When checking out, the cashier suddenly called her name tentatively: "...Jiang Li?"

Jiang Li raised his head, the cashier was a young girl with familiar facial features, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment, she hesitated: "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"It's me, I'm Mi Nan! You don't remember me?"

Jiang Li's eyes widened. Mi Nan was one of Jiang Li's few friends in the orphanage when he was young, but he lost contact with the orphanage after being adopted by a couple many years ago.

Having not seen each other for many years, the joy of the two reuniting was beyond words, Jiang Li settled the bill, and it was just the time for Mi Nan to change shift, so the two found a coffee shop to talk about the old days.

"At that time, you were adopted, and we were all envious. Children like us who were not adopted could only stay in the orphanage. Later, when I was a little older, I came out to work, but I had no education and no ability. , back and forth, and finally I can only be a cashier here."

Jiang Li was full of emotions, the same background, but such a big gap, wanted to comfort Mi Nan, but Mi Nan took it easy, smiled, and then asked: "How about you? How are you? I see that just now The watch is for men, do you have a boyfriend?"

Jiang Li nodded, and said a few words about the experience of so many years. Hearing Mi Nan's face full of envy, he took Jiang Li's hand again: "Anyway, I'm really happy to see you again. After leaving, Teacher Han often misses you, by the way, Teacher Han is sick... the situation is not very good, do you have time, do you want to go and see her?"

Teacher Han was a teacher in the orphanage back then. In the eyes of those children who did not have the care of their parents, Teacher Han was the only light and warmth in their hearts.

Later, Jiang Li was adopted, but the warmth and care he received was not one-tenth of that of Mr. Han.

"Ms. Han is getting old, and her health has always been bad. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease some time ago. There is no cure for this disease, so I can only try to delay it with drugs. She must really want to see you, but I don't know if she will remember you. gone."

In the clean and tidy ward, Teacher Han sat on the bed, looking out the window with blurred eyes.

Jiang Li called her, she turned her head hesitantly, stared at Jiang Li and Mi Nan for a few seconds, her eyes were full of confusion: "Who are you looking for?"

"She still recognized me when I came here last month." Mi Nan was a little depressed.

Jiang Li went up to hold Teacher Han's hand, and said softly, "Mr. Han, don't you remember me at all?"

Teacher Han narrowed his eyes slightly, and carefully looked at Jiang Li's face. After a while, the light in his eyes dimmed, "I don't know."

Jiang Li's eyes were full of disappointment, and when he was about to leave with Mi Nan, Teacher Han behind him slowly opened his eyes, and suddenly stopped her from behind: "Son, after you left with Auntie, why don't you come back to see Teacher?" ah?"

Jiang Li stopped in his tracks: "Auntie?"

She has no relatives in this world, and it was just a strange couple who adopted her in the orphanage.

"The symptoms of this disease are like this." Mi Nan comforted Jiang Li, "There are so many children in the orphanage, Teacher Han must have remembered it wrong."

Jiang Li nodded, but saw Teacher Han looking at her seriously: "Jiang Li, are you Jiang Li?"

"I am, I am Jiang Li." Jiang Li squatted beside Teacher Han and said in surprise, "Teacher, do you remember me?"

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong." Teacher Han muttered to himself, "It was your aunt who came to adopt you back then. The couple took you away, and the formalities are still in the orphanage."

Looking at Jiang Li's current attire, she knew that she was doing well. Teacher Han smiled and stroked Jiang Li's hair: "The children in the orphanage are all poor children. Seeing that you are living so happily now, the teacher is very happy." Don't worry."

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Li and Mi Nan left their contact information, then separated, and took a taxi directly to the orphanage.

Countless questions kept popping up in his mind, making Jiang Li restless.

When she was ten years old, a young couple took her away, but after going there, she found out that the couple had a child, a boy, and she thought they adopted her because they wanted a girl, but They were not nice to her.

She is often made to eat leftovers, wear clothes that boys don't want, and hardly gives her any care.

After graduating from high school, she never went back.

If it was what Teacher Han said, why did they pretend they didn't know her?If he really didn't want to treat her well, why did he take her away from the orphanage all the way?
Huge doubts rose from the bottom of her heart. Gradually, Jiang Li felt a chill behind her back. She closed her eyes to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her heart. She was unwilling to speculate on others with malice.

But when the adoption certificate and the dean's words were presented in front of her eyes, she still couldn't help but twitch in her heart.

The person who picked her up was indeed her aunt who was related by blood.

The phone rang suddenly out of time, Jiang Li stared at it for a while, then slowly picked it up.

"Xiao Li, dinner is ready. It's all your favorite food. I'll pick you up now."

Li Qianfan's magnetic voice came over, and it seemed that the helpless Jiang Li felt a bit of warmth and relief, but his voice was still slightly trembling: "Qianfan."

"What's the matter with you?" Li Qianfan heard something wrong with Jiang Li's voice almost instantly, "Where are you? I'll go find you right now!"

"I'm here..." Jiang Li looked blankly at the scene in front of him, "Welfare Home."

"wait for me!"

After hanging up the phone, the dean handed Jiang Li a glass of water: "Most of the children living in the orphanage have no relatives. When your aunt appeared, I was quite happy for you. I didn't expect you to have relatives alive. Thinking that since they have come all the way to look for you, they will definitely not treat you badly."

Is it.

Jiang Li held the water glass and smiled bitterly. During those countless lonely days, she even began to miss the days when she was accompanied by teachers and directors in the orphanage.

For so many years, her adoptive parents... No, it should be said that her aunt and uncle, who have been indifferent to her, adopted her, but never let her call her parents.

Childhood is a period of personality formation, and what happened in childhood will leave a huge shadow in a person's life and change a person's personality.

Those extremely gloomy six years had caused Jiang Li's huge defect of insecurity. She even thought that it would be better than staying in the orphanage all the time.

The dean didn't understand: "If that's the case, why do they pretend they don't know you?"
