Chapter 282: The Orphanage (Part I)
Early in the morning, when I walked down the stairs, the hall was already full of people, in addition to the four fat boys, Mu Keren and Lin Mengxing were also one of them, and even Qingxuan, who was angry and walked away in anger, was also impressive, but Qingxuan at this moment still had a cold face, and after seeing me appear, he deliberately turned his head to talk to Mengxing next to him, it seems that my words hurt her deeply that day.
"Morning, boss!" Today's Zhao Gang and the four of them seem very excited, I really don't understand why they are so excited just to go to the orphanage where I stayed when I was a child?
"Good morning, everyone!" I politely said hello one by one, but when I greeted Qingxuan, the other party ignored me, and lightly raised the invitation letter in his hand and said, "Because I also donated a lot of money, the dean specially wrote me an invitation letter." At this, the girl looked very proud.
Dizzy, woman, it's really an animal that can't be offended, although everything I do is for her good, but unfortunately most women are more emotional than rational. No matter how smart she is, she sometimes gets into the nitty-gritty.
I didn't want to be bored anymore, so I turned to Mu Keren and said, "Ah Ren, are you ready?" Can we go? ”
"Well, everything is ready and waiting for you." After speaking, he handed me a letter and said, "The dean has received the money you donated, this is a letter of thanks from him for asking me to bring you, and this is a VIP medal, you will be treated as a VIP in the orphanage." ”
After receiving the VIP medal, I was a burst of emotion, I really couldn't imagine that I was in the orphanage, and one day I would take this VIP medal with the highest honor in the orphanage, thinking about the future, it was like a dream.
After carefully putting away the micro chapter, I said lightly, "Let's go." With that, I turned and walked to the door.
Without saying a word all the way, relying on advanced transportation, we rushed to the orphanage before the celebration as promised, looking at the place as in the past. Although I am not an angry person, I still seem very excited at the moment, more than ten years ago, I walked out of here, I never imagined that I would be able to walk back again in my lifetime, and it can be regarded as a return to my hometown.
"Boss, this is where you spent as a kid? The environment is very good, although the place is a little remote, but it is quiet, and the surrounding scenery is also very good. Fat Boy looked at the surroundings and exclaimed. The young master, who has been living in the city like him, has an inexplicable yearning for this kind of poor life.
"Okay, don't sigh, Star Soul, it's not too early, let's go see the dean first, he has made a special explanation, let me take you to see him as soon as you arrive." Ah Ren said.
Nodding slightly, that's it, under the leadership of Ah Ren. We walked into the orphanage, into the home where I had been away for more than 10 years.
The orphanage is very lively, the orphans in the original mainland are wearing clothes that can only be worn on festivals, happily arranging their own world, in addition to them, there are many well-wishers are also mixed in, everyone is busy for today's celebration.
"If you don't understand anything, you can always ask any of the children in the orphanage, and they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Mengxing, you've been here, and you know a little bit about this. You can just take everyone around. In front of an antique three-story building, Mu Keren also stopped and faced everyone.
Everything in the orphanage is very unfamiliar to everyone, and everyone has long wanted to go and see for themselves. Seeing Ah Ren say this, how can it be polite, especially the four fat boys, they even got into the crowd after saying goodbye to me, it is estimated that they have grown so big, and it is the first time they have seen so many cute children. The fresh feeling made them so happy that they forgot where Bei was.
"Sister Qingxuan, let's go around too, you listen to me, there are many fun things here, I guarantee you have never played before." Mengxing was not far behind, and he also disappeared into the flow of people with Qingxuan in tow.
"Star Soul, let's go, the dean is waiting for us." Ah Ren said.
"Hmm!" Nodding, I followed Ah Ren and stepped into the building with absolute authority in the orphanage.
Stepping on the old but still sturdy wooden staircase, we quickly went up to the third floor, and came to a simple but very clean room, just as Ah Ren wanted to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened, and a small but delicate girl walked out, but her face did not seem to be very good.
"Ah Xiu, what's wrong with you? Feeling unwell? Seeing this, Ah Ren asked with concern.
