Before the future placement of the children is determined, the children are temporarily arranged in the safest camp area, with sufficient nutritional supply, and special personnel will check the body for each of them, measure their physical data, and when the rescue personnel ask them if they are When there were other needs, the other kids didn't know how to answer, and only Berg stepped forward and said he wanted books.
"...If we want a lot of books, it's better if someone comes to teach us how to read. We've been inside for too long. If we live outside in the future, we need to learn outside knowledge."
He was obviously short, with a big head and a small body, typical of stunted physique, but Berg's eyes were extremely firm. Facing an unfamiliar adult from outside, he was not at all timid, and calmly stated his request, and then continued. He kept looking at the adult who was talking to him until the other person's face showed admiration and pity, and nodded in agreement.
"This child will be very powerful in the future." More than one adult has said this. Among a group of children, Berg is not the most beautiful, not the most intelligent, but there is no doubt that he is the most important one among the children.
He also plays with the children, but he is more like a protector. He is obviously not the oldest, but when something happens, almost all children turn to him for help.
Faced with the various toys given to them by the rescuers, many children were dazzled. Only Berg, who only played for an hour a day, would sit next to him and watch other children play, and then read a book by himself.
A smart and self-controlled kid.
Many rescuers even offered to adopt him!
You know, this is a rescuer from Sky City! Once adopted by them, it is a one-step ascension in every sense!
Berg, however, politely declined.
"They just think I'm sensible and feel sorry for me. This adoption decision was made on the spur of the moment. The book says that any guarantee made because of impulsiveness is unreliable." In just a few days, Berg started "Quoting the Scriptures"~
"Borg has read more books than you now." Glancing at the thick stack of books on the head of Berg's bed, Xiaomei said to Rong Gui.
Honor: =-=
What is this feeling of being a little crazy but suddenly relieved
Crazy is easy to understand, as for a sigh of relief...
Maybe Xiaomei has been too gentle with him recently? It's been a long time since I heard Xiaomei's poisonous tongue attack, I really miss it~
So in the next time, Ronggui was really immersed in the nostalgic atmosphere.
Berg started to ask questions. He had accumulated a lot of questions. As soon as Xiaomei came over, he asked Xiaomei all at once. Ronggui can still understand the question at the beginning, but at the back...
That... he... should have taken some notes or something
With a stiff smile on his face, Rong Gui sat tremblingly beside him.
He then simply crawled out to play with the other children.
Not to mention, Sky City's toys are high-end! He is so old that it is very novel to play. In the end, if the visit time is not over and Xiaomei pulls him back, he is probably still playing in the amusement park outside~
By the way, the open space of the children's camp has been cleaned and leveled, a safety runway has been laid, and all kinds of amusement equipment have been placed. It is really a "children's paradise".
Before leaving, Berg suddenly stopped Xiaomei in a low voice:
"Well, they asked us about those vines. We all pretended not to understand and ignored them. Brother Xiaomei, do we want to answer this? How do we answer?"
After all, he is a child. Although Berg is already very smart without a teacher, he knows the knowledge of "playing stupid", but he also knows in his heart that this knowledge cannot be used for too long.
"It's just that you planted some plants in the pipes in order to provide more food and beautify the pipes." Xiaomei said, he paused: "As for why these plants grow so big..."
"It's just the fertilizer I bought from me."
"Don't say anything else."
Others, other people will naturally help to supplement, and even supplements will be more like facts than facts - Xiaomei thought to herself.
"Ah... That's great, don't lie~" Berg let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
When he smiled, the stiffness that had always existed in his body suddenly disappeared.
Xiaomei couldn't hold back, she touched his head lightly, and said, "Don't lie."
Lying is someone else's business.
They just planted things, and he just provided fertilizer, at most, ran a little farther to fertilize... that's all.
Berg, who had put down his psychological burden, waved vigorously at Ronggui and Xiaomei, and after he and the other children forced them to leave, Berg put down the book in his hand and went to play with the other children~
He decided to play an extra hour today!
