Chapter 61: I'm Grateful
Early in the morning, half past six.
Xu Ran got up early in the morning and was about to go out to exercise and run two laps, but there was a knock on the warehouse door.
After opening the door, Wei Qingsheng, who was dressed in formal clothes, took the lead in getting in, and Ge Jinhui and Lyerman behind him got off the station and stood in front of the luxury car, looking at the environment here.
"Xiao Ran, why did you start a thrift business now?"
Xu Ran said: "The quantum physics major in my university may seem quite a high-level and cutting-edge discipline to outsiders, but in fact, we know best what the situation is.
Nine of my classmates have now changed careers to do other things, even if they continue to study in graduate school, there are only a few, and some experimental research projects in this major are very expensive, no one invests, it can only be a flash in the pan, with my conditions, changing careers is also inevitable......"
After turning around, looking at the many refurbished old goods stored in the warehouse, Wei Qingsheng said: "Or don't do the old goods business, with your ability, it is better to be a manager and director in our company or something!"
Xu Ran rejected Wei Qingsheng's kindness and said: "Although choosing this line of work is also for the sake of making a living, but since you have made a choice, even if this industry is despised, it is nothing more than a flexible way of thinking that is different from the logical thinking of looking at the essence of things, I believe that it can also become bigger and stronger!"
Since the brothers have their own insistence, Wei Qingsheng no longer insists on it.
Xu Ran went to wash up and changed clothes, and after her aunt's phone call came at the right time, asking when it would be over.
Without delay, Xu Ran cleaned up and took Wei Qingsheng out of the door.
Although he explained not to bring gifts, seeing the large bags and small bags that Lyerman and Ge Jinhui mentioned, as well as some things bought for the children in the orphanage, it is not strange that many people are called gifts, and Xu Ran didn't say anything.
The orphanage is only 500 meters away from the warehouse, and several people walked there.
When he entered the small courtyard of the flat tile house, Wei Qingsheng stood in the courtyard and looked at the familiar furnishings, and couldn't help but think of the youth he had spent here, full of nostalgia.
There was a familiar smell of broth dumplings wafting in the small courtyard, and the movement of several people entering the courtyard alarmed the aunt who was making soup dumplings, so the aunt went out.
When Wei Qingsheng saw Ying Ma standing at the door with a loving face and a smile looking at him, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, his throat was a little choked, and he stepped forward and said, "Ying Mom!"
"It's good to be back!"
Then he smiled and stroked Wei Zi's head, patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's long and strong, and the person is very energetic, and he didn't wronged himself outside, so it's ......."
As she spoke, my aunt turned around and saw Lyerman and Ge Jinhui, and couldn't help but say, "Wei Zi, who are these two?"
After Wei Qingsheng secretly wiped away the tears in his eyes, he pulled Lyerman over and said, "Ying Mom, this is my foreign daughter-in-law Lyerman, although she is of mixed Chinese and Indian descent, she looks like a foreigner mostly!"
After that, Wei Qingsheng said to Lyerman: "This is our Ying mother, call someone quickly!"
Lyleman had already heard Wei Qingsheng's explanation, and he would bring himself back to see his relatives, Lyleman was still very happy, so he saluted his aunt with a grand courtesy, and called sweetly: "Hello Ying Mom!"
"Good, good, pretty girl!"
My aunt was also smiling when she looked at Lyleman, and she was very happy.
After Ge Jinhui came over and took the initiative to greet his aunt politely, his aunt immediately let everyone into the house and began to get busy.
The broth dumplings made by my aunt have always been the most nostalgic delicacy in the hearts of the three brothers.
After Wei Qingsheng entered the house, he was already hungry just by smelling the aroma.
Xu Ran stole a few in the past, and one of them gave one to taste first, but Wei Zi ate a mouth full of fragrance and almost bit his tongue.
Lyerman and Ge Jinhui also tasted it, and it was very delicious.
"Xiao Ran, since Wei Zi is back, I still have to make some for the other children, you take Wei Zi and them to see Grandma Yalin first, and then come over for breakfast with Grandma Yalin later......"
"Good!"
After Xu Ran got up, he and Wei Qingsheng took the gifts they had bought for Grandma Yalin and the other children, passed through the gate between the small courtyard and the orphanage, and came to the small bungalow where Grandma Yalin lived on the right side of the church.
