Chapter 99: Don't give up until the last minute
Xiao Lu muttered and said with a small smile on her face, Yan Qingruo couldn't help but say when she saw the two cute little tiger teeth she exposed.
"You little fellow, you learned to elbow so quickly! What a little white-eyed wolf! ”
Yan Qingruo pinched her little face and said, in order to alleviate the embarrassment of sitting with Chu Mu, she picked up Xiao Lu and put it on her lap.
How do you know that Xiaolu is very knowledgeable, and slipped down from Yan Qingruo's body and said: "Teacher Yan, I want to sit with Jingjing, I want to be her eyes." ”
If Yan Qing saw that it was rare for her to be so sensible, she had no choice but to let her go to the back.
At this time, Chu Mu, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, and he said to Yan Qingruo without turning his head: "Why do the children in the church use color as their surname?" ”
In fact, Yan Qingruo had already noticed this problem, and she also consulted Mo Xi for this reason. Moxi told her that the child's name was not given by him, but by the child himself.
Before she knew it, half an hour passed quickly, and the children were noisy all the way in the car because of the excitement of eating Pizza Hut, which made her want to cover her ears to protect her fragile eardrums.
But Chu Mu unexpectedly didn't frown, he even enjoyed the time when these children were chattering and noisy.
Yan Qingruo shook her head, if it wasn't for the illusion, it would be a hell.
"Chu Shao, Pizza Hut has arrived."
At this time, Assistant Li walked to the back and said to Chu Mu respectfully.
Chu Mu glanced at Yan Qingruo with sharp eyes, she realized the gaffe just now, she was staring at him with her eyes closed without blinking, and she didn't react until he opened his eyes to meet her searching eyes.
"It's here, haha, it's here."
Yan Qingruo immediately bounced, and her buttocks bounced out of her seat as if she had left a spring bed.
Chu Mu's face did not change at all, as if she had not been looked at strangely by her just now, perhaps because the sun was shining exceptionally brightly today, she actually felt that his 10,000-year-old iceberg was not so cold.
Even, there is a tendency to melt.
The children saw the big signboard of Pizza Hut with sharp eyes, and they were already so excited that they couldn't do it, so they waited for Yan Qingruo to tell everyone to get out of the car, and they all had a good time full of anticipation.
"Slow down, don't crowd, keep order, and keep up with the line." Yan Qingruo stood in the crowd of children and admonished one after another.
Yan Qing thought that it would be overcrowded when she entered Pizza Hut, and the children would run away accidentally, and when she was worried about how to organize, she saw all the employees of Pizza Hut standing at the door, respectfully greeting them.
The neatly dressed employees stood at the door and bowed to them, shouting welcome, frightening Yan Qingruo to think that he had not returned to China for a long time, and Pizza Hut's service attitude had upgraded again.
She took the children in and found that there was no one inside, and looked at Chu Mu with a curious expression.
At this time, a man in a suit walked over with a manager's sign on his chest.
The manager walked up to them, bowed deeply to Yan Qingruo and Chu Mu and said, "Hello Mr. Chu, welcome to the Pizza Hut restaurant, we have received your charter instruction to fully guarantee the safety of the children." ”
Yan Qingruo's jaw was about to fall in shock, she was still wondering just now, why does this Pizza Hut have no guests now, it turns out that he chartered the venue in advance, and his work efficiency is really not ordinary.
"Hmm."
Chu Mu flipped through the menu and just nodded slightly to the manager next week.
"Children, you can eat whatever you want, but I advise you not to eat chicken food, so as not to worry our godfather for everyone, okay?"
"Good!"
Everyone replied in unison, but their eyes were glued straight to the menu.
"What about Mr. Chu and Miss Yan?" The manager took out the à la carte menu and placed it on the table, as if ready to order it for them personally.
Yan Qingruo was surprised to think, he actually knew the surname Yan? However, she has made headlines in Jiangcheng many times within a month, and I'm afraid there aren't many people who don't know her.
Yan Qingruo finally ordered a pizza set, but Chu Mu closed the menu, indicating that he ordered the same as her.
The level of specialized service is different, soon, less than fifteen minutes, the dishes they ordered are almost complete, Yan Qingruo doesn't like to eat nutritious food very much.
But when he was abroad, Yan Nuonuo often pestered her to eat pizza, although his body did not allow him to eat too many of these things, but in order to make him happier, Yan Qingruo still took him to eat once a month.
Chu Mu looked at the pizza in front of him, frowning the whole time, Yan Qingruo knew his expression and told himself that he was not interested in such food.
Unlike them, the children ate very happily, and when they were all full, Yan Qingruo took them back to the car.
In stark contrast to when they came, the children went back in extraordinary silence, lying on their seats one by one, stroking their bulging little bellies, licking their lips and falling asleep.
