Liu Xiaoxing did not expect that this old gentleman would be so stubborn. Just when he was about to speak and continue to persuade, the butterfly girl on the side suddenly saved her grandfather with excitement and interjected: "Grandpa, you are a big fool. !You don¡¯t understand anything at all! Ifif you don¡¯t accept your elder brother¡¯s kindness and stop going to the doctor, youyou may really die! I won¡¯t let you die, grandpa! I want to be with grandpa forever Together, I have no other relatives except grandpa. If you really leave, grandpa, I will really become a wild child that no one wants. I don¡¯t want to be a wild child. I only think of your good granddaughter, grandpa. , Grandpa, just accept big brother¡¯s kindness! Accept it! At worst, you can wait until Girl Die grows up to repay big brother¡¯s kindness!¡±
Liu Xiaoxing was both touched and surprised that a little girl under eight years old actually said such touching and mature words.
The old man who was hugged by Die Yatou was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes slowly turned red. After a long timehe sighed: "Oh!~~~Okay, the old man will be thick today. I have the nerve to accept your kindness, sir!"
After saying that, the old gentleman actually wanted to kneel down to Liu Xiaoxing. Liu Xiaoxing was so frightened that she quickly held his arm, lifted his body up, and said angrily: "Uncle, what are you doing? I'm not helping you." I sympathize with you, but as your granddaughter said, I don¡¯t want such a well-behaved and sensible butterfly girl to become a wild child without her grandfather!"
"In that case, then" The old man turned to his granddaughter and said, "Why don't you quickly kowtow to your eldest brother and say thank you?"
"Hey! This is" Liu Xiaoxing felt a little headache after hearing this and wanted to stop the other party's kindness again.
But when Liu Xiaoxing opened her mouth, the old man immediately pushed back: "Sir, if you don't even accept Girl Die Die's thanks, then I'd rather die, old man!"
Liu Xiaoxing had rarely seen such a stubborn old man. He sighed helplessly, nodded and said, "Okay then!"
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoxing faced Butterfly Girl with a dumbfounded look and endured her three very serious nods.
"Uncle, are you okay?" Just when Liu Xiaoxing was helping Die Yatou up, he suddenly heard a nervous greeting from outside the house, and then saw a middle-aged woman rushing in with an anxious and worried expression.
When she happened to rush in and saw Liu Xiaoxing helping Girl Die, she was immediately stunned for a moment, then looked at the old man with a slightly dull expression and asked: "Uncle, what is going on ?Didn¡¯t you say that Die Yatou¡¯s parents are dead? Just now I heard a big noise coming from your side in the store, so I came over to take a look! "
"Thank you for your concern, little girl, old man, I'm fine!" The old man said, turning and pointing at Liu Xiaoxing, and explained with a smile: "This is not Girl Die's father, but the big brother she just recognized!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoxing turned around and looked at the middle-aged woman, dumbfounded. He stretched out his right hand and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Xiaoxing. I don't seem to be that old, right?"
Because Liu Xiaoxing¡¯s back was turned to this middle-aged woman before, she did not see Liu Xiaoxing¡¯s appearance clearly, so she misunderstood that he was Die Yatou¡¯s father. When she saw Liu Xiaoxing¡¯s young appearance, she immediately smiled with embarrassment. He smiled, then shook hands with Liu Xiaoxing and said, "Oh oh oh! Sorry, sorry, my name is Zhou Dafang. People here call me Sister Dafang. Did something happen here just now?"
Zhou Dafang's inquiry made the old man a little confused. After looking at his granddaughter who looked a little strange, he interrupted and said: "What can happen here? Just a few vicious dogs came and almost scared my butterfly girl. Her brother helped her out!¡±
"Oh! So that's what happened!" Zhou Dafang is usually careless and not good at using his brain. After hearing the old man's words, he was no longer suspicious: "Since everything is alright, I will go back first!"
