Chapter 118: Passing by
After eating dinner with the children and playing for a while, the children were taken to sleep by the nurses of the orphanage.
She put away her toys, then stood up and looked at the house, only to find that there was no air conditioning in the room, the orphanage was originally on the outskirts of City A, the surrounding area was relatively open, and the temperature was a few degrees lower than the temperature in the city, and the temperature was even lower at night in winter.
Xia Yiyi walked out of the game room and came to the children's bedroom, the children's bedroom was divided into two rooms, one for boys and one for girls, she came to the girls' room, walked in through the faint light of the wall lamps on both sides of the door, and saw that the children were asleep, and then walked out, and happened to meet Yanqing at the door.
"Yiyi, will you just sleep in my room tonight?" Yan Qing spoke.
"I should thank you for taking me in." Xia Yiyi said with a smile, "By the way, the dean's mother, I remember that the children's rooms are air-conditioned, why is there no air conditioning in the playroom?" And the children's rooms don't have air conditioning at night, not even heating, isn't it cold? ”
Yan Qing smiled bitterly and said: "The orphanage's funds are tight, the air conditioning in the game room has been used for many years, it has long been broken, and it has not been replaced with a new one, as for the heating in the children's room, it is a big expense, so ......"
The more Xia Yiyi listened, the tighter her brows became, she knew that the orphanage's funds were tight, but she didn't take into account some practical problems, and didn't take into account how bad the living conditions of the children were in the cold weather.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I should have come back sooner so I could help these kids more." Xia Yiyi said apologetically.
"Yiyi, you don't have to feel sorry, these children have never complained about anything, even in such a bad situation, they are all happy." Yan Qing opened his mouth to comfort Xia Yiyi.
"I wish I could have helped them a little more." Xia Yiyi said from the bottom of her heart. Xia Yiyi felt that her meager salary couldn't do anything at all, and she planned to ask Lin Muyan for help after she went back, at least a few air conditioners could be installed, so that the children could spend this winter warmly.
"The children are all asleep, and the temperature is relatively low at night, so go back to your room early to rest." Yan Qing spoke.
Xia Yiyi nodded, and when she was about to go back to the room, she saw Yan Chao leaving in the opposite direction, and she asked suspiciously, "Mother Dean, aren't you resting?" ”
"You go back to your room to rest first, I'll check again, some children will kick the quilt, I'm worried that they will catch a cold." Yan Qing smiled, and then walked to the boy's room, Xia Yiyi had to go back to the room alone, she sat down on the chair in front of the window, looking at the window glass covered with a thin layer of mist, you can imagine how low the temperature outside is at this time.
She let out a long sigh, her mood became a little heavy, the Lin family had donated a sum of money to add some facilities to the orphanage, and she was not good at asking Lin Muyan to donate to the orphanage again and again, she had to find a way to let more people help the children.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Can't sleep or is it too cold? When Yan Qing came back, he saw Xia Yiyi sitting there a little distracted, and asked with concern.
"Nothing, I was wondering how I could help the kids. The weather is so cold, whether it is a playroom, a classroom or a bedroom, there should be heating, not as easy as children catching a cold and getting sick. Xia Yiyi said with a frown.
"Yiyi, I am very touched and grateful that you have this heart, but the reality is here, many times we are powerless, the money you donated to the orphanage has improved the lives of the children a lot, at least the orphanage has been saved, and the children also have a place to shelter from the wind and rain." Yan Qing said with relief.
"Mother Dean, it is really a blessing for us parents to meet you." Xia Yiyi said with emotion, she couldn't imagine that if she hadn't taken care and support at the beginning, she didn't know what would have become now.
"I don't have children myself, so I treat you all like my children." Yan Qing's heart was a little sour, but also a little relieved, although she couldn't take care of her biological children, but she gave her maternal love to these children who needed love. "Alright, let's go and wash up."
Yan Qing left the room again, Xia Yiyi took off her coat and was about to sleep, the mobile phone suddenly rang, she saw that it was Lin Muyan who opened it, and immediately picked up the phone.
"Mu Yan, why did you take the initiative to call me?" Xia Yiyi asked happily.
"Come out." Lin Muyan's voice was a little hoarse.
"What's wrong with your voice?" Xia Yiyi didn't have time to comprehend the meaning that came out of Lin Muyan's mouth, but she immediately noticed that there was something wrong with Lin Muyan's voice.
"Yiyi, I'm outside the orphanage, I'll pick you up." Lin Muyan replied to the question, "Come out quickly." ”
Xia Yiyi got up and glanced out the window, although she was a little far away and couldn't see the car outside the gate of the orphanage, she saw a bright light outside the door, like the bright light of the headlights in front of the car.
