"Huh?" Yilan took a few steps forward suspiciously, and then exclaimed tentatively, "Aunt Qin? ”

The man seemed to stiffen, turned around, looked at Elan with a stunned face, and said after a while: "Elan, why are you?" ”

Yilan was first surprised, and then noticed the painful and tangled expression on Ms. Qin's face that she couldn't hide in a hurry, and she wondered in her heart, could it be that Ms. Qin also went out of the orphanage? It doesn't look like it, Ms. Qin has good etiquette and good upbringing, and her whole temperament is elegant and calm, and at a glance, she knows that she is a beautiful lady who has come out of a privileged environment, not like she has a sad life experience.

Yilan pressed the guess in her heart, her face was only unaware, and she smiled happily: "Aunt Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"It's been a long time." Ms. Qin smiled, as gentle and amiable as before. After calming down, she took the initiative to start the topic and asked, "Yilan, aren't you going to the army?" How did you come here? ”

Ilan was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "The one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of the Children's Home, I happened to have a holiday recently, so I came to take a look." ”

"Are you ......" Ms. Qin was stunned for a moment, looked at Yilan and stopped talking.

Yilan sighed slightly, there was nothing to hide if he was bumped into, so he said generously: "I used to live here. ”

Sure enough, Ms. Qin looked at her in shock, probably never thinking that she was from such a background.

Yilan smiled and said, "Aunt Qin, I really didn't expect to meet you here. ”

"I ......," Ms. Qin paused and explained, "I donated a sum of money before, and the Children's Home invited me to come over to participate in the commemorative event. ”

"That's right." Ilan suddenly realized. She actually guessed that Ms. Qin was an orphan, and the family turned out to be a caring person.

"That's right, Ilan. I have good news for you, there is a merchant who seems to be interested in your formula drink, and our association is negotiating. ”

Yilan was a little dumbfounded, she forgot about this stubble, and asked in disbelief, "Really?" Will anyone be interested? ”

Ms. Qin said with a smile: "It's not convenient for you to contact here, and the matter has just had some intentions, and some negotiations may not be resolved in the end." So I didn't tell you. ”

Ilan was only halfway happy, and immediately returned to reality, she shook her head. couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, anyway, I'm messing around casually, I really have to be liked by someone, I think it's weird." ”

"You kid." Ms. Qin sneered.

"Auntie. How is Chang'an junior? Ilan asked politely.

As soon as Ms. Qin mentioned her son, she smiled: "Okay." He's fine, he's going to be in the sixth grade at the start of school. ”

"That's fast." Elan sighed. When she first met Geng Changan and was sent to school by Ms. Qin, An An was still in the second grade.

"Elan, how are you? It's bitter in the army, can you afford it? ”

Yilan's heart warmed and said, "I'm used to it now and I'm doing well." She suddenly remembered about the chef qualification, so she inquired. Auntie, is it difficult to get a chef qualification in the Culinary Association? ”

"What? Are you interested? Ms. Qin asked with a smile. Talk to her about the content and rules of the exam.

The two were standing under the flower tree and chatting, a breeze blew, and a few leaves fell down slowly, Yilan turned his eyes, saw that it was not early, and asked, "Auntie, do you want to rush back today or stay in Aegean?" "There are a lot of flights between the main star of Tudo and the Aegean star, and if Ms. Qin leaves on the same day, she can't keep chatting with people.

"I'll go back on my evening flight, what about you?"

"I'm staying for one night today and leaving tomorrow." Ilan said.

"Live here?" Ms. Qin asked.

"No, I'm staying at Aegean One Hotel." Ilan laughed.

"Elan, do you have a long vacation? If you have time, it is better to go to the main star of Tuduo with me for two days, it just so happens that An'an has not yet started school. Ms. Qin warmly extended the invitation.

"Thank you, Auntie, my vacation is very short, and I can't go to the main star of Tuduo this time." Ilan politely declined.

Ms. Qin looked regretful: "Then the next time you have the opportunity to go to the main star of Tuduo, remember to come to me." ”

Yilan smiled and nodded in agreement, she looked at the time and asked, "Auntie, do you want to stay here a little longer?" ”

Ms. Qin looked around, the lawn was empty, the flowers and trees were sparse, it was quiet, and she said silently, "I'm leaving." There was a hint of a muffled voice in his voice.

"I'm gone, too." Ilan laughed, and the two walked down the path to the door.

"Ilan, are the living conditions good here?" Ms. Qin asked suddenly.

Yilan was stunned for a moment, and smiled secretly in her heart, all the donors were concerned about whether the money was in place, and she said truthfully: "It's good, one bedroom for one person, the room is not small, and there is another place to study games." ”

Ms. Qin sighed softly, didn't speak again, and when she was about to approach the door, she asked again, "Yilan, were there many people at that time?" ”

Ilan was a little surprised: "We were at that time? ”

She thought about it for a while, if someone heard that someone else was an orphan, it was normal for them to ask more, so she thought about it sideways for a while, and said, "There are probably more than twenty, all of them of all ages, about the same as now." ”

Ms. Qin listened silently, and asked after a while, "There are also older ones than you?" She then looked away, looking at the few flowering shrubs around her.

"Yes, it's always been like this, some big and some small, and if it's bigger, they leave the children's home, and every year a small one comes in."

"Where do the older children go when they leave the home?" Ms. Qin asked softly.

