Chapter 38 Huaduzi and Stray Dogs
"Teacher Otanabe, I bought milk and bread. Is it okay to give Hua Duzi a portion?"
Higashino Hirosawa thought for a while and said.
He came back late today, and after picking up Chiwa-chan, he planned to buy some daily props and clothes. On the way to the kindergarten, he bought bread and milk.
Hua'er Kindergarten only provides lunch, not dinner. I bought bread and milk because I didn't want Xiao Qianhe to go hungry.
Huaduzi left so late, I must have been hungry by then.
She looks so thin, probably because she is often hungry.
Higashino Hirosawa also suffered from hunger when he was a child. Although unlike Huatoko, it was only a few times, but he still remembered it deeply.
If you don't know him, that's fine. Now that you know, Hua Duzi is playing with Xiao Qianhe, so if you can help a little, please help a little.
"Yes, yes, but does it really matter?"
Teacher Odanabe understood what Higashino Hirosawa meant, but she knew that Higashino Hirosawa also had no money, so she asked worriedly.
"It's okay. My work has been going very well recently. Teacher, you don't have to worry."
Higashino Hirosawa said with a smile.
"That's good, Higashikata-kun, you are so gentle."
Teacher Otanabe was moved and said that he was worried about other people's children going hungry despite working so hard. It is rare to find such a gentle person like Higashino-kun!
It's a pity that he already has children at a young age and is a bit poor.
Otherwise, she might even have a heart attack.
"Chiwa, give this to Kadoko."
Xiao Qianhe ran over happily. Higashino Hirosawa packed a carton of milk and a loaf of bread in a plastic bag and asked Xiao Qianhe to take it to Huaduzi.
"Hua~zi~, here you go!"
Under Higashino Hirosawa's words and gestures, it took Xiaoqianhe a little time to understand Higashino Hirosawa's meaning.
Then she ran back to Huaduzi with milk and bread in her hands and handed them to her with both hands.
Hua Duzi was stunned, looking at the bread and milk, a little at a loss.
"Huaduzi, take it and say thank you to Brother Dongye."
Teacher Otanabe said.
Huaduzi looked over and saw Higashino Hirosawa nodded.
"Thank you, brother."
She hesitated for a moment before taking it, and then weakly thanked her.
"Okay, Qianhe, bid farewell to Hua Duzi."
Higashino Hirosawa asked Chiwa to wave goodbye and took her out of the kindergarten.
Huaduzi didn't eat the bread and milk. She just carefully collected the bread and milk and hid them in her little schoolbag.
When Higashino Hirosawa picked up Chiwa-chan, there were only three or four children left in the classroom, and soon they were picked up one after another by their parents who were off work.
Huaduzi was the only one left in the classroom, and she didn't react strangely. She only occasionally looked at the door of the classroom, and then continued to play with the building blocks with her head lowered.
It was getting dark, and at around seven o'clock, a fashionably dressed young woman hurried into the kindergarten, apologizing to the kindergarten teacher all the way.
"Mother!"
Seeing the young woman, Hua Duzi happily ran over with her small schoolbag in hand.
"Teacher, I'm very sorry for causing you trouble again."
Imao Izumi apologized again and then took Hua Duzi's hand out of the kindergarten.
"Mom, bread and milk, here you go!"
After leaving the kindergarten for a while, Huatoko broke free from Imao Izumi's hand, took out bread and milk from her small school bag, held it up in front of Imao Izumi, and said happily in a crisp voice.
"Huaduzi, where did you come from? You didn't get it from your classmates, did you?"
Imao Izumi was stunned for a moment, then asked hurriedly.
"No, it was Qianhe's father who gave it to me. I also thanked him."
Huaduzi said happily.
"That's it, that's good. Chiwa-chan, she's grown up too. Since she gave it to you, just eat the flower."
Imao Izumi recalled the figure of a cute little girl.
There was also a time when she picked up someone earlier than Higashino Hirosawa. At that time, Huatoko was playing with a little girl who looked very young, but was cute and well-behaved.
"I'm not hungry, mom, you eat!"
Hua Duzi shook his head.
Is she not hungry?
You're so thin from hunger, so why don't you say you're not hungry?
Looking at Huaduzi's thin body, tears suddenly flew out of Imao Izumi's eyes, and she hugged Huaduzi and cried bitterly.
"Mom, what's wrong? Did Huaduzi do something wrong?"
Huaduzi panicked and asked quickly.
"No, no, Huaduzi, you did a good job. Let's eat bread. Can each of us eat half?"
Imao Izumi wiped her tears, raised her head, and then said to Kadoko with a smile.
"good!"
Huaduzi said happily.
…
After taking Chiwa-chan out of the kindergarten, Higashino Hirosawa slowly fed Chiwa-chan milk and bread on the road.
After spending some time, Higashino Hirosawa came to the largest comprehensive shopping supermarket nearby.
After putting Chiwa-chan in the shopping cart and sitting there, Chiwa-chan suddenly screamed with joy.
Higashino Hirosawa first went to the clothing store on the third floor and bought three sets of children's clothing in various colors for Chiwa-chan.
In the kindergarten, he saw that the older children would bring a small schoolbag that could hold toys. Higashino Hirosawa also bought one for Chiwa.
He also bought several sets of clothes himself, including T-shirts, shorts, sportswear and sneakers that are convenient for exercise.
Then, he returned to the first floor and replenished various daily necessities.
In the middle of the journey, Higashino Hirosawa wanted to buy some toys for Chiwa-chan, but Chiwa-chan only ended up choosing a set of building blocks.
She is not very interested in other toy cars and toy animals.
…
"Wang-chan!"
It was already after seven o'clock in the evening when he came back. When he was only a few minutes away from the rental house, Xiao Qianhe suddenly pointed at a shadow about ten meters away in front of him and shouted happily.
It was a khaki Akita dog.
He was very dirty and seemed to be a little injured.
Hearing Chiwa-chan's voice, the Akita dog looked over, then turned around and ran towards the alley, disappearing without a trace.
Xiao Qianhe pouted in disappointment, she still wanted to play with this Wang Jiang.
Stray dog?
This dog seems to be very afraid of people and is also injured. Was it beaten?
Higashino Hirosawa looked at the alley where the Akita dog disappeared and thought in his mind.
…
It was very late when I got home, and Higashino Hirosawa did not plan to go out again at night.
Xiao Qianhe also had a lot of fun playing outside today. He also had a small school bag and new toys, and he didn't want to go out.
After Chiwa-chan fell asleep, Higashino Hirosawa drew a few illustrations for the White Album, and then started working on the fourth comic.
The fourth comic, Higashino Hirosawa is preparing to contribute to "Youth PLUS".
Youth PLUS focuses on love and reasoning.
Higashino Hirosawa has never been very interested in romance-themed comics and has never taken the initiative to read those specialized romance comics.
If I insist on Higashino Hirosawa painting, it’s not impossible that he can’t do it.
"Baseball Heroes" by Mitsuru Adachi, Higashino Hirosawa thinks it is a very good romance manga.
However, what "Youth PLUS" wanted was a more simple and direct comic with a love theme, and Higashino Hirosawa didn't want to draw a baseball hero and submit it to it.
Higashino Hirosawa chose mystery comics.
When it comes to mystery comics, the first one to recommend is "Kindaichi Boy's Incident Book"!
