Chapter 454: Old urchin

"Don't be angry, Grandpa is making a joke." The old man walked over to hold Wu Tian's arm after he said this. "Young man, thanks to you for helping us, grandpa and grandson, this time, I would like to thank Lu Dingquan."
After saying this, the old man bowed deeply to Wu Tian to express his gratitude.
"You are too polite." Wu Tian hurriedly held the old man's body and said with a smile: "With a little effort, you really don't have to be polite with me."
"For you, it's a simple task, for us it's a life-saving grace." Lu Dingquan grabbed Wu Tian's arm, "Go, go to my house, I want to thank you very much."
"Really don't need..."
"I must thank you." Lu Dingquan said involuntarily, taking Wu Tian's arm and walking towards the bus stop.
"I, this..." Wu Tiansheng was uncomfortable and turned to look at Lu Xiaomei, "Actually, I really don't need to thank me."
"Since my grandfather invited you to my house, don't refuse." After Lu Xiaomei said this, she moved her head over and whispered: "It seems that my grandfather likes you very much. You will help me to persuade him later. advise."
"Persuade what?"
"Let him not come out for fortune-telling and deceive people in the future, lest he be beaten to death."
"Oh, okay!" Upon hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't say much, so he had to follow his grandson towards the bus stop.
The three of them took the 59th bus and came to Sun City Community.
"Young man, we live on the third floor, let's go." After Lu Dingquan said this, he walked upstairs first.
Regardless of his age, his bones are very strong, his face is not red or breathless when he walks, and his steps are very steady.
Soon I went to the third floor. After the door was opened, I saw all kinds of broken copper and iron in the room, most of which were picked up from the garbage dump.
There is no decent furniture in the room, the cabinets are very tattered, and the lamps are rusty and look very old.
"Sit down." After entering the door, Lu Dingquan greeted Wu Tian to take his seat, and then instructed Lu Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, don't be shocked, make tea for the guests."
"Ok!"
Lu Xiaomei nodded and started busy making tea.
After Wu Tian sat down on the dilapidated sofa, he couldn't help but ask: "Right, where are Xiaomei's parents?"
"Hey!"
Lu Dingquan sighed softly and said in a low voice: "When Xiaomei was very young, her father died of illness, and her mother ran away with the rich, leaving Xiaomei, and I was an old man who raised her."
"Xiaomei is really pitiful." Upon hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't help feeling pity.
"My old man doesn't have any financial resources, so I can only get some money by cheating and deceiving, renting a house here for Xiaomei to go to school, and my life will be tight." At this point, Lu Dingquan felt sad.
"So that's it." Wu Tian nodded in understanding.
No wonder Lu Dingquan licked his old face and went out to bluff, just to earn tuition and living expenses for his granddaughter.
"I'm so old, I don't have much ability. I can only let Xiaomei follow me and endure hardships." Lu Dingquan gritted his teeth and said heartily.
"Xiao Mei should be lucky to have such a good grandfather like you." Wu Tian smiled and relieved.
At such an age, it is really not easy to pull the granddaughter for him to study. To be honest, it is really not easy.
"Fortunately, Xiaomei is eager to learn, she is not only good at studying, but also well-behaved, sensible and obedient. Whatever I do is worth it." Lu Dingquan raised his mouth, and his face was filled with relief.
At this time, Lu Xiaomei brought the hot tea over, "Student Wu, drink tea."
"Thank you!" Wu Tian took the tea cup with both hands and said with a smile: "Don't be busy, sit down."
"Yeah!" Lu Xiaomei nodded, sat down next to her grandfather, and winked at Angel Wu.
Wu Tian immediately understood it and put down his teacup to persuade Lu Dingquan: "Master, you are a lot of age, so don't go out to give fortune-telling anymore."
"How can I make money without this?" Lu Dingquan gritted his teeth, looking helpless.
If he has money for his granddaughter to go to school, he naturally does not want to pretend to be deceived.
"You don't need to worry about money." Wu Tian took out a bank card from his pocket and put it on the table. "There is a little savings in the card, enough for your grandparents to spend a while."
"That won't work."
Before Lu Dingquan could speak, Lu Xiaomei resolutely expressed opposition: "If there is no merit, we can't collect your money."
"There is not much money in the card, it's just a little bit of my mind." Wu Tian couldn't help but want to help Lu Xiaomei's poor life.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaomei was determined and refused to accept this card.
"Even if we die of poverty or starvation, we won't accept your charity." Lu Xiaomei raised her face and spoke very firmly.
She was even a little angry, feeling that Wu Tian was humiliating her.
"Without money, how do you survive?" Seeing Xiaomei so determined, Wu Tian's heart was touched.
"Don't worry about this. I have already applied for a bursary from the school. Don't worry about the tuition fees in the second half of the year, and I can make money by doing part-time jobs after school, enough to live with my grandpa." Lu Xiaomei said seriously.
"..."
Wu Tian didn't speak, looking at the beautiful and small girl in front of him, his heart was greatly moved.
Unexpectedly, this girl is so self-reliant and self-reliant at a young age, and this determination not afraid of difficulties is admirable.
When the atmosphere was at a deadlock, Lu Dingquan couldn't help but digress: "Young man, if you really want to help Xiaomei, then you can be her boyfriend, so as to protect my family Xiaomei."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about!" Lu Xiaomei blushed, glaring at Grandpa a little angrily.
I don't know what's going on, grandpa always messes up the mandarin ducks, and always puts her together with Wu Tian.
She knew Wu Tian for less than an hour, so she didn't know how embarrassing it was.
"Grandpa is kidding, why are you so anxious!" Seeing the granddaughter's anger, Lu Dingquan hurriedly changed his words.
Lu Xiaomei gritted her teeth and warned her grandfather: "Grandpa, you are not allowed to joke about this kind of thing in the future."
"Okay, Grandpa won't be joking in the future." Lu Dingquan stretched out his right hand and promised as if.
"Also, you are not allowed to go out to give fortune-telling in the future."
"Well, I'll listen to you, and I won't go to fortune-telling in the future." Lu Dingquan promised with a smile: "I will go out picking up trash to earn pocket money in the future. Is this always okay?"
"You can do anything, anyway, you can't pretend to be deceived."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lu Dingquan promised for a long time before saying to Lu Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, go cook and eat, grandpa is hungry."
"Then you wait a moment, I'll go cook now." Lu Xiaomei finished speaking, twisting her waist and walking towards the kitchen.
"You also fry some of our sausages and make an egg soup. Let's leave Xiaotian for dinner at home."
"Got it." After Lu Xiaomei answered, she got busy in the kitchen.
Lu Dingquan found a pack of melon seeds from the cabinet and greeted Wu Tian with a smile, "Come on, let's knock the melon seeds."
"You are too polite." Wu Tian smiled, and accompanied the old man to knock the seeds together.
