My sisters are big stars

Chapter 137: Call

Children don't know many characters, and they can't write if they are a little complicated.

He has never been to school, and the characters he knows now are all taught by the old man who raised him before.

How many words can the old scavengers know?
So most of the time, Lu Li had to guess what the child meant.

He can see that the child is willing to answer some things, and some things are deliberately pretending to be stupid.

For example, when he asked the child where he lived before, the child pretended not to understand and did not write, and asked him if he wanted to go home or his parents, the child nodded and asked his name, and he wrote on the ground with his finger: little winter.

He tries not to use paper and pens, which is quite economical.

Lu Li lost interest after asking a few questions but couldn't find anything. The key point was that talking to a mute child who didn't want to communicate with him was too much effort.

It was getting dark soon, and there was moonlight in the unfinished building. Lu Li lay by the window and looked at the bright moon and stars hanging high.

Today's moon is particularly bright, and there are several more stars than before. He looked at the sky and the bright lights of tall buildings not far away, and felt emotional for a while.

"Where the lights of Wanjia are dimmed, the spring flowers and autumn moon are a few times."

The city is prosperous and brightly lit, but none of them are for him. It was hard for him to return to his old sister's side, but now he becomes lonely again.

"Wang!"

Xiaobai seemed to sense Lu Li's emotions, he patted Lu Li's head with his head, and let out a cry.

Lu Li lowered his head, and Xiao Bai was looking at him with round eyes, whimpering softly, as if saying that I would accompany you.

He patted Xiaobai's head and groaned deeply, the little thing is very clever, and he can feel it when he has a little mood swing.

After a few words of reassurance, Xiaobai obediently lowered his head and went to sleep.

Lu Li turned his head and glanced at Xiao Dong who was lying next to him in the little white nest. He had already fallen into a deep sleep.

On the contrary, he has a big heart, and he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary when he lives next to strangers, and he can fall asleep as soon as it gets dark.

It has to be said that scavengers who can survive in this kind of weather, even children, must have their own strengths.

He also closed his eyes, but his mood remained the same.

Xiaobai's cry not only failed to heal him, but made him feel even more lonely.

The strange world is a layer of loneliness, and Xiaobai and old man Mi will disappear after he is gone is another layer of loneliness.

Lu Li didn't think too much about it, Xiaodong should be more lonely than himself.

Falling asleep with the moonlight coming in from outside.

……

Early the next morning.

Lu Li woke up early as usual.

At this time, the sky was still only dim, and he glanced at Xiaodong, who was still intoxicated in sleep, and he didn't even change his sleeping position.

If it weren't for the child's body still heaving, he might have thought that Xiaodong had frozen to death.

Xiaobai shook his head, scratched his ears with his hind paws, and after taking care of himself, he poked his feet to Xiaodong's side, trying to wake up the child who had occupied his nest.

Lu Li whispered to Xiao Bai, "Don't wake him up."

"Let him sleep again."

Hearing this, Xiaobai immediately left the child and came to rub against Lu Li's feet.

Lu Li picked up the paper and pen beside the child, and wrote, "I'll go out and pick up some things first, don't run around when you wake up, I'll be back with breakfast in a while."

After finishing writing, put the paper and pen back next to the child's face, put some cinders into the already burning iron stove, let him get closer to the child, and then he took the woven bag and took Xiaobai out.

The child doesn't know what crimes he has suffered before, but now he sleeps in a warm bed and has a shelter from the wind and rain. It is normal for the child to not want to get up when he falls asleep.

He was going to wait for two days. If there was no reply from the other end of the call, he would send the child Xiaodong to the police station and ask the other party to help find the parents.

Wouldn't it be easier to find someone with a photo?

You can't let such a big kid do the business of scavengers for a lifetime.

No matter how hard it is, children cannot suffer, and no matter how poor they are, education cannot be poor.These are the words passed down from the older generation.Besides, he is not a villain. To put it bluntly, he is doing good things now.

When scavengers?What's the future of that.

