Theoretically, there are still a small number of adults in society who come from orphanages, but basically no one has heard their voices recalling their childhood.
The reason is also very simple. Few children who came out of the orphanage are willing to mention their past, whether they were adopted or grew up in the orphanage.
Although Xu Ran was not the one who actually grew up in the welfare home, those memories are clearly visible in his mind, and Xu Ran feels the same way.
Xu Ran looked at the sparse flow of people walking on the street. Several old people on the street were obviously impressed by Xu Ran, and they all smiled. Especially when they saw Liang Da sitting next to him, their eyes had different thoughts.
Thinking about it now, Xu Ran felt that he could not see through Liang Da more and more.
At first, he thought that Liang Da was just a free-spirited girl who loved romance and freedom. However, as he gradually got to know her, he discovered that in some ways she was just like an ordinary girl.
I have to say the most peculiar thing about her is that her attitude towards love is surprising. Sometimes it makes Xu Ran wonder if she is really old and cannot understand the young people's view of love.
Maybe he really wanted to ask what Liang Da's attitude towards love was.
After all, after such contact, he has always been in a state of doubt about what Liang Da said, and then Liang Da treated him like this. Does he really like himself, or is she just joking?
"How about... let's make a deal?"
Liang Da raised the corners of her mouth and smiled charmingly: "Is this transaction serious?"
Xu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You should be less aggressive. You were not like this when you were in the classroom."
"That's different. In the classroom, when you are facing children, you can be a little less formal."
"Actually, this deal is nothing. You answer a question for me, and I answer a question for you. How about it?"
Liang Da was obviously taken aback, because the conversation seemed a bit familiar...
"Of course it's no problem." Liang Da thought quickly. She was also curious about what questions Xu Ran would ask her. After all, when a man has doubts about a woman, he is also curious about the woman.
"Why don't you ask first?" Xu Ran seemed very gentlemanly at this time.
"Well..." Liang Da finished smoking the last cigarette and didn't think for too long: "Actually, there is no need for other questions, just what I asked just now. Do you have anything to do with this orphanage? I think you have something to do with it.
The people here are so familiar.”
Xu Ran was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.
"Actually, I am a child who grew up in Tianci Welfare Institution."
Liang Da couldn't help but narrow her charming eyes. She had made this guess when she read the information yesterday, but she was not sure. Maybe Xu Ran was just fostered and raised in an orphanage, or for other reasons.
When she got this answer, Liang Da felt strange and uncomfortable in her heart, which made it difficult for her to understand.
"Isn't this right?" Liang Da's expression control has always been very good, and it soon turned into a normal smile: "You said that children before the age of six are the most likely to be adopted. Look at how you look now
, you must have been pretty good when you were a kid, let alone your grades."
Xu Ran smiled and shook his head: "When I was brought back to the orphanage by Aunt Chen, I was already seven years old. I was not young. Although I later got excellent grades in elementary school, my family outside didn't take it seriously. After all, in elementary school
Results mean nothing."
"Is there no family that has ever thought of adopting you?"
"Yes. After I got good grades in the high school entrance examination, many parents came to Tianci Welfare Home to look for me, but I rejected them all."
Liang Da blinked and wondered: "Why?"
"Because Aunt Chen is very good to me, and she has stayed in the orphanage for a long time, and she regards it as home, so she doesn't have such a big need for other emotions."
Liang Da nodded silently, and then asked: "Speaking of the children playing alone outside the yard, some of them look younger than six years old. Why are they not in the classroom?"
"Some of the children adopted by the orphanage have physical problems or some congenital diseases." Xu Ran supported the steps with both hands, tilted his head back and looked at the sky. The sunlight was not dazzling, but it made him squint slightly.
: "The orphanage cannot cover up the diseases of children, and the parents of families who come to the orphanage to adopt children also have the right to know all this. Therefore... no one will adopt children with physical problems."
Liang Da felt helpless from Xu Ran's words, and looked at his expression and felt a little empathetic.
Maybe Xu Ran became so good not by chance...
In fact, Liang Da was not particularly clear about the situation in the orphanage. She only did a temporary search on the Internet yesterday because she predicted that Xu Ran would come here.
However, what she saw online was different from what she actually said, which made Liang Da curious.
"What should we do if those children with congenital diseases cannot be cured?"
"Children with diseases that directly endanger life and health are unlikely to be adopted by orphanages...but it's not that they have never happened, but their endings are not very good."
Xu Ran recalled something and sighed slightly: "There have always been many problems in the welfare home, but people outside are not aware of it."
Liang Da approached Xu Ran slightly, smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch Xu Ran's nose.
This intimate gesture made Xu Ran sit up straight quickly.
Liang Da obviously didn't care about her actions at all, and comforted: "It doesn't look easy... By the way, what problems will there be in the orphanage? In terms of food and use?"
"For example, food, housing, medical care, education, etc." Xu Ran found that other elderly people on the street had obviously been paying attention to them. They even saw Liang Da's intimate movements just now, which made Xu Ran feel a little embarrassed.
Lower your cheeks.
He coughed: "In terms of diet, everyone barely eats enough, let alone nutrition; we live in Datongpu, with more than 20 children sleeping in one room; in terms of medical care, we have only received vaccinations."
, I took the pills given by my aunt when I had a high fever. If I was seriously ill, I could only be sent to the hospital, leaving the rest to see my fate. As for education... As long as you are not adopted before the age of six, Aunt Chen will contact the school for everyone. After all, there is nine years of compulsory education.
."
"I remembered that every time a family adopted a child, Aunt Chen would tell the child with serious words that no matter what happened, no matter how sad it was, no matter how unhappy the adoptive family was, she would not be able to return to the orphanage even if she was beaten to death."
...
...
I don't know why, when talking about the strange and familiar memories, Xu Ran seemed to be sorting them out slowly, and said a lot unknowingly.
Liang Da sat quietly next to Xu Ran, her short hair gently flipped, a slight smile on her pink lips, and her charming eyes never leaving Xu Ran.
She just sat there, leaning slightly sideways, like an obedient child, listening very seriously to Xu Ran's memories of the past.
It wasn't until Xu Ran reacted that he realized that he had said too much.
He deeply doubted whether seeing Liang Da's gentle and kind side towards the children in the classroom made him less wary of Liang Da.
