TISMML Chapter 45.2

It was less than six o’clock in the evening. It was dark and there were many pedestrians on the street because it was the weekend.

However, the search process was not smooth. Instead, many kind passers-by saw that there were no adults around Fei Yunjin and Li Yibai and took the initiative to come forward and ask if they were lost.

At this time, Nan Yu could only wave her hand helplessly when Fei Yunjin and the others looked over to indicate that there were adults.

“Xiao Bai, why don’t I see a single homeless person?”

Fei Yunjin and Li Yibai had been walking for nearly half an hour. According to Li Yibai’s description, the homeless people were old people wearing tattered clothes.

Both of them had been looking around but couldn’t find an old man who fit the description.

They were carrying a lot of food in their hands. To be honest, their arms were a little sore.

Li Yibai had the same doubts. Obviously, there were many such old people when he was abroad.

Seeing that the two children seemed to be unable to hold on, Nan Yu felt that this lesson was almost over.

She walked forward and took them aside, “Are you tired?”

Fei Yunjin and Li Yibai nodded at the same time.

“Auntie, I’m sorry. We couldn’t deliver the food.”

A trace of disappointment inevitably appeared on the fair and tender faces of the two children. Fei Yunjin felt that he was useless, as he couldn’t do such a small thing.

“Do you know why we couldn’t find anyone to send it to?”

Nan Yu took the two little hands and said, “Because you are looking in the wrong place.”

This is the most prosperous commercial street in the capital, representing a good reputation. Just looking at the patrolling security guards every few steps, you can tell that people who are truly in trouble will not choose to come here.

She took Fei Yunjin and Li Yibai in a different direction, passing through many alleys and lanes. They walked for nearly forty minutes. The surrounding scenery was completely different from what it was just now.

The capital’s famous urban village has to be left as it is for now due to the high cost of demolition and the lack of cooperation from the elderly.

It was the first time for Fei Yunjin and Li Yibai to come to such a place.

The houses were gray and dilapidated, the roads were a bit uneven and narrow, and there were some places where Nan Yun and the other two were not allowed to pass side by side.

But it seemed a little different here.

Twos and threes of old people sat on rocking chairs and chatted together. Under the dim light, a few people were dancing to the music, and there was someone playing the erhu to accompany them.

It was obviously only a small area, but it seemed very lively.

This kind of liveliness was different from the liveliness of the commercial street.

“You can ask those old grandpas and grandmas if they want to eat together.”

To be honest, the economy of China has developed rapidly in recent years. Maybe there are still homeless people in other places, but it is rare to see homeless people in the capital.

Nan Yu knew from the beginning that they would be difficult to find, but it would be nice to take them to see more.

This world is not only filled with big villas and big gardens, but there are also many, or more, ordinary people.

Fei Yunjin and Li Yibai nodded obediently, and under Nan Yun’s encouraging gaze, they walked to the group of elderly people with the largest number of people.

“Good evening, grandpa and grandma.”

“Oh, whose child is this? He’s so handsome.”

“Little friends, where are your parents?”

It must be said that these old people are really enthusiastic. Before the two little guys even opened their mouths to say their purpose, they were already surrounded by various questions. They also enthusiastically took out small stools for Fei Yunjin and the others to sit on.

After a lot of effort, both of them finally had a chance to speak.

Fei Yunjin spoke first.

“Grandpa and grandma, this is what happened. Xiao Bai and I ordered a lot of food but didn’t finish it. Auntie told us not to waste it, but we really can’t eat any more. Can you please share this food with us, grandpa and grandma?”

After speaking, Fei Yunjin also raised the bag in his hand.

“Hahaha, so that’s it.” The old people all laughed.

“Auntie is right. We can’t waste food.”

However, at this point in time, they had just finished dinner and felt a little powerless.

“By the way, ask Old Sun. He must not have eaten yet.”

“And Old Liu. He probably hasn’t eaten either.”

After saying that, without waiting for Fei Yunjin and the others to react, the old man immediately opened his throat and shouted: “Old Sun! Old Liu! Come here! I’ll treat you to dinner!”

“I’ll go call Sister Wu again. She probably ate steamed buns again.”
