The little girl's voice is very nice, clear and sweet, giving people the feeling of being like a pearl falling on a jade plate.
"Little sister, come to uncle."
Li Zhen smiled and waved.
The little girl was not wary. She walked up to Li Zhen, raised her head, and shouted: "Uncle." Li Zhen felt pity for him and looked at the little girl in front of him as if he was seeing his own daughter. He reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, and asked with a smile: "Little sister, what is your name."
The little girl blinked her big eyes and replied: "My name is Ding Ling, the Ding of A, B, C, D, and the bell of Ding Ding."
Li Zhen asked again: "Can you write your own name?"
Xiao Ding Ling nodded heavily and said: "Yes, yes, my father taught me to write. I can write my own name, and I can also write my father's name. Well, I can also write my mother's name."
Li Zhen praised: "Xiao Ding Ling is really awesome. Tell me, uncle, how hard is it for you to wander around with your father?"
Xiao Ding Ling scratched her head, suddenly laughed, and said: "It's not hard, dad likes me very much. Well, dad also worked hard. Yesterday, dad was scolded."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, looked at the man playing the erhu, shook his head and smiled.
My daughter is so smart and sensible, but it’s a pity that the man in front of me...
Li Zhen turned his eyes to the man playing the erhu and said calmly: "As a man, you have to stand upright and take care of your family. If you are alone, no one will care about you, let alone playing the erhu, even if you go begging on the street, but You already have your own daughter and your own family, how can you continue to wander?"
"For yourself, for your daughter, and for little Ding Ling's future, you should find a legitimate job to support your family. Today, it is no longer the time when the Manchu emperor was in power. At that time, there were exorbitant taxes and heavy taxes, and life was not easy, but now the conditions Now that you are better, you can go home and farm, or you can leave your hometown and go to Guangzhou to work in a factory. As long as you work hard, it is impossible for people to starve to death. A man as big as you will definitely be able to survive and live well."
After a pause, Li Zhen said again: "There is only so much I can say, the rest is up to you."
The man playing the erhu had a bitter expression and opened his mouth, but when the words came to his mouth he retracted his words and did not speak.
Li Zhen snorted and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any difficulty? Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you are willing to do it, you will always find a way out. The so-called difficulty is that it is difficult to be trapped at home. If you go out, you will be fine. If you don't When you are thirty years old, you have hands and feet, and you have to sell and sing along the railway carriages one by one. Are you shameless and don't care about your daughter who is growing up?"
"thump,."
There was a muffled sound, and the man playing the erhu knelt directly on the ground.
"Daddy."
Ding Ling also knelt down and was about to cry.
Li Zhen was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
The man playing the erhu kowtowed to the ground and said loudly: "When the train conductor came over just now, he saw that the people around you looked cautious. The train conductor and everyone around you were like this, so your status must be noble. Incomparably, the villain guesses that you must be a high-ranking official in the country. Sir, it’s not that the villain doesn’t go out to look for work, it’s that he can’t find it at all.”
Li Zhen frowned and asked, "Why can't I find it?"
The man playing the erhu took a deep breath and said, "Sir, my name is Ding Ruchang, and I am from Lujiang County, Huizhou."
"Your name is Ding Ruchang."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, with a strange look in his eyes.
Ding Ruchang asked: "Sir, do you know me?"
Li Zhen shook his head, waved his hand and said: "There is a person I know named Ding Ruchang, but he is very different from you. He is a hero of the country, but you are far behind. Okay, let's continue." At this moment, Li Zhen The historical Beiyang Navy Admiral Ding Ruchang came to mind. The historical Ding Ruchang was also from Lujiang County, Anhui. If calculated based on age, he would be similar to the person in front of him.
However, it was impossible for Li Zhen to express his thoughts, and Li Zhen also felt that the Ding Ruchang in history should not be as useless as the Ding Ruchang who is performing in front of him.
Ding Ruchang in history was a sonorous man who would rather die than surrender.
Ding Ruchang continued: "I am from Lujiang County, Anhui. My father's name is Ding Canxun. I make a living by farming. When I was a child, the Manchu emperor was still in power. You know that when the Manchu emperor was there, there were heavy taxes and heavy taxes. It was almost difficult to live in farming. , so when I was very young, I went out to help people herd cattle, herd ducks, ferry boats, etc. In the first year of Xianfeng, a serious famine occurred in the Lujiang area. The villain's parents died of illness one after another, and I was all alone. "
Speaking of this, Ding Ruchang looked regretful and said: "In the third year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army occupied Lujiang. I had no choice but to join the Taiping Army. I followed the Taiping Army to station in Anqing and became a subordinate of the Taiping Army general Cheng Xueqi. Unfortunately, The Taiping Army did not last long and was quickly defeated, and I was once again displaced and wandering."
"Because I joined the Taiping Army, I was regarded as a traitor by the folks in my hometown. It was difficult to find a place to live. No one wanted to talk to me at all. The previous land had been lost long ago and I couldn't survive at home. I went to Guangdong several times. , tried to enter the factory, but after mentioning his identity, he was fired. Sir, you are a person with status. Please help Ding Ruchang change his place of origin and start a new life."
After listening to this, Li Zhen was greatly moved.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of me was Ding Ruchang, the admiral of the Beiyang Navy in history.
Unfortunately, his identity has undergone a huge change.
In history, after leaving the Taiping Army, Ding Ruchang became an official of the Qing Dynasty and finally took charge of the Beiyang Navy. However, Ding Ruchang in this life did not have that opportunity. After the collapse of the Taiping Army, he directly became homeless, and Ding Ruchang became homeless again. Because of his status as a former Taiping soldier, he was discriminated against and found it difficult to go out to work.
Li Zhen can imagine that there are many people like Ding Ruchang who were once part of the Taiping Army. It must be difficult for them to live because their former identities have led to changes in their lives. This means that once you become a thief, you will never be able to escape your identity as a thief. .
"Uncle, please help daddy."
Little Ding Ling knelt down and knelt on the ground, crying until the pear blossoms were wet with rain.
Li Zhen continued: "Get up."
Ding Ruchang looked surprised and asked, "My lord, I agreed."
"Yeah~" Li Zhen nodded.
Ding Ruchang kowtowed quickly, and little Ding Ling beside him also thanked him quickly. After thanking him repeatedly, the two of them stood up. Li Zhen thought about it and said, "I have a lot to do when I go south to Guangzhou, and I also need help. Please stay with me." An errand boy."
"Yes Yes."
Ding Ruchang was excited, thinking that he had met a noble person.
Not far away, Duan Kezheng and the gorgeous woman heard the conversation between the two parties, but neither of them interrupted. Their eyesight was no worse than that of Ding Ruchang. They saw that the guards who had taken action earlier sat obediently next to Li Zhen and did not dare to interrupt, knowing that this was the case. There were bigger people in the car, and obviously, these people were beyond their ability to offend.
