"It's not like you don't know about my family's situation," a sighing voice came from outside, "It's better to let him go with that family than to let him suffer with us. I've seen the people from that family from afar, yes People from the city seem to be well-mannered, just like Ningning's father. It is said that they are just their assistants..."

Yuan Ning opened his eyes, his dark eyes blinking.The person who spoke was his second aunt, his parents had an accident the year before last, his cousin Yuan Bo hugged him and would not let go, so the second aunt had to take him home.

He is only six years old, knows nothing, is about to study, is the same age as Yuan Bo, and cannot pick up Yuan Bo's old clothes.Yuan Bo also has a younger brother who is waiting to be fed, and the clothes he wears will be left to this younger brother in the future.

Nothing is right without him.

Yuan Ning pulled up the quilt, covered his head, covered his ears, and didn't want to listen to the conversation outside.He didn't like to talk since he was a child, everyone thought he was dumb, only cousin Yuan Bo had the patience to coax him to speak.He wanted to stay with Yuan Bo's cousin, but he understood what Second Aunt said, and he was about to be sent away by Second Aunt.

Many people in the village will be like this. There are too many children and they can't afford them, so they give them away.There is a special "intermediary" in the town, who helps people deliver their children.A few days ago, Second Aunt took him and Yuan Bo to take a photo. He felt it was very fresh and excited for a long time. Now that I think about it, Second Aunt should let people show his photo to others.Just like the second uncle picking piglets, if he picks the piglets, he will take them away, if he doesn't pick them, he will wait for the next person to pick them.

Yuan Ning's lips trembled, and the circles of his eyes were a little hot. He quickly closed them and took a deep breath.You can't cry, it will be annoying if you cry, you have to be obedient so that you won't be annoying.After a lot of effort, Yuan Ning finally held back his crying and suppressed the fear in his heart.

The second aunt really couldn't afford to support herself, so it was right to find someone who could support her and send her there.Yuan Bo is so good, how can he let Yuan Bo give half of everything to himself, he can't be so selfish.

The more Yuan Ning thought about it, the calmer he became, and he slowly fell asleep.

When the second aunt of the Yuan family came in, she saw that the nephew was completely stuffed under the quilt, with only a little hair twirling exposed.She sighed, stepped forward and carefully pulled down the quilt, and then reached out to smooth her nephew's soft hair.

This child looks pink and jade-carved, not at all like a child in the mountains.But he is a poor man, his father is the third child in the family, the youngest son in the family, the eldest brother and the second brother dropped out of school early, just to support the third child to study.

Unexpectedly, after finishing school, the third child did not go to the big city to enjoy the blessings, but returned to the village to support education, and brought the child's mother back.

People in the village are very grateful to him, but some people laugh at him behind his back.

The year before last, the old couple went to the town to pick up teaching materials, but they encountered a landslide on the way, and both of them were buried.The children in the village cried a lot, but when it was over, that was all.

The third wife and his wife paid all their wages to the village primary school, but left nothing after the accident.The funeral expenses of the couple were collected from the village, and the funeral was very simple. Once the fire was set up, an altar was installed, and they were buried in a random place.The old house in the village belonged to the uncle, and the uncle's wife was the most tricky, and the third couple quarreled that they couldn't support Yuan Ning before they were buried.

The second aunt of the Yuan family has raised Yuan Ning for two years, and her money is getting tighter.

The "intermediary" in the town saw Yuan Ning by chance, and looked for an opportunity to get close to the Yuan family's second aunt. Urgent, secondly, let this child have a chance to eat and drink well and go to school.

The "intermediary" was eloquent and lobbied several times, and finally persuaded the second aunt of the Yuan family.The second uncle of the Yuan family is a gambler, he can't be counted on at all, the whole family is run by her, if she doesn't check well, the second uncle of the Yuan family may secretly sell Yuan Ning.

The second aunt of the Yuan family had seen the person who came to adopt the child from afar, she didn't look at anything else, just by the attitude of the "intermediary" towards that person, she knew that the person was really unusual.If Yuan Ning is selected, life will definitely be easier.The Yuan family's second aunt said: "Ningning, Aunt wants you to live better. Your second uncle is unreliable..."

Yuan Ning turned around, rubbed her little face on the pillow, and frowned, as if she was having a nightmare.

The second uncle of the Yuan family agreed with this matter.In order to prevent Yuan Bo from causing trouble, and prevent the second uncle of the Yuan family from greedily "negotiating prices" with others, the second aunt of the Yuan family asked the second uncle of the Yuan family to take Yuan Bo to Nanguang. It's been a day.Early the next morning, the second aunt of the Yuan family put Yuan Ning on the new clothes she bought for the New Year, and carefully buttoned Yuan Ning's clothes until the last one.

Yuan Ning saw Yuan's second aunt's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and her nose was a little sore.He stretched out his hand to fasten the button, and said obediently, "Auntie, are you going out?"

The second aunt of the Yuan family said slowly: "Eat breakfast first." She took out a bowl of egg custard from the kitchen. Tender, slippery, fragrant and attractive.

Yuan Ning stared at the egg custard for a while, and said, "Auntie eats it too."

The second aunt of the Yuan family nodded: "Okay, my aunt will eat too." She turned her head to get a bowl of rice, and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands without any trace.Yuan Ning is young and doesn't talk much, but he is very well-behaved. He will take the initiative to help with what he can do, and he will watch obediently by the side when he can't do it.Obviously Yuan Ning didn't say anything, but she knew that Yuan Ning understood everything.

