Jula took out a bunch of keys and opened the door with a click.
Dudian looked at the slowly opening room, knowing that this would be the place where he would live for a while.
"Dean, come in."
Zhula took out a pair of adult cotton shoes from the small cabinet next to the door, and deliberately waved them in front of Dudian's eyes, as if to make him happy, "These are uncle's shoes, you go first Wear them, and I’ll take you to buy a new pair later in the evening before curfew.”
Dudian was startled for a moment, then relieved.
One of the conditions for adopting a child is that he must be married.
In other words, he has an unmasked nominal father.
He consciously took off the dirty thick shoes on his feet.
The rough shoes carved several painful red marks on his feet.
When he stepped on the clean cotton shoes, he felt a comfortable feeling.
"Come, I'll take you to wash up first."
Jula said enthusiastically.
Dudian thought he could take a comfortable bath, but he saw that she just soaked a towel with warm water, wrung it out, and wiped her face and arms.
This bathing method was exactly the same as in the orphanage.
It’s just that the color of the water is much purer.
Dudian didn't know that in this world, including nobles, all use this "dry cleaning" method to bathe.
People's general perception is that water will weaken the body's functions and reduce disease resistance, even in the most severe cases.
Nobles who love cleanliness will only wash themselves once or twice a year.
After washing, Zhula asked Dudian to familiarize himself with everywhere in the house, while she took the coarse clothes that Dudian had changed and disposed of them.
Dudian walked around the room.
As he expected, he didn't see any technological items, not even a simple wind-up alarm clock.
Moreover, he also saw an item that he had only seen in fairy tales.
He remembered that the background of that fairy tale seemed to be the European Middle Ages, before the age of steam.
Although a single textile machine could not determine anything, Dudian thought of everything he had seen in the past few months and was convinced that the civilization of this post-disaster world should have just developed to the Bronze Age before steam and had just learned to use metal.
This discovery made some thoughts emerge in his heart.
In the evening, the sky was getting dark, the air was getting a little colder, and it seemed like it was going to rain again.
Zhula was worried that Dudian was afraid of the dark, so she lit the oil lamp early.
The dim yellow light swayed on Dudian's face.
Every time she saw it, Zhula felt amazed.
It was so white, whiter than her skin color.
"It's going to rain.
Uncle hasn't come back yet?"
Dudian said as he glanced out the window.
Jula smiled, thinking that this was really a good boy, and said: "Uncle is rushing to make a batch of goods these days.
He won't be back at night.
Are you hungry?
I will make whatever you want to eat."
"Eat whatever you have."
"You're such a good boy, let me try mom's cooking.
I'm sure you'll like it."
Zhu La said confidently.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Dudian has already met the nominal father, named Gray.
He is a tall and thin middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and the same personality as Jula.
He is gentle and treats others.

He is a "tailor" by profession.
The textile machine at home belongs to him.
On the workbench, when the "black snow season" comes, the goods will be brought home to make them.
After all, there are no charcoal or coal stoves in the factory.
They had obviously discussed the matter of Zhu La's adoption of the child.
When he saw Du Dian when he came home for the first time, his expression was just like the adults in the orphanage.
When there were any other problems, I was so satisfied that I couldn't hold back my smile for several days. night.
The common storms in the rainy season came again, and the rain came in patter.
Dudian, who was sleeping in his small room, opened his eyes in vain, sat up suddenly, and realized that it was just a nightmare.
Then he felt that his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, and his clothes were stuck to his skin with sweat.
He felt a little uncomfortable.
He shook off his clothes. , suddenly felt an urge to urinate.
I immediately got out of bed, put on my shoes, and gently opened the door.
I found that there was a dim light on under the door of the room of Mr. and Mrs.
Zhula diagonally across the door.
I couldn't help but be startled. .
It's so late and they haven't slept yet Du Di'an's heart suddenly jumped twice, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his mind, so he came closer unknowingly.
The building materials in this world obviously did not consider the sound insulation effect, at least not in Jula's house.
Subtle sounds came from the room.
"Are you really going to do this?"
This was Jula's voice, with a bit of hesitation.
"I know that you like this child very much, and I also like this child very much.
To be honest, I can't bear to part with it.
However, this is a rare opportunity.
If he can be favored by Miss Ivy's family, we can move into a commercial building.
We'll find a better job there.
If you feel lonely, we'll adopt another child.
It's affordable anyway."
"It's not about money.
I'm worried that if Du Dian marries into Ivy's family, the child won't talk much and will be bullied.
They are completely from two different worlds.
When I was seeing a doctor, I saw those who married into big families.
The children’s lives are similar to those of servants, and some are worse than servants.”
There was silence in the room for a while, and Gray's voice continued, "Jula, you should think about it this way.
He was originally an orphan in the slums.
If he was adopted by another serf family instead of us, his life would be worse than that of a servant. , and being able to live the life of a servant in Ivy’s house will make many others envious.”
"But" "Okay, this matter has been decided.
Whether it can be done or not is still one thing."
The room fell silent.
The little figure at the door also fell silent.
His little hands clenched tightly into fists, and then slowly loosened them.
He turned around, as if dragging his body, and returned to his room, even with the previous I almost forgot about the urge to pee.
Sitting on the bed, Du Dian listened to the patter of rain outside the window, and suddenly felt his heart aching.
Although he had always regarded the Zhulas as nominal parents, the meticulous care of the Zhulas this month made him feel sad.
He was very touched and felt a little more tenderness in his heart, but he didn't expect that the world would once again break some of the soft beauty in his heart like a mockery.

In the dead of night, he suddenly felt very lonely.
Suddenly, he missed his father and mother who were knowledgeable, strict and gentle to him, and his sister who always liked to pinch his ears.
Why, why is the incompetent me left behind?
He clenched his fists, but felt very weak in his heart.
He didn't know how long it had been, but an idea slowly emerged in his heart.
Since he would never see his parents and sister again, he would let this strange world return to where he once was.
Familiar look No one knows that on this rainy night, the gears of history are slowly turning and moving forward in the chest of this inconspicuous little figure in the darkness.
