"Here, take it!"
"How embarrassing is this!"
Lu Qi took some clothes and food from the owner of the shop in front of him. He looked at the workers who were carrying things with some embarrassment. The shop was about to close.
The owner of the shop was over eighty years old. He was getting old and planned to go back to the north to retire. The shop owner smiled and took out a paper bag from his pocket, which contained a thick stack of banknotes.
"Take it!"
"this......."
Lu Qi swallowed. He really wanted to take the money. The owner of the store was a good man. He had helped orphanages many times.
"Take it, this money is not much, but at least it is enough for the more than 40 children in your orphanage to live for a while."
Lu Qi took the money and bowed ninety degrees after holding it in his hand, tears oozing out of his eyes uncontrollably.
It's been a while since I've been to the lively streets. Lu Qi came today just to go to a place with Internet access and take a look at the bills in Congress. Now there are three more important bills with results, and the fourth bill has
It is the issue of tax distribution. Nowadays, with the huge political system of parliamentarians, the distribution of tax is a matter of great concern to many people.
Lu Qi was no exception. The monthly expenses allocated to Lu Qi and his orphanage were only a pitiful 2,000 yuan, which was difficult to support the lives of more than 40 children. Lu Qi was exhausted and asked the local orphanage many times.
The agency appealed, hoping to get some money to keep the orphanage running.
Every time a group of children were sent away, Lu Qi felt a little more relaxed. Those children who were willing to be adopted could escape from the torturous environment of the orphanage. However, in recent years, there are still a large number of orphans in society. Former black slaves
Incidents, money laundering, fraud and other issues, there is now a certain resistance to orphanages in society.
There are even criticisms in the society that most of the people who open orphanages are taking advantage of the kindness of others to make money, which has intensified the distrust in society. Even though the judicial branch and the Bar Association have revised the fraud law, the prison terms for fraudsters who take advantage of the kindness of others are
It has increased from less than 10 years in the past to 30 years.
Although most fraud incidents in society have been effectively curbed, the distrust that was caused in the past because of some people's casual remarks is like a tearing wound that is constantly bleeding and is constantly expanding.
In the past, Lu Qi was able to get some donations from many places, but now it is basically very difficult to get donations.
"Lu Qi, I think you should contact a larger orphanage as soon as possible and send the child away. You won't be able to survive."
The owner of the shop sighed helplessly. Everyone around here knows Lu Qi. He often comes to ask for some donations. Many people used to give some, but now everyone is having a hard time. This district in the southwest,
Although it is close to a factory area, their orphanage is on a hill on the edge of the city, which has long been uninhabited.
The Luqi Orphanage is located on the edge, about 2 kilometers away from any inhabited area in the district.
That place has been marginalized for a long time. Lu Qimu looked at the large bag of food and money bags placed next to him, and looked to the west with some confusion. Everything in the store had been moved.
Yes, the boss got on the truck with a smile.
Lu Qi quietly looked at the boss who was waving to him. After saying goodbye to him, Lu Qi looked around. Many people were looking at him, pointing and saying something.
Then Lu Qi carried the clothes and food and started walking hard. He had to go back quickly, get a delicious meal for the children, and then buy some baby food.
The road of more than 2 kilometers is not long, but short. Lu Qi looked at the fortress on the top of the mountain in the distance. He knew very well what it was like to be an orphan, because he himself was once an orphan.
The issue of tax allocation should be announced soon. Although Congress has announced the methods of dividing and using taxes in recent years, there are no detailed rules. This time, members of Congress have stated that in the future, detailed rules will be released for tax announcements.
Anyone in the district can view the tax usage details assigned to the district rights.
Lu Qi was worried all the way. He knew that he couldn't do anything and couldn't change it, but if more tax revenue could be allocated to orphanages, many orphans could survive.
Lu Qi also took over this orphanage from a mother-in-law who had taken care of Lu Qi and his brother Luneng in the past.
At this time, Lu Qi looked at the money in his hand. There were more than 5,000 yuan in total. Lu Qi had an idea in his mind. If he just relied on blindly gaining sympathy and donations from others, the orphanage would not be able to survive. But
When thinking about past business failures, Lu Qi could only helplessly shake his head.
He can only continue to endure it. Lu Qi can't keep any money in his hands now. Fortunately, his younger brother is now working in a light and shadow equipment company, and the salary is good. His younger brother also said that he will find a way to save some money, and then the two brothers will form a partnership.
Only by doing business can we continue to maintain the orphanage.
