Chenguang Orphanage is located in a mountain on the outskirts of Beijing, with very inconvenient transportation.
It took Xu Yuan and the others more than four hours to arrive.
As soon as he saw it, his brows furrowed.
What kind of orphanage is this? It's clearly a place transformed from an abandoned pig farm.
Due to inconvenient transportation and being located deep in the mountains, many of the walls of the pig farm have collapsed. Only a two-story building is still standing.
But the walls are mottled, and in many places, the red bricks and cement steel bars inside are exposed.
I don’t know how long this house has been abandoned. Strictly speaking, it is considered a dilapidated house.
On the side, Mo Ying also frowned.
She also didn't expect that the environment in the Chenguang Orphanage would be so bad.
Moreover, according to the information, she learned that the Chenguang Orphanage was run by an old couple and had a total of more than a dozen children.
The key point is that among these more than ten children, there are still many who were abandoned by their parents because of congenital diseases. In the future, they not only need to be fed, but also need to be treated.
"After I return, I will arrange for people from Lihuo Palace to follow up and help the Chenguang Orphanage!" Mo Ying said softly.
Xu Yuan also nodded.
As soon as the two approached, there was a large old locust tree beside a small road.
At this moment, under the old locust tree, an old woman with gray hair, thin and stooped body was leaning on a branch and looking anxiously at the intersection.
When she discovered Xu Yuan and Mo Ying, a hint of surprise clearly flashed across the old woman's cloudy eyes.
Then, with staggering steps, he walked toward Xu Yuan and Mo Ying while leaning on a branch.
"Two kind-hearted people, are you Mr. Xu and Mr. Mo?" the old woman asked.
His dry bark-like face was full of smiles.
Xu Yuan felt sour in his heart when he saw it.
In fact, this old woman is about the same age as her mother, around fifty.
But because of long-term fatigue, the difference between her apparent age and her actual age is almost more than ten years.
"I am Mo Ying, and you are Chen Qingmei, Dean Chen, right?" Mo Ying stepped forward, not disliking the old woman's dirty hands at all, grabbed her, and spoke with a smile.
Now, it was Chen Qingmei's turn to feel coy and embarrassed, "Mr. Mo, the old lady just finished her farm work and her hands are dirty..."
But Mo Ying didn't care, holding Chen Qingmei's hand and walking towards the orphanage together.
Xu Yuan followed and listened, and also learned the origin of the Chenguang Orphanage.
It turns out that this is indeed a pig farm, which was started by Chen Qingmei and her husband Cao Mazhuang.
In the early years, the business was okay, but the couple also had a problem, which was that they could never conceive a child.
The two of them went to the hospital for this, but there was nothing they could do.
Not only was the family's fortune emptied, but even the pig farm, which was doing well, was hit by swine fever and almost bankrupt because it was not taken care of properly.
The couple was disheartened and had to give up.
But one day, a baby girl with congenital heart disease was dumped next to his pig farm.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the little girl, who was not yet full moon, was so cold that her face was purple and her breath was almost gone.
The couple Cao Mazhuang and Chen Qingmei hurriedly carried the little girl to the hospital, where they finally saved their lives.
The couple decided to adopt the little girl and raise pigs to save money for the little girl's surgery.
Don't know what the reason is.
This incident spread.
Those parents who gave birth to children with defects were unwilling to raise them themselves, so people nearby secretly sent those unhealthy children over.
Cao Mazhuang and Chen Qingmei were kind-hearted people who could not bear such a small life to die on its own, so they adopted them all.
Because there were too many children, the pig farm gradually closed down.
They have nowhere else to go but to stay here.
It lasted more than ten years.
Because most of the children sent here had congenital diseases, many failed to survive and died midway.
The little girl with congenital heart disease whom the couple first adopted also died on the operating table.
"Dean Chen, what's going on in the Chenguang Orphanage now?" Mo Ying asked with a bitter heart.
Chen Qingmei smiled and said, "That's it. My husband and I are carrying it. There are currently fourteen children, the oldest is already thirteen years old, and the youngest... is only over one year old!"
"Dean Chen, doesn't the government care about your situation?" Xu Yuan couldn't help but ask.
Chen Qingmei shook her head, "People from the government come here every month to contact us. They have done everything they can. In fact, several of these fourteen children are suffering from diseases and need to take medication for life. The burden is too great.
, the government can’t take care of it, but there are many kind-hearted people like you who send some clothes and food from time to time.
Otherwise, this orphanage would have been closed long ago!"
Xu Yuan admired him from the bottom of his heart.
He secretly decided that after returning this time, he must let the Yanwu Group take charge of the Chenguang Orphanage.
All the children's expenses and expenses are fully covered by Yanwu Group.
Just as he was talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door.
Next to the abandoned two-story building, there is a large wooden sign with the words "Chenguang Orphanage" written in calligraphy on it.
Chen Qingmei smiled and said, "My husband wrote it with ugly handwriting!"
It was at this time.
Inside the orphanage, a man with gray hair but good spirits walked out, followed by a dozen children.
But it can be seen at a glance that most of these children have problems...
The tallest and largest child was still drooling at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were distracted, and he stood blankly, like a wooden block.
"Come on, come on!"
The man clapped his hands and shouted that he was Cao Mazhuang, Chen Qingmei's husband, "A kind-hearted person donated a canteen to us. Let's all kneel down together, kowtow to the kind-hearted person, and wish him a prosperous business and a long life!"
As Cao Mazhuang said, he and Chen Qingmei took the lead and knelt down towards Xu Yuan and Mo Ying.
The children behind them also followed suit, babbling and shouting.
Xu Yuan looked anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Mazhuang and Chen Qingmei up.
"Absolutely not, Dean Chen, you are trying to hurt us!" Xu Yuan said.
Chen Qingmei said with a strange look, "Every time good-hearted people came to deliver things before, many of them wanted us to kneel down and kowtow to them, and then say some auspicious words. You..."
Xu Yuan smiled bitterly, those people didn't really come to donate things at all.
After some hard talking, the children were brought back in.
The environment inside was also very messy. This was the situation after Cao Mazhuang and Chen Qingmei got up early in the morning and cleaned up.
"Mr. Xu, the contractor for the new canteen hasn't arrived yet. Please wait a moment. We will have a simple groundbreaking ceremony then..."
Chen Qingmei spoke.
Xu Yuan nodded indifferently.
Anyway, he had nothing to do, so he began to look at the sick ones among the fourteen children.
The thirteen-year-old boy was born with cerebral palsy, so he drooled all the time and his eyes wandered.
Xu Yuan is not a god. If the other party had just found out, he might still have something to do.
Now, he could only use acupuncture to make the child calm down and stop drooling.
Xu Yuan checked the symptoms of several other children one by one.
At the same time, he left prescriptions for some of the children's illnesses. As long as they persisted in taking the medicine, they still had a chance to be cured.
Chen Qingmei and Cao Mazhuang heard this and knelt down to kowtow in gratitude.
Xu Yuan and Mo Ying laughed bitterly and stopped them again and again.
Just then.
Outside the orphanage, there was the roar of a car engine.
Then, a loud voice shouted, "Old man, isn't it just a broken canteen? I am willing to build it for you. It is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes. You hurriedly urged me to come over and hold a groundbreaking ceremony.
Do you really think my time is free of charge?"
A man with a beard and a few younger brothers came in and sat down on the chair carelessly.
Cao Mazhuang and Chen Qingmei's faces were full of flattery, and they quickly approached.
"Brother Hu, I'm so sorry...it's just that this new canteen was donated by others. If we want to build it, we have to tell others!" Cao Mazhuang said with an apologetic smile on his face.
