The denominations are not big, 50 cents, 10 cents, 1 yuan, 5 yuan...

Adding them together, it shouldn’t be much.

But Linlin was very happy. She smiled and said, "Look, uncle, this is what I earn from picking up trash. Mom doesn't even know about it. I'm going to save this money. If I'm gone in the future, Mom can use it to buy meat. She hasn't eaten meat for a long time. Every time I buy a little bit of meat, she gives it all to me."

As she spoke, Linlin felt a little sad.

Tang Xiaobao pursed his lips, his eyes feeling a little sore.

He was so moved that he was speechless.

"Okay, uncle, this is our secret, don't tell mom."

Children can recover quickly. After a while, Linlin said, "Besides, now that I'm well, I can pick up more trash in the future. I don't want Mom to work so hard singing. Every time she goes out to sing, she comes back crying, and it makes me so sad."

"Linlin is such a sensible and good child. Don't worry, you will never have to live such a hard life again."

"Why?"

"Because uncle is here." Tang Xiaobao said with a smile: "Linlin, do you like uncle?"

"Of course I do. Uncle cured our illness and treated Linlin so well. I can see that you really care about us. Besides, you're so handsome."

Wow, Tang Xiaobao was speechless.

The first half is fine, but the second half is nothing.

"Linlin, how old are you this year?"

"Almost nine."

Tang Xiaobao said, "How about I be your father?"

"ah?"

Linlin opened her eyes wide and looked at Tang Xiaobao, suddenly feeling at a loss.

"Really, really, really?"

Linlin's voice was trembling as she spoke.
