Chapter 37 The Meaning of Life
Cao Kun saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he changed the subject and asked.
"Are we the only ones, Dean An, who have returned? Is there anyone else? There are too few people, right?" "There are quite a few
. Some people can't get through, so they just wire money over. And I don't always do it." Everyone is sending this message. I am sending this message because I know your current situation. In fact, many of your brothers and sisters are in a very bad situation and are still struggling to survive. Not to mention those brothers and sisters outside the city who are in a difficult situation. It’s even more difficult, as the welfare home still has to subsidize them every year.”
Zhao Anyuan explained with a sigh.
After hearing Zhao Anyuan's words, everyone present fell silent.
Shengyin Welfare Home is the largest welfare home in the City of Clear Sky. Every year, it adopts a large number of abandoned infants and orphans that exceed the standard.
Most of these adopted children have physical problems.
After they reach adulthood, it is actually difficult for them to support themselves.
We must know that in reality, it is difficult for normal people to survive, let alone those with physical problems.
But according to the laws of Sunny Sky City, after the age of eighteen, no matter whether you can support yourself or not, you cannot stay in the orphanage.
However, thanks to Zhao Anyuan's efforts, Shengyin Welfare Home has a privilege that other welfare homes do not have.
That is, the children in this orphanage have the opportunity to fight for the right to settle in the City of Sunny Sky.
Of course the conditions are very harsh.
One of the hard and fast rules is that you must go to college.
And Shen Qiu was the most outstanding of their group of children. Not only was he admitted to the best university in the City of Sunny Sky, the University of Saint-Bori, he also received a full scholarship.
"Okay, it's rare for you guys to come back, so be happy. By the way, do you still remember something?"
Zhao Anyuan asked kindly.
"What happened?"
Huang Gin was slightly startled and couldn't remember.
"This is the question I left for you when you were about to leave the orphanage as adults. Do you remember what I said then?"
Zhao Anyuan reminded with a smile.
"Remember, dean, you asked us, what is the meaning of our lives? You asked us to give a clear answer the next time we return to the orphanage." Cao Kun repeated the question
for Zhao Anyuan.
"Well, now that you are back, let's talk about it!"
Zhao Anyuan looked at everyone kindly, like a mother looking at her children.
Shen Qiu and others looked at each other and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Zhao Anyuan then turned to look at Huang Gin and said.
"Huang Gin, have you thought about that problem
clearly?" "I have thought it through a long time ago. I think the meaning of life is to pursue money. I want to make a lot of money. The more, the better."
Huang Gin replied without hesitation . .
Zhao Anyuan smiled and turned to look at Cao Kun and asked.
"What about you?"
Cao Kun pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's rights. This is my goal."
Zhao Anyuan looked at Zhao Lian.
"I think it's good to be plain."
Zhao Lian thought for a while and said.
Zhao Anyuan smiled and turned to look at a woman wearing a white shawl-style top and a black skirt.
"What about you, Qiu Li?"
"I think the meaning of life is to have a warm harbor."
Qiu Li replied softly.
Standing aside, Cao Kun couldn't help but take another look at Qiu Li.
"Yeah!"
"Dean, I think happiness is the most important, and one should pursue happiness in life." "
I think the meaning of life is to witness more things."
The rest of the people also reported their thoughts.
After Zhao Anyuan listened to everyone's words, she turned to look at Shen Qiu.
"Where are you, Shen Qiu?"
Shen Qiu was slightly startled, then said. "Sorry! I don't know, I haven't understood it yet."
Everyone laughed when they heard Shen Qiu's words.
Zhao Anyuan stretched out her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and she said to everyone.
"Actually, your ideas are all correct! Go for whatever you like and find it meaningful, but remember one thing, don't lose your original intention, otherwise you won't be yourself." "Understood, Yin
. Long."
Shen Qiu and others responded one after another.
Dean Zhao Anyuan nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Shen Qiu and others.
"It's almost noon. Lunch has been prepared for you. You can eat together. I'll go and deal with the money you donated. We'll catch up on old times later. I'm looking forward to you telling me about your life over the years." "Yeah
. ."
Shen Qiu and others nodded in response.
At this time, a middle-aged woman with a serious expression, a serious expression, and a very old-fashioned look came over and said to Shen Qiu and others.
"Come with me."
"Aunt Qiao!"
Qiu Li and others saw the middle-aged woman and stepped forward to hold her hand very excitedly.
Aunt Qiao's stern face couldn't help but reveal a smile, and she spoke.
"Don't act like a child. He's grown up."
"Yeah, yeah."
Shen Qiu also showed a rare smile while watching this scene. The image of everyone being chased by Aunt Qiao flashed through his mind.
After a while, Shen Qiu and others came to the cafeteria.
Dean Zhao Anyuan specially arranged a long table for them, which can accommodate all of them.
There were plates of hot dishes on the table.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes like green onion tofu, cabbage stew, and white steamed buns.
But even the richest man, Huang Gin, didn’t have any dissatisfaction. Everyone just talked about it.
"Aunt Qiao, it's so rich."
"Wherever it's rich, it's just ordinary dishes. You can eat together and catch up on old times. I'm going to greet the children first."
Aunt Qiao shook her head and said to everyone.
"Okay, Aunt Qiao, go ahead and do your work. We'll take care of ourselves."
Huang Gin and others took their seats with a smile.
Shen Qiu immediately followed suit and found a seat to sit down.
Cao Kun took the lead and picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile.
"We are all brothers and sisters, let's not say any polite words and just start eating."
"Okay!"
Shen Qiu and others took a steamed bun and started eating with vegetables.
At the dining table, everyone began to reminisce about old times while eating.
Huang Gin then laughed and chatted with Qiu Li.
"Qiu Li, I haven't heard from you in many years. What are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just taking care of the kids at home."
Qiu Li replied softly.
"Qiu Li, are you married? Who are you married to? Could it be?"
Many sisters present looked at Cao Kun. Unfortunately, when they saw Cao Kun's expression was a little gloomy, they immediately realized and stopped speculating.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly felt a little awkward.
Shen Qiu looked at this scene and sighed slightly in his heart.
He had a good relationship with Huang Gin and Cao Kun in the past, so he knew very well about Cao Kun and Qiu Li. Unexpectedly, things had changed, and the two of them still didn't get together.
"Ahem, let's not talk about that. Speaking of which, the recent price increase is really outrageous."
A male companion laughed and changed the subject.
