The letter was indeed sent by Teacher Xiaolu from the Red Moon Orphanage. The phone at home was only used by her mother, and Lu Xin didn't even know the number. Teacher Xiaolu naturally had no way to find her through the phone, so she would write to me if she had something to do.
The letter said that the orphanage had recently obtained the qualifications, and the children would have the opportunity to enter the school in the future. She was very happy.
In addition, she had invited Lu Xin before, so she decided to make dumplings and invite Lu Xin to eat together.
…
…
"It actually got approved..."
Lu Xin was somewhat surprised.
In fact, he knew very well what the current Red Moon Orphanage was like. There were too many places that did not meet the standards of the administrative department. The place was small and the conditions were poor. She was the only teacher and security guard. With such conditions, how could it be possible to obtain the qualifications to run an orphanage? And without formal qualifications, it was even more impossible to obtain funding support from the administrative department.
Although Teacher Xiaolu often went there before, she returned disappointed many times.
Sometimes even Lu Xin felt that her running was useless, but Teacher Xiaolu's answer was:
Anyway, I'm free...
Helpless, she could only let her go, but unexpectedly, she actually did it now.
"Does this have something to do with me?"
Lu Xin thought of Colonel Chen, who seemed to have some connections in this satellite city, and was also quite unsure.
He could actually feel the importance of the Special Pollution Cleanup Department to him, as well as their vigilance, and their complex attitude of wanting to get close but being cautious.
He usually behaved calmly and slowly, but this was because he was sensitive to this.
...
...
"Anyway, this is a good thing, I still have to go there..."
Lu Xin made a decision in his heart, looked up, and saw that his mother's bedroom door was closed.
The whole house was silent as if he was the only one.
"Ah..."
I wanted to ask her properly, but she got away with it again.
Lu Xin had no choice but to drink the glass of water silently, then got up and went back to the room.
The next day, Lu Xin finished his work in the business company early, and said hello to Han Bing on the satellite phone, then got on the bus early, intending to go to the orphanage in advance, so as to help Teacher Xiaolu cook.
When he approached the area of the Red Moon Orphanage, he got off the bus in advance and walked leisurely on the road.
Every time he went to the orphanage, it was always the most relaxing time for him.
Because his family almost never came to the orphanage with him, including his sister.
After walking for a while, Lu Xin thought about buying some gifts for them, so he walked into a store with a flashing neon sign.
Like other stores in the satellite city, although this store is not big, the goods are still very rich, and they are roughly divided into two categories. One is the current production, the packaging is a bit rough, but it looks brand new, and the other is the packaging is obviously exquisite, but it looks a bit old. The former are often produced in other satellite cities or the main city, while the latter are often brought in from outside the city by the waste-scavenging team. From the shelf life point of view, they are naturally expired, but there are many of them, which does not affect the taste at all.
After choosing for a while, Lu Xin bought a few bags of biscuits, a large bag of candies, and walked out with large and small bags.
It is easier to choose gifts for children, but I am not sure what to give to Teacher Xiaolu.
At this time, the sky was already a little dark, and the night was heavy and falling.
Not far away, under a dim street lamp, a little boy was squatting. He was skinny, but his head looked a little big. He was wearing gray clothes and his hair looked dirty. He was holding a straw basket in his hand, which contained a bunch of roses that were trimmed in different lengths and looked a little wilted. He was shouting softly: "Is there anyone buying them..."
When Lu Xin passed by him, he raised his head and looked at Lu Xin with his black eyes:
"Brother, do you want to buy my roses?"
Lu Xin looked at his skinny little face, which was covered with dust, and subconsciously slowed down his pace and said, "How much is one?"
The little boy looked a little happy: "Ten yuan!"
Lu Xin had put his hand in his pocket, but he took it out again, shook his head and said, "No."
The little boy was a little nervous, and looked at Lu Xin like he was begging, and said, "Brother, buy one."
"My roses are magical. If you buy them and give them to your sweetheart, she will definitely fall in love with you..."
"..."
Lu Xin looked at the roses in his basket, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, she will scold me for spending money recklessly!"
Then he took out a coin from his pocket, put it in the boy's basket, and continued to walk forward.
...
...
The little boy stared blankly at Lu Xin's receding back, and then looked down at the one-yuan coin in the basket.
A little confused.
"Don't follow me..."
There was a noise coming from a distance. A girl wearing round glasses and dressed young and fashionable was shaking her hands vigorously and walking towards this direction quickly, with an impatient look on her face. Behind her was a young man carrying a few apples. He wore glasses, a jacket and jeans. He wanted to catch up with the girl, but he didn't dare to catch up. He could only trot behind the girl:
"Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly like this?"
But the girl just walked quickly and repeated her previous words: "Don't follow me, it's annoying, okay..."
The little boy lowered his head and shouted weakly: "Is there anyone buying roses..."
"Give it to your girlfriend, she will fall in love with you..."
"..."
A man and a woman walked past him quickly.
After a few steps, the young man suddenly remembered something and ran over quickly, panting and asking, "How much?"
The little boy looked up at him and said, "Ten dollars!"
"So expensive..."
The young man looked at the direction the girl was walking, gritted his teeth, and took out a banknote: "Give me one!"
Then he picked up the rose and quickly chased in the direction the girl left.
"I said I don't want your apple, and I don't want to see you again, so don't bother me anymore..."
No matter how fast the girl walked, she couldn't catch up with the boy. Finally, in front of an apartment building, he caught up with the girl, but the girl looked disgusted. She seemed to be worried that the boy would follow her upstairs, so she decided to tell him clearly downstairs: "You are annoying like this, okay? Breaking up is breaking up. You are a grown man, can you not be so shameless?"
"I'm not a shameless person, I really am not..."
The young man looked very annoyed, and there was some confusion on his face: "I just don't know why it suddenly became like this..."
"You were so good last night, how did it suddenly become like this?"
"..."
"That's how it is with love, what else do you want to ask?"
The girl looked at him with disgust: "If you do this again, I will shout loudly..."
"I..."
The young man subconsciously took a step back: "Who do you think of me, how come it has come to the point where you need to... shout loudly?"
The girl just frowned, looked at him, and said coldly: "I'm going upstairs!"
It seemed that this expression finally made the young man sober up. He weakly lifted the apple in his hand, but then dropped it, silently handed over the rose in his hand, and whispered: "Then you... take this rose, okay? I promised you before..."
"I know I'm not qualified, but you should at least take this flower..."
"..."
The girl looked at the rose, then at the young man, with a cold face, and grabbed the rose in her hand.
The young man looked up at him with his arms slightly open.
The girl immediately took a step back vigilantly, and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
The young man also took a step back, and then slowly squatted down.
It was not until the girl turned around and went upstairs and slammed the door hard that his voice sounded with a crying tone.
"I just don't understand, why was it fine yesterday, but today when I wanted to hug you, you're so alert?"
"..."
The girl went upstairs, looking annoyed, and was about to throw the rose away.
But just as she was about to throw it away, she glanced at the rose, the purple color that was a little wilted, and suddenly her heart moved.
Inexplicably, she suddenly felt reluctant to let it go.
