The next morning, Su Zhen woke up at 6 o'clock precisely and naturally. As usual, he had breakfast first and rested for 30 minutes before taking a shower.
Su Zhen's morning habit might be different from others. By doing this, he didn't have to brush his teeth two times in the morning.
Well, many people tended to take a shower first before having breakfast. This was because they didn't have time in the morning as they had to go to work, so they generally had breakfast on the way to work or ate at work.
At 7 o'clock, Su Zhen put Lele into the pet container and carried the pet container along with his light suitcase and a bag full of Lele's belongings downstairs.
After arriving downstairs, Su Zhen walked to the underground parking lot that belonged to the apartment building, found his car, and put the suitcase in the trunk. He then put Lele and Lele's belongings in the backseat seat as well.
After doing this, he walked back to his room to bring a large bag that contained gifts downstairs too.
Naturally, he put the large bag in the trunk so that it would not make him feel stuffy inside the car.
When Su Zhen sat inside the car, he unlocked Lele's pet container and let Lele out. Seeing this good chance, Lele walked out of the pet container and leaped to Su Zhen to rest on his thigh.
Su Zhen didn't care, he just started the car, and left the parking lot naturally.
His destination was of course Putian.
Putian was a prefecture-level city in eastern Fujian Province, and it bordered Fuzhou City to the north, Quanzhou City to the south, and the Taiwan Strait's Xinghai Bay to the east.
Since it was only a little more than 100 kilometers away from Fuzhou City, there was naturally no public flight available.
Therefore, Su Zhen could only go there by car, and he would need more than one hour to arrive there, and naturally, the fastest route was also used.
At 8 o'clock, the sky became gloomy and it started to rain soon after. Su Zhen could only slow his speed down in frustration.
By the time he arrived at Putian, it was over 9 o'clock.
Su Zhen recalled the directions in his memory and skillfully drove his car to the orphanage.
Along the way, Su Zhen spotted many differences between now and several years ago.
Putian was actually famous for its tea, but there were noticeably more tea houses and companies than before.
As Su Zhen nearly arrived at the orphanage, he noticed at the dirt road in the past had now become a smooth concrete road. There was no more muddy ground like that of the past anymore.
By the time Su Zhen arrived at the gate of the orphanage, the rain stopped. Looking to his front, he found that the stone plaque of the orphanage was still there. It was just that the color of the plaque had faded a lot.
The gate of the orphanage was not opened at all, and this was to prevent kids from sneaking out of the orphanage.
There was a security booth next to the gate, and a rough man in his 50s was sleeping soundly inside.
Su Zhen looked at the middle-aged man and shook his head slightly. If it was in the past, Uncle Dong would never slack off like now, but maybe because it was raining, so it made people want to sleep. Or perhaps because Uncle Qiang was already old, it was inevitable that he had no energy like in the past.
Unable to bear to honk at him, Su Zhen could only call Jian Boliu.
"Grandpa, I'm already at the gate, but the gate is locked."
"Huh, isn't Big Qiang there?"
"Uncle Qiang there, but he's sleeping at the moment, I can't bear to wake him up."
"I see, wait a moment, I will go over right away."
After hanging up the phone, a few minutes later, the gate of the orphanage moved to the side automatically.
As soon as the gate was opened, Su Zhen saw an old man in white clothes standing on the side of the gate, looking at him with a happy smile. Next to him, there were also two other young kids, and they stood there and looked at Su Zhen's car curiously.
The old man was naturally the dean, Jian Boliu. The old man then made a gesture to Su Zhen, asking him to drive the car inside.
Su Zhen drove the car into the ground of the orphanage slowly and finally came to a spacious and neatly tiled ground and parked the car in front of a slightly old 4-story building.
Quickly, Su Zhen's car attracted many people's attention, especially kids. Those little guys came over and surrounded the car curiously, while the older ones stood at a distance and looked from afar.
Some adults also came out of the building one by one and looked over.
When Su Zhen got out of the car, some people were surprised and quickly recognized him. At the same time, most of them came over to greet Su Zhen.
"Little Zhen, how have you been?"
"Why did you only notify Old Jian?"
"Look at you, you're still as handsome as ever…"
"…"
Su Zhen naturally answered their questions and returned their greetings one by one.
Soon, Jian Boliu walked over with Feng Qiang and the two children and scolded those guys with a smile, "You guys, Little Zhen should be quite tired from the long drive, quickly take him inside!"
Those middle-aged people nodded vigorously and wanted to pull Su Zhen inside, but Su Zhen said, "Uncles and aunts, wait a bit, let me take something out of the trunk first."
Su Zhen then walked to the back of his car and opened the trunk. He took out the large bag that contained gifts and closed the trunk.
Seeing such a large bag, those guys wondered what was inside. But from the look of it, it should be gifts, right?
As expected, when everyone sat down in the living room inside the building, Su Zhen opened the bag and revealed the things inside. It was all gifts for them.
When Su Zhen took out three bottles of Long Dai wine and put them on the table, the security guard Feng Qiang was the first person to be surprised.
"Little Zhen, is this Long Dai wine?"
Hearing what Feng Qiang asked, the other middle-aged guys were also surprised one after another.
They had naturally heard of Long Dai wine, but as far as they knew, this wine cost as high as 2,300 yuan per bottle. But Su Zhen actually brought three bottles out directly?
Before they could calm down, Su Zhen took out more things and put them on the table. Without exception, all of them were precious things such as supplements, expensive tobaccos, rare tea, and a few bottles of medicinal wine as well.
There were also accessories like watches as well. However, Su Zhen thoughtfully took off the price tag so that these uncles would not be baffled by the price.
The uncles were naturally interested in these watches. Seeing their eager look, Su Zhen said, "Uncles, you guys can freely choose the one you like most."
"Little Zhen, this watch looks very expensive, I think I can't receive it…"
When Feng Qiang picked up a delicate watch box and saw the watch inside, he knew right away that this watch was not cheap at all. After all, he saw the advertisement for this watch just a while ago on the internet.
"Right, there may be no price tag here, but I know it's very pricey…"
Sure enough, Su Zhen still underestimated these uncles and aunts. Even if they didn't know the real price of these watches, the appearance alone portrayed how expensive they were already.
But Su Zhen had already bought them and he had no intention of keeping these watches to himself, hence, he firmly shook his head and said softly, "I bought these for you guys, you have to accept them, or I feel like you're rejecting me."
This trick worked quite well. The uncles and aunts were defeated right away, and they reluctantly but happily chose the one they liked respectively. Of course, Jian Boliu was among them as well.
As for the supplements, everyone agreed to let Jian Boliu the dean store them in a safe place. After all, they lived as a family, so they were used to sharing things with each other.
After a while, most of them left the hall to get busy and only a few of them still sat in the living room to chat with Su Zhen.
At this time, the gate bell rang and a child ran into the living room to report to Jian Boliu, "Grandpa, there's a delivery."
"Delivery? Did anyone order something?"
Su Zhen thought of something and said, "Grandpa, it should be what I ordered has arrived."
"You? What are you buying again?" Jian Boliu nagged slightly. It was good that Su Zhen treated the orphanage and the people in the orphanage well, but he didn't want Su Zhen to spend so much money on them.
But after thinking a little more, he thought that since Su Zhen had grown up now, just let him do what he wanted, he had his way of thinking, and he, an outsider, had no qualification to interfere at all.
Su Zhen got up and rushed to the gate of the orphanage quickly, while Jian Boliu and a few other kids also followed behind.
At the gate, after Su Zhen opened the gate, he saw a white delivery van and two deliverymen standing next to the gate.