The afternoon sun had just started to get warm. Lu Qi was sweating profusely and carrying his things across the wooden bridge over the moat. As soon as he walked into the yard, he heard bursts of laughter. The solemnity on Lu Qi's face disappeared.
He smiled and put down his things.
"The dean is back!"
Children gathered around one by one. My younger brother Luneng was helping some children to dry the clothes they had just washed. Children gathered around happily. Everyone was hungry. They swallowed and looked at the eggs in Lu Qi's hand, as well as the eggs.
Big bag of stuff.
"Hurry up and get things ready. Let's make egg pancakes."
Looking at the children in front of him who were busy helping, Lu Qi felt motivated again. He couldn't let this place end. He knew what it felt like to be homeless.
"Yincai, what are you doing? You can't eat flour directly."
Several older children went over and grabbed a little baby who had just learned to walk. She seemed to be very hungry and wanted to eat flour directly. Lu Qi smiled and looked at this baby who was placed at the door of the orphanage last year.
The little girl is growing up vigorously.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But Yincai still licked the flour on her hands reluctantly, and was pulled away by several children to wash her hands. At this time, an older child picked up the flour
He took off the music pendant on Yincai's neck, and soon the music started to play, and Yincai was attracted and chased after him.
The children here are all taking care of each other, taking care of each other. At this time, the younger brother Luneng came over.
"Brother, do you want us to do this first?"
Lu Qi looked at Luneng in confusion.
"This kind of ringing music pendant is very simple to make. I can get the machine to produce the components. You just need to ask the children to help assemble it and download some popular songs. That's it. Even if you sell one
You can make a lot of money with just 1 yuan, and the cost is only one or two cents."
"this is not........"
Lu Qi hesitated. This was a crime.
"We only sell in some nearby districts. It will be fine. Recently I heard that another orphanage has closed down. Many homeless children are being kicked back and forth in many orphanages just like playing football.
go."
Lu Qi looked at the sound and color chasing this kind of music pendant not far away. This name was given to her by Lu Qi because she brought this color-changing and glowing music pendant with her when she came here, so Lu Qi named it for her.
got this name.
"Then you have to be careful, just in case..."
"It's okay, brother. Many people in our company are doing this kind of thing. Besides, we're not doing anything bad."
Lu Qi hummed and looked at the sun in the distance. It looked bright, but it was almost 1 o'clock, and there was still a chill here.
No one knows that this is the current situation here. The issue of orphans has been increasingly marginalized. Now the only thing Lu Qi can rely on is a female district councilor who promised her before that she would definitely raise this issue in Congress.
Said.
In the last district council election, Ruzi took 13 children over the age of ten from her orphanage and herself voted for her 14 times, and she defeated her opponent by just 10 votes. After that, the councilor voted for her.
The orphanage brought 3,000 yuan in condolences and some food, which allowed Lu Qi and the children here to survive the crisis.
"It's okay, brother, let's use this method to make the orphanage feel better for the time being."
Lu Qi nodded. He had been honest and responsible all his life, but now he could only listen to his younger brother and engage in such illegal business.
1:03 pm
There were bursts of clapping, and a little baby wearing an exquisite princess dress was crawling on the ground. There were cheers all around. Many people were praising the child, saying that she was smart, beautiful and cute.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the little baby girl seemed very happy and crawled towards some people on the lawn from time to time.
The baby's mother, Fang Qin, seemed very embarrassed as she chatted with the other lawyers and wives. She heard too many words of praise at every gathering like this. Fang Qin was a little uncomfortable with it. It was obvious that her daughter was just over 1 year old.
Some.
Fang Qin knew that this was all because her husband Pullman was not only the president of the Law Society, but also a representative of the lawyer faction.
Fang Qin didn't adapt to all this. No matter how many times it happened, it was the same. Everyone who came here had only one purpose, which was to have a good relationship with the Pullman family.
Every time these people come here, they bring a lot of gifts, many of which are relatively expensive. Although Fang Qin wants to refuse, her husband Pullman also said that the family circle is also an extremely important part, and Fang Qin naturally knows that Pullman
Mann's difficulties.
"By the way, Pullman recently said that he wants to set up a charity foundation for orphans. Mrs. Zhu, look..."
"Fang Qin, I think it's best if we don't get involved in this kind of thing."
"Yes, we alone can't solve this kind of thing. Congress has to take action. Think about it. There are tens of thousands of orphans. Even if each person earns 100 yuan a month, it will cost millions!"
