Cannon Fodder Through Books

Chapter 6 Bad Places
She swung the cloth bag, walked through several dilapidated alleys, and finally returned to the heroine's community.

However, after just a hasty glance, he took a deep breath.

These are a few low-rise bungalows, the walls are covered with black paint that has been accumulated over the years, and creepers are thickly attached to them, making them green.

A thick layer of dust had also grown on the intricate wire sheaths, which trembled on top of her head in the wind.

She lowered her head again, looking at the potholes on the ground, and the inexplicably missing manhole cover, and almost didn't know how to get her foot down.

Xi Xiao knew that the heroine was poor and miserable, and she was an accidental "Cinderella".

The heroine's parents were unfortunately killed in a construction accident in her first year of junior high school, but the project manager only paid them a small amount of compensation, and declared bankruptcy, and the final payment was never settled.

So for the past three years, the hostess can only live with her half-blind grandma on a subsistence allowance of several hundred yuan a month.

If no international high school extended an olive branch to her, she probably would have dropped out of school.

After finally walking to the first floor of the third building, Xi Xiao twisted the key and opened the door.

"Xiao Xiao?"

The voice of the old man came from the inner bed.

"Yes, grandma."

She casually threw the cloth bag onto the table that could never be wiped clean, and rolled up her sleeves.

The hostess returns to her daily homework - cooking.

Fortunately, although Xi Xiao was born in a well-to-do family, her parents were keen on cultivating her independence.

So cooking is a trivial matter to her.

She stepped into Yongxiao's kitchen with half a leg, and suddenly thought of the part in the book that impressed her deeply.

【She was very hungry, so she walked to the kitchen with vain steps and opened the lid of the rice cooker. In an instant, countless cockroaches scattered from behind the rice cooker along the bare wall. 】

Xi Xiao's scalp felt numb all of a sudden.

She is not afraid of cockroaches, she just can't stand all kinds of insects with many legs, such as cockroaches, spiders and caterpillars.

So she stopped and held on to the door, her body was a little stiff.

"Xiaoxiao, you finally don't have to work part-time. You must be very tired. Let grandma do it tonight."

The old man felt over, cautiously, and walked smoothly.

"But your eyes"

"It's okay, Xiaoxiao, grandma told you, my eyeballs seem to have improved a lot today, and I can probably see things clearly."

There was a faint light in the old man's cloudy eyes, and there was joy on his face.

"Maybe in this way, you won't have to spend so much money on medicine anymore."

Xi Xiao's heart ached when she heard that, and she helped her out directly: "It's okay, I'm not tired, grandma, your eyes are better after a long time, you should rest more."

As Cinderella, she will have a hard life to live in the future, a few cockroaches are nothing!
The old man had no choice but to sit on a chair and watch his precious granddaughter busy in the kitchen, but it seemed that her movements were not as skillful as before.

An hour later, a mung bean meat porridge finally came out of the oven, and the taste was not bad.

While eating, Xi Xiao casually chatted with her about some interesting things about other people.

The old man was so amused that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Oh, Xiao Xiao, you really made grandma happy today."

Xi Xiao tried to smile sweetly, "I'll talk about more interesting things from now on, okay?"

The old man nodded, suddenly grabbed his nose and choked his throat, "It's really hard for you."

She quickly covered the old man's withered hand and comforted him repeatedly, and the old man went back to his room to rest.

Elderly people, just like children, need to be coaxed more.

After washing the dishes, Xi Xiao entered her small room imposingly, pulled the cord of the desk lamp, and clapped her hands on a pile of exercise books.
