The reason why Xie Chu was worried that his father would starve to death at a young age was because the original owner often mentioned in front of him that there was no work now, and the father and son would beg for food soon.
The small crew that the relative was in was filming an ordinary small web drama. The Hengdian studio is also very dilapidated. The security guard at the gate is an old man. He would lie on the rocking chair and leave without even looking.
In the client's memory, the actor was later exposed to black material, and this web drama was not successfully broadcast because the actor who played the villain had black material.
At that time, the actor beat the child directly and sent him to the hospital, and he also paid some extra money. The client took his son to heal and did not pursue it after he was cured for the sake of money. He didn't say a word.
Not to mention asking for justice for this matter.
Xie Hui looked at the little boy in his arms. He had just passed his third birthday, and his eyebrows and eyes were very delicate, tender and cute, and he had a very pleasing appearance.
It's just that now the small eyebrows are wrinkled together, Xie Hui couldn't help but feel a little funny looking at the frowning look, and asked in a low voice:
"What are you thinking about?"
"Father, if you won't let me get beaten, what shall we eat tomorrow?"
Thinking of his father saying that he didn't even have a red one in his pocket, Xie Chu sighed very melancholy.
"Why don't we go pick up the trash now. You see, there are a lot of people drinking in this weather. Let's dig through the trash can. We should be able to pick up a lot of bottles."
Xie Chu thought he had come up with a good idea, hugged his father's neck and looked at him expectantly, wanting his father to put him down.
Xie Hui thought about it carefully, the original owner really didn't have any money on him now, the total was less than two hundred yuan, which was not enough to find a place to live.
The original owner began to drink heavily after his wife divorced him, and he had not worked for too long, and his physical fitness was not very good. After holding the child for a while, he began to pant.
Xie Hui found a place to sit on the bench by the side of the road. Xie Jia, who was sitting on his lap, was still looking for a trash can. When he saw someone throwing a bottle in it, his eyes glistened, and he turned his head to look at it. One glance at his father, eager to try is written on his face.
"Chu Chu, what if Dad is hungry now?"
This kind of opening, Rao Xie Hui now also finds it a bit difficult to handle. Coupled with the irregular work and rest of the original owner, this dizzy head seemed to explode. When sitting here resting, he wanted to tease his son.
"Well, then I'll go pick up plastic bottles now."
Xie Hui put his arms around the son's waist, preventing him from jumping out of his arms.
"Now eat a child to satisfy your hunger?"
Saying that, Xie Hui leaned over to stare at his son's baby fat, rubbing the tip of his nose as if to smell it.
"Then Dad, you can't finish eating, I, I'm not afraid of pain."
The words Xie Chu said had no credibility, his voice was full of crying and trembling, and his eyes were moist, as if he would cry in the next second.
"Aren't you afraid of pain?"
When Xie Hui asked this sentence, Xie Chu was already in tears, but still nodded very firmly.
"Yes, yes, I am not afraid of pain."
Xie Hui stretched out his hand to rub the back of his head, hugged him tightly in his arms with a low laugh, and said helplessly:
"Just kidding, just such a precious son, how could he be willing to eat you up."
Xie Chu stared at his father with rounded eyes in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses, leaned against his father's arms, and burst into tears. After crying, he wiped his tears with the back of his little hand. Only then complained:
"Woooo dad is bullying people."
Xie Hui reached out to help him wipe away the tears that hadn't been wiped clean with his fingertips. He didn't deny it, but nodded seriously, and began to apologize to him.
"Well, it's Dad's fault. Dad shouldn't bully Chu Chu. I'm sorry."
Xie Chu, who was covering his eyes with his hands, opened the gaps between his fingers a little curiously after hearing what Xie Hui said, and looked at his father curiously through the gaps.
In fact, just after he said his accusation, Xie Chu himself was already a little scared. The last time he said that his father smelled bad of smoking, his father scolded him severely.
Today, Dad just said a few words about himself, and he just talked to Dad like that, Xie Chu was still a little worried, whether Dad would be angry with him.
