Zhang Ran asked He Yong to stop the car when he first entered Xicheng and began to wander around, he was still very familiar with Xicheng before, but at this time he was a little unrecognizable.

In the area where there used to be a large area of farmland, tall buildings are now erected.

Tin City is not very large, at least much smaller than other cities of its class.

After wandering around for about half an hour, Zhang Ran got back into the car this time and came to the address of the original welfare home.

He wasn't going to come back in the first place, after all, it had been moved out thirty years ago, and only old houses remained.

So he didn't come over to see it the first few times he passed through Tin City.

However, after seeing Gong Nan and passing through Xicheng again, Zhang Ran's heart couldn't help but move, and it was good to think that he was nostalgic for the past.

In the past, the welfare home was on the outskirts of Xicheng, but there were some communities around, but there were very few, and the previous communities were not called communities, and it was more appropriate to call them family buildings.

However, when Zhang Ran came here again, he was involuntarily stunned for a moment, and asked He Yong to drive around here, and this neighborhood has become the office of the district government at this time.

The office buildings built by the district government stand up here, not to mention the surrounding environment, the originally narrow and crowded lanes are now much wider, and the flowers and trees are in order.

It can be said that there is no appearance as Zhang Ran imagined at all.

After going around, Zhang Ran asked He Yong to find a place to stop the car, and then walked to the original welfare home.

But soon, Zhang Ran stood in front of an old compound in a daze, looking at the door number that someone was taking care of, although it was still dilapidated.

The key is not this, but the voices of some children coming from inside, which made Zhang Ran's spirit a little trance for a moment.

This is........?

"What are you doing, what are you doing standing here?" Just when Zhang Ran was in a trance, a voice with a somewhat rough but vigilant voice remembered.

Zhang Ran came back to his senses and saw an old man in his sixties, but he was strong and had a loud voice, and he didn't have the appearance of an old man at all.

Zhang Ran touched his pocket and found that he had no cigarettes on him, so he could only ask He Yong for a pack of cigarettes, and then walked over with a smile.

"I just came to take a look, I remember that this place was closed a long time ago, why is it open again?" Zhang Ran asked with a smile as he handed over the cigarette.

When the old man heard him say this, the vigilance in his eyes instantly disappeared a lot, but he didn't take the cigarette he handed over, but said: "It's been reopened for seven years, but it's been more than thirty years when it was closed, how do you know?"

Zhang Ran took back the cigarette and said with a smile: "I said that I went out of this welfare home, do you believe it?"

", how old are you. The old man was clearly unconvinced.

Zhang Ran sighed and said, "I knew you would say that, but I really went out from here." ”

Seeing that Zhang Ran didn't look like he was lying, the old man was a little suspicious, "You really went out from here?"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Why am I lying to you?

"And what is the name of the former director of the welfare house here?" asked the old man.

"Chen Guifang. Zhang Ran replied directly.

"Are you really?, what's your name?" said the old man.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Does it make sense what my name is? ”

"I'll ask if anyone knows you, what if you lie?" the old man asked.

Zhang Ran just shook his head with a smile, and then reacted, "You said someone knows me.........?"

"Just say your name, don't ask so much. The old man was a little dissatisfied.

Zhang Ran took a deep breath and said, "My name is Zhang Ran, and in the past, the people in the welfare home either called me Xiao Ran or Brother Ran." ”

The old man didn't talk much nonsense when he heard this, so he directly picked up the phone in the duty room and called it, and hung up the phone after talking for a while. 、

Then he looked at Zhang Ran with some surprise, "Are you really from the former welfare home, how old are you this year?"

"It's more than fifty, it's just a little younger than you, brother. Zhang Ran didn't know what was going on at this time, and he was a little excited in his heart.

He wasn't excited to meet his old friends from the orphanage, because there were only three people he really recognized in the entire orphanage.

One is Gong Nan, who is his younger brother, and the other is the dean and an eldest sister.

Gong Nan didn't say much, because some things Zhang Ran recognized it, but the dean and eldest sister were recognized and respected by him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Ran had heard many debates about the inherent goodness and evil of human nature before, and it seemed that no one could convince anyone.

Zhang Ran doesn't understand such philosophical principles, and he doesn't know who is right and who is wrong.

But when he saw the eldest sister and the dean, Zhang Ran's heart naturally had the idea of human nature being good, because these two people were really born kind.

The dean may be old, Zhang Ran doesn't know her past, and she doesn't judge too much, but since the eldest sister was admitted to the hospital, everyone was only five or six years old at that time, although Zhang Ran was very small, but he remembered when he was born, so everything was seen very clearly.

At that time, he never thought that there were really people who were born so kind.

This is also the first time that a reborn person like Zhang Ran willingly called a big sister who was still a child at the time.

Compared with other children, Zhang Ran respects this person the most, and it is precisely because he knows a lot and understands a lot, so he knows more about the rarity of such a person.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang Ran saw an old lady with steady steps walking over quickly, followed by a little girl who looked like she was in her twenties.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran. Far away, I heard the old lady shout.

Zhang Ran looked at this old lady and was a little stunned for a while, but he quickly recognized that this was really his eldest sister.

In fact, when he knew that someone was reopening here, he guessed that it would be the eldest sister, and only a person like the eldest sister would do such a thankless thing in this era.

"Big sister. Zhang Ran's voice trembled slightly.

As he spoke, Zhang Ran also walked quickly from the guard room, and this time the old man of the guard did not stop him.

Fei Lan looked at Zhang Ran, who was still young, and could see Zhang Ran's previous shadow from his face.

"Xiao Ran, is it really you?" Fei Lan looked at Zhang Ran in front of him with some disbelief.

Zhang Ran smiled: "Of course it's me, I just look younger, eldest sister, you look much older after so many years." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old man was not happy, "What's so old, Xiaolan looks young, okay?"
