Rebirth of the Wild Age

Since Time Cafe was stolen last year, no computer was placed on the first floor, but a new one was bought and placed upstairs.

Today is the weekend, and Doudou and his friends are playing Warcraft 2 online. The two little girls, who had no ladylike image at the moment, slapped the keyboard and yelled.

The little friend is Dou Xiaoxiao, who also transferred from another school two years ago, and her father is an associate professor at Fudan University. What a girl who loves to study, she was spoiled by Doudou and became a complete internet addict.

Next door, Lin Zhuoyun was holding a copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare, reciting the difficult old English script, and the awkward spelling and sentence structure made her want to vomit.

Suddenly the landline phone rang, Lin Zhuoyun yawned, picked up the phone and said, Hello, who is it?

A standard customer service voice came from the phone: Hello, miss, congratulations on becoming the 10,000th lucky customer of our company. Please bring your ID card to our company to collect the prize. The address is...

Lin Zhuoyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and immediately interrupted: Song Weiyang, please speak humanly!

Can you hear this? I'm holding my throat, a standard baritone voice like broadcasting. Song Weiyang said.

Don't make trouble, I'm bothered, old English is like bird language. Lin Zhuoyun said.

Song Weiyang said, Why are you touching that thing?

Lin Zhuoyun said: I have a course called Selected Lectures of English Poetry and Drama. After learning, I suddenly became interested in Shakespeare, and then asked a friend to send an original English edition of Shakespeare.

Song Weiyang said: You don't want to memorize all Shakespeare's works, do you?

Of course it's impossible. I'm full, Lin Zhuoyun said. I only memorize a few classic plays. Let me tell you, Old English is too difficult. Some of the words on it can't be found in the dictionary. I do not know what that means.

Alright, memorize it if you like, Song Weiyang said, I'll tell you something.

Lin Zhuoyun asked: Have you returned to Shenghai?

No, Song Weiyang said, I went to the bathroom two days ago and picked up a baby girl.

Baby girl? Lin Zhuoyun asked in surprise.

Song Weiyang said: Yes. She was thrown into the drain of the dry toilet and almost died of methane gas poisoning. Hong Weiguo jumped into the septic tank to carry her up.

Lin Zhuoyun said: It's okay, it's okay, luck is great. Have you found her biological parents?

Song Weiyang said: The police did a simple investigation and suspected that it was a rural couple who rented nearby. The couple rented a house a month ago, and the woman was a pregnant woman. I gave birth to it by myself, and it’s almost fatal. Now both of them are missing, and there is no one to be found.”

Don't you need an ID card to rent a house? Check your household registration. Lin Zhuoyun said.

The owner of the house just glanced at the certificate and remembered which township it is from, Song Weiyang said. If you want to find someone, you have to go to the township to do a big investigation. Don't say that the police in the city don't want to go, just go , the police in the village are too lazy to cooperate. The workload is too much, and there is no benefit, so the police will not worry about it.

Lin Zhuoyun said angrily: How can this be? Do all the policemen have nothing to do?

Song Weiyang said with a smile: The police also have difficulties. If they take care of this matter, it is estimated that two or three policemen in the police station will not be able to do other jobs in the past few months. Even if the parents of the girl doll are found, it may be too late. Will be abandoned again, not as good as it is now.

Oh, how pitiful. Lin Zhuoyun sighed.

Song Weiyang said: I want my mother or my sister-in-law to adopt me, so I'll let you know first.

Lin Zhuoyun smiled and said, Then let them adopt it, why tell me?

Song Weiyang said: If I don't say hello to you in advance, what if you come to my house as a guest this year and suddenly find that there is an extra little girl who suspects that it is my illegitimate daughter?

Illegitimate daughter? Hahahaha. Lin Zhuoyun suddenly laughed.

Is it that funny? Song Weiyang was confused.

Lin Zhuoyun said: As soon as you mentioned illegitimate daughters, I suddenly thought of the plots in Hong Kong and Taiwan TV dramas. There are also property disputes, family infighting, and finally a first love. The boy, the boy's mother said: You cannot marry, you are brothers and sisters!

Stop watching stupid TV shows from now on! Song Weiyang couldn't laugh or cry.

...

The baby girl has been released from the hospital and is being fostered at the house of the aunt who held her that day.

The main reason is that Song Weiyang and Hong Weiguo, two big men, don't know how to take care of their children, and they don't bother to change their children's diapers. Even diapers can't be bought in that poor county.

If ten years later, an abandoned baby appears in the jurisdiction, it will definitely be a big deal for the local police station.

