After breakfast, Ling Yuan took Ah Cheng back to the First Hospital for a physical examination.

Fortunately, nothing major was wrong with the body, just multiple soft tissue losses, anemia and malnutrition.

But it's not a big problem, it's just that there is no permanent irreversible damage to the body.In fact, Ah Cheng had so many injuries that he didn't have a piece of good skin on his body, and he was already 10 years old, not as tall as a 7-year-old child in ordinary families.

Ling Yuan was looking at the list carefully, and Ah Cheng sat aside, quietly raised his little hand, trying to touch the pinhole where the blood was drawn just now, it hurt a little.

Ling Yuan didn't even raise his eyes, and his left hand accurately pinched the little guy's sneaky little hand.Ah Cheng stuck out his tongue quietly, and sat down obediently.

Ling Yuan put down the list helplessly and asked Ah Cheng, "Does it hurt?"

Ah Cheng hesitated for a long time, frowned slightly, and finally shook his head uncertainly.

For a long time, Ah Gui did not allow him to cry, no matter how badly he was beaten, as long as he shed a little tear, cried out for pain, or begged for mercy, Ah Gui would curse and beat him harder.

So Ah Cheng has long developed a habit, no matter what time it is, try not to cry or cry, because adults don't like to see him cry, that's what he thinks.

Ling Yuan discovered just now that when the nurse took out the needle before drawing blood, Ah Cheng's whole body was tense, but he didn't hear any pain when the injection was given.

The other children either acted like a baby with teary eyes, or cried out in pain, but Ah Cheng didn't say a word, even holding back his tears desperately.

The little nurse laughed and teased him: "The kid is awesome, what a little man."

Perhaps it was the first time in his life that he was praised by others, and Ah Cheng's eyes lit up.

But Ling Yuan was not happy. He wanted to let Ah Cheng know that he had the right to express his emotions and that he was an independent person.

Ling Yuan patted Ah Cheng lightly, and said softly: "It's okay, just tell uncle if it hurts, and you don't have to hold it back."

After hearing this, Ah Cheng quietly looked at him for a while, confirmed that Ling Yuan was serious, then nodded embarrassingly, and then quickly glanced at Ling Yuan quietly, seeing that he did not show any impatience or disgust , just feel relieved.

After finishing the physical examination, Ling Yuan asked colleagues who had children at home, and took Ah Cheng to the store recommended by them to buy clothes, checked the size and bought a few sets of clothes.

The little girl who sold clothes blinked, looked at Ah Cheng who was thin and bruised all over, and said nothing.

Seeing the little guy standing awkwardly in the store, she squatted down, looked at him with a smile, gently squeezed his little face, took out a lollipop from her pocket, and handed it to him.

Shy and timid, Ah Cheng took Ling Yuan's hand and hid behind him, glanced at the lollipop, then looked up at Ling Yuan, blinking his big eyes and asking.

Ling Yuan smiled and led him forward, and said, "Take it, thank you sister."

After hearing this, Ah Cheng stretched out his little hand shyly to take the lollipop, and said in a very serious voice, "Thank you, sister."

Ling Yuan helped him tear off the candy wrapper. Ah Cheng first carefully looked at the lollipop, then carefully stuck out his tongue and licked the strawberry-flavored candy ball.

Sweet!

Ah Cheng raised his head excitedly to look at Ling Yuan, then at the teller sister, her big eyes were shining brightly, the corners of her mouth curled up, she was so cute, like a little golden retriever playing with a flying saucer, Ling Yuan and the girl were amused Both happy and distressed.

This lollipop has been licked slowly all the way to Ling Yuan's house, and Ah Cheng is reluctant to bulge it in his mouth, otherwise it will be gone in a while. He is a little distressed that Ling Yuan just threw away the candy wrapper, otherwise it can still be used Wrap it in sugar paper and eat it next time.

Seeing Ah Cheng's troubles, Ling Yuan took out a small plate and told Ah Cheng: "You can put the candy in here before you finish eating, and eat it after you take a shower, okay?"

Ah Cheng nodded, obediently put the lollipop in his hand on the plate, and looked at it reluctantly.

