Chapter 162 Children of 1191
The next morning, when Shen Bai took Sister Mao'er out, he experienced what a "social death scene" was.
——On radio and commercial electronic screens throughout the city, his own video is scrolling.
"He was only seventeen years old when he joined the war. Although he was young, he was extremely talented."
"He grew up in an orphanage, but he longed for light and embraced warmth."
"He gave up the opportunity to withdraw from Lanhai City and joined the Expeditionary Shenwu Army. He made countless achievements in two months of fighting. The blood made his heart even hotter!"
"He is Shen Bai, a student of our Lanhai City Sixth Middle School and the lieutenant colonel of the Shenwu Army!"
"Chen Bai's other two teammates of the same age are as great as him..."
When the passionate female host was explaining, Chen Bai's handsome face was displayed from all angles. After adding halo rendering, it was as exquisite as a work of art.
As he walked on the road, more and more people recognized him. Shen Bai shook hands with many people in a daze, and then ran away in a panic.
"Huh... isn't this propaganda too exaggerated? 24-hour rolling broadcast?" Shen Bai leaned in the alley, patted his chest and panted:
"No, I want to make a suggestion to the public security department, let them take it easy and don't act like a fanatical worshiper."
"Ha, dear, a hero should be treated like this." Miss Black Cat playfully patted Shen Bai on the head and joked:
"After October Crazy, your reputation will be much louder than it is now."
"Trouble." Shen Bai shook his head and walked around the other way with the black cat.
Before it was time for lunch, Shen Bai arrived at the Baiyang Welfare Institution, which was two blocks away from his home.
In his memory, he grew up here and spent a tolerable childhood.
Shen Bai walked to the doorman and reported his name.
Thanks to the security department, and because of the propaganda that had been bombarding him since the morning, the guard recognized Shen Bai, a "big shot", and quickly nodded and bowed to welcome him in, taking him to the only waiting room of the Aries Welfare Institution.
The guard went out to inform the dean, while Shen Bai was holding the freshly poured hot tea, thoughtfully.
His memories of the Aries Orphanage are actually not many. After all, he was picked up by his adoptive parents when he was thirteen years old.
The few things I remember most clearly are that the year before I was taken away from the orphanage, because my body gradually grew, and at the age of "a half-grown man eating a poor man", my appetite increased day by day, and the food provided by the orphanage was not enough, so I took him Go out with a few friends to do some "small business" and compete with others to win money for extra meals.
It was at that time that I met Li Xiaorui.
While Shen Bai rubbed the cup with his fingers, he tried his best to recall the days in Aries Welfare Home.
Although the memories were fuzzy, they were not chaotic, and each piece appeared in his mind in an orderly manner.
Of course, his memories before the age of six are messy and unclear. At that time, he was too young to remember things, so he needed to ask people who knew about it.
Just as I was lost in thought, the door was pushed open and the director of the orphanage wearing reading glasses walked in.
Shen Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was still the old dean.
"Shen, Lieutenant Colonel Shen..."
"Don't! It's too foreign to say that. Dean, I grew up in our Aries Welfare Home. You can just call me Xiao Bai." Shen Bai quickly stood up and helped the old man sit down.
"Okay..." The dean smiled happily and sat down next to Shen Bai.
He has this confidence. During his more than 40 years as the director of the orphanage, he has always worked hard and put the healthy growth of children first. When a couple who adopts a child appears, the director will always secretly inspect it several times before handling it. Formal procedures, for children who are too old to stay in the orphanage, he also uses his connections to find reliable jobs for these half-year-old children.
Have a bright mind and be open-minded.
Although I cannot say that I dedicated everything to the orphans, I did my best and had a clear conscience.
As for Shen Bai's problem of not having enough food to eat, there is really no solution. The government's budget is limited, how can it be so easy to raise children? There are so many places to spend money, and the funds of purely public welfare institutions are always very tight.
And this "hungry" is only relative. In fact, I can still eat until I'm 70% full, and there's even fruits after meals, and dumplings and glutinous rice balls during festivals.
It is precisely because he grew up in such a welfare institution that Shen Bai always has a sense of belonging to the Federation and identifies himself as a member of the human race.
Otherwise, when he found out about the "life hole" in his body, not to mention immediately betraying the Federation, he would at least hedge his bets and not risk his life to ambush Wujiang Tyranny.
——In the final analysis, it is Shen Bai who has grown up to this point, and the Federation is worthy of him and has fulfilled its obligations as a government.
Of course, if something really messy happens in the future, Shen Bai will not hesitate to defect from the Federation.
The prerequisite for repaying kindness is to save one's own life.
Shen Bai chatted with the dean about daily life. Dean Aries, who was almost at retirement age, was very happy. He was awakened by the overwhelming publicity this morning. The newspapers were all full of reports about the "Three Giants of the Blue Sea Divine Martial Army", and he confirmed it again and again. After Shen Bai was born in Aries Welfare Home, he could no longer sleep.
An orphanage with insufficient funds will be able to receive government resources if a benchmark figure emerges.
In this way, the children in the hospital can live a better life.
Shen Bai was very happy to do something for the place where he was raised. He took a photo with the dean and took out a bank card on the spot to donate to the welfare home.
After getting acquainted with each other again, Shen Bai got down to business.
"Dean, I have something to ask you. You see, I am quite famous now and have a bright future. I just want to find out how I came to the orphanage..."
The dean nodded. Successful orphans will always secretly investigate their biological parents. Although they may not recognize each other, it is human nature to think about it alone.
"Speaking of this... Xiaobai, I was deeply impressed by the day you were admitted to hospital." The dean sighed and said softly:
"It was in 1191, on a rainy night in June, a young boy suddenly appeared at our door. He was very handsome and fair-skinned, just like the boy who gave away money in the painting. During the years when I was the director of the orphanage, , this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful child.”
"He doesn't cry, doesn't make a fuss, and has a good temper. He giggles and is heartlessly happy."
"That's you, Shen Bai... the beautiful boy who suddenly appeared at the door of the orphanage on a rainy night."
"To be honest, this is a very strange thing... because usually abandoned orphans don't look very good. There are even many children who are abandoned by their parents because of innate diseases. But you are different. You are too healthy and good-looking. Already."
"There are many people who want to adopt you, but in fact there are some dark people among them... You should understand that a handsome boy like you will always encounter unpredictable dangers. Therefore, I always treat your adoptee I have the most cautious attitude, but when you were thirteen, the upright Mr. and Mrs. Shen came over and fell in love with you at first sight."
Shen Bai was silent. It seemed that there might indeed be something wrong with his background.
Damn, I don’t know the names of my biological parents, so please don’t engage in interracial sadomasochism!
Seeing Shen Bai's silent expression, the dean suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh and said:
Chapter completed!
