When Zi Xin heard this, she couldn't help crying, and suddenly hugged Dao Chen's waist and said in a crying tone: "Brother Dao Chen, don't go! I won't let you go!"

Suddenly, Dao Chen felt a trace of dullness in his heart, and the slightest reluctance that was originally buried in his heart had been infinitely magnified at this time. He squatted down and looked at Zi Xin's snot and tears on his face, without the slightest disgust. Instead, he took off the cloth on his sleeve, wiped the snot and tears on her face, and then reluctantly held back a smile and said, "Okay, don't cry, it won't look good if you cry." ”

Zi Xin still looked pitiful, looked at Dao Chen with innocent big eyes, and asked, "Brother Dao Chen, don't you go, okay?"

Dao Chen was speechless, he didn't want to lie to Zi Xin, and he didn't want Zi Xin to continue to be sad, so he could only show a far-fetched smile to her. At this time, a woman of about fifty years old came not far away, and said with a kind smile: "Xin'er, don't you want to learn to knit sweaters?

This old woman is one of the three administrators of the Warm Welfare Home, the wife of the director, named Yu Mei, and everyone calls her Aunt Mei. She was dressed in a century-old dress, which was worn out and patched in many places. has an old face, and the long hair on the temples has turned white, and it has broken the hearts of the children over the years.

"Okay!"

When Zi Xin heard this, her expression suddenly became happy. A few months ago, she wanted to learn to knit sweaters with Yu Mei, but Yu Mei never had time, and she suddenly agreed today, she was naturally very happy.

Dao Chen saw Yu Mei coming, greeted him, and shouted, "Aunt Mei." ”

"The dean is waiting for you in the office, tell you to hurry over. Yu Mei stopped in front of the two of them, first spoke to Dao Chen, then rubbed Zixin's hair, and said, "Let's go." ”

After speaking, he took Zixin's little hand and walked towards the door of the room not far in front of the courtyard.

——

The director's office is the leftmost room on the second floor of the welfare house building, and the whole office is very simple, the desk is a broken foot, and the broken foot is cushioned with bricks, which can barely be used. The table was piled with pages, each one full of writing. The only thing I could see was the brand new wooden chair, which had been sent a few days ago.

The corners of the room were filled with wooden blocks, as well as carpenter's supplies, and as soon as Dao Chen walked in, there was a unique smell of wood in his nose.

At this time, an old man in his fifties, with white hair and glasses, was sitting in a chair, holding a pencil in his hand, and was constantly writing and drawing on the paper, as if he was drawing a diagram of the structure of an object. This old man is the director of the Warm Welfare Institute, named Jiang Fu, because the welfare home is too old, and he has been busy for state subsidies all these years.

He is only in his fifties, but now he looks like he is sixty or seventy years old, which is really chilling.

After Dao Chen walked in, there was bitterness in his eyes, as if he was about to shed tears. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to go?" ”

His words suddenly made the atmosphere in the whole room dull, and his words revealed reluctance to this place, as well as helpless sadness.

Jiang Fu's face did not change, he was not moved by Dao Chen's appearance at all, nodded, echoed the dull atmosphere, and said, "Yes! Plump birds need to swim outside, and they can't always be at home." ”

Dao Chen looked like he was about to cry, and said, "Can't you slow down?"

After hearing this, Jiang Fu's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said: "You have been delayed for four years! If you are someone else's oldest twelve, you will leave, you are good, you will delay it for four years! No! You must leave today!"

Seeing this, Dao Chen blinked his eyes, held back a few tears, and said: "I have lived here for nine years, and every bit of this place is my memory, this is my home!

Hearing these words in Jiang Fu's ears, he couldn't make half a wave, and he said without changing his face: "Don't come with me like this, you have lived in a welfare home for nine years, and I still don't know you?"

As he spoke, he paused, his face became more resolute, and said, "You have to leave for me today! The welfare institute has been in a recession in the past few years, and you still have to grab food with a group of children, are you embarrassed?"

Hearing this, Dao Chen fell silent, stood here quietly for a long time, and finally said, "Okay." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Fu's complexion softened a little, he sighed, and his gaze at Dao Chen couldn't help but soften a little. After all, after raising Daochen for nine years, it is impossible to say that he has no feelings. Because Yu Mei suffers from infertility and has no heirs, he has already regarded Daochen as a son.

