When he saw them, he couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately raised his walking stick and swung it at the little girl, berating her, "What kind of trouble did you cause this time, little girl?"

Yi Zihan anxiously grabbed his walking stick: "Old man, you misunderstand!"

Looking at the thick stack of money, the old man looked at Yi Zihan worriedly, "Why is there so much? It's not worth the money, take it back. Consider those flowers our gift to you. Please forgive the child if he or she has committed any immoral acts. "

There was a smell in the air that was so stale and rotten it made one want to puke.

Even worse, there was an old woman lying motionless in a pile of tattered cotton wool on a big bed, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open, unresponsive to their arrival.

"Sit!" Sit down! Girl, hurry up and boil the water! " The old man greeted him warmly.

The little girl happily agreed. She ran to a small stove in the corridor outside and squatted down to open the door.

During their conversation with the old man, Yi Zihan and Xia Zhi learned that this was a tragic family.

His daughter-in-law died in childbirth on the operating table. His son had gone mad from then on and never came back after running out. Until now, no one knew if he was still alive or if he was still alive.

The two of them had no choice but to rely on minor labor to take care of their children, but a few years ago, the old man's wife accidentally fell and knocked her head on the stone steps outside the door. At that time, a large amount of blood was lost and after being sent to the hospital, although she managed to survive, she became a vegetable.

All the burdens were placed on the old man alone. Under all the helplessness, the old man could only go out to pick up some garbage to subsidize his house. However, the junk he had was simply worthless now, he could not even buy a kilogram of meat after painstakingly searching outside for an entire day.

After hearing the neighbors say that selling flowers could earn some money, she decided to let the kids sell flowers with her and let the family survive with difficulty.

At the end of his sentence, the old man sadly raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, "I also feel sorry for my child. I also hope that my child will have new clothes to wear during the new year and be able to happily go to school while carrying his school bag. I know better that in this era, if you don't read, you will go into a vicious circle, and you will be poor for the rest of your life. But what could he do? I'm old and useless, and I don't know how long this life will last. If I die one day, then so will the old woman in the bed. It doesn't matter if we die. The only thing that worries us is our children. When I think of how she would live in this world alone and alone, I can't rest in peace! "

The little girl who was sitting at the door waiting for water to boil suddenly stood up and threw herself into the old man's arms while crying, "You're not allowed to talk about death! What are you doing? "Woo woo …"

"If you don't die, you won't die." Grandpa won't die! Grandfather will accompany you forever! " The old man held the girl tightly, tears streaming down his face.

When Xia Zhi heard this, she was extremely saddened, and said in a low voice, "Don't cry. We will help you! "

Yi Zihan also said, "Tomorrow, I will contact the street office and tell them about your situation so that you two elders can have a lower guarantee. As for the children, I will immediately contact the school. In short, no matter what problem we have, we will help to solve it. "

"Yes." I'm a real estate agent. I can provide you with a house for free, and at the same time, I can help you to get someone to take care of Grandma. Xia Zhi said eagerly.

"This... How could this be allowed? How could I stand such a huge favor? What kind of reward would I and I get? " The old man stared blankly, not daring to believe his own ears.

"We are just doing what we can without asking for any return from you. If there is, then the two of you will be able to live a healthy life without any worries, and the children will be able to study and live a life like normal children. That would be the best reward for us. " Xia Zhi said with teary eyes.

"Yes. You mustn't have any psychological burdens. What we have done is completely within our capabilities, so it will not cause us any trouble at all. "

"You are really living Bodhisattvas! The heavens have finally opened their eyes! " The old man was so excited that he stood up and was about to kneel down.

Yi Zihan and Xia Zhi anxiously supported him, "Grandfather, you can't! "You're taking away our lifespan!"

The old man's tears flowed incessantly as he desperately pressed the girl, "Kneel! Kneel before big brother and big sister, they are your reborn parents! You must not forget your roots when you have a future. You must repay them properly.

The girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yi Zihan and Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi anxiously pulled her up, and tightly hugged her, and said to the old man: "Grandfather, you really don't need to be like this. I am an orphan. If you must feel that you need to pay me back, then consider me your granddaughter, her elder sister! "

"Then... Isn't that a high level? " The old man said with a trembling voice.

