Chapter 117: The Orphanage
On the outskirts of h2>NH is a small two-story red brick building in the shape of an H with a three-meter-high fence on the outside. At the foot of the fence there were a few feet of weeds growing up, making the small building look much more desolate. Bai Tang judged that the small building should have been built in the seventies, at that time the people were very sincere, the building was very strong, although the appearance looks old, but if there is a sudden earthquake in NH, other high-rise buildings collapse, this small building will also stand strong.
Walking into the small building, Bai Tang saw the red iron door embedded in the wall. The iron gate was also old and covered with rust. However, the sign on the wall on one side of the gate is shiny, as if it is new, and I think someone wipes it every day to make the door number as new. Black on a white background, five fist-sized words fell into Bai Tang's eyes: Dehua Orphanage.
Bai Tang walked to the small door on the side of the gate and knocked on the door, with a lot of strength in his hand, knocking on the iron door with a bang. Bai Tang remembered Sun Senwen's words, Uncle Liu, who was guarding the door, was old, his ears were a little back, and he needed to knock on the door vigorously before Uncle Liu could hear it. A situation like Uncle Liu is not qualified for the job of guarding the door at all, but the conditions of the orphanage are too bad to pay the wages of new employees. In fact, except for Uncle Liu, the orphanage, from the director to the aunt who cooks, are all elderly people, they have worked in the orphanage all their lives, and they are very affectionate to the orphanage and the children in the orphanage, so they will stay in the orphanage to take care of the children regardless of salary. There were also newcomers who came to the orphanage with enthusiasm, but unfortunately it didn't take long for these young people to leave the orphanage because they couldn't endure hardship.
"Who?" After more than two minutes, a hoarse inquiry came from inside the door.
Bai Tang opened his mouth and said in a loud voice: "Is it Uncle Liu?" Hello, I'm going back to the orphanage to visit you and the children on behalf of a friend. ”
With a "squeak", the small door opened from the inside, and an old man over sixty years old appeared in front of Bai Tang. The old man was dressed in a patched blue cloth shirt, his black and yellow face was covered with folds, and his hands were full of calluses. Bai Tang immediately remembered the image of the old farmer in a TV series "Old Farmer" he had just watched. Although this old man is not a farmer, he is also a simple and hardworking old man worthy of respect.
"Uncle Liu!" Bai Tang called politely. After listening to Sun Senwen's description of the orphanage, she has a respectful heart for the employees in the orphanage, and the actions of these people deserve her respect.
"Girl, you went out of our orphanage? How come I haven't seen you? Uncle Liu looked Bai Tang up and down suspiciously.
Bai Tang pursed his lips and smiled: "Uncle Liu, I didn't go out of the orphanage. I'm coming back to see you on behalf of a friend, my friend's name is Sun Sangwen, do you have any impression? ”
Bai Tang looked for Sun Sangwen before leaving the future world, and bluntly said that he had found a way to travel back to the 21st century, but the method could only be used once, and he couldn't go back to the future world after returning to the 21st century, and asked Sun Senwen if he wanted to come back together. Sun Senwen naturally refused, Bai Tang asked Sun Sangwen again if he wanted her to help, and Sun Sangwen asked Bai Tang to go to the orphanage to visit the director Uncle Liu and the children. Sun Sangwen gave Bai Tang two gene enhancers in exchange for 5 million RMB in the 21st century, and asked Bai Tang to help him donate to the orphanage, so that the orphanage staff and children can live a better life. Sun Sangwen then revealed his real name in his previous life to Bai Tang, and he was also called Sun Sangwen, he thought that this name had become a part of his memory, but he didn't expect that after going around for thirty years, he would regain this name again. Fate?
"Sun Sangwen?" Uncle Liu thought about it for a long time, and only then did he remember Sun Sangwen's appearance under Bai Tang's reminder, "Are you his friend?" Come on in, and I'll take you to the dean. ”
The front yard is relatively large, and the vegetable fields are cultivated one by one, and vegetables and fruits such as oilseed lettuce, lettuce, potatoes, lentils, and eggplant are grown. The flowers of the eggplant are small, white; The flowers of lentils are more colorful, yellow, purple, and brown...... Swinging in the wind, like a beautiful canvas.
Seeing Bai Tang's eyes fall on the vegetable field, Uncle Liu explained to her: "The conditions in our yard are not very good, so I can grow vegetables by myself, and I can also save some money to buy stationery for the children." Anyway, we have empty land here, and if we don't use it, it will be wasted. ”
"That's a good move!" Bai Tang praised. No wonder Sun Senwen said that he was not hungry when he was a child, but he was still stunted, and he only ate vegetarian food without meat, so how could he keep up with nutrition. It's just that the orphanage is located in a remote area, and it is difficult for well-wishers to get here, and without donations, the operating expenses of the orphanage only rely on state allocation, but that little allocation can only support the basic operation of the orphanage, and when there are more and more children in the yard, the money is not enough. The director also applied to the higher authorities for an increase in the amount, but there are many welfare institutions in the state, and it is impossible to increase the amount of funds for Dehua Orphanage alone, but if the funding is increased in full, the amount will be large. As a result, the matter of increasing the appropriation has been delayed. Until four years after Sun Sangwen's crossing, the matter of appropriation has not been resolved.
