Looking at the beautiful little girl in the slightly yellowed photo in his hand, Zhang Qian couldn't help but sigh deeply.
In the end, Zhang Qian did not show his cards to Zhao Anru, but chose to leave her apartment.
Although Zhang Qian wanted to know all the information and secrets about the x-drug that changed his body's genes, he still felt that this was not the time to confess.
So, Zhang Qian rushed back to his home after get off work, took out the notebook that had been in the drawer for a long time, and found this photo inside the notebook.
The photo and the photo placed on the cabinet of Zhao Anru's apartment were taken at about the same time. It is now certain that Zhao Anru's father is the middle-aged man Zhang Qian collided with and fell to the ground in the alley that day. The girl in the photo is Zhao Anru in her childhood.
As for why Zhao Anru's father appeared in Andu County, Zhang Qian had a vague guess. Judging from the panic and hurried escape of Zhao Anru's father at that time, it is likely that something big happened to him. He fled to Andu County because he wanted to
He met his daughter, but was discovered by the person who was chasing him, so that he bumped into him in the alley. As for who was chasing him, and why he disappeared for no reason, this was not something Zhang Qian could imagine.
.
"Zhao Anru must know some inside stories and secrets here. Should I tell Zhao Anru about this?" Zhang Qian frowned and leaned on the chair still hesitant. I don't know why, but Zhang Qian always feels bad.
I had a premonition that Zhao Anru's father must be a great person, and being associated with such a person would probably lead to him falling into even greater trouble and whirlpool in the future, and by then it would be too late to escape even if he wanted to.
But the problem is, if the ins and outs of the x potion are not clarified, Zhang Qian will never feel at ease. While this secret has brought changes to his life, it has obviously also caused him great trouble.
With his thoughts disturbed, Zhang Qian put the photos back into his notebook, straightened his clothes and left the bedroom.
Today is Sunday. Zhang Qian specifically asked Captain Wang for a day off and planned to go to the orphanage to do volunteer work. Volunteering, as the name suggests, is a volunteer. This is what Zhang Qian's father Zhang Hailong asked him to do when he was still in elementary school.
Although he is said to be a volunteer, what he has to do is actually very simple, just help the orphanage clean up and clean the environment. This kind of volunteer service comes once a quarter. With the reminder from his father Zhang Hailong, Zhang Qian naturally dare not forget it.
In the past, Zhang Qian had always wondered why his father asked him to do volunteer work and persisted for so many years. Later, when he saw the poor children without parents in the orphanage, he gradually understood his father's intentions. Although the living environment of the Zhang family is relatively difficult,
But at least the family is happy and harmonious, which is much better than the orphans without parents. If you can help them a little, then do it. This is what you should do.
The orphanage in Andu County is located to the north of the old city of Andu County. Although it is no longer as prosperous as before, it is bordered by the new city after all, and there is still an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going. This orphanage is sponsored by the Red Cross Society
Yes, the name is Red Cross Orphanage.
When he arrived at the entrance of the orphanage, Zhang Qian said a familiar hello to the guard and walked in. In the past, his father Zhang Hailong often brought him here when he was a child. Later, Zhang Hailong's health failed and he came alone. After so many years
Everything in the orphanage was naturally familiar to him when he came down.
"Hey, Zhang Qian, are you here?" Before he walked into the two-story building, he saw an old man watering the flower bed outside who smiled kindly at him and waved his hand.
Zhang Qian showed a familiar smile and hurriedly walked over to take the kettle from the old man's hand. He said with some dissatisfaction, "Dean Wu, you should pay more attention to rest at such an old age. We young people can do these tasks."
The old man in front of him was the founder of the orphanage. He was probably over 60 years old this year. Seeing Zhang Qian take the kettle neatly, he smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "When you get older,
You need to exercise more, it will be strange if you sit still and don’t get rusty. It’s better for you young men, but it won’t work..."
"Look at what you said, Director Wu, you are always strong and strong." Zhang Qian sincerely admired this old man. The orphanage in Andu County is small, but the old man has spent his whole life on this orphanage.
On the way, many orphans without parents can feel the warmth of family again, and many homeless children have a temporary place to stay. He has been dedicated to the orphans all his life, and now the orphans have grown up, but he
But he is old.
"Is your father's illness getting better? Zhang Qian... You and your father are both good people. Good people will be rewarded. You don't have to worry too much." Dean Wu patted his shoulder lightly.
, said with sincerity and sincerity, "Life will be unsatisfactory 10% of the time, but some things are better to just let nature take its course."
Zhang Qian was a little confused at first as to why Dean Wu was speaking inexplicably, but he immediately remembered the decadent and absent-minded way he had given up on himself when he came here as a volunteer three months ago. He couldn't help but understand something, and smiled and said, "Dean Wu, don't worry.
