Chapter 259 Children in the Orphanage
Chapter 259 Children in the Orphanage
In Ning Siyu's impression, the director's mother's office had fresh green plants, clean and bright windows, and brand new chairs, but now she saw that everything was shabby.
It was hard for her to imagine what life the dean's mother had been living in the past few years, as she had only been away for three years.
Several children outside the door climbed the door frame curiously to look inside, and were surprised to see two strangers coming.
These children were wearing half-new clothes, but fortunately they were clean, with a few patches but not too many. Their faces and hands were clean without a speck of mud, and it seemed that they had been well educated.
Ning Siyu looked at the unfamiliar faces and knew that these children came in after she left.
"After you left, a few more children came one after another. I'm old and don't have as much energy as before, so I hired two teachers to take care of them." As she spoke, she took out a few apples and oranges from the table and gave them to the children near the door.
The three children were no longer afraid of food when they saw that there was food to eat. They ran in immediately and happily ate the apples and oranges.
"Thank you, Dean Mom!" the children said in unison and ran out again.
Lu Jincheng had seen these children before, every time he was in the car, they would run out to take a look when passing by the orphanage. When he was very young, he saw a strong sense of expectation and curiosity in the eyes of these children, but he was in a hurry to go to school.
"Dean, have you ever thought about replacing these things with new ones?" Ning Siyu looked around and even smelled a faint musty smell.
If people live in this situation for a long time, they will get sick.
"All my money is used to hire teachers, so how can I have extra money to buy new things?" The director looked away awkwardly. "In recent years, fewer and fewer people have donated to our orphanage, so the money has naturally become less and less."
There was not much money to spend on herself, and most of the money was spent on the children. Ning Siyu's eyes were slightly hot. This was the dean's mother in her memory.
She took the dean's hand and rubbed it carefully, "Thank you for your hard work, dean mother. Let me introduce you, this is my husband, and we are going to have our wedding soon."
The dean then took a closer look at Lu Jincheng and saw that he had a cold expression and distant eyes. He had a temperament unique to those from wealthy families.
She paused slightly, wondering if this man was sincere towards Ning Siyu.
"Jincheng, I want to send some food to the children. Can you help me buy some?" Ning Siyu looked at him and said softly.
As long as Ning Siyu's request was not too excessive, he would not refuse it, and he had already left.
"Dean, do you think there is something wrong with him?" Ning Siyu sent Lu Jincheng away and asked softly.
"He is that man? Why are you together with him? Is he good to you?" the director asked three questions in a row. "I let you go because of the reputation of the orphanage. If people knew that there was a... girl here, no one would dare to send their children here."
Ning Siyu's eyes dimmed a little. How could she not understand the dean's thoughts? At that time, she also hated herself and those who framed her. Didn't she send them all to jail later?
She no longer hates.
Ning Siyu told the dean everything that happened after she left and met Lu Jincheng and his friends. The dean didn't see any forced smile on her face, and he felt a little relieved.
"Dean, do you still remember the man who brought me here? If he stood in front of you, would you still be able to recognize him?" Ning Siyu asked, staring into her eyes, her palms sweating because of nervousness.
The dean recalled carefully, one night that year, when night fell, the entire street was immersed in darkness, with only the street lamp outside the gate emitting a slightly dim light.
Just after she checked the gate of the courtyard, she heard some noise outside. She ran out and saw that it was a baby in swaddling clothes.
The baby looks to be just over one month old and is very weak, but the clothes he wears and the quilt he is wrapped in are of very good quality, and it seems that he comes from a wealthy family.
I just don’t know why he was abandoned at the door of the orphanage, and the person who brought him there never saw him.
"I didn't see what he looked like." The dean said with regret, otherwise she would have said it when Ning Siyu was young.
Ning Siyu was silent for a while. She had long given up hope and just regarded this place as her home. The dean's mother was her family.
"Dean mom, the man I'm going to marry is from H City, which is not far from here. Can I get married from here when the time comes? You raised me, and I'm very grateful." Ning Siyu said sincerely, holding her hand.
The dean was shocked by her words. Few of the children she had sent away before came back to see her because they were too young. When they grew up, their adoptive families might not let them come back frequently, so they would forget about them over time.
Ning Siyu was the first child to say this to her.
Her eyes were slightly red, and the hardships of raising a child over the past few years seemed insignificant at this moment. She opened the orphanage not for money, but to give abandoned children a place to stay.
But she was alone and weak, and it was already a bit difficult for her to run the orphanage by herself. What's more, she was now old and unable to do it, so she had to recruit teachers from outside to help take care of the children.
She never thought that the children who had left would come back to repay her. She just hoped that the children would be safe and healthy.
Lu Jincheng directly hired a car to come back. The small truck was loaded with food and daily necessities, which stunned the children. They opened their mouths in surprise and stared at the things in the car.
The packaging bags of those snacks are colorful and very attractive.
He looked at the twenty or so children surrounding him and carefully touched their hair.
He asked the clerk who came with him to move all the things down and put them in the dean's office.
The noise was so loud that the dean stood up and stood outside with Ning Siyu. Two teachers, a man and a woman, saw this and came over to help. They were paid so little as life teachers, and they mainly felt sorry for the children.
Just as the things were moved down, another car drove in. The car had smooth lines and a leaping leopard logo. It was obviously a car worth millions.
The dean had never seen this car before, but she knew that the person coming must be rich or noble, so she hurried over.
Unexpectedly, the person who came down was an old man with a cane and gray hair. He went straight to Lu Jincheng.
"Grandpa, why are you here?" When Lu Jincheng saw that it was his grandfather who came, he hurried forward to support him.
That’s right, it’s Lu Boran who is coming.