"Are you a friend of Sanwen's child? Is he okay? "The dean is an old mother in her fifties, her hair is half white, and her demeanor is kind, which makes people feel kind from the heart.
"He's good! However, because I was out of the country due to work, I couldn't come back to see you, so I was asked to come in his place. Bai Tang glanced around the dean's office, the office furniture inside was very old, and the sofa was not even elastic.
The dean put the brewed tea in front of Bai Tang, pulled a chair and sat opposite Bai Tang: "Sang Wen's child is the most promising one in our yard, he was admitted to the university, and the tuition fee did not let the courtyard pay a penny, but sent money back every month, although the amount is not much, but it can improve the food of the younger brothers and sisters for one or two meals." Later, the child sent back more and more money every month after work, and more and more children could be helped, but just four years ago, the child suddenly lost news, which really worried us, for fear that something would happen to the child. Now that I hear you say that he is out of the country, I am also relieved. ”
The dean's speech was neither fast nor slow, his tone was soft, and when he talked about Sun Sangwen, it was like telling his own son, so that people could clearly feel the mother's heart.
"The country where Sun Senwen is stationed is a relatively backward country, and it is not very convenient to communicate." Bai Tang lied, took out two checks and handed them to the dean, "This 10 million is what Sun Senwen asked me to transfer to you, please earn!" ”
Bai Tang paid five million for himself, in the name of Sun Senwen.
"Ten million?" The dean was taken aback, and his calm expression couldn't hold back, "Where did Senwen get so much money?" He wouldn't have done anything illegal, would he? ”
Bai Tang hurriedly comforted the dean: "Dean's mother, don't worry, Sun Senwen has not done anything illegal, and he has earned all this money by his own skills." You have to believe in his abilities! ”
"Really? You didn't lie to me! The dean asked hesitantly, not that she didn't believe the child she had raised, but the amount was too big, and she couldn't believe it. Ten million! It was a huge amount of money for her and for the orphanage, with which the small building could be repaired, or the roof would always drip when it rained; The children are able to eat meat every day, and their nutrition can keep up; The children's tuition fees have fallen, and they will not go out to work in the society to earn money after finishing junior high school, wasting their talent for reading; You can buy a few more computers and connect to the network, in today's society, computers and the Internet are the mainstream, and children who don't understand computers and the Internet will be ridiculed and eliminated by the society; Employees can be given a salary increase, for decades, everyone has never paid regardless of remuneration, and they should be compensated accordingly; By the way, we have to recruit a few more young employees, who are old and have limited energy, and will be negligent in taking care of the children......
The dean thought a lot, and after Bai Tang confirmed and affirmed that there was no problem with the origin of the money, the dean carefully put away the two checks.
"Thank you, girl!" The dean is both grateful and appreciative to Bai Tang, 10 million is such a large amount, and the girl in front of her is so unmoved to send it over, which shows that her character is very good - the dean's mother, the person in front of you is a local tyrant, 10 million is a small case for others, of course it will not be coveted, it is not a matter of character.
"Hands up!" Bai Tang smiled.
"Dean's mother, Dean's mother!" Hearing the shouts downstairs, the dean confessed to Bai Tang, walked to the window, and asked loudly, "Sanming, what happened?" ”
Bai Tang followed the dean to the window. The window of the director's office faces the back yard, which is only one-third the size of the front yard, and against the fence there are game facilities such as single parallel bars, seesaws, and a ping-pong table.
"Mother Dean, Brother Dashan caught three big fish, shall we drink fish soup tonight?" Downstairs was a little more than six years old boy, black and thin but very energetic, shouting and swallowing saliva greedily.
"Good!" The dean's mother smiled and agreed, "You go and tell Mother Zhang, let her buy another five catties of pork and make braised pork for everyone to eat!" ”
The little boy cheered and ran to find Zhang's mother, who was in charge of the kitchen.
The dean turned to Bai Tang and said, "The children can only eat meat once a week, and they are all hungry. ”
Bai Tang smiled: "Now it's okay, with Sun Sangwen's money, the children can eat meat every day." ”
The dean also smiled: "Yes, thanks to Sang Wen, this kid!" When the children are older, let them go abroad in person to thank their brother Sangwen! ”
Bai Tang twitched the corners of his mouth, even if the children in the orphanage went abroad, they couldn't find Sun Sangwen, but they had traveled to the future world! R1152
