Dean saw the joy in his eyes and the scattered white hairs in his hair. He suddenly felt that although they adopted him, but he didn't fulfill his obligations as a son. Although three years ago he was engaged to the Avril family, but the hatred in his heart has long been soothed. His father often said that people are not saints, so who can avoid mistakes?
"You have lost so much weight after leaving for more than ten days." Jura looked at Dean distressed.
Gray smiled: "Come sit down and talk."
Dean nodded slightly and put down the bag. He came to the table and talked with them about the business district. As for the task, it was confidential so he didn't want to talk about it.
"Did you say that you have been recognized by the consortium and promoted?" Gray was surprised when he heard Dean's words. It was the first time he was going to be promoted? Wasn't it too fast?
Dean took out the key: "The consortium has assigned me a house. We can move to a new house later."
Jura was stunned: "Directly assigned a house? So generous! "
"Gee, the Mellon consortium is really something!" Gray apparently had heard the news about the Mellon consortium. He sighed and shook his head: "However, your mother and I have been living here for too long. We are very familiar with the surrounding neighbors. Moving to a new place is not easy. Moreover, my work is not far from home." Dudian said.
"Well, then I can only live alone in the commercial district." Dean regretfully said.
"Well, you are about to reach the age of marriage. You should learn to be independent … Huh? Wait, what did you just say? Live in the commercial district? You mean the house assigned to you by the consortium is in the commercial district? "
"Yes."
"You, you … um, when can we move there?"
"… Anytime."
"Ha ha …" Gray suddenly laughed. His lifelong pursuit was to live in the commercial district and see the life of the people. He didn't expect that such a wish would come true so suddenly.
Jura covered her mouth and chuckled. She looked at Dean with eyes full of concern and gratification. She didn't expect Dean to give them such a big surprise.
Dean couldn't help but smile when he saw them so happy. Suddenly, he thought of something. He took out a gold coin from his arms and said: "This is what I earned during the mission. I borrowed a lot from you before. The rest is filial piety."
Gray and Jura were surprised when they saw the gold coin. They didn't expect to earn one gold coin in just ten days. This was much higher than their salary. It was simply incomparable.
"You earned this?" Jura couldn't help but ask: "What is your task? Is it very difficult? You were sent for training in the past, and you're a guard. Don't tell me your mission is very dangerous? " Years of living had taught her that effort and gain were proportional. There was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Even if there was one, it would be in the trash can.
Dean smiled and said: "No, we are not going to war. There is no danger. The task is more complicated, so we need training. Most people can't do it." He grinned.
Jura looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
Dean nodded with absolute certainty.
Jura was relieved and laughed: "So, you really have the ability. When I first saw you, I felt that you were different from other children …" Suddenly, she felt her husband's arm touch her and winked at her. She suddenly realized that she shouldn't continue to talk about the orphanage, so as not to evoke Dean's memories.
Dean noticed Gray's small movements, but didn't care. Instead, he felt a little guilty. He knew that although he could be good to them, but he would never forget his biological parents and his sister who loved him since childhood. They firmly occupied too much position in his heart. No one could replace them.
"After we move to the new house, I'll help you get a position in the consortium." Dean said to the two: "In this way, you don't have to work. You can get a basic salary every month. You don't have to be so frugal. Eat what you should eat, use what you should use. I'll make a lot of money in the future." This was one of his hunter privileges. As long as he used his connections, he could pick a gap in the various industrial chains of the consortium.
Gray laughed: "I'm still healthy. I don't need you to take care of me. Although you earn a lot, but you can't spend money carelessly. You should save it to marry a wife and have children in the future. Do you understand?"
"Speaking of this." Jura suddenly smiled: "Dean, a few days ago I met an aunt. She is a very good person. Her daughter is almost at the age of marriage. She wants to meet you. What do you think?"
Dean's face turned red. He was quite embarrassed: "This, this …"
"You are almost at the age of marriage. You should consider it." Gray also said.
Dean blushed with shame. He was still a quarter away from twelve years old. Thirteen years old was the legal age for marriage. Moreover, in his worldview, even if he was thirteen years old, he was just a kid. He couldn't get married and have children!
But in this era, people were aging fast. Diseases, disasters and other problems would take a lot of lives every year. Even if the radiation accumulated in the body, people would lose fertility. So they would get married very early. But he couldn't adapt to this.
"I'll think about it when I reach the age of marriage." Dean euphemistically said.
Jura saw the persistence in Dean's eyes. She helplessly said: "Well, I won't force you if you don't want to. But you really don't want to see her daughter. I've seen her. She is absolutely a little beauty."
"I agree," Gray said with a smile.
Jura rolled her eyes at him.
Dean shook his head again and again. It would be more hurtful to refuse when they met. However, his heart suddenly thought of that moonlit night. They sat side by side in the pavilion in the garden. They looked up at the gray moon and chatted for a whole night. His heartbeat slightly accelerated. He secretly thought: "I don't know what she is doing now. Will it be too abrupt if I go to find her directly? "
Thinking of this, his thoughts drifted away.
…
…
That night, Dean accompanied Jura and Barton to chat very late. The next morning, just after dawn, Dean's biological clock pulled him up on time. After a simple wash and breakfast, he said goodbye to Jura and Barton and went out. He took a carriage to the slums.
Last night, Jura mentioned the orphanage. It made his heart a little anxious. Although he had only lived with Barton for a few months, but now three years had passed. Their faces were blurred in his mind. But in his heart, he still remembered that when he first came to the orphanage, it was them who accompanied him.
He was very clear about what kind of treatment orphans would face once they passed the age of adoption.
