"Siyan." As soon as she saw the beauty, Gu Rou waved to her, ran over and took her hand and said, "Why are you here so early?"
"I'm an unemployed vagrant now, and I'm about to run out of money to eat. If you, the boss, invite me, of course I have to come early. Otherwise, if you don't want me, I will go hungry." The beauty pulled Gu Rou into a giggle.
"You guy, you are just talking nonsense." Gu Rou glared at the beauty, pulled her to Zhao Chen, and introduced: "This is my boyfriend Zhao Chen."
"Hello, my name is Quan Siyan." The beauty stretched out her delicate hand to Zhao Chen generously and said, "Boss, please take good care of me in the future."
"I'm not a boss." Zhao Chen smiled and reached out to shake Quan Siyan's hand. It was soft and smooth, as soft as if there were no bones. It felt so good that people didn't want to let go when they held it.
However, Zhao Chen only touched it once and then retracted his hand.
"Look, I'm scaring you, but I can't eat you." Quan Siyan looked at Zhao Chen's hand that retracted in time and couldn't help laughing.
"But I'm afraid I'll eat you." As soon as Zhao Chen said this, Quan Siyan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Rou with a giggle and said, "Gu Rou, your boyfriend is really interesting."
Gu Rou didn't speak, but a happy smile flashed across her face, and she leaned closer to Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen also reached out to hold Gu Rou's hand.
"Okay, please stop showing affection in front of me, or I'll try to steal your love with a sword." Quan Siyan said with a teasing smile to Gu Rou.
"I watch him every day, so you don't have time to take the knife." Gu Roujiao smiled.
"I'm really impressed by you. You have completely turned into a little woman now." Quan Siyan shook her head in disappointment, took out a notebook from her bag and handed it to Zhao Chen: "This is my graduation certificate and
Degree certificates and resumes, including copies of ID cards, are all inside."
"You can give these to Mother Lu." Zhao Chen said with a smile: "According to your previous agreement, it will be four thousand in the first month. If Mother Lu has no objection to you after one month, it will be six thousand per month."
"No problem." Quan Siyan nodded lightly.
"But you have to be mentally prepared. There are a lot of children here, and some of them have congenital defects, so it's not easy to communicate with them." Zhao Chen said: "In addition, I'm afraid you don't have as many vacations as other teachers."
"Don't worry, I have already prepared." Quan Siyan said with a smile: "In order to communicate better with the children, I plan to go to a school for the deaf and mute to learn sign language, and I also plan to buy some psychology books and come back to read them, because
I found that many children here have some mental problems."
"Brother Chen, when Quan Siyan was in college, he and I often went to the orphanage and nursing home in Dingyang as volunteers." Gu Rou explained to Zhao Chen softly.
"That's good." Zhao Chen felt relieved. It seemed that Quan Siyan really wanted to do this job. If she could treat the children well, Zhao Chen would not be stingy.
Zhao Chen, who was also born in an orphanage, has a strange feeling for the children in the orphanage. He hopes that the children in the orphanage will have a good future when they grow up.
But Zhao Chen also understands in his heart that in today's society, it is really difficult to live a better life without any background. If there is no culture, he will always be able to live at the bottom of society.
Therefore, Zhao Chen proposed to hire a teacher for the children who could tutor them outside the classroom. Zhao Chen believed that as long as the children cherish this opportunity, their academic performance will definitely be much better, which will be of great help to their future studies.
.
"Mother Lu, please arrange a room for Teacher Quan. From now on, she will be responsible for tutoring the children's homework." Zhao Chen looked at Mother Lu next to him and said, "I will send her salary every month."
"Thank you, Xiao Chen'er. With Teacher Quan, I no longer have to worry about the children's homework." Mother Lu looked at Zhao Chen and Gu Rou with a sincere face. She understood that with Teacher Quan to teach
Children, they will have a much easier time in the future.
Although Gu Rou helped her in the past, Gu Rou has her own career after all, but Quan Siyan is different. This is her job and she doesn't have to be distracted by other things.
Moreover, if the grades of the children in the orphanage in cultural classes are improved, it will also increase the adoption rate of others, which will not only reduce the pressure on the orphanage, but also allow the children to gain the warmth of the family.
It seems that there is no relationship between children's cultural classes and adoption, but people nowadays are very practical. Even if they adopt a child, they will choose the one with the best performance in all aspects.
Take the cultural class as an example. If you adopt a child with good grades and go back, they will have face and treat the child better. However, if you adopt a child with failed grades every time, you will often be called to criticize by the teacher, not to mention that the child is just another person.
Even if the child is adopted, even if it is their own child, the parents will be very angry.
If they lose face, it will be almost impossible to think of them being good to their children.
