were working.

The two old people lost their children, and Huanhuan lost their parents.

Now the two elders and children depend on each other for life.

Fortunately, the contractor at the construction site admitted that he was in the wrong and compensated the family for the loss.

The follow-up compensation is enough to raise Huanhuan and grow up, and it is also enough to support the two elders.

Looking at the slightly trembling hand of the old man holding the cigarette, Zhou Lingmeng pursed his lips.

If there is a choice, the family hopes to have another choice. The elders have children, and Huanhuan has parents.

The family is in harmony for a long time.

Zhou Lingmeng watched Huanhuan lying on the table, writing homework stroke by stroke. The bright sun shone on her dark face, showing determination and resilience.

Maybe it's been too long, and I can't remember it; maybe the memory has been numb, so numb that it can't cause emotional fluctuations; or the heart is relieved, and the past goes with the wind.

Regarding what happened to her, the little girl seemed extremely calm.

Calm as if they were not their parents.

Zhou Lingmeng choked up in his heart, and was speechless for a moment.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Nuxia frowned tightly, as if someone owed her money, as if she was trapped in a certain world and couldn't extricate herself.

Silence, silence, and more silence.

She had never felt so lost and depressed.

By night.

The second elder cooked a sumptuous dinner for the two of them again, and tried their best to face the two of them eating and drinking for nothing. The two elders showed no dissatisfaction at all. On the contrary, their wrinkled faces were full of kindness and smiles.

Since the child's death, their family has not had a newcomer for a long time, so they are naturally full of joy.

After dinner, Deng Xi went to help the elders wash the dishes and tidy up the stove.

Although Deng Xi grew up in a wealthy family, it can be said that he was soaked in a honeypot, and he stretched out his clothes to eat and opened his mouth. Stove work such as bowls is easy to come by.

Poor young man from a rich family, with tens of billions of dollars in his family, is being yelled at by Zhou Nuxia.

Zhou Nuxia was lying on the bed, looking through the window, looking at the sky, it was dark, her mind seemed to be immersed in darkness.

Crunch-!
The sound of the door opening attracted the heroine's attention.

I saw Huanhuan walking in with a basin of water, which was a little too big for her frail body, and she staggered when she walked.

"My sister washes her feet."

Zhou Lingmeng sat up all of a sudden.

She, who has always been careless, is also a little embarrassed. She is an adult who is actually taken care of by a little girl.

"I will do it myself."

"It's okay, I often wash my grandparents' feet." Huanhuan shook her head, tried the water temperature in the foot basin, then took off Zhou Lingmeng's socks, put her feet in the foot basin, and while washing her feet carefully, raised her head, her eyes were clear Ru Shui asked, "Is sister in pain?"

The corner of Zhou Lingmeng's mouth curled up: "Very comfortable, thank you."

The little girl shook her head, the two ponytails swayed from side to side, cute and well-behaved.

Zhou Nvxia's thoughts scattered, flying straight into the sky, silent.Huanhuan has no ability to speak and is immersed in the world of foot washing.

The room suddenly fell into silence and silence.

The little girl seemed to sense that the atmosphere was a bit weird, she raised her head towards Zhou Lingmeng, and bit her lower lip: "Sister."

"En." She woke up suddenly, as if someone pulled her from the illusory world to the real world, with a faint smile on her face, and asked in the most gentle tone of her life: "What's wrong?"

Huanhuan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something, she hesitated and asked, "Has sister ever been to an amusement park?"

"I've been there."

"Is it fun?"

"Return" Zhou Nvxia originally wanted to say "it's okay". She has been to amusement parks countless times in her life, such as Disneyland, Happy Valley, and Jinjiang Park. But seeing the little girl's calm eyes full of longing and curiosity, she changed the subject:
"Fun."

Huanhuan's pupils dilated and asked, "How fun is it?"

"Very, very fun."

"Really?"

"not lying to you."

After receiving the answer, Huanhuan seemed satisfied, and lowered her head to continue washing her feet.

"Why do you ask that?"

The little girl replied calmly: "Mom and Dad promised me to take me to the amusement park after returning from the city, but they never came back."

After washing her feet, the little girl took out a rag, wiped her clean, picked up the foot washing water, and then walked outside.

