Chapter 253 Fetal Movement
After hearing what he said, everyone showed envious eyes. This was a hundred times worse than stepping into dog shit luck.
I didn't expect to meet him. It was such a surprise.
"Brother, if you become rich and powerful, don't forget each other." They patted Xu Hai on the shoulder and said. Xu Hai was about to say something when his cell phone beside him rang.
He picked it up, took a look at it and immediately pressed the answer button. A childish humming voice came from the other end.
"Brother Xu Hai, where are you going to eat? Can you tell me? I want to go too."
When they heard the voice, they all looked at Xu Hai. Who was the little kid on the other end of the phone?
"Hehe, are you coming over to have dinner with us too?" he asked uncertainly.
"Yes, you are not busy at work, so why don't you want to have dinner with me?" Hengheng asked into the phone. Gu Fei next to him held the phone for him and signaled him to continue with his eyes.
"Don't you want to have dinner with me, or are you delayed by something?"
Xu Haichong waved to them and asked them to eat first. He stood up and walked aside to talk to him.
Hengheng insisted on coming, and Xu Hai had no choice but to tell him the address.
After hanging up the phone, he walked over to their seats and said, "Be prepared, your kids at home are going to make a fuss."
"Is it the little kid from before?"
"Yes." Xu Hai nodded, took a sip of beer and felt it was cold. "It's so cold, how can you drink it like this?"
"Just drink it like this."
After knowing the address, Hengheng got up from the chair, changed his shoes and put on his clothes. "Mom and Dad, take your time eating. I'm leaving now." He said to them and ran out.
After the driver dropped Heng Heng off, Xu Hai got off and took him upstairs. He was quite surprised to see that Heng Heng came alone. After being kidnapped that time, they didn't dare to let Heng Heng go out alone.
Even if he goes out, there are always people following him. This time it was just him and the driver, and the driver couldn't get up.
"Why don't Sister Gu and Mr. Song come?" he asked.
Heng Heng said: "They are at home and don't want to come out."
Taking him to the private room, he asked Hengheng to sit next to him, and they all looked at Hengheng who was wrapped up like a ball.
From time to time, someone would pass food to him, and a group of people would tease him, so Hengheng ate very happily.
A group of grown men, all of whom had just come into contact with society, were now complaining at the dinner table.
"Oh, it's really hard to be an intern. I am forced to work overtime without pay every day."
"I'm even worse off. Not only do I get paid for overtime, but I also have to do the work of the old employees."
"I don't want to go to work anymore. I want to sleep."
"Who isn't?"
Xu Hai was serving Hengheng his meal. The hotpot was too spicy so he dipped it in boiling water for fear that he couldn't finish it.
Hengheng was just working hard and didn't listen to what they said at all.
"Xu Hai, how are you doing?" After they finished complaining, they turned their eyes to Xu Hai and asked.
"I'm fine. I don't have the worries you mentioned." Xu Hai picked up the shrimp slips and put them in Hengheng's bowl.
"Where do you work? It's so good." They were jealous.
Heng Heng said, "Brother Xu Hai works in my father's company."
His father, Song Tingxuan's TO Group, their idol's company, all of them were shocked.
"You can do it. Just keep quiet and do great things."
This hot pot took about two hours.
After everyone left, Xu Hai pulled Hengheng downstairs. "Are we going home?" Hengheng asked.
Xu Hai replied, "You go home, I'm going out for a walk."
Hearing that he had no intention of going back, Heng Heng immediately reached out and pulled his clothes and said, "Then I'll follow you."
"..." Seeing that he insisted on following him, Xu Hai had no choice but to take out his phone and call Gu Fei. After telling Heng Heng what he was thinking, he asked Gu Fei, "Should I send him back or let him follow me?"
"He wants to play with you, so you take him with you, but be careful and don't come back too late." Gu Fei didn't object, he just asked them to be careful.
"OK."
Since Sister Gu agreed, Xu Hai had no choice but to take him for a walk.
Seeing that he agreed, Hengheng jumped in front of him and asked, "Brother Xu Hai, where are you taking me to play?"
In fact, Xu Hai just went to the riverside to walk around, enjoy the breeze, sit down, and take care of the old man who lived under the bridge.
