Crossing the Unknown Country

The location of this store is really good. Many students going to school in the college pass by this road, and there are many merchants and residents here, so it is easy to find and there are many people.

By the time noon came around, there were fewer people eating, most of them were buying tofu and other soy products, which was fine. The tables and chairs were taken back, and there was enough room for people to sit in the store.

Su He didn't pay attention when she was busy just now, but now she noticed that not far from the store there were beggar children leading people over from time to time. She knew that it was Tang Dabao and others who were helping to lead the way.

Su He saw that there was still tofu pudding at home, so he took a jar and filled it up, and took out a large bag of tofu dregs. He asked them to go to the back door, and then he went to the back to open the door and handed it to them. The two children were very happy, thanked him repeatedly, and left with the things.

As they walked, they turned back and said, "Girl, we'll bring the jars and sheets back in a moment."

Su He smiled and said, "Just return the jars, and I'll give you the sheets as a gift."

She bought a lot of these cloths, and they would be more useful to the children. Su He also often made some cakes with tofu dregs, which were also good things for the children. As long as they could fill their stomachs, they needed them. Beans were very nutritious, so she would just give them more in the future.

The two children were carrying things on the way and met other children who were returning to the dilapidated temple. When they got to the temple, they found some things to make room for and let the older children share the food. They scooped a few spoonfuls of the bean dregs each and ate them directly. The children said it was delicious. The older children left some for Dabao and his friends and took the jar back.

Now, because of the money given by the Su family, these children are very united. They no longer bully each other like before, and they can support each other. Among the older children, Fan Chenglin has gradually become their leader, managing them to eat and share together. It feels much better than before.

When Su He saw Tang Dabao early in the morning, he told him that he would deliver all the firewood he collected here and his family would buy it all. Tang Dabao found another child, Daniu, and bought a broken cart with the money Su He gave him, and the two of them went to collect firewood together. He would deliver the firewood here, and if they couldn't use it all, they would take it to the rich families. He didn't know that a store would need a lot of firewood, and what they collected was not enough.

This way, he would have a stable income every day, and before long, Tang Dabao could rent a shabby house to live in. Tang Dabao followed his friend Daniu to collect firewood. He had watched Daniu for a long time and thought he was more honest. Every time he got more things, he would secretly leave some for him.

Dabao thought that when he had money to rent a house in the future, he would also take the two children with him, so that they would have a small family. The other girl was Xiaotao, who was only four years old. She helped him mend his clothes when they were torn. If he had the ability, he would take such a good girl out of the dilapidated temple, otherwise he didn't know what would happen to her when she grew up.

Anyway, there were always some adults who went to their place to find some older girls to take away, mostly older ones, and the younger ones were all very pretty, and these girls were very happy. Finally they could have enough food, and when they came to pick people, they all brought big steamed buns, willing to follow them, and promised to eat every meal.

Dabao knew that it was impossible. He didn't believe it anyway. When he was a child, his parents taught him not to follow strangers, otherwise he would be sold by human traffickers. After his parents died, he wandered outside. He would rather beg for food than follow others. Even if he often didn't have enough to eat, at least he was free. He would grow up sooner or later anyway.

Later, Dabao wanted to rent a house, but he didn't expect that an older kid, Fan Chenglin, would find him and rent a house together. Fan Chenglin was also introduced to Su Ji by him. Dabao knew that he was too young to be a waiter. Fan Chenglin was three years older than him, and they were about the same age. He also tried to get him and Han Wu to help more, so that the Su family could see if they could find a way to make money.

Dabao trusted the Su family the most. They helped him when he was very young, and their family was not rich at that time. After he started begging, he could accurately judge whether a person was rich or poor by their clothes, and he could also tell their attitude towards him by their tone and expression.