Zhou Lingmeng looked serious, looking at Huanhuan's back, frowning.

One night passed, and the heartless Zhou Nvxia never thought that she would have a day of insomnia.

She thought a lot last night, life, family, career, work.
Opening his eyes and shaking his feet, his heavy heart became a little more joyful.

Sure enough, as the old lady said, after applying the medicinal wine, her feet will recover soon.

In just one day, she already felt fine.

It just so happened that the door opened, and Deng Xi walked in: "Yo, are you ready?"

"Okay." Zhou Lingmeng said happily.

In order to prove that she is cured, she is still jumping on the ground, as if she wants to jump into space
Deng Xi was so frightened that he turned pale with fright, and quickly stopped his act of death: "Hey, my mother, you should be careful."

"I'm not like you. I spent several days in the hospital for a mere altitude sickness. Miss Ben's physical fitness is very good."

Deng Xi twitched the corner of his mouth.

What Zhou Nvxia said is always full of gunpowder and gunpowder.

It's really hard for ordinary people to get along with her.

Zhou Lingmeng waved his hand, signaling Deng Xi to make the bed, like ordering a servant, and then walked outside with big strides.

When I went downstairs, I saw an old lady wearing thick reading glasses, sitting in front of the threshold, mending clothes in the bright sunlight, and scratching her head with a needle from time to time.

"My daughter is up? Are you hungry? I'll get you some breakfast."

Zhou Lingmeng stopped the old lady's enthusiasm, helped her to sit down, and said, "Ma'am, I have a heartfelt request."

"Hey, as long as the aunt can do it, you can say it."

"I want to take Huanhuan to the amusement park."

Zhou Lingmeng thought about it all night last night.

She didn't expect what she could get at her fingertips, and she was even bored with it. The amusement park, which had already made no waves in her mind, was so precious and rare to Huanhuan.

When Huanhuan was asking questions, she could see a light in the little girl's eyes, cutting through the darkness and illuminating the sky.

In order to express his friendliness, Zhou Lingmeng said as sincerely as possible: "Don't worry, I am definitely not a bad person. I have been helped by you two elders, and I hope to give you a return."

After a pause, he continued: "If you are worried that I am a human trafficker, I can press my ID card to you, or I can go to the police station to verify it. Of course, if you two are willing, you can also go together, so that Huanhuan within your sight."

After the son left, the granddaughter became the hope for the second elder to live. If the granddaughter disappeared, the second elder might also lose hope.

Zhou Lingmeng went to explain his behavior and took various protective measures to make them feel at ease.

Nvxia wants the elders to feel that she really wants to give Huanhuan a good childhood.

"Hehe." After she finished speaking, the old lady smiled softly, "Girl, don't worry, calm down, I don't doubt what you mean, it's just—"

While the two of them were discussing, the little girl was also doing homework. She obviously heard that the discussion was related to her. She quietly stopped her homework and looked at them with wide eyes. desire.

The old lady patted her granddaughter's little head: "It's too much trouble for you."

"No trouble! I wish for it."

After a while, the old man wandered home, and the two elders got together to discuss it, and then agreed.

They also understand that their granddaughter has regrets in her heart. She didn't go to the amusement park with her parents, but she is old and has little knowledge and culture. She doesn't understand the twists and turns of the amusement park. , has been eliminated by the times, and they cannot take their granddaughter to play.

In school, other people's children are talking about it, but Huanhuan can only sit on the side, listening enviously to others.

This is the pain of the two elders.

The two elders said together: "Thank you!"

"It's okay." Zhou Lingmeng also became happy, his eyes narrowed.

Just do what you say, after lunch, Zhou Lingmeng and Deng Xi took the little girl into the city.

Before leaving, even though the two elders refused repeatedly, they still pressed their ID cards there, for no other reason, hoping to comfort the old man's heart.

Along the way, Huanhuan was still so calm and silent, as if she had nothing to say, but Zhou Lingmeng could see the joy and happiness in the pupils of the little girl.

Into the city, went straight to the playground.

Now is the summer vacation, when the students are on vacation, a large group of children gathered in the amusement park led by their parents, with happy smiles on their faces.