"Let's go for a walk by the river." He said as he walked forward holding Hengheng's hand. When they passed a convenience store, he went in and bought a lot of food. "We're already full, so why are you buying so many things?" Hengheng asked, not quite understanding.
Do you need to buy anything before taking a walk along the river?
"This is for an uncle, not for us." Xu Hai explained to him, "Hold my hand, the ground is a bit slippery, don't fall."
"OK."
The two men walked to the riverside. Xu Hai looked around but didn't see the old man, so he frowned.
This shouldn't happen. He comes up here every night. Why isn't he here today?
Xu Hai asked the driver to help watch Hengheng while he ran to the bottom of the bridge to look for someone.
Under the bridge, there were many cardboard boxes and some daily necessities, blackened quilts, tattered cotton-padded jackets, all of which were traces of people's lives.
Xu Hai turned on the flashlight on his cell phone and saw a bulge under the quilt. He hurried over and lifted the quilt, and saw the old man lying there motionless.
"Old Zheng, Old Zheng!" Xu Hai pushed the old man and called his name. After a long time, the old man slowly woke up. When he saw that it was Xu Hai, he said weakly, "Young man, you are here."
Xu Hai thought that the weather had been getting colder recently, and if it continued like this, Old Zheng would freeze to death this winter.
He put on his worn-out cotton jacket and wrapped himself in a tattered quilt, but he still couldn't resist the cold and kept shivering.
"Why are you here so late?" Old Zheng was unkempt and dirty, and spoke weakly, as if he could collapse at any time.
"I brought you something to eat." Xu Hai told him. The water in the river was all frozen, and when the wind blew it made a humming sound, which was especially loud under the bridge.
Hengheng, who was sitting on the bus, waited for a long time but didn't see Xu Hai coming up. He asked the driver, "Why hasn't Brother Xu Hai come up yet? It's been a long time."
"Wait a moment, we'll be here soon." The driver answered him.
"Can you go down and find him?" Hengheng looked at him and asked.
The driver shook his head and refused. He said, "I want to watch you."
"I'm just going to sit here and not leave."
The driver was scared by that incident. If something really happened to Hengheng, he wouldn't know what to do.
"I'm still worried."
After Xu Hai and Lao Zheng came up, Heng Heng saw them and shouted to him happily: "Brother Xu Hai, why did you take so long?"
He stopped when he saw the dishevelled and dirty old man walking behind Xu Hai. There was a smell in the air, which made him cover his nose involuntarily.
Lao Zheng was also concerned when he saw his action. He hadn't taken a bath for a long time. He hadn't taken a bath since the river froze.
It was normal for the child to think he smelled bad. "Brother Xu Hai, who is this old man?" he asked.
"This is Master Zheng." Xu Hai introduced him, "Go and bring the food over."
"Oh oh." Heng Heng went back and brought over the two bags of snacks that were on the chair, "Yes."
Xu Hai gave these snacks to Lao Zheng. Lao Zheng took them, opened them, took out the bread, opened it and started eating.
They sat on one side, Hengheng and Xu Hai sat on another bench, and Lao Zheng sat on the bench next to them.
"You don't need to buy me food anymore. These are enough for me to eat for a while." Lao Zheng said while chewing the bread in his mouth. They both looked at the frozen river surface. For some reason, this winter was particularly cold.
"Then can you afford to buy food?" Xu Hai asked him back.
"Hahaha, why can't I?" Old Zheng laughed, as if he was mocking Xu Hai for underestimating him.
"It's OK if I can. The weather this year is exceptionally cold. Do you want me to buy you a quilt?" Xu Hai looked at him and asked. Old Zheng shook his head and said, "No, it's too new. I can't bear to use it."
The two of them chatted from time to time and then fell silent from time to time. Hu Hu just felt so bored listening to them. It would be better for him to practice the piano at home.
"Brother Xu Hai is so bored, when are you going back?" He couldn't stay any longer and asked while pulling Xu Hai's sleeve.
Seeing his rosy little face looking at him with a bored look in his eyes, Xu Hai could only say to Lao Zheng: "I'm taking him back. I'll come to see you again when I have time. Remember to survive this winter."
"Haha." Old Zheng just laughed and didn't respond. Before getting in the car, Xu Hai took off his big cotton jacket and handed it to him, "It's warmer to wear this one."
