Ye de slowly and treasuredly sipped the thoroughly cold coffee.

He waited for that little bit of cold coffee to slip into the deep belly, and it took several seconds before he released a thin energy to his body, as light as a cloud, but it really made his brain clearer.

Ye de put his heart down completely. He guessed right as expected. This method of drinking coffee is no problem.

After Lin Sanjiu introduced [bullet proof Coffee full of vitality], he came up with an idea: if you can get as much energy from coffee as you drink, and how much energy you need to pay, why should he finish it in one breath?

After drinking in one breath, his energy is greatly improved, and the sustainable time is limited. Once the effect passes, he will faint and be as useless as a dead man.

Aren't there "slow release" drugs? If he sips, he only gets a little energy from coffee each time, and also digests a little bit of sequelae; This cup of coffee can last him a long time, and he can do a lot of things.

At first, ye de didn't know how much to drink or how often to drink, so after lying inside the aircraft, he spent a long time because his brain was heavy and unclear, and he couldn't reactivate the spare head. Until Lin Sanjiu entered Fanjia City alone, he finally mastered the information flow and contacted her; At that time, he also figured out when and how much coffee to drink.

Although the theory is no problem, in practice, there are many small inconveniences - if the interval between two cups of coffee is too long, ye de will be drowsy into thirty years ago, and see 97 childcare homes again, and the warm sunshine that filled his whole childhood.

It's not that he doesn't welcome it.

"... just call me Yejing," he heard Yejing tremble and say, "I'm almost thirty, and the eldest sister still seems to be a little numb."

She is always like this; The mind turns quickly, and the idea becomes fast. Once, when it was time for dinner, she took all eight children in the nursery to an outing.

The outing site is an open space, where evolutionists often train their skills and abilities; At ordinary times, if adults dare to linger there to watch their training, they must have been thrown down the mountain - but instead of a lazy woman with a group of ordinary children, it seems that even evolutionists don't feel threatened, so no one came to drive them away all evening.

At first, the children were afraid and curious, and all of a sudden, they grew an extra length of neck and stretched their heads to watch; Most of them were the first time to see such a fast, magical and powerful evolutor. They laughed and screamed for a while. They were also scolded by Yejing for being too noisy.

When they became familiar with and were not afraid of it, they began to pretend that they were also good at fighting and learned to behave like evolutionists. You came and went for a long time, imagining a complete set of evolutionary abilities for yourself, and arguing for who could overcome who for a long time - although hungry, ad had a good time that evening.

Later, he learned that the nursery was out of food that day.

The nursery was a "charity project" set up by Fanjia city management organization at that time. If someone slaps his head and remembers it, they can enjoy materials that are difficult for ordinary people to enjoy: milk, vegetables, flour and books of various categories. If the person in charge of them forgets the nursery - and often forgets - Ye Jing will have to rack her brains to feed eight mouths alone. If not, she will try to make them forget that she still has a mouth.

Therefore, the time when the whole sports children's hospital goes out for outings, studies and classes together, and works and runs errands together always brings a layer of food that is half hungry and not full; But when ye de looked back now, he couldn't remember that uncomfortable hunger at all.

"I won't lie to you. Changing diapers for children is one of the required lessons for evolutionists." another time, Yejing looked serious and handed a crying baby to him, saying, "if you want to be a respected adult, you must first learn how to change diapers for your children."

Even ad, who was only six at the time, knew she was talking nonsense. If changing diapers was a respected standard, Yejing would have been beaten by everyone.

There are many things she can't do well: such as sewing clothes, washing clothes, cooking, coaxing children to sleep... The slightly older children in the nursery soon helped her share part of the work. Addo does a diaper change, which is really no big deal.

No child in the nursery has ever complained about working too much - it's not their high consciousness, it's because it's so fun to be with Ye Jing. Mixing with her, she can learn new knowledge and listen to stories. She has a lot of games in her mind and can fight. It is said that most men suffer. Ad remembered a girl named Lantian, several years older than him, who said, "let's take care of Ye Jing."

Diapers changed, and Xiaopeng disappeared.

"I don't want to do it anymore,"

On the afternoon of the day when he couldn't find the baby, ad accidentally saw Ye Jing talking to another man on road 95. She became angry, and the whole person became a living fire. Even if there was an evolutionist opposite, she was not afraid. "Who do you like to do this job? I'd rather pump water! It's agreed, but it's only temporary? I didn't sign up to take care of children. I signed up for the patrol team, and I won't take care of children. Besides, there's nothing. What do I take?"

