Chapter 32 The Reason

"You...you... aren't liars, aren't you?"

After a while, I might be really hungry and couldn't help it, so the old man spoke vigilantly.

"Uncle, don't worry! I'm just passing by. Seeing that you and your child are still outside in such a cold day, I want to come and ask if you need help!"

Dukan said, trying to be sincere as he wanted.

"Little kid, come to my sister's place for dinner!"

Xu Linlin, who was beside her, waved to the child behind the old man and signaled.

"Grandpa! Eat, eat!"

Obviously this move was very effective, and the child grabbed the old man's clothes and began to beg.

"Come on, take it and eat with the child!"

After repeated persuasion by Dukan, the old man finally put down his guard and walked over slowly. He took over the two boxes of lunch in Dukan's hand through the railing next to the sidewalk!

After taking the lunch box, he opened it and sniffed it himself, checked it before handing it to his grandson beside him!

"Huzi, come and eat!"

Maybe because I haven't eaten enough for a long time, the child picked up the lunch box and started to swallow it voraciously, eating all over his mouth with rice grains.

The old man himself started to eat big chews, and he seemed to be hungry!

Seeing this scene, Du Kan and Xu Linlin felt very uncomfortable, especially Xu Linlin, whose eyes were red without realizing it!

"Cough cough cough cough cough..."

The child in the middle almost choked because he ate too fast.

"Huzi, eat slowly! Eat slowly!"

The old man next to him quickly stopped his movements, reached out and patted the former on the back, and said with a kind look on his face.

Seeing this, Dukan turned around and took two bottles of mineral water from the trunk and handed it over.

"Come on, drink some water, eat slowly, don't choke!"

"Thank you! Thank you, boss!"

The old man held the rice in his mouth and didn't know what he said. He thanked Dukan before he took the water, and then quickly opened a bottle and handed it to his grandson.

Dukan and Xu Linlin stood aside and silently watched the grandfather and grandson sitting on the shop steps opposite and having a meal.

"what to do?"

Xu Linlin asked with red eyes.

The grandfather and grandson looked so pitiful, and they were dirty all over. Just like eating, they must have been hungry for a long time, and the clothes on their bodies were thin. Xu Linlin could not imagine how these two people spent every day in such a cold day.

Dukan felt uncomfortable, but as a boy, he had to be more stable.

Hearing Xu Linlin ask this, he thought about it and said.

"Let's talk about the situation when they finish eating!"

Logically speaking, the grandfather and grandson should go to the shelter. For some reason, they were still wandering on the streets at this point in time.

So now I can only ask clearly what's going on. He has seen many wandering people in the news before. It's not that they don't care about them in the shelter, but that they don't want to be there and secretly run out again after they go there!

In just a few minutes, the old man ate the lunch box in advance, while his grandson was still eating slowly, but there was not much left in a box of lunch box.

"How is it? Is it enough? I still have a box here?"

Dukan saw the two of them throwing away the lunch box and asked the old man with the remaining box.

"Enough! Thank you, boss."

After eating and drinking, the old man seemed to have completely let go of his vigilance against Dukan and the others and spoke more smoothly.

"It's okay!"

Dukan took back the lunch box and held it in his hand, and asked again.

"Uncle, is this your grandson? How old is it!"

"Well, my grandson Hu Zi, this year... is nine and a half years old!"

The old man said as he stretched out his hand and kindly stroked Hu Zi's head.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

Dukan was very touched when he looked at the old man's loving face.

"Uncle, Hu Zi is so young, you are old, and it's so cold that you two are so wandering on the streets?"

After a while of getting close, Dukan began to go straight to the point and ask about his situation.

"Why!"

Who knew that as soon as he finished asking, the other party looked up at him and sighed with difficulty.

"Uncle, don't get me wrong. We have no other intentions, we just want to help you! But before this, you have to understand your situation to know how to help you!"

Xu Linlin, who was standing beside her, spoke to help explain.

"It's not hindering, it's not hindering! Just when I think about it, I feel sorry for Hu Zi's child!"

