Zai Zai Grocery Store

"Then what do you say about Lin Dong?"

"Although he calls our dad grandpa, his surname is not really Lin. Now that dad is gone, can't we let us support him for the rest of his life? We also have sons and daughters, so how can we have the strength to support him?"

"Then, why not send him to the orphanage."

"This... Dad knows, doesn't he?"

"Dad has been dead for half a year! Where can I find out?"

"..."

Across the wall, these words of uncles and aunts spread into Lin Dong's ears verbatim. Although he was only five years old, he had a vague feeling that these adults didn't like him and regarded him as a burden, and didn't want to He was a little sad to have him, and couldn't help thinking in his heart——

——If only, if only I had parents too.

But he didn't.

He is a child picked up by my grandfather on the side of the road. It was winter when he was picked up, so I named him Dong—Lin Dong.

Lin Dong lived with his grandfather for three years, and his grandfather passed away. His uncles and aunts saw him as pitiful and took turns to adopt him for a while, but they were not related by blood. They got tired of raising him and gradually regarded him as a burden. He secretly wanted to get rid of him, but he couldn't do it too ruthlessly, causing people to talk, so they got together to find a way.

Several people discussed and discussed, and it seems that the discussion has reached a result:

"Then send him to Lihua."

"Is Lihua okay? Lihua has a bad temper, and she has a son."

"What's wrong with having a son? I also have a son. Don't forget, she was also picked up by her father. Like Lin Dong, she was picked up by the roadside. She should be sympathetic to each other. Besides, she has not reported that her father has raised her for so many years. Our kindness, letting her raise Lin Dong this time solves our difficulties, and it happens to be repaying Dad's kindness of raising her, and it's cheaper for her."

"The money that dad left..."

"What money? No money! Dad didn't keep any money! That's it!"

"..."

At this time, the door of the room opened, and Lin Dong, who was obediently sitting on the sofa, turned his head and saw the second uncle walking out with a smile.

"Lin Dong, are you hungry?" Second Uncle said kindly.

Lin Dong shook his head, he was not hungry at all.

The second uncle rubbed his hands and said, "I'm not hungry, then the second uncle will take you to play with Aunt Lihua, okay?"

Lin Dong didn't speak, but looked at the second uncle with clear and clean eyes, which made him feel a little guilty.The second uncle avoided Lin Dong's gaze and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to Aunt Lihua's house for some delicious food."

Lin Dong sat without moving, his head drooping slightly.

The second uncle bent down to pick him up, asked the second aunt to pack his luggage, and then left the house with him in his arms. The second uncle kept talking to him along the way.

Since his grandfather passed away, Lin Dong hadn't spoken much. Although he didn't understand many things, he could always sense the sincerity and hypocrisy of adults. Get on the bus again.

Finally the bus stopped in front of a small town.

"We're in town." The second uncle said with relief, "Let's go."

The second uncle stretched out his hand to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong stared at the second uncle's big hand for a while, then hesitatingly stretched out his small hand.

The second uncle smiled and held Lin Dong's little hand, and walked into Jinli Town.

Jinli Town is the same as most small towns, with high and low houses criss-crossing, and uneven trees dotted at random, walking in it is like walking in another world outside the big city.

Lin Dong followed his second uncle at the door of a XX grocery store. XX was because the spray-painted door was too old and he could not read his words clearly. The second uncle replaced it with "XX" in his heart, but Lin Dong didn't know a single word. .

His eyes moved down from the door, and he saw that the two front rooms were full of sundries, cosmetic mirrors, washing powder, cleaning balls, milk and toilet paper, etc. There were bottles and cans on the ground outside the door. same.

While looking at the grocery store, a man and a woman suddenly staggered out of the store, turned around and yelled at the store: "Why are you still swearing at you!"

As soon as the roar fell, a woman with slightly dark skin and a strong figure came out of the store, pointing at the couple with one hand on her hips and the other, cursing: "I'll just scold you, what's the matter? Do you want to fight? My wife will accompany you!"

The woman immediately rolled up her sleeves.

The men and women ran away in fright.

The woman didn't chase after her, she yelled at the ground, and cursed: "I've opened a grocery store like me, and you still come here to find work, you're so dark!"

After the woman finished cursing, she realized that there was someone next to the store. She turned her head and saw the second uncle standing on the road, and Xiao Lindong next to the second uncle.

Lin Dong met the woman's eyes and immediately moved two small steps towards the second uncle, hiding beside the second uncle's legs.

The second uncle looked at the woman, then smiled and called, "Lihua."

Lin Lihua was slightly startled: "Second brother."

"Hey!" The second uncle agreed with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Lihua's tone was stiff.

"It's something." Second Uncle touched Lin Dong's head subconsciously.

Lin Lihua looked wary: "What's the matter?"

"Come and see you." The second uncle smiled.

Lin Lihua threw the words directly: "Say what you have to say."

The second uncle's smile slowly narrowed, and his face turned sad: "No, Dad is gone, and our brothers and sisters have nowhere to go. It's very uncomfortable, especially since Lin Dong has no one to take care of him, so-- —”

"Let me take care of you?" Lin Lihua interrupted displeasedly: "I knew you came to see me for no good, and how many brothers and sisters are here to plot against me again?"

Yes, again.

Eight years ago, Lin Lihua had a beautiful relationship, but her third sister forcibly snatched it away. When she was arguing with her third sister, the whole family blamed her, and she married here in a fit of anger.

She has a backbone. Since then, she has had little contact with the Lin family, and she just doesn't want to get entangled with them anymore.Now that the old man picked up the child, they feel that they are cumbersome, and they want to throw it to her. What do they think of her?

The second uncle quickly said: "It's nothing, you are so smart, how can you count on you. Besides, doesn't dad love you the most? Doesn't he? You know it yourself."

When it came to the old man, Lin Lihua was silent. At that time, the old man was indeed on her side, and it was the old man who raised her, and she was always grateful.

"No, Lin Dong was also picked up by Dad on the side of the road. Dad loved Lin Dong the most when he was alive. Do you have the heart to watch Lin Dong being sent to the orphanage? Dad is so sad to see it in the sky, isn't it?"

Lin Lihua couldn't help turning her eyes to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong shrank back in fright.

The second uncle said: "When Dad was leaving, he and you were the most worried about him. Dad told him every day that when he grows up, he will love you as an aunt."

Hearing this, Lin Lihua's eyes flickered slightly.

Seeing that Lin Lihua was a little loose, knowing that the matter was about to be completed, the second uncle brought out the old man again, playing the family card, and then said: "Lihua, Lin Dong will let you go here, ah, I'm still busy , let’s go first.”

The second uncle shook off Lin Dong's little hand that was pulling the hem of his clothes as if his butt was on fire, and strode away.

Uncle!

Lin Dong stepped up his uncle to chase after him.

Seeing that Lin Dong was chasing him, the second uncle immediately ran up, fearing that Lin Dong would stick to him and would not be able to shake him off.

He runs ahead.

Lin Dong chased after him. After all, he had short legs. When he ran to the side of the road, he saw a crowd of strangers, and he couldn't find the second uncle.

He looked at the crowd in bewilderment.

Second Uncle, Second Uncle and the others left him behind.
