Chapter 58 We were one family five hundred years ago
Just as the fried noodles were served, Aunt Qi pushed the noodles in front of them and asked tentatively: "Do you want to live with aunt in the future? Aunt is never married and has no children. You come here and we
Just treat it like mother and son."
Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu are entangled. This is not a question of whether they want to, but a question of whether they can.
They have too many secrets. Although living with Aunt Qi can regain the lost mother's love, many things are inconvenient. It is their home, no matter how difficult the conditions are, it is their roots. They never thought that they would be forever.
Leave over there.
The silence between the siblings made Aunt Qi understand their thoughts and said with a smile: "You don't have to be embarrassed. Auntie is just asking. It's okay if you don't want to live with Auntie. Can you tell Auntie where you live?"
p>
Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu shook their heads together again. Seeing Aunt Qi's disappointed expression as they shook their heads, Lin Xiaoman explained, "Auntie, we don't have a place to live. We have been sleeping in the park these days."
"Ah? You guys are sleeping outside? Why didn't you tell your aunt about such a big thing earlier? Even if your aunt doesn't adopt you, she can't let you sleep on the street? Why didn't you find a place to live?"

"We also want to rent a house to live in, but we don't have a household registration or ID card, and we are still minors, so they won't rent it to us." Lin Xiaoman was half-seriously sad, but in his heart he expressed his gratitude to the kind-hearted Qi
Aunt Qi apologized. She didn't want to lie to Aunt Qi, but there were some things she couldn't tell her, so she had to choose to lie.
Aunt Qi's eyes were full of heartache, "Well, let's do this. Auntie has a house in front of her. Since she opened the villa, she hasn't been back to live in it for a long time. You two siblings can live in it first, and we will wait until the adoption procedures are completed."
Lin Xiaoman hurriedly refused, "No, no, no, we have money, but we just don't have a household registration. How about Auntie help us rent a house. We can pay for it ourselves. It's just over there in the park. It's convenient for us to do business."<
/p>
Thinking that these two children started doing business at a young age, Aunt Qi complained that they did not want to get close to her. At the same time, she felt that these two children did not like to take advantage of others and did not want the house they were given to live in. They were really good and honest children.
.
"Okay, you tell me where you want to rent, and Auntie will take you there. It happens to be early today, so I will take you to the police station to go through the adoption procedures."
After saying that, he looked at the watch on his wrist and muttered: "I just don't know if there is anyone on duty at the police station this weekend."
The siblings quickly finished the noodles in the bowl and the side dishes that went with the noodles. They both felt that the taste was so fragrant and tasted better than any noodles they had ever eaten.
If you have the chance in the future, you must learn how to make fried noodles.
Sitting in Aunt Qi's car, the siblings resisted the urge to reach out and touch everywhere. Lin Erhu asked: "Auntie, your car is really nice. How much did it cost? I want to buy it too."
Aunt Qi laughed, "You are still young, you can't drive it even if you buy it."
Lin Erhu was puzzled, "Why does driving depend on your age?"
"Well, you can't take the driver's license test until you are eighteen years old. You still have to wait for more than ten years."
Lin Erhu wanted to say that he was nine years old and could take the exam in nine more years, but Lin Xiaoman punched him and he gasped in pain. He didn't understand why his sister hit him.
Aunt Qi's car drove very fast and parked in front of the police station more than half an hour later. Because the case of Xiao Mengzha's boyfriend was handled here, this police station is not far from the park.<
/p>
When getting off the car, Lin Xiaoman lowered his voice and said in Lin Erhu's ear: "Remember, when people ask you how old you are, say seven!"
Although Lin Erhu didn't know what his sister meant, he still nodded obediently.
Because it was the weekend, there were not many people in the police station. A middle-aged policeman saw Aunt Qi, then looked at the two children she was leading, and joked: "Hey, Xiao Qi, you found the person? It's not easy."
”
Aunt Qi smiled, "It's okay. The two children have mobile phones, so they found someone with just a phone call. Officer Lin, you're on duty today."
Officer Lin said: "On duty this week, okay. Now that the person has been found, you come with me. I will have someone register you and leave two hairs for each of you. Let's wait and see when the test results come out. By the way, listen to what Xiao Qi said.
Your surname is Lin too? What a fate. In our area, the surname Lin is a common surname that has been passed down for thousands of years. Maybe we were in the same family five hundred years ago."
Lin Xiaoman didn't know if he was the ancestor of Officer Lin, but he could see a bit of Uncle Daqiang in his appearance. Maybe he was really their grandson after so many generations.
Smiled a little awkwardly.
Aunt Qi and her siblings followed Officer Lin into an office, and first asked the female police officer on duty to register their information.
Because Lin Xiaoman had confessed before, Lin Erhu said that he was seven years old. The policewoman glanced at him and smiled, "It's not bad, I didn't delay going to school. But now the school management is strict, and you can't have such long hair anymore when you go to school."
”
Lin Erhu covered his head in surprise, "What? Do you have to cut your hair to go to school?"
"Isn't that right? There are strict requirements for students' hairstyles. For boys like you, many schools require that the hair should not be longer than one finger high. Just put your hands into your hair and the hair should not be higher than the back of your hands."
The policewoman stretched out her hand and put it on Lin Erhu's head as a demonstration.
Lin Erhu pursed his lips and began to debate whether he should go to school or not. But in the future, he would have a household registration. If he didn't go to school, would Aunt Qi be in trouble?
Alas, let’s take it one step at a time.
Hearing Lin Xiaoman say she was twelve, the policewoman looked at her again and said, "She's not short. It's okay if she hasn't been to school. She can keep up if she takes extra classes later. Your hair is also long. Some girls in school have long hair."
If it doesn’t cover the eyebrows, doesn’t cover the ears at the sides, and doesn’t cover the neck at the back, you have to cut it off too.”
Lin Xiaoman couldn't imagine how other people would look at them when they returned there if they both had short hair.
Afterwards, the female police officer asked some questions about who they lived with before and where their home was. Lin Erhu pretended to be afraid and hid behind Lin Xiaoman and let her speak for herself.
Lin Xiaoman said while making up, "I can't remember clearly. That year, my parents passed away, and I was kicked out of the house when I was six years old, carrying my younger brother who had just turned one year old. I came here after begging for food. Apart from remembering my name and
I don’t remember my age, where my home is, or who my parents are.”
The policewoman's eyes turned red when she heard this, "It's so tragic. Now that someone is willing to adopt you, you can live a good life with your adoptive mother. Don't think about the hardships you suffered before."
"Yeah, thank you sister."
The policewoman burst into tears when she called her sister, "You are so sweet. I will leave you a phone number later. If you encounter any problems, please call me."
After Lin Xiaoman thanked her, he took out his mobile phone and exchanged mobile phone numbers with the policewoman, and added WeChat.
After learning that her surname was An, the siblings called out "Sister An" one after another, making Officer An very happy.
