Chapter 888 Crisis in the Orphanage

Xiao Bing and Lang Gui sat down. After Lang Gui's introduction, Xiao Bing knew that the proprietress was Lang Gui's woman. They had been married for many years. Lang Gui had already married when he was just twenty years old. He had not been admitted to college at that time. , he directly inherited his father's business and started selling pies. Later, his father was seriously ill, so he sold the shop to treat his father's illness. Unfortunately, he was still unable to recover. Later, his shop disappeared, and he also disappeared. He and his wife opened a breakfast shop here, selling mutton pies and mutton soup. They even had a five-year-old baby, who was older than Xiao Mingyue, of course. , only on the surface.

Xiao Bing felt in his heart that although Lang Gui's life was relatively hard now, he was actually quite happy. When Lang Gui was just two or three years old, his biological mother ran away with a wealthy man who became prosperous after going into business. Later, he His father lived alone with him, and his life gradually became richer. Although he was not a wealthy family, he was at least a well-off family. Their mutton pie was becoming more and more popular.

However, in comparison, Lang Gui's daughter-in-law was able to agree with Lang Gui's sale of the family shop to treat Lang Gui's father. Later, after Lang Gui had nothing, she accompanied him here to sell breakfast in the sun. With this, she is a good woman, and Lang Gui is a good-looking woman, with talent in her belly, fat head, big ears, and unattractive appearance. Although her wife is not a great beauty, she is still very good-looking. pretty good.

Lang Gui glanced at Xiao Mingyue, and then said with a smile: "Don't bother with my introduction here, you can also tell me, is this your child? When did you get married?"

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "This is my daughter. I haven't gotten married yet, but she will get married soon, within two years."

Lang Gui was startled and said in surprise: "Brother Bing always does things that I can't see clearly. You are boarding the ship first and then paying for the ticket. The child is so old and you don't give him a title. Sister-in-law Don’t you have any objections?”

Xiao Bing really didn't know how to explain this problem, so he just smiled and didn't explain anything further.

When Lang Gui saw that Xiao Bing was unwilling to say anything, he would not ask further questions. He touched Xiao Mingyue's head and said with a naive smile: "Your daughter is really pretty."

After looking at the shed, Xiao Bing asked casually: "Your business here is pretty good."

Lang Guihan smiled and said: "I also know these craftsmanship, and I just rely on this craftsmanship to make a living."

"But your pies are so delicious. Just selling them in the morning market is a bit overkill." Xiao Bing suddenly thought of an idea and asked, "Are you interested in continuing to open a store?"

"Open a shop?" Lang Gui looked at Xiao Bing in disbelief and said excitedly, "Think about it, think about it, this is my Lang family's lifelong craftsmanship. My father relied on this to support me back then, and the store was also built. It was so exciting, but I was sold in the end, how could I be willing to do so, but I have no capital!"

Lang Gui smiled bitterly and said: "With the current housing prices, especially for retail housing, even if it is not in a good location, the annual rent is at least one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. How can I have that kind of money?"

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "What if I am willing to invest in you?"

"You?" Lang Gui's eyes widened and he looked at Xiao Bing with excitement, but after thinking about it, he shook his head.

Xiao Bing asked curiously: "What, you don't want to?"

Xiao Bing turned to look at the proprietress who was also excited and asked, "Brother and sister, aren't you willing too?"

The proprietress looked at Lang Gui with an eager look, expecting Lang Gui to agree. However, Lang Gui shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "It's not that I don't want to, of course I am willing, but I can't ask for your money." . When I was a child, you were the one who protected me in school. Now that I have grown up, although we had a good relationship back then, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Just after we met, I asked you to pay for me to open a store. I can’t do this kind of thing! "

Xiao Bing sighed: "Well, you have looked stupid since you were a child, but you are actually not stupid at all. I only helped you once, and since then you have to bring me a piece of stuffing every day when you go to school. Pancake, when I was in school, everyone looked down on me because I was an orphan. Some were afraid of me, some were afraid of me, and some despised me. But only you, a silly guy, regarded me as your elder brother. Just because of this, you Now that you have fallen down, I will help you. Don’t worry, I won’t do loss-making business. I will open a pie shop in the city center, and it will be a pie shop with an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. When the time comes, I will If you hold shares but don’t become the boss, you and your wife will take the shares and be responsible for managing the store and providing technology. The pie shop will be called Lang’s Pie!"

