Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 54 Roasted Sweet Potatoes (please recommend tickets for collection)

  Life is always so unsatisfactory.

  So even if it is just to make yourself feel "okay", it is actually very difficult.

  During a period of time in his life, a girl once made Ye Dongqing feel comfortable and peaceful. These emotions were very important to him, so in return, he wanted to give her back a good childhood.

  The past cannot be made up for, but he is confident that in the days to come, the girl named Zhao Liuli will live comfortably.

   It is impossible to find her exactly the same. The history has been changed by Ye Dongqing himself. He can only hope that the other party will not lose the most precious thing in him. If it seems like a different person, he feels that he will be very disappointed.

I deliberately wore a down jacket that was not so Wall Street, so that I looked like an employee of an ordinary child welfare center. I happened to drop by and drove to the vicinity of Chinatown. After a few laps, I found a shop selling roasted sweet potatoes. I wrapped it carefully and packed it Put it in your pocket.

   Worried that it would not be sweet, she deliberately tasted one first. Ye Dongqing wanted to make a good impression on the current little girl. After being together for so long, how could she not know what she likes to eat.

  By the way, I bought a candied haws as a spare. As long as people who go out of Chinatown, there are not many people who don't like them.

  The society has not yet experienced the baptism of the era of digital explosion. People still spend most of their social interaction and learning in face-to-face conversations, watching TV, and reading newspapers. For Chinese children, snacks are closely related to childhood memories.

The faces of his parents in Ye Dongqing's mind have long been blurred, but he still remembers the dumplings made by his mother and the rabbit steamed buns made by his grandfather. The taste is very similar to the memory.

  If it wasn’t for missing a period of childhood, he might become a lawyer, or an accountant who graduated from a prestigious school. Except for those with mental problems, no one is born a bad person, and most of them are closely related to the growth environment.

  Dad’s sigh of complaining that he didn’t work hard and couldn’t get into a big company vaguely lingered in Ye Dongqing’s ears. At that time, he thought about fighting for him...

   After all, he is not a young man anymore. His body has returned to eighteen years old, but his memory has not been erased. Before leaving, he gave a thumbs up to the sweet potato seller, and there is nothing to say about the taste.

The old man just smiled. Selling roasted sweet potatoes is a sideline business, and steamed buns are his main business. The business was very good in the morning, so he didn’t have time to talk to him. He replied: “I grow it at home. There is a vegetable garden next to my son’s house. I often come to buy it in the future. .”

  For ordinary people, having a vegetable garden big enough to grow sweet potatoes next to their home is something to be proud of. In Manhattan, housing prices are high and the per capita living area is small. Locals always have a hard-to-break affection for big houses.

  Ye Dongqing could hear the pride in the uncle's words, and continued with dignity: "That house is not cheap, no wonder it is so delicious."

  Further down, it seems to be showing off. If a jealous customer finds out, they may buy it elsewhere. The uncle is well versed in the world, so he just smiled happily and kept his mouth shut.

   I'm not really envious of the big house, the scenery I've seen is different, Ye Dongqing just thinks this kind of ordinary life is quite comfortable, the only regret is that it's not suitable for him, ambition doesn't allow him to willingly become an ordinary person.

  Before the sweet potatoes get cold, hurry up and continue on the road. There is still a way to Queens.

  ********************

  The adoption procedures in the United States are relatively cumbersome.

  If a couple wants to adopt a child, they must first prove that they have the ability to let the child grow up comfortably. From time to time, they have to accept home visits and supervision. The United States has done a good job in taking care of children, and there are many caring couples.

  Western society does not pay too much attention to blood relationship, but relatively speaking, Chinese families attach great importance to it. Raising other people's children, even if you never say it, you will feel uncomfortable in your heart.

Occasionally, Ye Dongqing would be thankful that at least her aunt's family was not really cold-blooded and gave herself a shelter from the wind and rain. However, thinking about the source of the rent, the little gratitude in her heart would always be washed away. There is no reason for any psychological burden to break off contact - I don't think I owe anything.

  Newborn healthy babies are most likely to be adopted by others. They are fine before the age of four or five. Before the child’s character has formed, the prospective parents who decide to adopt can try to shape their character. Once the child is over six years old, it will be a bit troublesome.

  It depends on personality and appearance. Many orphans have been adopted for a long time and then sent back to the orphanage, which will cast a shadow on their personality. There are many caring families, and there is still the possibility of being adopted.

  Zhao Liuli is only eight years old this year, and has vision defects. Since she was sent to the New York Children's Relief Association, she has been living with a large group of children, and no one wants to adopt her.

  Individual adoption, the procedures are more troublesome, and it is much easier between associations.

  After meeting with the hacker Paul, Ye Dongqing brought the written documents of another children's organization, and easily deceived the other party and went through the entire process.

  Standing in the corridor, temporarily thinking about how to get along with the little girl, he showed a embarrassed look.

  On the grass a few meters away, a girl with protruding ears was sitting there. She had fair skin and was wearing thick clothes. The woman who helped with the formalities just now was talking to Zhao Liuli, with all her luggage packed in a small bag.

Before Paul left, he looked at the candied haws in Ye Dongqing's hands, and then at the little girl in the distance, crossed his arms and said, "Now I kind of believe that she is really your sister, otherwise, it's impossible for a person like you Who are you so kind to?"

   "You don't know me, how do you know what kind of person I am?"

   "Intuition, you are definitely a dangerous and cunning guy.

  You threatened me yesterday and lied to them again today, isn’t it normal for me to think so, judging from your performance, you must be a repeat offender, or the kind of narcissist who thinks you won’t be caught. "

  Paul's tone was affirmative.

  He found Ye Dongqing's weakness and began to become arrogant. Later, he needed to help clear the return visit information of the New York Children's Relief Association. Since it is useful to keep it, the risk of being killed and silenced is very small.

  Ye Dongqing said indifferently: "If you use the word self-confidence, I will be more satisfied, so why stay? Waiting for me to treat you to dinner?

  Take a taxi and go back by yourself. I won’t be in the mood to look for you in the next few days, so I’ll wait for my call at home. If nothing else happens, working for me will definitely make more money than extorting you. "

   Without giving Paul a chance to ask questions, he had already moved forward and came to Zhao Liuli, with a fair face and protruding ears, he looked very cute.

  The little girl's nose twitched, her dull eyes suddenly opened wide, "I smell the smell of roasted sweet potatoes?"

   "Well, my breakfast, but if you want to eat it, I can give it to you, and now I can take her away, right? Ms. Clay?"

  Grabbing Zhao Liuli's hand naturally, Ye Dongqing stuffed the sweet potatoes and candied haws in her pocket into her hand...