Yuan Ning already knew that he would be sent away.

Eating delicious food that is rare at home, but both of them don't know how to taste it.The two finished their breakfast with egg custard one bite at a time, packed up the dishes and went out.As the weather started to get warmer, Yuan Ning followed Yuan's second aunt in small steps, looking around constantly.Maybe once he goes there, he won't be able to come back, he wants to remember this place, and when he grows up and can go out by himself, he will come back to see his second aunt and Yuan Bo.

There is no car in the village to go to the town, and everyone usually walks.Today was a coincidence. Someone was driving a tractor to go to the town. Seeing that they seemed to be going to the town, he yelled: "Mother Xiaobo, do you want to take a car? Get in the car, and I will take you there. There are two pigs in the back. Tell Ningning to avoid it."

The second aunt of the Yuan family hesitated.She wants to walk, walk slowly, she can stay with Yuan Ning for a while.But before she could speak, Yuan Ning had already said, "Thank you Uncle Chai, my aunt has a bad waist and can't walk too much." As he spoke, he pulled Yuan's second aunt into the car.

The tractor started suddenly, stopped and stopped all the way, carrying many acquaintances.When I met the second aunt of the Yuan family, some asked her what she was doing in the town, and some praised Yuan Ning's cuteness, but the second aunt of the Yuan family was always absent-minded.

After getting off the car at the town, the second aunt of the Yuan family led Yuan Ning and was about to leave.

Everyone else felt that it was a bit weird, and they gathered together to discuss a few words.A stall owner next to him heard this and said, "She is rushing to sell the child, so of course she doesn't have the heart to talk to you. I saw her talking to Jia Zhengjing last time!" The "intermediary".

There was an uproar.

The second aunt of the Yuan family and Yuan Ning hadn't gone far, and this word fell into the ears of the second aunt of the Yuan family, which made her feel like being struck by lightning and her heart ached.She suddenly squatted down and hugged Yuan Ning tightly, her voice was choked with sobs: "Ning Ning, let's go back, we'll go back right away."

Yuan Ning lowered her eyelashes when she noticed that the tears of the second aunt of the Yuan family were falling down her neck.If she didn't really think that family was very nice, why would the second aunt send him there at the risk of being chewed out.

He is a burden at home, and it would be good for everyone to go to that family.

Yuan Ning shook his head slightly, hugged Yuan's second aunt with open arms, and turned to look at the person who set up the stall: "You are talking nonsense." Yuan Ning said convincingly, "That's my father's classmate who came here, he Someone has been looking for me for a long time, and wants to take me to study in the city."

Yuan Ning was only six years old, and he was cute. When he said this with a stern face, the person who set up the stall shut up embarrassingly.No one would doubt that such a small doll is lying, not to mention Yuan Ning is so calm and serious.

People who knew the second aunt of the Yuan family thought she was not someone who would sell children. Hearing Yuan Ning's words, they couldn't help but cast a contemptuous glance at the stall owner: "How can Xiao Bo be that kind of person!"

Yuan Ning took Yuan's second aunt's hand.

The second aunt of the Yuan family hadn't recovered yet, and when Yuan Ning led her out for a while, she said in a daze, "Ning Ning, just now..."

Yuan Ning said, "I learned from my aunt."

What Yuan Ning said was unclear, but the second aunt of the Yuan family understood.After Yuan Ning's parents had an accident, her sister-in-law often said such things. It was nothing more than Yuan Ning's parents' former classmates were very good, and they should be asked to help.They all knew that these words were not true, and her sister-in-law just stabbed a few words casually, but Yuan Ning remembered clearly and said such words in a serious manner.

Thinking of Yuan Ning who has always been well-behaved and smart, Second Aunt Yuan's heart ached again.Such a smart child, why is life so hard?Her tears fell again.

Yuan Ning comforted him: "Auntie, don't cry." He held the hand of the second aunt of the Yuan family, and said a lot of words, "Brother Xiaobo and I will be successful in the future. When we grow up, if the second uncle Hit you, we will protect you... and Xiaoguang will too."

The Yuan family's second aunt froze on the spot.

"Xiaoguang" is her youngest son, only three years old, who was sent to his grandfather's house the day before yesterday.

Her husband likes to gamble, and if he loses his temper, he will beat others. The child is still young, and the husband knows to avoid it. If the child grows up, he wonders if he will beat the child too.Her youngest son was so young, and her eldest son was only six years old, with a very wild temper, and never noticed that she had been injured.

Hearing Yuan Ning's soft voice to comfort her, Second Aunt Yuan's heart was numb with pain.

This child is sensitive and intelligent, and has such a soft and considerate personality. If he goes to someone else's house, he will be liked by others, right?

Most definitely.

The slight hesitation in Yuan's second aunt's heart completely dissipated.

The second aunt of the Yuan family wiped away her tears, and led Yuan Ning to the destination.

Soon, the agreed place arrived.It's a small restaurant near the ferry. It doesn't even have a signboard. There are usually no customers, only flies circling around the door.

Yuan Ning looked up and saw two people sitting in the store, one looked like a local, wearing a worn-out melon cap, with a flattering smile on his face.The other was wearing a suit and leather shoes, and his coat and trousers were very neatly pressed, without a single wrinkle to be seen.The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, and behind the lenses were a pair of piercing eyes.

Yuan Ning flinched at first, then lowered his eyelashes, the long eyelashes concealed the uneasiness and confusion in his eyes, and stood timidly beside Yuan's second aunt.