Ilan smiled: "Some still go home, and some governments will arrange jobs." ”

"What kind of work? Easy? Ms. Qin seemed to be very concerned, and when she asked, she looked sideways at Yilan, frowning slightly, but quickly turned her head to look at the road.

"It's okay, it's all within our means." Ilan laughed.

Ms. Qin sighed softly, and after a while, asked, "Yilan, what about you...... Did you read a book when you came out? ”

Yilan glanced at Ms. Qin, but had not yet spoken. Seeing that Ms. Qin was a little embarrassed, she said, "Yilan, I'm ......"

Yilan smiled, she knew that Ms. Qin actually wanted to ask her. Is there a family back, or is it arranged to work.

"The government let me rent a piece of land." Ilan replied with a generous expression.

"So you study agriculture and learn farming?" Ms. Qin was stunned, and seeing Yilan nodding, she continued to ask, "Is farming hard?" ”

"Fortunately, it's easy to get familiar with the process." Ilan said it lightly.

"Then how did you get to the army?" Ms. Qin asked puzzled. His brows were furrowed, "Is there a number of years of work given by the government?" ”

"No, I'm not farming anymore." Ilan looked up at the gate not far away. The tone is as usual.

Ms. Qin bowed slightly, and instead of continuing to talk about Yilan's affairs, she asked instead, "What else do you others do besides farming?" ”

"There are some people who do robotics repair apprenticeships. Some will go to the mining area. The government will arrange according to each person's interest and ability. ”

"Mineral area?" Ms. Qin said in surprise.

Yilan smiled: "Auntie, don't worry. If it's not hard, go there as a management trainee. ”

That kind of good job is worry-free for a lifetime, and it will generally take care of the orphans of soldiers.

Ms. Qin nodded and asked, "Are you all these employment choices every year?" ”

"No, there are many more, but I don't know much." Ilan said apologetically.

Ms. Qin didn't ask any more, and the two walked out of the gate and towards the parking lot.

Under the shade of the mezzanine trees. Ms. Qin suddenly said, "Yilan, did you have any friends to play with at that time?" ”

Ilan was a little stunned. Looking over, Ms. Qin's face was illuminated by the light leaking through the cracks in the leaves, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

She retracted her gaze, remembering.

She always stayed in the orphanage year after year, and she also had playmates of the same age when she was a child, and she remembered that when she was ignorant of the world when she was a child, she also laughed innocently with her friends.

After a few years, some of her parents were in better condition, and the two friends who played well were brought back one after another, and she began to become reticent.

Later, she was considered old, and where could she play with the children again, and took care of them while they were playing.

At that time, there were two or three people who were a little younger than herself, and the age gap was not too big, so it stands to reason that she could talk about it together, but the older she became, the more depressed she became, the more she worried about the way out in the future, and she only cared about completing her basic education on the star network, and rarely opened her mouth all day long, and basically didn't talk to others lively.

Ms. Qin asked, probably taking pity on their orphans, and Yilan said embarrassedly: "I'm more withdrawn and introverted, but everyone gets along very well. As soon as she looked up, she saw her car, diverted the subject, pointed to the car and said, "Auntie, my car is there." ”

Ms. Qin's mind was a little dazed, and she suddenly came back to her senses, and first showed a smile and said, "Yilan," she wanted to say something, but she didn't continue, turned around and pointed to a car as if to hide it, and said, "My car is parked over there." ”

The two stood still, and Yilan smiled: "Auntie, are you going to catch a flight?" ”

Ms. Qin smiled and nodded.

"I'm going back to the hotel, goodbye, Auntie, have a nice trip." Ilan said.

"Goodbye, stay safe on the road, and contact more when you have time." Ms. Qin smiled kindly.

Yilan agreed, turned around and walked towards her car, she opened the car door, looked back, and Ms. Qin was also standing by the car and watching. Ilan smiled and waved his hand, got into the car, and after starting the liftoff, he found that there was a car behind him that was also in the air. After a while, the two cars separated in different directions.

When Ilan returned to her hotel room, the first thing she did was to look in the mirror.

After taking a left and right shot, she exhaled and muttered, "Fortunately, it's not a basin of dog blood." ”

She looked at Ms. Qin not like an ordinary donor, there seemed to be a complex emotion hidden between her eyebrows, and secretly wondered what entanglement Ms. Qin had with the orphanage, Ms. Qin kept asking her about the situation at that time, and she faintly began to beat the drum in her heart, but it sounded like Ms. Qin seemed to pay more attention to the children older than her, even if there were any entanglements, they couldn't entangle her.

Now calm down and think about it, Ms. Qin is just because she knows her well, so she asks a few more words, and Yilan secretly laughs that she has watched too many bloody dramas before.

After dinner, Ilan was thinking about the rest of the itinerary in the room, she was a little hesitant in her heart, she wanted to go to Moss Star, it was already so close, if she didn't go this time, maybe she would never go again, but she was afraid to go to be sad, things were not everything, she was full of pain, I was afraid that I couldn't face the small building and the field.

The room was silent, Ilan recalled the past scenes at the farm, the pictures of her and Ayu together were always silent, and almost all the vivid scenes full of warm laughter had that person, Ilan looked up and forced back with tears.

No, she decided in her heart. There were too few flights to and from Moss, and after she took a look, she had to wait three days for a return flight, and the time to return to the base would be too tight.

When Ilan was about to rest, Ryan's video came: "Beauty, are you home?" ”

Yilan smiled: "It's here." ”

"Did the road go well?"

"It went well."

"Beauty," Ryan grinned, "I'm in Aegean too." (To be continued......)
