I became a poor little sophora japonica in the courtyard

Chapter 7 The Deaf Old Lady Comes to the Door

When Lou Xiao'e saw the little girl, she was wearing tattered clothes and shivering from the cold. She had a thin body and a pair of big eyes on her sallow face. She immediately felt sympathy for her.

"Your name is Huaihua, right? Come in quickly, I'll treat you to something delicious."

Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand to push open the door of her house, and she turned around to invite the little girl in. She saw the little girl staggering with her legs, as if she was about to fall at any time.

She quickly bent down and picked up the little girl. The little girl was so light that she looked like a bunch of bones.

Lou Xiao'e held her and closed the door before entering the house. Suddenly, she noticed a raised palm mark on the right cheek of the little girl.

"Tell your aunt, who hit you?" Lou Xiao'e frowned and asked Xiao Huaihua softly.

"I was hit by my brother. He wanted the cake in my hand and beat me if I didn't give it to him." Jingyi can only pretend to be a child to gain sympathy.

"Poor little Sophora japonica. Sit here for a while. I'll get you something delicious."

Lou Xiao'e couldn't help with the household chores of hitting her sister with a stick. She put Xiao Huaihua on the sofa, found a cup, and poured half a cup of malted milk. Then she went to the inner room and took out a piece of Beijing Eight Pieces.

"Eat it! Try it and see if it tastes good."

Jingyi lowered her head and took a sip of the sweet malted milk. The aroma of malt and milk intertwined and soaked her throat. It was indeed a nourishing magic weapon of this era.

"Auntie Lou, what is this? It's delicious." He had no choice but to imitate the voice of four-year-old Xiao Huaihua.

"This is malted milk. Try this Beijing Eight Delicacy." Lou Xiao'e greeted her attentively. Seeing Xiao Huaihua eating like a squirrel, she was happier than anyone else who was eating.

This Jing Ba Jian is like a five-nut mooncake. Jingyi took a bite of Jing Ba Jian and a bite of malted milk. They were quickly finished.

"Xiao Huaihua, are you full?" Seeing her eating with such relish, Lou Xiao'e felt hungry herself.

Jingyi burped and smiled awkwardly at Lou Xiaoe. "Is this what it feels like to be full? My stomach feels so good."

Lou Xiao'e burst into tears all of a sudden. She hugged Xiao Huaihua tightly in her arms, unwilling to let go for a long time.

Poor little guy! He has never felt the taste of a full stomach. He wanted a child after getting married, but he couldn't have one. But his Jia family treated the child so badly!

Even in such a cold weather, this little Huaihua was still wearing ragged clothes, and her fingers were frozen into carrots. Her skinny body and dry, yellow and sparse hair showed that she was malnourished.

After a long while, Lou Xiao'e let go of the little person in her arms and said to her softly, "When Huaihua is hungry in the future, come to my place. There are many delicious foods at my house!"

"Thank you, Aunt Lou! Does Aunt Lou need anyone to do chores at home? I can sweep the floor and wipe the table."

"Auntie doesn't need you to work. As long as you come and talk to me often, I like having children at home the most."

Lou Xiao'e was speaking from her heart! Now, the child has become a major concern for her. She and Xu Damao have been married for almost five years, and if she works hard, the child will be as big as the little girl in front of her.

There was a knock on the door, and Lou Xiao'e hurried over to open it. Jingyi turned her head and saw an old lady with gray hair and a shriveled mouth standing at the door, leaning on a cane.

"Please come in, old lady! You haven't come to chat for two days." Lou Xiao'e walked quickly forward and helped the old lady into the house.

As soon as the old lady entered the room, she found the little girl sitting on the sofa with her feet in the air.

"Isn't this Little Sophora japonica from the Jia family? Why did she come to your house?" The old lady asked Lou Xiao'e with narrowed eyes.

"Oh! Just now I saw that the little girl was wearing thin clothes, so I asked her to come in to warm up."

Lou Xiao'e explained casually. She went into the kitchen and made a cup of Jasmine Snow for the old lady, then placed the cup on the coffee table.

