918, little Lily
It was getting dark, the lights were on in the square, the crowds were getting more and more, and there was an endless stream of people going out for shopping and walking in the evening.
There was a Paramelari by the square, with Tang Shuang and Candy staying inside.
Tang Shuang was on the phone with Sister Xiangning, explaining that she would not go home for dinner tonight and would be out with Candy.
Tangtang'er leaned close to the phone and said loudly: "If you don't want to eat, mom, the Lun family and Xiaoshuang will go to see the little sister. The little sister's grandma is sick, so let's go see her."
Tang Shuang explained to Huang Xiangning, and Huang Xiangning expressed his understanding and asked them to go home as soon as possible after seeing the person.
"Mom agreed, we can stay until 8 o'clock in the evening and go home." Tang Shuang put away her phone and said to Candy.
"Mom is so kind. Sister Xiangning is such a good mother."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Hehehe~"
"You can't shout like that."
"You're already calling me that. The Lun family just heard you calling me mom!"
"...emmmmm~"
"Xiaoshuang can shout, why can't Candy?"
"...Because my brother is the only king in this world, but you are not!"
"..."
"Don't shout like that. Not only will you be miserable, but your brother will also suffer along with you. Don't shout."
Tangtang's little mouth curled up, neither saying good nor bad.
Tang Shuang: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
Candy shook her head, saying she wasn't hungry now, but she just wanted to eat ice cream, hehe.
Tang Shuang: "When you get home, don't say that your brother bought you ice cream, otherwise we will be in trouble."
Tangtang'er thought for a while and said in a loud voice: "Why are we so miserable? This is miserable and that is miserable. Mom will not kill the baby. Dad will catch the Lun family, but he will not kill the Lun family."
But it will kill me, Tang Shuang thought, and said: "Child, you are too naive. The world is not as simple as you think. When you are facing these things, you will find that the world is so cruel. So,
Please put away your innocence."
Tangtang'er looked at him blankly, not knowing what this little Shuangzi was talking about. She couldn't understand it at all. She curled her lips and adjusted the clothes for the rag doll in her arms.
The two of them were chatting in the car, seeing that the last ray of the sunset had disappeared, and the uncle who drove the sprinkler truck hadn't come back yet. Tang Shuang couldn't help but think about the worst, people might not stop coming.
In the afternoon, Tang Shuang learned from the other party that her little sister's grandmother was sick and was hospitalized, and also learned the address of her home. However, the area was a village in the city with crisscrossed alleys, so it was difficult to find the other party even if she knew the address, so the other party agreed to take her with her.
Tang Shuang went over, just to wait until he got off work.
Tang Shuang and Tangtang'er waited here for an hour. The other party left with the water truck and never showed up again. Seeing that it was getting very late, they called the other party, but no one answered. After a while, they heard "There is only a mother in the world."
OK” the bell rings.
Candy pointed to the sprinkler in front of her in surprise and said, "The big car chasing Candy is here."
Last year, she was chased all the way by a sprinkler while riding a scooter, and she still remembers it.
It was indeed the other party.
"You are really still waiting here. I thought you would have left. Come on, follow my car."
"You lead the way!"
Tang Shuang drove away following the water sprinkler truck and came to an urban village in the east of Guangdong City. Cars could not enter, so she got off the car and walked.
Tang Shuang was holding Candy and carrying a big bag containing clothes and various foods.
The village in the city is a bit messy and the lights are dim.
Brother Sprinkle walked in front, and Tang Shuang led Candy behind. The three of them walked through small alleys. Without someone to lead the way, they would not be able to find the direction at all.
On the way, Tang Shuang asked Spishui's eldest brother, Lao Li, about the situation at his family.
It turns out that Lao Li has a son who is still alive, but his wife ran away.
There is no other reason. The man likes to gamble, does not work well, is addicted to gambling, and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions. The woman gave up and one day she wanted to take her daughter and run away secretly, but she failed, so her daughter stayed behind and she left alone.
Brother Sprinkle said bitterly: "That kid doesn't look for a job and just hangs around all day long. Lao Li has been unlucky for many lifetimes. Being such a useless father, he has no one to support him in his old age, and he also has to support a large family.
