It was a relatively light and cloudy day. Thick clouds blocked the scorching sun, and the usually hot air became noticeably gentle.
Considering that the gifts he wanted to bring were relatively large, Luo Han didn't want to show off, but he still drove his newly bought Peugeot, and Chen Xiao took a car each, bringing two cartons each of peaches, grapes, kiwis, longans, and Coprinus comatus.
, chanterelle mushrooms, pork belly mushrooms, and king oyster mushrooms each carrying 2 pounds, and arrived at the orphanage before nine o'clock.
This is the first time Luo Han has returned to the orphanage since he developed his powers.
The Love Orphanage was run by the mother-in-law who had never married. It was once famous. However, more than thirty years ago, a senior who left the orphanage accidentally offended the powerful people at the time.
, the orphanage also suffered an unknown disaster. Overnight, the building was about to collapse. No matter how hard the director and grandma tried her best, some of the social benefits they deserved were still gone. There was not enough financial support.
, the orphanage quickly declined within a few years. If the director, the grandmother, had not had the foresight to open up several acres of vegetable fields in the yard, raise several cages of chickens and pigs, and barely achieve self-sufficiency, the orphanage would have
It has been closed down long ago.
As soon as they stopped, the guard at the entrance of the courtyard had already recognized Chen Xiao's license plate number. He ran over and opened the locked iron door with a smile on his face. Chen Xiao waved to the guard politely and flew out a packet of King Furong as a token of thanks.
After asking where the dean's grandmother was, he drove the car into the yard. Luo Han started the car again and followed slowly in.
At the entrance of the courtyard is a nearly 500-square-meter grassland, open-air activity field, and playground. Several 5 and 6-year-old children are playing. They are all known to Luo Han. In recent years, the orphans who have been taken in by the dean's grandmother have been wearing clothes.
The clothes are not old, and some of them were sent by Luo Han last summer.
After the car stopped, Luo Han and Chen Xiao jumped out and greeted the young brothers and sisters cordially, leaving two bags of beautifully packaged high-end candies for everyone to share equally, and then walked into the office of the dean and grandma together.
.
The grandmother, the dean, who was dressed in black and red flowers, was wearing reading glasses, sitting quietly at the rosewood desk that had been with her for more than 40 years, reading the newspaper. The morning sunlight filtered through and was so clean that there was no trace of dust.
The glass window gently shone on her delicate shoulders, giving people an extremely peaceful and warm feeling.
This has been the old habit of Grandma Dean for decades. Unless she is out on the road, she will take some time to read the newspaper every morning.
But for some reason, Luo Han felt sensitively that there was a hint of reluctance in the dean's grandmother's eyebrows at this time.
What is she reluctant to part with?
Without thinking much, he stepped forward quickly: "Grandma dean, Chen Xiao and I are here to see you! I wish you a happy birthday and may you live younger and younger. This is our gift, I hope you like it!"
What he handed over was a wild ginseng that had just been unearthed this morning. It was selected from the third batch. It has been effective for nearly 40 years. It was packaged in moisture-absorbing cardboard and velvet boxes.
It can also be kept for a few days. As for the two plants in the second batch, it was not that Luo Han was reluctant to part with them, but he was afraid that the news would spread and cause trouble to the dean's grandmother.
Chen Xiao also smiled and offered his blessings: "Yes, Grandma Dean, Xiao Xiao wishes you health, longevity and all the best!"
His gift is a 5,000 yuan shopping mall stored-value card, which can be used to buy things directly at the nearest Tianhong shopping mall.
It’s not that I don’t want to give money, it’s just that every time I gave money, the dean’s grandma would accept it in front of them and use it on the orphans in the hospital. Since today is the dean’s grandma’s birthday, she can’t be allowed to do this again.
.
The dean's grandma put down the newspaper, looked at the two of them, her eyes soon became loving and grateful, and smiled happily: "You are serious enough to come here every year."
Luo Han chuckled: "We are so close, so I should come to see you! By the way, Grandma Dean, Xiao Xiao and I still have some fruits in the car. Are they still in the recreation room?"
