crimson greed

On a September day, the air is hot and dry, and cicadas and birds are singing hysterically on the branches.

Fei Li is in the internship stage, and she has not finished her senior year. She has been working on a design draft for a week in the company. She has hypoglycemia and just came out of the hospital. Before she could pull out the retained needle in her hand, someone rang her phone.

She stared at the number above and found that it was her mother, Ms. Chen's number.

Under the scorching sun, she stood under a big tree to enjoy the shade and answered the phone.

"mom."

A woman's anxious voice came from the phone, "Ali, are you in the hospital now?"

"I just got off work." She rubbed her neck, which was sore and stiff, and she didn't recover all day.

"Is your place far from the municipal elementary school?"

"It's very close." She is now opposite the municipal primary school.

"Then hurry up and find a child for mom. It's your sister-in-law's daughter."

"……what?"

Ms. Chen's voice was a little anxious, "Before your sister-in-law got married, she wanted to take back the child who was outside. Now your brother is so angry that he doesn't even come back home, and your sister-in-law is crying again and taking the child away. The child is here. She is in the fourth grade of a municipal elementary school. Her name is Qiao Yan, you can't let her take her away like this."

"This kind of thing, are you singing a show?" She didn't appreciate the complicated relationships at home.

"Don't blame your brother. He has a deep affection for your sister-in-law. He has known her since high school. Hey, this child is so pitiful. Anyway, you find her and take her back to live with you for a few days. I will take care of her when I have time. .”

After working so many days, Fei Li was about to go back to rest for a while, and a little niece came out on the way.

She sighed helplessly, "Okay, then I'll take her back to my place first, and you can persuade my brother, don't be too hurtful."

It is said that family and everything are prosperous, and it is not good to make a noise over an unknown child.

Fei Li put the phone back in her pocket, entered the school, and went to find the girl named Qiao Yan.

The children in the elementary school were all walking around at this time. There were five classes in the fourth grade. She found the classroom of three girls. When she heard footsteps outside the window, the left-behind children looked over one after another.

At this age, they have to learn to take care of themselves, and they are all waiting for their parents to pick them up, Fei Li felt inexplicably sad.

The fourth grade head teacher saw her, but felt strange, and asked, "Whose parent is it?"

Fei Li glanced into the classroom. "I'm Qiao Yan's little aunt. Her mother has something to do now. Let me come and take her back."

"Qiao Yan's aunt, I haven't heard that she has an aunt?" The homeroom teacher was not too sure about her words, worried that she was some kind of child-trafficking woman, and seeing that she didn't look well dressed, she couldn't take it lightly.

Fei Li narrated her sister-in-law's phone number from her mobile phone, "This is my sister-in-law's number. I am away from home all the year round and go to school in other places. This kid doesn't remember me, but I have an ID card. If you are worried, I can show you my ID card."

To be on the safe side, the head teacher checked her ID card before allowing her to take the students away.

"Qiao Yan, your family is here to pick you up."

A girl came out with a pink kitty schoolbag on her back. The girl was wearing a bubble skirt, with soft black hair, small and exquisite facial features, delicate and soft skin like water, and beautiful eyes looking at Fei Li in front of her in a daze. .

Fei Li stretched out her hand, her eyes were bright, and she smiled: "Hi, little Qiaoyan, I'm Fei Li, your new father's sister, your little aunt."

Qiao Yan heard the sound, and slowly raised her slender and thick eyelashes. The woman in front of her was tall and slender, with a charming temperament, wearing a white shirt, with a soft waist line, porcelain white skin, and the stuck needle on the back of her hand was very conspicuous.

She smiled very gently, with two sweet little dimples, without the coldness of her mother.

She froze for half a second without reaching out.

Fei Li said calmly: "Auntie will not hurt you, I will take you home, would you like to come with me?"

Qiao Yan stared at her hand, nodded, and put her little hand in hers.

"Yeah." A soft syllable came from the back of her throat.

Fei Li said goodbye to her homeroom teacher, took her by the hand and left the campus.

Along the way, she began to tell her, "Your mother has been busy recently, so you stay with your aunt first. I will take you to school in the morning and wait for me to pick you up after school, you know?"

"Hmm." She nodded obediently, vaguely, the voice of the woman in front of her was very nice, maybe it was because she seldom talked to people, but this woman named Fei Li gave her a strange and safe feeling.

It was amazing at first sight.

Qiao Yan raised her head and asked innocently, "Then when will my mother come?"

"It won't be long. She can take you back after she finishes her work in a few days."

"Little aunt, will I have my own room and a lot of toys in the future?"

"..." This Fei Li couldn't guarantee it.

Because she has nothing at home.

"Well... If you like it, Auntie will buy you a gift." Fei Li pursed her lips and touched her little head.

"Really?" Qiao Yan raised her eyelashes, and her eyes lit up like a resurrected fish.

Fei Li's nose was sore again, she nodded and smiled.After all, he is a child, and his innocence makes people feel distressed.

She rubbed the little girl's head, and became restless again.

I can't take care of one person alone, and I have to help other people take care of their little nieces who are not related by blood.
