"No matter how bad Xiao Ying'er is, she is still Mr. Xie's apprentice. She values benevolence, justice, etiquette, and trustworthiness. She will never do such a thing that goes against Tiangang!"
"That prodigal girl definitely can't be Xiao Ying'er. She just drives a car similar to Xiao Ying'er and wears a similar hairstyle..."
"Hey, don't move, it's my turn, Shunzi!"
These are all what I heard from the men playing poker outside while eating ice cream in Sister Nan’s supermarket.
In their eyes, I may not have grown into an outstanding child from that "other family", nor have I reached the height they expected, but deep down in their hearts they still looked toward me and subconsciously protected me as their own child.
As the news became more popular, Tianxin Welfare Home also saw reports.
Grandma Liu knew that she knew the whole truth. She wanted to go to the newspaper office to explain to me, thinking that the reporter's report distorted the facts.
"Grandma Liu, she didn't distort the facts, she just avoided the important and ignored the important."
I told the truth, "You don't need to contact the newspaper, because I did hurt someone and went through the back door. After a while, it will be fine after the news subsides. By the way, I want to trouble you with one more thing.
Don't reveal my identity, I don't want everyone to know that I am the prodigal daughter mentioned in the newspapers."
"What a prodigal girl, that reporter is talking nonsense!"
Grandma Liu said helplessly, "Xiao Ying'er, grandma knows what to do, don't worry."
I put down my phone after saying thank you, and a text message from Xiaozhen came in, 'Did you offend that reporter?'
Seeing that I didn't reply, Xiaozhen continued, "You probably don't dare to go out now, have you learned sign language?"
‘I guess you are Xie Aidi herself. You didn’t want to expose your identity, so you told Grandma Liu a fake name, right?’
‘Why don’t you reply to me? You must be Xie Aidi’!
‘Will you come to the orphanage again in a few days’?
'I understand. You are afraid of being caught by me. Because you have offended a reporter, you want to use Xie Aidi's identity to do some good deeds to clear your name. Let me tell you, that is your fantasy. As long as you dare to use me
, I will go find this little reporter to expose you'!
I held the corners of my lips and replied, 'Sending text messages costs money, Xiaozhen, I, a hypocrite, will not recharge your phone bill.'
Then she calmed down. Seeing that it was not time to meditate yet, I picked up the sign language textbook and continued studying.
Maybe it was raining all night because of the leak in the house. The next morning I drove to the owner's house, thinking it would be a sunny day and opened the roof to change my mood. As a result, the rear of the car was hit by the third son of the Lei family.
!
Then he launched an offensive and guessed that the prodigal girl in the news was me, so he told me that after getting along with him, he could kick anyone he wanted...
That guy seems to have something wrong with his head.
The more I resented what I was doing, the more he said it, and I still felt good about myself.
It seems that if he opens his arms, I can rush into his arms. I don't know who gave him the confidence.
Fortunately, his fierce offensive only lasted three days, and he disappeared from my sight as the popularity of the news dropped.
I continued to live an orderly life and received some good news one after another.
Qiqi successfully underwent lip repair surgery under the guidance of Dr. Shen. Although there are still several complicated surgeries waiting for him, at least they are all on the agenda now. Everything will be done before Qiqi reaches adulthood.
Assistant Yan went to the hospital to visit Qiqi on my behalf. I didn’t dare to go to that occasion because I could imagine it. When Assistant Yan came back, he brought me a simple drawing of Qiqi with a round sun on it.
There are two little people standing hand in hand below, one is a little boy, and the other taller one is a little girl with long hair.
The childish watercolor pen wrote on the side, 'Thank you, Sister Eddie'.
The pinyin for the word "Ti" is also used.
"The operation will be very painful."
I put away the painting and looked at Assistant Yan, "Did he cry?"
"No."
Assistant Yan shook his head, "When I asked him anything, he said it didn't hurt and he wasn't afraid of injections or medicine. That kid is so strong that it makes people feel bad."
I nodded without saying anything. He had nothing but strength.
When I went to Tianxin Welfare Home again, I was able to communicate with Xiaozhen in sign language.
She seemed to see my sincerity and got closer to me.
It doesn’t mean that we will become good friends who talk about everything. She just wants me to take her and Xingxing to get a haircut, and then go to a hot spring bath center for a full treatment. She is a bit like a little bandit. If you are willing to pay me to please me, I
Just let you please me, I won't give you a good face anyway.
Xingxing fell in love with the children's playground inside, and had a great time playing with a group of four or five-year-old children.
Xiao Zhen was afraid that Xing Xing would be bullied, so he sat next to him fiercely and stared at her.
I asked the staff to pay more attention to them, and took advantage of their free time to go inside and massage their backs to relieve their fatigue.
After dinner in the evening, I drove them back. Xiaozhen touched her newly fitted hearing aid and asked me in sign language, 'Are you coming tomorrow?'
I smiled and shook my head, "I have work arrangements tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'll come back when I'm free."
She continued to sign, "Grandma Liu said that I can go back to school tomorrow, and maybe I can continue to study painting at the end of the month. Miss Aidi will pay for all this money, and you are Xie Aidi, then you
Why do you want to be taken advantage of?"
I laughed and said, "It doesn't matter whether I am Miss Addy or not. What is important is that you can continue to learn painting and have a bright future."
Her Chinese painting Grandma Liu showed it to me. To a layman, it looks very good, but to an insider, it has many shortcomings.
The details and lines are very rough, and too freehand. Although the appreciation of Chinese paintings depends on the artistic conception, I have received advice from famous artists. Most of the artistic conception paintings in the early days were real scenes. Natural landscapes can be
Make it lifelike and transfer it to the drawing paper.
Memorize visually and mentally, and finally combine it with your own perception and style to create artistic works.
Like the famous Western painters, no matter how many people don't understand their paintings after they become famous, most of their early works are mainly realistic.
But having said that, even if Xiao Zhen is not a genius in Chinese painting, she still has spirituality and talent in this area.
At least she can draw without any teacher, which is similar to my situation in my early years.
As long as she studies carefully, she will have a way out in the future.
"Why do you do these things?"
Xiaozhen's eyes were strange, "Are you short-sighted?"
I looked at her with a smile and said, "Maybe. If you are more thoughtful, you can give me a chance."
“What a beautiful thought!”
Xiao Zhen curled her lips and speeded up her sign language gestures, "Remember, no matter how good you are to me, I will never be grateful to you!"
"Is it okay if I can't buy it if I have money?"
I shrugged vigorously, "Who told Miss Addie to be rich?"
Xiao Zhen looked around the interior of the car and gestured disdainfully, "Are you really rich? Did you sell the sports car and donate all the money, so you bought this second-hand car? Although this car is also
It’s red, but the price is much different from that of a sports car. I’ve gained a lot of experience following that female star before, so you can’t trick me.”
