Chapter 889: Reunion with Relatives
Xiao Mingyue sat next to her, looking at her father, and she was also a little angry in her heart, she was not angry because of the orphanage, she was still a little ignorant about these, her main thing was that she was angry because Xiao Bing was angry, Xiao Mingyue's thoughts were very simple, those people made her father unhappy, then those people must be big villains, and they must be punished accordingly.

The sedan stopped outside the door of an orphanage.
Xiao Bing opened the car door and walked down first, and then Xiao Mingyue also followed, and the two of them looked up, but saw that it was a black iron gate, and above the gate there was a horizontal plaque, which said Changping Children's Welfare Institute.
Orphanages are generally called by the people, in fact, after the establishment of the orphanage in New China, it was named the Children's Welfare Institute, and it is basically led by the state department, and the corresponding funds will be provided for the daily expenses of the orphanage, but this children's welfare home is not organized by the state department, but founded by private businessmen, the founder is Zhang Jinlan's grandmother, usually Xiao Bing is called Aunt Jinlan, she should be over sixty years old now.
It is said that the Zhang family was originally a large family in Changping City, but in the chaotic era before the establishment of New China in the last century, horse thieves entered the city to burn and loot, and more than half of Zhang Jinlan's ancestral family died. The second uncle and the third uncle all died, leaving only his father's lineage, and then the Zhang family began to decline, Zhang Jinlan's grandmother believed in Buddhism at home, and suddenly one day sold all the assets of the family, founded this orphanage, and then changed its name to the Children's Welfare Institute after the establishment of New China, until today, so the children's welfare institute in Huaxia is basically the country's industry, but this children's welfare home is completely founded by the Zhang family, from Zhang Jinlan's grandmother, to her father, until Zhang Jinlan's generation, they have been trying to maintain this welfare home, and the operating funds are basically funded by some caring peopleAfter all, the Zhang family's family has spent almost all of them after so many years.
is such a Zhang family who has done good deeds for generations, if they are still persecuted by black-hearted developers and corrupt government officials, then is there still a conscience in this world?
Xiao Mingyue said, "Dad, you used to live in this courtyard?"
"Well, yes. Xiao Bing's tone was a little emotional, the plaque on it was dilapidated, the wall was dilapidated, and the high-rise buildings that could be seen when you raised your eyes looked dilapidated, but this yard is indeed very large, Changping City is a second-tier city, although it is not an inch of land, but such a large piece of land is worth a lot of money, it stands to reason that Zhang Jinlan has no need to support this welfare home, as long as the welfare home is disbanded and this place is sold, it is definitely enough for her to enjoy two generations comfortably, without worrying about eating and drinkingγ
But she didn't, because the welfare home was her life, and these lonely children were her family!
Xiao Bing took Xiao Mingyue's hand and walked over, patted the black iron gate of the welfare home hard, and at this time, from the guard room in the courtyard, a crippled man dressed in tatters suddenly walked out, this lame man had messy white hair, and his left leg was a little disabled, so he walked with a limp, and he was still on crutches.
This cripple looked like he was sixty years old, his face was wrinkled, his hair and beard were gray, and he was slightly hunchbacked, his eyes were originally very cloudy, but when he saw Xiao Bing, he bloomed brightly, and at the same time sped up a few steps, walked over, quickly opened the door, and then looked Xiao Bing up and down, and said with some emotion: "Little soldier, it's a little soldier, it's a little soldier, right?"
"It's me, it's me. Xiao Bing's heart was also a little excited, his nose was sour, and his tone was slightly choked.
Xiao Bing was very naughty when he was a child, and often fought, but every time the cripple always defended him, he has always treated him very well, even better than those aunts in the welfare home, Xiao Bing sometimes treats the cripple as a loving father, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, can you not be excited!
Xiao Bing's eyes were filled with tears, he hugged the cripple, and said: "Cripple, I haven't seen you for so many years, you are old, come with me this time, I'll go to support you for the elderly, you are so old, don't continue to guard the door here." β
The lame man patted Xiao Bing, laughed hoarsely and said, "Okay, good, good boy, the lame man accepted your filial piety, but no, the lame man is used to this place, he can't walk anymore, and he doesn't want to leave." Little soldier, after so many years, you are finally back. β
Xiao Bing said with tears in his eyes: "I should have come back to see you a long time ago, it was me who was wrong." β
"It's okay, it's okay, we all know that you are winning glory for the country, the person who took you away back then was the country, when I took you away, I once said that you will be a person from the special department of the state in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a chance to come back, you can come back in the lifetime of the lame, the lame man is happy enough, God treats me well enough!"
Xiao Bing said: "Cripple, do you really have to stay and refuse to go back with me?"
"No, no. The cripple was excited for a long time, and after hugging Xiao Bing, he saw Xiao Mingyue standing next to him and asked, "Xiao Bing, whose child is this?"
