For the children in the orphanage, the outside world is unfamiliar, especially since they are not yet of school age, and most of the time is spent playing in the orphanage.

Therefore, the four children all looked at the principal with innocent eyes, as well as the middle-aged couple who came with the principal.

This middle-aged couple has a good appearance, the expression on their faces is also amiable, and the clothes on their bodies are very elegant, and they look like rich and noble families...... Seeing the middle-aged couple coming over with the principal, the four children vaguely realized something.

"Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, these four children are only five years old this year, which is in line with the age of the child you want to adopt, I don't know if you want to adopt a boy or a girl?" If it can be successful, it will be beneficial for the children to have parents and families again, and it will also reduce expenses for the current poorly run welfare home, which is definitely a good thing.

The couple surnamed Zhang first said a few polite words to the principal, and then began to seriously look at the four children in front of them.

"It's them......"

On the side, the ruffian man who watched all this had a look on his face...... Gradually cold.

The couple surnamed Zhang was fine when their eyes swept over the three girls, but when they glanced at the little boy, they all frowned in unison...... As a boy, after all, he is still sloppy than a girl, especially a five-year-old boy, if he doesn't have parents to take care of him, he is basically a sloppy and sloppy king.

Compared to the three girls beside him, the little boy's clothes had become dirty because of play, and his face was also covered with mud and sand, not to mention his hands, and the black mud between his nails almost dyed his fingers black, especially since he still had a long snot under his nose, which was useless to suck, and he didn't look very clever.

On the other hand, the other three little girls were much cleaner, at least there was no mud on their faces, and their clothes were clean, and they were more and more endearing than the other when they were set off by the little boys.

"Principal, we want to adopt a daughter." The couple surnamed Zhang chose their favorite candidate after a whispered discussion, and said to the principal.

"Okay, which kid do you have a crush on?" The director said with a smile.

"Well, that's her." The middle-aged woman, Mrs. Zhang, squatted down with a smile and said to a little girl with braids, "Little girl, what's your name?" Would you like to be your aunt's daughter? ”

"Auntie's daughter?" The little girl with braided braids rolled her eyes for a moment, then took the hand of the little boy next to her, plucked up the courage and said, "That...... Auntie, can you be my mother and Xiaolu's mother at the same time? I don't want to be separated from the path. ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Zhang frowned suddenly, her face showed embarrassment, and she looked at the little boy again, especially when she saw that the snot on his nose was flowing down again, and there was a faint look of disgust in her eyes.

The little girl with braids was afraid that she didn't want a little boy, so she hurriedly said: "Xiaolu is very smart, he braids my braids for me every morning, but they are beautiful." ”

As she spoke, the little girl with braids picked up her braids and shook them in front of Mrs. Zhang as if showing off, and at the same time said: "He will also use sand to build castles, catch grasshoppers, climb trees, and dig birds' eggs, which is amazing." ”

"Ahem, Lan." The director coughed twice, and then said to the middle-aged woman apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Zhang. Let me tell Xiaolan about it. ”

"No, it's okay...... Mrs. Zhang smiled and stood up, letting the principal pull Xiaolan and the path aside.

Pulling the two children aside, the principal did not rush to say anything to Xiaolan, but said to Xiaolu seriously: "Xiaolu, do you know? You're a man. ”

"Headmaster?" Xiao Lu touched his head, but he didn't understand what the principal meant.

The principal continued: "Do you want Xiaolan to have a new home, with a new father and mother? ”

Xiaolu looked at Xiaolan, and Xiaolan also had longing in her eyes, but also reluctance......

So, Xiao Lu nodded heavily at the head of the garden and said, "Hmm! ”

The director smiled and stroked Xiaolu's head, and said: "Good boy, these two Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang want to adopt another child because they lost their daughter at an early age, but it is enough for a family to have a child, so if they adopt Xiaolu, they can't adopt Xiaolan, and if they adopt Xiaolan, they can't adopt Xiaolu anymore." So, Xiaolu, can you be like a man and give this opportunity to Xiaolan? ”

After speaking, the principal looked at Xiaolu meaningfully, and Xiaolan was about to cry.

Xiao Lu lowered his head and thought for a while, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Then I won't be able to see Xiaolan in the future?" ”

The principal shook his head and said, "Of course not, although Xiaolan has a new parent, she can still come back to visit everyone, and when you go to school, you can even write letters to each other." It's just that we won't sleep together again at night. ”

"Hmm!" Xiaolu nodded heavily.

The principal smiled and stroked Xiaolu's hair and said, "Good boy. ”

"What happened next?" An unfamiliar voice sounded in the ruffian man's ears.

The ruffian man didn't reply, just looked coldly at the scene that happened in front of him...... Watching the director holding Xiaolan's hand, watching Xiaolan look back at Xiaolu and other friends step by step, Xiaolu and other friends reluctantly watched Xiaolan gradually leave......

"It's just a very old-fashioned thing......," the ruffian man said in a cold tone, "and then he never saw her again, for a year, two years, three years...... In the beginning, he remembered her, cried many times, and even used a pen to draw a lot of pictures instead of letters. But then ......"

"One day, you saw the couple again, didn't you?"

With the sound of an unfamiliar voice, the scene in front of me suddenly changed again...... It's still the same orphanage, but this time it seems to be a little more dilapidated. The children playing next to the sand pit have also changed from a few five-year-old boys and girls to a few seven or eight-year-old older children playing with a few younger children.

On the other side, the principal, who was even older than just now, once again walked towards the children with the well-dressed middle-aged couple......

The ruffian man looked at this scene and said coldly, "Aren't you showing up yet?" Fun looking at other people's past? ”
