Chapter 127 Guaguagua.
He Liuzhi could be said to have fled in panic.
On the one hand, he felt that his biggest secret was known by a little girl like Xiang Yao, and he was afraid that she would really tell it to others.
After all, he had been raising someone else's son for so many years in humiliation, not for the purpose of letting He Guoqiang return to his ancestral home.
Secondly, he is still in pain all over his body and face!
This stinky girl's husband actually instigated others to beat him up! Didn't everyone say that Nie Baichuan was kind and good-hearted? Why did he feel that this man was like the King of Hell?
At this moment, King Yama is riding a bicycle and taking a big and a small child home.
He Guoqiang sat sideways on the front bumper, while Xiang Yao sat in the back seat. They drove quickly through the desolate fields, feeling the wind blowing all the way.
The weather suddenly became gloomy and cool. Xiang Yao swallowed a mouthful of wind as soon as he opened his mouth. He simply closed his mouth and said nothing.
When the car stopped at the Nie family's yard, she jumped out skillfully and said, "Zhang Xiaoxi promised to pack He Guoqiang's clothes. I think the weather is getting cold. Brother Chuan, why don't you go and urge them to at least bring some clothes over first?"
Nie Baichuan glanced at He Guoqiang who was standing obediently on the side. The child was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt and pants that only reached his calves. It was obvious that they were too small.
He nodded: "Okay, I'll go now."
Xiang Yao hummed twice, her eyes curved with a smile, "Then I'll find him one of your clothes to wear first, okay?"
Nie Baichuan had no objection: "There's a box in the corner of our room, next to the foot of the bed. Inside is my old clothes, clean ones."
Xiang Yao agreed and quickly glanced at He Guoqiang. Seeing that the child had his head down and was not looking at her, she stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Nie Baichuan on the chin.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Chuan~"
Nie Baichuan looked at her deeply and wanted to hug the little girl in front of him with all her strength, whose eyes were as cunning and smart as a little fox.
Unfortunately, the time and place are not right.
He stared at her meaningfully, then turned the car around and left.
Xiang Yao was somewhat captivated by Nie Baichuan's wolf-like eyes, and felt sympathetic. He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and called He Guoqiang to go into the main room.
"I guess it will take more than one day to complete the reinforcement of the house. Can you sleep with Uncle Nie tonight?" she turned her head and asked.
He Guoqiang nodded: "Okay."
He pursed his lips and said, "I can work. I'll help you with the work."
Xiang Yao patted him, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart, and said softly, "There's no need for you to do any work. When you live alone, there will be more work to do."
He Guoqiang stepped over the threshold and whispered, "Not much at all."
After he lived alone, he only had to wash one person's clothes and cook for one person. He knew how to do everything, and these were very simple for him.
Xiang Yao sighed in his heart that such an independent child would surely be able to leap out of this small world when he gets the chance in the future.
"Please sit down for a while, I'll find you some clothes."
She directed the child to sit down and went to the room to find clothes.
When they opened the box that Nie Baichuan mentioned, they saw that the clothes and pants inside were neatly folded.
I unfolded one of them at random and saw that the patches on it were of different sizes, but they were sewn neatly, probably because someone else had helped to mend them.
This dress was slightly smaller than what Nie Baichuan was wearing. Xiang Yao guessed that this was probably what he wore when he was a teenager.
This piece of clothing was for summer and was not suitable. Xiang Yao folded it again, rummaged downwards, and soon found a padded jacket that was neither too thick nor too thin.
The main reason is that there are no smaller clothes. At the moment, I just want He Guoqiang to wear it temporarily to keep him from getting cold, so the size doesn’t matter.
Xiang Yao took the clothes, resealed the box, then walked out, handed the clothes to He Guoqiang, and asked him to put them on.
He Guoqiang put on his clothes and was as stunned as a lost lamb.
"It's so big..." he said.
This coat is almost like a skirt, with the hem hanging down to the child's knees and the sleeves like water sleeves. Just a flick of the coat can be used as a stage for performing a play.