By the time I got back to church, it was almost one o'clock.
The scorching sun shrouded the ancient Sidley Cathedral, and there was a decadent air of old age, except for the leaves of the large banyan tree that flourished in the warm sun.
The doors of the church were always open, as if waiting for their return.
Mo Xi rushed over when he heard the sound, he saw Yan Qingruo and Chu Mu holding two children in their hands, Xiao Lu saw Mo Xi, and immediately broke free of Yan Qingruo's hand, ran over and pounced on the godfather, and coquettishly asked him to hug him.
The driver and Assistant Li walked at the back with two sleeping children on their shoulders.
"It's really hard for the two of you."
Moxi bowed to them slightly, bowing slightly, but she could already feel the gratitude in his eyes.
"I've already arranged the dormitory for the two of you, please come with me."
Mo Xi nodded and led them inside, Yan Qingruo and Chu Mu glanced at each other, and followed Mo Xi's footsteps with him.
Such a lazy but slightly vicious spring sun made people drowsy, and Yan Qingruo had already begun to yawn when she saw Xiao Lu lying on Moxie's shoulder.
Walking through the corridor of stone as old as the church, Moxi took out the key to open a guest room, the outside was as dilapidated as the church, and the inside was indeed a palace-level decoration, Yan Qingruo took a peek and knew that he was treated well.
"Wow, Moxie Daddy, it's luxurious."
Even Xiao Lu, who has been living here, was shocked by the splendid decoration inside, although the conditions of the collective dormitory they live in are not bad, but it can be said that this place is palace-level.
Moxi touched her head, but looked at Chu Mu and said, "Si is a burrow, only this room exclusive to the bishop can accommodate the two, and please don't dislike it." ”
Chu Mu's expression didn't seem to be moved by this, and the hotel he usually used for business trips would not be much worse than here.
Instead, Yan Qingruo hurriedly thanked Mo Xi, "Godfather, isn't this the Bishop's special room?" We just had a room. ”
Although it was for Chu Mu to relax, she went out of her way to help him refuse, because she didn't want to cause trouble to Moxi, or even the entire church.
She knew that the things of the bishop could not be touched by others, and the bishop was equivalent to the gold lord here, and his joy and sorrow were related to the life and death of the church.
At the mention of the Bishop, Moxie's expression became a little sad, and he even stopped talking.
"Godfather? Did something happen to the Bishop? ”
Yan Qingruo was keenly aware of Mo Xi's changing expression, and he usually had a kind smile on his face, there were not many times when such gloomy clouds were thick, and Yan Qingruo was unconsciously a little worried in her heart.
Moxi sighed, turned to look at these children with melancholy eyes, and then turned to Yan Qingruo and said, "Lord Bishop passed away not long ago, God bless the good man, may he go to heaven." ”
Father Moxi bowed his head and kissed the cross in his hand.
"But, the new bishop, won't you need this room?" Yan Qingruo had not met their bishop, but she was saddened by Moxi's grief.
Hearing Yan Qingruo's words, Mo Xi shook his head even more sadly and said, "It won't be needed, the newly appointed bishop is ready to give up the charity here, and even the Shengde Cathedral." ”
Yan Qingruo's eyes widened in surprise, she didn't expect that this once-prosperous church would inevitably go into decline in the end.
With the spread of free thought, there are fewer and fewer believers in the country, and it is estimated that the church's financial problems have made it difficult to operate.
"That's really bad news."
Yan Qingruo's eyes couldn't help but look at the child, obviously they didn't know what was waiting for them yet, obviously the god of luck hadn't come to this poor child yet.
Suddenly, Yan Qingruo and Mo Xi looked like they had lost a battle, Chu Mu coughed dryly, turned around and entered the bishop's lounge.
"It's not early, I think it's time for a lunch break."
Moxi saw that he was driving people, so he took the children to the collective dormitory, and Yan Qingruo also left.
Yan Qingruo caught up with Moxi and asked beside him, "Godfather, if the Shengde Church is abandoned, what should these children do?" ”
Moxie raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes seemed to have no borders, "I think God will bless them." ”
His tone was pretending to be relaxed, but his hands were tightly gripping the cross on his chest. Yan Qingruo secretly made up her mind to go, and decided that she would not sit idly by and watch the Sidley Foster Home disappear like this.
"Godfather, I also believe that God will bless them, and we don't give up until the last minute, okay?"
A charming smile bloomed on Yan Qingruo's face, in Moxi's eyes, she was like an angel, Moxi knew that everything was arranged by God in the dark.
Yan Qingruo and the children returned to the dormitory, obviously, the children did not hear their conversation just now, or did not understand the meaning.
