"Gouzi, this is given to you by your aunt. Didn't you say you wanted to eat noodles? Open your mouth and have a bite, okay?" Gouzi's mother coaxed Gouzi in a low voice.
Her husband Zhang Tieniu had already told her how this bowl of noodles came about.
She cursed her husband for being blinded by greed and doing such a stupid thing.
Fortunately, the other party refused to pursue the matter. If they had, he would have gone to jail.
If the man goes to jail, the whole family will be in trouble.
"Mom...it hurts..." Gouzi looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.
The burned area feels like being bitten by countless ants, it is itchy, painful and uncomfortable.
"It hurts..."
Gou Zi's parents started crying again.
I don’t know when I’ll finish this meal.
Li Jinfeng put her wet clothes on the footrest of the hospital bed and walked to Gouzi's mother. "Auntie, let me do it!"
"My daughter, you..." Gou Zi's mother looked at Li Jinfeng with tears in her eyes.
"It's okay, I know how to coax children. I promise to let Gouzi eat." Li Jinfeng took the bowl of noodles from Gouzi's mother and came over with a kind smile on her face.
"Gouzi, didn't you say you wanted to eat noodles? Your dad worked so hard to get these noodles, don't you want to have a bite? There's sweet and fragrant meat inside, and the taste...tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it makes my mouth water."
The dog lying on the hospital bed looked to be about five or six years old. He looked sick and thin.
His arms are so thin that they are almost as thin as clothes rails.
Such a young child was burned like this. Li Jinfeng felt pain when she saw his skin and flesh almost rotting away.
When Li Jinfeng mentioned meat, Gou Zi's eyes moved and his gaze fell on Li Jinfeng.
"That's not all. If you're willing to open your mouth and eat the noodles, I'll give you some egg cake later. It's soft and made of eggs. Do you want to try it?"
As Li Jinfeng spoke, she took out a golden egg cake from the cloth bag she was carrying.
The dog's eyes lit up and his saliva started to flow out.
"Eat noodles first, then eat egg cake." said Li Jinfeng.
The dog finally opened his mouth.
Li Jinfeng fed the noodles into his stomach bit by bit. She picked out the meat and stuffed it into the dog's mouth.
Children have small appetites and only eat one-fifth of a bowl of noodles at most.
She let Zhang Tieniu and his wife divide the rest.
The noodles bought with two taels of food coupons were quite a lot. The leftovers from Gou Zi were the first full meal for the couple in so many years that they almost cried.
Li Jinfeng didn't give the egg cake to Gouzi, fearing that he would get too full at once, but she put it in Gouzi's hand and let him hold it.
Li Jinfeng didn't notice that when the other people in the ward saw the egg cake in Gouzi's hand, they all drooled and wished they were Gouzi's hand so that they could take the egg cake and stuff it directly into their mouths.
The dog was finally coaxed to sleep, leaving her mother to look after her in the ward.
Li Jinfeng called Zhang Tieniu outside the ward and took out the can of burn ointment in a corner where no one was.
"Apply it every day and don't let the wound get wet. Also... the anti-inflammatory injection can only be used for a few days, so don't rush back." Li Jinfeng instructed.
Zhang Tieniu expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
He now believes that there are still many good people in the world.
He stole someone's things, but not only did the person not send him to jail, he also looked after his dog and gave it medicine for burns.