"Little girl, move aside."

The old lady looked at Xiao Huaihua and spoke. Jingyi looked around. This was a three-person leather sofa that could accommodate people on both sides, but the old lady asked her to move out.

Jingyi moved herself to the armrest of the sofa, and the old lady sat down, occupying the other armrest, leaving a large space in the middle. From this, it can be seen that the old lady disliked this little girl.

Lou Xiao'e didn't care at all. She sat down between the two of them and stretched out her arms to hug Xiao Huaihua.

The old lady took a sip of tea and started to chat with Lou Xiao'e. The two adults were chatting, and Jingyi couldn't get a word in. She looked around and found that the date on the calendar hanging in Lou Xiao'e's main room was November 5, 1965.

When she first entered the backyard, she saw Lou Xiao'e feeding chickens, which meant that the plot had not yet begun. But since the old hen was already there, it should not be long before the plot began.

Sooner or later, I will leave this place. The story here has nothing to do with me. If I want to change the plot, it is to help Aunt Lou change her fate. When I grow up and have the ability, I will help Sister Xiaodang. The rest has nothing to do with me.

"It's getting colder and colder. I have a younger relative who doesn't have a wife to help him take care of things, and he's still wearing sandals. I, an old woman, don't have the strength to go out. Xiao'e, I want to ask you for a favor."

Jingyi was daydreaming when she heard two people chatting on the other end. The old lady suddenly changed the subject and talked about her younger relatives.

Is this the deaf old lady? She is creating conditions for Sha Zhu. Jingyi immediately thought of the scene where Lou Xiao'e bought shoes for Sha Zhu.

"Why are you being so polite, old lady? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

Lou Xiao'e refilled the deaf old lady's teacup with water. She was kind-hearted and it was her duty to help the lonely old lady.

"I want you to buy me a pair of cotton shoes, size 44. I'll give you the money!"

After the deaf old lady finished speaking, she pretended to reach into her pocket to feel for money, but was stopped by Lou Xiao'e.

"Hey! It's not easy for you. Consider these shoes as my gift to you!"

After hearing this, the deaf old lady immediately smiled. "Then I would like to thank Xiao'e."

Seeing her acting so pretentiously, Jingyi secretly made a vomiting gesture. She couldn't stand it any longer! If the deaf old lady didn't leave, she would be invisible here, and she couldn't even talk to Aunt Lou.

She looked at the clock on the table and saw that it was already past three in the afternoon. Xiaodang should be waking up soon! If she couldn't see him, she would go out to look for him anxiously.

Thinking of this, Jingyi pulled Lou Xiao'e's arm and told her that she wanted to go home.

Lou Xiao'e reached out and carried her off the sofa, and opened the door for her. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell her to remember Aunt Lou's words, Aunt Lou welcomes Xiao Huaihua to come often.

"Xiao'e, everyone in the Jia family in the Central Courtyard is a bad person. You should never have anything to do with them. They are like a dog-skin plaster. Once they get on you, you can't get rid of them."

After seeing Xiao Huaihua leave, Lou Xiao'e closed the door and came back, and the deaf old lady immediately started to scold her.

"How could that be possible? I just felt sorry for the little girl and wanted to do my best to help her. It has nothing to do with the adults in their family!" Lou Xiao'e did not agree with the deaf old lady's statement, but did not refute her either.

"There are so many poor people out there, can you take care of them all?" the deaf old lady pouted.

Your family is rich, but you have to see whether it is worthwhile to help others. You have good food and drink to give to those irrelevant people, it is better to honor me, an old lady.

Jingyi stood at the door for a while, and then she heard the deaf old lady inside slandering her. This old woman is too cunning! She must be more careful with her in the future.

She walked towards the middle courtyard with her neck shrunk. Now she had to be careful all the time and not let herself be exposed. She tried not to speak, and if she did, she would imitate the tone of a four-year-old child.

I am no longer Jingyi. I am Sophora japonica! I am Sophora japonica! I am Sophora japonica! I must repeat this important thing three times.
