Nuan Ai Children's Welfare Home is located on the outskirts of Ninghai City.

Commercial vehicles are parked at the gate of the welfare home, and without prior notice, the welfare home will not open the door and let private vehicles enter.

Gong Yuan trotted to the guard on duty to register, and they walked into the welfare home.

The entire place where the welfare home is located is surrounded by the Huaxi River on three sides, naturally forming a small island. Half of the island was built as a children's hospital, and the remaining half became the building of the welfare home.

A concrete-paved avenue leads to the tallest building in the middle.

On both sides of the avenue, there is a large billboard basically every three steps. Billboards are invariably filled with photos of different people shaking hands with the dean or someone with a group of grinning children, accompanied by captions.

We would like to thank Mr. Chu Tiancheng for donating one million yuan to the Children's Education Fund. ’

We would like to thank Mr. Chu Zhengfeng for donating $800,000 to build infrastructure for the orphanage. ’

Mr. Chu Yang had dinner with the children. ’

Looking at these photos, Ye Wuwu asked curiously, "Why are they all surnamed Chu?"

Gong Yuan walked beside him and replied, "Commander Hui, although this welfare institute is nominally managed by relevant departments, it is actually funded by the Chu Foundation. ”

"Chu's Fund? Another family with a surname?"

"Yes, Commander. Among the five major families in Ninghai City, the Chu family's Chu Fund. ”

"It seems that this Chu family is different from other families. Such charities have also been established. ”

A group of three people, although they are communicating, but the pace is very fast.

According to this point in time, the children in the welfare home should have basic education in the Love Building at this time.

It's the building in front of them.

All the children are divided into several classes according to their age, and are led by special teachers in their classrooms to learn knowledge and do activities.

Everything seemed to be thriving and full of love.

In the hallway on the first floor, they asked about the volunteers who had come here today.

This volunteer is very enthusiastic, and in his opinion, these people in front of him must be caring people who have come to the welfare home to donate money or materials.

He admires these kind people!

Although Gong Yuan later said that they were just looking for a certain person, he still didn't dispel his thoughts.

One-to-one funding, all too common!

Especially in this Warm Love Children's Welfare Institute, this kind of person will appear every once in a while, and he will be generous.

He took Ye Wuwu and his party to the duty room and took out a roster. Carefully check the names on it.

"Ye Xiaorui!

"Found here!"

The volunteer put his finger on the name and pointed it to Ye Wuwu.

"Five-year-old, it should be on the third floor! You go up and ask, and I won't accompany you." ”

After Ye Wuwu said thank you, he came to the third floor.

asked the staff on the third floor, but was told that Ye Xiaorui was not here. Not only did he not come today, but he was often absent as usual.

What's going on?

Why is she so often absent?

Shouldn't a five-year-old learn as much as he can like any other child?

With all kinds of questions, Ye Wuwu hurriedly looked for one staff member after another.

From the love building to the rest area, from the rest area to the leadership office area.

When I finally went to the cafeteria, I was stopped by the dean who was in the office. and ordered them to wait in the duty room.

Ye Wuwu's anxious heart couldn't stand the wait, even though he was the dean, he didn't give any face.

The dean was very angry and called the security guard to expel Ye Wuwu and his party.

At this time!

Welfare home canteen.

A little girl, covered in dirt, indifferently rinses the cabbage needed for dinner with tap water.

She washed the leaves and threw them into the large iron basin at her feet.

After all the cleaning was done, I wiped my hands on my clothes at will, and walked into the kitchen with a large iron basin.

Although it was September, the tap water was not cold. But because of the long-term soaking, the whole hand is red, and the fingertips are no longer visible.

She's busy. And next to her sat a middle-aged woman in her forties, with a fat body, knocking on Erlang's leg and knocking melon seeds in her mouth.

"Ye Xiaorui! After washing this basket of cabbage, there is still a bag of potatoes waiting for you to peel, so the work is a little faster. ”

"You say, if you don't put on a stinky face all day long, how can you come to do such rough work?"

"You just can't remember how many times you've said it. When someone comes to the welfare home, you have to smile, and the uncles and aunts shout to be diligent, they are all rich people, shouting happy, and with a wave of their big hands, tens of thousands of tens of thousands of dollars will be donated. ”

"Since you can't make money, you can only work. ”

The middle-aged woman spit out the melon seed shell on the ground, and counted them vigorously.

On the other hand, Ye Xiaorui, whose five-year-old body is only half the height of a normal person, dragged a bag of potatoes heavier than herself to the corner, picked up a paring knife, and peeled the potato skin very skillfully.

She didn't say a word the whole time, and even the expression on her face didn't change in the slightest.

"Bang!" the glass door of the cafeteria was pushed open.

"Sir, you can't come here. The dean said, please wait in the duty room first. ”

One with four footsteps continued to walk inside, and it seemed that the security guard did not dissuade the group to stop.

When the middle-aged woman heard the movement outside, she quickly picked up the broom against the wall and swept the melon seed shells on the ground into a pile and covered them behind the broom.