Then there is the Wang family.
The one who doesn't care about living in the multi-person barracks is Uncle Wang's family~
The big families of more than 20 people live together and don't care. It doesn't matter if there are not enough clotheslines outside. They just pulled a new rope in the house. It doesn't matter, the work of the work, the talk of the talk, and the sleep of the sleep will not interfere with each other at all!
This... is really a talent skill that can only be possessed by people born in places with extremely high population density~
What's more, after just a few days of work, the Old Wang family actually mined a small vegetable field outside the camp, never forgetting to farm! this, this, this...
Truly a racial talent!
Realizing this again, Ronggui smiled for no reason.
All of them are blond and blue-eyed foreigners, but Uncle Wang's family really brings him the feeling of his hometown all the time, and his hometown still exists!
Ronggui dragged Xiaomei into the crowded hut.
In the corner of the hut, on the quietest, cleanest and largest bed, Ronggui saw Uncle Wang.
"... I'm fine~ I'm fine~" Uncle Wang warmly welcomed them. As soon as they entered the door, all the busy Wang family members gathered over, serving tea, serving tea, pouring water, uh... Now Xiaomei can After drinking tea, Ronggui couldn't, so he could only take the towel handed over by the Wang family and wipe his paws.
"... Allen took me to ask you for help. Although I was in a coma, old man, I still remembered something."
"You really saved my life!" The old man thanked sincerely.
When the old man thanked, the juniors next to him were full of tears, and they were about to bow down, so Ronggui quickly stopped them.
"Uncle Agui told you not to worship, so don't worship. The people in our hometown are all enthusiastic and willing to help others. Uncle Agui is like this, and you will do the same in the future." The old man waved to the juniors: "You guys Go down first, I'll talk to you Uncle Agui and Uncle Mei."
Ronggui: ￣▽￣
as well as…
uncle
This inexplicable seniority... However, all kinds of inexplicable seniority seem to be Chinese characteristics
Rong Gui adjusted the back pillow for the old man, got closer, and took the old man's hand affectionately and sat on the big bed.
"Well, although I just told them not to be too polite, but I am really grateful to you." The old man also held Ronggui's hand behind his back and looked at him kindly. The old man's eyes were gentle: "You and Xiaomei saved not only me, but also the children in my family, and even Ellen..."
"Don't look at how they are now, they are busy with their little family every day, but they are actually capable and capable children, especially Alan. Alan's personality is a little more gentle now, but in essence... he is still very extreme. of."
"Maybe I take myself too seriously, but I'm really worried, if something happens to me, what will happen to Ellen, and what will happen to the group of kids outside..."
The old man looked at Ronggui quietly, his eyes fell on Xiaomei's face, Xiaomei seemed to be stunned for a moment, but the old man didn't seem to see it, just continued to look at Xiaomei until Xiaomei looked at him.
The old man smiled friendly, then the smile faded, and his eyes looked straight out of the door until he saw the ice and snow outside: "There's one thing I didn't tell you the truth at the time."
"I found Alan in the snow outside."
"When Ellen was picked up, our family had just moved from outside to where we are now."
"At that time, I didn't quite know what the prison here was. The family's livelihood was hard to find. I just wanted to see if there was any business opportunity."
"Then a man drove over there alone."
"Then, I found Alan in the snow."
"At that time, Allen was just about the same age as Marlene."
"By the way, Ma Lin is the child you rescued on the way here. Probably because of similar circumstances, that child Ellen finally picked up Ma Lin."
"The child Marlene quickly integrated into our family, but Ellen was different back then."
"I don't know what he went through inside, he locked his heart."
"Don't let yourself out, and don't let anyone in."
"I thought about it, and after taking him back, I announced to the other children that this is my long-lost eldest son."
"Because all of them were picked up by me~ Everyone is not too obsessed with the order. The order of everyone is moved down one place in order, and Aaron has become the highest-ranking person in this big family except me."
"Some people are probably born to take responsibility, they are born to take responsibility."
