Crossing 1992: Contracting a barren mountain and becoming a huge demolition household

The next day, when Ye Ke came to the bench, he saw the little girl as promised. She was sitting there quietly waiting for Ye Ke, rubbing her hands together from time to time, looking a little uneasy.

Ye Ke saw that she had changed her clothes, still a set of little boy's short-sleeved shirt and shorts, clean but worn out.

Ye Ke pushed the cart slowly towards her. When the little girl heard the noise, she looked up and saw that it was Ye Ke. She smiled brightly at her, revealing two cute rabbit teeth in the middle.

"Sister, you are finally here!" She thought her sister would not come?

The little girl immediately stood up and trotted towards Ye Ke.

Ye Ke pointed to the back seat of the car and said, "Come, sit in the back and show me the way."

Ye Ke bought a women's bicycle. The front and rear seats were not very high, so the little girl could easily sit on it by standing on tiptoe.

After she sat down, she was a little confused about where to put her hands.

Ye Ke pointed to his waist and asked, "Do you want to grab my clothes?"

The little girl responded softly, "Yeah." She timidly reached out her hands to Ye Ke's waist and carefully grabbed the hem of Ye Ke's clothes.

Ye Ke shouted, "Let's go!" and rode his bike to the school gate.

Although it is midsummer now, I can still feel comfortable when riding under the shade of the trees and feeling the cool breeze passing across my face.

The little girl sat in the back seat, feeling unprecedented happiness, her two little feet swinging slightly.

This feeling was indeed unprecedented for her. She had never ridden a bicycle before.

Ye Ke suddenly asked, "How old is your dean's grandmother?"

The little girl blurted out without any warning, "Grandma is fifty-eight this year."

Ye Ke asked again, "Has there always been only one grandmother in the orphanage? Are there no other adults?"

She had wanted to ask this question yesterday. A normal orphanage shouldn't have only this kind of equipment. However, the little girl was so defensive at the time that she wouldn't have answered even if she had asked, so Ye Ke simply didn't ask.

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then nodded affirmatively, "It's only Grandma."

Anyway, there was only one person in her impression.

"So how many children do you have?"

The little girl replied softly, "Including me, there are six in total."

This answer surprised Ye Ke even more. It sounded less and less like the setup of an orphanage. What kind of orphanage would have only one adult and six children?

There are few adults and few children, which sounds informal.

When Ye Ke stood at the door of the "welfare home", the doubts in his head were about to burst out.

Is it because of the times? Why does this welfare home look more like a private compound? Not at all like a government-run institution.

Ye Ke scratched his head in confusion.

The little girl walked up and knocked gently on the door.

There was a rustling sound coming from inside the door, as if someone was moving something.

Then Ye Ke heard a "click" sound from inside, and it sounded like the door was opened.

Ye Ke stretched out her hand to push the door open, but the little girl stopped her in time, "Wait a moment, Tongtong still needs to move the stool."

Ye Ke's head was full of question marks, and he felt confused all day.

But when the door opened from the inside, Ye Ke understood.

The person who opened the door was a child who was only as tall as Ye Ke's thigh. There was a small stool next to the door.

There were three other children in the yard, all of whom stared with wide eyes, curiously looking at Ye Ke, the stranger who suddenly broke in.

Those three children are shorter than the child who opens the door. No wonder Tongtong has to stand on a small stool to open the door?

Tongtong first glanced at Ye Ke curiously, then flew into the little girl's arms, calling out in a baby voice, "Sister Lele, you're finally back. I missed you so much."

Although they hadn't seen each other for only half a day, she missed Sister Lele so much.
