The Sabbath

Before the children's future placement is determined, all the children are temporarily arranged in the safest camp, with sufficient nutrition, and special personnel check their bodies and measure their physical data. When the rescuers asked if they When there were other needs, the other children didn't know how to answer, only Berg stood up and said he wanted books.

"...I want a lot of books. It would be best if someone came to teach us how to read. We have stayed inside for too long. If we live outside in the future, we need to learn outside knowledge."

Obviously short, with a big head and a small body, and a typical stunted body shape, Berg's eyes are extremely firm. Facing unfamiliar adults from outside, he is not timid at all, and calmly expresses his request. He kept looking at the adult who was talking to him, until the other person showed appreciation and pity on his face, 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 or the smartest, 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, Mingming is not the oldest, but when encountering problems, almost all children will ask him for help.

Facing the various toys given to them by the rescuers, many children were dazzled by playing with them. Berg only played for one hour a day. The rest of the time he would sit by the side 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, in every sense it is a one-step ascension to heaven!

However, Berg politely declined.

"They just see me as sensible and feel sorry for me. This adoption decision was made on impulse. The book says that any guarantee made out of impulse is unreliable." In just a few days, Berg began "Quoting the scriptures" ~

"Berg should be reading more books than you now." Xiaomei said to Ronggui after glancing at the thick stack of books beside Berg's bed.

Ronggui: =-=

What is this feeling of being a little crazy but suddenly relieved?

It's easy to understand when I'm crazy, but I'm relieved...

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 following time, Ronggui was really immersed in the atmosphere of nostalgia.

Berg started to ask questions. He had accumulated a lot of questions. As soon as Xiaomei came over, he asked Xiaomei all of them.Ronggui could understand the question at the beginning, but later...

That...he...should he also take some notes?

With a stiff smile on his face, Ronggui sat at the side tremblingly.

He then simply sneaked out to play with other children.

Not to mention, the toys in Sky City are high-end!He is so old and playing with a sense of novelty. In the end, if the visiting time was not about to end, Xiaomei forced him back, he would probably still be playing in the amusement park outside~

By the way, the open space of the children's camp is now cleared and leveled, with a safe runway paved and a variety of amusement equipment 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, and we pretended not to understand them and ignored them. Brother Xiaomei, should we answer this? How should we answer it?"

After all, he is a child. Although Berg has already learned the knowledge of "playing stupid" without a teacher, he knows in his heart that this knowledge will not last long.

"It means that you planted some plants in the pipeline for more food and beautification." Xiaomei said, he paused: "As for why these plants grow so big..."

"Let's say they bought the fertilizer from me."

"Don't say anything else."

Others, other people will naturally help to add, and what they add will be more like facts than facts——Xiaomei thought to herself.

"Ah...that's great, you don't need to lie~" Berg breathed 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, patted his head lightly, and said, "Don't lie."

Lying is someone else's business.

They just planted something, and he just provided the fertilizer, at most he went a little farther to fertilize... that's all.

Berg, who let go of his psychological burden, waved vigorously at Ronggui and Xiaomei, and sent them away with the other children. After that, Berg put down the book in his hand and went to play with other children~

He decided to play an extra hour today!

Then only Uncle Wang's family was left.

Those who don’t care about living in multi-person barracks are Uncle Wang’s family~

A large family of more than 20 people lived together in a crowded place and didn’t care. It didn’t matter that there were not enough clotheslines outside. They just pulled a new rope inside the house. Hurry up, work, talk, sleep, they won't interfere with each other at all!

This...is really an innate skill that only people born in places with extremely high population density can possess~

What's more, in just a few days, the old Wang's family actually dug out a small vegetable field outside the camp, and never forgot to plant the land!This, this, this...

It's really a racial talent!

Realizing this again, Ronggui smiled for no reason.

Even though they all look like foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, Uncle Wang's family really gave 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 alright~ everything's alright~" Uncle Wang warmly entertained them. As soon as they entered the door, all the busy Wang family members came over, those who brought tea, those who poured water, uh... now Xiaomei can drink tea, but Ronggui can't, so he can only take the towel handed over by the Wang family and wipe his paws.

"...Alan brought me to ask you for help. Although I am unconscious, old man, I still remember something."

"You really saved my life!" The old man thanked him sincerely.

When the old man thanked, the juniors next to him burst into tears, and they were about to bow down, Rong Gui quickly stopped them.

"Uncle Agui told you not to pray, so please don't. The people in our hometown are enthusiastic and helpful. Uncle Agui is like this, and you will do the same in the future." The old man waved to the younger generation: "You 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?

Ronggui adjusted the pillow on the back for the old man, moved closer, and affectionately took the old man's hand and sat on the big bed.

"Well, although I just told them not to be too polite, I really appreciate you in my heart." 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 Alan..."

