Volume 1 Chapter 0081 Red Bean
Xu Xiaofang has a thin face, dull skin, two pigtails, and is holding a child in one hand. Her face looks a little nervous and confused, but she doesn't look shy.
In this era, once rural girls have children, they basically no longer show any shyness on their faces.
Being shy is a right unique to young girls.
The boy Xu Xiaofang was holding with her left hand was called Fan Qianye. He had a delicate appearance, dark skin, and bright eyes with a hint of shrewdness. However, Nan Yi did not see any symptoms of malnutrition in him.
The girl Xu Xiaofang is holding on her right hand is called Fan Hongdou. Her skin is abnormally white, and a ponytail brings her hairline up high. Her eyes are also bright, and her eyeballs are clear and transparent, not cloudy at all.
He grabbed a handful of what looked like soil in his hand and stuffed it into his little mouth bit by bit.
Nan Yi quickly formed a first impression of the three people:
Xu Xiaofang is a typical rural woman. Fan Qianye is a smart child, but he is probably rebellious and useless. Fan Hongdou is a promising person and will be loyal to anyone who treats her well.
"That's right, she should be my biological daughter who has been lost for ten years." Nan Yi said secretly.
Honest, kind, easy to talk to, Nan Yi hastily put these four labels on his face, smiled as brightly as possible, and said: "Hello sister-in-law, my name is Nan Yi, she is Hongdou, right?"
"Hello, she is my daughter Hongdou."
There was no panic in Xu Xiaofang's words, just a hint of embarrassment in front of a stranger.
This is an extroverted woman. With a little training, she can develop into a business-oriented talent. Nan Yi was silently evaluating her in his heart.
"Sister-in-law, come in and sit down. Feiyang, help sister-in-law with her luggage."
Nan Yi sent Xu Feiyang to do the hard labor and took Xu Xiaofang into the courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down."
After asking Xu Xiaofang to sit down at a table in the yard, Nan Yi went into the house and brought out a kettle, a few tea cups, and a tin can.
When Fan Qianye saw the tin can in Nan Yi's hand, his eyes suddenly lit up and he pursed his lips subconsciously. It was estimated that saliva was already secreted in his mouth.
Nan Yi watched Fan Qianye's actions and remained calm.
He placed the cup on the table, poured tea into it, opened the lid of the jar, and pushed the jar toward Fan Qianye. "Calcium milk biscuits, they taste great, have some."
When Fan Qianye heard this, he reached into the jar with his dirty hands with dirt under his nails.
"Is it dirty?"
Xu Xiaofang patted Fan Qianye's little hands and pushed the tin can to the middle, "Comrade Nan, you should grab a handful."
"Oh, it's okay. I just bought them because I knew you were coming today. I don't eat cookies and there are no children at home. Chiba, eat."
Nan Yi encouraged Fan Qianye with his eyes.
As soon as he saw the biscuits, Fan Qianye couldn't help himself. He didn't even look at Xu Xiaofang's expression before grabbing them.
"His aptitude is average, and his ambition is probably greater than his ability." Nan Yi updated his assessment of Fan Qianye in his mind.
Fan Qianye grabbed the biscuit and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
He stuffed two pieces into his mouth and there were still some in his hands. However, before he could swallow the ones in his mouth, his little dirty hands grabbed two more pieces from the jar to keep his little hands full.
Taking his mind off Fan Qianye, Nan Yi looked at Xu Xiaofang and said, "Sister-in-law, is the dirt in Hongdou's hand the one she eats?"
"Yes, that's the kind of soil."
"You must have brought it. Let me see it."
"good."
Xu Xiaofang responded and grabbed a handful from her pocket and put it on the table.
Nan Yi looked at it carefully. The soil looked no different from ordinary soil, except that the color was slightly darker, but it was not black soil.
There was nothing strange about it, so Nan Yi picked up some soil with his fingers, put it into his mouth, and licked it with his tongue to feel its taste.
He couldn't describe what the smell was, but he could roughly tell that it was slightly different from ordinary soil and the muddy smell was not that strong. He didn't know which chemical element was contained in a high content in it.
"Fei Yang, did you tell your sister-in-law about my last guess about Hong Dou's situation?"
Xu Feiyang said: "I have already said that."
"Well, sister-in-law, although I am not a medical student, I am now basically certain that Hongdou's illness is physiological. There is an element in her body... a nutrient that she needs to absorb by eating this soil."
"Well, is there any doctor?"
"I can't say for sure. I'll take a day off the day after tomorrow and take her to Rockefeller Hospital for a checkup." Nan Yi went back to the room and took a glass, then put the dirt on the table into the glass. "I'll take this to the hospital for testing the day after tomorrow."
"Nan Yi, can you get a number at Rockefeller?"
"If you turn a corner, you can still find someone you know to help you, don't worry. Sister-in-law, you just got here, you are exhausted, go to the bathhouse first to take a bath and get rid of your fatigue.
Feiyang, take your sister-in-law with you. While you are taking a bath, I can buy some food and cook. When you come back, you will have something to eat."
"good!"
After Xu Feiyang and others left, Nan Yi also walked towards the nearest grocery store with a basket.
Along the way, he was also thinking about Fan Hongdou.
It would be best if her pica can be treated, but if it cannot be treated, it is no big deal. Just customize a nutritious food that is very similar to mud to replace it, and thus eliminate the side effects.
Pica does not affect your IQ or life, it just makes you look strangely at others.
With alternative nutritious foods, you don’t even have to deal with the strange looks.
What’s wrong? I like to eat this. Is it okay to be addicted?
"For now, Fan Hongdou is worth spending 500,000 yuan on. I will observe slowly. If she is worth my huge investment , I can set the investment limit to 10 million yuan."
If Nan Yi still has a lot of emotional feelings for Liu Zhen and Nan Ruoyin, then as for Fan Hongdou, it is a relatively naked and pure investment behavior for the time being.
I invest in you and train you. If you remain loyal to me in the future, I will give you a return that is higher than you deserve.
To put it bluntly, it was a transaction that spanned several decades.
It is simple to say it is simple, and it is complex to say it is complex.
In this kind of transaction, Nan Yi will adhere to the principles of fairness, justice, freedom and non-disclosure.
When it comes to trading partners, he will only look for those who, according to their original established trajectory, will end up in tragedy or mediocrity.
Ask yourself, is Nan Yi taking advantage of others?
I think so.
But we have to ask the children who are about to be exploited, are they willing to be exploited by Nan Yi?
Not to say 100%, but it’s 999% so long that there’s no end in sight.
In this world, is there anyone who is born content to be mediocre?
Nan Yi has never done statistics or sample surveys, but he dares to answer for anyone - No!
It is not the people who are content with mediocrity, but age.
Those who are content with mediocrity are nothing but scars covered by the whip of society. They are left far behind in the competition. Reality gives them a big slap in the face, points at their noses and calls them waste. When they look back in their old age, they find that their efforts have not been rewarded as they should have been.
So, feeling disheartened, I comfort myself: A simple and ordinary life is the real life, and it’s still a lifetime no matter how you live it!
