Walking back to the orphanage from the river, the smell of smoke on his body was blown away by the wind, and when he was still fifty meters away from the orphanage, Lin Ping took off his coat and shook it, and put it under his nose to smell it, making sure that there was no smell of smoke, and then continued to walk forward.

Aunt Fang forbade them to smoke, and Lin Ping could only go out of the stall on weekdays and occasionally smoke two to relieve their addiction when he was at Xu Jie's house.

The previous orphanage was just a small courtyard less than 100 meters away, and the room where six children lived was also shared, and the conditions were difficult and simple, but this courtyard was the best memory of Lin Ping's childhood.

Now, with the support of all parties in society and the government, the orphanage has built two three-storey buildings in front and back, and the area of the yard has also been expanded a lot, and some equipment for children's daily exercise has been placed. There is also a bronze bust of Grandma Li, which Lin Ping strongly requested, and he paid for a statue to commemorate the deceased Grandma Li.

In front of the door is a small single room, and there is an aunt on duty at night to prevent the children from being naughty and running out to play in the middle of the night.

The lower two floors of the front building are the children's dormitories, the upper floor is for the aunts, and the back floor is for the children who are fifteen or sixteen years old, after all, the children are old, and it is a little inconvenient to live together, some study outside, and have a place to rest when they go home, and some go out to work, but still keep a house for them, so that they can come back and see.

Fortunately, the rooms in the two buildings are rich, and the back building is still half empty.

"Knock Knock"

Lin Ping knocked on the door.

It was a fifty-year-old aunt who opened the door, and when she saw Lin Ping, she smiled first, and then pulled down her face: "You smoke again, be careful what your Aunt Fang says about you." ”

Lin Ping grinned, walked in, and whispered: "Aunt Liang, your nose is so good, I dared to come in after a long time of wind blowing outside, but you actually smelled it, did Aunt Fang sleep?" ”

"It's all asleep, you go in and be quiet, don't make noise to the others." Aunt Liang gently closed the door.

"Alas, then I'll go in, Aunt Liang, you should rest early."

"Go ahead." Aunt Liang waved at Lin Ping.

Lin Ping walked through the corridor in the middle of the front building, walked into the back building, and walked up to the third floor in a soft voice.

Only Lin Ping lived on the third floor, which was his own request. It's not because he's withdrawn, but because he comes back with something strange every day, for fear of arousing the curiosity of other children.

These things are all treasures in Lin Ping's opinion, and the children are naughty, so it's a pity if they are accidentally broken.

When I woke up, it was already nine o'clock.

It is Lin Ping's habit to go to bed early and get up late, no matter how noisy the children in the yard are, Lin Ping can always sleep peacefully.

Lin Ping opened the wooden door and leaned on the outer wall, watching the children downstairs playing.

Aunt Fang, who was wearing a suit, walked over from the front yard, looked up and saw Lin Ping, and helped her eyes: "Get up, hurry up and come down to eat, and I'll talk to you later." ”

"Ugh." Lin Ping responded, and shouted with a smile: "Aunt Fang, where are you going to go today when you look so good?" ”

Aunt Fang looked at herself and smiled happily: "I'm going to the city for a meeting, you go to my room after eating, don't forget." ”

"Got it." Lin Ping nodded, looked at it for a while, and went back to the room to wash.

Go downstairs and walk to the front yard.

When the children playing in the yard saw Lin Ping coming, they ran to Lin Ping's side and hugged Lin Ping's arm: "Brother Lin Ping, can you take us to play." ”

Lin Ping squatted in front of the children and touched his head one by one: "Brother Lin Ping has something to do today, I can't take you to play, go play by yourself, come back and bring you something delicious." ”

Coaxed away the children, Lin Ping walked into the kitchen of the small canteen in the front yard, scooped a bowl of porridge from the stove with a bowl, took three buns, and found a small stool nearby to sit down and eat.

A chubby aunt came in with a stack of bowls, saw Lin Ping, and said, "Lin Ping, there are two egg cakes in that pot, you can eat them too." ”

"Where?" Lin Ping stuffed the buns in his mouth, walked to the stove and looked at them one by one.

"Found it, right? Specially left for you. You wake up late every day, and there are many people in the yard, and now is the time for you to grow up, so you need to eat more. The fat aunt chattered: "You, everything is good but lazy, you don't have a serious business every day, and you don't do it if you want to study, you know that you can make a lot of money by fiddling with that stall." You are also fifteen years old this year, and you will find a girlfriend to marry a daughter-in-law in two years, it's time to learn a serious craft and find a job, don't think about Sister Fang protecting you all day long, others will gossip behind your back. My daughter is learning to drive, why don't you go and learn too? Let me tell Sister Fang, a few of our aunts will help you make up for the tuition, and it is better to have a serious job than to go to the street all day long. ”

"Alas, Aunt Zhang, you said that I can't go, I'll go when I'm free." Lin Ping crushed the egg cake and drank the last sip of the porridge, wiped his mouth and handed it to the fat aunt, and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, there is still a bowl." ”

The fat aunt rolled her eyes at Lin Ping: "Which time didn't you say that?" Last time, I said that you should go to learn how to cook behind Lao Qiang's son, and you said the same, Ren Lao Qiang chased me every day and asked you where you went, but it didn't make people worry. ”

Lin Ping scratched the back of his head, glanced at the wall clock in the kitchen, and said with a smile: "This time I promise to go, I promise to go, Aunt Zhang, I have to go, there is something to do." ”

"Don't forget." Aunt Zhang grabbed a rag and shouted at Lin Ping's back.

"Got it."

When I came out of the canteen in the front yard, I heard a child crying.

A child ran to Lin Ping's side, grabbed Lin Ping's arm and said, "Brother Lin Ping, Brother Lin Ping, Chen Zhang's badge is missing, crying there, you help him find it, you help him find it." ”

"The badge is missing?" Lin Ping took the child's soft hand: "Take my brother to have a look." ”

The little boy dragged Lin Ping to the bottom of a big tree in the yard, and under the tree, an eight- or nine-year-old boy sat on a stone and cried while wiping his tears.

"Chen Zhang, don't cry, Brother Lin Ping is here, Brother Lin Ping will definitely help you find it." The little boy pulled Chen Zhang's arm and said in a milky voice.

Lin Ping took out a piece of toilet paper from his pocket and helped the little boy wipe away his tears: "Chen Zhang, did you lose your badge?" ”

The little boy named Chen Zhang shrugged his shoulders and choked up and said, "Brother Lin Ping, I lost my badge, woo woo woo ······"

"Oh oh oh, it's okay, it's okay, tell my brother how to lose it, and my brother will help you find it." Lin Ping took out another piece of toilet paper and pinched the child's nose: "Come, blow hard." ”

"呲呲呲"

Lin Ping threw the toilet paper into the trash can on the side.

"I was here with Jiang Yue just now, and then we went to eat, and when we finished eating, my badge was gone." Chen Zhang choked up and said.

"Is it here?" Lin Ping placed his palm on the big tree.

"Well, I'm still holding this tree with Jiang Yue." Chen Zhang nodded.

A faint light flashed in Lin Ping's eyes, and pictures suddenly came into view.

A group of children were chasing and playing in the yard, and the two children, Chen Zhang and Jiang Yue, circled around the tree, and then the two of them hugged the tree together. At this time, Aunt Zhang came out and shouted, a group of children ran towards the cafeteria, Chen Zhang let go of his hand and turned his head to run to the canteen, and the badge on his body was hung by a branch and brought down. Five minutes later, Aunt Chen, who was in charge of the dormitory, passed by and picked up the badge on the ground and took it away.