"Lang's pie, Lang's pie..." Lang Gui was so excited that his eyes were red. He grabbed Xiao Bing's shoulders and said, "Brother Bing, you were my eldest brother before, and you will still be...I, Lang Gui, owe you It’s yours!”

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "No matter what you owe, we are just brothers, why do you need to say that? If you say such things to me again, you will be out of touch, not to mention that I am also interested in your craftsmanship, so In order to make money. Others may not know, but I don’t know what you are capable of, Agui. You don’t pay much attention to learning, but you are smarter than those who seem to be smart. Skills are basically learned. I can do whatever I want, and there’s nothing you can’t learn, so I feel at ease doing business with you.”

Lang Gui nodded excitedly.

Xiao Bing finished eating, stood up, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't disturb you and your wife's business. Gui, please give me your phone number and I will contact you later."

Lang Gui hurriedly told Xiao Bing his cell phone number, and Xiao Bing dialed it with his own cell phone. The two of them put their numbers in their hands. Xiao Bing waved his hand, took Xiao Mingyue's hand and walked away.

Xiao Mingyue said: "Dad, I haven't given you the money yet."

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "You can't pay him for this meal, otherwise I will look down on him. No matter how miserable my brother is now, he can still afford a meal."

Xiao Bing left dignity to Lang Gui.

Lang Gui's face was a little red with excitement at this time. His wife beside him said with some doubts: "Agui, is this person reliable? Is he trying to fool us?"

"No." Lang Gui said with a serious face, "Anyone's words in the world may be unreliable, but the words of this good brother of mine, Agui, must be reliable. What he says is one, and what he says is two is two. , A man as upright as Brother Bing will never deceive us. Wife, our Lang’s pie shop is going to reopen!"

Lang Gui's wife also accompanied him with an excited look on her face.

After Xiao Bing took Xiao Mingyue to stroll around the morning market, it was almost time, already nine o'clock in the morning, so he called a car and told the taxi a location so that the taxi could drive there.

As the taxi driver drove, he kept saying: "Brother, I see you already have a child. Why are you going to an orphanage? Usually people who don't have children at home may go there to adopt one. , but there are not many people who actually adopt them. There are many disabled children in the orphanage. Alas, they are all poor babies."

Xiao Bing thought of his own childhood and agreed. Many of the children in the orphanage were indeed very pitiful. Although every orphan was equally pitiful, Xiao Bing was at least healthy and had sound limbs, but There are many children in the orphanage who were born with disabilities by parents. In the end, they didn’t want their children to harm themselves, so they were sent directly to the orphanage. Some were even thrown directly into the hospital. No matter what, in the end I had no choice but to be sent to an orphanage by the hospital or the police.

Such parents are considered conscientious in comparison. Xiao Bing even heard that some parents threw their children directly into public toilets, and some directly threw them in the wilderness. If they were not discovered in time, they would probably have died. Dead, such parents are simply worse than animals, the poison of a tiger cannot eat its seeds!

The taxi driver said: "It's really good to have such an orphanage in the city. Alas, it's just that I guess it won't be able to continue running. It's such a pity."

Xiao Bing was shocked when he heard this, and asked with a surprised look on his face: "How come it can't be done anymore? It shouldn't be possible. This orphanage has been open for decades, hasn't it?"

"You are right. In the bad times in the past, the orphanage was still in business. Although it was really hard to rely only on government subsidies and donations from some caring people, at least the children were With enough food and clothing, this can at least be considered a home for those orphans. Hey, but now... this home will be torn apart by those whose consciences are being eaten by dogs."

Xiao Bing frowned, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, and asked: "Brother driver, tell me, what is going on?"

The taxi driver shook his head and said, "I just heard that the local Changping Real Estate wants to buy all the land around it, including the orphanage."

Xiao Bing frowned and said: "Even if this is the case, the orphanage is a public welfare organization, how can they buy it just as they say? And if they really want to buy it, they can negotiate and give a good price, and then move to another It’s a good place, so that’s not impossible!”

"Hey, are those black-hearted developers as kind-hearted as you? Anyway, I don't know the details. I just heard that they seem to have used their connections in the government. They probably spent money to bribe some officials. I don’t know the specifics.”

Xiao Bing's tone turned cold: "If you don't make decisions for the people as an official, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. If there are officials who are really corrupt and bend the law, or even collude with unscrupulous developers, then they don't have to keep their money." What a shame!"

Xiao Bing's heart was filled with vitality!
