Chapter 129 Repeated Songs (Orphanage)
Qiuli already had a vague feeling that her existence seemed to have a deeper secret, but she had too few clues.
Also, I am too weak.
Even the secretary-general of a player association can force him into a corner.
Early the next morning, Qiuli returned to the coffee shop on the third floor, cut the extra "chocolate brownie" she made yesterday into small pieces, put it into a packing box, and carried it out of the mall in a large paper bag.
The sky is still gray today. In addition, there seems to be a bit more moisture in the air. It is expected that the weather will change.
After crossing the overpass, she came to the door of the church. The main door was now open, and there were several believers inside who had gone in early to pray. The small circular door next door was still closed, but the voices of children could be heard coming from inside.
.
She walked to the door and saw that there was a doorbell under the mailbox under the arch. After she rang the doorbell and waited for dozens of seconds, footsteps came from inside. After a while, the door opened.
Grandma's gentle face was revealed. She was about 50 years old, with a kind face. Her whole body was covered in clothes, only her face was exposed. Behind her were several children, mostly boys, who were curiously heading toward the door.
Looking around.
Qiuli saluted her and then handed over the paper bag in her hand, "I am the owner of the cafe on the third floor of the shopping mall opposite. I made some extra cakes yesterday and wanted to give them to the children to taste."
When grandma heard that she was from the shopping mall across the street, the wariness on her face dissipated a little. She took the paper bag with both hands and asked with a smile: "Is James okay?"
Qiuli was startled, it seemed that James had a good relationship with the church.
"I saw him at the dinner party yesterday and he was still in good spirits. He must have been doing well recently. My name is Qiuli. What is my name, mama?"
Seeing that she was answering fluently, the remaining wariness disappeared. She smiled and said, "Just call me Sanye. Do you want Ms. Qiu to come in and distribute the cake to the children with your own hands?"
Qiuli showed a look of surprise, "Okay."
The door was fully opened. There was a passage near the door with steps on the left. Qiuli followed Sanye. When the children saw Qiuli coming in, they immediately dispersed.
On the right is the restaurant. It should be breakfast time now. Most of the children are gathered in the restaurant. Qiuli counted more than 30 people, and there were several children who were obviously disabled, with shrinking expressions on their faces.
Hiding in the corner.
A few brave boys, probably the oldest among them, about 8 or 9 years old, were led by a boy with brown curly hair and followed them with a smile.
Qiuli saw two nuns, one tall and one short, standing in the corner. The tall one was disciplining a few disobedient children with a sad face, while the short one took action directly.
Sanye's expression suddenly became serious. She stood at the door of the restaurant and clapped her hands. The entire restaurant was silent. When the two nuns saw an outsider coming in, they both hurriedly stood up straight and looked at Qiuli.
Sanye then spoke: "Ms. Qiu made cakes for the children, and they sat down for me one by one."
As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant was like an assembly line starting up, and everyone was quickly seated.
Even the older children following the door hurriedly took their seats.
Sanye nodded with satisfaction. It was breakfast time now, and there was an empty plate in front of each child's table.
Qiu Li felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she took out the cakes from the carton and distributed them one by one. Fortunately, she made a lot of cakes, and after distributing them all, there were still two more pieces.
There were 31 orphans in this group. Qiuli saw the little boy looking up at the sky that she saw last time on the terrace. When she got closer, she realized that he was very thin, with a big head and a small body. He was obviously malnourished.
Seeing that she had divided the cake, Sanye immediately said, "What should you say?"
The children said in unison: "Thank you."
Qiuli was digging her toes into the ground in embarrassment at this moment. After a few words of modesty, she followed Sanye and walked out. Taking advantage of this time, Qiuli saw that there was a yard behind the restaurant. On the side of the yard was the dormitory building.
The washed clothes are blowing in the wind.
This is roughly the whole picture of the orphanage.
"Mother Sanye, will these children read to them?" Qiuli asked as she was about to reach the door.
Sanye replied: "What's the use of studying? It's better to teach them how to do housework."
When they arrived at the door, a gentle smile appeared on Sanye's face: "Thank you, Ms. Qiu, for your love today. You are welcome to come and visit the children often."
The door closed again. Qiuli breathed a long sigh of relief, but her heart was filled with depression. The children inside probably had a bad life. When she distributed the cakes, she even saw old wounds on some of their exposed skin.
Intertwined with new wounds.
She looked at the time for a while. It was just before eight in the morning. She stood at the door of the church and stopped a taxi. The cars here were all painted in colorful colors, which was very eye-catching. She sat in the cramped back seat.
Said to the driver:
"Please go to the outpatient building of the city public hospital."
"Okay, sit tight." The driver sighed as he started the car, "There are doctors in this hospital who are looking for volunteers. Girl, are you planning to do this?" He saw Qiuli's face in the reflector.
It's rosy and doesn't look like it's sick.
"No, I'm looking for someone."
"That's good. Although it costs a lot to test medicine privately, life is at stake." He sighed. He was about 50 years old, with gray hair and rough skin.
The driver was a chatty person, and he didn't care whether Qiuli was talking behind him or not. He kept talking to himself. Daoer City Public Hospital was not far from the church. It only took 20 minutes to drive there. There were suddenly many vendors here.
Up, around the hospital, there are many restaurants.
There are also some small clinics. Looking past the door, business is actually pretty good.
At a glance, the hospital has three white buildings arranged in a Z-shaped layout. The outpatient building is in the middle, the inpatient department is on the right, and the scientific research institute is on the left.
There is a four-story red building at the end of the three buildings, which is Qiuli's target surgical branch this time.
As for why the surgical department should be separated separately, the moment Qiuli opened the door of the surgical branch, she understood that almost all the settings here were designed for people with physical disabilities.
Display of various prosthetic limbs.
Unexpectedly, this place is quite humane, Qiu Li thought, she walked to the nurse station at the door and asked: "Is Director Zhai Xicheng here?"
"Room 401." The nurse was so busy that she almost didn't even raise her head.
The sky outside the window had become gloomy. Qiuli did not squeeze into the elevator with the patients. She walked to the corridor and took out the souvenir for Director Zhai from the "portable food box".
Zhai Xicheng is the deputy director. He is the youngest and most junior of the three medical leaders introduced by Tao Yanru yesterday. However, he is the only one who has expressed that he likes to eat desserts. Qiu Li has something to ask for today, so he might as well go directly to him
he.
The corridor entrance was divided into upper and lower sections, and the fire door was closed tightly. After she opened the door hard, she found a red thread pulling at the entrance of the stairs. She looked curiously toward the basement. It was dark below, and the lights were not turned on.
After taking a glance, she walked around the red line and climbed up the steps. Suddenly there was a thunder outside, and a moment later, the first rain here fell.
