For more than two years, Xia Chenghao and An Xiaoya lived peacefully in Mary's Orphanage.

Someone originally wanted a son, but he couldn't find out the origin of the child, and the set of barcodes on the back of his neck had a sense of foreboding, which always made people associate with the underworld, so Xia Chenghao grew up to nine years old, and still no one adopted him.

The nurse aunt in the hospital explained that there was basically no hope of growing to such a big age.

An Xiaoya still has some hope, she is beautiful and cute, everyone likes it, but because she lost her care, she is a little weak, and she has been sick for the past two years.

An Xiaoya still likes to eat marshmallows and still likes to cry, every time she cries, she has to lean on Xia Chenghao's chest, and only after her brother's chest is wet by her that she slowly stops.

At that time, Xia Chenghao would always raise his head vigorously, look at the sky, and watch the wind and clouds change, and sometimes suddenly he would be the smiling faces of his parents. Tears that had not been shed for years began to flow freely, and the wind from the woods blew them dry.

Aunt Huang exchanged the two hundred tin yuan given by the large-mouthed crocodile man for a small amount of money, and then gave it to the nurse aunt, telling her to give Xia Chenghao a little every few weeks.

Therefore, he will always find a way to get marshmallows for An Xiaoya to eat, firstly, to supplement some nutrition, and secondly, this is his promise to his sister, so that he will be as dignified as living in an alley.

The child's grief came and went quickly, and after a long time, Xia Chenghao began to laugh again, accompanied by his sister's giggling, and appeared on the row of small stone benches in Mary's orphanage.

An Xiaoya began to cry less and laugh more, when she was more than six years old and almost seven years old, she smiled when she saw Xia Chenghao, as if her brother had a big marshmallow on his face.

She also likes to let her brother carry her around, and whenever she climbs on Xia Chenghao's shoulder, she laughs uncontrollably, pulls his hair, and grabs his ears when she is happy, and the two of them giggle together.

The grandmothers and aunts basking in the sun at the gate of the courtyard would always point to them and talk.

"The brother and sister, the relationship is so good!"

"It's rare, Chenghao's kid is too sensible. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid that girl wouldn't have laughed a long time ago. ”

"God is jealous!"

Xia Chenghao likes to see his sister laugh very much, not only because laughing is better than crying, but also because he always amuses her with jokes, which is very fulfilling. It's just that the jokes he learned have been repeated to her for several years, and even Xiaoya can recite them backwards when she sees that she can tell them again.

"Xiaoya, marshmallow, and jokes."

Every time he magically pulls out a cloud of snow from behind him, and with a smug grimace, it is his standard appearance line.

An Xiaoya raised her little face with big watery eyes, and shouted happily: "Wow! My brother is so good, I want to eat marshmallows and listen to jokes! ”

Warmth, it has been staged thousands of times in the orphanage, but it is still so warm and touching.

"Brother, why do other people's brothers and sisters have the same surname? But ......, your surname is Xia and my surname is An? ”

Xia Chenghao was a little embarrassed by the question that his sister suddenly asked, and thought for a long time before answering: "Ha, you don't understand this!" My father's surname is my father's, and your mother's surname. ”

"Aunt Huang said, my mother's surname is Shu." My sister, who is almost seven years old, has already understood many things.

Xia Chenghao was hesitant, so he could only make up a temporary reason to prevaricate, "Then maybe Mom's father's surname is An!" Why do you care so much? As long as the name is good, whatever your surname is, it's my sister. ”

"Brother, you're the best, oh! I have an older brother surnamed Xia, and you have a younger sister surnamed An. ”

Such a conversation has only happened once, and in Xia Chenghao's twenty-seven years of memory, it only happened once.

Even today, twenty-seven years later, he still hasn't figured out what this is all about, and it will take a long time to get an answer about his parents' background and the secret of the only biocyborg on Grims.

The days of dependence will always end, there is no feast in the world, and the child should always have a real home, and the budget of Mary's orphanage is tight, it is difficult to raise the child to adulthood, and every adult in the hospital is trying to find a suitable place for the child.

On this day, it was very hot, the dean's office was cool, and the old-fashioned electric fan brought out the cool breeze, although it was not as good as those smart air conditioners in the city, but the dean was already very satisfied.

He patted Xia Chenghao on the shoulder and was doing ideological work: "Chenghao, if it is really good for your sister, then you should let her have a better life." Having a family that loves her is much stronger than here, so that she can grow up healthily. ”

Xia Chenghao bit his lower lip tightly, his mouth was bitter and salty, tears began to roll in his eyes but he never wanted to fall, he had been confronting Dean Ding for more than an hour, and in the end he nodded helplessly, and crystal tears slowly overflowed his eyes.

Dean Ding gently stroked Xia Chenghao's hair, his heart was a little gloomy, but at the same time he was happy, and said kindly: "You are a good child, you can go to see your sister when you grow up, don't be sad, she will grow up happily." ”

Seeing that his brother and sister were about to separate, he was gloomy and rejoiced that he had found a new home for his children. Complex emotions make this person who has been the dean for most of his life knock over the five-flavor bottle in his heart every time.

An Xiaoya is going with a middle-aged couple with no children, it seems that the family conditions are quite good, and all you can see is at least an air-powered car and a holographic mobile phone.

These equipment configurations, measured by the consumption level of Baogang at this time, belong to the upper class families.

All day, An Xiaoya was looking for Xia Chenghao everywhere, he didn't hide in the hide-and-seek tree, and he didn't lie under the bed.

Xiaoya had fine beads of sweat on her forehead, her combed hair was messy, her face was red, she was panting rapidly, she kept calling her brother in her mouth, and she cried for most of the day, but still no one answered.

In fact, Xia Chenghao could hear his sister's call, so he hid in the warehouse of Mary's Orphanage and refused to come out, holding the marshmallow that was about to melt in his hand, as if he was holding a thousand threads of thought.

The sun was about to set, and in the dusk sunset, An Xiaoya cried loudly, and her hoarse voice pierced everyone's hearts.

"Xiaoya, brother is here!"

When An Xiaoya heard the voice, she turned her head in surprise, and after two seconds of standing, she rushed over like crazy, almost fell under her feet, and quickly threw herself into her brother's arms and cried bitterly, tears like a river that has opened the floodgates, and she couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Auntie said you want to send me away?"

"Don't cry! Well, my brother will give you marshmallows and tell you jokes. Xia Chenghao habitually comforted her, but found that the marshmallows he had held for a day in his hand had long since melted, and only empty bamboo skewers remained.

"Brother, they also said that they won't let you be together."

Xia Chenghao wanted to explain that his brother was too big and no one wanted him, or the dean said that Xiaoya could go to live a better life, that adults could hurt, that she could go to school, that she could eat, and that she would even have toys, etc., but she couldn't say all the reasons, she only knew that it was the most correct choice and the only choice to let her sister go.

Although he vowed in front of his parents' graves to take good care of An Xiaoya for the rest of his life, it is now very difficult to even make himself live well, let alone take care of his sister.

Ben also expected his sister to leave, but he didn't expect this moment to come so quickly.
