Suddenly seeing a strange child, she was startled and then remembered what happened last night.
"Mia, good morning." She said hello and got out of bed. Mia also got out of bed and followed her silently.
She took Mia to wash up, and then helped her braid her fluffy black hair into small braids, revealing her complete facial features. Chen Ninghui sighed again, what a beautiful child.
She made a simple breakfast for the two of them. After eating, she took the national flag and went out to raise it. She also took pictures of the fully restored China Pavilion and the red flag to show to Teacher Zhang.
Due to the time difference, it should be night in China, but Teacher Zhang should be working overtime, so he quickly replied: "Not bad, do a good job."
When she returns to Country
But today, she had to solve Mia's problem first.
The little girl looked at the raised national flag curiously. Chen Ning held her hand and introduced her to the meaning of the flag, while teaching her the Chinese pronunciation of the word "China".
China, China, the little girl learned this pronunciation lamely, and Chen Ning just wanted to laugh when she heard it.
Take her to the street outside and find Vala who helped build the wall yesterday.
Vala saw her holding the hand of a little girl and looked at her for a while before confirming: "She is Mia?"
"You know her?"
"I know her. She is a street child from here. Her parents died during the civil strife." Vala said without hesitation in front of Mia. It was probably because of the civil strife that there were too many such orphans in this area and she had become accustomed to it.
Mia shrank from the hand she was holding, and then held her hand tightly, fearing that she would let go.
Chen Ning did not let go. It has been almost a year since the civil strife in Country
After buying some clothes for Mia and some snacks at Vara's store, I took her hand back to the embassy.
She thought of the utility room, "Have you always lived here?"
Mia nodded, because the previous wall was dilapidated and she could come and go freely. This was the only shelter she found. She didn't dare to tell anyone, so she secretly came in and slept every night.
Chen Ning opened the door of the utility room. There was enough light during the day and she could see the entire utility room. Soon, her eyes were fixed on two of the express boxes.
If she remembered correctly, these two big boxes were the snacks that Song Jingye sent her. As soon as they were received, civil unrest broke out. She and Teacher Zhang evacuated in an emergency. She also regretted not eating the snacks he had sent her.
Here are some loving snacks.
Mia looked at the empty snack box with an expression that she had done something wrong. For a long time, she relied on these snacks to sustain her life. Without these snacks, she might have starved to death.
But she ate all the snacks without the owner's permission, so she was very scared, and looked at Chen Ning with timid eyes.
Chen Ning hugged her back with some distress and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm very happy. These snacks can help you. The uncle who bought these snacks will also be very happy."
The little girl felt relieved and smiled.
Probably because the little girl has black hair, and because of the special fate of this snack, Chen Ninghui has a special feeling of closeness to her, so he keeps her in the embassy all the time. It's not a hassle, it's just a pair of chopsticks, and it can
Keep her company.
(Because I saw someone in two groups on Weibo mentioning the movie "The Journey Home", I would like to explain here. I hesitated about this movie for a long time, and finally decided to watch it. One of the purposes was to avoid having the same plot, because I
The references are also real events. I have been careful to avoid similar plots when writing about the evacuation of overseas Chinese. The story about this little girl was set up a long time ago. The reason why this little girl appears is, first,
, I didn’t plan to write about their childbirth in the novel. I just felt that there was a great love between Kyōno and Xiao Ninghui, so I didn’t want to spend too much time on the parents’ shortcomings. But at the same time, I had some childish ideas and didn’t want Kyōno to have a baby.
It is true that children come from old age, but they have lost to others in this aspect, so it was initially set that they would adopt a four or five-year-old child, similar to the children of Lu Kuo and Brother Dong’s family. With their personalities, they must be the same.
Treat this little girl as my own. This little girl is completely different from the girl in A Thousand Miles Home, both in character and role. The only thing they have in common is that she is adopted, but I don’t want to change it just because the movie has this plot.