, my heart has opened up, and I will no longer give up on myself. My dad's illness has also begun to improve. When he recovers, I will definitely bring him to see you, Dean Wu."
Zhang Qian was telling the truth. His father's health improved significantly after the first lung lavage operation. Not only did his mental state improve, but even his coughing became much better. This strengthened his determination to work hard to make money to treat his father's illness.
.If it were Zhang Qian three months ago, he would definitely not have full confidence, but now he clearly shows some confidence.
It was this bit of self-confidence that made Dean Wu smile with satisfaction, nodded and said, "Okay, it's good to untie the knot in my heart. Good boy, now you are so caring and have persisted for so many years."
There are fewer and fewer young people doing volunteer work. In the future, they will definitely have good luck and everything will be fine!"
"Thank you, Dean Wu, for your kindness. Don't worry, leave this place to me and I'll make sure it's clean for you." Zhang Qian smiled and said hello to Dean Wu, and then started working enthusiastically.
The orphanage is actually not big. It is an old house with two floors. After Zhang Qian spent more than an hour cleaning the ground and yard, he spent nearly half an hour wiping the bed and windows in the bedroom clean and tidy.
Finally, we basically cleaned up the orphanage from the inside out. In fact, the orphanage itself is not very dirty. After all, a nanny is usually hired to do the cleaning, so cleaning it basically doesn’t take much effort. The real start is
The most laborious part is actually the area outside the orphanage.
The Andu County Red Cross Orphanage is located next to Sanchakou Street. There is a small park similar to a green belt in front of the yard. The uncles and aunts nearby usually enjoy the cool air in this park when they have free time. Zhang Qian is the hardest working volunteer.
The job is to clean this seemingly small but still crowded park.
Sweating like rain, working people are the most glorious. When Zhang Qian came to the small park, he started pulling weeds, checking garbage, sweeping the floor and other tasks like a hard-working gardener. Although it was hot and sweating profusely, Zhang Qian felt that
His whole body felt very comfortable while exercising. There were not many pedestrians in the park at this time, so he cleaned every corner of the park according to his old habit.
In fact, Zhang Qian didn't even know whether this park was the territory of the orphanage, but ever since his father Zhang Hailong brought him to the orphanage as a volunteer, every time he cleaned, he would also clean up the park, so he got used to it over time.
Zhang Qian didn't bother to ask, so everything remained as usual.
Some familiar aunts and uncles in the park said hello. Zhang Qian said hello to them one by one, wiped away his sweat, and bent down to start cleaning again.
"Young man, you're sweeping the floor in such a bright sun. You don't look like a cleaner, right?" While Zhang Qian was cleaning, there was a tall man sitting on the long stone bench next to him, about fifty years old.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a white shirt and trousers looked at him for a few times, then patted the stone bench next to him and said, "Come, sit down, have a rest, and drink some water."
Zhang Qian saw that this middle-aged man looked very rich and dressed very formally, and he didn't look like a bad guy, so he walked over unceremoniously, opened his mineral water bottle, took a few sips, wiped his mouth and said with a smile, "I
I'm not a cleaner, I'm a volunteer at this orphanage, and I come here to help them clean the area once a quarter. Uncle, I don't think I've seen you before, are you unfamiliar?"
"Oh? I... don't come here very often. Haha, it seems you are familiar with this neighborhood? Yes, I am indeed not a resident of the neighborhood." The middle-aged man smiled and took off his sunglasses.
As soon as his deep eyes were revealed, the momentum of his entire face rose in vain, immediately giving Zhang Qian a sense of oppression.
This sense of oppression, to be precise, is more like a domineering momentum. Zhang Qian has felt it in others before, such as Wang Zhiqing. What is certain is that the middle-aged man in front of him is definitely not a small person, otherwise he would not be able to
He has this kind of subtle momentum.
"Hello little brother, my surname is Zhang. You can call me Uncle Zhang if you have a long bow. Are you familiar with everyone around here?" This Uncle Zhang seems to have a strong aura, but in fact he seems to be very serious when he smiles.
Zhang Qian's sense of oppression immediately disappeared due to his amiability.
Zhang Qian replied hurriedly and politely, "Hello, Uncle Zhang. What a coincidence. My surname is Zhang and my name is Zhang Qian. I am currently a student about to graduate from the third grade of junior high school. I can't say that I am familiar with this area, but I grew up near the orphanage.
I have been coming here all the time, so I am quite familiar with this area.
Uncle Zhang was stunned, and then looked at him carefully for a few times, then showed a look of surprise, and seemed to be a little excited, "Your surname is Zhang too? Have you been coming to this place since you were a child? Could it be that... you came from an orphanage?"
