In time

When Jimoli calmed down, Lin Nan drove back home. Jimoli didn't speak all the way, and Lin Nan didn't take the initiative to open his mouth. He knew that this situation had to be figured out by Jimoli himself. A long time ago, he I vaguely feel that Ji Moli likes to attribute bad things to himself. When we meet again after many years, this kind of personality still hasn't changed much, and it even seems to be getting worse.

But many things in the world have their own specific reasons. For example, Jim's adoptive father and mother decided to go to country F. It was not Jim, and the cause of the plane crash had nothing to do with Jim, but he would always He felt that if it wasn't for him, they wouldn't have gone to France, his parents wouldn't have caught the plane to country M, and his brother wouldn't have lost his parents, leaving him with a lifetime of regrets.

Lin Nan didn't know why Ji Moli had such an idea, and now he could only think that it might be related to Jimoli's life experience as an orphan.

The me of that year really shouldn't be impulsive.

Perhaps, at the very beginning, he just wanted to stay by this person's side and accompany him, but when his emotions gradually changed and his desire for exclusiveness gradually became stronger, many things began to change.

Glancing sideways at the person sitting next to him, Lin Nan wanted to say something, but in the end he held back, but decided in his heart that he should go to the orphanage earlier, and perhaps, returning to his hometown, he would be able to solve the problem. Knot.

Back home, Jimo Li glanced at Lin Nan, forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Lin Nan, I might feel a little—"

"I understand." Looking at Ji Moli, whose eyes were still a little red and his expression became haggard, Lin Nan felt distressed, but he didn't know what to do.

Lin Nan said his proposal, and Ji Moli nodded without hesitation. He also wanted to go back and have a look, and ask the old dean why the adoption went wrong back then.

Picking a Saturday, Lin Nan drove Jimo Li back to the orphanage back then. There were a lot of things in the car, all of which were toys donated by the company employees after Lin Nan issued a mission in the company to support the children in the orphanage. supplies.

The orphanage has moved to a new place, and Ji Moli knew about it a long time ago. When the two arrived, they found that the conditions of the orphanage are very good, and the infrastructure construction is also in place, but the toys and books in the car are still bought. The children cheered.

The orphanage had already had a new director, and the old director had already retired, and because he had no children, he went to the old site of the orphanage to watch.

Because the Fuai Welfare Institute was very famous back then, and it was established by the church back then. It was kept as a cultural relic and opened to tourists on a regular basis. research students.

There is a sycamore tree at the door, which is quite old for some years, but as the temperature gets colder, the leaves on it are scattered, but the sun is just right, and large swaths of it are sprinkled from the branches of the sycamore tree, sitting under the sycamore tree and drinking tea comfortably The old man, plainly added a layer of poetic flavor.

It was already afternoon when Ji Moli and Lin Nan arrived, and the sun was setting earlier and earlier. By the time Ji Moli and Lin Nan arrived, there was already some aftertaste of the setting sun. The old man who was sitting drinking tea was about to pat Buttocks, picked up the teacup and went back to his small courtyard, but was stopped by Jimoli. Although many years had passed, Jimoli still recognized the figure of the old dean at a glance.

The old dean stopped, turned around, looked at Ji Moli through reading glasses, and smiled after a while: "Isn't this Tuantuan!"

Ji Moli was a little surprised that after so many years, the two Yuanyuan brothers and sisters and the old dean could tell who he was at a glance.

The old dean chuckled and said, "It hasn't changed much over the years, it's still the outline of my childhood."

Ji Moli was a little embarrassed, and Lin Nan immediately had an idea. If he could find the photo of little Ali here, it would really be worth the trip.

After bringing the two of them into the house, the old dean found tea and brewed it slowly. Although the living room in the small courtyard was old, it was tidy and clean. There were large glass frames hanging on the corners, and there were many glass frames. The photos, but the colors are very old, there are many black and white, and there are many color ones.

At first glance, the old dean saw that Ji Moli was quite excited. The two were talking at the same time, mostly talking about the situation for so many years. Lin Nan looked at the photos on the wall one by one.Most of them are photos of children back then, and there are very few duplicates. Most of them still have only one photo, and a few have two or three photos.

When Lin Nan saw the third one, Lin Nan's eyes froze. There was a little boy in the upper left corner of the glass frame. He is wearing black shorts, with his hands behind his back, facing the camera, with a shy smile on his face, and a little panic and anxiety in his eyes, which makes people want to hug him and love him.

Is this the little Ah Li from back then?

