Of course, I'm not here to adopt her, but to help her find a good family.
Of course, I didn't mention this to her now. After all, her father was still alive and she didn't know her father's situation yet.
After sending her back to her residence, I went with her to help her feed the chickens and ducks, and then picked up her schoolbag before locking the doors and windows and leaving with me.
I drove directly back to my residence. Of course, I also greeted An Lan in advance and asked Aunt Wang to cook two more dishes in the evening.
At the same time, I also asked Xiao Siya and Anal about their situation.
She told me that she was now stable and had been transferred to a general ward, but she was still very weak and she planned to take care of her in the hospital.
It is said that best friends are infighting and sowing discord, but between Xiao Siya and Anal, what I see is pure friendship.
After returning to the residence, An Lan was drying clothes on the balcony, Aunt Wang was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiao Man was reading in the living room.
After hearing the sound of my return, An Lan immediately looked towards the door and then walked towards us.
As soon as she saw Li Ruixue, she greeted her warmly: "Li Ruixue, right?"
"Hello, aunt." Li Ruixue hurriedly said to An Lan with a smile.
"Hello, come on, come in."
After An Lan welcomed Li Ruixue in, Xiao Man immediately raised his head and looked at Li Ruixue.
An Lan then said to Xiao Man: "Xiao Man, this is my sister."
"Hello, sister." Xiaoman was also very polite.
Li Ruixue smiled and looked a little embarrassed. It was obvious that she was a little uneasy.
After all, we are all strangers to her, including me, and she is only a twelve-year-old girl. It would be strange if she behaved so generously.
But An Lan was also good at dealing with such emotions, and she soon started chatting with Li Ruixue.
After seeing them chatting, I also went to the kitchen to help.
After coming to the kitchen, Aunt Wang asked me while cooking vegetables: "Whose child is that little girl? She's very cute."
Of course I didn't explain that much, I just smiled and replied: "The daughter of a friend of mine came over to play."
Aunt Wang said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
I turned to her and asked: "By the way, Aunt Wang, has your son's matter been resolved?"
Every time she mentioned her son, she looked a little sad. This time she sighed again and said, "They have reported him and he has been arrested and taken to the public security bureau."
"I didn't lend you money to help you, do you hate me?"
Aunt Wang hurriedly shook her head and said: "How can you hate him? You are right, I have always spoiled him and harmed him."
After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she added: "Xiao Chen, I know you are a good person. If you help me in this matter, you are helping me to harm him. I really don't blame you. It's not too late for me to thank you."
."
I smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, don't be too sad. Maybe after he goes in for transformation this time, he will be fine in the future?"
"It's not sad, he's already such a big man, and I don't need to coddle him anymore."
I nodded and didn't continue talking about this matter.
After finishing the meal, I called An Lan and Li Ruixue, so An Lan took Li Ruixue to wash their hands.
I helped them serve the rice. An Lan would feed Yangyang milk every day before eating. After he was full, she could serve the meal.
The little girl Li Ruixue is also very sensible. She sits at the dining table in an orderly manner and eats in a very orderly manner. This shows that she is very well-educated.
Although people are poor, their education is there.
My Xiaoman is also very sensible, and even took the initiative to give Li Ruixue a spicy shrimp that she likes to eat, and said: "Sister, eat shrimp."
Li Ruixue looked at Xiaoman, smiled and said, "Thank you."
This seems really harmonious, as if she is a member of our family.
It wasn't until An Lan finished feeding Yang Yang that she came to the dining table to eat.
I took over her shift and went to take care of Yangyang.
After dinner, our family went out for a walk again, and of course we took Li Ruixue with us.
An Lan suggested going out for a stroll and buying some daily necessities.
Seeing that it was still early, I agreed to go out for a walk.
Today happens to be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets are still quite lively, but there is no festive atmosphere.
Nowadays, traditional festivals like this are becoming less and less atmospheric. Even the Spring Festival seems to be less lively than when I was a child. We can no longer see the scenes of lights and colorful lights everywhere and fireworks going off.
On the contrary, people attach great importance to some foreign festivals, such as Christmas, Halloween, and even Valentine's Day.
I don’t know if it’s the sadness of this era or the sadness of the people of this era.
At the entrance of a large department store, we encountered a mooncake-delivery event organized by the mall. The event did not limit the participation of people. If you answer a correct question, you will be given a mooncake, and so on.
An Lan is a person who likes to join in the fun, especially such street activities.
I followed and walked over. There were so many people that I couldn't even squeeze in.
He stood there and listened for a while, as if he was answering a poem. If he answered the poem correctly, he would be given mooncakes.
Children and adults are all participating. In fact, the questions set by the host are not difficult. They are all poems that primary and secondary school students have learned, but many people can hardly answer them.
On the contrary, some children were able to answer a few questions correctly, which is understandable. The older children have not been in school for so long, and what they have learned before has been returned to the teacher.
We just watched like this for a while, and Xiaoman suddenly shouted that he wanted to play.
Even though she is still in kindergarten, An Lan has been teaching her to read poetry before entering kindergarten, and she can memorize many simple poems.
An Lan immediately signed up for Xiao Man. After the older friend in front finished answering, Xiao Man stepped forward.
The host looked at Xiaoman, smiled and asked: "Kid, are you okay with being so young?"
"I can."
Xiaoman is not shy at all, which is quite similar to An Lan. She is not afraid of any occasion.
"Okay, then uncle, let me write you a simple poem! ... In the spring, you can't wake up to the dawn, and you can hear the singing of birds everywhere. The next sentence is your turn, little friend."
Xiaomandu didn't pause for a moment, then continued: "The sound of wind and rain at night, you know how many flowers have fallen."
After Xiaoman answered, the people around her applauded.
Although this poem is simple, Xiaoman is still young, she is only four and a half years old.
The host was also surprised: "Hey! The kids are pretty awesome. Let's come again... the incense burner produces purple smoke in the sunshine, and you can see the waterfall Kagezenchuan in the distance."
This time Xiaoman thought about it seriously, I even became nervous for her, what an old father like me!
"How's it going, kid? Can't you pick me up?"
As soon as the host finished speaking, she said: "The stream is flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen from the sky."
"Good guy, kid, you are so awesome! How old are you?"
"Four and a half years old." Xiao Man's childish voice sounded.
The surrounding onlookers also took a breath. These poems are very simple for a child who has been to elementary school, but not so for a child who has just entered kindergarten.
Seeing the reactions of people around us, An Lan and I were certainly very proud.
Then the host started to embarrass Xiaoman: "Okay, kid, it's really awesome! Then uncle will make it more difficult..."
The host paused for a moment, looked at the script, and then continued: "If you don't see it, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky and rushes to the sea never to return... My little friend, if you know this again, your uncle will be really convinced."