"You're sick, aren't you? Why don't you stay in the orphanage for one night tonight......" Xia Yiyi's words generally stopped, the orphanage has no extra room for Lin Muyan to sleep in, and there is no heating here, Lin Muyan is uncomfortable, if his condition worsens in the middle of the night, he can't even go to the hospital, "I know, you wait for me, I'll go out immediately." ”
Xia Yiyi got dressed again, left the room with her bag on her back, and met Yanqing in the corridor who came back from washing.
"Yiyi, where are you going so late?" Yan Qing asked.
"Mom, Dean, I'm sorry, I don't live here tonight." Xia Yiyi said apologetically, "My husband came back from a business trip, he drove here to pick me up, and he is at the door now." ”
"It's so late, it's inconvenient to go back, why don't you stay here for one night, you can stay in my room, I'll go and squeeze with the children." Yan Qing spoke.
"No, I'll bring him to see you another day, he's a little uncomfortable, and I'm going to go back to see a doctor with him." Xia Yiyi politely rejected Yanqing's kindness. "Mother Dean, you rest early, I'll go back first."
"I'll send you out." Yan Qing went back to the room and put on a coat, and then accompanied Xia Yiyi to the gate of the orphanage, and sure enough, there was a black car parked there, the exhaust pipe of the car was still steaming, and the driver also got out of the car and opened the door.
"Mother Dean, hurry up and go back, it's cold outside. I'm leaving. Xia Yiyi hugged Yan Qing, and then immediately got into the car, seeing Lin Muyan sitting there with her eyes closed, she didn't talk to Lin Muyan immediately, but lowered the window and waved her hand at Yan Qing, "Dean's mother, I'm leaving, you go back quickly, goodbye." ”
"Be careful on the road." Yan Qing advised.
Lin Muyan, who was resting with his eyes closed, felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, he immediately opened his eyes and turned his head to look, only to see a back figure walking into the orphanage.
"Aren't you coming back tomorrow's plane? How did it suddenly appear here? Xia Yiyi closed the window, isolated the cold air outside, reached out and stroked Lin Muyan's forehead, frowned and said worriedly: "You have a fever, let's go to the hospital immediately." ”
"No, I'll just go home and get some sleep." Lin Muyan pulled Xia Yiyi's hand down and looked at her with burning eyes: "I originally planned to come back tomorrow, but you said you missed me, so I came back." ”
Listening to Lin Muyan's reason, Xia Yiyi only felt that three black lines appeared on her forehead, which was too capricious, "What about work?" Is the work over there? ”
"It's over, there's a drinking party in the evening, Mu Feng stayed over there to help me attend." Lin Muyan hugged Xia Yiyi into his arms, he felt that his head was a little heavy, so he leaned back on the chair and said a little weakly: "The woman who sent you out just now is the director of the orphanage, the mother of the director in your mouth?" ”
"yes, it's a pity you didn't see it again this time." Xia Yiyi said regretfully, "If it weren't for your illness, I really want you to meet." ”
"Next time, there will be a lot of opportunities." Lin Muyan said lightly, the carriage was quiet for a while, and he spoke again: "But listening to the voice, I feel that he is a very gentle person." ”
"Yes, not only is the voice gentle, but the people are also beautiful, gentle and temperamental." Hearing the praise of Yanqing, Xia Yiyi immediately echoed, "But I always feel that she should have a past that she doesn't want to recall, because I always feel that there is a faint sadness in her." ”
"Everyone has a secret in their heart." Lin Muyan said with emotion, he adjusted his posture, feeling that his head was getting heavier and heavier, his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and his body became very weak.
"And what's your secret?" Xia Yi leaned on Lin Muyan's arms and asked curiously, and after waiting for a long time without waiting for Lin Muyan's response, she sat up from Lin Muyan's arms and saw that Lin Muyan had closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xia Yiyi touched Lin Muyan's forehead and found that the temperature of her forehead was a little hotter than just now, Xia Yiyi touched Lin Muyan's palm again, and found that Lin Muyan's palm was also very hot.
"How long will it take to get into the city?" Xia Yiyi glanced out the window, the car was still driving at high speed, so she asked the driver in front of her.
"There are still ten minutes to the toll station, and if there is no traffic jam at the toll station, you can get home in half an hour." The driver tilted his head slightly and replied as he looked at the road ahead.
"Don't go home, go to the hospital as soon as you enter the city, my husband is sick." Xia Yiyi spoke.
The driver glanced at Lin Muyan in the back seat through the rearview mirror, so he replied respectfully: "Okay, then I'll contact the hospital first, let them prepare first, and as soon as the car arrives at the hospital, Mr. will be able to receive treatment." ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble." Xia Yiyi nodded, took off her coat and covered Lin Muyan's body, and reached out to touch the temperature of Lin Muyan's forehead from time to time along the way.
Fortunately, it was late, there were no cars on the road, and the road was smooth and unimpeded to the hospital.
