Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 176 Little Li Zhendong

One day, Jiang Li went out to buy vegetables and came back to find a person lying at the door of her house.

Under normal circumstances, Jiang Li would never dare to intervene, but the child lying in the rain at her doorstep was only eight or nine years old. His clothes were tattered and he was lying on the threshold with his head facing inside. It was unclear whether he was asleep or fainted.

Jiang Li walked forward with an umbrella, squatted down, and pushed gently.

The child didn't open his eyes, but frowned slightly.

Fortunately, I am alive and not dead yet.

Jiang Li reached out and touched the child's forehead, only to find that the child had a fever.

It is raining heavily outside now, and the child is sleeping in thin clothes at the door of her house. If she does nothing to take care of him, the child will probably die.

Jiang Li put away her umbrella, not caring whether she was getting wet or not, and went in with the half-grown child on her back. The child was very thin, and not heavy to carry, so Jiang Li put him on her bed, helped him take off his wet coat, took out a thick quilt to cover him, and poured him a cup of hot water before taking her umbrella and going out to find a doctor.

Jiang Li went to three clinics in the rain and paid a large amount of money for the visit fee before she found a doctor who was willing to see her in the rain. The doctor asked about her general symptoms, brought some medicine that might be used, and then followed Jiang Li out.

When we arrived at the place, we conducted medical examinations, prescribed medicines and fed the patient, all in one go.

The doctor only carries some medicine to reduce fever and inflammation. If you want to regulate the child's body, you have to prescribe other medicines.

Jiang Li didn't have time to go to the pharmacy again, so she asked the doctor to help her prescribe medicine, gave the doctor some hard work fees, and stayed at home to take care of the children.

As Jiang Li wiped the sweat off the child, she thought, this child must be an orphan, otherwise why would he be wandering outside in the rain, wearing such thin and ragged clothes. He is so young, and looks pitiful.

Jiang Li thought that after he woke up, if he had a family, she would send him back. If he was homeless, she would just keep him with her to keep her company, since she was alone in Hong Kong anyway.

but……

Jiang Li has never raised a child, so she doesn't know if raising a child is tiring or expensive.

After taking the antipyretic medicine prescribed by the doctor, four or five hours later, the child finally woke up.

Seeing him wake up, Jiang Li quickly fed him half a cup of warm water. Seeing that he could drink it, she felt relieved and said, "It's good that you woke up. I worked hard for most of the day."

The child was probably confused due to the fever, and asked in a daze: "Who are you?"

"Me?" Jiang Li tucked him in while smiling, "I'm your savior!"

"benefactor?"

"Yes, you fainted at my doorstep and I picked you up. Later I found out you were sick and I called a doctor for you. If I'm not a benefactor, what am I?"

The child was confused for a long time before he remembered that he was hungry and cold and walked on the street and then passed out. He was immediately excited and wanted to get out of bed by throwing off the quilt.

"My benefactor, please accept my greeting."

"No, no, no!"

Jiang Li stretched out her hand to stop him: "You are still sick, why are you worshipping me? I am neither a god nor a Buddha."

"My parents said that people should be grateful. Sister, you saved my life. You are like my second parents. I should pay my respects to you."

Jiang Li sternly refused: "No, no, I understand, just say thank you."

"Then thank you, benefactor."

"Why are you lying at my doorstep? Are you lost? Where are your family members?"

Hearing this, the child lowered his brows and his eyes dimmed: "My parents... are gone."

"Last year, there was an epidemic in the village and everyone in my family died. I was the only one who survived."

"what?"

Jiang Li was shocked when she heard this: "Was there an epidemic in Hong Kong last year?"

The child raised his head and shook it: "Not Hong Kong, I came from the mainland."

"I couldn't find a job in the village. I heard from the villagers that I could make money in Xiangjiang, so I followed them here two months ago. But I got sick a while ago, and I spent all my money and had no strength left. I couldn't find a job, so..."

It turned out to be the case.

That's why he fainted at her doorstep.

"What about your fellow villagers?"

The child lowered his head again in sadness: "They... they thought I was a burden and left me alone and ran away."

After hearing this, Jiang Li felt both distressed and angry. How could those people be so cruel!

Seeing Jiang Li's indignant face, the child quickly explained: "It's not their fault. It's also difficult for them to make a living. It's good enough to have enough food. It's really... they can't take care of me."

Seeing this child so thin that his cheeks are sunken but still speaking well of others, Jiang Li feels so distressed.

"I have an empty house here. If you have nowhere to go, you can stay here."

When the child heard this, he raised his head in surprise and didn't blink for a long time.

"You...are you serious?"

Jiang Li laughed when she heard this: "Do you think I'm lying to you? Although I don't have a lot of money, I still have a way to support you."

"But, we...we have no relatives or friends, why would you help me?"

Jiang Li looked at him seriously. "Do I need to be related to you to help you? Since you collapsed at my doorstep, it means we are destined to be together. Anyway, I live alone now, and the house is empty anyway. It's just one more mouth to feed. I just need to tighten my belt a little bit."

"As long as you don't mind, don't worry about other things."

"No, no!" The child waved his hands repeatedly: "I am grateful enough, how dare I despise it."

"Well, from today on, you will live here. I am a virgin, young and beautiful, and it is not easy to tell others that I am your mother. From now on, we will call each other brother and sister, how about that?"

"Okay, listen to sister."

"Okay...then you..."

"Gulu gulu..."

The sudden noises made Jiang Li forget what she was going to say next. The child suddenly blushed and lowered his head, not daring to raise it again. Jiang Li looked at his flat belly and blushing cheeks, and then she realized that she had been busy talking and had not brought food to the child. She said guiltily, "Oh, look at me, I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to bring you food. Sit down and wait for a while!"

Jiang Li said this and ran away. The child looked at her figure fluttering away like a butterfly, staring at her in a daze. It took a long time before he showed a long-lost smile.

Jiang Li blamed herself for not thinking of it the first time. The child was so thin, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked obviously malnourished. She didn't even think of getting him something to fill his stomach.

Fortunately, Jiang Li was a foodie, and there were always fruit and vegetable snacks at home. There was still half a roast chicken left in the kitchen, and some peach cakes and osmanthus cakes hidden in the cupboard, so she moved them all over to fill his stomach.

The child was a little embarrassed at first, but Jiang Li told him not to be polite. He was really hungry, so after taking a bite, he couldn't bear it anymore and started to wolf it down.

Jiang Li was afraid that he would choke, so she quickly poured him a glass of water: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"No, don't just focus on eating the sesame cakes. There are also chicken legs. Eat the chicken legs too."

While gnawing on the chicken leg, the child couldn't help but burst into tears. Seeing Jiang Li beside him, he was afraid of being embarrassed, so he turned away slightly and wiped his tears with his sleeves.

After the meal, the child pretended to kneel down to express his gratitude, and Jiang Li was so frightened that she quickly reached out and helped him up.

"I will never forget my sister's kindness. If my sister needs me in the future, I will repay her by working like a cow or a horse."

"Okay, okay, don't be so polite."

"Uh...wait, what did you say your name was?"
