Little angel, because your purchase rate is insufficient, you can only see the anti-theft stamp for the time being. "Su Meng, have you thought about it? Decide who to go with?"
An old and unfamiliar voice sounded in Su Meng's ears. Although the voice seemed unfamiliar, she had the impression that she had heard these words before.
It seems that more than ten years ago, someone asked her this question when they wanted to adopt her and her sister Su Sui.
She and her only biological sister Su Sui are only three years apart. But these three years old made the fate of the two people very different.
When she was sixteen, she and Su Sui lost their parents due to an earthquake. At that time, facing the ruins, they were terrified, helpless, and had no idea what to do.
Fortunately, there are still many enthusiastic people in the society. They came from all over the country to deliver water, food, quilts and love to the victims in the disaster-stricken areas.
But her home was completely destroyed by the earthquake. Having lost her parents and relatives, without much social experience, and with no guarantee of life, she had no idea how she and her sister could survive in this society.
At this time, a kind-hearted couple extended a helping hand to her.
This retired couple has only one son at home, but this son has been studying abroad since he was a child and rarely returns home all year round.
The couple had a cat and a dog at home, but even though they had both a cat and a dog, they still felt lonely. After all, no matter how considerate cats and dogs are, they can't chat with them and have heart-to-heart conversations like humans can.
After learning about the Sichuan earthquake, they came from the imperial capital overnight just to dedicate their love. After learning that many children in the disaster area had lost their parents, they had the idea of adopting a child.
At that time, when they saw Su Meng holding her sister and standing in front of the makeshift tent with a helpless look on her face, they came up with the idea of adopting her.
But the couple is old and has limited energy. Since they have decided to have sex, they naturally have the idea of training their children to become talents. You can't just adopt a child and let it go free, right? So according to them, they just want to adopt a child and then spend all their energy on her.
But there are two people, Su Meng and Su Sui. What should we do
It just so happened that at that time there was another couple who also wanted to adopt a child. The retired couple discussed with that couple that their family would adopt Su Meng and the other couple would adopt Su Sui. In this way, both sisters would have a place to go. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds
The couple was pretty easy to talk to, so they had no problem with it.
Originally, things should have been settled like this, and everyone was happy. But at the end of the day, things took a turn for the worse. Because Su Sui didn't know why, she suddenly became unhappy.
She was not happy to go to that house, but wanted to interact with Su Meng. In other words, she wanted to go to the house of the older retired couple.
Su Meng asked Su Sui why she was unhappy. Su Sui only said that she thought the older people looked kinder and felt easier to get along with, so she wanted to go to their home.
Su Sui is pretty and smart, and everyone in her family loves her, including Su Meng.
Su Meng has liked this sweet-looking sister since she was a child and has taken special care of her. In the past, Su Meng would give her whatever she wanted.
Although Su Meng was a little hesitant about the adoption this time, she finally compromised under Su Sui's sweet bombardment. In the end, she came forward and discussed with the retired couple who originally wanted to adopt her that she and Su Sui could be exchanged.
"Su Meng, what's wrong? Have you thought about it?"
These old but gentle words successfully brought Su Meng back from her thoughts.
She blinked blankly, trying to open her eyes wide, and then she slightly adjusted to the light in front of her.
This is indoors, the environment is very simple, and it is obviously a temporary place. She was sitting at a round table, and across from her, two couples were sitting.
At this moment, both couples looked at her eagerly.
This environment is very familiar to Su Meng. Because she had already experienced it more than ten years ago. Until this moment, she was still a little unresponsive.
Didn't she accidentally fall down the stairs while carrying a bucket of water? She thought she would not die or be injured, but why did she show up here instead of the hospital
Appearing at this time when her life took a huge turn
She remembers this scene. If she remembered correctly, yesterday she had just offered the retired couple the opportunity to adopt their family to Su Sui, while she herself went with another couple. So now, this is the moment where two couples confirm her choice to her
Su Meng was about to speak, but at this time, Su Sui carefully pulled the hem of her clothes and called her uneasily, "Sister?" This voice was not so much a call to her as a call to her. remind. Remind her not to forget the agreement between them.
Hearing this timid and somewhat childish voice, Su Meng's heart was no longer filled with the love and affection she once had, but with annoyance, anger, and grievance.
She didn't understand why she was so kind to Su Sui and did everything a sister could do to the extreme, but she only received the same treatment from the other party.
Su Meng took a deep breath.
She didn't know if this was a dream. But even if it was just a dream that was about to break, she still wanted to make a different choice from the last time.
And this was originally her life!
The old couple originally fancied her.
It was she who gave up all this to Su Sui under Su Sui's numerous requests.
In fact, she has never regretted this decision, even after receiving the cold treatment from Su Sui. Because this is her own choice, even if she makes the wrong decision, she has to bear the consequences of her choice.
But if she could do it again, she would never give up this precious opportunity to Su Sui again.
Su Meng took a deep breath, faced the old couple, suppressed her heartbeat, and said solemnly, word by word, "Grandpa Ling, I thought about it all night, and finally decided that I will go to the Imperial Capital with you."
"Sister?" Su Sui asked sharply in disbelief after hearing this. Her voice changed slightly due to surprise.
Su Meng did not look back at Su Sui.
She only looked at the old couple in front of her nervously.
In her last life, it took a long time for her to realize that the old couple in front of her, who looked very simple and generous, and looked no different from other old people, actually had a lot of history.
Mr. Ling was a high-ranking general before he retired. Although it is said that when people leave, the tea will cool down, but this sentence is not very applicable to Mr. Ling. Even though he has retired for many years, his prestige in the imperial capital has not diminished at all. What's more, he also has an exceptionally good son who can take over. As for Mr. Ling's wife, Granny Zhang, her family background is also very unusual. Her father was also an excellent soldier. At that time, Mr. Ling was still her father's direct subordinate. Because they were about the same age, they went back and forth. After they saw each other, they got married. And she herself is a retired professor of the music department of the first university in the imperial capital.
