156 The Taste of Happiness (4000-word chapter)(1/3)
In a rental house of less than ten square meters, a small TV was playing an animation program with snowflakes. A little girl who looked six or seven years old was curled up in the corner of the bed with her knees in her arms, watching the TV with relish.
Because her mother was lying on the bed and resting, she turned on the TV very quietly. At this time, the TV station was playing an advertisement for a new flavor of boxed ice cream.
"Sweet Yugli, three-layer crispy sandwich, Mingxi convenience store is selling well nationwide. Come and taste the taste of happiness!"
The seductive ice cream advertisement on TV gives the little girl a drool.
"The taste of happiness..."
She turned off the TV and gently pushed her mother who seemed to be still asleep.
However, my mother didn't respond.
...
The girl gave up trying and she began to figure out her own way.
Convenience store, across the street.
I bought bread with my mother before.
However, buying things at a convenience store requires money.
If the money...
The girl carefully searched for the drawer, under the table, and in the corner of the bedding, and found several coins.
The girl put all the coins in her palm and counted them one by one.
"one two three……"
There are 5 coins.
The little girl looked at her mother who was still sleeping by the bed, put the coins in her hand into her pocket, and then moved the small stool and stepped on the stool to open the door.
Instead of closing the door, she let the small stool block the door.
She trotted towards the stairs and went down the stairs alone, holding the railings of the handrail of the stairwell, while stretching out her toes to touch the ground.
The stairs were a little steep, and she would not be afraid before she could only hold her mother.
Every time she only stretches out her right foot to touch the ground, which will be more stable.
Finally, she walked out of the dilapidated and short apartment building.
She saw a mother and son holding hands forehand, and followed them and walked over step by step.
The boy grabbed his mother's hand and jumped. They were about to go to the amusement park they had long wanted to play in a while.
At this moment, he saw the little girl following them and pulled his mother's hand hard.
"Mom, there is a little beggar following us behind."
"Shhh... don't talk."
The child walked quickly under the mother's pull, so the girl followed them from afar.
yes……
It's the street.
She saw the traffic coming and going, the tall buildings and the beautifully dressed passers-by.
But everyone avoided her.
She was wearing dirty clothes, messy hair, drooping snot on one side, and stains on her face.
But his eyes were bright and bright.
She is looking forward to it.
The girl has to complete a very difficult task today.
She saw the convenience store opposite, and there was a very bright Yugrid advertisement hanging on the plaque.
"There will be...that there."
But...zebra crossing.
Children on TV will pass through zebra crossing when crossing the road.
She looked around and saw that the crowd was still on, and she came over.
She didn't dare to get too close to the strangers, but just stood obediently in the corner, watching them chatting happily.
Finally, the green light lit up, and she followed the passers-by, keeping a distance, and trotted.
The green light on this road is very short, and she doesn't walk fast, and because she is following her old age, the red light will soon turn on.
She was very scared and stood there and did not dare to move.
The red light is about to stop...
But the oncoming truck kept honking her whistle to her and signaling her to walk away, and there was no intention of slowing down.
She was so scared that she ran to the convenience store opposite her and finally avoided her.
The truck whizzed past her.
She was panting while trembling constantly.
Her heartbeats very fast, as if she feels that she has accomplished something amazing.
The door of the convenience store is an automatic door, which is still a rare thing in this era. The little girl dared not approach it rashly. She just stood in front of the convenience store and waited for someone to come out before she could get in the gap between the automatic door opening.
call……
The little girl did not attract the attention of others, and there seemed to be no one else in the store except for the cashier at the front desk.
He sat there reading alone, not seemingly noticed himself.
The little girl looked around and found the freezer area in the convenience store.
She opened the cabinet door hard, then stood on tiptoe, and after some effort, she finally got the previous one
Yugli is so ice...
The little girl held a small box of yogre ice cream in her hand and came to the front of the cashier counter.
The cash register is also very high.
The cashier only saw the yogre ice cream slowly pushing over, which scared him.
"Where are people?"
The cashier looked around and saw the little girl reaching out and pushing all the coins slowly to the counter.
"Hey... Are you wrong..."
"I just want to eat yogrid for a few cents? Where is your mother? I ask your mother to buy it."
The little girl poked her head out from under the counter and looked at him with fear.
Is he... angry?
The cashier is really angry.
"Why did you come here alone, where is your mother?!"
"Mom... is sleeping."
She spoke carefully.
This is also true when my mother is angry...
No...no can't make others angry...
But when the little girl thought of her mother's appearance when she was angry, she was so scared that she was a little tearful.
"Really...how did your mother become an adult..."
"And you, stinky girl."
"You can't buy Yougri with this little money!"
"Would you like to use this money next time! This one!"
The cashier showed the little girl a 100 yuan note, then took Yugri up and prepared to put it back into the original freezer.
He saw the little girl standing there, staring at him blankly.
My body was trembling all the time.
"It's so unlucky... I helped my dad look at a store, why did I meet such a shameless child like you..."
While murmured, the cashier tore a red plastic bag, put some bread, biscuits, and candies in, and handed them to the little girl.
Finally, he took another flavor of Yugri from the freezer and handed it to the little girl.
"The rum flavor just now is not something that children eat... vanilla flavor is OK, right?"
The little girl nodded in surprise and reached out to pick up Yogli, but the plastic bag filled with my snacks fell off again.
Tsk...