But it was a trivial matter at this time, since Song Weiyang was willing to adopt, the police didn't even bother to file a case, just let him take the girl home directly.

Song Weiyang was speechless and threw several cigarettes at the police station before the policemen agreed to file a case and conduct a simple community investigation nearby. Determined that it was difficult to find the girl's biological parents, Song Weiyang asked the police station to issue a certificate to clearly describe the ins and outs of the matter and avoid leaving any details.

The laid-off man with glasses next door found some baby clothes, threw them to his aunt and said, Sister Du, these are my son's childhood clothes. They have been scalded with boiling water and cleaned.

The aunt glanced casually: You are at least half-year-old wearing it, it doesn't fit you well.

The man with glasses smiled and said, Keep it, she can wear it when she grows up.

The neighbors in the tube building, as long as they don't go to work, have to find time to come and see them these two days. They definitely don't want to be adopted, but they are all very enthusiastic. After all, this is a little life saved by everyone working together.

Upstairs, Granny Chen held the child in her arms and contacted: This little face is so cute, it's so painful, I want to take it home and raise it.

Sister Gui, who lived on the first floor, said with a smile, Then you can take it home and treat it as if you have an extra granddaughter.

Granny Chen shook her head again and again: No, no, milk powder is too expensive, and my family can't afford it.

The man with glasses handed Song Weiyang a low-quality cigarette without a filter, and asked, When will little brother leave?

The day after tomorrow, Song Weiyang lit up his cigarette and took a puff, and said in surprise, Hey, this cigarette is quite mellow, how much is a pack?

The man with glasses smiled and said, Cigarettes produced in Hubei Province were sold for 50 cents a pack a few years ago, but now they have risen to 80 cents. And it is not easy to sell, and the goods are getting less and less. I guess it will take another two years to think about it. Can’t even buy it.”

325 cards? Song Weiyang studied it carefully, I seem to have a little impression, I remember my uncle drew it when I was young.

Poor people smoke, said the man with glasses. You will be laughed at if you smoke outside. If I hadn't been laid off, I wouldn't have bought 325 if I was killed.

Song Weiyang asked, Why don't you go out and look for a job?

The man with glasses said: Look at me, I'm as thin as a hemp stick, and I can't lift my hands or shoulders. What kind of job can I find? I went to polish shoes for a few days. I really can't make any money. It's better to stay at home. write an essay.

Yo, you can still write articles? Song Weiyang laughed.

I also graduated from a technical secondary school before. My dream was to be a writer. Later, I was assigned to work as a clerical officer in the factory, and gradually became the director of the factory office. The man with glasses shook his head and smiled bitterly. Instead, I was investigated and I was dismissed as a cadre. Afterwards, I was just dawdling, and I was finally laid off last year.

Song Weiyang asked, Has the article been published?

The man with glasses said proudly: I have posted a lot, all of which are tofu articles in the newspaper supplement. My poetry and prose are good, and I am also a member of the County Writers Association.

Song Weiyang took out his business card and said, I think you are a nice person. If you want to find a serious job, you can go to the Xifeng sales branch in the provincial capital as a clerk. If you behave well, you can be the secretary of the branch manager.

Song Weiyang? Xifeng Company? The man with glasses suddenly came to his senses, You are...you are that...

Hush! Song Weiyang laughed, Don't spread the word.

The man with glasses suppressed his voice and said, I saw you in the newspaper, but I never remembered it before.

Song Weiyang pulled the man with glasses to the aisle outside, took out a pile of banknotes and said, I'm going to take this girl home and give it to my mother to adopt. She can be considered my sister. After I leave, you can give me the money. Everyone is divided, and I will thank everyone on behalf of my sister.

No, no! The man with glasses quickly shied away.

Take it, it's not easy for everyone, Song Weiyang said, I trust your character, so I hand over the money to you.

The man with glasses said: Then I'll accept it. Boss Song, don't worry, I guarantee with my personality that I won't take it for myself!

On the day he left the small county, Hong Weiguo rented a camera and called all the neighbors involved in rescuing the baby girl.

Song Weiyang stood in the middle with the child in his arms, surrounded by more than 30 people. As the flash lights up, smiling faces are frozen on the film, and time seems to freeze at that moment forever.

Xiao Song, bring my sister back to play often!

Xiao Song, here are some boiled eggs, you can save them for the train.

Xiao Song...

Song Weiyang waved his hands and smiled, Don't send them away, everyone. When the film is developed, I'll send back dozens of them, and everyone will have a share.
