"Little girl, are you okay?" A voice sounded in He Aihua's ears.
Judging from his voice, he was an uncle, but He Aihua shook her head and ran away.
The man was still standing there, recalling the scene just now. The scent of the little girl and her soft touch seemed to still linger on his body.
He Aiqing, who had chased after him, didn't expect to meet Zhang Yu who had just returned from work. He didn't even bother to look for He Aihua and greeted her respectfully.
"Hello, Director."
That’s right, the person He Aihua just bumped into was the mine manager Zhang Yu, a widower in his forties.
"Xiao He is back! Congratulations! You've just had a baby girl. How are you? Have you brought your wife and daughter back to the mine?"
"In reply to the director, we have collected them all today. We have to thank the mine for loaning us the tractor."
"Why thank me? Our mission is to help our colleagues in the mines solve all the problems in their lives so that they can devote themselves to their work."
Zhang Yu often used the public property of the mine generously, so he was able to win with a crushing number of votes when running for the director of the mine.
"That requires the director's leadership to achieve this."
"Okay, stop flattering me. If your father-in-law hears you, he'll blame you again. By the way, who's the daughter of that girl who just ran away? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Manager, that's my little sister. Tingting just came out of confinement and hasn't recovered yet. My mother asked her to come over to look after the kids and do some housework, to help out."
"Your mother is very considerate. It seems that your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a good relationship. But the little girl is new here and unfamiliar with the place. It would be very dangerous to run out like this rashly. As you know, most of the people in our mines are men. There are too many men and too few porridge. You have to be careful."
"Okay, Chief, let's go look for them first."
"No, no, it's already late. If your Tingting doesn't have a meal, she'll probably make a fuss again. Anyway, if I eat, the whole family won't be hungry. It doesn't matter when we eat. I'll help you find it."
For a moment, He Aiqing thought that the director was very understanding and always thought from his own perspective. However, he didn't realize that it was his actions today that had planted a huge hidden danger for him.
The mine is so small that as long as you don't go down into the mine, you can find people by just walking around.
Soon Zhang Yu found He Aihua on a small hill.
"What's wrong, little girl? Are you homesick?"
A deep man's voice suddenly sounded in her ears, and He Aihua was startled.
When I looked up, I found that it was the uncle I had just bumped into, and subconsciously thought that he was here to settle the score with me.
"I don't have money to compensate you. If you want to find you, go find my eldest brother. His father-in-law is the deputy director of the mine and he is rich. Besides, you didn't look at the road. You can't just let me pay you. I was also hurt." After saying that, he looked down at his mountain.
Zhang Yu followed the little girl's gaze and stopped at that spot.
Gradually, there seemed to be a ball of fire in his lower abdomen, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at He Aihua became a little hot.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not here to settle accounts with you. I'm telling you to go back. This is a mining area, full of dangers. It's dark at night, so it's better for you, a little girl, not to run around.
Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself. I am the director of this mine, my name is Zhang Yu."
He Aihua looked at the man in front of her in surprise. He didn't look much older than her, but he was already the director.
"I'm only forty, not as old as you think." Gu Youcai smiled after saying that.
He Aihua blushed when she heard the man's voice.
"My eldest brother is almost thirty, and you look about the same as him. I didn't expect you to be forty."
Zhang Yu has a fair and clean complexion because he sits in the office all year round and takes good care of himself.
The first impression he gives people is that he is gentle, elegant and refined.
"Let's go. It's so late and you must be hungry. Let's go back. It's not safe for a little girl to go out at night."
When He Aihua thought about the faces of her brother and sister-in-law she would have to face when she returned, she no longer felt hungry.
Zhang Yu walked a few steps before he realized that the little girl was still sitting there, so he went back.
"What's wrong? Don't you want to go back?"
He Aihua lowered her head and replied weakly, "Well, not really."
"Are you not used to being here? Or are the people in the Gu family not treating you well? It doesn't matter. Your brother still cares about you very much. He didn't even change his shoes just now and rushed out to look for you in a hurry."
He Aihua lowered her head and remained silent, tears as big as beans falling down like beads from a broken string.
After much hesitation, Zhang Yu finally chose to hold He Aihua in his arms to comfort her.
He Aihua seemed to have found an outlet and threw herself into Zhang Yu's arms and cried loudly.
Fortunately, this small hill is some distance away from where everyone lives, otherwise who knows what gossip would spread.
When He Aihua returned home, He Aiqing had just finished cooking.
Gu Tingting said angrily: "Oh, you still remember to come back, I thought I had to kowtow three times and nine times before inviting you to dinner."
He Aihua went straight back to her room.
"You're still getting cocky. If you have the guts, you'll never eat at my house. You're just a country bumpkin, but I'll give you what you've got."
"Okay, Tingting, let's eat. She's been hungry for a few meals and she's still eager to eat. Why do you care so much about people like her?"
Listening to the gradually fading voices outside, He Aihua covered her head with the quilt and slowly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, the dazed He Aihua felt herself falling into a broad embrace.
I woke up suddenly and was about to call for help when I heard a familiar voice.
"Xiaohua, don't shout. It's me. Come here. I'm here to bring you food."
