The sky gradually darkened and the weather became colder. Although it is cold now, it is still not too cold during the day. But in the evening, the temperature difference is big.
Xuanxuan and Lele were having a great time with their friends in the orphanage. Qi found them early and smiled, "It's time to go back..."
"Ah, so early! Mommy, can we come later?"
"Yes, Mommy, can it be later?!" Xuanxuan also said.
A little girl suddenly rushed out, with a pink face, "Auntie, can we leave later?"
Qi Zao Zao was stunned.
The little girl was a little shy, her big, twinkling eyes blinked, and she didn't dare to look into Qi Zaozao's eyes.
"Are you leaving now?" Sister Song came.
Qi Zao Zao smiled and said, "Well, it's getting late. I need to take the children to find a place to live... It won't be safe if it gets dark."
"Mommy..." Lele called out weakly.
The little girl also secretly glanced at Qi Zaozao and didn't dare to speak.
Qi Zao Zao smiled and patted the little guy's head, "We will come again tomorrow, and don't forget to go back to City A. There is still a chance!"
"All right!"
"All right!"
Just when the two children agreed, Sister Song said, "You can live here with your children. There are many empty rooms here, and there are not many people in the orphanage now. You also left here, and it was not easy to come here."
"Will this be troublesome?" Although Qi Zao Zao really wanted to stay, she didn't want to trouble Sister Song if it was troublesome.
"How can it be a trouble? It's not a trouble. If possible, you can help take care of your Aunt Feng these days. I'm afraid I'm a little busy these days... Sister Feng used to have someone to take care of her, but that girl likes to play. She has been out for several months and hasn't come back. If she hadn't called occasionally, I would have thought she was missing... While I'm busy these few days, can you help me take care of Sister Feng and these children?"
"Okay!" Qi Zao Zao smiled sweetly.
She was very happy and had wanted to live here in the first place. Anyway, she was not working now and she was very happy to be able to accompany Aunt Feng and these children.
Sister Song laughed, "You're asking me if it's troublesome. I should be the one asking you..."
"No, no..."
Just like that, Qi Zao settled down here temporarily. Xuanxuan and Lele were extremely happy about this. The little girl was called Nana, and she couldn't help but feel happy after hearing this.
There are fewer and fewer people in the orphanage, and there are not as many orphans as before. In this town, many places have been demolished, and it is estimated that this place will be demolished soon. I don’t know what will happen to these children. This is what Sister Song said.
The cook was a mute auntie with white hair. Qi Zaozao didn't recognize her. She couldn't speak, but just smiled when she saw people. Then she brought out the food and served it to the children.
Qi had dinner with the children early in the morning, and then she went to take care of Aunt Feng. As Sister Song had said, after feeding Aunt Feng, she wiped her hands and feet. It was not until around eight o'clock that she finished.
Lele was having a lot of fun playing with the little girl named Nana. When Qi came early, Xuanxuan ran off to somewhere unknown.
"Le Le, where's Xuan Xuan?"
"Xuanxuan is in the next room!" Lele said without turning his head, playing two little bees with Nana.
Qi Zaozao looked at him and smiled, then went to the next room. The light in the next room seemed to be broken, and there was only a table lamp. When Qi Zaozao opened the door, Xuanxuan just turned around and looked at her.
"Mommy..."
Qi Zao Zao looked around the room and his eyes fell on Xuan Xuan, "What are you doing here?"
Xuanxuan stretched out his hand and pointed under the table, "She hasn't eaten yet..."
Qi Zao Zao was stunned.
She was a little girl who looked younger than Xuanxuan and Lele. She was not as lively as Nana. The girl under the table had ordinary facial features, but when those ordinary features were combined together, they were extraordinary. Although she was young, she was very quiet, and her eyes seemed to be able to speak when she looked at you.
"Didn't you eat?"
"Yes, I didn't see her come out. She didn't eat or talk... Mommy, she seems sick..."
Qi Zaozao walked over and squatted down to take a look, then she could see more clearly. The little girl's face was a little pale. When she saw Qi Zaozao looking at her like this, she bit her lower lip slightly, lowered her eyes, hugged her knees with both hands, and didn't say a word.
"What's your name?"
The other party remained silent.
"Mommy, I talked to her so much, but she didn't answer me..."
Qi Zao Zao looked at the distressed Xuan Xuan, then looked at the little girl with a smile on his face, "Are you scared?"
The little girl's shoulders trembled.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. My name is Qi Zaozao, you can call me Aunt Zaozao. He is Xuanxuan, and they have a younger brother named Lele. During this time, we will be here to take care of you. Xuanxuan and Lele can also play with you. Don't be afraid, okay?"
"..." The little girl raised her eyes with a curious look, as if she was curious about something, but she immediately lowered her eyes.
Qi Zao Zao was very patient and moved a little closer, "If you are sick, you need to take medicine..."