The old man said, his face gradually becoming a little sad, and then he slowly began to tell.

"Hu Zi's father died early and had a car accident. His mother remarried with the money and ran away with someone! Later, because other children in the village always bullied him, he fought with others and hurt his brain! Alas... it's all my fault! I shouldn't have agreed to his father go to the sports car at the beginning..."

A few short sentences stabbed Dukan and Xu Linlin like needles. Dukan was better, but Xu Linlin cried directly!

"Grandpa! Full, full!"

Hu Zi, who was standing beside him, finished eating the lunch box and handed it to the old man.

Only then did the two realize that as his grandfather said, Hu Zi's words and actions and expression on his face were very different from those on normal people.

"But why are you wandering on the streets?"

"Hey! In order to treat Hu Zi's illness, I took him to look for a doctor everywhere. The money was ruined, and all the valuables in the family were sold out! Hu Zi grew up day by day and clamored to find his mother every day. If he didn't bring him out, he would sneak out alone. There was no way, I was old and had no income, so I could only..."

At the end of his speech, the old man choked up for a while and could no longer say anything.

Xu Linlin also cried like a tearful person!

Dukan patted Xu Linlin on the shoulder and then continued to ask.

"In this case, you can apply for national subsidies for minimum living allowances and poverty! If you really can't go to the shelter, you can at least eat and wear warm clothes there, so you don't have to be so windy and rainy like this!"

"Hey, I took Hu Zi outside for a long time, and the money I saved was not enough for him to see a doctor. In the past, there were kind-hearted people who helped us find a shelter, but Hu Zi couldn't stay at all. He would clamor for leaving when he went! I had no choice!"

Hearing this, Dukan also understood the difficulties of this old man!

Maybe he himself didn't want to take his grandson to wander around the streets and rush over the trash cans every day, but there was nothing he could do. Hu Zi was sick and had to go out every day. Only by taking him on the street, Hu Zi felt that his grandfather was waiting for him to find his mother, so that he could be happy and stay quietly, not make trouble, and not run around!

In this way, I can only wander around every day, without income or state subsidies, and eating becomes a problem!

"In the past, many kind-hearted people helped us, some people paid and some bought clothes! Some restaurant owners, like you, would give us some pitiful food to our grandfather and grandson! If it really doesn't work, we will go to some hotel buckets to find some fresh leftovers to eat! But recently, all the people on the street were gone and the store was closed. Hu Zi was so hungry that I could only wait for him to come out to find food. We haven't eaten for three days!

As he spoke, the old man started crying.

"Grandpa, be good! Don't cry, don't cry!"

Although Hu Zi was not very smart, when he saw his grandfather crying, he actually reached out to help the latter wipe his tears with his sleeve, and kept comforting him.

"call!"

After hearing this, Dukan's eyes were wet when he saw this scene.

If I hadn't met this grandfather and grandson today, I really wouldn't know how many days they would be hungry or how many days they could live!

Due to the epidemic in this city, everyone is hiding in their homes and the streets are empty. There must be many homeless people like the grandfather and grandson facing difficulties in survival.

At this moment, Dukan realized that the impact of this epidemic was much worse than what he saw on the surface, and there were still many people who needed help!

After a while of thinking, Dukan made a decision.

"Let's go! The uncle takes Huzi into the car and follow me!"

"Thank you, boss, thank you, you are good people! But we can't go to the shelter!"

"Don't worry, don't go to the shelter! Go to my place. Although I can't give you too much money and can't change your living conditions at once, I can guarantee that you can eat and wear warmth. As for the future, we will always get better!"

"This is not OK, no, I'm so troubled! It will affect your business!"

Hearing Du Kan's words, the old man was moved but still refused.

"Let's go! Uncle, if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Hu Zi! Go to my place, at least you can have enough food and have a place to stay!"

"Yes! Take Huzi and go with us!"

Xu Linlin wiped her tears and persuaded her.

"Thank you, boss! Thank you! I'll thank you for Hu Zi!"

Hearing this, the old man looked at Hu Zi beside him and finally nodded in agreement.