Lin Nan felt that his heart was melted by the little boy in the photo. Next to this photo was a group photo of several children. There happened to be Ji Moli when he was a child. There were not only boys, but also girls. The most important thing was , Lin Nan found that there were two Yuanyuan brothers and sisters inside.

Lin Nan looked at it carefully, thinking how he could get Ji Moli's photo, when he happened to hear Ji Moli asking the old dean about the past.

Although it has been a long time, obviously the old dean can still remember it very clearly. It is a little strange why Jimoli asked this, but he answered it in a straightforward manner.

At that time, Ji's parents really wanted to adopt two brothers and sisters, Yuanyuan, not only cute, but also well-behaved, but after thinking about it, their own is a son, and if they adopt two brothers and sisters, they are afraid of their own The son was wronged, and the two of them decided to adopt only one, and when they were walking back, they saw Ji Moli.

According to what the old dean said, one person has one's fate. If there is a fate, they will be together. If there is no fate, they can't be forced. Ji Moli and Ji's parents are destined.

"We told Ji's parents at the time that if you want to change the child, it will not only hurt the child very much, but also the procedures are very troublesome, and it is generally not allowed. But back then, Ji's parents said, you look like you saved their lives back then. My children, when they were desperate and almost starved to death on the street, a young man gave them all the money and food he had on his body to save them from danger, and gradually things went smoothly. It is said that you look exactly like that young man back then. "

The old dean talked slowly, and the appearance of Ji's parents and Ji Moli back then gradually became clear in his increasingly chaotic mind.

"The parents of Ji's family may think that you are the child of that boy. They not only like you, but also want to repay their kindness."

Ji Moli thought of his parents back then. Unlike Ji Mengyan, his parents had high hopes for his elder brother, but for himself, they hoped that he would grow up healthily, safely and happily. Those emotions surged up in his head, making Ji Moli squat down in pain.

"Why do you remember to ask this? Did something happen later?"

Seeing Jimoli's expression, the old dean felt that something was wrong. Lin Nan had already stepped forward to help Jimoli up, and brought him some tea for him to drink. Only then did Jimoli recover.

"My parents have passed away for many years."

The old dean was very sad when he heard it.

Jimoli took the opportunity to ask about Yuanyuan, and the matter was very simple. It happened that there was a couple who had no children for many years and wanted to adopt a boy and a girl. The reason why it is so easy to handle.

The old dean asked about Yuanyuan's situation again, and Jimoli briefly explained Yuanyuan's situation. The old dean looked at Jimoli, then looked at the photo in the glass frame, and found out easily. I took a group photo of the siblings back then.

Although small, it has already revealed the beautiful posture after growth.

"Everything in the world has a destiny. After so many years, I have experienced countless children growing up alone in the yard and being adopted. Everyone has their own stories. Some are happy and some are sad, but no matter the sadness or joy It belongs to their life, this is the ending that God has already decided."

Ji Moli didn't speak, the old dean asked Lin Nan to stand on a stool to take off one of the glass-framed photos, pointed to one of the children and said, "This child is called Ah Feng, I don't know if you still have any impression of it."

The boy in the photo looks to be about ten years old, wearing ripped jeans, with curly hair on his head, his eyes squinting at the camera, with a rebellious expression on his face, Jimo Li smiled and said: "I Remember, the child's head at that time."

"Yes, when you were there, he was the oldest child in the yard, and no one came to adopt him. He dropped out of school when he was in the second year of junior high school, and ran away without saying hello. He was a thug, and he was imprisoned for five years for committing crimes. After he got out, he didn’t go anywhere. He came to me, cried a lot, and slept for three days. Now he is moving bricks in a construction company, which is also very good. , It’s hard to find a girlfriend.”

"And this, Ah Bao, I don't know if you remember it or not."

"The kid who can't move his arm?"

The child in the photo is wearing some shabby clothes, lying on the table, with bright eyes and dark eyes, and a big smile on the corner of his mouth, looking sunny and bright.

"Yeah, actually it's not just his arms that can't move. Many parts gradually shrank later. The muscle atrophy he suffered from was already symptomatic when he was sent here. Presumably it was because his parents were afraid of dragging himself down."

"What about him now?"

"He died a long time ago. Before he died, he was still holding a pen in his hand. He smiled and said that he must be born healthy in his next life, so that he can read and write freely."

The old dean pointed to the past one by one, and told Jimoli the story of the child's growth in the past, whether it was bitter or miserable, or through hard work and finally became famous.

Many of them still kept in touch with the old dean. After knowing this fact, Jimoli was a little ashamed. Looking at Jimoli's expression, the old dean smiled slightly: "Tuantuan, you don't want to know how you appeared in our Is it in the yard?"
