The other children noticed this sensitively, and one of the petite little girls immediately said, "Uncle and aunt, this is Du Di'an. He has some brain problems, likes to daydream, and can't speak. Don't take offense
Although she is not very old, the harsh living environment has taught her to be extremely clever. This statement is very clever, as it does not appear to be competitive or jealous, but also points out Dudian's flaws and shows her good behavior.
Yeah, yeah
Uncle and aunt, don't have the same knowledge as him
The other children only reacted belatedly and quickly agreed.
Barton and several other children who lived in the same room as Dudian looked at the leading little girl in surprise, seemingly not expecting her to make a sound and make a fuss. At this moment, hearing the words of other able-bodied children, their faces couldn't help but turn pale, but they dared not speak up for Dudian, afraid of leaving a bad impression on these adults.
Dudi gave the little girl a faint glance, feeling slightly surprised. In his impression of the past three months, he remembered that this little girl was one of the few healthy children with a kind personality. Even when it came to deformed children like Barton, she never spoke ill of them. Especially this little girl, she was very gentle with everyone. Even Barton and other deformed children talked about her in private and praised her.
Dudian also has a good impression of her. Remember her name, it seems to be... Lisa?
At this moment, when these adults heard Lisa's words, a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes. A child with such clean skin and delicate appearance, no wonder was abandoned. For a moment, many adults felt regretful.
Seeing the expressions of the adults, Lisa and the other able-bodied children immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Dear uncles and aunts
In vain, without any warning, a childish voice sounded from the crowd, and all the children and adults looked in surprise. Suddenly, all the children widened their eyes as if they had seen a ghost, because it was Du Di'an who was speaking!
During these three months of living in the orphanage, Du Di'an silently observed and listened carefully every day, learning a lot of simple language. In addition, the orphanage also provided basic speech and pronunciation guidance, even in the run down orphanage, which was no exception. However, all the babies inside were around one year old. Although he did not join, he eavesdropped and learned a lot.
However, the people around him already thought he was mute, and they used gestures to communicate with him. No one came to chat with him proactively, so he simply didn't bother to speak and was happy to be quiet.
There's nothing wrong with me, "Dudian said calmly.
The immature voice gives people an undeniable illusion.
The adults were somewhat surprised, and in the next moment they seemed to understand something. They cast angry glances at Lisa, who had spoken earlier. When they saw the little girl's shocked expression, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Soon, the adults realized that the other children were also looking surprised, and only then did they realize that the problem was not with the little girl, but with Dudian.
For a moment, many adults frowned.
One of the middle-aged people with a strong physique and dark skin said calmly, "Judging from their expressions, it seems like they don't even know that you can speak. Can you tell me why you're hiding it from them
The biggest taboo for adults is adopting a child who is full of thoughts and lacks a sense of security.
Dudian knew he had stepped on a thread in the hearts of these people, but he remained calm and said, "I didn't deliberately hide it from them. It's just that I have an introverted personality and don't like to talk. They treated me like a mute, and I let them go
Upon hearing his words, the coldness in the eyes of the adults gradually eased. Most orphans have autism symptoms, and they understand and comprehend it.
Even if you are autistic, at the age of the orphanage director, it's impossible for you not to say a word, right? "A chubby faced woman in the crowd asked suspiciously.
Before Du Di'an could speak, Aunt Dai next to him preemptively said, "It's like this, this child loves cleanliness, and we specially assigned him a separate room, so he doesn't have much opportunity to communicate with other children
As soon as these words were spoken, Dudian, Barton, and the other children were all slightly stunned. They didn't know why Aunt Dai was lying. There was no child in the orphanage who could enjoy a room alone.
Dudian's heart moved, and he immediately understood that in this regard, the current orphanage and the old era orphanage are similar. They will package the children in the orphanage perfectly and cover up the flaws to the minimum. If these adults knew that Dudian was only three months old when he was admitted to the hospital, even if his conditions were good, no one would be willing to adopt him because the seven or eight year old child already has memories and definitely remembers his biological parents. No one can guarantee that when he is raised to adulthood, he will leave himself to search for his parents again.
Understanding this, Du Di'an's heart sank slightly. He glanced at the other children and saw that those physically sound children and Lisa seemed to be about to say something. At this moment, Du Di'an saw Aunt Dai with her back to the adults, glaring fiercely at Lisa and the children who were about to speak, making their faces pale with fear.
In the orphanage, Aunt Dai has the power of life and death over all of them. With just one word from Aunt Dai, they can never have the opportunity to be adopted.
As for why Aunt Dai helped him, Dudian certainly did not narcissistically believe that he had any special personality charm, but rather that the earlier he was adopted, the less food he consumed in the orphanage.
I see. "The chubby faced woman suddenly realized and looked sympathetically at Dudian, saying," Child, I chose you. From now on, you can be my child
As soon as these words were spoken, Barton and several other children with good relationships immediately looked at Dudian enviously, happy for him.
Dudian glanced at the fat faced woman's clothes and palms, and saw that her fingers were rough, indicating that she was doing hard work. He couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly and was about to refuse when suddenly another person smiled and said, "I think this child is quite pleasing to me, and I think, with my conditions, I am also more suitable to be the child's parents
Everyone looked around and saw a middle-aged man with a plain appearance speaking, with a faint smile on his face.
The chubby woman's face changed and she said coldly, "I'd love to hear what kind of big shot you are
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "I'm not a big shot, I'm just a small gardener in the Mel family
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. The children hadn't reacted much yet, but the adults around them couldn't help but change their color. One of them whispered, "The Mel family? That Mel family
Besides that Mel family, which other Mel family can afford a gardener
For a moment, everyone looked into the middle-aged man's eyes with a hint of awe.
The chubby faced woman's face turned pale and she lowered her head without saying a word.
How about it, child? "The middle-aged man was satisfied with the reactions of others and looked at Dudian with a smile.
Lisa and the other children, including the deformed ones like Barton, were clever in their thinking and could see some clues at this moment. They looked at Dudian with envy and jealousy. It would be good if they could be adopted, but Dudian was being fought over, and the gap was a bit big!
Du Di'an frowned slightly and remained silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, uncle. I hope my parents are doctors, as this would give them a sense of security
This is a polite refusal.
The middle-aged man was a bit stunned, as if he didn't expect Du Di'an to refuse. He had gone to many orphanages to find suitable children, and all those children were excited and thrilled to hear that they could be adopted. There was no one as calm as Du Di'an, and he spoke in an orderly manner.
Soon, the middle-aged man realized that although everyone knew about the Meishan family in this outer wall area, these children didn't even know what a "gardener" was, after all, the worlds they lived in were too far apart.
Dudian certainly knew what a gardener was, and from the expressions of those adults, he also knew that this' Mel family 'must be a formidable behemoth, but even with a name on it.
He also doesn't want his parents to be servants.
What is a mere gardener proud of?