Grandma Arlene is a Jewish elderly, now 97 years old, her body is still very strong, and she will continue to exercise every day.
She was not in the house, nor did she go out to exercise, but went to the stove room to worry about the children's breakfast with Grandma Liu.
Xu Ran took Wei Qingsheng and Lyerman to the vicinity of the stove room, and saw Grandma Yalin coming out of the canteen next door with an empty plate, so she stepped forward with a smile and took the empty plate and said, "Grandma Yalin, who do you see coming back?"
Grandma Yalin smiled, and when he saw Wei Zi, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he opened his arms and said, "Oh, my child, Wei Zi, are you back?"
Wei Qingsheng suddenly looked like a returning milk swallow, rushed forward and hugged Grandma Yalin, and couldn't hold back his tears: "Grandma Yalin, I miss you very much!"
Although Grandma Yalin has lived in Xia Cheng for sixty years, she still has some European habits, and she is not as subtle in expressing her emotions as the Chinese, so Wei Qingsheng is also very direct.
"I miss you very much, my child, it's good that you can come back, I'm so happy!"
"Grandma Yalin, I'm sorry, I disappointed you and Ying Ma before......"
After hugging Wei Qingsheng, Grandma Yalin wiped away her tears for him and said, "My child, you are now an adult, no matter what you have done in the past, even if you have made mistakes, you are our child, we will not blame you, don't think too much about the past, just come back......"
Subsequently, Wei Qingsheng introduced Lyleman to Grandma Yalin, and the old man's smile was always on his face, which was very happy.
In fact, the orphans raised by Grandma Arlene, whether rich or poor, would be very happy if anyone came back to visit her.
It's just that the orphans who are too old and have been admitted to the orphanage since the three brothers have been admitted one after another, Grandma Yalin no longer has much energy and time to take care of them, and most of them are taken care of by volunteers who volunteered to help in the orphanage.
Therefore, the three brothers Xu Ran, Qiangzi and Wei Zi are the last batch of normal children without congenital defects raised by Grandma Yalin, so Grandma Yalin has the most emotions on their three brothers.
……
Wei Qingsheng chatted with Grandma Yalin, Xu Ran went to the stove room to help Grandma Liu bring breakfast to the canteen, and the children from the orphanage also came over one after another.
Under the leadership of the two volunteer aunts this week, the children came to the canteen hand in hand to say hello to Grandma Yalin and Xu Ran, and then went into the canteen to sit in rows.
During this period, Xu Ran went home, brought more than half of the broth buns made by his aunt, distributed them to the children with the volunteer aunt, and Ge Jinhui, who took the initiative to help, and guided them to start eating.
When the children finished eating, Wei Qingsheng and Lyleman distributed the gifts they had brought to each child, and the children who could talk thanked them.
Although the mentally handicapped and deaf-mute children could not express themselves verbally, it was clear from their eye movements that the children were very happy.
Afterwards, Xu Ran asked Wei Qingsheng to take Lyleman and them home for breakfast first.
He and Grandma Yalin walked behind alone, and Xu Ran handed over Wei Qingsheng's check, as well as the 570,000 charity auctions he had sold in his online store this month, and the 430,000 yuan he funded out of his own pocket to make up a bank card of 1 million.
Grandma Yalin was extremely surprised when she saw the check and heard Xu Ran say that there were one million small handicrafts sold for charity: "Xiao Ran, how can there be so much money in the charity sale, and who donated the 500,000 check?"
"Grandma Yalin, this month, there is a 'well-wisher' who has swiped more than 10,000 orders on those charity lots, so there are so many, and the other 500,000 is the clean money that Wei Zi has earned from working over the years, and it is used to honor you for the elderly, so you can accept it with peace of mind.
Now that I have money in the hospital, I can hire a few better doctors to give regular physical examinations to the children, as well as auxiliary treatment for some children who are disabled due to accidents, and they should have hope of recovery, and after a while, I also plan to invest in rebuilding the orphanage......"
Grandma Yalin has always trusted Xu Ran very much, and she won't doubt it when she hears him say this, so she can't help but nod with relief: "Xiao Ran, you are really still the best child I love the most, I am very pleased that you have done this for the orphanage!"