The days go by and the days get harder and harder..."
He rambled on, and it seemed that he had dealt with Lao Li's son before and couldn't stand it.
After walking for a while, Tang Shuang looked down at Candy, who was walking with a dull head, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and asked: "Brother, will you carry me on my back?"
Tangtang'er shook his head: "No, the Lun family can leave!"
Brother Sprinkle turned around and said with a smile: "What a sensible little girl."
Tangtang'er nodded and said unceremoniously: "The Lun family is still very strong."
"Haha, you are indeed very strong." Brother Spishui said to Tang Shuang, "Handsome guy, have I seen you somewhere? I always feel you look familiar."
Tang Shuang: "I have a nice face. Many people say they seem to have seen me."
"Ring ring ring..."
The ringing of a bicycle bell came from the alley on the right, and Lao Li rode a tricycle over. There was a little girl sitting in the carriage of the tricycle, wearing a hoodie and holding an insulated lunch box in both hands. The road was rough.
It was flat, the tricycle was shaking here and there, and the little girl held the insulated lunch box tightly in her arms to prevent it from spilling.
Brother Sprinkler greeted the other party and explained his intention.
Lao Li no longer remembered Tang Shuang, but the little sister in the carriage remembered it. She happily leaned out from behind her grandfather and looked at the candy at Tang Shuang's feet: "It's Tang Tang! Grandpa, it's Tang Shuang."
Sugar is here~Tang Tang——"
Candy also waved happily: "Little Lily~ha, so you are here, I finally found you."
After waiting all afternoon, I finally found the person.
Tangtang'er held Tang Shuang's hand and approached, and the two little girls chatted enthusiastically. Tang Shuang greeted Little Lily's grandfather. After Tang Shuang said it, the other party also remembered that he had delivered meals before and then again.
clothing.
"Are you going out?" Tang Shuang asked.
Lao Li said that his wife was hospitalized and now he was going to deliver food.
Brother Sprinkler said: "Lao Li, go back later. I've been waiting all afternoon to find you. It's not easy to come here. Please come and sit at home and have a cup of hot water."
"Yes, yes, come and sit at my house."
Unfortunately, they had to go to the hospital to deliver food to someone, otherwise Tang Shuang would have gone home to sit there, but for now, forget it. Tang Shuang declined politely and asked Candy to give the things to her little sister without wasting their time.
"How can this work? This can't work. When you come here, you must come and sit at home. The house is simple, but it's still clean." Lao Li kept mumbling and invited Tang Shuang and Guangtang'er to go and sit at his house.
Little Lily also invited Candy to sit at her home. Candy said, "Xiao Shuang, let's go to Little Lily's house to play."
Brother Spishui also persuaded Tang Shuang to go in and sit down. He came here all the time. After waiting for so long, he didn't care about the time.
So the tricycle returned to Lao Li's home. The environment was not as bad as expected. It was a self-built two-story building with the original appearance of red bricks, as if the construction had stopped in the middle.
When I entered the home, I found that the inside was the same as the outside, with the original red brick look, without any painting or decoration.
The house is clean because it has only four walls.
Brother Sprinkle asked: "Where is Xiao Li? Are you gambling again?"
Lao Li said in a low voice: "Don't mention him."
He poured a cup of hot water for Tang Shuang and Brother Splash, and another cup for Candy.
The cup was a big porcelain vat. Candy took it curiously, looked at it, and drank it in one gulp.
After drinking enough, Cantang put down the cup and said with a smile to Little Lily: "What a sweet water, it tastes really good."
Little Lily said: "This is the brown sugar made by my grandma. It's so sweet."
Candy licked her lips and nodded: "It's so sweet, I want to drink it again."
As he said that, he would pick up the big porcelain vat and fill it again.
"Hey, don't drink if you're not thirsty. Can your stomach handle it?" Tang Shuang reminded.
Tangtang'er seemed to realize that she had a small belly. She touched it and smiled at Tang Shuang: "I can't stand it."