Xiang Yao couldn't hold back and laughed out loud: "Haha, it's indeed a bit too big...but this is already the smallest one, just wear it like this."
He Guoqiang nodded. Wearing such a big dress, he could hardly walk and was swaying like a penguin.
So Xiang Yao couldn't help but laugh again.
Seeing that He Guoqiang was a little embarrassed, she quickly made amends: "It doesn't matter whether the cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. This coat is a bit big, but are you not cold now?"
He Guoqiang nodded: "It's not cold at all."
He is actually very used to being cold.
Zhang Xiaoxi was not a considerate person. In winter, when she saw that He Guoqiang was so cold that his nose was running and the chilblains on his hands were about to ulcerate while he was eating, she would reluctantly take the trouble to quilt his clothes.
More often than not, it was the enthusiastic neighbors like Aunt Cui who couldn't bear to see it anymore and simply took matters into their own hands to help the child so that he wouldn't look embarrassed.
But today, the weather had only turned cold for less than one morning, and Sister Xiang Yao was already rummaging through boxes and drawers looking for warm clothes for him.
He had never experienced such care before.
I feel a little bit overwhelmed.
He was still too weak and didn't know how to repay such kindness.
Otherwise, when he goes to the mountains to collect firewood, he can pick up more; when he goes to the river to catch fish, he can send it to me.
He also knows where there are some delicious wild fruits that are very sweet. No one else knows about it, so he will go and pick them secretly tomorrow!
And more...
Xiang Yao had no idea what was going on in the child's mind. She said, "I'll talk to Aunt Xiaoxia in a couple of days and ask her to tell the teacher at school to let you go to school."
He Guoqiang was stunned for a moment, and a warm current flowed through his heart, making him feel as if he was basking in the warm winter sun.
A huge surprise suddenly spread throughout his body as the blood flowed, his face turned red and he was extremely excited.
"Can I, can I really go to school?"
The child's eyes are like stars, full of hope and longing.
Xiang Yao nodded solemnly: "Of course you can. Everyone has the right to education."
He Guoqiang seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He lowered his head and said dejectedly, "But I don't have money to pay tuition, and I can't afford notebooks and pens."
He never went to school, but he secretly visited the primary school on the team.
He lay on the windowsill of a classroom that taught first, second, and third grades, his bright dark eyes looking through the window at the teacher on the podium and the blackboard behind him.
There were words written on the blackboard that he didn't recognize, but each word was a small square, which he thought looked very beautiful.
Sometimes he would shift his gaze and focus on the sparse number of students in the classroom.
Some of them were his playmates, and some were little kids much younger than him. They had been crying loudly at home the previous evening, but now they were reading the textbook seriously with the teacher.
He would also watch them write and draw in their notebooks with pencils, and imagine that if he also sat in this classroom to write, his handwriting would be as beautiful as the teacher's on the blackboard.
But you have to pay tuition to study.
His father once said that he would not even think about spending money, as he would not spend a penny.
But he couldn't expect others to pay for him. Although he was young, he knew in his heart that almost no one would be willing to help him with something that cost money.
After all, everyone's family is not rich.
Why should people spend money to let him study?
But if he were to earn it on his own, he would still be too young, and the work points he earned in a year might not even be enough to feed himself, let alone exchange for money.
He knows very well that he can do things within his capabilities.
He Guoqiang pursed his lips in relief and said with a feigned calmness, "Actually, I don't like studying either. I have to go to school every day, stay in the classroom during class, and can't leave at will. I'm not used to it."
He raised his head and smiled slightly: "Sister Xiangyao, it's great for me to be able to live separately! I don't have to go to school."
Xiang Yao raised his eyebrows and instantly saw through what He Guoqiang was thinking.
A child of this age thinks he can hide his thoughts perfectly, but he doesn't know that he is not a professional actor and does not have rich life experience. His acting skills are actually very poor and full of loopholes.
She said directly: "Are you afraid of spending money?"