"I don't want to take medicine!" she spoke, her voice still a little childish, immature, and a little stubborn.
The voice is still a little hoarse.
"If you don't take the medicine, you have to be obedient, otherwise you will feel very uncomfortable..."
The little girl actually frowned.
The frowning look made him look a little mischievous, and Qi Zao Zao couldn't help laughing when he saw it.
She looked at Qi Zaozao again.
At this moment, Qi Zaozao walked over and grabbed her small hand with her warm big hand. The cold little hand was wrapped in Qi Zaozao's palm.
"Eat, then have a good sleep. Xuanxuan and I will be with you at night, and you won't be afraid..."
The little girl's eyes were flickering.
The little girl had only been in the orphanage for a short time, and Sister Song didn't want to take her in at first, but seeing that she looked so pitiful, she took her in.
The little girl is called Ruirui. She is sensitive and doesn’t like to play with other children. Most of the time, she sits alone in her room looking at the scenery outside. When someone comes, she stays under the table and doesn’t come out.
Qi Zaozao persuaded the little guy for a long time before he was willing to come out to eat. She didn't want to trouble the mute aunt, so she went to the kitchen to heat up the food and then cooked some millet porridge.
After Ruirui finished her meal, she sat alone by the window without saying a word. She just lowered her head and touched her fingers, feeling a little uneasy.
Xuanxuan was also sitting beside her, looking at her with his head tilted, curious, his little brows slightly furrowed.
Qi went to bed very late on the first night staying in the orphanage. Lele and Nana played until very late before going to bed. After making Lele's bed, Qi went to see Xuanxuan and Ruirui.
Ruirui actually fell asleep on the stool. Qi Zaozao was also drunk. The temperature was low that night, so it would be strange if he didn't catch a cold.
Xuanxuan hadn't gone to bed yet. When Qi Zaozao came in, he held the quilt with his small body and wanted to cover Ruirui with it. Qi Zaozao was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth when she saw it.
He walked over quickly, hugged the quilt, and said, "I'll..."
"Mommy..."
"Shh..."
Xuanxuan didn't say anything. Qi put the quilt on the bed early, and then carefully carried Ruirui to the bed. The little guy was still a little heavy. He waited until Ruirui was arranged before planning to take Xuanxuan out. However, Xuanxuan whispered, "Mommy, didn't you say you would accompany Ruirui tonight?"
"Yeah, but isn't Ruirui asleep?"
"Rarity will be scared..."
Qi Zao Zao looked around the room and saw two small beds next to it. "Then shall we accompany Rui Rui?"
"good!"
Qi Zao Zao brought the sleeping Lele over. It was suitable for Xuanxuan and Lele to sleep in one bed and she to sleep in another bed.
Qi Zaozao turned off the lights, but just as she did so, Ruirui suddenly woke up and stared at Qi Zaozao with wide eyes. Qi Zaozao was almost scared.
After realizing what was happening, he comforted Ruirui, "Don't be afraid, Xuanxuan, Lele and I are all in the room with Ruirui to sleep..."
Ruirui also saw Xuanxuan and Lele. Lele fell asleep and Xuanxuan waved at Ruirui.
And smiled.
Qi Zao Zao seemed to know that Rui Rui was very uneasy, and patted her on the chest, "We won't leave, don't be afraid..."
"Really?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you..."
This child is too sensitive.
Qi Zaozao didn't find out until the next day that the children in the orphanage didn't like Ruirui because of her introverted personality. Nana, the most lively one, didn't like to play with Ruirui, and Ruirui wouldn't take the initiative to look for those children. But even so, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask to sleep with the other children.
She likes to turn on the light when she goes to bed. The main light in the room is broken, so she turns on the desk lamp. However, every time Sister Song comes over, she will turn off the light. But as soon as Sister Song leaves, Ruirui will turn on the light again.
That night, Ruirui did not turn on the lights, and Qi Zaozao, Xuanxuan and Lele all slept in that room.
Qi got up early and went to the kitchen to help make breakfast.
When breakfast was almost ready, I greeted the children and went to the room to see Xuanxuan and Lele.
Before I even entered, I heard Nana's voice, "Didn't you say you were going to sleep with me? You lied to me! You slept in the same room with her, Lele, I hate you!"
Qi Zaozao smiled when he heard this.
"I don't know how I ended up here. Maybe my mommy carried me here. Xuanxuan is also here. I don't sleep with her alone. Besides, I don't know her!" Lele's voice.
Xuanxuan said, "Her name is Ruirui."
Lele looked over and pouted, then saw a figure from behind. Ruirui was hiding in the quilt without saying a word.
"I don't know her! Nana, don't be angry!" Lele said to Nana again.
Qi Zao Zao smiled and shook his head, what a child's mind. (To be continued)
