The woman opposite the door

After the storm, the days continued.

In life, wind and rain are always temporary, and after the storm, there will be a rainbow as a reward.

As far as Su Meng and Yi Qingxuan are concerned, as long as they trust each other, Zhihuan's deliberate "provocation" will not pose any threat.And the rainbow after the provocation is that each other is getting sweeter.

Yi Qingxuan is grateful for Su Meng's trust, but Su Meng feels that it is necessary to be gentle at the right time, so as to make Zhihuan quit.

Under Su Meng's careful care, Yi Qingxuan's cold almost recovered within a few days.

This is a good thing, but I heard that the cold is most contagious when it is about to get better. Perhaps it is the last dying struggle made by the germs who have a premonition that they are about to die out?

Whether this statement is true or not remains to be verified, and whether you believe it or not depends entirely on the individual, but it has been confirmed in Yi Qingxuan's life.

Seeing that she was recovering soon, Xiao Yiran fell ill again.

The little guy has been listless since he came back from school, and he only cares about being held by his sister as he walks, but he doesn't say a word, and he doesn't have the lively appearance of jumping around and bluffing like before.

At first, Yi Qingxuan only felt that something was wrong when she was tired from studying at school all day and didn't pay much attention to it. After entering the house, the little girl got into the bedroom without saying a word and stuck her head on the bed without moving. .

Walking up to Mao Yao and looking down, his little face was flushed, and a thin layer of sweat was dripping from the tip of his nose, and then he raised his hand to probe his forehead, and found that he was slightly hot——he had a fever!

Yi Qingxuan frowned, and then asked her daughter softly, "Little Routuan, are you feeling unwell?"

The little girl closed her eyes and nodded, not speaking.

Yi Qingxuan couldn't accept that she had suddenly changed from being angry to being so weak, and felt distressed for a moment, so he helped her take off her shoes and coat, made the bed again, and stuffed her into the quilt.

"Lie down obediently, and mother will go out and get some medicine."

The little girl agreed, stretching out her hand to grab Xiuxiu's hand: "Sister, accompany me."

Yi Qing went back to the living room, searched out the home medicine box to find medicines that could be used to reduce the fever of the little guy - taking medicine on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach, she took out the anti-fever stickers she bought earlier, took out a piece in her hand, turned and went back to the bedroom .

Xiuxiu was leaning in front of the bed to talk to Xiao Routuan, she always had very little expression on her face, most of the time she looked cold and cool, but now she was very soft, with the corners of her mouth raised, her white hands were touching Xiao Yiran's flushed face she.

"Little Routuan is good, he will be cured after taking the medicine."

"But... the medicine is very bitter..."

Taking medicine seems to be one of the most difficult hurdles for children. Although many drugmakers have come up with many improvement methods for this, such as coating the pills with more sugar coating as much as possible, or turning the pills directly into granules, ready to drink. Can.

But children seem to be born with a fear of taking medicine, and it seems that they have already understood the principle of "every change remains the same" at a young age. No matter how you change your appearance, isn't medicine still medicine?Even the medicine will be bitter, anyway, I just don't like to take it.

Yi Qingxuan had figured this out early on, so once the little girl had a headache and brain fever, she tried to use some home-made methods—drink more water when she coughs, and cover herself with blankets when she catches a cold.

Xiuxiu is also afraid of taking medicine, but since she was a child without a father or a mother, she knows that no matter how scared some things are, it's okay to face what needs to be faced.Besides, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. Although the medicine is bitter, it will be cured after taking the disease. It is still very necessary.

"The dean said that if you don't take the medicine, you will die... Be good, I will give you toffee after taking the medicine in a while."

When I was in the orphanage, every time a child got sick, the director would deliberately say with a straight face, "If you don't take the medicine, you will die of illness" - there are so many children in the orphanage, the director only has one, and there are only three or four permanent nurses. It is impossible and they do not have the time to patiently and softly persuade a child to take medicine because a child is sick.

Scaring is obviously the most time-saving and effective. Of course, every time after the children take the medicine obediently, they will show their kind smiles again, and then pull out some small things from behind as if by magic—a piece of rock candy, two red dates, or It is three or four fried shelled peanuts.

Yi Qingxuan just walked in the door with the anti-fever sticker, and was slightly taken aback when he heard this: Dean?

This title is so familiar, Yi Qingxuan, who grew up in an orphanage, has called it so many times since he realized it until now.

Of course, the title of dean may represent many identities - the dean of the orphanage, the dean of the hospital, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Sciences... But it seems that only the dean of the orphanage can be contacted by such a small child.

But... Isn't Xiuxiu bought and raised by Sister Wang?How could it be related to the orphanage?

Yi Qing frowned indistinctly, then quickly stretched out, walked up to the two children as if nothing had happened, and said to the two children: "Sister is right, it's okay not to take medicine when you're sick, but now you haven't eaten dinner, mom will help you first." Do you have a fever-reducing patch?"

I don't know if Xiuxiu's persuasion worked, or if the anti-fever stickers are not "lethal", the little girl behaved very well-behaved, she nodded, stared at Yi Qingxuan with big eyes and let her manipulate her.

During the cooking, Yi Qingxuan was a little absent-minded. She tried hard to recall the situation from the first time she met Xiuxiu to the present, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

First, at the first sight, Xiuxiu and Sister Wang were not in an intimate manner; after the DNA results confirmed that Xiuxiu was Su Meng’s daughter, the little girl could not hide the joy on her face; after that, she talked to Su Meng. In the past, Xiuxiu's accent was different from that of Sister Wang... plus the "Principal" tonight... Yi Qingxuan's heart was agitated: Could it be that Xiuxiu was not bought by Sister Wang at all, but she was from the beginning to the end? Growing up in an orphanage?