I didn't expect someone outside the door, the girl named Ah Xiudi's body shook violently, but when she saw the person who came, she said happily, "Ah Ren is you, when will you come back?" Oh, I probably didn't get a break last night, okay? Who are the guests behind you? Hello, welcome to visit the orphanage, I am the deacon of the orphanage, Shui Yunxiu. ”
"Shui Yunxiu?" As I muttered to myself, the figure of a little girl in my mind quickly emerged, she was a popular figure in our orphanage at that time, and she had strong organizational and management skills at a young age, so in the understaffed orphanage, she Shui Yunxiu was also a little teacher, and she didn't expect that she chose to stay in the orphanage when she grew up and continue to be her teacher.
"Ah Xiu, he's cold, how is it, I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't have any impression at all?" Ah Ren said with a smile.
"Cold weather? He's the big ice? Shui Yunxiu was obviously stunned, the silent boy who didn't say goodbye would actually appear in front of his eyes again, and at this moment he was still smiling at himself, I really didn't expect that the person who had been silent would actually laugh, and the smile was quite good-looking.
Big ice cubes? What a familiar and unfamiliar nickname, I know that because I was very silent at the beginning, and I don't socialize with others, so the other children secretly gave me the nickname of a big ice cube, I didn't expect that Shui Yunxiu actually slipped out of his mouth because of an accident today, but at the moment it sounds very kind, the nickname of this big ice cube represents everything before I was eight years old.
"Hello little teacher, I can't imagine that you really stayed in the orphanage as a teacher." I smiled.
"It's been so many years, and you still call me little teacher, but it's really interesting to think about the original days, oh, by the way, the dean is waiting for you, I won't bother you, and I'll have a chance to talk again." In a flash, the girl gave us the passage of the gate and said softly.
"Well, okay, we'll see you later." Speaking of fun, Ah Ren led me into the room.
Passing through a small living room, we entered the dean's office. Compared with my memory, the dean is obviously a lot older, gray hair, and wrinkles on his face indicate that the old dean has not been comfortable over the years, but he is still in good spirits, and when he saw us come in, he showed a very relieved smile on his face.
"Ah Ren, is he just cold?"
"Yes, Dean, he was Leng Tian back then, but now Leng Xing Soul, in the Eastern Emperor, he takes good care of me." Ah Ren said respectfully. As an orphan, the orphanage is his home, and the director is his father. So in front of the dean, Ah Ren was very respectful.
"Okay, Ah Tian, I can't imagine that I will be able to see you in my lifetime, and it seems that you are also doing well, this is better than anything, this stone in my heart can finally fall after so many years." Speaking of this, the dean breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that his children were promising, which is the pride of every father.
"Dean, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left without a word, please forgive me for being reckless." I sincerely said, think about my original behavior, I really have something wrong.
"Well, don't mention the past, just come back, just come back. Come, this is what should have belonged to you, and now I will return it to you, this is the only thing you brought with you when you came to the orphanage, it was supposed to be given to you at the coming-of-age ceremony when you were sixteen, but you have not been able to return it because of your disappearance, but today it has finally come true. As he spoke, the old dean handed me a piece of ancient jade.
Looking at this quaint jade, my heart was inexplicably excited, and even the hands connected to the jade were also uncontrollable trembling.
At this moment, Shui Yunxiu walked in again, bowed to everyone present, and said, "Dean, the celebration has begun, it's time for you to go down and preside." ”
"Well, are you going to start? Well, it's time to go down. As he spoke, a trace of inexplicable sorrow flashed on the dean's face, although this sorrow was fleeting, but it still couldn't escape my keen eyes, but I was very aware of the character of people like the dean, and he liked to hide many things in his heart and let himself bear it silently, and in front of others, he always seemed to be everything, everything was as before.
In this way, the four of us walked down the stairs, and after leaving the small building, we walked in the direction of the celebration platform. Along the way, countless children and people who came here to watch the ceremony greeted the dean, and the atmosphere of the celebration was pushed to ** at this moment, and the people scattered around gradually squeezed towards the only small square in the orphanage, cheers, one after another in the crowd. And the old dean, who had a worried face just now, seemed to be a different person at this moment, his face was slightly red because of excitement, and he couldn't stop waving to the crowd around him to thank him. Dedicating his life to charity is probably his most satisfying and proud moment.
In the sound of drums, the old dean walked up to the rostrum, and I and Biaoxuan and others, because of the donation of a large amount of finance, received VIP treatment, but also the honor to sit on the VIP seat on the rostrum, such an honor made us both embarrassed and excited, everyone's face was red.
After a cannon salute, the festivities finally began.
