Chapter 19 Disappointment

"What? Do you doubt Aunt Li?"

After getting into the car, Iu was stunned after listening to Ajiu's analysis. She had never thought about this possibility at all. Aunt Li is really a familiar person. How could she have something to do with her brother? But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really possible, at least much more likely than those tenants!

Thinking of this, Iu became anxious and immediately sent a text message to grandma and asked Aunt Li the location of the orphanage where she volunteered. Ajiu did not neglect for a moment and immediately drove over.

The enclave of scenery outside the car window was backwards, Iu clasped his hands together and prayed silently. Out of selfishness, she hoped that Aunt Li was Ajiu's mother, because this could at least prove her fate with Ajiu. Even if it was not out of selfishness, she also hoped that Aunt Li was Ajiu's mother, because she felt very uncomfortable when she looked at her wandering and disgraceful look.

The orphanage is not far from the restaurant. It is almost a ten-minute drive away. The two of them have already arrived at the entrance of the orphanage. Today is the orphanage's open day. Volunteers from all walks of life will come here today to help the orphanage clean, or support some supplies and play with the children. The two of them are regarded as volunteers, and no one stops them and come in easily.

There are only an orphanage in Mapo District, where there are more than 30 children, but on the open day, there are forty or fifty volunteers, each of whom is responsible for one, and there are still some remaining work, so there are not many jobs that are really assigned to everyone. Some people come here, not necessarily for the sake of children. They have been volunteering for many years, and they have become familiar with each other. It is not bad to treat it as a party to meet at a fixed time.

In the crowd, Ajiu saw Aunt Li. She was different from others. Some of them were chatting, some were playing with the children. Only she chose the most tiring job. She was washing three basins of bed sheets. It seemed that all the children's bed sheets were here. Ajiu stood behind her, three meters away, and looked at her back. Suddenly he began to be afraid. He was afraid that Aunt Li was a mother. He didn't know how to face a woman who had abandoned her husband and son for twenty-seven years. At the same time, he also expected Aunt Li to be his mother. He was afraid that if not, he would never find his mother again.

Two completely opposite contradictions tear his heart, Ajiu took a deep breath and turned around to escape.

"Brother," Iu grabbed Ajiu's sleeve tightly. Ajiu looked back at her. Iu looked into his eyes: "Don't you really want to know?"

"I"

"Go, no matter what, I will be with you." Iu pushed Ajiu and gritted his teeth and walked forward two steps.

While he was hesitating whether to say hello, a child squeezed over from behind him, holding a picture book in his hand: "Aunt Yunzhen, what do you pronounce this word?"

It turned out that her name was Li Yunzhen, and Ajiu thought to himself.

"Which word?" Li Yunzhen shook the water droplets on his hand, looked at the child's finger pointing, touched the back of his head, and said, "This word is pronounced as peach. The meaning of this sentence is that the little monkey likes to eat peaches."

Ajiu looked at the curtain in front of him. There was a sudden hallucination in front of him. The child became him when he was seven or eight years old, and Li Yunzhen was his mother. A look of pain appeared between Ajiu's eyebrows. He shook his head hard, interrupted these meaningless imaginations, and walked forward again, wanting to talk to Li Yunzhen.

At this moment, an accident occurred and the child got the answer. He wanted to go back and show off with his friends, so he turned around and became anxious. His left foot accidentally stepped on the shoelaces of his right foot, and his body lost balance. Ajiu subconsciously reached out to him, but Li Yunzhen, who was closer to the child, reacted faster than him. In a flash, he reached out to protect the child's forehead, and her body also lost balance and fell as the child rose and fell.

"Ah!" A cry of pain sounded, and Li Yunzhen's back of her hands was covered with blood. The child was safe and sound, but when she saw the blood, she burst into tears. This road was a gravel road. Li Yunzhen's hand was placed between the child and the stone, and the back of her hands was rubbed. But Li Yunzhen seemed to be unable to feel the pain, and she still cared about the child first until other volunteers came to take over.

From a distance, Iu saw this situation and hurried over.

"Auntie, let's go to the medical room."

Ajiu reached out to pull Li Yunzhen up. Li Yunzhen seemed to have noticed them at this time, and smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

"Auntie, we are actually" Iu was about to say it directly. Ajiu interrupted her and said, "I just finished my meal at my grandma's house, and there was nothing to do in the afternoon. When my grandma talked about the orphanage, I came over to see if I could help with some work."

Li Yunzhen smiled and said, "You are intent, but there is no work here in the orphanage, there are so many people."

Ajiu gave Iuyi a wink, and Iu urged: "Don't stand here to chat, we'll go to the medical room first. Auntie, your hands are still bleeding."

Lee Yunzhen seemed to care and said, "It just looks scary and just take it casually," but she couldn't resist her insistence and still went to the medical room with her.

Ajiu walked behind, looked at Li Yunzhen's blood on the ground, bent down and picked up a stone stained with her blood, and put it in her pocket.

In the medical room, the doctor from the orphanage helped Li Yunzhen clean the wound and bandage it again. The injury was indeed not in the eyes, it was just a skin trauma, but the work of washing the sheets was definitely not done. Ajiu and Iu volunteered to take it on. Li Yunzhen felt a little embarrassed and refused to leave first and accompanied them by her.

Ajiu is very strong, he can easily lift the quilt sheet, then put it in the washing machine, and then take it out and twist it casually, and the water is basically all out. The time is much faster. Iu wants to help, but there is no chance to intervene, so Ajiu doesn't let her work. Li Yunzhen saw it and teased me, saying, "The little girl has really found a boyfriend who loves and does not let your hands get water."

Iu blushed with shame, but did not deny it, and whispered: "It's also my brother who cooks, I can't even cook."

"It's great," Li Yunzhen looked at Ah Jiu and murmured: "If my daughter is still alive and is so old, I'd be relieved if she can find such a son-in-law."

Daughter? How could it be a daughter? Iu didn't care about concealing it and asked hurriedly: "Auntie, is the child you can't find, is it a daughter?"

"Yes," Li Yunzhen nodded and said, "Do you still remember the clothes I gave you when you were a child? That was what I prepared for her." As she said, her expression became gloomy and she forced a smile, "It's just that she doesn't even have the chance to wear them, so she is not by my side."

"That's how it's going" Iu's heart sank. She looked at Ajiu, and she seemed to have not heard these words. She was hanging the bed sheet with her back facing her, and she couldn't see her expression. To be continued.