If this is the truth, and it is so good, why does Sister Wang have to lie and say that Xiuxiu was bought and raised by herself?Is it just to earn a not-so-low "repayment fee"?

But, with so many children in the orphanage, how did she manage to find Xiuxiu and be sure that she was Su Meng's daughter?This is even more strange, and Yi Qingxuan couldn't understand it after much deliberation.

Su Meng has been very busy these days, working overtime almost every day until late.

After Yi Qingxuan cooked the meal, he hand-fed the little meat balls, drank the porridge, and took the antipyretic medicine. After tucking in the quilt and watching her fall asleep, he tiptoed out and went back to the dining table to eat with Xiuxiu.

Although she couldn't figure out the cause and effect of the incident, she could collect some clues and confirm some things first.

Yi Qingxuan was absent-minded during the meal, and frequently raised his eyes to look at Xiuxiu who was sitting opposite.The little girl was the same as usual, adhering to the principle of "do not talk when eating, not talking when sleeping", holding the rice bowl in her little hand, eating a mouthful of food with each mouthful, eating quietly and happily.

After eating a bowl of rice, the whole bowl is clean, not even a single grain of rice is left.

Xiuxiu has a good habit. She has been praised by herself and Su Meng all the time, saying that she is thrifty and a good child who does not waste food.At the beginning, Yi Qingxuan thought it was because Sister Wang's family was too poor and often did not have enough to eat, so the child developed the habit of never wasting food.But thinking about it now, if Xiuxiu hadn't had enough to eat all year round, Xiuxiu would never be as quiet and calm when eating, not to mention wolfing down, at least, it would be normal to show a little excitement.

Her calmness is too abnormal. Although it has something to do with her personality, most of it is also inseparable from the influence of the environment she grew up in.

Yi Qingxuan also grew up in an orphanage. She clearly knows that although the life of the children in the orphanage is not very good, there are government subsidies, donations from many kind-hearted or caring people in the society, and enthusiastic social workers who often come to visit. Life is actually pretty good, at least food and clothing have never been a problem.

There are too many children in the orphanage and it is difficult to teach them.But it is impossible not to teach, so most of them adopt a tough teaching method similar to militarization.

For example, when eating, how much to eat, how much to serve, there should be no leftovers in the bowl, and no grains of rice on the table.

For example, for toys, the big ones must be humbled by the small ones, and the small ones must be humbled by the smaller ones. Competition is not allowed, and looting is not allowed.

For example, if you are sick, you will be rewarded with a little sweetness if you take medicine obediently. If you are disobedient, you will be reprimanded with raised eyebrows.

For example, in education, older children who have already gone to school can teach young children who have not yet entered school to read and write in their spare time. Get in touch with knowledge as early as possible, and after gaining interest, even many children will mature earlier.

Reading and literacy?That's right, after coming out of a poor mountain village, Xiuxiu, who almost never went to school for a day, can read fairy tales to Xiao Routuan, isn't it strange?

When the matter developed to this point, Yi Qingxuan suddenly became enlightened as if someone had opened up Ren and Du's two veins—Xiuxiu's origin is tricky, which is obviously an indisputable fact.

With a soft sound of "Dang", Yi Qingxuan's sanity was successfully recalled. When she looked up again, Xiuxiu had neatly arranged the bowls and chopsticks on the table, and she seemed to be full.

Seeing this, Yi Qingxuan straightened her body and cleared her throat, before asking, "Are you full?"

"Ah."

The little girl nodded obediently, and then she was about to get up: "I'll go to the room to see my sister."

"Wait a minute."

Yi Qingxuan raised his hand, waved it lightly in the air, and paused: "Sit down first, I have something to ask you."

Having been together for several months, Xiuxiu was already quite familiar and kind to Yi Qingxuan just like she was to Su Meng, so she sat back obediently and did not speak.

Since going to school, they have always asked themselves some questions from time to time: How is the new school, are you still used to it?Are the classmates getting along well? Did they bully you?If you can understand what the teacher said, ask if you don’t understand, don’t be afraid.

Xiuxiu was used to it long ago, so she behaved very calmly.

Unexpectedly, the question this time was a little different. As soon as Yi Qingxuan finished asking, Xiuxiu was stunned.

She asked: "Xiuxiu, tell auntie the truth, did you... live in an orphanage?"

Xiuxiu was stunned, her little head was blank for the first moment, and then nervous and scared.

Does Auntie Yi know anything?what to do?what to do?The so-called "adoptive mother" who sent me here once told her mother that she must not tell her that she came from an orphanage, otherwise, her mother would abandon her.

Xiuxiu doesn't want to be abandoned, she has tasted maternal love, tasted warmth, and even tasted the wonderful taste of having brothers and sisters, how could she just let go?

However, the little girl will not lie.It's one thing to accept the order and not to say it, but let her deny the fact that she didn't come out of the orphanage... A pure-hearted little girl really can't say it.

If you can't say anything, you can only choose to be silent, but the silence is not the calm and stubborn silence before, but with tension, fear, panic about being discarded, shoulders shaking slightly, small head drooping silently, in Yi The corners of Qing Xuan's eyes turned red quietly where he couldn't see.

The author has something to say: I took a look at the outline today, and it seems that there are only a few chapters to be finished. If so, let's take it as a priority and finish it in one breath in the past two days! O(∩_∩)O~