"It's my honor to have a family for me." Xia Zhi felt extremely bitter in his heart.

During this New Year, she suddenly missed her mother and brother, so she sent Ah Zheng to send them the money. However, when Ah Zheng returned, he said that she could not find them.

The neighbors said that they had moved away long ago. No one knew exactly where they had moved to.

They disappeared suddenly, like a wisp of smoke, and disappeared without a trace.

She naturally understood that they probably knew that Pei Yaochen was a strong character and was afraid that they might get into some trouble, so they might as well disappear.

On the surface, she looked impressive, but in reality, she was riddled with holes, as though she was a lonely ghost …

It was because of this that he treasured his only remaining friend so much.

Was it precisely because of this, that made her heart feel as if it had been cut by a knife, when she had severed her relationship with Yi Zihan?

"Such a beautiful lady like you is actually an orphan?" The old man didn't dare believe it.

"I'm not lying to you. So, if you don't mind me, please treat me as your granddaughter and let me offer my filial piety to you and grandma to help your little sister! " Xia Zhi said sincerely.

"Such a beautiful and kind girl like you being my granddaughter is something that I've been hoping for for for several lifetimes! I'm just afraid that I'll feel wronged, so why would I turn my back on you?" The old man excitedly took her hand.

The little girl happily opened her arms and hugged them, smiling happily. "That's great! I already have a sister! I am no longer alone! "

Seeing the three people tightly hugging each other, Yi Zihan was incomparably moved.

At this time, the little girl reached out her hand to him, "Big brother, you should come over and give me a hug as well! We're a family too, aren't we? "

Yi Zihan nodded, took a step forward, spread out his arms and embraced all of them together, as he whispered into Xia Zhi's ear, "Congratulations on finally having a home."

With a chuckle, she slowly closed her eyes as two streams of clear tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

His embrace was so warm, so firm and reliable. She really wanted to stay in his embrace forever …

Yi Zihan and Xia Zhi were the people who took action. That night, Xia Zhi called Ah Zheng to ask him to send a car to pick them up.

After working busily the whole night, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the clean and spacious house, Xia Zhi saw the old man's happy smile and her heart became soft.

Ah Zheng bought breakfast, and after everyone had gathered around a table to eat, Xia Zhi let the old man and young girl, who had been tired for an entire night, rest while he and Yi Zihan and himself went to shop.

After another busy day, the originally empty house finally looked like a home.

After dinner, Xia Zhi and Yi Zihan bade farewell to the old man happily.

Xia Zhi turned and smiled at Yi Zihan, "Thank you."

Yi Zihan looked at her deeply, "It is I who should be thanking you. You gave me an excuse to spend more time with you. I'm grateful, really. "

His words caused her to feel pain once more. To her, staying with him for even a second longer was unattainable!

However, this kind of beauty was too short-lived to be seen. It was as if she had spent so much effort to steal it, but she had no choice but to give up because she was afraid of being caught …

Xia Zhi took a deep breath and said: "It's getting late, let's part ways here!"

"I'll send you off!" Yi Zihan anxiously said.

"No need. Let's part here! After all, there's one other thing. It's better to get it sooner rather than later. " Xia Zhi shook his head and waved, "Goodbye."

She tightened her coat and walked forward, head bowed against the wind.

"Goodbye..." Yi Zihan said hoarsely, he slowly turned and walked in the opposite direction, completely forgetting his own car by his side.

He walked step by step, silently counting.

This was because in the young love movie they had watched together, when the hero and heroine had finally broken up, the boy had turned his head just in time to see the girl turn her head as well.

The moment their line of sight met, they frantically rushed towards each other.

Could they do the same?

He carefully counted step by step, full of longing. When he had walked a hundred steps, he suddenly stopped and turned around. What he saw was desolation.

Without her.

She was really heartless …

Yi Zihan couldn't suppress the pain in his heart, and his vision became more and more blurry.

He thought that this time, he really had lost her.

He had been extremely cautious in the past, but his greed had completely destroyed everything ….
