"Er dogs and E dogs are not loved by anyone. They are not cared about by their own mother. They don't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. They have to go up the mountain to chop firewood every day..."
There was a little boy in the village. Others called him E Gou. Because he didn't know his mother's surname, he could only take his father's surname as Chen, so he named himself Chen Er. In fact, based on those words, he didn't know whether they meant E Gou or not Er.
Chen E thought that he was not expected to live in this world. His grandmother scolded him for being unlucky every time she saw him. His father got drunk and took it out on him. His so-called stepmother even wanted to throw him away again and again. Even the children in the village knew that he was unfortunate. She would sing unpleasant words to him when he passed by and throw stones at him...
Chen E lived for many years. Only the seemingly crazy old man at the end of the village and his dog named Xiao Hei were kind to him. They took him home to cook for him, invited him to live together in a shabby house, and taught him to write his name - Chen E, hoping that he could stay away from bad luck. But then Xiao Hei disappeared, the old man turned into a pile of dirt, and he was alone again.
Until one day, a woman who said she was his aunt suddenly appeared in his life. He could see that she didn't like him and wanted to take him away. Anyway, life would not be worse than now, so he left with her.
From that day on, Chen E had a new name, put on new clothes, ate delicious food, went to the playground that his peers talked about, and even carried a small schoolbag and went to school...