Huanhuan is no exception.

At the beginning, she was still expressionless, as if she was not happy at all, but after playing for a few rounds, her whole body seemed to change, her mouth would open unconsciously, revealing her white teeth.

Especially those eyes, which are sparkling and shining like stars.

Zhou Lingmeng suddenly realized that the little girl's smile was so sweet.

At this moment, she was squatting in a corner with Deng Xi, eating ice cream while watching the little girl play on the carousel.

"very nice."

"really!"

"You don't have any other words in your mouth, do you?"

Deng Xi thought for a few seconds and replied, "That's great."

"."

"Brother Meng, my admiration for you has risen to another level."

In the past, I said this purely for perfunctory, so as not to be beaten severely, but today the admiration comes from the heart.

Zhou Nuxia's behavior taught him a lesson.

The two grew up in a wealthy family, wanting the stars to pluck the stars, wanting the moon to take the moon, they were afraid of melting if they held it in their mouths, and afraid of losing it when they held it in their palms, and they had never experienced the life of ordinary people.

When Deng Xi took it for granted, Zhou Lingmeng was already thinking from the perspective of an ordinary person.

He felt that Brother Meng was extremely beautiful at this time.

"Hee hee~, don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend."

When the merry-go-round ended, Zhou Lingmeng swallowed the ice cream in one gulp, wiped the cream-stained corner of his mouth with Deng Xi's sleeve casually, ignored the strange look, and immediately greeted Huan.

"Is it fun?"

The little girl nodded heavily: "It's fun!"

"happy?"

"happy!"

Then Zhou Nvxia took the little girl to the next project.

She promised the little girl that she must experience every entertainment item.

It's night after playing.

Randomly opened an ordinary hotel.

Deng Xi said, "I'm going to change hotels."

"Don't!" Zhou Lingmeng shook his head, looking at Rujia in front of him, "That's fine."

"But."

She glanced at the little girl who was eating, and lowered her voice a little: "My task is only to help Huanhuan realize her dream, not the other parts. Don't open any luxury hotel, and don't buy her any luxury gifts. Don't try to take her to see the world, that's not something her family can do, it's very good if it's mediocre."

When Zhou Lingmeng was going out, Zhou An gave her a bank card with a deposit of tens of millions, and she was not short of money at all.

Why didn't I buy expensive gifts for Huanhuan, didn't open luxury hotels, and didn't eat delicacies from mountains and seas
It's very simple -

Zhou Lingmeng didn't want Huanhuan to get in touch with the material world too early. Once in contact, it would be difficult to get out without strong self-control.

What's even more frightening is that if you have seen the colorful society and the big world, but you don't have the strength and financial resources to match the feasting world, you will be completely lost in it.

Just like those gold diggers in the first-tier cities, they became slaves to money.

For money, you can give up dignity, faith, modesty, everything.

Zhou Lingmeng has seen too many examples.

She really likes Huanhuan, so she naturally considered the corresponding consequences.
Bringing little girls to an amusement park is within the reach of ordinary families, but luxury is out of reach.

She didn't want to have a negative impact on the little girl's life.

Deng Xi was serious and serious, and apologized: "Brother Meng, I'm sorry."

What he thought was right was actually wrong, and his heart twitched uncontrollably.

Feeling scared for a while, almost harming one's future and future.

"Tsk tsk tsk." Zhou Nvxia smacked her lips, and patted Deng Xi on the shoulder with a proud look on her face, "It doesn't matter that you are better than me in the exam, but you are worse than my sister and me in dealing with people. It’s far away, let’s learn more in the future.”

"Brother Laomeng is here."

Deng Xi nodded.

In terms of handling things, he and Zhou Lingmeng are indeed far behind by countless levels, which cannot be refuted.

"elder sister."

"Finished."

"Ah."

"I'm tired of playing today."

"I'm not tired, thanks for your hard work, sister."

"Small things! Go, go to bed, and sleep with my sister tonight."

"."

Deng Xi frowned as he watched the two leave.

Thinking of Zhou Nuxia's sleeping posture and movements, he was a little worried about whether the little girl could survive tonight.

Then he sighed helplessly.

Let it be fate.
