Chu Yizi looked at him timidly and swallowed, "My name is Huo Yijue."

Guard Yao's eyes lit up.

"What about your parents? What are their names?"

"Mom and Dad..." Chu Yizi lowered his head, "My mom's name is Huo Yinzhu, and as for my dad... I don't know either. I've never seen him."

His little head hung down alone, like a lone grass in the wilderness, facing the strong wind and rain on its own.

Guard Yao felt a touch he had never felt before, a concern that came from deep within his blood.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that the child in front of him was also his own flesh and blood.

He squatted down like before, looking at Chu Yizi tenderly, his tone much softer, "Yijue, tell uncle, why did you come to me to borrow money?"

Chu Yizi looked at him, then looked at the closed store door in the distance, as if he was relieved, and said:

"Because of others... I don't dare. I'm afraid they will beat me."

"Hit you? Who hit you? Why did they hit you?"

Chu Yizi raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes wide open as if he had thought of something horrible.

"A lot of people... I, I don't know either. They all say that I'm a bastard and don't deserve to live in this world."

Hearing the three words "little bastard", Guard Yao frowned, feeling inexplicably harsh.

Although he had no feelings for the child in front of him, blood is thicker than water after all. He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he heard him being called like that.

But even so, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid that I will beat you?"

Chu Yizi looked up at his face and immediately shook his head, "Don't be afraid, I don't know why, but when I see you, uncle, I feel very close to you, as if you are my family."

His eyelashes are long and thick, and the tears hanging on them are sparkling.

"Family?" Guard Yao raised his eyebrows. "Don't you have any family?"

Chu Yizi shook his head, then nodded, "I have family, but only my mother."

As he spoke, his tone gradually became lonely, "Others hate us..."

Guard Yao paused.

After a brief silence, he suddenly asked: "Do you have a place to live now?"

"We?" Chu Yizi pointed at himself. "Me and my mom? We've moved many times."

At this point, he opened his eyes and laughed, "But it doesn't matter, I have learned several ways to cook potatoes, and they are all delicious."

"Potato?"

"Yes," Chu Yizi said with a smile, "We eat potatoes every day!"

Guard Yao was stunned again and remained silent for a long time. "You only have potatoes at home."

Chu Yizi instantly became excited, "Uncle, how did you know? That's amazing!"

Guard Yao stood up with a complicated expression.

After looking at the store entrance a few times to confirm that Yao Wang had not come out, he took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Chu Yizi.

He spoke faster and said, "Take this money first."

Chu Yizi's eyes widened. "No, no, no, that's too much, uncle. I don't need so much when I take the bus."

As he said this, he handed the extra money back to Guard Yao and said, "I only need this two-cent note, and I will return the money to uncle tomorrow."

"I owe you this, you don't have to pay it back." Guard Yao had a complicated look on his face.

"Also," he glanced at Yao Wang who was coming out of the store and about to run towards this side, "Tomorrow afternoon, come to this place and wait for me."

Chu Yizi nodded as if he understood, and saw Guard Yao quickly running back to where he had just been.

-

The next afternoon, as soon as Chu Yizi entered the community, he saw a figure standing in the place where he and Yao Weibing had agreed to meet yesterday.

Guard Yao has arrived first.

He didn't bring Yao Wang today and was dressed more formally.

As Chu Yizhi walked over, Wangcai asked in confusion, "Host, why did he ask you to meet him?"

Chu Yizi spread his hands and said, "You'll know when you get there."

"uncle!"

Chu Yizi ran over with a banknote in his hand, sweating on his forehead. "This is the money you borrowed from me yesterday. I'm returning it to you!"

Then he raised his hands and handed the banknotes in his hands to Guard Yao.

The banknote was wrinkled and a little damp because Chu Yizi had been holding it in his hand for a long time.

Guard Yao took it in a daze, unfolded and folded the banknote, and took out a leather wallet from his inner pocket.

His eyes accidentally swept across the photo of a family of three with smiling faces that had been posted just a few days ago, and he was stunned for a moment.

I remembered how Yao Wang complained this morning about the crab roe cakes from the recently opened shop not being tasty and asked the driver to go buy them ten kilometers away. Then I looked at Chu Yizi who was sweating profusely in front of me.

Guard Yao felt mixed emotions for a moment.

They are obviously their own children, but they live very different lives.

He squatted down and raised his hand to rub the other person's head, but Chu Yizi dodged in shock, "Don't hit me!"

Guard Yao paused, stiffly withdrew his hand, moved to Chu Yizi, and asked gently, "Your name is Huo Yijue, right?"

Chu Yizi nodded.

"Don't worry, uncle won't hit you."

Chu Yizi put down his hands that were covering his head and looked at him cautiously.

Guard Yao was not in a hurry. He opened the briefcase tucked under his arm and took out an envelope.

According to Chu Yizi's observation, Guard Yao was quite generous.

"Give this to your mother, okay?"

There was a hint of confusion in Chu Yizi's eyes.

Guard Yao then came closer and said, "Actually, your mother and I are classmates. I asked you to come here today because I want you to help me pass this letter to her."

"Classmate?" Chu Yizi looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, we haven't been in touch for a long time. Your mother will know after reading the letter."

*

Chu Yizi gave the letter and the money to Huo Yinzhu.

I don’t know how the two people discussed it, but Huo Yinzhu, who had originally been determined not to take Yao Weibing’s money, accepted it after going out and meeting him.

Ever since Weibing Yao met Chu Yi, he would often find time to meet him.

Every time I see him, Chu Yizi can always earn a lot of money with his excellent acting skills.

Not only that, after a while, Huo Yinzhu also quit her job in the factory with Chu Yizi's encouragement and started designing her own clothes.

Although life was hard, with the support from Yao Weibing, their lives were much better than before.

During the initial period, Huo Yinzhu did not receive many orders, only a few sporadic ones.

However, with Chu Yizi's encouragement, she did not lose heart and continued to design and make each piece of clothing carefully.

From neighbors to co-workers, and then to people who came here because of its reputation, the "Yinzhu" brand finally gained some popularity.

Until one day, Fang Mulin's parents came to visit Chu Yizi to thank him.

Fang's mother, Lu Xiuzhen, who also had insights into clothes, fell in love with Huo Yinzhu's design at first sight and ordered several pieces on the spot.

After Huo Yinzhu gave her the ready-made clothes, the two became good friends.
