From abandoned baby to CEO

Chapter 175 The boy I picked up on the way home

Seeing the dark figure next to the trash can, Sun Xue couldn't help but be startled. Could it be Hu Zi?

Sun Xue hurriedly ran towards the shadow, shouting as he ran: "Huzi! Huzi!"

The black figure who was lying on the trash can heard Sun Xue's shout and started running.

"Hey!"

Something tied the black shadow's feet, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

Sun Xue ran to the black shadow, and through the moonlight, she could see clearly what the black shadow looked like. It turned out to be a little boy of about ten years old.

The boy's clothes were in tatters, stained with dry wheat straw, his hair was stuck together like a piece of felt, and he was wearing a pair of tattered adult leather shoes, with one shoe still hanging on the side. In his hand was a half moldy bun that he had just picked up from the trash can.

"Get up! Don't be afraid. Why are you running? My sister is not a bad person!"

Sun Xue leaned down and whispered to the boy.

The boy looked up and down at Sun Xue in front of him with a pair of big, frightened eyes.

"Little brother, where is your family? Why are you alone?"

The boy did not answer Sun Xue's words. He got up, picked up his shoes on the ground, patted the dirt on his body and prepared to leave.

"Little brother, where are you going?"

Sun Xue asked distressedly. Judging from the boy's appearance, something must have happened. Otherwise, how could a normal child pick up food in the trash can?

The boy looked back at Sun Xue and continued walking forward. Only then did Sun Xue notice that the boy was lame in one leg and was limping hard.

"Little brother, wait a moment!"

Sun Xue called out and was about to walk over. When the boy heard Sun Xue's words, he suddenly quickened his pace and started running limpingly.

However, Sun Xue soon caught up with the boy. Sun Xue grabbed the boy's arm: "Why are you running? I told you that my sister is not a bad person!"

Sun Xue said a little angry.

"where do you live?"

The boy said nothing, took his arm away from Sun Xue's hand, and looked at Sun Xue warily.

"Is he mute?" Sun Xue couldn't help but have this question in his mind.

"You haven't eaten, have you? Throw away the steamed buns in your hands. Sister, please take you home!"

With that said, Sun Xue took the boy's hand and left.

The boy immediately began to resist, and subconsciously stepped back, trying to free his hand from Sun Xue's hand.

Sun Xue held on to the boy's hand tightly, dragging the boy forward.

The boy still wanted to break free, but Sun Xuehui came up immediately. She threw the boy's hand away and shouted: "I told you I'm not a bad person, so why don't you leave? Then you just wait for the bad guys to catch you!"

Sun Xue looked at the boy angrily. She thought the boy was pitiful and wanted to take him home, but she didn't expect the boy to be so stubborn.

"I'm leaving!"

Sun Xue turned around and looked like she was about to leave.

"elder sister!"

The boy suddenly shouted.

Sun Xue turned around and looked at the boy with confusion: So he can talk?

"Let's go! Why are you standing there?"

Sun Xue reached out to the boy.

The boy hesitated for a moment, then came over and took Sun Xue's hand.

"Throw away the steamed bun in your hand! Why are you still holding it?"

The boy looked at Sun Xue and threw away half of the bun in his hand with some reluctance.

Sun Xue was really angry and funny. Unexpectedly, the boy was still holding the half piece of moldy steamed bun in his hand.

Sun Xue thought about it and couldn't help but feel sad. The boy must be hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have forgotten to take the buns he picked up from the trash can when he ran away.

You can imagine how important this half piece of moldy steamed bun is to him.

Sun Xue couldn't help but think of Huzi, wondering if Huzi was like this boy, making a living by picking up food from trash cans.

Sun Xue took the boy to a noodle shop near the rental house and ordered two bowls of fried noodles.

After the noodles arrived, the boy ate cautiously at first, raising his eyes to secretly observe Sun Xue's expression while eating.

"Are you hungry? Eat more! If it's not enough, I'll ask you for another bowl."

Sun Xue said to the boy with a smile.

The boy smiled sheepishly, and then started eating in big mouthfuls. Soon, a large bowl of noodles was swept away by him.

Seeing the boy gobbling up the noodles, Sun Xue couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the boy. He must be starving.

"Are you full? Sister, can I have another bowl for you?"

"Eat enough, sister."

The boy wiped the oil on his mouth with satisfaction and smiled sheepishly.

After eating, Sun Xue packed a noodle for Old Man Sun, walked out of the noodle shop and took the boy to the rental house.

The two came to the yard, but the boy stopped at the door of the house and hesitated before entering the house.

"come in!"

Sun Xue smiled and waved to the boy.

"Xue'er, have you found Huzi?"

Old man Sun, who was lying on the bed, heard Sun Xue's voice, climbed up from the bed and asked excitedly.

"No, Grandpa. On the way back, I saw a boy looking for food next to the trash can. I thought he was pitiful, so I brought him back."

Sun Xue said, taking the boy's hand and entering the house.

Old Man Sun looked up and down at the ragged boy standing on the ground and asked, "Where are you from? Where is your family?"

The boy looked at Old Man Sun warily and did not answer.

"Hey! Another poor child! Look at him like this! Xue'er, please boil some hot water and help him wash his face."

Old man Sun shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"Grandpa, are you feeling better from your cold? I brought you some noodles. Eat it while it's hot. I'll boil water."

"Xue'er, grandpa just doesn't have any energy or appetite. Have you and the child eaten?"

"Grandpa, we just ate. Eat quickly. Even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat. How can you do it without eating?

By the way, grandpa, I have good news for you. Today I went to the bungalows around here to look for Hu Zi. An old woman and an uncle told me that they had seen Hu Zi. Hu Zi must not have gone far. I am sure he is nearby. I will look for him tomorrow. "

"Really? Xue'er. Have they all seen Hu Zi?"

This news suddenly made Old Man Sun excited again.

"Yeah, grandpa. I'm sure what they saw must be Hu Zi."

After hearing what Sun Xue said, Old Man Sun felt he had an appetite for food.

After a while, the water was boiled. Sun Xue brought a basin, mixed it with hot water, and brought a small stool.

"Come here, sit on the stool, and my sister will help you wash your hair."

The boy had been standing nervously on the ground since he entered the house, without saying a word. He had been vigilantly observing every move of Sun Xue and Old Man Sun in the house.

Hearing Sun Xue's words, he came over and sat on the stool uneasily.

It seemed that the boy had not washed his hair for a long time. The sticky hair was mixed with dead grass and rotten leaves, and his hair also exuded a pungent smell.

Sun Xue used two large basins of water and a lot of washing powder to wash the boy's hair clean.
