The surrounding people gradually quieted down. They all looked at the ten-year-old boy in front of them and were looking forward to his performance. Changsheng also began to sing a cappella.
The child who left home is wandering outside-
No good clothes, no good cigarettes-
It's not easy to find a job and work hard
Tears in my heart, sweat on my face
The child who leaves home can't sleep at night
Thinking of my parents in the distance, my face is full of tears
Spring has blossomed, autumn leaves are yellow
It's snowing in winter, don't catch a cold
The moon is round, the moon is round, the moon is round, another year has passed
If it's not for this child, I have no worries in my heart
Life in a foreign land is really hard
Yo ~ yo ~ yo ~ it's really hard
Chang Sheng's voice was full of crispness and innocence. The song " The Child Who Left Home " did not match, but it could not hold up to Chang Sheng's adult soul and thoughts. Even if there were too many shortcomings in her voice, her emotions and expression were able to vividly express the difficult scene of a poor homeless wanderer living a difficult life outside.
In the beginning, everyone was just here to watch the show. Most of the hundreds of people here were foreigners. In this era of 2000, going home was full of confidence. Basically, they would leave at the beginning of the year and go home during the new year. In many places with poor transportation, they would only go home once every few years.
As the lyrics of the song were played out, more and more people began to immerse themselves in it. Regardless of age, many people felt sad and cried secretly, not only for themselves but also for their families.
The song was soon finished, but Chang Sheng did not move when he saw the mood of the people around him. He continued singing. More and more people gathered around to watch. Some of them were just curious at first, but after they came, they were all attracted and stopped.
After two rounds, Changsheng held her sister's hand and walked towards the onlookers with a small snakeskin bag. As she walked, she said,""Thank you for watching, everyone. Please be generous. There's no need for too much. A few cents is not too much, and a few cents is not too little. Thank you, thank you…"
He said it over and over again, pulling his sister as he walked past everyone.
Most of the onlookers also generously handed over the name coins in their hands. Some gave one yuan, some gave two yuan, and some gave ten yuan. Most of them only gave fifty cents.
After one round, there were quite a few of them. Chang Sheng pulled her sister back to where she was and bowed to everyone to thank them.
"Thank you for your support. In comparison, many of us are foreigners. Life is too unpleasant, but hope is ahead. As long as we make new progress every day, I hope that everyone can have a better future in their work. Thank you…It's noon now, and it's time for everyone to go eat. We'll part ways here for a short while. If everyone is free tomorrow, we'll meet again here. We look forward to your visit.”Although Changsheng's words were very simple, they were full of truth and reason. Many people only felt that it was pleasant to hear, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true. Life and work were included.
The crowd slowly dispersed, but the old man who set up the stall did not leave. He continued to look at Changsheng.
"Hello, old man. This is the money I borrowed from you just now.”Chang Sheng handed over a five-yuan note, but the old man did not take it.
From the way the old man dressed and looked, Changsheng could tell that this old man's family background was not ordinary. He did not lack this little bit of money.
The old man looked at Changsheng and said," Forget about the money. Can you give me that piece of paper?”As he spoke, he pointed at the white paper with the poem written on it.
Chang Sheng looked at it and suddenly understood. It seemed that this old man was here for this, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
Ignoring the old man's happy expression, Chang Sheng held his sister's hand and squatted on the ground to sort out their gains today. The battle situation was not bad. They earned 150 yuan a day. Compared to picking up trash in the past, they only earned a few yuan a day at most.
He immediately pulled his sister and took the snakeskin bag to the nearby bun shop." Boss, I want ten buns, ten steamed buns, and two bowls of soup."”
"Alright, wait a moment, little friend." The owner's shop was nearby, not far away. When he saw that there were many people, he ran over to join in the fun.
Soon, the food was served. Changsheng took a pair of chopsticks for her sister and picked up a big meat bun for her." You must be hungry. Eat quickly."”
"Yes, yes…" The little girl hadn't eaten meat for a long time. When Changsheng fainted, she didn't eat anything at all. Only this morning, Changsheng cooked some porridge for the little girl and the two of them ate it. The little girl hugged a big bun and ate it until her mouth was greasy. Changsheng was eating a bun at a leisurely pace. From time to time, he would wipe the oil off his sister's face.
"Eat slowly. After you're done, we'll go buy clothes.”Chang Sheng said to her sister gently. The boss was even more impressed by Chang Sheng when he heard that. Looking at Chang Sheng and the little girl, the boss could guess that the two siblings were probably orphans. However, he felt sad for no reason when he saw the ten-year-old brother taking care of his younger sister.
"Brother, you also eat meat buns…" Seeing that her brother had been eating only steamed buns, the little girl seemed to understand something. She was not afraid of the heat and reached out to take a big meat bun for her brother. The stubbornness in her eyes made Changsheng unable to say no to it. Changsheng took the bun and took a bite. The little girl immediately sat down happily and continued to eat. She took a bite and looked at Changsheng.
The siblings quickly finished eating. The remaining steamed buns were taken away and left for the two of them to eat at night. When they paid, the boss kept refusing it as a form of support for the siblings.
However, the two siblings were stubborn people. Changsheng did not accept gifts from others. In the end, he left Shiyuan and pulled his sister away.
He brought his sister to the clothing wholesale market and personally chose a beautiful jacket, trousers, shoes, underwear, and other items for his sister. Fortunately, the items were not very expensive in the year 2000, and they were not branded. In the end, they only cost less than 80 yuan. The little girl was very happy and could not hide the joy in her heart. She held her brother's hand and began to jump up and down as they walked.
He bought some daily necessities and oil and rice before taking the bus back to the suburbs with his sister.
After returning home, Changsheng cleaned up the house and tidied it up. In the end, he found a tattered mat and sat cross-legged on the ground. This was a habit that Changsheng had developed in his previous life.
As the saying went,"Sit quietly and reflect on your mistakes." Although there was nothing wrong now, Changsheng was still slowly sitting down to summarize and understand the information of this society.
The little girl had been fiddling with her new clothes ever since she got home. However, when she saw her brother sitting there motionless, the little girl could not help but find a cushion to sit beside him and imitate him. The big and small pair matched this already riddled house, but it seemed so harmonious.
