After my father had finished explaining the matter, he beckoned us to help the priest clean up the Rose Hall.

The Rose Hall had just been torn down a wall by Shi Fugui's leaders, so it was already dilapidated, and we were busy for a while before we finally cleared all the rotten bricks and tiles.

I, Li Xiaohua and a few other people carried it carefully, and finally carried my godmother's coffin out.

At this time, Father Garser sighed, "This winter is coming, and it is very troublesome to build a wall without new bricks......

At this moment, a voice came from the side: "Father, our family can burn bricks, let him help!" ”

I turned my head to look, only to see that the person who spoke was a young woman, I recognize, this person is called Zhang Zhaodi, I used to call her Aunt Zhang on weekdays, and she was followed by his man Wang Daqing, I call him Uncle Qing on weekdays.

At this time, I heard Uncle Qing say to Father Gase: "Father, I don't have any other skills, you wait for me for two days, I will go to the Pingchuan River to dig some mud and sand, and help you burn the bricks as soon as possible." ”

Father Garse was very pleased to hear this and said, "Thank you then!" ”

Alan also bowed his head and thanked him, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang!" Thank you, Uncle Qing! ”

"Hey, no...... It's time for us to thank you......" Uncle Qing smiled and waved his hand, and Aunt Zhang grabbed his arm and glared, Uncle Qing quickly shut up and stopped talking, I felt that Aunt Zhang's eyes were a little strange, and I couldn't figure it out for a while.

At this time, my mother pulled Alan and said: "Lan'er, you are also a member of my Lu family now, and you are also wronged by living here, my godmother is distressed, you can go back to Lu Mansion with me today!" ”

When Alan pursed her mouth and didn't speak, I thought she was embarrassed, so I hurriedly said, "Alain, my mother has spoken, you can go back with us!" ”

Alan hesitated and said, "Young master, I ......"

As soon as I heard this, I was anxious, "Now! If you say the wrong thing with one mouth, you still call me young master? ”

Alan lowered his head and said, "Brother......"

"Hey!" When I heard it, I was happy and comforted her: "Don't be embarrassed, you are my sister, I will never treat you badly, my mother said, everything I have you is indispensable!" ”

But Alan still frowned, and just whispered: "I thank my godmother and brother, it's just ......"

I was surprised and asked, "Just what?" ”

Alain lowered his head and ripped the corner of his clothes, "It's just...... After my mother died, there was no one in this nursery, and I couldn't worry about the children, so I wanted to stay here and take care of the children......"

As soon as I heard this, I immediately understood, it turned out that this girl was so concerned about the orphans in the nursery, so she refused to go home with us.

And when she was in a dilemma, she chose to stay in the church to help without hesitation.

I shook my head, and said secretly in my heart, you girl, your heart is really good, you don't want to be prosperous and rich, and you still want to do good deeds.

My mother persuaded me a few more words, and Alain shook his head and actually cried.

She choked up and said: "Godmother, my aunt has explained to me, we owe the Lu family and the priest and nun for their kindness, I can't leave, I can't leave......"

My mother was even more distressed when she saw it, and tears appeared in her eyes, "Lan'er, are you obedient......"

Alain shook his head desperately and cried: "I have no mother, those children have no mother like me, how can I leave them......"

I was also very sad to see it, it turned out that she was thirteen years old, but she had been using her weak shoulders to carry a burden that many adults could not bear, she was really a girl who valued love and righteousness......

At this moment, a baby's cry came from the nearby nursery with a "wow".

Alain rushed into the nursery without saying a word, my mother and I hurriedly chased after us, and when we arrived at the door, we saw that she had already held the child in her arms, and gently coaxed, "Good, good, Ah Tu is not afraid, Ah Tu is not afraid of sleeping......"

She coaxed, and the child in her arms slowly quieted down......

At this time, I suddenly heard a loud scream from behind me, which startled me a lot!

"I'm not alive!"

When I turned my head to look, I saw Aunt Zhang sitting on the ground, howling regardless of it, while Uncle Qing was pulling her desperately beside her.

