A wonderful life through the 1970s

Lan Xiyue followed the little boy further and further away, and stopped in front of the gate of a dilapidated courtyard.

"Sister, we're here."

"Well, go in."

The little boy pushed open the door to the yard and shouted inside: "Brother and sister, I'm back. We have food now."

A young boy, about fourteen or fifteen years old, ran out of the house. "Aye, where have you been? I thought you were kidnapped by human traffickers again."

"Brother, I'm going to find something to eat. This sister is very rich, she will buy us food, and we won't be hungry."

Lan Xiyue couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard his matter-of-fact tone. If it weren't for the fact that this kid was only four or five years old and didn't know anything, she would have slapped him a long time ago.

Xue Zhiqian looked at the woman standing at the door and said nervously, "Thank you for sending Aye back. He is still young and naive. I am sorry for causing you trouble."

Lan Xiyue raised her eyebrows. This young man had a clear and upright look and was not a bad person.

"Brother, sister said she would treat us to some buns, and she is a good person.

Xue Zhiqian covered A Ye's mouth and whispered to him, "We can't take other people's things for free."

Lan Xiyue scanned the environment here and asked, "Is this how you get through the winter?"

"Huh? Yes."

Ah Ye pushed Xue Zhiqian's hand away, ran to Lan Xiyue and called out in a cute and adorable voice, "Sister, I'm hungry."

"Aye!" Xue Zhiqian roared angrily.

A Ye ignored Xue Zhiqian and just looked at Lan Xiyue expectantly.

Lan Xiyue was very patient at this moment. "I'm treating you to a meal today, but what are you going to do tomorrow? I can't treat you to a meal every day."

Ah Ye tilted his head as if thinking about something, and suddenly turned around and ran into the house. After a while, he ran back with a black jade pendant in his hand.

Sister, can I exchange this with you?

Xue Zhiqian immediately stopped him and said, "No, Aye, that's the only proof of your identity, you can't change it."

"Brother, we are all starving to death. What's the point of keeping this jade pendant? Won't we still not be able to find our family after we die?"

Lan Xiyue looked at the jade pendant and knew at first glance that it was a good thing, definitely not something that ordinary people could own.

"Is this Aye's jade pendant?" Lan Xiyue asked curiously.

Well, it was on Ah Ye when we picked him up. He escaped from the hands of human traffickers, but he was too young at the time and didn't remember where his home was. He only knew his name was Mu Ye.

Mu, there seems to be a Mu family among the hidden families. I just don't know if they have ever lost a child.

"How about this, leave this jade pendant with me, and I will try to help him find his family." Lan Xiyue looked at Xue Zhiqian.

Xue Zhiqian hesitated for a while but finally agreed. With these orphans, they were not able to help Ah Ye find his family. Ah Ye was the only orphan who was trafficked among the nine orphans. The rest of the orphans either lost their parents or were abandoned at the station because their families could not afford to raise them.

Lan Xiyue put away the jade pendant and asked Xue Zhiqian, "How old are you? How many people are there here?"

"My name is Xue Zhiqian, and I'm fifteen years old. There are nine of us here, I'm the oldest, and Aye is the youngest."

Lan Xiyue pondered for a while and thought of the cultural relics in the space. It was only the end of 74, and many cultural relics had been destroyed. It would be better to collect more, whether donating them to the country or opening a museum in the future, rather than having them destroyed now.

So he said to Xue Zhiqian: "Please help me with my work. I will not only provide you with food and shelter, but also send you to school and even teach you martial arts."

"We don't do bad things!"

Lan Xiyue glanced at him and asked, "Do I look like a bad guy?"

Xue Zhiqian scratched his head awkwardly and didn't respond.
