I sat at Aunt Du's house for more than an hour. She told me a lot of details about the orphanage that Du Fanghua opened. However, she didn't know much about the whereabouts of the orphans after the orphanage was disbanded.
She told me: “Back then, there was a public welfare home in Linhai City, but because it was poorly run, there were not many children in it. In order to save costs, the relevant departments sent these children to the same institution as those in Linhai City.
The neighboring Children's Welfare Home in Tsukishima City, because the welfare home in Tsukishima City was relatively larger at that time and had more children, these children should have gone to Tsukishima City later."
I thought about it, and I thought that if the little girl singing for Ye Xing was really Yang Kexin, then after they left Du Fanghua's orphanage, the first place they went to should be the children's welfare home in Yuedao City. From there, they
They may have been adopted by the Yang family and the Ye family respectively.
However, the Yang family has always lived in S City, the big city where I am, and the Ye family has always lived in Sanye City, a few hundred miles away. So how did the two children meet again later?
I know that Ye Xing later studied at the S City Conservatory of Music, and so did Yang Kexin, but just because they went to the same university, did they meet again after being apart for many years?
I think this possibility is unlikely. Let’s not mention that their names have changed after being adopted by two families. There are thousands of students in a university. In this vast sea of people, they meet again a person who has been in the school for more than ten years.
It is not easy to find a former childhood friend, unless you do it deliberately.
I believe that after many years of separation, there must have been an opportunity that brought them together. Maybe it was because of this opportunity that they came to the city where I live - City S.
But what exactly is this opportunity?
To be honest, at this point, I have vaguely felt that things between Ye Xing and Yang Kexin are by no means that simple. Ye Xing did not tell me about his relationship with Yang Kexin at first. After I accidentally bumped into him in the hospital, he
Only then was he forced to admit that he and Yang Kexin had been lovers since they were in college.
Although I felt that he was hiding something from me at the time, I never expected that he and Yang Kexin had known each other since they were young.
If Ye Xing and Yang Kexin were really just lovers in college, and because both their families were relatively poor, they had evil thoughts and wanted to make some money to spend money, it is possible. At the same time, Yang Kexin wanted to make money with this rich man.
That is, if my ex-husband Deng Wenliang really fell in love with Yang Kexin, then it is possible that Yang Kexin developed real feelings for him. After all, Deng Wenliang was outstanding in all aspects from appearance to ability, and he wanted to capture a man in his early twenties.
It is not difficult for the little girl's heart.
From Yang Kexin's perspective, it would be far more economical for her to defraud Deng Wenliang to spend some money than marrying Deng Wenliang directly, because for a young woman, this is a lifetime guarantee, and as a husband
Generally speaking, Deng Wenliang is outstanding in all aspects from appearance, ability to conversation.
So, if it was the previous situation, that is, Ye Xing and Yang Kexin were just lovers in college, and they conspired to jointly design a plan to separate our husband and wife, but later because Deng Wenliang really fell in love with Yang Kexin, and it was time to give her a
As for her status, then Yang Kexin abandons Ye Xing and completely falls into the arms of Deng Wenliang. This choice is very wise. I believe that smart women will do this.
However, there is a problem here, that is, the premise of this assumption is that Yang Kexin and Ye Xing only met in college, so this kind of relationship is relatively fragile. A young and beautiful girl like Yang Kexin has abandoned the immaturity of her college days.
Lovers choose a successful man with extraordinary temperament like Deng Wenliang. This kind of thing happens everywhere in life, and it is not uncommon.
However, if they are childhood friends who have known each other since they were three or four years old, and they can reunite after so many years of separation, then this relationship cannot be easily destroyed by others, because this relationship
Not only are they childhood sweethearts, but they are also in the same boat. It can be said that their fates have been closely linked.
Therefore, after analyzing these situations, I felt quite scared because I was afraid that Ye Xing was involved in more things that I didn't know about.
At the same time, I also want to solve the mystery of their relationship, because only by knowing their mental journey over the years can I roughly guess their current mental state.
Before I left Aunt Du's house, I asked her for some photos of Ye Xing and the little girl who looked like Yang Kexin together. Aunt Du is a cheerful person. She said that if these photos are meaningful to us, then let's take them.
, after all, she is not familiar with these children, and keeping their photos does not mean much to her.
After expressing my gratitude to Aunt Du, I stood up and left.