Zhao Chen and Black Bear were like this back then. They were adopted by others several times. Because they were too naughty and had poor academic performance, they were eventually sent back to the orphanage. In the end, no one dared to adopt them anymore, so they could only stay in the orphanage.
hospital.
Mother Lu happily led Quan Siyan upstairs. As a classmate, good friend, and employer, Gu Rou naturally couldn't leave just like that. There was nothing to do today, and Zhao Chen didn't leave either. He stayed with Gu Rou.
.
"Xiao Chen'er, there's something I forgot to tell you." Mother Lu suddenly pulled Zhao Chen aside and whispered: "When the old dean picked you up at the door, you still kept those things on your body.
When I was taken away by Zhou Ping, I didn't give it to you because you were too young."
"After so many years, I almost forgot. Now that you have grown up, it's time to leave it to you."
Zhao Chen's body trembled and he said urgently: "Mother Lu, what are these things?"
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just the swaddle that was used to wrap you up, the things you were wearing, and something else. I don't remember much after so many years." Mother Lu said, "Wait a moment, I'll
Go get the key and go up together."
In less than a moment, Mother Lu took the key and took Zhao Chen to a security door on the third floor. She took out the key and opened it. What she saw was rows of grids. Each grid was locked, and there was a word written on it.
number.
As soon as the two entered, Zhao Chen immediately discovered that the walls of this room were all painted with fire-proof and moisture-proof materials, and the floor also had floor tiles. It was the best room in the entire orphanage.
You can imagine how much attention the orphanage attaches to the things inside.
"Whenever we pick up a child, there will be a grid for him here, which contains all the things we picked up when we picked him up." Mother Lu smiled and said, "You are the one thousand two hundred and thirty-eight we picked up in our orphanage.
My child, your grid is over there, come with me."
The two of them came to the innermost place and stopped in front of a grid, which happened to have the number that Lu's mother had just mentioned.
Taking the key to open the grid, Mother Lu smiled and said, "All your things are inside. When the old dean retired, he specially told me to take good care of this grid. No one is allowed to touch the things inside."
"Thank you, Mother Lu." Zhao Chen thanked him gratefully and took out the things in the grid with trembling hands.
A swaddling bag for the baby, a tiger-head hat, tiger-head shoes, and nothing else.
"These things were washed and put inside by the old dean himself. The workmanship of the three items is very good and the materials are good. They have not deteriorated much after more than 20 years. In that era, these things were not worth much.
Fei, most people can't afford it." After speaking, Mother Lu sighed slightly, and the kind smile on her face disappeared.
Zhao Chen didn't speak, his face was gloomy, he held his hands tightly and crushed the tiger-head shoes.
Mother Lu is right. The materials and workmanship of these three items are very good even in modern times, let alone that era.
In that era when the economy was still underdeveloped, those who could produce these things were definitely either rich or noble. For these people, there was no problem in raising ten children, not to mention one.
But they abandoned themselves.
If it was a poor family that couldn't afford to raise it and then throw it away, Zhao Chen would feel better. This was the only luck that Zhao Chen had in his heart for so many years.
But unexpectedly, this willingness was shattered now, and the final reality was so cruel and unacceptable. At this time, Zhao Chen felt as if someone was digging out his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Child, don't be angry. All this has passed. You have grown up now and have your own career, relatives and friends. There is no need to be angry about these past things anymore." Mother Lu advised: "Maybe you can
My parents have no choice but to do so."
"Thank you, Mother Lu." Zhao Chen resisted the tears from flowing out.
Mother Lu smiled and said: "You grew up on my milk, you are my child, why are you being polite to me?"
"Oh, I almost forgot something important." Suddenly, Mother Lu reached out and took the swaddling clothes from Zhao Chen's hand, found a seam and tore it open, and actually took out a crescent-shaped jade from it.
"This thing was the only thing that I had when I picked you up. Originally we planned to hang it around your neck, but the old dean said that this thing is very valuable and we were afraid that you would lose it, and we were also afraid that others would recognize it and it would be harmful to you.
It was unfavorable, so I sewed it together with your swaddling clothes and prepared to give it to you when you grow up."
"It's a pity that you left in such a hurry, we all forgot about it, and this thing has stayed here."
Taking the crescent jade, a cold feeling passed into his hands. Zhao Chen took a look and saw that it was actually a piece of fine jade. It was completely green and clear, without any impurities, but there was no carving on it.
These years of being outside have allowed Zhao Chen to make a lot of friends from all walks of life, including those in the jade business. So after looking at it carefully for a while, he concluded that the value of this crescent jade is at least one million.
.
Although he suddenly got a valuable item, Zhao Chen didn't feel any joy, and his heart became heavier and heavier.