At the same time, she hurriedly said, "Ye Xiaorui, you hurry up and hide inside." ”

"Why are you hiding?"

Ye Wuwu walked in and happened to hear the middle-aged woman's words.

At a glance, he saw the emaciated girl standing up with a paring knife.

In an instant, the monstrous anger was suppressed in his heart.

Is this my brother's daughter?

Is this his niece?

Ye Wuwu stared at her tightly, slowly walked in front of her, and slowly squatted down.

The whole atmosphere is eerie!

The security guard didn't say anything more, standing next to Gong Yuan and Dao Fei. The middle-aged woman panicked Ye Wuwu's question, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Ye Wuwu slowly stretched out his hand and grabbed it towards the girl's hand, he saw how vicissitudes and rough the hand holding the paring knife was.

The girl immediately put her hands behind her back, took a step back, and leaned against the wall with a wary expression.

Ye Wuwu hung his hands in the air and was stunned for a moment. He maintained this posture and looked up at Ye Xiaorui.

Joy, tenderness, and excitement are all reflected in the eyes at this moment.

"Your name is Ye Xiaorui, isn't it?"

He asked tremblingly, even if he had an answer, he still had to be sure.

The girl went from wariness to panic, and she took another step to her right, a little farther away.

"I don't know you. ”

She replied blandly. Even if he was afraid, he was stubbornly calm.

How can there be the innocence and liveliness that a five-year-old girl should have, even if she is shy, shouldn't she snort and cry?

However, what can be seen from Ye Xiaorui is too much vigilance and fear that she is unwilling to show.

She knew that the person in front of her was not malicious, and she was unwilling to answer his question.

'I don't know you', this answer is her subconscious to protect herself.

"Sir, if you're here, we won't be able to work at all. The middle-aged woman interjected inappropriately.

"Palm!"

Ye Wuwu skimmed his head and shouted coldly.

At first, he didn't blame this woman, but now he reminded him,

Gong Yuan immediately strode forward, grabbed the woman with one hand, and dragged her directly into the kitchen.

"What are you going to do?"

The middle-aged woman was caught by Gong Yuan, how could she break free, and she shouted and screamed at the top of her throat.

"Let go of Director Ma. The security guard also squeezed up and grabbed Gong Yuan's fingers.

"I warn you! ”

"Let go, are you trying to make trouble here?"

I don't know if there are other people in the kitchen, after the middle-aged woman was dragged in, in addition to the warning sound of the security guard, there was also the sound of 'ping-pong' pots and pans overturning. Then there was a slap of "pop!", and finally the heart-rending pain of a middle-aged woman.

"You're done, you're going to make trouble, aren't you? Wait!"

The security guard opened the door curtain, angrily pointed at Ye Wuwu and Dao Fei, and then ran out of the cafeteria.

"Hit someone!" the middle-aged woman shouted loudly.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

After that, there was no sound other than a slight cry.

"Don't be afraid!"

Ye Wuwu squatted and took a step forward, a little closer to Ye Xiaorui.

"I'm your uncle, look at me, don't I look like your father?" Ye Wuwu said in a small voice, pointing at himself.

"Uncle?"

Ye Xiaorui rubbed her hands unnaturally behind her.

"Yes, uncle!" Ye Wuwu smiled in surprise.

"But I don't remember what my dad looked like?"

Ye Wuwu, who was originally planning to go further, heard Ye Xiaorui's answer, and his movements instantly froze.

Even though he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word. He didn't know how to explain it now.

What a heart-wrenching answer!

Ye Wuwu trembled in guilt, Ye Xiaorui took another step to the right and took out a photo from his trouser pocket.

The photo shows a man in a military uniform and a man carrying a school bag hugging his shoulders.

It's just that the face of the person carrying the schoolbag has been rubbed so that only a blank is left.

Ye Wuwu remembered this photo, which was a photo with his younger brother when he first put on a military uniform when he enlisted in the army.

He stood up all of a sudden, pointing to the man in military uniform in the photo.

"This is me! Look closely, is it me?"

It may not be obvious enough.

"Fly the knife, quick, take off your clothes to me. ”

He threw his expensive suit on the ground, took the camouflage uniform handed over by Dao Fei, and put it on his body.

"Look, isn't it me? Do you think it's the same as in the picture?"

Too anxious to prove his identity, Ye Wuwu pointed to himself, stood in front of Ye Xiaorui, and kept repeating 'It's not like me'.

Ye Xiaorui looked at the photo for a while, and then said to Ye Wuwu, who was pointing at her face full of expectation, "Are you an uncle?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ye Wuwu's smile bloomed and he hugged Ye Xiaorui.

"I'm your uncle. ”

Ye Xiaorui didn't struggle anymore, let him hold on like this, and his vigilance and fear were nowhere to be found. She felt Ye Wuwu's trembling body, stroking her hair with her thick palm.

"Uncle, I'll take you away!"

"Uncle, I'll take you away!"

Just as Ye Wuwu was muttering to himself, the familiar voice of the security guard sounded again.

"Dean, the people are inside. ”

A series of footsteps rang out.

"I want to see who is not afraid of death and dares to come here to make trouble?"