Lu Li shook his head, turned around and started today's life of scavenging.

He didn't know that as soon as he walked on his front foot, Xiaodong rolled over from the bed with a grunt on his back foot.

Looking at the direction in which Lu Li was leaving, he picked up the pen and paper beside him, and he could roughly recognize the characters on it.

Whether it's the tenderness in this word or the warmth in the stove next to him, he hasn't felt it for a long time.

But even so, he is not willing to trust others easily.

He didn't sleep much all night, and kept staring at Lu Li's situation.Even if he fell asleep, it was still a light sleep. As long as there was any disturbance, he would wake up immediately, and then he would close his eyes and listen to the movement next to him.

Fortunately, Lu Li has been honest all night long, and entering the society prematurely has allowed him to see many dark sides of society.

Except for his scavenger grandfather who raised him back then, he can't trust anyone, and now he stays here because he and Lu Li are taking advantage of each other.

He used Lu Li to find his relatives, and Lu Li used him in exchange for benefits.

He can see all these clearly.

So I have been wary of each other.

He was the only one left in the unfinished building, and beside him was the unfinished snacks that Lu Li bought for him yesterday.

His gaze softened for a moment, but then hardened immediately.

keep up!
He wanted to see whether everything Lu Li showed in front of him was fake.

If he pretended, Lu Li was sure he was a bad person, so he was ready to find a chance to steal his phone and wallet, even if there was a vicious dog beside him.

……

Lu Li met Old Man Mi in the park as usual.

The two began to sweep the building first, and after sweeping the building and the trash can, the woven bag became bulging visible to the naked eye.

"Xiao Lu, if you want to tell me that since you want to be a scavenger, you might as well buy a tricycle while you have money, and buy waste products while scavenging, so that you can earn extra money without delaying your business."

Old man Mi thought about it for a long time when he went home, and finally figured out how to make Lu Li move forward.

Isn't the other party happy to be a scavenger, a tramp?

Then the more you work in this industry, the better. Start with small-scale acquisitions, and finally open a waste collection station. Although that is not a decent job, at least you can be considered self-employed.

Lu Li smiled and nodded when he heard this, and said, "Okay, I'll consider what you said, I can't stop you from working."

"Let's wait until this winter is over. It's too cold in winter. If I ride a bike again, I'm afraid I'll freeze to death."

Old man Mi became anxious immediately when he heard the words, and blamed him: "You silly boy, winter is better, and everyone doesn't want to go out in winter, so you can ride a tricycle and shout in the community with a loudspeaker, collect waste, and recycle second-hand appliances. , can definitely make money!"

"You really shouldn't look down on this job. Not everyone can do this job, at least those homeless people with no capital can't do it."

"I advise you to quickly add up the sums. If you are short of money, you can tell me that I have it in my pocket."

Seeing old man Mi start nagging again, Lu Li quickly raised his hand in surrender.

"Okay, give me some time, and I'll see if it works."

He fully agreed, and old man Mi let him go.

But Lu Li really didn't intend to do this, the experience will be over soon, and he doesn't need to do anything else.

Picking up rubbish every day, and going to the train station to stay at the train station when I have nothing to do, isn't it a very carefree life.

The two of them picked up almost everything, so they walked towards the garbage dump while chatting.

Only Xiaobai turned his head when he had nothing to do, and looked behind him suspiciously.

Lu Li also noticed that Xiaobai was a little strange, so he yelled at Xiaobai and then left.

Who would follow a homeless man.

After selling the scraps, old man Mi still has to continue working. I don't know whether it is the enthusiasm for picking up waste or the enthusiasm for chattering. He wants to not even eat, and wait until noon to eat together.

Lu Li refused to do it. He had two mouths to deal with, but the key was that he still had one at home.

When Xiaodong wakes up and sees the note, he will definitely wait for him. If he doesn't come back, it won't be easy if he goes out and gets lost.

Lu Li was a little worried about how to explain Xiaodong's matter to old man Mi.

Just then, a phone call came.
