It was an old man who opened the door, and Liu Xingwen shouted happily: "Grandpa Wei." ”

The old man was short and old, the skin on his face was like the bark of a dead tree, and his eyes were deep-set, but his gaze was not cloudy, on the contrary, it revealed a fine light.

As soon as Max saw that face, he immediately felt his mind fill up, and the main line memory escaped.

"Grandpa Wei."

Maith shouted without hesitation.

Memory told him that this old man was Wei Li, the director of the Blue Sky Orphanage.

Dean Wei nodded and said lightly, "It's not the weekend today, why are you two back?" ”

"Report to Grandpa Wei, have a holiday in the afternoon."

"Is there something going on?"

"The Sheriff's Office will recruit armor soldiers in all middle schools in the entire Demon City tomorrow, and the school will let us go home early to prepare."

This time, it was Maith's turn to answer.

Under the ginkgo tree not far from the gate in the courtyard, the two of them were chatting, and when they heard Liu Xingwen and Mai Si's answers, they immediately surrounded them.

His gaze swept over, and the related side memories in Max's mind invaded, and in just a moment, everything related to this orphanage filled his memory chain.

"Hello Teacher Chen, hello Aunt Li." Maith happily greeted several people separately.

Teacher Chen is Chen Dahai, the husband of Aunt Liu, the conductor of the No. 211 bus, and asked curiously when he heard this: "A sergeant? What armor? ”

Aunt Li in Mai Si's mouth is a nursery worker in the orphanage, named Li Mei, about thirty years old, took Chen Dahai's words, and said disdainfully: "Teacher Chen, haven't you read today's news?" The outpost of the earth first detected the ground movement wave yesterday, and then there were four dead and one wounded sentinels in the third patch of Firefly Island, and the evidence showed that the crypt alien race launched this attack, and the Federal Sheriff's Office of Haitang has publicly stated that it will recruit 100 armor soldiers from the 28 middle schools in my magic city to strengthen the defense of the third patch. ”

Chen Dahai was dissatisfied: "But these children are only middle school students, at most about eighteen years old, what can they do?" This kind of thing is better left to the strategic forces of the Sheriff's Office, and wouldn't it be cannon fodder to let these children go up? ”

"This matter is led by the strategic forces of the Public Security Bureau." Liu Xingwen was a little excited, "According to the information I just obtained, it is very likely that these 100 armor soldiers will be assigned to a top-secret mission after rigorous training!" ”

"You little hairy boy, what nonsense, where did you hear the gossip?"

Liu Xingwen looked proud: "I joined a professional chat group, and someone just talked about it in the group." ”

Wei Li had been standing not far away, and then he stepped forward and said indifferently: "These things have nothing to do with you, you still study hard and strive to be admitted to a good university, and it is not in vain that all the staff of our Blue Sky Orphanage have paid to you both over the years." ”

"No, Max and I have both decided to sign up and participate in the selection of armor soldiers!"

Wei Li glanced at Mai Si.

Mai Si immediately said: "Yes, such an opportunity is rare in a lifetime, and I have decided to sign up!" ”

Wei Li glanced at Mai Si: "Li Mei said, 28 middle schools choose 100, there must be a rule of the game, I'm afraid no one can sign up and get their wish." ”

Since seeing Shangwei leave, Mai Si unconsciously became in awe of this old man, and he didn't even have the courage to argue, so he immediately fell silent.

Liu Xingwen smiled: "Please, Grandpa Wei, you will promise to let me and Mai Si sign up!" ”

"I'll talk about this later, Mai Si, you come home with me first."

After saying that, he walked forward.

Max and Liu Xingwen, along with the two orphanage staff, waved their hands and followed behind Dean Wei.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

Passing through two rows of red-brick houses to the dormitory, in front of a three-story building, Wei Li took out the key and opened the westernmost door on the first floor.

The room is not large, it is a straight room, divided into two rooms by wooden boards, and there is a table in the center of the outside room, which is a place to eat, and there is a desk in the corner of the wall, on which a handful of books are neatly stacked, and there is a table lamp on the side, which is obviously for Max to do his homework.

The inner room is a bedroom, with two wooden beds against the walls on either side.

Instinctively, Max went inside to change into slippers, and returned to the outside room to sit down at his desk.

"Max, remember what I told you before you last went to school?"

Mai Si was stunned for a moment, desperately recalling, but unfortunately he couldn't think of anything, and was feeling uneasy, but fortunately, Wei Li immediately said: "I said, when you come back next time, I will tell you a big secret." ”

Max looked surprised.

Wei Li got up and took out a plate of peanuts and a plate of braised beef from the refrigerator, uncovered the plastic wrap on the outside, then took out a portable stainless steel round wine jug from his coat pocket, took two upside-down wine cups from the table, poured half a glass for Mai Si, and poured a full glass himself.

"Mai Si, you don't have to do your homework today, come sit down and have a drink with your grandfather Wei."

Wei Li's face showed a rare kindness.

Mai Si sat down nervously.

Wei Li handed Mai Si a pair of chopsticks: "Eat some beef first, Grandpa Wei has something to say to you." ”

Taking advantage of Mai Si's sipping of beef, Wei Li tilted his neck, poured a glass of wine, and then quickly filled himself again.

Mai Si raised his glass and said respectfully: "Grandpa Wei, I respect you!" ”

The rim of the cup touched, and Maith raised his glass and drank it all.

Maith did not hesitate to bring the flask and fill it for himself.

Wei Li put down the wine cup and wiped his lips, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Mai Si, you weren't like this before, every time you drink, it's too spicy, and you've always dipped a few drops to accompany your grandfather, what's wrong with today?"

"I've grown up!" Max grinned.

Wei Li was surprised and delighted, and the old man was very relieved.

"Grandpa Wei, I'll give you another drink."

Wei Li smiled and raised his glass, and the two cups touched slightly, making a crisp sound.

"Grandpa Wei, tell me, what is the big secret?"

Wei Li pondered for a moment, and suddenly looked incredulous: "It's really a coincidence, today is your birthday!" ”

Mai Si was suspicious and blurted out: "Isn't there still a week left on my birthday, besides, even that date is only the day you took me in, I am an orphan, how can I have a specific birthday?" ”

"That's right, today is April 5th, and there is still a week to April 12th, eighteen years ago, April 12th was the day you appeared in our orphanage, so I registered that day as your birthday, but in fact, your exact birthday is April 5th."

Wei Li drank a cup of himself, hesitated for a moment, and said categorically:

"Mai Si, in fact, you are not an orphan, you have parents......"
