Chapter 194: The Orphanage
Long........... Xia Yuan finally got out of my shoulder and said to me, "Qiao Yi sent me an email three days ago, and he said that he had found Xue'er..... After that, he told me to close the coffee shop first, and I still can't figure out why he asked me to close the coffee shop. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I looked at Xia Yuan in a daze, and said incredulously, "What did you say?" Did he find Lin Xue'er? ”
Xia Yuan nodded and said, "I wanted to ask for clarification, but I sent a lot of emails, and he didn't reply to me." ”
"Probably Qiao Yi doesn't want to come back so soon................ After all, for Lin Xue'er......... She's running out of time, I guess they should continue their trip.........."
Xia Yuan pursed her lips and said to me, "Luo Bing, since Qiao Yi and Lin Xue'er are gone, then we should continue to help the orphans in the old alley, right?" ”
"Of course, I knew you would say that to me."
"Shall we take a look tomorrow?"
"You don't have to go to work tomorrow, you're a busy man!"
"Let's go early tomorrow morning, and I'll rush over to a meeting at half past ten."
I smiled and said, "Are you going to buy a lot of toys or something as gifts for the kids?" ”
Xia Yuan said with great feeling: "Well, they don't need anything at this age, they need to be a happy childhood........."
Xia Yuan's words touched me deeply, and then I thought of the unhappiness of her childhood and the unexpected death of her father.......... I could feel the feeling in my heart at the moment, but I didn't know what words to use to comfort her, so I could only hug her tighter, hoping that I could give her more security.
The yard is no longer deserted, I am no longer lonely at this moment, at this moment I seem to hold the whole world, how I wish that time would always be frozen in this moment, just feel her breath until the earth is desolate................
The night was deeper, Xia Yuan was finally defeated by exhaustion, leaned on my shoulder and fell asleep, I carried her into the room, helped her cover the quilt, and then quietly closed the door.
Standing by her window, looking at Xia Yuan like a sleeping beauty, the unrest in her heart was slowly dissipating, and after a few cigarettes, I helped her close the window.
When I got back to the house, the courtyard wall had once again split my world in two, and I was restless and fell asleep again..............
......................
The next day, I was woken up early in the morning by Xia Yuan, who pushed me into the bathroom and hurriedly said to me, "Hurry up!" It's seven o'clock, and we have to go buy gifts. ”
I sat on the sink and dragged my chin to brush my teeth: "Chairman, it's only seven o'clock...... I can't even open my eyes......... Can't you go at eight o'clock? ”
Xia Yuan helped me prepare the clothes I was going to wear today like a wife, and replied: "It's time to change your habit of sleeping lazy, get up at noon every day, it's not okay to go on like this!" After that, we had to get up at seven o'clock and go for a morning jog together. ”
Thinking I had misheard, I poked my head out of my toothbrush and asked, "What do you say, get up at seven?" Morning jog? ”
"That's right!"
Chairman !!!!! If you let me go, it's good that I can get up at eight o'clock every day, and you still let me get up at seven o'clock, and you say that you want to go for a morning run, don't you want my life..........." I prayed.
Xia Yuan turned her head and frowned, "Are you going?" ”
Her cold voice scared me a little, and finally, I compromised her......... Alas..........
After washing up, we went to a street stall for some light breakfast before driving to the city centre for some shopping.
An hour and a half later, we rushed back to Jinsha Road from the city with large bags and small bags.
I wanted to drive to Beixi Road, but because the streets of Beixi Road were narrow and there was nowhere to park, Xia Yuan and I carried a large bag of toys and shuttled through the narrow alley.
After arriving at this old recycling depot-like courtyard, Xia Yuan's expression was obviously a little down, and I took her hand and gave her a comforting smile.
"Yikes! Is Sister Qingqing here!!! "A little girl who was no more than eight years old ran out of the dilapidated house, and when she saw me and Xia Yuan, her originally smiling face became a little vigilant.
"Uncle and aunt.......... You guys....... Who are you looking for..........."
I lowered my voice and said to her in a bad voice: "Of course we are here to find you, little sister, how about it, uncle will take you to play." ”
After hearing this, the little girl took two steps back in fear and replied weakly, "Uncle......... We don't know ............"
"It's okay, we'll get to know each other later, let's go with my uncle."
Xia Yuan glared at me fiercely, and said angrily: "You are just a child who will never grow up, boring." ”
I touched my head in embarrassment: "Hehe, just kidding, just kidding........."
After Xia Yuan left me, she walked next to the little girl and whispered to her, and sure enough, the little girl relaxed her vigilance and brought Xia Yuan into the house.
I smoked a cigarette in frustration, and waited for about twenty minutes before a little boy came out of the house, pulled at my trouser legs, and said to me, "Uncle, sister said you brought us a gift, give it to me." After saying that, he stretched out his little palm to me.
I gently patted his hand away and said, "Little brother, did you come out to ask me for a gift?" Uncle, I didn't ask me to come in for a cup of tea after standing at the door for so long, it's rude. ”
"Sister Qingqing said that bad people are not allowed to enter the house............"
"Rub, do you think uncle and I look like a bad person?"
The little boy nodded weakly.
Me: "................."
After some 'verbal exchange', the little boy finally took me to the back room.
I couldn't help but sigh at this scene in front of me, only to see a room less than 50 square meters, with wooden benches of different sizes but neatly arranged, this is probably the 'dormitory' of these eleven children.
Xia Yuan is squatting on the ground at the moment to distribute toys to the children, I think: Even the most hard-hearted people will have an inexplicable sentimentality when they see this scene in front of them.
"You ............. You .........." was the little girl who applied for the job yesterday.
She came in from the door carrying a big bag of steamed buns and soy milk, and looked at Xia Yuan and me with an incredulous expression.
I smiled and said to her, "Sister Qingqing, are you bringing me breakfast to eat, yo, it's so rich, then I'm welcome." ”
"Why are you here................"
"It's rude, call Brother Bing!"
"Brother Bing, why are you here with Sister Xia Yuan.............
"Can't we come?" I asked rhetorically.
"It's not.............. It's just a little too sudden.............." Gu Qingqing explained.