It's best not to touch the needle eye on Ah Cheng's arm. After putting away the bath water, Ling Yuan thought about it, and brought Ah Cheng over, and carefully told him to be careful not to touch the needle eye.

I also told him which one was shampoo and which one was body wash. After washing, the big towel was also ready. The clothes were placed too high on the shelf so that he could not reach them, so I put them on the chair.

"Call uncle if you have any difficulties?" Ling Yuan squatted down and said to Ah Cheng in a gentle voice.

Ah Cheng looked at the things carefully again, and nodded.Ling Yuan patted his head and walked out of the bathroom.

Just after leaving the bathroom, Ling Yuan received a call: "Hello?"

"Hello? Hello, this is Mr. Ling, we are the police station in District B..."

The warm air was turned on in the bathroom in advance, it wasn't cold at all, Ah Cheng carefully took a comfortable bath.Although there are many injuries on his body, it still hurts if he touches it accidentally, but he has never been able to take a hot bath in peace.

Ah Cheng sat in the bathtub and played with two rubber ducks along the water waves. The little ducks floated slowly on the water surface. Ah Cheng secretly smiled: Uncle is such an adult, he still wants to play with toys.

Later, Ling Yuan was afraid that Ah Cheng would catch cold when the water was cold, so he knocked on the door and asked Ah Cheng to get up and get dressed.

Wiped off the water on his body, put on new clothes and ran out, Ah Cheng's little face was flushed from washing, his hair was not dried, and was a mess.

Ling Yuan stretched out his hand, stroked the little golden retriever, covered his head with a large towel, and gently rubbed the moisture dry.

Ah Cheng raised his head, following Ling Yuan's movements, he couldn't sit still, his big eyes were closed and he turned around, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ling Yuan brushed Ah Cheng's hair silently, recalling what the police had just explained to him.

Although Ah Cheng was not registered, but according to the identity of the deceased, she found out the address of her household registration. It turned out that there was no relative in the family, and Ah Cheng was destined to go to an orphanage.

And the woman who abused the child died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Judging from the scene, she should have suffered a sudden attack when she was about to beat the child, and she deserved it.

But what Ling Yuan didn't expect the most was that Ah Cheng was not her own.

I heard from the neighbor's mother-in-law that she was tricked into giving birth to a child when she was young?What about that child?Why was Ah Cheng himself brought from the orphanage?

Although Ling Yuan had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask Ah Cheng.

Firstly, he probably didn't know the whole story of the matter himself, and secondly, he didn't want the child to recall the past.

Sighing silently, Ling Yuan heard from the police station that he had already contacted the orphanage, and one orphanage had already indicated that it could still accept Ah Cheng, and they could come to pick up the child this afternoon at the earliest.

Ah Cheng, whose hair was still being rubbed by Ling Yuan, sat on the chair, let go of all his defenses, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his legs swaying slightly, looking very relaxed.

Ling Yuan was troubled, why did he say this to the child?

It was almost noon, Ling Yuan asked Ah Cheng what would he like to eat?

Ah Cheng lowered his head, thought for a long time, looked up at Ling Yuan, and said in a low voice, "...I want to eat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes."

Ling Yuan smiled and nodded, and replied to him: "Okay, what else? Tell uncle what you want to eat, but your stomach can't eat too greasy food, can we have some light and appetizing food?"

The little guy wrinkled his nose in distress.

What else?What else?It is good to be able to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Although I could only eat a little scrambled eggs with tomatoes mixed with other things each time, the taste is really not flattering, but if you feel the taste carefully, the scrambled eggs with tomatoes must be sour It's sweet and sour, it's delicious.

Ah Cheng hesitated for a while, but still couldn't figure it out.

Ling Yuan thought for a while, and reported the names of a few more dishes. Ah Cheng had never heard of these, so he nodded quickly.

There was no food at home, so Ling Yuan decided to go to the vegetable market.He doesn't have a car, but fortunately there is a supermarket downstairs, and it only takes 10 minutes to go back and forth.

He took Ah Cheng to the living room, turned on the TV, and taught him how to use the remote control.Ah Cheng listened carefully and demonstrated it to Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan nodded, patted his head, praised him for being smart, just read it once.

