Of course, the staff didn't persuade much, there were sponsors, and they were of course very happy as welfare institutions, so they naturally didn't bother with why the sponsors suddenly lost their temper.

immediately took Ye Tang to go through the registration and procedures for donation. Far away from the room that used to be Li Qiao's office, Ye Tang eased up a little, and relieved a lot from the discomfort that was almost suffocating before.

I thought that was it, but I didn't expect that the donation procedures had been completed, and when I was about to leave the staff's office, I saw a display case on the wall next to the door in the office.

Because it's by the door, I don't notice it when I come in, but I only notice it when I go out.

Ye Tang's gaze stayed uncontrollably on the display case. The staff noticed her lingering gaze and smiled, "Here are older photos, at least fifteen years ago, and more than twenty years ago, when our welfare home was not what it is now, nor was it of this scale." ”

"The main reason is that the economy has developed well over the years, the city has developed well, and people have money, and there are naturally more people who are willing to spend money to do charity, which is like before. I heard from the old seniors that in the past, there was only one donation for the entire hospital throughout the year, which came from a wealthy family in our Jiangcheng. If it weren't for that donation in those years, the welfare home would not have survived at all. ”

The staff chattered, but Ye Tang didn't listen too much, she had already seen a photo in the middle of the display case.

In the photo, Ye Tang saw himself.

The black and thin appearance back then also saw a child wearing a sea soul shirt standing next to her, holding her hand.

Because she is malnourished, she may not be very clean, so she looks black, black and yellow, and the child is too clean, white and clean, and looks like a child from a good family.

Ye Tang's head hurts, her brain hurts like a pinprick, her eyes are a little blurry, and she can't even see her face clearly.

But I know by feeling that the person in the photo is myself.

And the little boy who was holding her hand......

There were sharp memory fragments, which appeared suddenly, cutting her nerves, making her painful, even more painful.

"Brother, I'll hold you."

"Don't be afraid, just smile at the camera."

"Brother, you look good when you smile!"

"Brother......

"Brother......

Ye Tang almost couldn't remember how she got out of the welfare home, and when she returned to the car, her back was already soaked with cold sweat.

She didn't even get into the driver's seat and drove away, but curled up like a wounded little beast, curled up in the back seat of the car.

Ye Tang closed the car door and let himself curl up in the back seat. She trembled and even had some spasms.

It lasted about a quarter of an hour before she adjusted her breathing, and the tremors and spasms of her body stopped.

Instead of curling up and lying on the back seat, he sat on his knees in the back seat, with a pair of dark eyes, which were washed by tears, and they were amazingly bright.

After gradually relieving himself, Ye Tang sorted out his emotions, and even put on a light makeup in the mirror to cover his haggard face.

Then drive in the direction of the funeral home.

On the way, I found a flower shop and bought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, and then found a stationery store and bought a white envelope for silk gold. I wrote a check and stuffed it into an envelope, and then took out the soft-headed pen I bought with the white envelope.

Write Li Qiao's name on the envelope, and then write 'Ye Tang Jingwan' on the letter.

She bent over and wrote on the counter of the stationery store, and the cashier girl was amazed when she saw her handwriting.

"Wow, your handwriting is so beautiful......"

Ye Tang smiled faintly, "Thank you." ”

"But oh, it's not proper to give a check in cash. Although I don't know if I have been so particular about it these years, but according to the customs of our Jiangcheng, when an elder in my family died a few years ago, it was still cash. It's considered rude and unruly to use gift certificates or anything......"

The cashier girl reminded Ye Tang very kindly.

"So, is there a CCB around here?" Ye Tang asked.

Then according to Xiaomei's pointing, I went to the bank to withdraw the money, and stuffed it into an envelope.

Then I got in the car and drove towards the funeral home.

To be honest, although it is not appropriate to describe a place like a funeral home as lively, it is, quite lively.

Ye Tang walked around the parking lot before finding a parking space.

Li Qiao should be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world, there are really a lot of people here, most of them are quite young, probably children who came out of the welfare home.

There were also many young people who also came with their adoptive parents.

Ye Tang was dressed in a long black skirt, holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums and walked towards the mourning hall.

Before he reached the door, he could see many people in Li Qiao's mourning hall. She has never been married or had children in her life, but there are so many people who come to see her off on her last journey.

In the eyes of many people, if a woman does not marry or have children in her life, she is unsatisfactory to some extent, but in fact, this statement is very one-sided and even ridiculous.

Because to some extent, Li Qiao's life may be more complete than many people. In a way, she's more successful than many people.

She has been doing the same thing seriously all her life, and through this incident, so many people have remembered her, cared about her, worried about her illness, and grieved for her death.

Ye Tang felt that he was actually a little redundant.

Compared with the people who came to mourn Li Qiao with a room full of true feelings, Ye Tang felt that he was a little redundant. Li Qiao is not inferior to her grief, and she is not grief.

But Ye Tang still came and walked in.

A man dies like a lamp goes out, and the dead are greater.

In fact, sometimes, it's not that the deceased needs you to give an explanation, but just that you want to give yourself an explanation.

Ye Tang wrote his name in the gift book on the platform at the door, and then handed the white envelope to the person who registered the silk gold.

The person who registered the silk gold was a middle-aged woman with a gentle appearance, who looked to be in her fifties. Ye Tang felt that he should know her. If I remember correctly, she was still young, less than thirty years old, and she could play the piano, and she played the piano averagely, but she always stumbled and played the piano, and the children in the school sang nursery rhymes together.

Her surname was Xie, and the children called her Teacher Xie at that time.

Xie Xufang kept staring at Ye Tang, Ye Tang had already written his name in the gift book, and the white envelope was handed to Xie Xufang, but Xie Xufang could see it and forgot to reach out to take it.

A younger girl on the side called, "Teacher Xie? ”

Xie Xufang came back to his senses at this time, and while taking the envelope, he asked seriously, "Are you a child from our courtyard?" ”
