She didn't want to either, but the world was too cruel to them, an orphan and a widow. She had no money to treat her child's illness, and no ability to give her a complete family. Even on New Year's Eve, when every family was reunited for the New Year's Eve dinner, she couldn't even find a dollar on her body to buy food for her child.
The more Zheng Xiaolian cried, the sadder she became, and the more upset she became, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the years.
Song Wenlin, who was standing by, also heard what the child said.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that Zheng Xiaolian really wanted to die holding the child.
At this moment, he was actually very glad that he suddenly wanted to come and have a look tonight.
If he hadn't come, would the mother and daughter be just two cold corpses?
When he thought of this, Song Wenlin felt that even breathing was painful.
Without hesitation, he strode forward and pulled the two fluttering men up.
He pulled Zheng Xiaolian, who was crying and a little dazed, and helped her onto the back seat of the bicycle.
"Sit tight and follow me!"
Song Wenlin did not ride. He knew that Zheng Xiaolian was married, so he had been careful with his behavior. But seeing that she and the child were too cold, he simply took off his cotton coat and put it on Zheng Xiaolian.
Zheng Xiaolian didn't want it, but Song Wenlin looked down at the child.
"You're not cold, but the child is! Put on some clothes!"
After saying that, he pushed his bicycle on the empty street, braving the wind and snow.
The snow had almost stopped by this time.
The ground was covered in white, the dim street lights stretched their shadows out, and the sound of firecrackers continued to ring in their ears.
But Song Wenlin's mood was different.
My heart feels heavy, just like the bicycle with people on it.
During the Chinese New Year, not many restaurants are open, after all, everyone has gone home to celebrate the New Year and have a reunion dinner.
There was no way Song Wenlin could take them home, so he pushed the cart directly to the nearest hot pot restaurant.
This branch was just opened some time ago. He bought all the things in it himself and he is the main person in charge now, so he remembers that there are still a lot of ingredients left in the kitchen.
Stopping at the door of the hot pot restaurant, he took out his key and opened the door.
Zheng Xiaolian, however, was holding Xiaoxiao and staring at the sign at the door in a daze.
After he opened the door and turned on all the lights inside, he noticed that the mother and daughter had not come in yet.
"Xiaolian, come in?"
Zheng Xiaolian was a little hesitant because this hot pot restaurant was very popular in Beijing. She had heard of it, but she didn't have the money to come and eat there.
Zheng Lijun has been there to eat with his coworkers a few times. After coming back, they kept saying that the food was delicious. It seemed like they were proud to be able to eat here.
But Zheng Xiaolian never thought that Song Wenlin would have any relationship with this store.
She walked into the store carefully holding Xiaoxiao, afraid of dirtying the clean floor.
She looked around and asked in a low voice, "This, this store, is it you who opened it?"
Song Wenlin nodded, then shook his head.
"My sister and I opened this business together! Come and sit down! You and the kids, wait a moment. I'll go to the kitchen to see what's available!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the kitchen.
Zheng Xiaolian held Xiaoxiao in her arms and found a place in the corner to sit down awkwardly. The stools here were all soft sofas.
The outside looks like leather, so nice.
For fear of getting him dirty, she only dared to sit on the edge.
When Song Wenlin brought out the simmered hot pot, he discovered that she seemed particularly nervous.
Xiaoxiao was held in her arms and sat on her lap, and she didn't even dare let her move.
Song Wenlin put the pot on the table and lit some charcoal underneath.
Only then did he take Xiaoxiao over.
"Come here, Xiaoxiao, uncle will give you some candy!"
He was looking for food in the kitchen just now, and unexpectedly found a bag of milk candy and a bag of fruit candy. These were the leftovers from the year-end benefits he gave to his employees.
After giving the two bags of candy to the child, he also brought out the washed and cut vegetables.
He cut the sausage, soaked the black fungus, and found some cabbage, radish, winter melon, vermicelli, and dry noodles.
There wasn't much meat left, but it was enough for the mother and daughter to have a few meals.
The mutton was frozen hard and was cut into slices by him, and the pork ribs were cut into thin pieces.
Seeing how many things he had produced, Zheng Xiaolian felt really embarrassed.
"Wenlin, that's enough. Stop it. Just have noodles to eat!"
Song Wenlin laughed and said, "The child is young, how can he eat only these useless foods?"
As he spoke, he took out five eggs from his pocket like a magic trick.
Watch the soup in the pot boil.
Just crack the egg into the mushroom soup pot on the other side.
"This mushroom soup is good for your health. I know you like spicy food, so here's a spicy hot pot. Eating something spicy can also drive away the cold!"
At this time, the air was already filled with the aroma of mushrooms and spicy hot pot.
Zheng Xiaolian said she was not hungry, but her stomach had already betrayed her.
The "gurgling" sound is particularly abrupt in the quiet hot pot restaurant.
Xiaoxiao giggled and said, "Mommy is hungry!"
As she spoke, she rubbed her belly, tilted her head back, and looked at Song Wenlin with a wronged expression.
"Uncle, Xiaoxiao is hungry too. Xiaoxiao hasn't had a full meal for several days!"
Song Wenlin rubbed her head with a distressed look.
"Xiaoxiao, be good and eat as much as you want today. Uncle will make sure you are full!"
Xiaoxiao was very happy when she heard it. Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she looked up at Zheng Xiaolian opposite her.
She pursed her lips and said, "But, uncle, my mother has no money..."