He opened the drawer, rummaged through some documents, and finally took a contract, and said: "Before this, I dragged some connections to find you a job as a campus security guard, how about you take a look? I know that you don't want to integrate into a new family, and in the past few years, many people have said that they want to adopt you, but you have refused, and I want to stay here, and I am not reluctant." However, you don't know what the welfare home is like now, and I won't say more. With my ability, I can only find this kind of job, if you don't want to, I'll help you see it these days. ”

Dao Chen's eyes fell on the contract, and after a pause, he said in a sad tone, "No need, just this one." ”

Jiang Fu nodded, stood up, and said to Dao Chen, "Follow me." ”

Dao Chen looked at Jiang Fu suspiciously, followed him out of the door, and came to an old room on the right. This is Jiang Fu and Yu Mei's room, which has an old wooden bed from the last century, and the cabinet next to the bed is dilapidated, and many places have peeled off the paint. At the foot of the bed was a wardrobe with half a broken door, revealing the neatly organized clothes inside.

I saw Jiang Fu come to the bedside, the bottom of the bed next to the bed was sealed by a wooden board, and he put his hand under the bed, and then the wooden board was actually pulled out by him. At this time, Dao Chen found out that this was actually a box, and after living here for so long, he never knew it!

Jiang Fu took out a rusty iron box from the box, handed it to Dao Chen, and sighed: "Actually, you Mo Xiaohe came to me ten years ago, she seems to have already planned everything, let me hand this over to you when you leave." At that time, she gave me a sum of money, and I survived the recession for a few years. ”

The Mo Xiaohe in Jiang Fu's mouth was Daochen's mother, he took the box, his expression was a little moved, he felt very confused, recalling the happy scene of the family when his mother was still there in those years, and couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Jiang Fu could see that Dao Chen was revealing his true feelings, and he was not acting. He patted Dao Chen on the shoulder and said, "Say whatever you want." ”

Dao Chen brushed a few tears and asked, "Is there a subsidy for leaving the welfare home?"

Hearing these words in Jiang Fu's ears, all those moving expressions disappeared, and after he glanced at Dao Chen strangely, he replied resolutely and said, "No!"

He knew that if he talked to Dao Chen around the bend, Dao Chen would definitely turn his horns, find a way to find a flaw in his words, and deduct a little money to get out. It's really that after eating too many of these losses over the years, I summed it up, and resolutely refused some of Daochen's requests.

——

In the evening, Dao Chen carried two big burdens, stood at the door of the welfare home, looked at the warm words on the door number, and reluctance suddenly surged out of his heart.

At this time, Jiang Fu drove a dilapidated old-fashioned van to the road not far in front of Dao Chen and stopped, he got out of the car, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's go." ”

As he spoke, he helped Dao Chen open the door of the back box of the van, put the things in one by one, and got into the car. This car was originally used by the welfare home to buy groceries, and although it was dirty on the outside, it was very clean on the inside.

"Brother Dao Chen!"

Just after Dao Chen got out of the car, Zi Xin suddenly ran out of the gate of the welfare home, with tears in her eyes, full of reluctance to Dao Chen. At the same time, the other two managers in the welfare home, followed by children, came out together.

After hearing the voice, Jiang Fu sighed, turned off the car he had just started, and said to Dao Chen, "Go and say goodbye to everyone." ”

Dao Chen pushed the car door, picked up Zi Xin, who was running in front of him, and heard her cry and said, "Brother Dao Chen, I won't let you go, can you not go?"

She cried even more fiercely at this time, with a handful of snot and tears on her pink and tender little face, Dao Chen could only take the tissue handed by Yu Mei beside her, wiped the tears on Zixin's face, patted her shoulder, and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, I'll come back soon to play with Zixin." ”

Yu Mei also stepped forward to dissuade her, pulled Zixin along, and let her make trouble. And Dao Chen could only look at her apologetically, and as the car started, it gradually disappeared from Zixin's field of vision.

"Brother Dao Chen, you must come back!"

This sentence seemed to use all her strength, and after she finished speaking, she lay on Yu Mei and cried. She knew that all this would happen sooner or later, so in fact, she had accepted it in her heart, but she was a little reluctant.

——

In the evening, the van slowly stopped on the side of a luxurious gate, and there was a huge marble plaque on the right side of the gate, which was carved with five powerful characters "Cangxia Medical College".
