Chapter 1715 Network of Relationships


    According to public information, Master Solan''s mother passed away after she got married. The couple did not live with her mother, but they often went back to visit her, especially in the last stage of Solan''s mother''s life. Solan always stayed with her. She doesn''t seem to be emotionless around her, which is enough to be praised as a filial daughter in District 019.


    District 019 has survey data specifically focusing on the cultural traditions and emotional sustenance of the people in this district. Because of the long life span and the convenience of having children, and the government is almost entirely responsible for raising and educating children, the kinship relationship is not as close as in other districts.


    The popularization of holographic projections can allow people living in different places to face each other. Some replacement robots can also simulate the body temperature and behavior of living people. Even if they really want to meet, aircraft are very convenient. In other words, more machines will replace them. It requires direct contact between people, and the people in District 019 will not force it in this regard, so Solan''s behavior is considered rare.


    "Little Solan''s mother is a selfish woman," the old lady said: "After her husband died unexpectedly, she moved here with little Solan. She was immersed in the pain of losing her husband and often couldn''t take care of little Solan. , when little Solan was having trouble running, he would go out to buy food by himself, and sometimes he would have to take care of her. "


    “When little Solan is older, that woman will be picked up by other men, and he will only come back to see her every once in a while.”


    "If she could live a good life after remarrying and set a good example for her children, I wouldn''t say anything about her. I didn''t expect that woman to not forget her dead husband after remarrying. She even refused to take evolution agents and completely ignored little Solan. He died early, leaving her without a father and a mother."


    “She can either live well, take care of her children, and live her own life, or she can die when her husband dies. Living like a zombie will only cause pain to others!”


    “People as courageous and transparent as you are always in the minority,” Xu Huo said: “You and Master Suolan are the same type of person, but Master Suolan’s mother is another type.”


    ??The old lady looked down on Solan''s mother very much and thought that Solan had no need to take care of her. In addition, she also thought that Solan didn''t have much affection for her mother.


    Xu Huo did not refute this. It was difficult to trace the specific situation. He could only piece together a true image of Solan in his childhood and adolescence from the few words of these neighbors.


    However, the old lady suddenly took his hand and said, "Not everyone who is born is destined to have a relationship with their parents. If parents are not good to their children, their children do not have to put too much hope in it. People can only carry their own lives and put their hopes aside." It’s not good to live a life entirely dependent on others, even your parents.”


    Xu Huo smiled and held her hand, "I am very satisfied with my relationship with my parents at the moment."


    "That''s good, that''s good." The old lady leaned on the chair again, took her glasses from the side and put them on, "Who did you just say has been to Tintin Flower Town?"


    ? Xu Huo handed her the names he found on the message terminal. The old lady had a pretty good memory. She had names and photos and could say a word or two about almost everyone.


    In her childhood, Master Solan liked to run around and play with her friends, and she had unlimited energy. At this time, there were not many children around the same age as her. There were only a few who lived in Dingdinghua Town, and the others came here with the elders of the family. Stay for a while.


    ??The four people the old lady mentioned before are considered to have a good relationship with Solan. The others either haven''t been together for a long time or have little contact with Solan due to personality issues.


    As for people who only appeared in the town during their teenage years, they had relatively few interactions with Solan, because the children were older at this time and it was not as easy to make friends as they were when they were young.


    "There are also children who have pursued little Solan." The old lady named a few people, "But little Solan doesn''t particularly like them and doesn''t play with them." "These two even fought." The old lady One of the two people pointed out was Solan''s childhood playmate and was the same age as Solan.


    ??Two of Solan''s friends since childhood were girls, and Xu Huo also inquired about their family relationships.


    “Both the parents of the two little girls died unexpectedly due to the mine collapse. They came to live with their grandparents. When they grew up, they were picked up by relatives at home to continue their studies.”


    “One of Laiguang and Xixi’s parents was injured in an accident and needed to be hospitalized for a long time. Their parents couldn’t take care of them, so they sent them to Dingdinghua Town.”


    "People who can play with Master Solan should also have good personalities." Xu Huo said. These four people died too early and followed Solan in and out of Dingdinghua Town. There is naturally no information about them. many.


    The old lady was a kind elder. She nodded and said: "The little girls are just like little Solan. They are very courageous and dare to sneak into the mountains to dig out bird eggs without the company of robots. The two boys are very quiet, especially Lai. Guang, when little Solan and the others were having fun, he was already able to make up his own stories, and the short stories he wrote were decent, and they could even play house games together. "


    She paused here and deliberately said to Xu Huo: "There is no ''Ember'' in the story they played."


    Xu Huo couldn''t help but laugh, "You say it, I''ll listen."


    The old lady told some stories written by Lai Guang. Some of them were about people who died in the mines. Some were about happy families, praising their spirits, and some imagining that they went to live in a better place after death. Thinking of other higher wormhole points as the home of the soul, the story I wrote later revolved around a few friends, of which Solan played a very important role.


    “Lai Guang likes Master Suolan very much.” Xu Huo interjected.


    "There are many people who like little Solan." The old lady didn''t think it was a relationship between men and women, but she was attracted by the inherent charm of outstanding people.


    Xu Huo thought for a while and asked: "Master Solan''s mother has not fulfilled her responsibilities. Then who took care of her until how old she was?"


    It is human nature to pity the weak, let alone a lovable child.


    "She often went to her neighbors'' houses. There used to be a blind woman living near her house. She came here to recuperate because she was not in good health. After she recovered, she did not move away. She often bought food for little Solan and the children in the town. Just for fun, she coaxed the children to call her grandma." The old lady sighed, "I heard that all her family members died in accidents. She survived with great difficulty, and even lost one eye and had one leg amputated. ”


    “Another mining accident?” Xu Huo raised his eyebrows.


    "Although she doesn''t want to say more, it''s probably not the case." The old lady thought carefully, "I have seen government workers come to replace her prosthetic limbs. Generally, people who have accidents in mines are taken care of by the Welfare Bureau, which is independent. Outside government agencies."
