The uncle pointed at the middle-aged man chatting with him and said to Zhang Huawei: "Xiaowei, Minister Li, please say hello." Then he pointed at Zhang Huawei and said to Minister Li: "This is my sister's boy. He just graduated from high school this year.

." Zhang Huawei said hello to Minister Li: "Hello, Minister Li, my name is Zhang Huawei." "Well, the young man is not bad. He has graduated from high school. There are not many high school students in our hometown. We can count them all. The high school students are outside.

Xiang is a man of culture. Hahaha. How old is the young man?" "Minister Li, this boy from my sister's family has just turned sixteen this year, and he is a bit young in reading." "Young man, you can be considered a cultured person.

Come on, work hard, and you will definitely make a difference. Old Li, you two have a chat, and I will leave first." Zhang Huawei said to Minister Li: "Minister Li, walk slowly." Minister Li waved to Zhang Huawei

He waved his hand and turned around to leave.

After Minister Li left, his uncle said to Zhang Huawei: "Xiaowei, come home with me today, go to your uncle's place to have dinner and talk to your uncle. Your aunt misses you too." "Uncle, I have to go back.

Well, if you haven't gone back at night, your parents will be worried." "You just go if I tell you, kid. Why are there so many things? You go back after dinner. It's not that far away. You can get there in a while by riding a bike.

." The uncle said angrily. Seeing that his uncle was angry, Zhang Huawei had no choice but to agree to his uncle.

I bought meat on the street with my uncle and then went to my uncle together. Every time my uncle buys meat, he always buys a little more. My uncle’s family has a lot of people. Two of my cousins ​​are married and have children. Now they are also separated from my uncle’s family.

The single was over. But every time my uncle bought meat, he would buy more and invite his two sons to eat together as a family. After arriving at his uncle's house, he greeted his aunt, his two cousins, and his sister-in-law, and Zhang Huawei chatted with his uncle.

The next day, my uncle asked Zhang Huawei: "Xiaowei, do you want to be a hawker all your life? Have you ever thought about becoming a soldier? I'll go find Minister Li. The man you saw today is the Minister of Armed Forces in the countryside. I

You have a good relationship with him, and joining the army may be an opportunity for you." "Uncle, I really haven't thought about becoming a soldier, but uncle, even if I want to go, I'm only sixteen years old this year.

Is that possible?" "Age doesn't matter. Last year I knew that a man who was just fifteen years old went there. If you really want to go, I'll go find Minister Li. It shouldn't be a big problem." "Then I'll go back.

I'll ask my parents, if they agree, I will join the army and then I'll see my uncle."

After dinner at his uncle's house, Zhang Huawei went home. When he got home, he was having dinner at home. His mother asked Zhang Huawei to have dinner. Zhang Huawei said that he had eaten at his uncle's house, and then told his parents about what his uncle said about being a soldier. His father said that if

If you really want to go, go ahead. Anyway, there is no shortage of labor at home now. My mother was very worried and said that the army was very hard and tiring. Zhang Huawei persuaded his mother that he was not a person who could not endure hardship, so Zhang Huawei went to be a soldier.

Now that things are basically settled, it's time to sign up for the military recruitment.

A new day has begun, and Zhang Huawei has devoted himself to the hard and busy hawker business again. He is busy every day, leaving early and returning late, but Zhang Huawei feels very fulfilled. If he is free at home tomorrow, it will not only make people energetic

He feels empty when he goes to school, and the boring time will slowly wear away a person's fighting spirit. Therefore, Zhang Huawei will be tired tomorrow and is not willing to waste time at home in boredom.

Now Zhang Huawei no longer only sells one kind of thing tomorrow. Now he feels that the price difference of that kind of thing is larger, and he will sell that kind of thing if it is easier to sell. Sometimes he will sell several vegetables at the same time in a day.

When selling in the market, it can be said that Zhang Huawei is becoming more and more sophisticated in business now, and he looks like an old dealer.

I bought more than a hundred kilograms of peanuts at noon today and went to Xihua Street Market. I found a stall, unloaded the peanuts from my bicycle and laid them out. I was ready and waited for customers to come to my door. After Zhang Huawei had finished all the preparations, he suddenly discovered that his

Standing next to the stall was a child, about three or four years old, wearing a dress whose color was indistinguishable. His hair was stuck together and turned into strands. The leather shoes on his feet were also vaguely still.

I can tell that it is red. I don’t know how long it has been since my face was washed, and I can’t even tell the original color. There are only a pair of big eyes blinking. Zhang Huawei felt an inexplicable pain in his heart when he looked at those eyes.

, what kind of look is revealed in those big eyes? What you see in the eyes of a child is helplessness, fear, and even fear. How can this be the look of a child? I don’t know what the child looks like.

How much suffering did the child have to suffer to become like this?

