"I will come back with Xiaomei often in the future. I will add her as a friend for easy contact."
Zhu Tianlei smiled and explained the reason. Although he was a little confused as to why Zhu Tianlei would change the topic to this, Su Yuhong still clicked on her WeChat QR code, and there was a beep, and the friend was approved.
Immediately afterwards, a transfer message appeared on Su Yuhong’s WeChat.
"50000?"
Su Yuhong thought she had seen it wrong and couldn't help but rub her eyes.
"Yes, Teacher Su, 0W will repair the dormitory building of the orphanage. The remaining 50,000 will also be used to repair other places. If the money is not enough, you can always tell me."
"Tian Lei, this is not possible, how can we ask for your money?"
Xie Hongchi stood up in surprise and waved her hand in refusal.
"Dean Xie, don't be polite to me. The orphanage is Xiaomei's home and my Zhu Tianlei's home. When the family encounters difficulties, it is only natural to lend a helping hand!"
Zhu Tianlei also stood up and said with a smile.
"this......"
"Then I'll accept it. On behalf of the orphanage, I'd like to thank you and Xiaomei!"
Teacher Su was more generous than Xie Hongchi, and he just clicked and collected the money.
"Oh, Tianlei, this is really... I am the director of the orphanage, and repairing the dormitories is originally within my scope of responsibility. I have tried not to cause trouble to the children over the years. If Xiaomei knows...
...My old face..."
"Dean, don't worry, this is a secret between the three of us, I won't tell Xiaomei!"
After Zhu Tianlei finished speaking, he winked at Xie Hongchiu, and Teacher Su also laughed.
After chatting with Xie Hongchi for a few more words, he heard a burst of laughter outside the window. Zhu Tianlei turned his head and looked over, just in time to see Hao Xinmei and several children playing the game of eagle and chicken outside.
Under the sun, the ice-cold goddess was so warm that it burned her eyes.
The corners of Zhu Tianlei's mouth curled up slightly. He hoped that Hao Xinmei would have such a smile on his face for the rest of his life.
...
"Brother, I like Snow White the most. Who do you like best?"
Because Zhu Tianlei later joined the children's games and quickly mingled with them. During the break, six-year-old Xiao Yunyun pulled Zhu Tianlei and asked innocently.
"Big brother likes it the most... He likes our little Yunyun the most!"
Xiao Yunyun was abandoned by his parents and suffered from congenital heart disease. Therefore, his face was always pale and there was an abnormal blush on each cheek.
Zhu Tianlei took her pulse and found that Xiao Yunyun's heart disease was an organic congenital defect. With his current ability, there was no way to treat it.
But Zhu Tianlei secretly swore in his heart that he would try his best to practice spiritual medicine and cure Xiao Yunyun's illness.
"Tian Lei, it's time to eat. I want you to taste the food in our orphanage."
It was noon in the blink of an eye. Dean Xie repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, and the children were reluctant to leave. In the end, the two of them decided to stay for lunch.
The cafeteria is not big. It is a room of 70 to 80 square meters. There are more than a dozen integrated dining tables and chairs in the room. Next to it is a dining table with several four or five large stainless steel basins on it.
"Brother, it's meat!"
Xiao Yunyun held the dinner plate, looked at the slightly fatty pork belly and shouted excitedly.
For some reason, Zhu Tianlei's nose felt a little sore.
In today's era, not to mention the city, even in Haadou Valley, eating meat is not difficult. How can a child be so close to meat?
Hao Xinmei helped Zhu Tianlei prepare rice, including braised pork and potatoes, vinegar-stewed potato shreds, fungus and cabbage slices, and an egg drop soup with just a few oil stars floating around and no egg drop at all.
"Do children usually eat these?"
Zhu Tianlei felt a little distressed. He looked around and saw that there were about forty or fifty children sitting in the cafeteria. In addition to children as old as Xiao Yunyun, there were also children one or two years old, and the most were around ten years old. At this time, these children
They gathered around the dinner plate and stuffed the food into their mouths one after another, as if they were afraid that if they ate too slowly, they would lose it.
"I can't help it. I recently heard that the higher authorities are going to close down the orphanage and move Angel Love to a newly opened welfare home in the city. Dean Xie is worried about this!"
Hao Xinmei took a bite of the fungus on the plate, her tone slightly melancholy.
"That should be a good thing. The welfare homes under the government should be able to keep up with both hardware and software. It is also a good thing for the children. I just don't know if the work of Director Xie and these staff can be arranged together.
Already."
From Zhu Tianlei's point of view, this matter is indeed a good thing, at least he doesn't have to worry about the cost of repairing the house.
"If only it were as simple as you say!"
"Is there anything else?"
After getting along for a long time, Zhu Tianlei and Hao Xinmei also formed a tacit understanding. Hao Xinmei's sigh made Zhu Tianlei smell something unusual.
"The orphanage was banned not because of its own reasons, but because a developer took a fancy to this piece of land and wanted to build a building here. This developer has a very strong background. It is said that the city values it very much. People are attracting investment.
Director Lu of the bureau personally received it, and the relocation mobilization meeting has been held several times. By the end of April at the most, the orphanage will probably have to move!"
Speaking of this matter, Hao Xinmei's pretty face became filled with a layer of gloom.
"There's no turning back on this matter?"
"The cooperation agreement between the developer and the China Merchants Group has been signed, so there is no room left. This may be the last meal I eat in the orphanage."
"Does Dean Xie know about this?"
Hao Xinmei raised his head and glanced at Zhu Tianlei doubtfully.
"What are you thinking about? I know everything about it, how could the dean not know about it?"
Zhu Tianlei's eyes dimmed and he said no more.
After lunch, Hao Xinmei was taken away by two children, who said they wanted to see their new paintings.
Zhu Tianlei wandered around the orphanage alone.
Although the orphanage is not big, the supporting facilities are pretty good, including simple fitness equipment, a musical instrument room, and even a dedicated medical room.
He kept walking along the corridor of the dormitory building. Because it was lunch break, the younger children had already taken a nap, so there was no one in the corridor.
Suddenly, Zhu Tianlei saw a little girl standing at the end of the corridor. He was about to say hello to the little girl, but she quickly disappeared from the end of the corridor like a frightened rabbit.
A strange feeling spread in Zhu Tianlei's heart.
By some strange coincidence, he followed the little girl in the direction where she disappeared.
But when Zhu Tianlei reached the end of the corridor, he did not see the little girl. The child seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
How is this possible? He leaned towards the window and saw that the downstairs was empty.
At this moment, there was a sudden thud at the corner under the stairs. Zhu Tianlei bent over and saw that there was a door under the stairs. As soon as he turned over, he was standing at the door. (To be continued)