The dean's grandma was surprised: "There are fruits! That's okay, just put them in the recreation room! The children rarely eat fruits, so today I borrowed them from you! But it cost you two money again..."
Luo Han quickly interrupted her self-mockery: "Grandma dean, today is your sixtieth birthday, why don't you eat something good? I discussed it with Aunt Du before I came here, don't worry, it won't cost much! Besides, I discussed it with Aunt Du before I came here.
, I am now doing some business in partnership with Chen Xiao, and I have made some money. I can still afford this fruit, right, Xiao Xiao?”….
Chen Xiao immediately understood and immediately agreed: "Yes, Grandma Dean, you also know that Ahan has been smarter than me since he was a child."
The dean's grandma was so happy that she couldn't help but click on his forehead: "You! You know how to sing along with Xiaohan!"
At this time, Aunt Du, who was in charge of logistics in the courtyard, poked her head at the door. When she saw the two of them, a relieved smile appeared on her face, which was no longer very young: "You are really early! By the way, have you seen Guozhu?"
And Aizhi? They both said yesterday that they had something to discuss with Xiaoxiao."
Guozhu and Aizhi are a man and a woman that Luo Han saw quarreling with each other since childhood, Xu Guozhu and Wu Aizhi.
Just as Luo Han was about to answer, he saw the dean's grandmother's face change and she shouted sternly: "Yun'er!"
Aunt Du's maiden name is the word Yun. In the entire orphanage, that's what the dean and grandma would call her.
However, the dean's grandmother has always had a good temper and is quite kind to everyone. However, it is extremely rare for her to be so strict now in these years.
Luo Han and Chen Xiao looked at each other in surprise, their eyes full of doubts.
Obviously, the dean's grandmother did not want Chen Xiao, Xu Guozhu, and Wu Aizhi to communicate in private.
How is this going?
Xu Guozhu and Wu Aizhi are the only two children in the school who took the college entrance examination this year, and both were admitted to university. Does Aunt Du mean something else when she spreads this message?
Confused, Luo Han still shook his head: "No."
Aunt Du was slightly aggrieved by the dean's grandmother's drink, and her eyes were slightly red, and her face was quite helpless and anxious. After standing at the door for a while, she saw that Luo Han only said one sentence without saying anything, and there was an obvious expression in his eyes.
He felt a little disappointed and his voice became lowered: "Well, that's okay, I, I'll look elsewhere."
She looked at the dean's grandmother again, and saw that the latter still had a straight face. She could only sigh inwardly and turned around to leave. However, the departure steps and the back turned seemed particularly heavy and desolate to Luo Han.
Luo Han was even more confused: "What could make Grandma Dean suddenly change her face and scold Aunt Du, who she has always relied on? Guozhu and Aizhi rarely caused trouble before!"
His heart moved, and he turned around and asked tentatively: "Grandma, dean, I remember that you mentioned to me last month that both Guozhu and Aizhi were admitted to university. Have you received the admission notice? There are many words."
The smile on the dean's grandmother's face immediately became quite forced: "Yes, I received them last week. One is from Kyoto University and the other is from Yangcheng University of Foreign Languages."
This change further aggravated Luo Han's doubts, and he quickly asked: "Then, is the tuition fee enough?"
The dean's grandmother's eyes flickered a little, but she hurriedly replied: "That's enough, that's enough. For my birthday this time, many children have sent some money over. Plus what they saved before, it's enough!"
Really?
Luo Han, who was familiar with the dean's grandmother's character, began to be suspicious, because her expression really made her feel guilty.
At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang with a text message notification. When he saw the name in the message, Luo Han's heart suddenly jumped.
It was actually from Aunt Du who had just left.
Obviously, Aunt Du did not dare to disobey the dean's grandmother's opinion in person, so she had to use this method to convey the message.
When he opened it and took a look, the contents inside immediately made Luo Han's heart twitch violently.
"Xiaohan, the dean plans to sell her rosewood table to pay tuition fees for Guozhu, Aizhi, and future college students. You and Xiaoxiao should persuade her quickly! You must not sell that thing! Then
It’s the dowry left by the dean’s mother who passed away long ago!”
These few words are full of anxiety and powerlessness!
