Chapter 889 Reunion with Relatives

Xiao Mingyue sat next to her and looked at her father. She was also a little angry in her heart. She was not angry because of what happened at the orphanage. She was still a little confused about it. The main reason for her was because Xiao Bing was angry. Angry, Xiao Mingyue's thoughts were very simple. Those people made her father unhappy, so those people must be bad guys and must be punished accordingly.

The car stopped outside an orphanage.

Xiao Bing opened the car door and walked out first, and then Xiao Mingyue also followed. When the two of them looked up, they saw a black iron gate, and above the gate there was a horizontal plaque that read Changping Children's Welfare Home. .

Orphanages are generally called private homes. In fact, orphanages were named children's welfare homes after the founding of New China. They are basically organized by national departments and provide corresponding funds for the welfare homes. daily expenses, but this children's welfare home is not organized by the state department, but founded by private businessmen. The founder is Zhang Jinlan's grandmother. Xiao Bing usually calls her Aunt Jinlan. She should be in her sixties now. Years old.

It is said that the Zhang family was originally a large family in Changping City. However, in the chaotic era before the founding of New China in the last century, horse thieves came into the city to burn, kill and loot. More than half of Zhang Jinlan's ancestral family died, including Zhang Jinlan's grandfather and second son. Both his uncle and his third uncle died, leaving only his father's lineage. Later, the Zhang family began to decline. Zhang Jinlan's grandmother believed in Buddhism at home. Suddenly one day, she sold all the assets in the family and founded this orphanage. After its establishment, it was renamed Children's Welfare Home, and it continues to this day. Therefore, children's welfare homes in Huaxia are basically national properties, but this children's welfare home was entirely founded by the Zhang family, from Zhang Jinlan's grandmother to her father. , until Zhang Jinlan's generation, they have been working hard to maintain this welfare home, and the operating funds are basically funded by some caring people. After all, the Zhang family's wealth has been almost exhausted after so many years.

If the Zhang family, which has done good deeds for generations, is still persecuted by unscrupulous developers and corrupt government officials, will there be any conscience left in the world?

Xiao Mingyue said: "Dad, you used to live in this courtyard?"

"Well, yes." Xiao Bing's tone was filled with emotion. The plaque on it was dilapidated, the wall was dilapidated, and the tall buildings that could be seen looked dilapidated, but this courtyard It is indeed very big. As a second-tier city in Changping City, although every inch of land is not very valuable, such a large piece of land is still worth a lot of money. Logically speaking, Zhang Jinlan has no need to support this welfare company. As long as the orphanage is disbanded and this place is sold, it will definitely be enough for her to enjoy comfortably for two generations without worrying about food and drink.

But she didn't, because the orphanage was her life, and these lonely children were her family!

Xiao Bing took Xiao Mingyue's hand and walked over and patted the black iron gate of the welfare home. At this time, a lame man wearing rags suddenly walked out of the guard room in the yard. This lame man had messy white hair. , his left leg is a bit disabled, so he walks with a limp and uses a cane.

The lame man looked to be sixty years old. His face was wrinkled, his hair and beard were gray, and he was slightly hunched over. His eyes were originally cloudy, but when he saw Xiao Bing, they shone brightly. At the same time, He also walked a few steps faster, walked over, quickly opened the door, then looked at Xiao Bing up and down, and said with some excitement: "Xiao Bing, it's Xiao Bing, isn't it Xiao Bing?"

"It's me, it's me." Xiao Bing was also a little excited, his nose was sore, and his tone became slightly choked.

Xiao Bing was very naughty when he was young and often got into fights, but Cripple always defended him every time and treated him very well. He was even better than the aunts in the orphanage. Xiao Bing had some At that time, I regarded the lame man as a loving father. I haven't seen him for more than ten years, how can I not be excited!

There were tears in Xiao Bing's eyes. He hugged the lame man and said, "Lame man, I haven't seen you for so many years. You are already old. Come with me this time. I will take care of you in your old age. You are already so old, so don't do it." Keep guarding here."

The lame man patted Xiao Bing, laughed hoarsely and said: "Okay, okay, good boy, the lame man accepts your filial piety, but no need, the lame man is used to this place, he can't walk anymore, and he doesn't want to leave. .Xiao Bing, after all these years, you are finally back."

Xiao Bing said with tears in his eyes: "I should have come back to see you a long time ago. It was my fault."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We all know that you are bringing glory to the country. The person who took you away was from the country. When he took you away, he said that you would be a member of the country's special department in the future. I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back. If you have the chance, you can come back in Lame's lifetime, Lame is happy enough, God has treated me well!"

Xiao Bing said: "Cripple, do you really have to stay and refuse to go back with me?"

"No, no." The lame man was excited for a long time. After hugging Xiao Bing, he saw Xiao Mingyue standing next to him and asked, "Xiao Bing, whose child is this?"

"This is my child. Her name is Xiao Mingyue."

