Chapter 59: The Childhood of a Philanthropist
The young man brought a stool for Lu Li to sit on, it was a long wooden stool, full of greasy and shiny, and there were traces of kitchen knives on the stool, and there were vegetable juices and leaves.
This stool is not only used for sitting, but also used as a cutting board, in addition to the traces left by cutting vegetables, there are also blood stains from chopping bones, Zhang Xu smiled awkwardly, and gave the stool to Lu Li to sit.
Lu Li put the stool next to the good eldest sister, she was old, her health was not good, and she struggled to stand.
Helping the eldest sister to sit down, Lu Li moved a brick and sat aside.
"Good eldest sister, we are from Dongzhou City. ”
Lu Li made up a nonsense, saying that he was the CEO of Tianliang Daily Chemical in Dongzhou City, and while running the company, he also organized a charitable foundation dedicated to helping abandoned orphans.
Lu Li made a look, Zhang Xu on the side immediately stepped forward, and when they came just now, the two discussed, Lu Li was the boss, and Zhang Xu was his personal secretary.
Zhang Xu took out a bank card from his delicate bag and handed it to Lu Li, Lu Li took it, got up and handed it to the good eldest sister with both hands.
"Good eldest sister, there are three million in this, which represents a little bit of my care for our orphanage. ”
The good eldest sister stretched out her trembling, dry twig pair to take the bank card, and two lines of tears flowed from her cloudy eyes.
Three million is nothing to the rich, but to her poor orphanage, it is a huge amount of money, with which the sick children in the house can be effectively treated, and they will not have to be tormented by the disease for a long time.
The good eldest sister was grateful to Dade, and the young man didn't like to talk much, so he just bowed and thanked him vigorously.
Lu Li waved his hand, although he spent this money to give love, it was not really overflowing with love, he still had his own plan.
As soon as the conversation changed, Lu Li mentioned his life experience.
More than 20 years ago, my parents took my younger brother and I from the countryside to Dongzhou City to earn a living, because my parents had no skills and could only work as coolies.
That day, my parents went out to work, and I was responsible for taking care of my younger brother at home, and when it was almost noon, my younger brother started crying and insisted on eating ice cream, no matter how much I coaxed, my younger brother just wouldn't listen.
In desperation, I had no choice but to take him out of the house and buy ice cream at the small supermarket on the street.
I bought ice cream, I walked back with my brother, and I happened to see a monkey, I was young and ignorant, greedy for fun, and I couldn't move my feet when I saw a monkey, so I pulled my brother to stand aside and watched, and when the monkey was over, I found that my brother was gone.
At that time, I panicked, so I searched for my brother all over the street, and I didn't look for him until dark.
More than 20 years later, I am still immersed in the pain of losing my brother, who I don't know if he was abducted by traffickers or sent to an orphanage after being lost.
I have been looking for him all these years, in order to find him, I worked hard to make money, and then donated the money I earned to the orphanage, the impoverished mountainous area, hoping to find the clues of my younger brother in the process.
Lu Li's application was full of tears, the good eldest sister and the young man cried when they heard it, and even Zhang Xu couldn't help but blush and sour his nose when he knew that it was fake.
Lu Li wiped the corners of his eyes and took out an old photo from his arms, which showed an eight-year-old boy, chubby and cute.
The young man hurriedly took out reading glasses from the house, and the eldest sister took the reading glasses and took the photo to look at it carefully.
"This photo ......"
The eldest sister is old, her memory is not very good, and she has been looking at the photos for a long time, and finally found the corresponding appearance in those fragmented memories.
"Xiao Shuai, go to the house and take out the photo album. ”
Xiao Shuai was the young man, he hurriedly ran back to the house, rummaged through the cabinets for a while, and then came out with a shabby photo album.
The good eldest sister flipped through the album and took out an equally old photo from it.
The photo is a boy, wearing a dirty green cloth coat, and the eyebrows are very similar to the photo Lu Li took out, but the boy in Lu Li's photo is fatter and more energetic.
Seeing the two photos, Lu Li suddenly lost his temper, snatched it, his hands trembled, and tears rolled down his eyes, as if he had really found his long-lost brother, Zhang Xu on the side secretly gave a thumbs up, this acting is really no one, it is really a shame not to award you an Oscar.
"Brother, it's really my brother, good big sister, where is he?"
The good eldest sister spoke eloquently, but Lu Li couldn't understand it, but fortunately, there was Xiaoshuai next to her as a translator.
The boy in the photo is He Sanpao, who picked it up at the train station more than 20 years ago, left the orphanage at the age of sixteen, and didn't mix well outside, but He Sanpao would come back every festival to visit his eldest sister, and he has insisted on it until now.
A few days ago, He Sanpao suddenly remitted 200,000 yuan to the eldest sister, and called to say that this was his wife's book, and asked the eldest sister to keep it, and if he had any accidents, let the eldest sister deal with the money, buy medicine for the younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, and add some winter clothes.
It turned out that He Sanpao had a premonition that they had stolen the company's prescription, and the employer would never let them go easily.
Lu Li asked, "Hasn't He Sanpao come back until now?"
The good eldest sister shook her head, with sincerity on an old face, since the last time she made a phone call for remittance, He Sanpao has not even sent a message to the good eldest sister, and now calling He Sanpao is also out of shutdown.
Lu Li's heart sank, He Sanpao didn't come back, and the clue was broken again.
Leaving his phone number, Lu Li chatted with the eldest sister a few more words, saying that he would come over to see her when he was free, and left with another two million.
Xiao Shuai sent the three out of the orphanage, watched them get into the car and leave, and did not turn to leave until they disappeared at the end of the road.
In the off-road vehicle, the three of them were silent, drove to a place where the orphanage could not be seen, and Lu Li braked and parked the off-road vehicle on the side of the road.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xu asked strangely.
Lu Li turned around and said: "Brother Xu, you and Dali drive to Jinning City to check the Oncology Department of the Municipal People's Hospital, if there is a female patient surnamed Hao, who is in her sixties." ”
Zhang Xu didn't know why, and asked, "Why is this?"
Lu Li smiled, but didn't answer directly, he bought a pass and said, "Brother Xu, when you look for it, you'll know why." ”
With a daze, Zhang Xu and Yang Dali drove away, Lu Li tightened his collar and walked back on foot.
Lu Li did not go back to the orphanage directly, but sat down in a barren grass a hundred meters away from the orphanage, he had to wait, wait for it to get dark, wait for Zhang Xu to come to confirm the news.
