Chapter 36: Donate
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 my life in the orphanage was quite poor, I was also quite happy. Except sometimes I can't eat, everything else is 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 buildings have peeled off their surface insulation.
Shen Qiu then quickened his pace and soon arrived at the main entrance.
The main door was closed at this time, and there was a peeled-off door number with the words Shengyin Welfare Institute written on it.
"Chen Qiu?"
Suddenly an uncertain voice sounded behind him.
Shen Qiu turned around and saw 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're here too."
Shen Qiu recognized at a glance that he was from the same batch of orphans. If I remember correctly, Zhao Lian was the kind of person who didn't talk much.
"Well, are there any other companions coming?"
Zhao Lian asked with a shy nod.
"I'm not sure. I basically haven't contacted him much. Let's go in first."
Shen Qiu shook his head.
"Okay!"
Zhao Lian nodded quickly.
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.
"Coming, 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 almost arrived, so I'll open the door for you guys right now," Uncle Wu looked at
Zhao Lian and Shen Qiu 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 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 felt a little touched.
Zhao Lian, who was following Shen Qiu, wanted to reminisce about the past, 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, so 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, facing an empty activity hall. Hundreds of children aged three to seven were excitedly surrounding more than 60 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 handing out milk and candies with smiles on their faces.
Shen Qiu glanced at them and found that except for a few older ones he didn't recognize, the others were all acquaintances.
At this time, Shen Qiu felt someone tugging on his 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 froze, and he turned to look at Zhao Lian.
"Did you bring it?"
"I came in such a hurry and I didn't bring it either. Is this okay?"
Zhao Lian was also stunned, then opened her backpack and took out a biscuit.
"Yeah."
The little boy nodded happily.
Zhao Lian then bent down and handed the biscuits 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 plain gray clothes, with wrinkles on her face and a kind expression, walking in from the back door. She said to all the children.
"Children, could you please go back to your room first?"
"Okay!"
Almost all the children replied obediently. Many children left together.
Shen Qiu and others walked towards the woman and greeted her one after another.
"Dean Anyuan."
"Is dean okay?"
Zhao Anyuan looked at the familiar faces and smiled sincerely.
"Okay, I've always been fine. I feel better when I can see you guys back." "
Don't say that, it's because we don't come back often."
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."
"Uuu~ Dean."
The girls also choked.
At this time, a man wearing a fur coat and a beer belly spoke.
"Ahem, let's catch up on old times later and do business first."
"Huang Gin is right, do business first."
Others present also agreed.
"Okay, let's get down to business first. Just do your best. Don't be too reluctant."
Zhao Anyuan said to everyone kindly.
"I'll take the lead, I'll donate 1.2 million!"
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. 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 a bag containing 5,000 alliance coins. The envelope was handed to Zhao Anyuan.
"I donate 3,000!"
"I donate 10,000!"
Everyone present started to donate, but excluding the 1.2 million donated by Huang Gin, the highest donation was only 8 million.
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 Huang Ginseng. However, I have brought a batch of materials donated by public welfare organizations, including food and clothing. It should be able to relieve the welfare of the orphanage." It's an urgent matter."
"Cao Kun, thank you for your hard work."
Zhao Anyuan stretched out her hand to hold Cao Kun's hand and said happily.
The companions next to him praised him one after another.
"As expected of my 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 beside her, 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 weren't here."
Huang Gin looked at Shen Qiu jokingly.
"Just here!"
Shen Qiu replied with a slight nod.
"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 us?" Huang Gin asked Shen Qiu playfully
. said.
"That's not the case. Besides, I can't compare to you."
Shen Qiu shook his head and replied.
"Ouch~ I can't believe what you can say 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 keep in touch with Huang Gin and the others when you have time. After all, we played so well before." Zhao Anyuan said with a smile to smooth things over
.
"Okay."
Shen Qiu also showed a wry smile. Of course he knew that Huang Gin was annoyed and was deliberately trying to squeeze him.