"This is my child. Her name is Xiao Mingyue. β
"Have you given birth to all your children?" The cripple was even more excited, bent down, and looked at Xiao Mingyue carefully, sometimes puzzled, sometimes admired, sometimes pleased, and finally touched Xiao Mingyue's head, and said with emotion, "Mingyue is not like you, but she is better looking than you." Hahahaha!"
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Cripple, are the aunts all there?"
"Alas, your eldest aunt and third aunt have both passed away. β
Xiao Bing was struck by lightning, when Xiao Bing was young, there were a total of seven women and one man in this welfare home, one man was lame, and the seven women took care of their children's daily life, these seven women were called aunts, second aunts, and third aunts by Xiao Bing and their children from childhood to adulthood...... And Dean Zhang Jinlan is the second oldest among them, and she is the second in age.
Xiao Bing still remembers that aunt is the strictest, but she also loves herself the most, if she is still alive now, she should be in her seventies, but she didn't expect to pass away.
The third aunt likes to knit some things the most on weekdays, and I remember knitting sweaters for myself in winter, but now she is gone.
Xiao Bing said with some excitement: "How could the third aunt pass away at such a young age?"
The cripple sighed and said, "She died last year, and she was just sixty years old, so she didn't die young." She had cancer, and when she was detected, it was already terminal, and no one could avoid it, so you don't have to be too sad. β
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Then I'll go see the other aunts." β
"Well, your fourth aunt was picked up by her children, and went to the provincial city to enjoy happiness, when the children came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave, and finally was persuaded by the dean for two days and two nights, and then left with her children, but several other people are here, taking care of those new children. β
As he spoke, the lame man took Xiao Bing to the door of the welfare home, then stopped, coughed twice, and said, "You go in, presumably they must be excited when they see you coming back, and the lame man will accompany you to have two drinks tonight." β
Xiao Bing asked, "How do you know I can drink?"
The lame man smiled hoarsely and said, "You stole the lame's wine when you were a child, did you quit drinking when you grew up?"
Xiao Bing sneered: "That's what I said." β
"Alright, you go in, I'll go back to duty, and I'll have two more drinks in the evening." β
Xiao Bing agreed, took Xiao Mingyue's hand, pushed open the door on the first floor, and walked in.
After entering the first floor, I saw several children running around in the hall, some still running up and down the stairs leading to the upper floor, and two children sitting in wheelchairs, looking at their friends with envy.
Among these children, some are lame, some are deaf, but a few are relatively healthy, and when they saw Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue coming in, these children all stopped, staring at Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue one by one.
At this time, a woman's voice came from upstairs, asking, "You children, why are you so quiet all of a sudden?"
A footstep came down from upstairs, Xiao Bing looked up, but saw a middle-aged beauty in a pink sweater nearly forty years old walking down from above, it can be seen from this woman's body, she must be a little beauty who is loved by everyone when she is younger, even now, she has the charm that can attract any man, her appearance is superior, and her temperament is gentle and playful only young girls should have.
After seeing Xiao Bing, this middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, "This gentleman, may I ask you, what is the reason why you came to our welfare home?"
Xiao Bing's lips trembled a little, and suddenly he saw his relatives who had been separated for more than ten years, how could Xiao Bing not be excited.
Seeing that Xiao Bing didn't say a word, just looked at her excitedly, the middle-aged beauty's brows furrowed, and she was a little puzzled in her heart, but she quickly looked Xiao Bing up and down, her eyes widened instantly, and she ran quickly in front of Xiao Bing, grabbed Xiao Bing's clothes, and said excitedly: "Are you a little soldier?
"It's me, it's me, auntie, I miss you so much....... "It turns out that this is the youngest of the seven sisters, and it is also the best-looking one, I remember that she only entered this welfare home when Xiao Bing was five years old, and it is also a voluntary work, purely because of her love for the children here, she was only eighteen years old at that time, it was when she was young, and the children had a good relationship with her, especially Xiao Bing, Xiao Bing was particularly naughty, but she liked it the most.
Back then, she was the one who doted on Xiao Bing the most, even if Xiao Bing usually liked to fight, she always said that Tao Boy was good, Tao Boy had a future and so on, every time the aunt severely punished Xiao Bing, it was this aunt who was defending Xiao Bing, so although she entered this welfare home when Xiao Bing was five years old, but in Xiao Bing's heart, her status was not inferior to other aunts.
"You stinky boy!" The middle-aged beautiful woman actually gave Xiao Bing a punch, almost crying, and then shouted loudly, "The little soldier is back, the little soldier is back." β
Soon, from upstairs, backstairs, and aisles...... Several footsteps hurried over, Xiao Bing's eyes widened, watching these relatives who he had been thinking about for a long time appear in front of his eyes one by one, the second aunt, the fifth aunt, the sixth aunt, plus the little aunt in front of him, Xiao Bing's eyes were red, and the tears finally couldn't stop dripping.