Zhang Huawei squatted down in front of the little girl, but the little girl took two steps back in fear, "Little sister, don't be afraid, brother is not a bad person, tell him your name, where you come from, and how you got here.

Okay?" The little girl just looked at Zhang Huawei without saying anything. Zhang Huawei saw the little girl's eyes looking straight at the peanuts, so he pointed at the peanuts and asked the little girl: "Little sister, do you know what this is?" The little girl still didn't know.

While talking, Zhang Huawei said again: "Those are peanuts. They are edible and delicious. Do you want to eat them?" Maybe hearing that the food was tempting the little girl, the little girl finally nodded and saw

The little girl finally responded, and Zhang Huawei was very happy. He immediately peeled a few peanuts and put them in the little girl's mouth. The little girl immediately started chewing them. Zhang Huawei felt a little distressed when he saw the little girl chewing the peanuts. "Slow down."

Eat it slowly. I'll peel it for you just now." It seems that the little girl is hungry, and just giving her peanuts won't work. She stood up and looked around, and saw a shop selling steamed buns not far away. Go up

Holding the little girl's hand, the little girl did not hide this time. Zhang Huawei took the little girl to the bun shop and bought four buns. Seeing that the little girl's hands had turned into black, Zhang Huawei asked the boss if he had any water.

I wanted to help the little girl wash. The boss looked at the little girl Zhang Huawei was holding and said that this child had been on this street for two days and never asked anyone for anything. The boss thought she was pitiful.

Every day, I would give her the leftover buns from a few sales.

The boss asked Zhang Huawei to take the little girl to the back of the shop to wash her hands. There was a faucet there. He took the little girl to the back of the bun shop and washed the little girl's hands. He also washed her face and cleaned the little girl's body.

Face Zhang Huawei discovered that he was a very beautiful child, with a pair of big round eyes, a straight little nose, and a round mouth. Due to hunger, his face was sallow and he looked a little thin, but he could still tell that he was a

A very pretty and stylish little girl.

He took the little girl back to the stall, carried the little girl to the back frame of the bicycle, sat down, and gave the buns to the little girl to eat. After the little girl finished eating the four buns, Zhang Huawei asked her if she still wanted to eat, and the little girl shook her head.

He shook his head and asked her if she wanted to eat peanuts. He also shook his head. Zhang Huawei asked with the attitude of giving it a try: "Little sister, can you tell me your name?" "Nanny" the little girl spoke, and

She still spoke smooth Mandarin, which was completely different from the accent of people from Western Sichuan Province. The little girl was probably not from Western Sichuan, and she didn’t know how such a beautiful little girl ended up here. Zhang Huawei asked again: "

Can you tell me where you are from and how you got here?" "Big train. Auntie, hit me." She started to cry as she said that.

Zhang Huawei took the little girl off the bicycle frame and held her in his arms. He patted the little girl on the back with his hand. "If the little girl doesn't cry, my brother won't ask. The little girl won't be afraid. With my brother here, I won't be afraid of anything."

After crying in Zhang Huawei's arms for a while, he actually fell asleep. Zhang Huawei took out a piece of plastic sheet from the bicycle basket and spread it on the ground next to the bicycle. He placed the little girl on it and took off his shirt to cover the little girl.

, he himself wore a vest and sold things there.

When Zhang Huawei's peanuts were about to be sold out, the little girl woke up on her own, and just sat there quietly watching Zhang Huawei selling peanuts. After a while, Zhang Huawei sold out the peanuts and turned around to see that her daughter had woken up. At this time,

Zhang Huawei began to have difficulties. What should he do with this child? Zhang Huawei really couldn't think of a way. After packing up other things, he picked up the little girl from the plastic sheet and said, "Nanny stood up, and my brother took the plastic

Put the cloth away." The little girl may have thought that Zhang Huawei was leaving and leaving her here again, so she grabbed Zhang Huawei's pants tightly with her little hands, tears welling up in her eyes, and her eyes were exposed again.

That look of helplessness and fear.

Zhang Huawei really didn't know what to do. Looking at the helpless look in his little girl's eyes, Zhang Huawei finally made up his mind. "Oh! Why did you ask that so many people didn't look for you, but you just found me?"

It's fate, let's take you back first and then talk about it." He patted the little girl on the head and said, "Don't be afraid, baby, brother won't abandon you. Brother, can you take you home with me?" The little girl nodded vigorously.

Nodding, Zhang Huawei carried the little girl to the rear frame and sat down, then pushed the bicycle to the bun shop, and said to the boss: "Boss, my dad brought this little kid home, and I will leave you an address.

If someone comes looking for her, give him my address, or ask the person looking for her to wait for me here. I will come here often to sell things." "Young man, you are such a good person, you will definitely have a good future.

Don’t worry, if anyone comes looking for me, I will tell them.”
