With some apprehension, Xu Ran and her sister returned to their home in the brick bungalow in the outer courtyard of the orphanage, and when they entered the house, they saw their aunt sitting quietly at the table in a trance.

Xu Yueying is only forty-two years old this year, and she is in the prime of life, but now her temples have grown gray hair, and the extremely intense workload over the years has made her body very thin, and her face has aged after the vicissitudes of life.

"Auntie, Mom, we're back!"

After Xu Ran and his sister entered the house, the brother and sister stood in front of Xu Yueying like children who had done something wrong.

Xu Yueying came back to her senses, and she did not have the calm face she imagined, nor did she have a look of blame.

Her eyes were very loving and gentle, and she looked at Xu Ran and said softly: "Xiao Ran, you have grown up to be an adult, and your aunt will no longer be as strict with you as she was when she was a child!"

"Auntie......"

Xu Ran opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't.

Xu Yueying got up and walked to the bed, picked up the clothes that Xu Ran bought for her, a warm smile appeared on her face, and continued: "The styles and colors of these clothes you and Tingting picked are not old, they fit very well, I like them very much......"

Then, she picked up the clothes that Xu Ran bought for her sister and said: "Tingting's clothes are very expensive, I used to want to buy one for your brothers and sisters, but I don't have the financial ability, I have always felt very guilty, and now Xiaoran, you have this condition to buy Tingting, I am very pleased, but ......"

Xu Ran's heart tightened.

Xu Yueying's voice was still calm, but her words began to sharpen: "It's just Xiao Ran, any decision you feel is right after graduating from college, even if you resolutely resign from your job at Xidu University of Science and return to Xiacheng to start your own business, my aunt will support you and hope that you can achieve something."

Because you are an adult, this is the choice you make for your life path, since you entered the society, your aunt can't help you much, your life mentor is yourself, so your aunt has only one requirement for you, be low-key, sincere, don't be impetuous, focus on things, integrity, don't be false......"

After humbly listening to my aunt's words, Xu Ran spoke: "Auntie, since I was a child, I have always remembered your teachings to me and dare not forget them, although you did not ask me about the origin of the money I used to buy so many things, but I assure you that it is by no means an illegal gain from crooked ways, there is no blood or tears in it!"

"That's good!"

These heartfelt words made a happy smile appear on Xu Yueying's face.

Seeing her aunt's expression, Xu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Auntie, Tingting's living expenses in the future, as well as all the expenses for going to college in the future, as well as the dowry for future marriage, are all borne by me, I don't want you to be too tired in the future, tired of your body, and delay your youth, I hope you can quit the work in the factory that is too intense, and do something you want to do, but you have not been able to go!"

"Who wants to get married, so I don't want to marry!"

When the little sister heard this, she couldn't help blushing and smacked her brother.

Xu Yueying was a little surprised, and asked rhetorically: "Your filial aunt has received it in my heart, I know that you have talked about a girlfriend, do you think that before your personal life and marriage problems are solved, and Tingting has not really grown up, can your aunt really be able to let go of all psychological burdens, pursue her dreams, and do what she wants to do?"

“……”

……

In the evening, there was a burst of children's laughter in the orphanage.

When several children playing games in the yard saw Xu Ran going out, they greeted one after another: "Brother Xu Ran, Brother Xu Ran......"

Some of these children are eight or nine years old, but they still have the intelligence of four or five years old, some lack arms and legs, and some are deaf and mute.

Among the twenty or so children, only four or five have normal development, all of them have started school, they are very sensible and precocious, but they have always been reluctant to accept family adoption and leave the orphanage.

There are also two, one is that after going to the adoptive family, he was not used to suffering from depression, and he was taken back to the orphanage to slowly recover, and the other is that the adoptive family had their own children who were neglected and treated differently, so they ran back by themselves.

Surrounded by a few children, Xu Ran touched their heads, the deaf and dumb children communicated in mute, the disabled encouraged them not to feel inferior, and the normal children told them to love these brothers and sisters.

I accompanied these children to play a few simple games, and it was about the time I agreed with Du Dongping.

The dust on the electric car in the backyard didn't have time to scrub it, and after turning it on with the key, it was found that the battery was also powered.

It happened that the little sister Zhou Ting came over on the bicycle, and it seemed that the little sister was holding her waist, standing on tiptoe and pedaling, riding looked quite awkward, and the seat cushion should be a little high.

"Brother, this bike is very light to ride, the brakes and speed changes are very smart, and there is actually an LED touch screen and an electronic lock system, which is very fun, but the seat cushion is too high, you can adjust it for me!"

Xu Ran saw her sister get out of the car and push it over, but she just smiled and quipped: "It's not that the seat cushion is high, it's that you're a little short, you have to eat more meat in the future and grow your body well!"

"Brother!"

My sister scolded Xu Ran, she is only 1.4 meters tall now, and she really looks like a little girl who doesn't grow big.

My sister carried forward the style of the little housekeeper, inserted her small waist, and said: "I don't care, I'm going to ride a bicycle to buy vegetables tomorrow morning, you want to eat the buns I made, hum ......"

"Okay, I'll adjust it for you when I come back tonight!"

Xu Ran had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender and said, "It's just right, my electric car is out of power, and I will go out for a while, so I'll ride away first......"

"Then you ride away, brother, you big lazy cat, the electric car is so dirty, you are embarrassed to ride out to meet people, or I will wipe it for you, and then charge it for you!"

"Momada, sister, you're the best!"

After laughing with his sister, Xu Ran pushed the car out of the yard.

Xu Ran is a medium-sized person of 1.75 meters, the bicycle brought out of the debris space is just right to ride, very labor-saving, the speed between pedaling can be adjusted by force, the speed can be fast or slow, the brakes are also very sensitive, the delay of the sudden stop is very short, and the LED screen will also display the live situation, which is very convenient.

The place where I made an appointment to meet Du Dongping was on the Music Bar Street in the West District, and the bicycle was very fast, and it took less than 20 minutes to arrive.

It's all about KTV bars and other entertainment venues.

In the evening, the barbecue beach in front of some bars has opened, and the smell of smoke and cumin fills the air, accompanied by a noisy noise that still has high decibels coming out of the walls despite the soundproofing.

Some people directly set up a table outside, and three or five friends gathered together, drinking beer, eating barbecue, farting and chatting, so lively.

Xu Ran rode a bicycle to find the agreed night cat bar, so he randomly put the bicycle on the electronic lock and leaned against the fence in front of a tree pond.

Bang!

However, Xu Ran had just passed through the two table stalls set up by the three or five people, and before he reached the door of the bar, he suddenly heard the roar of a car engine and the slight sound of brakes.

When he turned around, he saw that the bike he was riding had been hit by a car and had smashed into a table stall near the back of his butt.