"Don't look at them now, they are busy with their own small family every day, but they are actually capable and capable children, especially Alan. Alan's personality is gentler now, but in essence... he is still very Radical."

"Maybe I take myself too seriously, but I'm really worried, what will Allen do if something happens to me, and what will happen to the children outside..."

The old man looked at Ronggui quietly, and his eyes fell on Xiaomei's face, Xiaomei seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but the old man didn't seem to notice, just continued to look at Xiaomei until Xiaomei and him were at the same level.

The old man gave a friendly smile, then his smile faded away, and he looked straight outside the door until he saw the ice and snow outside: "There is one thing I didn't tell you the truth at the time."

"I picked up Alan in the snow outside."

"When Alan was picked up, our family had just moved from outside to the current place."

"At that time, I didn't quite know what the prison here was. It was hard to find a livelihood for the family. I just wanted to see if there was any opportunity to do business."

"Then he drove over by himself."

"Then, I found Allen in the snow."

"Alan was just about the same age as Marlene at that time."

"By the way, Marlene is the child you rescued on the way here just now. Probably because of similar circumstances, that child Alan finally picked up Marlene back."

"The child Marlene integrated into our family very quickly, but Ellen was different at that time."

"I don't know what he went through inside, he closed 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 I picked everyone up~ Everyone is not too obsessed with the order, everyone's order is moved down one by one, and Alan has become the highest-ranked person in this big family besides me."

"Some people are probably born to be responsible, they are born to take responsibility."

"That's what Allen is."

"Being the head of the family, people have to ask him about everything, and wait for him to make a decision... Just like that, Allen actually walked 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 son."

Hearing what he said up to now, Ronggui's surprise was fully expressed on his face, and his expression became a particularly perfect word "囧"!

Seeing him like this, the old man smiled at him slyly: "How about it, it's a good idea, isn't it?"

"It's very good, but... but... I always thought that Grandpa Alan..." was an old man, and... "I call him Grandpa!" Rong Gui struggled.

Uncle Wang was happy: "Very good, very good, that kid Alan likes to be called grandpa the most."

"Just keep calling him~"

Fortunately, Ronggui is not a person who is particularly entangled. He was only troubled by this issue for a while, and finally felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he immediately let go of this question and asked about Alan's whereabouts. :

"He has been delayed there for a while, he needs to check~ But we received a message from him yesterday, it seems that the investigation is finally over, they brought him back by the way, it stands to reason that he should arrive within two days... "Uncle Wang was talking, when suddenly there was a burst of cheers from outside, and then all the Wang family members who were working outside came in, and everyone came in surrounded by one person, Ronggui turned his head and looked——

"Grandpa Allen!" He called out without hesitation.

"Hmm." Alan's smile answered him.

Walking over with strides, 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 is going well" - Allen said silently to them.

Ronggui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Allen then looked to the future for them:

"Marlene needs to cooperate with the proof. 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 to. I negotiated with them on the road and they doubled the original compensation."

There was a burst of cheers in the room.

Although they have experienced a lot of suffering, they are more used to looking forward.

Ronggui was also really happy for them, but besides being happy, he thought of the children: "I don't know if those children can get compensation, they are still underage, oops... I don't know what will happen to them in the future... ..."

The children are still unaccounted for, which is a hidden worry in Ronggui's heart.

As if he understood Ronggui's heart, Allen waited until everyone finished laughing, and then 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 removed, 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. Come and study for a while, and remind them of the crimes Pezer committed."

"There are too many children here. Due to their special background, it is not very suitable to be placed anywhere. It is more likely to establish a separate nursing home for them, and choose a nearby location."

"so--"

Alan looked at Ronggui and Xiaomei: "On the way, I asked them about the qualifications they need to raise, and I also asked them about the conditions for becoming guardians of those children."

"I have basically convinced them that if those children are willing, our family can set up a foster home on the planet where we live now to raise these children, which can be regarded as adopting all the children in disguise."

Ronggui stared at him blankly.

Allen smiled: "Anyway, our family has already raised so many children. If we have more children, the family will be more lively!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Alan!" With a loud cry, Ronggui rushed over.

Tucking himself into Alan's arms, Ronggui turned his head to look at Xiaomei, meaning to ask Xiaomei to come over too.

Xiaomei hesitated, hesitated... Allen just smiled, then reached out his hand and hugged Xiaomei together.

Xiaomei quietly enjoyed this hug.

In his memory, the image of the blond man staring coldly at him... slowly disappeared in this embrace.

That night, the camp asked the children if they would like to be raised in the foster care that Allen had set up.

All the children nodded.

So, this matter was settled.

The next day, those who did not need to serve their sentences were transferred out one after another.

Ronggui also decided to follow Allen back to Chinatown first.