Seeing that Zhou Dafang cared so enthusiastically about himself and Girl Die, the old man immediately stopped her and invited her warmly: "Since you're already here, why are you going back? Just let your mouth guard your small shop. It just so happens that I have to cook something to eat, so you can just stay and have a light meal!"
"Isn't this bad?" Zhou Dafang looked at Liu Xiaoxing and felt embarrassed to have such a stranger around.
Liu Xiaoxing had a very good impression of Sister Da Fang at first sight. She could rush over just by hearing any noise. It is rare to see such a warm-hearted person like her nowadays, not to mention that she, Die Yatou and the rest of the family are all There is no blood relationship, just a relationship between nearby neighbors.
So Liu Xiaoxing also started to persuade.: "Yes, Sister Dafang, it's better to come early than to come by chance, so I might as well stay and have a light meal. Anyway, I'm also a foodie, and I'm embarrassed to have food alone. If you join me, I'll be lucky enough." Get a companion!"
Zhou Dafang is not a hypocritical person. After hearing Liu Xiaoxing's words, he no longer hesitated to refuse, "Okay then! Hehe!"
Later, while the old man was getting food, Liu Xiaoxing chatted with Die Yatou and Zhou Dafang. Through the chat, he learned that Zhou Dafang had always taken care of Die Yatou, especially when Die Yatou's grandfather was seriously ill. , and even send some food over from time to time. And Zhou Dafang's family is not very well-off. The whole family relies on a small store to support themselves. If this store is not located near the pedestrian street, the business is not bad. I'm afraid it is not as good as Die Yatou's family. Not much better.
After Liu Xiaoxing learned this, her impression of Zhou Dafang, a neighbor who was not related by blood to Die Yatou's family, suddenly came to her mind: "Since her family runs a store, why not help her?" Make this store bigger!¡±
Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoxing asked tentatively: "Sister Dafang, is your store open at the entrance of the pedestrian street?"
"Yes!" Zhou Dafang nodded and replied.
"Oh, is that so? Sister Dafang, have you ever thought about increasing the size of the store?" Liu Xiaoxing continued to ask.
Zhou Dafang nodded again and replied without hesitation: "Of course I have thought about it. I have had this idea for a long time. After all, there are still a lot of people coming to our store, but if we want to grow bigger, we don't have to do that." Funds, after all, the shops on the left and right are too expensive.¡±
There are snack bars on the left and right sides of Zhou Dafang's shop. The business used to be pretty good, but since the Dog Uncle Roujiamo shop opened in the middle of the pedestrian street, it has completely taken away most of their business. Now it is basically just They can only maintain a living standard, so the two snack bars have long planned to sell off their stores. It's just a pity that the transfer fees of these two stores are too expensive. Zhou Dafang's family, let alone the two, are selling off. , I guess I can¡¯t even afford half of the family.
After Liu Xiaoxing learned these reasons, he immediately said with a smile: "It turns out that those two snack bars are about to close down because of 'Dog Uncle Roujiamo'? Then have you ever thought about joining 'Dog Uncle Roujiamo'?" Where¡¯s the snack bar?¡±
Zhou Dafang was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Of course I have thought about this, but I asked about the franchise fee, which is about 100,000 yuan. Our family simply cannot afford this money!"
Liu Xiaoxing had known for a long time that Zhou Dafang and his family did not have the money to join the franchise, so he deliberately asked this question, and said with a smile: "What if I can help you save the franchise fee?"
"Save the franchise fee?" Zhou Dafang was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses after a while. He looked at Liu Xiaoxing with doubts and surprise in his eyes: "You can't you be serious? It's really okay. Will you save us the franchise fee?"
Liu Xiaoxing smiled and nodded, then glanced at the cute butterfly girl beside him and said: "I am related to the owner of Uncle Gou Roujiamo Shop, so this problem is not a problem, and not only does it save the franchise fee, I can also pay to help you buy nearby shops!"
"But" Liu Xiaoxing hesitated deliberately, and then glanced at Die Yatou again.
