Shen Qiu, who was walking behind, was also sprinkled with dog food. He shook his head slightly and walked forward along the street.
Looking at the familiar buildings along the way, he felt very happy and felt like he was home.
Although I lived a very poor life in the orphanage, I was also quite happy. Except for sometimes not being able to eat, everything else was pretty good.
After walking for about ten minutes, you could see in the distance an area of more than 50 acres on the street ahead, which was surrounded by iron railings.
Through the iron railings, you can see the old buildings inside, some of which have peeled off their surface insulation.
Shen Qiu then quickened his pace and soon arrived at the main entrance.
At this time, the main door was closed, and there was a peeled-off door plate with the words Shengyin Welfare Institute written on it.
"Shen Qiu?"
Suddenly an uncertain voice sounded behind him.
Shen Qiu turned around and looked over, only to see a woman wearing a floral dress, holding a blue bag in her hand, and a little freckles on her face, and asked uncertainly.
"Zhao Lian, you are here too."
Shen Qiu recognized at a glance that he was from the same batch of orphans. If he remembered correctly, Zhao Lian was the kind who didn't talk much.
"Well, are there any other companions coming?"
Zhao Lian nodded shyly and asked.
"I'm not sure. I basically haven't contacted you much. Let's go in first."
Shen Qiu shook his head.
"good!"
Zhao Lian nodded quickly in response.
Shen Qiu stepped forward and pressed the doorbell. Soon, an old man with almost all his teeth came out of the gate and shouted inarticulately.
"I'm coming."
Zhao Lian looked at the uncle and said with a smile.
"Grandpa Wu, I thought you retired."
"Oh, it's you two! Why are you here so late? Everyone else has already arrived. I'll open the door for you right now."
Uncle Wu looked at Zhao Lian and Shen Qiu and opened the door very happily.
"Something has delayed me. Is the dean here?"
Shen Qiu asked with a smile.
"Here, she is in the public hall of the main building. You can just go there. You should still remember the way."
Uncle Wu replied very happily.
"We know each other, let's go first."
Shen Qiu nodded and led Zhao Lian towards the main building in front.
Looking at the fruit trees and old play equipment along the road, Shen Qiu was also a little touched.
Zhao Lian, who was following Shen Qiu, wanted to reminisce about old times, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know what to talk about, and couldn't find a topic for a while.
Shen Qiu didn't notice anything strange about Zhao Lian, and he strode forward.
Soon the two of them approached the main building and heard the sounds of very excited children playing inside.
Shen Qiu opened the door and walked in. In front of him was an empty activity hall, with hundreds of children aged three to seven, excitedly surrounding more than sixty people.
If you look closely, you will see that although the clothes these children are wearing are a bit old, everyone is clean.
Many of these children have physical defects, some have deformed hands and feet, some are blind, etc.
The people surrounded were holding milk and candies and handing them out with smiles on their faces.
Shen Qiu glanced at them and found that except for a few older people he didn't recognize, the others were all acquaintances.
At this time, Shen Qiu felt someone tugging on her pants.
Shen Qiu looked down and saw a little boy about 4 years old, timidly pulling on Shen Qiu's pants and asking.
"Brother, can you give me a candy? I want to give it to my best friend. She is sick and can't come."
Shen Qiu touched his pocket, his expression stiffened, and he turned to look at Zhao Lian.
"Do you have any?"
"I came in such a hurry and I didn't bring it with me. Is this okay?"
Zhao Lian was also stunned, then opened her backpack and took out a biscuit.
"Uh-huh."
The little boy nodded happily.
Zhao Lian then bent down and handed the cookie to the little boy.
At this moment, the sound of clapping hands could be heard in the hall, and the excited children all fell silent.
Everyone followed the sound with their eyes.
I saw a woman in her fifties, wearing simple gray clothes, with wrinkles on her face and a kind expression, walking in from the back door. She said to all the children.
"Children, please go back to your room first."
"good!"
Almost all the children replied very obediently.
Many children left together.
Shen Qiu and others walked towards the woman and greeted her one after another.
"Dean Anyuan."
"How is the director's health?"
Zhao Anyuan looked at the familiar faces and smiled sincerely.
"Okay, I've been fine. I feel even better now that I can see you guys back."
"Don't say that, it's because we don't come back often to visit."
Several girls said with slightly red eyes.
Zhao Anyuan patted their shoulders and said with a smile.
"Don't blame yourself, I know very well that you are also running for life."
"Uuuu~ Dean."
The girls also choked up.
At this time, a man wearing a fur coat and a beer belly spoke.
"Ahem, let's catch up on old times later and get down to business first."
"Huang Gin is right, let's get down to business first."
The rest of the people present also echoed.
"Okay, let's get down to business first. Just do your best and don't force yourself."
Zhao Anyuan said to everyone kindly.
"I'll take the lead and donate 120W!"
After Huang Gin finished speaking, he took out a check and handed it to Zhao Anyuan.
"As expected of Brother Huang, he is very powerful in his actions. Although I am not as good as Brother Huang, I can still do my part. I will donate 5,000."
A girl with a lively personality and ordinary clothes took out an envelope containing 5,000 alliance coins and handed it to Zhao Anyuan.
"I will donate 3,000!"
"I will donate 10,000!"
Everyone present donated one after another, but excluding the 120W donated by Huang Gin, the highest donation was only 8W.
At this time, a man wearing a white shirt and a black suit with a calm expression spoke.
"Dean Anyuan, I won't donate money. After all, my salary is not as good as Huangxin. However, I have brought a batch of materials donated by public welfare organizations, including food and clothing, which should be able to relieve the welfare of the orphanage." urgent need."
"Cao Kun, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Anyuan stretched out her hand to hold Cao Kun's hand and said very happily.
The companions next to him praised him one after another.
"As expected of me, Brother Cao, you are the best among us. I heard that you have become a high official."
"Don't say that, it's just a slight achievement."
Cao Kun said with a smile.
Shen Qiu walked up at this time, picked up the black bag in his hand and handed it to Zhao Anyuan.
"Dean An, this is fifty thousand."
Zhao Anyuan reached out and took it, put it on the table nearby, and said happily.
"Shen Qiu, you're here too. I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Hey~ isn't this Shen Qiu? I thought you didn't come."
Huang Gin looked at Shen Qiu teasingly.
"Just arrived!"
Shen Qiu nodded slightly and replied.
"I'm talking about Shen Qiu, it seems that we haven't had much contact since we became adults. I remember that I thought you went to the best university and became famous after you graduated. Have you forgotten about us?"
Huang Gin said to Shen Qiu playfully.
"There's no such thing. Besides, I can't compare to you."
Shen Qiu shook his head and replied.
"Oh~ I can't believe you can say this from your mouth. Stop doing this."
Huang Gin said complainingly.
"Okay, we're not kids anymore, so don't blame each other. But Shen Qiu, you should contact Huang Gin and the others more when you have time. After all, we played so well before."
Zhao Anyuan said with a smile to smooth things over.
"good."
Shen Qiu also showed a wry smile. Of course he knew that Huang Gin was annoyed and was deliberately trying to squeeze him.