When I walked out of the community where Aunt Du and the others lived, I looked at my watch and found that it was already close to noon. I thought about it and bought a few small buns on the roadside to satisfy my hunger, and then went directly to the long-distance bus station to buy some.
I bought a ticket to Yuedao City. I didn’t know why I did this, but my instinct led me to go to the orphanage in Yuedao City where Ye Xing and Yang Kexin were taken in to find out. Even if I just knew
The little bits and pieces of their life there back then can also be used!
With such a mood, I got on the long-distance bus from Linhai City to Yuedao City.
Tsukishima City and Linhai City are not far apart. The bus drove for more than an hour and arrived at the center of Tsukishima City. I got off directly in the city center, then hailed a regular taxi and told the taxi driver that I was going to the child welfare center.
I went to the hospital and asked him how much it cost. The driver thought for a while and told me that it was only a dozen yuan. I got in the car right away.
Sitting in the car, I felt very lucky because I firmly believe that these taxi drivers who have been running in the streets for many years are more familiar with some places in this city than me. Instead of asking around and groping around by myself, I would rather just let them take me.
Go there.
More than half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of a small courtyard in the suburbs. I saw the sign on the door saying Tsukishima City Children's Welfare Home, so I happily paid the fare and got out of the car.
The guard at the door asked me why I came. I told him that a child of my relatives had stayed in this orphanage many years ago. Now I wanted to know what happened to him later. The middle-aged man on guard shook his head and said to me.
: "After so many years, maybe he has been adopted by someone long ago, right?"
I begged him again and again. I just wanted to ask about the situation back then. Could you please let me meet the dean of this welfare home? Finally, the guard told me: "The dean is not here, only Vice-dean Cheng is here. You can find me."
Let’s talk to her.” Then he registered my real identity for me and asked me to go to an office inside to find the deputy dean and ask about the situation in detail.
I followed the instructions of the guard and went to the deputy director's office of this welfare home. After knocking on the door and entering, I saw a middle-aged woman with a serious face sitting at the desk inside. She looked at me as I entered.
He moved from the computer screen and asked me coldly: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
I asked her with a smile: "Are you Vice President Cheng?"
She replied with a straight face: "Yes, what do you want from me?"
I sat down on the chair opposite her, and then explained the purpose of my visit. This time I said that two children of my relatives had been adopted by this orphanage, and now I wanted to know something about their life here.
details, and wanted to know their whereabouts later, and then I showed the deputy dean some photos of Ye Xing and Yang Kexin together.
The deputy dean took the photo I handed over with a straight face, looked at it, and then asked me a few more questions, such as the ages of Ye Xing and Yang Kexin. Finally, she told me expressionlessly:
"Sorry, if they have indeed stayed here, children of this age have already left the orphanage. Regarding their whereabouts and some details of their lives here, we have regulations that strictly keep this confidential, so I cannot tell you.
"
As she said that, her eyes returned to the computer screen in front of her. It looked like she was not going to talk to me anymore.
At that time, I became angry. I sat there in silence for a moment, and then asked the deputy dean: "Do you know whether these children are doing well after being adopted? Have you tracked them? After they were adopted,
Doesn’t it have anything to do with you?”
The vice-chancellor turned around again, still with a cold look on her face, and she said to me coldly: "If they are adopted, they have gone through strict adoption procedures, and their adoptive parents have the responsibility to care for and raise them.
If there is any abuse among them, the relevant local departments will be responsible for supervising it. We have our own jobs and responsibilities, and it is impossible to do everything to the adopted children."
Seeing the vice dean's repulsive character, I didn't want to hear her official talk anymore, so I sneered, got up and left.
***
I took the bus back to Linhai City, and returned to the hotel where Haichao and I stayed. It was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon. Only then did I feel a strong sense of hunger, and only then did I realize that I had arrived since the morning.
I haven’t had much of a good meal now.
Because this time was not yet the afternoon meal time, I didn’t feel comfortable ordering takeout, so I simply took a pack of instant noodles that Haichao and I had brought with us, made a bowl, and ate it hungrily.
While I was eating instant noodles, the tide came back.
As soon as she walked into the room, she saw me sitting on the bedside, wolfing down instant noodles, so she joked, "Hey? What have you been doing all day? Are you so hungry?"
I smiled bitterly at her, and then said to her, "I'll talk to you in detail after I finish eating." Then I asked her, "How did you and your classmate play today?"