"Ellen is such a person."
"Become the head of the family, everyone has to ask him about everything, and wait for him to make a decision... In this way, Allen actually came out of it step by step."
"Until it became what it is now."
"Although he is a bit domineering, he is a very reliable patriarch and a very filial good son."
Hearing him say it up to now, Ronggui's surprise has been fully expressed on his face, and his expression has become a particularly perfect "囧" word!
Seeing him like this, the old man smiled slyly at him: "How about it, it's a good idea, isn't it?"
"It's very good, but... But... I always thought that Grandpa Allen..." was an old man, and... "I called him Grandpa!" Ronggui struggled.
Uncle Wang was amused: "It's good, it's good, that kid Allen likes to be called his grandpa the most."
"Just keep calling him like that~"
Fortunately, Ronggui is not a particularly tangled person. He was only bothered by this issue for a while. In the end, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he immediately let go of the question and turned to inquire about Alan's whereabouts. :
"He's been delayed over there for a while, and people want to check it~ But we received his message yesterday, and it seems that we have finally checked it out. He was brought back by the way, and it stands to reason that he should arrive in the next two days..." As Uncle Wang was talking, there was a burst of cheers from outside, and then all the Wang family members who were working outside entered the door. Everyone came in surrounded by one person. Ronggui turned his head and looked--
"Grandpa Allen!" Without hesitation, he called out.
"Yeah." It was Ellen's smile that answered him.
After striding over, after the touching scene of father and son reunion, Allen turned his head to look at Ronggui and Xiaomei, and exchanged a signal that only three people knew.
"Everything went well" - Allen said nothing to them.
Ronggui finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Alan then looked to them for the future:
"Ma Lin needs to cooperate with the proof next. They will come to ask you some questions, but don't be afraid, I will accompany you there."
"As a victim, our family will get a lot of compensation this time. They didn't want it. I negotiated with them on the road, and they doubled the original compensation."
There was a burst of cheers in the house.
Although they have gone through a lot of hardship, they are more used to looking forward.
Ronggui was also really happy for them, but in addition to being happy, he thought of the children: "I don't know if those children can get compensation, they are still underage, oh... I don't know what will happen to them in the future... "
The children still have no whereabouts, which is the hidden worry of Ronggui.
As if he understood Ronggui's heart, Allen waited until everyone finished laughing and said again, "I asked them about their future plans here."
"This place will no longer be a prison in the future, and the vines will not be demolished, just like a natural monument... This place will probably be deliberately maintained as a monumental city, and some schools may be built around it for future law enforcement officers to come every year. Study for a while and remind them of the sins that Pezer committed."
"There are too many children here. Because of their special background, it is not very suitable to be placed anywhere. It is more likely that a separate nursery will be established for them, and the location will be selected nearby."
"so-"
Allen looked at Ronggui and Xiaomei: "I asked them about the qualifications they need to raise on the way, and I also asked them about the conditions for becoming the guardians of those children."
"I have basically persuaded them that if those children are willing, our family can set up a nursery on the planet we live in in the future to specifically raise these children, which can be regarded as adopting all the children in disguise."
Rong Gui looked at him blankly.
Allen smiled: "Anyway, our family has raised so many children. If you have more children, the family will be more lively!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Allen!" With a loud cry, Rong Gui rushed over.
Throwing himself in Alan's arms, Ronggui turned back to look at Xiaomei, meaning that Xiaomei would also come over.
Xiaomei hesitated, hesitated... Ellen just smiled, and then took the initiative to reach out and hug Xiaomei together.
Xiaomei quietly enjoyed this hug.
In my memory, the image of the blond man staring at him coldly... slowly disappeared in this embrace.
That night, the camp asked the children about their wishes, asking them if they would like to be raised by the nursery that Allen set up.
All the children nodded.
So, this matter is settled.
The next day, those who did not need to serve their sentences were transferred out one after another.
Ronggui also decided to follow Alan back to Chinatown first.