"Have you given birth to your child?" The lame man became even more excited. He bent down and looked at Xiao Mingyue carefully. Sometimes he was confused, sometimes praised, and sometimes pleased. Finally, he touched Xiao Mingyue's head and said with emotion, "Mingyue is not like you." Ah, but she is prettier than you. Hahahaha!"

Xiao Bing smiled and said: "Lame, are all the aunties here?"

"Alas, your eldest aunt and third aunt have both passed away."

Xiao Bing was struck by lightning. When Xiao Bing was a child, there were a total of seven women and one man in this welfare home. One man was lame, and the seven women took care of the children's daily life every day. This The seven women were called eldest aunt, second aunt, third aunt by Xiao Bing and his friends from childhood to childhood... and the dean, Zhang Jinlan, was the second eldest among them and the second oldest.

Xiao Bing still remembered that the aunt was the strictest, but she also loved him the most. If she were still alive now, she would be in her seventies, but unexpectedly she had passed away.

That third aunt usually likes knitting some things. I remember she knitted a sweater for myself in the winter, but she is no longer there now.

Xiao Bing said excitedly: "How could the third aunt pass away at such a young age?"

The lame man sighed and said: "She died last year. She was just sixty when she died, so she was not considered premature. She had cancer, and it was already in the late stage when she was diagnosed. No one can avoid it, and you can't. Don’t be too sad.”

Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Then let me go see the other aunts."

"Well, your fourth aunt was taken back by her children and went to enjoy the blessings in the provincial capital. When the children came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave. In the end, she was persuaded by the dean for two days and two nights before she followed. The children are gone, but a few others are here to take care of the new children.”

As the lame man spoke, he led Xiao Bing to the entrance of the orphanage. Then he stopped, coughed twice, and said, "Go in. They must be very excited when they see you coming back. Tonight Lame will have a nice drink with you."

Xiao Bing asked: "How do you know I know how to drink?"

The lame man smiled hoarsely and said, "You stole the lame man's wine when you were a child. Did you stop drinking when you grew up?"

Xiao Bing sneered and said, "That's right."

"Okay, you go in, I'll go back on duty and have two more drinks at night."

Xiao Bing agreed, took Xiao Mingyue's hand, pushed open the door on the first floor, and stepped in.

After walking into the first floor, I saw several children running around in the hall, some were still running up and down the corridor leading upstairs, and two children were sitting in wheelchairs, looking at them with envy. Friends.

Among these children, some were lame and some were deaf, but a few were relatively healthy. When they saw Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue coming in, these children all stopped and stared at Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue one by one.

At this time, a woman's voice came from upstairs and asked, "Why are you kids so quiet all of a sudden?"

A sound of footsteps came down from upstairs. Xiao Bing looked up and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman in her forties wearing a pink sweater walking down from above. It can be seen from this woman's body that no matter how young she is, At some point, she must have been a little beauty that everyone liked. Even now, she still has the charm that can attract any man. She has a good appearance, a gentle temperament, and a playfulness that only a young girl should have.

After seeing Xiao Bing, this beautiful middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Sir, who are you? What's the reason for coming to our welfare home?"

Xiao Bing's lips trembled a little. How could Xiao Bing not be excited when he suddenly saw his relatives who had been away for more than ten years.

Seeing that Xiao Bing didn't say a word, but just looked at her with such excitement, the middle-aged beautiful woman frowned and felt a little puzzled. However, she quickly looked Xiao Bing up and down, and instantly stared. With his eyes wide open, he quickly ran to Xiao Bing, grabbed Xiao Bing's clothes, and said excitedly: "Are you Xiao Bing? Xiao Bing, are you back?"

"It's me, it's me, aunt, I miss you so much..." It turns out that this is the youngest of the seven sisters, and also the prettiest one. I remember she was born when Xiao Bing was five years old. She joined this welfare home to work, and she also worked voluntarily, purely because she loved the children here. She was only eighteen years old at that time, and she was in her youth. The children had a good relationship with her, especially Xiao Bing. , Xiao Bing is particularly naughty, but she likes him the most.

She was the one who doted on Xiao Bing the most back then. Even though Xiao Bing usually liked to fight, she always said that Tao boy was good and that he would be promising in the future. Every time the aunt severely punished Xiao Bing, it was this aunt who was protecting him. Xiao Bing, so although she entered this orphanage when Xiao Bing was five years old, in Xiao Bing's heart, her status was no less than that of the other aunts.

"You brat!" The beautiful middle-aged woman punched Xiao Bing, almost crying, and then shouted loudly, "Xiao Bing is back, Xiao Bing is back."

Soon, several footsteps hurriedly came from upstairs, behind the stairs, and in the corridor. Xiao Bing's eyes widened as he watched the relatives he had longed for appear in front of him one by one. , the second aunt, the fifth aunt, the sixth aunt, and the aunt in front of him, Xiao Bing's eyes were red, and his tears finally fell uncontrollably.