He Guoqiang was stunned, his face flushed, but he finally nodded shyly and said honestly: "It costs a lot of money to study, and I can't earn that much right now..."
Xiang Yao smiled and said, "I can lend you the money for your studies. When you grow up and make money, you can pay me back."
He Guoqiang shook his head: "It's not necessary for school, sister, you don't have to lend it to me."
Xiang Yao interrupted him: "Going to school is a must. Only when you can read and learn knowledge can you have more possibilities for your future."
She smiled gently at the child and said, "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to go to school, study hard, and learn knowledge, it will be easy to repay me in the future."
He Guoqiang pursed his lips in thought, frowning for a while, then relaxing a little, and this went on for a long time.
Finally, he raised his head, hope rekindled in his eyes: "Then I'm going to school."
Xiang Yao also smiled relaxedly: "Good boy."
He Guoqiang said firmly: "I will study hard, work hard to make money in the future, and repay you double the money I borrowed."
Even though Xiang Yao was facing a child, she was very serious. She nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, I will keep a record. You don't need to double it. You will pay me back the same amount as I lent you."
He Guoqiang was determined to double the amount, but he knew that Xiang Yao would not agree no matter how much he said so, so he kept it in his heart and just nodded obediently on the surface.
Xiang Yao only felt a great sense of accomplishment in her heart. How wonderful it was that she had the ability to let a child enter the classroom and learn knowledge when he was old enough to go to school.
"Alright, we'll take care of this for you when the time comes. Just live a good life and study hard, and it will be worth it for everyone to help you."
Xiang Yao patted his little head and said again: "Don't worry."
He Guoqiang nodded heavily, as if all the suffering he had endured before was for the happiness at this moment.
But Xiang Yao told Sister that his good days started from now on, and as long as he worked hard and lived a good life, his good days would continue.
He believes it.
He is relieved.
After a while, the sound of a car bell was heard outside the door. It was Nie Baichuan who came back.
Xiang Yao walked to the eaves to see him, and saw that he only had a mattress. She was stunned: "Where are the clothes? Why is there only this?"
Nie Baichuan glanced at the slightly amused He Guoqiang and briefly explained, "He Liuzhi saw Zhang Xiaoxi packing clothes and stuffed them into the stove, burning them."
He had snatched this mattress from He Liuzhi.
Damn it.
Xiang Yao couldn't help but curse in his heart, is this something a human would do?
He Guoqiang hung his head, his previous excitement and happiness completely dissipated because of what his father had done.
Although his clothes are tattered and too small, he still needs them very much.
He pouted and looked at the short-sleeved shirt he was wearing underneath through his collar, feeling aggrieved.
Without clothes, it would be difficult for him to go out, let alone go to school.
Just when He Guoqiang was worried, a soft, warm hand gently rested on his young shoulder.
He Guoqiang knew it was Sister Xiang Yao. He blinked twice to get rid of the moisture caused by the astringency, and looked up at her.
A soft voice reached his ears: "Don't worry, why don't we ask Brother Baichuan if he can lend you some old clothes in the box?"
Xiang Yao looked at the man with her round eyes: "Brother Baichuan, do you want to be a good person?"
Nie Baichuan raised his eyebrows: "Of course."
He agreed with everything his little girl said.
but……
"But what do you want to exchange for it?" Nie Baichuan asked leisurely.
Xiang Yao's eyes widened. "Do you need to exchange good deeds for something? Nie Baichuan, you have such a dark heart!"
Nie Baichuan's heart has probably never been in vain, especially when facing the lively and lovely person in front of him, all he thinks about are disgusting things.
"Yes, I do."
Xiang Yao blinked, moved closer to Nie Baichuan, and her voice became more charming.
"Brother Baichuan, I'll agree to whatever you want."
He Guoqiang, who was not far away, heard some words, such as "exchange" and "promise", so he pursed his lips tightly and thought to himself: Sister Xiang Yao has really sacrificed a lot for him...
He must work hard! He must repay her!