"Don't you just die a baby?" the evolutionist on the other side didn't seem to take her anger seriously. "That baby was a little sick, and no one blamed you. OK, OK, next time I'll give you more things, isn't it over? You've done well. Look at the other children in the nursery, aren't they all good?"

Ad later realized that Ye Jing might really dislike childcare.

When other adults talked about patrolling, how they shuttled back and forth in the human gathering area walking in the clouds, and how they ventured and worked with the evolutionists, Ye Jing's face looked like the look of a child in a nursery when he listened to her story.

Adults always think that children don't understand anything, but they are actually searching, observing and remembering every detail from the corners of all words, looks and actions, and are always trying to solve the big mystery of "the adult world".

"If I am immersed in haze, I will definitely evolve," Ye Jing said when drinking with his neighbors. At that time, she probably thought that all the children in the nursery were sleeping in the house. "This is not my boast. I know I have potential."

"How did you know?" A neighbor asked.

"An evolutionist helped me see it," Yejing said. "I did her a favor, and she showed it to me. She also said that if I evolved, maybe I could develop consciousness... Not every evolutionist has it."

She suppressed her pride, but made fun of the neighbors. "Great, our Yejing! Then why don't you evolve? Just walk down the mountain."

"Don't you want to be transported away after evolution," Yejing muttered, "it's not good to be displaced..."

If she were an evolutionist, she would be happier than now; But she didn't say a word to the children in the nursery that she could become an evolutionist.

Ad didn't know whether Ye Jing tried to change his job later, but when he left at the age of 14, the bedstead shelves in the nursing home cracked, and the cabinet with milk in the door had long disappeared. Even the management organization of Fanjia city changed twice; Yejing still lives in the nursery, welcomes new crying brothers and sisters, and sends away young girls who have grown up and can work by themselves.

Later, I thought that if she wanted to be transferred at first, it would be really simple: she just had to ignore the children in the nursery from the beginning.

No one will severely punish a young, strong and healthy female labor force for a child who doesn't know whether he can grow up or not.

In the years after ye de left the nursery, she never became a patrol and did not evolve. Her mouth was still as bad as it used to be; Miraculously, the woman who spoke so badly persuaded the later two management organizations to continue to allocate materials to the nursery - but there were only two.

"You have to choose a name. You can't always be Adelaide," Yejing would say when he went back to see her. "When he heard it, he thought it was the nursery out, and people would look down on you."

Ye de didn't mean to tell her that he used the name "Ye de" outside.

"What are you still doing in the nursery?" Ye de taught her instead. "The new Guihe refused to allocate funds to the nursery? No one forced you to continue to take care of children, and you can just do what you want."

Yejing seemed to be forty-seven that year. Generally speaking, evolutionists born in the 12th World, because they evolved early, are still as bright and plump as ordinary people in their twenties at this age; But she seems to have been soaked by years, labor and fatigue.

"I have nothing to do with my strength now," Yejing said with a smile, "I won't do anything except taking care of children."

Ye de took a close look at the current situation of the nursery.

Fortunately, 97 road is not close to the edge of the mountain, otherwise a wind can blow it into dust. There are no allocated materials, and no one comes to check the situation. All food, clothing, housing, transportation and education have to be decided by Yejing alone; But there are more and more children in the nursery, because people in fanjiacheng know that there is a nursery here, which can raise one by one those children who are unwilling to raise, crying in the way, and pestering for food.

When he was young, he didn't think so. After he became an adult, he found that raising a group of children was far more than sewing clothes, cooking and washing clothes.

Ye de had made up his mind when he left.

Later, for fourorfive months, he was busy trying to get a job, so he never went back to see her. After he got the job, he had been accumulating necessary supplies and didn't go back to see her until he had saved enough.

More than a year had passed by when he returned to the crumbling and dilapidated nursery on route 97.

Yejing sat quietly in a broken chair, her two long legs stretched into the sun, and her shabby and dirty pants were shown in the light. He knew that in those days, she enjoyed the sun, but now because she didn't enjoy the sun, her joints would hurt at night. A group of children screamed and ran in and out, making Ye De's head explode. He didn't know how Ye Jing turned a deaf ear.

Ye de squatted down beside her leg. Her eyes are still bright and powerful, but not so black and white; She is still lazy, because now she is easily tired.

This is the closest person he has to his mother.

Although she is unwilling to be put into this role, one plug is 20 years.

"Yejing," he said softly, quietly taking out a bottle from his backpack. In a flash, the liquid inside made a thump. "... do you still want to evolve? I finally got enough haze water."
