Chapter 129 Xie Cheng
"Do you know who that kid who barged up there today is?"
"Who is it? How dare they?"
"Hey, that kid is pitiful, he and his grandfather are the only ones left in his family."
Where are his parents?
"They're all dead, all of them died trying to save others."
This caused an uproar: "Ah, then why was his maternal grandfather dragged into this?" Logically speaking, this family has made a contribution, so it shouldn't be their turn.
The man who spoke chuckled sarcastically: "What else can he do? No matter what, his maternal grandfather went abroad in his early years, so he got dragged into this."
"This is truly a terrible tragedy."
"How many things are not sinful these days?"
That's right, and no one said a word.
Everyone knows that things aren't always as they seem, but what can they do about it?
When evil people revel, good people can't win; their only option is to protect themselves.
"Alright, stop this, let's take care of ourselves."
"Is this all there is to it?" Some people were still unwilling to accept it.
"What else can I do? You go?"
The person who was speaking fell silent.
"See? Nobody can control or change these things. I just hope to get through this and wait for the future. Things will definitely get better in the future."
What else can we do? Hope is better than despair. That kid who rushed in did so because he had lost all hope.
But those who gossip are not like that; they have families to support and responsibilities to bear.
Lin Guangsheng and the others fell silent after hearing this, no longer intending to listen to anything further, and took the child directly back to the guesthouse.
No one slept well that night, tossing and turning. The only ones who probably slept well were the children who only half understood.
The next morning, Lin Guangsheng and his group were picked up by the person in charge and taken to inspect the area. As for the children, one of them was also arranged to accompany them.
There's no way around it. Although this is the city, the factory here isn't as profitable as the one in town. That factory is a steel plant, while ours... well, it's called a steel plant, but it's really not as good. Otherwise, we wouldn't have told Lin Guangsheng in advance that they could bring their families. To put it bluntly, we just wanted to give everyone a chance to come out and have some fun.
The person who came was a young man with a smiling face who looked very approachable: "Where do you kids want to go? I'll take you out for a walk?"
The youngest child is Xiao Taohua, who is only 6 years old. The other two are Song Yi, who is 9 years old. The rest are all between 10 and 12 years old, and they are all considered older children.
This time, after listening to the young man's words, they all turned to Little Peach Blossom.
The young man, Xie Cheng, followed and looked over.
But in his heart he thought that although this child looked the youngest, he was definitely the leader among the children.
Actually, this job wasn't originally Xie Cheng's. But no one likes taking care of children. If the family members he was taking care of were all adults, they might even be thinking of taking the job. After all, dealing with adults is much better than dealing with children. With adults, you can at least build relationships. With children, it's just pure fun, and you might not even get any good out of it.
In the factory, everyone was pushing and shoving each other, and in the end, it all fell on the shoulders of the relatively young Xie Cheng.
What should Xie Cheng do?
Of course, he could only accept the order from above.
However, spending time with the children is good, as it saves me from the backstabbing and infighting with people in the office.
The city has been getting increasingly chaotic lately. Many people have lost their jobs, and strangers have taken their place. Even in the offices, there are new people. But everyone is related to each other, so Xie Cheng, who is fighting alone, always tries to stay away.
Given this situation, things are likely to get even more chaotic.
With various thoughts swirling in his mind, Xie Cheng wore a gentle smile as he looked at the children.
His natural smile makes him even more approachable.
Seeing that her friends were all waiting for her to make a decision, Little Peach thought for a moment, then looked up at Xie Cheng and said, "Big brother, we want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative." Her father had said he would take her there yesterday, but they didn't end up going. After thinking about it, Little Peach decided to go today.
"Going to the supply and marketing cooperative?"
"right!"
"Alright, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to join in the fun."
"Big brother, wait a moment, let's go get the tickets." Little Peach Blossom said, and went back into the house with a clatter. The others followed suit.
Xie Cheng didn't care. Even if a kid had a little secret stash of money, it wouldn't be much. He'd probably just go back and get tickets to buy candy. That's normal.
"Big brother, I'm all ready." After hurriedly grabbing her money and tickets and carrying her little bag, Little Peach Blossom ran out, her little chest heaving with heavy breathing, making her round face look even cuter.
Xie Cheng moved his hands on both sides, but ultimately held back.
This is someone else's child, not his own sister's.
Moreover, this child is really good-looking; you can tell at a glance that his family is well-fed.
These days, you can tell someone comes from a well-off family just by looking at them.
Unlike ordinary families, they were all as thin as monkeys.
The other children didn't waste much time either; soon, they all gathered together and left the guesthouse with Xie Cheng.
Xie Cheng was also very responsible as a 'tour guide'. Even though they were heading to the supply and marketing cooperative, he would introduce the place wherever they went.
If he encounters someone he knows, he will stop and say hello.
Of course, anyone who knew Xie Cheng would look at him with amusement and say, "So you've become a teacher?"
"No, they're all family members who came to inspect our factory."
"Oh, you can bring your family members when you come for an inspection?"
“These are the family members of the leaders,” Xie Cheng said with a smile.
Everyone looked at these children differently now.
Goodness, these kids are definitely different from the ones in their family.
After awkwardly exchanging greetings, they all slipped away one by one.
Xie Cheng didn't mind and continued leading the children toward the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the city was much, much bigger than the one in the town, and it was a two-story building.
Little Peach Blossom exclaimed "Wow!" when she stood below.
"Let's go in and take a look!"
The children cheered immediately, and Little Peach Blossom was no exception.
When Little Peach Blossom entered the supply and marketing cooperative, she wasn't in a hurry to buy anything. Instead, she looked around, wanting to feast her eyes first.
The supply and marketing cooperatives sell a wide variety of goods, including food, drinks, and household items, which is quite dazzling.
Xie Cheng explained to the children, "The bottom floor sells food and daily necessities, while the top floor sells clothes, yarn, and other items. You can take a look for yourselves."
Little Peach Blossom nodded repeatedly, and the others followed suit.
Xie Cheng looked at the group of children with amusement, but didn't say anything.
Song Yi, the nine-year-old boy, just followed behind Xiao Taohua. When Xiao Taohua smiled, he smiled shyly too. When Xiao Taohua frowned, he frowned as well.
Xie Cheng was quite speechless as he watched, but since it was someone else's child's business, he pretended not to see it.
These kids really do follow Little Peach Blossom's lead. Whatever Little Peach Blossom does, these kids follow along without any objection.