"Eh?"
"It's okay."
Seeing the curious look of the cub, Xie Hui hugged him and stood up, walking in another direction.
Fortunately, although the relative was a bit arrogant and bragging, after bringing the client, father and son, to the big city, he didn't let them go.
The dilapidated hotel outside Hengdian, the relative helped them pay for the room for three days, and now they can stay there for the last night.
Xie Hui also thought of this incident just now, fortunately he still has this, so he won't sleep on the street tonight.
When Xie Chu was held in his father's arms, his eyes were still full of curiosity, and he kept staring at his father with his arms around his neck. Today's father seems to be very different. He will talk to himself well, apologize to him, and hug him away.
Xie Hui knew that the kid's eyes had been on him all the time, but he didn't look at him, he just silently thought about the way out for the future.
When life is unsatisfactory, people always need to find a point to vent, and in most cases, this point is the closest person.
Even relying on the care of those close to him, knowing that they will not be angry with him, he becomes more and more unscrupulous.
The most common ones are parents who work hard all day, are embarrassed by their superiors or clients, and come home to find an excuse to reprimand their children. The same is true for clients.
Xie Chu recognized that this was the way back to the place where he lived, sighed helplessly, and was not curious about his father's change, but began to worry about how they would eat.
"Dad, let's get up early tomorrow to pick up plastic bottles, okay? I can go with Dad."
When Xie Chu said this, they happened to pass by a construction site. After Xie Hui took a glance, he turned his head to look at the child who was being held by him, pointed there with one hand and said:
"Look there, Dad will go tomorrow and ask if there are any temporary workers there, and he should be able to do so."
Construction sites usually occasionally recruit some workers who move building materials, but the manual work has no technical content, and they work hard for some money. Although the money is not much, it should be a good way out for them at present.
If a person wants to live, as long as he is willing to give and is not afraid of suffering, there is always a way.
Xie Chu hugged his father's neck tightly, leaned his head on his father's shoulder, sighed, and then whispered:
"But Dad said, it's very tiring to make money there. Dad, why don't you send me to be beaten, I really don't mind the pain."
He didn't believe the thank you, he teased him by saying that if he bit him, he would be frightened with tears in his eyes, no wonder he wasn't afraid of pain.
"Dad, I can go by myself."
Although Xie Chu enjoyed being carried away by his father, he also knew that he was no longer a child, and his father would be very tired in holding him, so he slipped from his arms after struggling.
After standing on the ground, he stuffed his little hand into his father's palm, and smiled at him when his father looked over.
Xie Hui didn't force it. After his wife divorced him, the original owner's life was turned upside down day and night. In addition, he smoked and drank heavily. After holding him for a while, he began to pant heavily.
"Do you know why dad works so hard to make money?"
"I know, because Dad is all for me."
Mentioning this, Xie Chu's head drooped, a little disgusted with why he made Dad so tired.
"no."
Xie Hui's rebuttal made Xie Chu raise his head curiously, and stared at his father.
"Because Dad didn't study hard before, if he didn't work hard when he was studying, he can only work hard now."
The client always habitually vented all his misfortunes on this child who was just over three years old.
Why is dad so tired? It's because of you, if it wasn't for your father, he wouldn't be so tired.
Using love as an excuse, Xie Chu became a shackle and put it firmly on Xie Chu's body. The child who was only over three years old was so sensible.
"Um?"
It was the first time for Xie Chu to hear his father say this to himself, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. How could this be different from what his father had told him before.
"So Chu Chu must study hard in the future, so that he won't know like Dad when he grows up?"
Xie Hui rubbed his head with his other hand, and Xie Chu began to walk on tiptoes, so that his head could rub against his father's palm.
"I will definitely study hard in the future, and when I grow up, I can make my father not work so hard, right?"
On the way back, Xie Chu was full of books, which is really a good thing.
