Epilogue Rebirth I
"What's your name?"
The woman in front of me was wearing a warm-colored dress and a white knit sweater, her long hair was draped over her shoulders, she was half-kneeling in front of me, her beautiful face was full of tenderness.
I looked at her, and then I turned to look at Chen's mother, who took care of me every day.
Mother Chen also sat down beside me, touched my head, and said to Aunt Long-haired with a smile: "This is our little Jiayin here, she was placed at our gate as soon as she was born." This child has grown up, is in good health, likes sports, has never had any serious illness, and even has very few small colds. He shook my hand again and said, "Jiayin, this is Mrs. Chi, say hello." ”
I looked at this woman called "Mrs. Chi", and knew in my heart that she had come to the welfare home to select children, and the children who wanted to leave the welfare home would try their best to behave at this time, so that the other party would take a fancy to them and take them out of here.
But I'm different, for as long as I can remember, I've been in a welfare home, and my aunts say that I was put here when I was born, and there are actually many such children, but almost all of them were adopted early by families who came to pick up children.
But it's strange, I'm not stupid or disabled, what do I look like...... My aunts said I was beautiful, but no family ever adopted me. There used to be some families who came to talk to me, and as I got older, there were fewer and fewer such people, and now that I'm nine years old, no one is even interested in me since this year, and this Mrs. Chi is the first.
However, it actually makes me quite happy because I don't want to leave the orphanage, and the aunts here are just like my mother. Others only have one mother, but I have one, two, three, four, five...... So many moms.
Therefore, for this Mrs. Chi, I just said perfunctorily: "Hello, madam." ”
Mrs. Chi suddenly smiled and said, "This kid is really shy. ”
Chen's mother explained with a dry smile: "Xiao Jiayin doesn't like to talk, because she is a very attentive child, she is very smart, and her grades in school are very good. He is also very well-behaved and sensible. ”
Mrs. Chi listened to her and looked at me with a smile and an expression like a wolf seeing meat. It made me feel uncomfortable.
Then, just like every rare opportunity, Chen's mother did everything she could to promote me, and from time to time asked me to play the piano and dance for a while.
I did it obediently, but I also had my own little Jiujiu, so I deliberately played the piano wrong and danced crookedly.
Chen's mother had to make another excuse for me, saying that I broke my foot while running.
Finally, after asking questions for an hour, Mrs. Chi proposed that she wanted to visit the welfare home, and Chen's mother also knew that I didn't want to go with me, so she glared at me with hatred and accompanied Mrs. Eat.
Alas......
Sure enough, after dinner, Chen's mother called me out and walked me in the direction of a room without saying a word. As soon as I got to the stairwell, I stood still, she was going to take me to the dean's office!
Seeing that I didn't move, Chen's mother also stopped, her expression a little stern, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I looked at her pitifully, "Why did you go to see the dean?" Am I not going to be able to change what I did wrong? ”
"I'm not going to scold you." Chen's mother still had a straight face, "Come on." ”
It's not that you want to scold me for being so fierce......
The dean is an old aunt in her fifties, and although she is not fierce at all, she makes people feel very dignified.
I didn't go to her office many times, twice I jumped over the wall and got caught, and once the day before the exam I didn't know why I had a strange dream all night, which caused me to fall asleep in the exam room the next day and get a zero score.
All three times I was trained, and of course I was scared.
Chen's mother knocked on the door, and the dean was sitting upright on the sofa.