Aunt Zhang howled and beat Uncle Qing's arm vigorously, and heard her cry: "A teenage girl doll is not related to her, and she has hurt other children's children as your own children, and you still leave your own children here, you are a thousand knives!" ”

Uncle Qing said as he broke free: "It's not that you want to give birth yet!" As a result, the third child gave birth to a girl, you don't know the situation at home, I work alone with six mouths, where can I still tolerate Xiaoqing! ”

As soon as Uncle Qing looked up, he saw us standing in front of them, and smiled embarrassedly: "My wife is crazy!" Don't care! ”

Aunt Zhang cried even more when she heard this, "I don't care!" You bring the child back to me, I hurt my own child, and I asked someone to take a little girl with it, you are ruthless...... You're a ...... who kills a thousand knives."

At this time, Alan put the child to sleep, and when she heard the movement here, she came out with the child in her arms, and she saw the appearance of Aunt Zhang and Uncle Qing, and said, "You ......."

Uncle Qing hesitated for a while, and finally walked up to Alan with his feet, drooped his head and said, "Alan girl, I can't stand you, I shouldn't have left the child here, I'm doing evil......"

Alan said dumbfoundedly: "Uncle Qing, you ......"

Uncle Qing patted his head vigorously, and said, "Our child's name is Xiaoqing, I'll take it back now, and in the future, even the clear soup and little water will have her mouthful......"

Alan understands that Aunt Zhang and Uncle Qing also abandoned their own girls here, and now they seem to have repented and want to bring their children back.

Alan asked, "Uncle Qing, do you have any marks for your doll?" ”

Uncle Qing touched his head and thought about it for a long time without thinking of it, sighing, at this time Aunt Zhang behind him sat up and hurriedly shouted: "I remember, there is a cyan birthmark on the neck of my child!" ”

Alan laughed when she heard this, she gently pulled the swaddling clothes of the child in her arms, and asked Aunt Zhang to take a closer look, and Aunt Zhang suddenly said happily: "Xiaoqing......"

Alan said: "Aunt Zhang, I saw that the child's birthmark looked like the word 'soil', so I named her Atu." ”

After that, she gently hugged the child in her arms to Aunt Zhang, who took it and looked at it for a long time, bowed deeply to Alain, and choked up with tears in her smile: "Thank you, Miss Alain......"

Alan smiled sweetly: "No thanks......"

"It's nice to have a mother......"

At this moment, I saw a slight tear in the corner of her eye.

I felt that my eyes were also damp, and I didn't want people to see me crying, so I turned my head and secretly wiped away my tears, but when I turned my head, I was surprised to see dozens of people standing behind me.

Some of these people were familiar faces, and some of them were uncles and aunts whose names they couldn't name, and they didn't know what to do with what they were still waiting there.

One of them, Caigu, stood up and asked, "Miss Alain, we also want to get our own children back, okay......

"yes, we want to bring the child back too......" A few others chimed in.

Alain's bright eyes were full of tears, and he only heard her choke up: "Okay...... I'll help you find ......."

In this short period of half an hour, in this small nursery, the deepest tragicomedy in the world is staged.

I saw some people go in and pick up their children and come out, elated.

There are also people who go in and hold their children, but they cry profusely.

There are even some who go in with hope and come out empty.

Their eyes were full of remorse, as if their hearts had been crushed by a boulder......

Some children survive, some children die of illness, life is like this, there are surprises, there are regrets......

Thankfully, all 26 children in the nursery were brought back, and not a single one remained.

After Alain had packed up all the bedding and diapers, he twisted his sideburns and leaned against the door.

She was like this, leaning against the door of the empty nursery hall alone, and stared blankly for a long time.

I quietly walked up to her side and gently patted her on the shoulder, and she turned to look at me with a calm look in her eyes.

I asked softly, "Are the kids coming home?" ”

"Hmm." She nodded obediently.

I laughed.

"Then you should go home too......"

Alain smiled too, and smiled beautifully, sweetly......