At this time, Xu Hai was only wearing a sweater. After throwing the clothes to him, he immediately got into the car, "Hiss, it's so cold."
"Brother Xu Hai, why did you give him your clothes? Aren't you cold?" Hengheng couldn't figure it out, so he asked hurriedly.
Xu Hai touched his head and fastened his seat belt, saying, "I'm only cold for a while, but he's cold all day long. Give him some clothes, so he won't be so cold anymore."
"But we don't know him, why should we give him clothes and food?" Hengheng asked with his head tilted. He couldn't understand why Brother Xu Hai gave those food to the old man.
"Yes, we didn't know each other, but I saw he was in trouble, so I wanted to help him." Xu Hai said, "Even if we don't know each other, it's good to lend a hand when others are in trouble."
Hengheng seemed to be thinking about something. He was too young to understand now, but he would understand later.
After returning home, Hengheng immediately went back to his room, took out his notebook and started writing. After he finished writing, he put down the pen, checked it, and then closed the notebook.
【Why do we help strangers? 】
The long river of time will slowly tell Hengheng the answer, and then he will understand why.
Xu Hai has always been a kind person, even He Ranshu thinks he is too kind and gentle.
He is always so gentle to everyone.
The next morning, Xu Hai sat there eating breakfast with sleepy eyes, while Gu Fei was eating porridge. Halfway through, she put the bowl down, touched her bulging belly with both hands, and her eyes were wide open.
"He moved!" Gu Fei shouted, startling all three of them. "Who moved?" Xu Hai asked in confusion.
"The baby is moving!" Hengheng immediately ran over and pestered her, saying, "I want to touch it, too."
Gu Fei pulled his hand and placed it on his lower abdomen, and the baby gave him face and kicked him on the center of his palm.
Feeling the baby moving, Hengheng was also very excited and didn't know what words to use to express, "He—moved, moved again!"
The fetal movement made everyone in the family happy. Even Hengheng was particularly happy to go to school without any excuses like he used to.
When he arrived at school, Hengheng told his deskmate Xiaohua that his sister moved today. She moved when he touched her.
When Xiaohua heard him say this, she smiled and said, "That's great."
Today is Xiaohua and Hengheng's classroom duty. After Xiaohua swept most of the classroom, she looked at Hengheng and saw that he was writing and drawing on the blackboard with a pen and didn't sweep the floor at all.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Hua got a little angry and said, "Xiao Song, go and clean the third and fourth groups quickly. Don't be lazy anymore!"
"I understand." He continued to draw and write there.
After Xiaohua swept the corridor and took away the garbage, Hengheng still hadn't swept groups three and four.
She pursed her lips and went to sweep the two groups silently. As a result, she stopped writing after she finished sweeping. He looked at the crooked words on the blackboard and was satisfied. He took the blackboard eraser and the water bottle and started to wipe the blackboard. After wiping, he took the broom and planned to sweep the floor, but found that it had been swept and the little flower man was gone.
"Xiaohua, where are you?" He called out, but no one responded.
I looked at her desk and found that her schoolbag was gone.
"You're going back without telling me?" Hengheng also went back with his schoolbag. He had taken out the garbage before class in the afternoon.
Hengheng came early in the afternoon, while Xiaohua came late. He saw Xiaohua coming so late and said to her, "Can you come earlier? The class is almost starting."
Xiaohua picked up the trash can by herself without saying anything and went downstairs. Hengheng was stunned, and hurried over to pick up the other side and said, "What are you doing? Are you pouring it out by yourself?"
"And why did you leave on your own this morning without waiting for me?"
"Next time you leave, you must tell me and wait for me."
Xiaohua just hummed to herself from beginning to end and never said a word.
At first Hengheng didn't notice it, but at the end of the first class, he gave her food, but she refused to take it and just lay there ignoring him.
Hengheng just realized that Xiaohua was ignoring him, and Hengheng couldn't figure out what he had done to make her angry.
In the evening after school, Hengheng and Xiaohua walked together. Some female classmates in the class saw them walking together again and talked about it.
"Xiaohua is walking with Xiaosong again. How come they are together every day?"
"Mom said that there are differences between men and women unless they are boyfriend and girlfriend, so are they boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"That should be it."