The proprietress of the small hotel was sitting at the front desk knitting a sweater. When someone walked in, she took a look and found that it was a familiar guest, so she lowered her head and continued knitting the sweater.
Xie Hui went to the client's room according to the client's memory, and frowned uncontrollably when he opened the door and saw the layout of the room.
He doesn't have any serious cleanliness, and he doesn't have high requirements for the quality of life, but the brown marks on the bed in this small hotel make him very uncomfortable.
Xie Chu was not picky, so he moved a stool for his feet, picked up the electric kettle from the cabinet, and wanted to get some water to boil.
Noticing his action, Xie Hui strode over and snatched the kettle from his hand. Xie Chu, whose hands were suddenly empty, stared round, standing there a little at a loss.
I was still a little scared, afraid that my father would start reprimanding myself for moving too slowly like before.
Xie Hui put down the kettle, hugged Xie Chu, who was standing on the stool, in his arms, and rubbed his hair that felt good to the touch.
"If you want to drink water, tell Dad that children can't touch electrical appliances. Electricity is very dangerous, you know?"
"Why is it dangerous, Dad?"
He has obviously used it many times before, just put the kettle down and press a button to boil it, which is not like what Dad said.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xie Hui took out the client's mobile phone with a broken screen from his clothes, and looked for some photos of people injured by electric shocks.
"If you get an electric shock, this is what it looks like. The whole body will be burned and it will hurt."
Electric injuries can also be classified into severity, but it is obvious to tell the child in the most serious direction, so as to scare him.
It hurts to hear it, but even though Xie Chu is still fine now, he was shaking uncontrollably.
Xie Hui patted his back reassuringly, put the phone aside, and glanced at the electric kettle on the cabinet. There was a lot of dust on it, and it had been used by many people.
"Father, go and boil the water. What if you get thirsty later?"
After breaking away from the situation where he was just frightened, the little boy couldn't help but start worrying again.
"We don't need a kettle today, let's go buy some water."
As soon as he heard that he was going to buy it, Xie Chu subconsciously took out ten yuan from his coat pocket, jumped out of his father's arms, and before he went out, his father grabbed the clothes at the back of his neck, making him twist subconsciously. Too much.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
The more Xie Hui thought about what the original owner had done, the more he couldn't help feeling a little headache. I don't know how the original owner managed to let such an older child go out of the hotel by himself to buy water from a small shop.
"The next time you go out, remember to ask Dad to go with you."
"Why? Dad has worked very hard, that small shop is so close, I know the way."
When talking about this, Xie Hui could still see a little pride on the kid's face.
Xie Hui looked at the heartless look of this little brat, and couldn't help but reached out and knocked him on the head. Xie Chu covered his head almost subconsciously, and tears came out instantly.
"Dad, why did you hit me?"
"Next time you go out, you must remember to be with Dad. What if someone trafficker sees you look good and kidnaps you?"
"What is a trafficker?"
Xie Chu held his head with both hands, afraid that his father would hit him again, but he still asked curiously.
"Human traffickers are the kind who specialize in stealing children to sell. If you are abducted by human traffickers, you may never see your father again."
Xie Hui held his hand and told him about this while walking out.
"If you are abducted by human traffickers, you may be sold to a very poor place as a child for others. They may also dig up your organs to sell. They may even break your legs and ask you to find them on the street. Others want money."
It's not that Xie Hui is deliberately scaring this cub, the dark side of a person can refresh the lower limit again and again. The real situation will only be 10,000 times more terrifying than what he said.
"So if you want to go out next time, you must remember to know it with Dad?"
Xie Chu, who was frightened by what Xie Hui said, hugged his father's wrist with both hands, and nodded very seriously.
"Understood, I will be obedient and not run around, I don't want to be someone else's son."
When Xie Chu talked about this, Xie Hui could feel that the client in the system space couldn't help crying.
In this situation, most people will say what they are most afraid of, for example, don't be broken and beg for food. And now the cub he is holding is the most frightening thing for him...
It turned out to be someone else's child.
