Chapter 016 Little Warm-hearted Man
Xingxing didn’t say a word from beginning to end.
Lin Wanxia didn’t think much about it, just thinking that he was woken up and was in a bad mood, and touched his little head, "Are you hungry? Sister will take you to buy delicious food."
It was already past breakfast time, but it was still a long way from lunch. Lin Wanxia planned to buy Xingxing some snacks or fruits to fill his stomach.
Xingxing shook his head, as if he had made up his mind. Without saying a word, he held Lin Wanxia’s hand and walked home quickly.
Walking was Lin Wanxia’s speed, and little Xingxing was jogging all the way.
Lin Wanxia didn’t understand why, so she could only follow behind.
After arriving home, Little Xingxing rushed into his room and rummaged through his closet for a long time. He turned around and raised his hands to Lin Wanxia with excitement: "Here, for you!"
Lin Wanxia lowered her head and saw a large roll of paper lying in Xingxing's palm. The
large roll, with a face value of ten yuan, is the largest face value of a single currency note so far, and its purchasing power is about equal to two hundred and twenty yuan in the New Century.
For Lin Wanxia at the moment, ten yuan is a huge sum of money, not to mention for a child as young as Xingxing.
Lin Wanxia didn't take it and asked him: "Where did you get the money?"
I really want to add that stealing money from adults is not a good behavior.
In the remaining memories of the original owner, adults usually give pocket money to children accurately to the cent, and even to the dime during festivals.
How could someone give ten yuan out of the blue?
However, questioning them will hurt the child's self-esteem. It will be even more embarrassing if the child is wrongly accused.
"My dad gave it to me."
Lin Wanxia was skeptical.
Xingxing was just small but not stupid. Seeing that Lin Wanxia didn't believe him, he grunted and went back to the closet, took out a small square wooden box and opened it in front of Lin Wanxia.
The banknotes in the wooden box were neatly arranged according to their denominations.
The smallest one was a yellow banknote with a denomination of one cent, and the largest one was the big reunion.
There were five big reunion notes alone.
There were also several coins of different denominations scattered at the bottom of the box.
It's not right to say they are coins. One cent, two cents, five cents and even ten cents are not made of steel. They are very light.
Lin Wanxia: "..."
She was stunned.
She has been busy since early morning and has only earned three dollars and fifty cents. Last time, she only earned twenty-six dollars using the golden finger, and a three-year-old child has fifty or sixty dollars? !
It's true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare things to others, you will throw them away.
However, Lin Wanxia is not the original owner, and this amount of money is only enough to surprise her for three seconds. She is more curious about, "Why did your father give you so much money?"
"My father said that I have to pay for meals when I live in someone else's house. Or if other children buy things and I want them, I can buy them with my own money."
Lin Wanxia was slightly stunned.
Xingxing said it as a matter of course, but Lin Wanxia inexplicably felt a little distressed.
Jiang Sinian said that Xingxing grew up eating at many people's homes, but in an era of per capita poverty, who would be willing to raise another child? It's a waste of time and effort.
How can life under someone else's roof be so easy?
She touched Xingxing's head and said softly, "Then you don't have to give me money! Your father has already given me your meal money."
Xingxing shook his head, "I'm not paying for the meal, I just don't want you to work so hard to make money, otherwise... I can eat less."
Lin Wanxia's nose was sour and she almost cried.
She didn't cry when she was transformed into a cannon fodder character with only one sentence in the book. She
didn't cry when she faced the new rotten stall. She didn't
cry when she was tired and afraid to get up in the middle of the night to go to the sea.
But because of a three-year-old child's words, she was defeated.
Lin Wanxia raised her head, swallowed back her tears, and after calming down, she teased Xingxing: "Don't you hate me? Why do you feel sorry for me?"
Xingxing lowered his head, rubbed the paper money in his hands unconsciously, and twisted his body. "I don't hate you. You are better than all the aunts."
As soon as the voice fell, he added, "Except Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia is the best."
Although Lin Wanxia was very good to him, she would not beat or scold him, would make delicious food for him, take him to play, teach him to wash clothes, teach him how to brush his teeth and wash his face correctly, and would take him to exercise, teach him kung fu, and tell him bedtime stories.
But Aunt Xia has been with him for so long, and he can't forget Aunt Xia.
"All the aunts?" Lin Wanxia raised her eyebrows, "Your father has had many girlfriends?"
Xingxing shook her head, "Aunts are not girlfriends, they are the aunts in the family compound..."
Lin Wanxia guessed and supplemented based on Xingxing's unclear description, knowing that Jiang Sinian often went on missions as a soldier, and every time he went out, he would entrust him to the family members who followed the army.
The family members would take Xingxing in for the sake of their men, but people have different personalities, each with their own advantages and disadvantages, and Xingxing had different experiences living under someone else's roof.
For example, he hated Dazhuang's mother the most. Dazhuang's mother would only like to take Xingxing in when Jiang Sinian just received his allowance. Every time Xingxing came to his house, she liked to rummage through Xingxing's pockets and take away his money, saying that she was keeping it for him. He
also didn't like living in Gangzi's house. Gangzi's mother would hide all the delicious food she made, and wait for him to go out to play or fall asleep before taking it out to eat.
He likes living in Mengmeng's house the most. Mengmeng's mother is the most gentle. She will make new clothes for him and always give him a portion of the food she prepares for Mengmeng.
Xingxing was still counting on his fingers, "Xiaohong's mother is also very good. She will make sugar fried cakes for me to eat, but she always adds a sentence "Poor child!" before giving me food, so I don't want to eat it."
Lin Wanxia felt sour and soft in her heart, and hugged him in her arms, "In the future, follow me! I will never let you feel like a dependent again."
"No way!" Xingxing refused without thinking.
Lin Wanxia: "..."
You have no conscience!
"Aunt Xia Xia, don't be sad. I like you very much, but I like dad more. I will go back with dad in the future."
Lin Wanxia didn't think much about it. She just thought that Xingxing meant that they would go back to their hometown together when Jiang Sinian returned to the north. "Okay! Then before you go back, don't worry and follow your sister!"
She accepted Xingxing's kindness but didn't ask for her money.
Although it is said that children of this generation mature early, and three-year-olds are more mature than many five- and six-year-olds, they are still children after all. No matter how poor
Lin Wanxia is, she cannot let a three-year-old child support himself.
***
Another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Lin Wanxia's fishing skills are getting better and better, and she can catch dozens of kilograms of fish a day at most.
Although the seafood caught is of different species and sizes, sometimes she can earn dozens of yuan a day, and sometimes she can earn only a few yuan a day, but it is enough for Lin Wanxia and her son to eat and drink well, and there is still a little left over.
Lin Wanxia also found an unexpected surprise.
Her gold finger upgraded very slowly, and she only unlocked two kinds of marine creatures that can be summoned, but she accidentally discovered that she can sense the sea.
If the sea is compared to a person, she is like a cell in the sea, swimming in the sea, but can clearly sense everything in the sea, just like she can sense the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of a person.
Recently, she can even vaguely sense where there are schools of fish.
Lin Wanxia is very happy. If she continues like this, she will be rich soon.
However, happiness turns to sorrow, and bad things come to her door first.
Lin Youzhi brought Lin Gensheng and others to the door.
