Chapter 4125 Grocery Store

I wonder if the man and his friends have found the little girl?
Has the little girl returned to her family?
……

Xiao Xiao did not turn around and leave.

Now that you have come...

Xiao Xiao took a step forward and withdrew his gaze from the Epiphyllum.

Speaking of which, the girl’s friend must be someone who likes Epiphyllum.

Otherwise, how could one recognize that this very ordinary potted plant is the famous Epiphyllum?
……

Xiao Xiao pushed the door open.

There was no sound.

The store was also very quiet.

It makes people feel a little nervous for some reason.

Xiao Xiao walked into the store.

The rows of shelves in front of him made his eyes light up slightly.

He had a thing for grocery stores.

As a child, he always went to a grocery store near his home.

He likes that grocery store very much.

Even though that grocery store looks old and unattractive in the eyes of ordinary people.

The store was dimly lit.

Many items also looked tattered.

But he felt that the grocery store was like Doraemon's treasure bag, containing all kinds of things that were hard to imagine appearing in a store.

When you go shopping at the grocery store, you never know what you might find in the next second?
Even though I am a regular customer of this grocery store.

But occasionally, he would be delighted to discover new objects.

……

The sense of anticipation and freshness makes people like it very much.

……

pity.

The grocery store closed when he was in junior high school.

The store that reopened after a while was no longer the grocery store it used to be.

He regretted it for a while.

It's inevitable that I stop when I pass by that store.

pity.

The grocery store never came back.

……

Before today, he didn't even know there was a grocery store here.

Grocery stores will also slowly disappear in the long river of time.

After all, people nowadays prefer specialty stores.

convenient.

……

Xiao Xiao glanced around the store.

An old man with gray hair, legs crossed, wearing reading glasses, and looking seriously at the newspaper in his hand, was sitting behind the cashier counter.

He paid no attention to the new guests.

……

Xiao Xiao smiled.

He walked forward.

Customers in the grocery store...

Xiao Xiao took a look.

As expected...very little.

The guest he had just seen coming in passed by him.

In just a short time, I finished exploring this store.

……

Xiao Xiao looked at the items on the shelves.

a lot of……

Many commodities cannot be said to bear the traces of time and the sedimentation of humanities.

All I can say is... worn out.

One can't help but wonder if such things can be sold?
Xiao Xiao smiled.

No wonder the guest just now left in a hurry.

……

Xiao Xiao did not feel disappointed.

The same was true of his first impression of the grocery store in his past memories.

But soon, his impression changed.

For him, the grocery store became a place full of novelties and fun.

……

Hey?
Xiao Xiao's eyebrows curved.

It seems that grocery stores have also become places that bring luck.

……

Xiao Xiao saw a small figure squatting on the ground.

It's a little girl.

Logically speaking, he would not be able to confirm the identity of the little girl just by looking at her back.

However, he saw a familiar object on the little girl's head.

The hairpin he once saw on Nannan’s head.

Nannan must like this hairpin very much.

So always wear it.

It is a hairpin in the shape of a little rabbit.

Covered with shiny sequins.

A faint light flashes in the dim environment.

……

Xiao Xiao walked up to the little girl.

"Nannah."

he called out.

……

Unexpectedly, his voice scared the little girl.

The little girl trembled violently.

"Bang~"

The little girl's head hit the shelf above her.

The little girl moved her head.

The rabbit hairpin on her head was rubbed off.

Rolled under the shelf.

……

"Well……"

The little girl squatted on the ground with her head covered.

……

"Does it hurt?"

Xiao Xiao squatted down in front of the little girl. "Sorry."

"I scared you."

"Let me see if you're injured..."

Xiao Xiao gently held the little girl's wrist.

I wanted to pull the little girl's hand away and look at her head.

……

"What's wrong?!"

The noise here was so loud that the boss behind the cashier counter was almost jumped out of his seat in fright.

He threw the newspaper aside.

Get up quickly.

As a result, I forgot that I was crossing my legs.

I almost tripped over myself.

He put his hands on the cash register and managed to steady himself.

……

The boss was a little frightened.

He paused for a moment before hurriedly heading towards the direction where the sound came from.

……

The scene was fairly clear.

The boss understood and asked, "Did the child hit his head?"

……

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

"I just made a noise and scared the child."

……

"Is the child okay?"

The boss expressed concern for the child.

He looked at his shelves again.

Well.

His shelf seemed just a little askew.

Nothing serious.

……

"fine."

Xiao Xiao looked at the child's head carefully.

He gently stroked the child's hair with his hand.

of course.

He was careful not to ruin the child's hairstyle.

Although the child's hair was a little messy because of the collision just now.

Xiao Xiao helped the child tidy up his messy hair.

……

"Does it still hurt?"

Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at the child.

……

The little girl nodded with a tearful look on her face.

The corners of his eyes were wet.

That was the moment the collision happened, and the little girl burst into tears instantly.

it hurts.

She still felt a dull pain from the hit on her head.

……

"fine."

Xiao Xiao gently rubbed the child's head.

"It won't hurt after a while."

He understands the child's feelings.

Everyone should have had similar experiences.

The most painful part is the moment of collision. As long as there is no wound left afterwards, the pain will gradually disappear.

……

"Here."

Xiao Xiao took out a few candies from his pocket.

"What flavor do you want?"

……

The little girl's attention was immediately attracted by the candy wrapped in shiny candy wrapper in Xiao Xiao's palm.

……

The boss smiled and shook his head.

It seems that there is no place for him here.

The boss turned around and slowly walked back to his seat.

……

"Can't decide?"

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Then I'll give it all to you."

……

The little girl's eyes lit up.

"really?"

Can she have both?

……

"of course it's true."

Xiao Xiao motioned to the little girl to stretch out her hand.

After a slight pause, the little girl did as she was told.

Xiao Xiao gently placed a few candies in the little girl's small palm.

……

The glass candy wrapper made the little girl's palms feel itchy.

The little girl's hand shrank subconsciously.

The light in his eyes was bright and cheerful.

……

"Want to get up?"

Xiao Xiao extended his hand to the little girl.

……

The little girl clasped her palms together.

She stretched out her other hand and held Xiao Xiao's fingers.

The little girl's hands are too small.

He couldn't even hold Xiao Xiao's hand.
