He didn't know much about Cheng Lan. Only in the past few days did he learn that she was also from Nancheng and was somewhat related to Chu Xinyue's old neighbor Chu Tao.
No wonder she wanted to come with them.
Otherwise, based on his understanding of Cheng Lan, Cheng Lan would not get along with people like them at all.
Cheng Lan, a girl who worked hard in the capital and established a foothold in the capital on her own, was completely different from the lucky ones like them who were born in Rome, and naturally she was not gregarious.
Fu Xiupei's sunglasses reflected the light of the morning sun, his hands were in his pockets, his casual and arrogant look was indeed very attractive.
"Where is your home?" he asked again, "Could it be that you are going back home secretly? Are there any treasures hidden in your home that cannot be discovered?"
It was originally a joke, but Cheng Lan answered very seriously. She said: "In a sense, it is right to go home."
"Then let me go and take a look, can't you?"
"you sure?"
"All my people are here."
"Then given your status, it would be rude to go empty-handed."
"Don't worry, I will definitely send a big red envelope to your family."
Cheng Lan looked at him, as if he saw a shining golden boy who scattered wealth, but he was still a fool.
She nodded and said with a smile: "Let's go together then, Mr. Fu."
After taking the subway for three stops, the two of them arrived at a welfare home. There were already many people standing at the door, wearing red vests with the logo of the "Baby Come Home" Volunteer Alliance printed on the back.
Fu Xiupei's small head has a big question mark.
Cheng Lan smiled and said: "What are you doing standing around? Come home with me, let's go."
"..."
Cheng Lan walked over and asked the person in charge for two red vests. Although he didn't know anyone else, the common desire made everyone's hearts closely connected.
"Take it, put it on, the door will open at 7 o'clock, we will go in soon."
Fu Xiupei hooked his red vest with his little finger, extremely reluctant, "The theme of my outfit today is green nature, and this red vest doesn't match me."
Cheng Lan put it on on her own, "How can there be no red in nature? Put it on quickly, we are about to go in."
"I don't."
"wear."
"No."
Cheng Lan took the vest in his hand with one hand, pulled off his cross-body bag and hung it on his shoulder with the other, and then just like an old mother dressing her son who was lying in bed, she put it on him.
"Carry the bag on your own," Cheng Lan turned the bag onto his shoulder with a backhand, "Red and green are popular now. Look, how handsome it is."
Fu Xiupei lowered his head and took a look. White clothes, red vest, and fluorescent green bag, do they look good?
"Mr. Fu is handsome and looks good in anything he wears." Cheng Lan took off his sunglasses again, "With such a handsome face and such charming eyes, wouldn't it be a pity not to show them?"
The sun had risen, and the strong sunlight made it difficult for Fu Xiupei to open his eyes. His eyes were a little photophobic.
"Why are you squinting?" Cheng Lan teased him again, "Mr. Fu, show your usual style, others will be happy to see you."
"..." These words don't sound like good words.
At seven o'clock sharp, the door opened, and everyone lined up to enter. Cheng Lan grabbed his waistcoat and pulled him over quickly.
"Hey..." Fu Xiupei looked confused. Is it too late to regret now?
This is a large-scale children's welfare home, with some healthy and some not-so-healthy. The reception room here has people looking for or sending children here almost every day.
Seven o'clock is the time for the children to get up, and it is also the busiest time for the staff.
These volunteers are here to help.
Fu Xiupei was completely at a loss and could only follow Cheng Lan.
"Didn't you say you were going home? Why are you here? This is... a nursery?"
"Are you blind? Didn't you see so many signs when you came in?"
"Did not notice……"
An aunt in a white uniform clapped her hands at the door of the dormitory and said enthusiastically: "Children, we have several brothers and sisters coming to our home today. The brothers and sisters will help everyone get up, and then take everyone to wash their faces and brush their teeth. Everyone claps.
welcome."
The dormitories are all big buns, and each bunk is covered by sea noodles of various colors. There are more than a dozen children sleeping in one dormitory, and they all look to be about three or four years old.
There are other dormitories next door, and Fu Xiupei has heard the cry of a baby that is several months old.
The children all poked their little heads out of the quilt. When they heard the aunt's voice and saw the aunt clapping her hands, they also clapped their hands in twos and threes.
Only then did Fu Xiupei notice that these children were different from ordinary children.
Cheng Lan pushed him, "Don't be stunned, come over and help."
"Ah? How can I help? What should I do?"
"Just follow me."
"oh."
Cheng Lan has been volunteering over the years. Whenever there are similar activities in the capital, as long as work can be arranged, she will go. Not only her, Lu Yiheng, Jiang Fanxing, and Song Tang also often volunteer
By.
Cheng Lan picked up a little girl and found that the little girl couldn't even sit up. She knelt down, turned to Fu Xiupei and said, "Here, support her."
Fu Xiupei didn't dare to move. He had never been in contact with this kind of children.
"Don't be afraid, she's not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Come on, give her your hand, hold her leg with the other hand, and let her sit."
Fu Xiupei did as he was told. The little girl in front of him seemed older than the other children, about five years old, but she looked strange, with wide-set eyes and an open mouth.
The aunt was dressing the other children and said with a smile: "Wow, our sister Jingjing is smiling. She must be shy because she is being supported by her handsome brother."
Cheng Lan asked the child, "Is your name Jingjing?"
The girl nodded, but her eyes were not focused.
"Hello Jingjing, I am sister Lanlan and he is uncle Peipei."
Fu Xiupei looked at her dryly, "Why is he uncle?"
Cheng Lan laughed, "Oh, forget it, let's call him Brother Peipei. Did Jingjing remember it?"
Jingjing laughed out loud and drooled a lot. She felt embarrassed and said shyly: "Sister Lanlan, brother Peipei, hello."
Although the speech is unclear, you can still hear it.
Cheng Lan wiped her saliva with a cotton handkerchief and praised her, "Jingjing is great. Is Jingjing the big sister of this dormitory?"
"Well, I'm eight years old..."
"Wow, no wonder Jingjing is so good at talking. It's awesome."
Fu Xiupei was dumbfounded. The eight-year-old child couldn't sit still and looked strange. Looking at the other children, he found that they all looked similar.
He finally realized what this place was.
Children's Welfare Homes, also known as safety islands, are home to helpless orphans, unidentified children who have been abducted and trafficked, and children who have been abandoned due to various genetic diseases.
I had only seen it on TV media before, but now that I saw it with my own eyes, Fu Xiupei was greatly shocked.