The little guy held his head up and was patted on the head happily, and he almost grew a big tail and flicked it around.

Ling Yuan went out, Ah Cheng held the remote control and didn't know what to look at.

Ah Gui used to watch TV, but at this time he was usually cleaning, or he was punished to stand facing the wall for no reason.

But the place they lived in before was just a ten-square-meter one-bedroom apartment, and Ah Cheng could always see and hear something.However, there are usually short TV series on TV, and Ah Cheng has no interest.

Um?what is this?

Cheerful music and vivid pictures caught Ah Cheng's attention all of a sudden, and the little guy sat up straight and watched the commercial being played seriously.

"With KFC, life is good~"

KFC?Ah Cheng carefully recalled these three words: Ah, I have heard this name before, it seems delicious, but it must be very expensive, it would be great if I could eat KFC once in the future...

When Ling Yuan came home with the vegetables, Ah Cheng was concentrating on watching the advertisement happily. Ling Yuan couldn't help laughing at his serious appearance.

Ah Cheng heard the noise and saw Ling Yuan came back, so he hurried to the door to see him.Hearing his noise, Ling Yuan called out to him, "Ah Cheng, where are your shoes? It's cold on the floor, and you'll catch a cold if you don't wear slippers."

Ah Cheng looked down at his little feet in socks, nodded shyly, and ran back to put on slippers.

Ling Yuan walked into the kitchen, saw Ah Cheng follow in, and looked up at him eagerly.

"It's okay. Uncle can handle it by himself. Can you watch TV for a while? I'll call you when the meal is ready." Ling Yuan said while taking out the tomatoes he just bought.

After hearing what he said, Ah Cheng still stood there, raised his head, looked at him with bright eyes, and said, "I, yes, can help you."

Ling Yuan smiled and patted his head, and said: "Uncle knows that Ah Cheng is very capable, but Ah Cheng's task now is to sit obediently on the sofa and watch TV for a while, and uncle will cook in a while." After finishing speaking, Ling Yuan paused, and then added: "However, the lollipop just now can't be eaten now, the sweet ones will spoil the taste, and I won't be able to eat for a while."

After hearing what he said, Ah Cheng walked obediently back to the living room and sat down. Ling Yuan peeped out to see that he had sat down, and then secretly took out his mobile phone to search for recipes.

Although he can cook some home-cooked dishes, he is still very unskilled. If he doesn't follow the recipes, he is afraid that the children will be unhealthy if they eat them.

Fortunately, Dr. Ling is worthy of being a genius who went to college at the age of 14, and cooking is just a trivial matter.A few small dishes were ready in a while, and when the dishes were served, he summoned Ah Cheng to wash his hands and eat.

First, each person served a bowl of soup, and after Ah Cheng drank it warmly, Ling Yuan thought about whether it was time to eat.

Wait... rice? !

It's over!Forget about cooking!

Ah Cheng tilted his head, held the bowl, and looked at his petrified uncle suspiciously: What happened?

Ling Yuan came back to his senses, laughed dryly, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Ah Cheng: "Ah Cheng, wait for me for a while, uncle will go downstairs, and he will be back soon."

Ah Cheng nodded suspiciously, Ling Yuan quickly ran downstairs, bought two steamed buns, and quickly opened the door to come back.

Ah Cheng looked at the steamed bun in Ling Yuan's hand, and was stunned for a while, then suddenly, he realized something again, and laughed out loud with a "poof--".

After lunch, Ah Cheng obediently listened to Ling Yuan's words and wandered around the living room to digest food.

Ling Yuan was in the kitchen tinkering with the fruit after dinner, and when he finished cutting the fruit, he told Ah Cheng that he could stop wandering around and come over to eat the fruit.

Ah Cheng sat on the sofa and poked a piece of apple with a toothpick and ate it in small bites, while Ling Yuan sat aside, organizing his words.

Regarding the orphanage, he had to tell Ah Cheng first, so that he would not be sent back to the police station in the afternoon, and then taken away directly. He was not mentally prepared at all, and the child wondered if he could bear it.

"Ah Cheng, there is something that uncle wants to discuss with you."
