Gu Pei reborn

When closing his eyes, Gu Pei even felt his heart beating happily.The dim light from the street lamps dazzled on the ceiling, passed through the retina, and filled the whole head with a warm golden color.

Deliberately getting up early, the rare street lamps that were not broken still gave off a lonely light, and the breakfast shop had just opened, and Gu Pei waited there for about ten minutes before the steamed buns came out.Holding the hot buns, Gu Pei had just walked a few steps when the street lights were suddenly turned off. The sudden darkness made Gu Pei close his eyes reflexively. When he realized what happened, he pulled the corners of his mouth and opened his eyes.It is not very clear, the sky is also foggy, and the whole world seems to be far away from me, only the sound of whizzing cars and the sound of the cleaning lady sweeping the floor pass through the dark world and fall into my ears.Then came the sound of my own footsteps, the sound of the rolling shutter door being opened, the sound of early risers saying hello, and then "Brother Gu Pei".The crisp voice made Gu Pei shudder.

Looking at the boy, Gu Pei smiled slightly. Chen Yan was wearing thicker clothes today, and Gu Pei saw that he was wearing the clothes he gave him last time.Although his face was still dirty, it was much better than before, and his big black eyes shone brightly even in the dark morning.

"Come, breakfast." Gu Pei handed the bun to Chen Yan.Seeing him gulping down, Gu Pei sighed inwardly, then looked at the big greasy bag at his feet, and said slowly, "I used to sell vegetables every weekend."

Chen Yan stopped swallowing, raised his head to look at Gu Pei, and then looked down at the bun that was only half left in his hand, his face gradually became ugly.

"What's wrong?" Gu Pei didn't know what the kid was up to.

"...You don't have to give me breakfast anymore." Chen Yan seemed to muster up a lot of courage, and then raised his head, "I will pay you back what you gave me before when I grow up." His voice sounded strange sad.But this time he didn't lose his temper and throw away the buns or turn around and leave like before.He thought he was lucky to have someone who was willing to talk to him, and that's all he could ask for.Even if Gu Pei hates himself, he doesn't want to let him go.At this moment, he completely forgot that Gu Pei took the initiative to hold him back yesterday.

"You child..." Gu Pei felt angry and distressed after hearing Chen Yan's words. He suddenly remembered his former self. When he stretched out his friendly hand, he still hid behind. He was afraid that it was a prank, and he would pull himself into their group, and then dig up his previous embarrassment to laugh at himself or abandon himself.But after trying it myself, the result is not bad.Stretching out his hand to rub the child's tangled hair, he said, "What are you thinking about? I want to say that when I was selling vegetables, I heard that newspapers were pretty good. The cost is not high. A kid like you sells Faster, do you want to try it?"

"..." After listening to Gu Pei's words, Chen Yan couldn't react in a daze. After thinking about Gu Pei's words, he felt his nose sore and tried to open his eyes wide. He lowered his head and bit down Baozi, he chewed unconsciously, feeling like his mouth was going to burst.

"Boy, would you like to give me a letter? I won't snatch this bun." Gu Pei deliberately joked.

"...my mother won't agree." Trying to swallow the buns, Chen Yan was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth sullenly.

"..." Gu Pei didn't know what to say.He didn't understand this group. Those scavengers were not just old people and children, but also many young and middle-aged people. To be honest, if they really wanted to do something serious, it wouldn't be that difficult.At least, it is still possible to sell vegetables and fruits and set up street stalls.It’s just that no one seems to have done this before. I don’t know if the word “picking up trash” has been infiltrated into their bones, or the profits are very high, or they are actually still facing a dilemma that they don’t know about?But no matter what the situation was, he didn't want Chen Yan to continue.He is unable to let Chen Yan go to school now, but he thinks it is very possible to stop him from picking up trash.

"Our family is all garbage pickers." Chen Yan continued, his dark eyes shone with an unidentifiable light, and his words were filled with sadness, "My mother said that picking up garbage can make a fortune. In the past, we Picked up things like gold necklace gems."

"..." Gu Pei looked at Chen Yan and felt that things were not that simple. According to him, he would not care about the few buns he gave him.

"One time my grandma and my father went to the garbage mountain to dig things. The garbage mountain collapsed. My grandma died at that time. My father also went after lying in the hospital for half a year. My mother is not in good health now..."

Chen Yan was crying while talking, and Gu Pei touched his head distressedly, but he didn't know how to comfort him. A patient who has been lying in bed for half a year must have spent all of his family's savings long ago.

"I don't want to pick up garbage, but my mother said that if we find some valuable things, we can go back to our hometown and fix the house."

Gu Pei sighed inwardly. He didn't know how to evaluate such a mother. In fact, she also wanted Chen Yan to live a good life, but she put her hopes on things that were too remote.People don't pay attention to how many valuables can be thrown away, and there are so many garbage pickers in this city.

"...Okay, Brother Gu Pei, let's go to school. I saw people from your school coming." After a long silence, Chen Yan suddenly spoke. He raised his head slightly and showed a silly smile. Feel distressed.

"Do you want to sell newspapers?" Gu Pei withdrew his thoughts and asked again.

"..." Chen Yan lowered his head and did not speak.

It seems that he actually has no objection in his heart.Gu Pei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This weekend, I'll take you to the place where the newspapers are placed."

"But……"

"It's fine to keep it from your mother. When you go out every day, you bring clean clothes and change into dirty ones when you go home at night. As long as you give her the money every day, you should be fine, right?" Gu Pei came up with an idea.The tap water around here is basically public, so there should be no problem with washing.

"I..." Chen Yan was still hesitating, his big eyes, which were made darker by the dirt, flashed a gleam of light, but then fell silent, turning into worry and disappointment.

"Okay, that's it, I'll lend you the money for the newspaper first." After finishing speaking, Gu Pei walked to the school.It's just that it made him feel like he was running away.He has never been so resolute like today, before he just obeyed the will of others.Although what he said just now was beautiful, God knows how nervous he was.He felt that he was a bit self-righteous. People like Chen Yan actually hated being judged by others, but he couldn't convince himself to ignore it. He didn't talk about sympathy and distress for Chen Yan. be friends.
