The other children noticed this sensitively, and one of them, a petite girl of eight or nine years old, immediately said: "Uncles and aunts, he is Du Dian, he has a problem with his brain, he likes to be in a daze, and he can't speak, don't take it for granted. "
Although she is not very old, the cruel living environment made her learn extremely cleverly. What she said was very clever. She didn't appear to be jealous, but also pointed out Du Dian's flaws, and acted like a good boy.
"Yeah yeah!"
"Uncles and aunts, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
The other children reacted belatedly and quickly agreed.
Barton and several other children who lived in the same room as Du Dian looked at the little girl who took the lead in surprise, as if they didn't expect her to speak out. At this moment, they couldn't help but look ugly when they heard the words of children from other healthy factions, but they dared not Help Du Dian to speak, for fear of leaving a bad impression on these adults.
Du Di glanced at the little girl lightly, and was a little surprised in his heart. From his impression of the past three months, he remembered that this little girl was one of the few healthy children with a kind personality. Even Barton and other deformed children never spoke ill of each other, especially this little girl, who was very gentle to everyone. Even Barton and other deformed children mentioned her in private chats, and they were full of praise.
Du Dian also has a good impression of her, remember her name, it seems to be... Lisa
Sure enough, he was still a little naive.
At this time, when these adults heard Lisa's words, their eyes suddenly showed a hint of surprise. It is no wonder that a child with such clean skin and such delicate appearance will be abandoned. For a while, many adults felt sorry.
Seeing the expressions of the adults, Lisa and the other able-bodied children were immediately relieved.
"Uncles and aunts."
In vain, without any warning, a childish voice sounded from the crowd, and all the children and adults looked in surprise. Immediately, all the children widened their eyes, as if seeing a ghost, because it was Du Dian who spoke!
During these three months of living in the orphanage, Du Dian observed and listened carefully every day in silence, and learned a lot of simple expressions, and the orphanage also taught basic speech and pronunciation, even the dilapidated orphanage was no exception, but inside it was a Infants around the age of 10, although he did not join, he learned a lot from eavesdropping.
It's just that the people around him have long regarded him as dumb, and they usually communicate with him with gestures, and no one comes to chat with him, so he simply doesn't bother to speak, and is happy to be quiet.
"I don't have any problems with me." Du Dian said calmly and seriously.
The immature voice actually gave people an undeniable illusion.
He didn't specifically accuse Lisa of lying and take revenge on her, because there was no need to do so.
The adults were a little surprised, and seemed to understand something in the next moment. They cast their angry eyes on Lisa who had spoken earlier. When they saw the shocked expression on the little girl's face, they couldn't help being slightly startled. Soon the adults found out that other The child also looked surprised, only then did he realize that the problem was not with the little girl, but with Du Dian.
For a while, many adults frowned.
One of the middle-aged men with a strong build and dark complexion said with a sullen face: "Looking at their expressions, it seems that they don't even know that you can speak. Can you tell me why you want to hide it from them?"
The most taboo thing for adults is to adopt a child who is full of thoughts and has no sense of security.
Du Dian knew that he had stepped on a line in the hearts of these people, but he was very calm, and said: "I didn't deliberately hide it from them, but I am autistic and don't like to talk. They treat me as a dumb, so I let them go .”
Hearing his words, the coldness in the eyes of the adults gradually eased. Most orphans have autism, and they understand and understand.
"Even if you're autistic, it's impossible for you to grow up in the orphanage without saying a word, right?" A fat-faced woman in the crowd asked suspiciously.
Before Du Dian could speak, Aunt Dai next to him said first: "It's like this, this kid likes to be clean, we specially allocated him a separate room, so there is no chance to communicate with other children."
As soon as these words came out, Du Dian, Barton, and the other children were all taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Aunt Dai was lying. No child in the orphanage can enjoy a room alone.
Du Dian's heart moved, and he immediately understood. In this regard, today's orphanages are similar to the old orphanages. They will pack the children in the yard to perfection and cover up the flaws to the minimum. If these adults You know, Du Dian has only been admitted to the hospital for three months. No matter how good his conditions are, no one is willing to adopt him, because a seven or eight-year-old child already has memories, and he must remember his biological parents. No one can guarantee that he will be raised as an adult. , Will he leave himself to find his parents again.
Knowing this, Du Dian's heart sank slightly, and he glanced at the other children, only to see those healthy children and Lisa, who seemed to be about to say something, at this moment, Du Dian saw Aunt Dai with her back to the adults , glared fiercely at Lisa and the children who were about to speak, their faces paled in fright.
In the orphanage, Aunt Dai has the power of life and death over all of them. As long as Aunt Dai says a word, they will never have the chance to be adopted.
As for why Aunt Dai helped him, of course Du Dian would not narcissistically think that he had any special charisma, but that the sooner he was adopted, the less food would be consumed in the orphanage.
"So that's how it is." Seeing Du Dian's pale complexion like snow, the fat-faced woman came to her senses, looked at him sympathetically, and said, "My child, I have chosen you, and you will be my child from now on."
As soon as this remark came out, Barton and several other children who had a good relationship were immediately pleasantly surprised, as if they had been adopted themselves, and were happy for Du Dian.
When Du Dian heard the words, he looked at the clothes and palms of the fat-faced woman for the first time. Seeing that her fingers were rough, she could not help but frowned slightly. Just as she was about to refuse, another person suddenly said with a smile: "I think this child is very pleasing to the eye, and I think that, based on my conditions, I am more suitable to be the parent of this child."
Everyone looked at it, and it was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance, with a faint smile on his face.
The fat-faced woman's complexion changed, and she said coldly, "Really, I'd like to hear what kind of big shot you are."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and said: "I can't talk about a big man, I'm just a small gardener in the Mel family."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. The children didn't react too much, but the surrounding adults couldn't help but change their colors. Some of them whispered: "The Mel family? Could it be the Mel family?"
"Besides the Mel family, which Mel family needs a gardener?"
For a moment, everyone looked at the middle-aged man with a bit of awe.
The fat-faced woman's face was slightly pale, she lowered her head and remained silent.
"How is it, child?" The middle-aged man was very satisfied with the reactions of others, and looked at Du Dian with a smile.
Lisa and other children, including the deformed children like Barton, also saw some clues at this moment, and looked at Du Dian with envy and envy. It would be good if they could be adopted, but Du Dian was being scrambled. Not jealous
Du Dian frowned slightly, thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Sorry, uncle, thank you for looking after me, but I hope my parents are doctors, so I feel more secure."
This is declined.
The middle-aged man was a little stunned. He didn't seem to expect that Du Dian would refuse. He had been to many orphanages looking for children who were close to his eyes. All those children were excited when they heard that they could be adopted. How could there be someone like Du Dian? Calm and speak methodically.
Soon, the middle-aged people came to their senses. Although everyone in the Meishan family knew about this outer wall area, these children didn't know it. They didn't even know what a "gardener" was. After all, the worlds they lived in were too far apart.
Of course Du Dian knew what a gardener was, and also knew from the expressions of those adults that this "Mel family" must be a huge monster, but even if it only had a name.
He also didn't want his parents to be servants of a manor.
