With mixed feelings, Chen Xiaohai walked into the narrow courtyard of the Little Sunflower Welfare Institute.

"Brother Xiaohai, you're off work!"

"Brother Xiaohai, I miss you so much!"

"Come play with us!"

The children cheered and hugged him in the middle. Looking at their innocent smiling faces, Chen Xiaohai was full of feelings. He took a long breath and handed a few packets of vegetables and meat in his hand to a few older children: "Xiaojuan, you take someone to clean these vegetables and meat, go cook." ”

Several of the older children in the orphanage can cook, which is a skill that has been forced out of control for a long time. I can't help it, I can't cook, and I don't have the money to go out to buy food, so I'm going to starve.

Chen Xiaohai was playing games with the children, but he was a little distracted, and his mind kept replaying the scene in Jin Yan's office before returning like a movie.

Ten minutes before he got off work, he was called to the office by Jin Yan.

"Brother Hai, according to our previous research, combined with the actual construction and renovation progress of Jinshui Group's farm, how do you think the children in the welfare home will be transferred to the farm in two days?"

"The farm will choose a site to build a primary school and a kindergarten, and will hire teachers to manage the children. After all, they need to learn. ”

Chen Xiaohai also told Jin Yan before about moving the welfare institute to the farm, and he took the initiative to bring it up. Because the current owner of the welfare home is no longer his deceased master, he has to pay rent to him every month, and the inside of this welfare home is too narrow, and more than a dozen children can't move at all, which is very inconvenient. The children of the residents around the orphanage did not have a very good attitude towards the orphans, and bullied them from time to time, which greatly damaged their self-esteem.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that there were a large number of vacant rooms and land on the side of Jinshui Farm, he immediately thought about it and proposed to move there. This idea was incorporated into the planning of the farm by Jin Yan.

"Yes, Captain, thank you! I'm going to go back and prepare. Chen Xiaohai was very moved.

"Let's help each other." Jin Yan said, "Like them, I have no parents since I was a child. I know the suffering of orphans. ”

......

Returning to reality, Chen Xiaohai took out a printed plan from his bag: "Children, in two days, we will move to a new place." This place is very vast, spacious to live in, and there are large areas of grassland, farmland, chickens, pigs and sheep, but the place is relatively remote, far away from the urban area. There will also be a primary school, there will be a kindergarten. You, are you willing to go? ”

He thought that the mere fact of being far away from the city would arouse the doubts and objections of many children. But to his surprise, the children were unusually happy and cheering.

"Yes! We do! ”

"I'm going!"

"It's time to go to school!"

......

Looking at the excitement of the children, Chen Xiaohai scratched his head. He felt as if he had been falling into a mistake all along. From his point of view, it is convenient to live in the city, as long as you have some money in hand, you can easily solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation. But from the children's point of view, the wide world can arouse their interest more.

I knew this, and I have been nesting in this small alley to make a yarn! He scolded himself.

Go to a small village in the suburbs to find a yard to rent, food and accommodation are cheap, the place is still big, and you don't have to suffer the anger of the adults and naughty children in the surrounding neighborhood!

"Since everyone is willing to go, then in the remaining two days, we have to prepare for the move." While eating, looking at the nineteen children, large and small, Chen Xiaohai made an order.

"First, everyone should pack up everyone's own things, pack up the things to take away, and if you can't take away what you don't want, you must throw it in the trash, and you are not allowed to throw it around."

"Second, the welfare home must be cleaned inside and out, and a clean place should be returned to the landlord, which is also responsible for our lives."

"Thirdly, if anyone owes money or something outside, pay it off quickly. If you can't pay it back, you have to come to me to pay it off, and you have to do it clean, without leaving a tail. If anyone has caused trouble with their neighbors and has not apologized, they must come to the door to apologize. ”

"It's about doing things, and it's also about being people." He said.

The children all nodded. After he finished explaining the matter, he was excited, finished eating, and went busy one by one, washing dishes, mopping the floor, tidying up, cleaning......

Chen Xiaohai watched their busyness, all of them were as sensible as little adults, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but sour. He felt the money in his pocket, went out the door, and came to the owner's house diagonally across the alley.

"Hello Mr. He, we are moving out, and we will settle the rent with you." He said.

"You're moving out?" Mr. He, the landlady who wore glasses, was a little surprised, "Xiaohai, the rent I gave you is already the lowest in the past, and it is not easy for you to take care of the orphans." Are you looking for a cheaper place? ”

Mr. He was not so polite to him and the welfare institute, especially after the death of Chen Xiaohai's master, he often rolled his eyes on them. Because he thinks that if he hadn't promised the original Master Chen Xiaohai, his land could have found another tenant and rented it at a better price. Moreover, so many children live together, which is chaotic and noisy, which makes it unbearable for him to live nearby.

However, when he heard that Chen Xiaohai had gone to work in the "Heavenly Court" team in Baiteng District, his attitude was much kinder. It's not okay to be discordant, it's an institution that governs the supernatural in the area, and it has a lot of power.

"Yes, it's mainly the children here, it's still too inconvenient." Chen Xiaohai said, "Over the years, it has also caused a lot of trouble to the neighbors. ”

As he spoke, he took back the deposit, and after settling the money, he counted out 3,000 yuan to Mr. He: "This money should be compensated to you." ”

"No, no." Mr. Ho waved his hand repeatedly. However, under Chen Xiaohai's hard plugging, he still accepted it.

"You, where are you going?" Mr. Ho asked.

"Go to Lingbei City, the farm of Jinshui Group, which is vast and has enough space."

......

Two days later, Chen Xiaohai walked out of the orphanage with the children. Workers had already helped them carry out bags of luggage and belongings and put them on several trucks that had been parked outside the alley. On the truck, there are more household utensils, tools, supplies, food and so on that have been purchased. There was also a bus, and the driver helped him with a smile on his face, picking up the children one by one.

They sat on the bus they had never sat on, through the spacious and clear windows, started the car, waved in the direction of the welfare home, waved goodbye to the yesterday of their lives, and rushed to the tomorrow they longed for in their hearts.
