Chapter 53 Part III, Section 54: Cicadas on the Eighth Day (54)

"I don't seem to be here today." Lei Bi said, listening to the movement outside the door. "Of course. I probably finally found out that there is something wrong with me. It's really embarrassing to yell in that kind of place. Isn't that equivalent to beating gongs and drums to announce that you have been abandoned by your daughter?" Shaku wrung the rag vigorously while wiping said the scrubbed angel. A small group of people came to ask for their daughter back. It happened a few days ago.Yami, who joined the membership about three months ago, her parents and a few helpers, whether they were relatives or friends, shouted loudly in front of the door.Yami is only seventeen years old. At the beginning, she said that she had obtained the consent of her parents and hoped to stay here, but in fact she seemed to have run away from home secretly.The people above once asked Yami if she wanted to go home, and it was said that she refused, not even seeing her parents.

Who can become a member and who can't, this screening criterion, even though I have lived here for two and a half years, I still don't understand.Mrs. Tokuda and Sanzhi used to commute from home to work here at first, but they have disappeared recently.Sha Hui, who was named Shalu, left after only staying for half a year.Of the five people at that time, only Kumi, who was named Estelle, and our mother and daughter remained.It is the superficial policy of this place to open the door to everyone, but in fact, there are people like Mrs. Tokuda who cannot be allowed to join.I really can't figure out why I am willing to take in the underage Yami, but drive away the adult women who should at least have some savings than Yami.

This is not the only thing I can't figure out.I have lived here for almost two and a half years, but I am not allowed to speak out these questions.No, it's not forbidden, it's just that no one can answer.Every morning, we will be assigned various tasks, including picking vegetables and packing them, serving as manna workers, educating children, sweeping the floor and doing laundry, going out to donate vegetables and water, and out-work in the secular world. , mail-order delivery and leaflet printing . I only saw Master Angel's appearance on the day when he was named.If you bumped into that rustic aunt in the supermarket, you probably wouldn't realize that she was Mrs. Angel.I really can't believe that everything is decided by her, but if you ask me who else has the right to decide, I can't answer.There is a building like AngelHome, but the interior is shrouded in fog all year round-this is my impression.

I was assigned to distribute printed materials that day, which was a huge relief.Until yesterday, it was boxing cabbage, and before that, it was cleaning the chicken coop behind the yard.As expected, physical labor is very strenuous even for two weeks.If you accidentally confide this kind of truth, it will immediately be regarded as the subject of criticism in a meeting.So I pretended to be nonchalant and took Xun and Ma Rong to school. Ma Rong held Xun's hand and ran towards the children who gathered from all over.Kaoru couldn't keep up and fell, she fell to the ground and didn't move.I watched and wondered if she would cry, but she got up with an expression of trying to hold back.She quietly turned her head to make sure that I saw that she was not crying, then pursed her lips and waved slightly to me.
