Chapter 109 Children in the Orphanage

Fortunately, the little girl is still young and there is plenty of time.

After the beginning of autumn, the weather was cool except for a short period of heat in the afternoon. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Biao sent a message that the quilts were ready and could be delivered at any time.

Dai Qing looked at the calendar and decided to go to the orphanage on the tenth day of August and buy some mooncakes for the children so that they could celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Taking advantage of the free time during the class change, Dai Qing rode her bike to the small commodity city to buy some snacks for the children.

After looking around, she suddenly realized that there were no lollipops in 1990, only fruit candies and the more expensive White Rabbit milk candies.

Looking at the colorful fruit candies, Dai Qing couldn't help laughing. She had confused the time.

In the end, Dai Qing bought two kilograms of fruit candy, one kilogram of White Rabbit tea, a few kilograms of chicken cakes and six old-fashioned moon cakes.

Finally, I bought some pencils and notebooks for the older children, a whole bag of them, which cost me ninety yuan.

After getting ready, Dai Qing said to Cheng Hao on her way to work, "I'm off work on the tenth day of the first lunar month, and I'm going to deliver bedding to the orphanage. Do you want to come with me?"

"Okay, I'll go up to find you."

When Cheng Hao thought of Yan Biao's appearance, he couldn't help but frown. He was worried about letting that kind of person travel with the child.

Dai Qing got up early on the eleventh day of the New Year, changed into dirt-resistant and wear-resistant denim overalls, small leather shoes, and a neat bun, fed the dog, and then stood at the intersection with the package waiting for Yan Biao's truck to come.

"So early?"

Cheng Hao came over with a bag in his hand. Looking at the two large packages, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Are you moving your entire home here?"

"No, I bought some food for the kids. This package is school supplies. Last time I saw a kid there use up all the pages of a notebook. Homework books should be in short supply, so I bought some."

Anyway, she is alone now, so if I can help her within my ability, I will do myself a favor.

"It's a blessing for those children to meet you." Cheng Hao looked at her quietly for a moment, "You fortune tellers don't care about fate. You meet each other, and you are their benefactor."

"You are the benefactor of the children. I exist because of you." Dai Qing chuckled. Ever since Cheng Hao told her about the two-year agreement, his attitude towards her has been different.

There was less distance and more invisible care. Although the two of them kept a reasonable distance, they got along very well.

They talk and act like old friends, and there is no pressure on either side.

While the two were talking, a truck stopped across the street.

"Master Dai, here."

Secretary Yang jumped down from the co-pilot seat, adjusted his glasses, trotted over to the two of them, and bowed to Dai Qing.

"Master, the boss can't come because a friend is visiting him, so he asked me to go on his behalf."

Secretary Yang explained gently and nodded to Cheng Hao beside him.

"If there are any problems, I will write them down and then report them to my boss."

"Then I'll trouble you. Let's go." She didn't care whether Yan Biao came or not. In fact, she just needed a driver to deliver the goods. Since Yan Biao wanted to express his wish, she naturally wouldn't stop him.

Anyway, that's an orphanage, and it would be good for the children if it attracted more attention.

The problem is that trucks have few seats, except for the co-driver, there is the cabin.

In accordance with the principle of ladies first, Dai Qing sat in the passenger seat, while Secretary Yang and Cheng Hao sat in the carriage with their bedding, and they drove to the suburbs together.

With Dai Qing's guidance, the car stopped at the gate of the orphanage after an hour.

The car horn sounded, attracting the attention of the children in the orphanage. Several children peeked out through the crack in the door and saw Dai Qing getting out of the car. Excited shouts immediately rang out in the yard.

"Wow, a big car, a big car."

"The sister from last time is here again."

"Hurry up and tell the dean's mother to open the door for Big Sister."

Dai Qing stood at the door and without even knocking, a child ran over to report.

After a while, as the door opened, Dean Li walked out with a smile, "When the children heard that you were here, they danced with joy. They have been missing you since your last visit."

"I missed them, too. I came to see them and bring some bedding over. The weather here changes quickly. It can get cold in an instant."

Looking at those pairs of innocent eyes, especially the little girl who sneaked up to her, Dai Qing couldn't help rubbing her head.

These are abandoned children, and what they lack most is love.

Seeing Secretary Yang coming over with a briefcase, Dai Qing introduced him, "This is Director Li of the orphanage. She is the one who adopted all these children."

"Hello, Director Li. Your great love is admirable. Our boss said that if you need anything, you can let us know. We will satisfy you within our capabilities." Secretary Yang nodded slightly, looked at the dilapidated scene of the orphanage, and repeated Yan Biao's meaning.

"You are all great people. I thank you on behalf of these children." Dean Li shook Secretary Yang's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

Secretary Yang, who was known as a great philanthropist, subconsciously adjusted his glasses and agreed with a smile.

Afterwards, several people worked together to move the bedding in, and they finished the transportation in just a few trips.

Dai Qing took out the White Rabbit candies and handed the rest to Dean Li. She looked at the little girl who always followed her, took out a White Rabbit candy, squatted beside her,

"Tell me, what's your name?"

"My name is Huahua, and I'm four and a half years old." The little girl blinked and spoke timidly.

"Huahua, that sounds really nice. Here's a White Rabbit candy as a reward for you."

Dai Qing opened the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into her mouth. Looking at the little girl squinting her eyes sweetly, like a sated cat, she couldn't help but stroke her head.

"Big sister, my name is Duoduo, and I'm five years old." The little girl next to her became anxious and came over immediately, staring at the candy bag in her hand.

"Duoduo sounds nice too. I'll give you one as a reward." Dai Qing also peeled a candy for her and put it into her mouth.

Seeing the two people getting candies, the other children gathered around them, chattering and reporting their names and ages, looking extremely anxious.

"Everyone is good. Line up first. Everyone will get one. Don't crowd." Dai Qing held up the candy bag and waved it at the children.

The children looked left and right, then stood in a row hesitantly, their eyes unable to leave the candy bag for a moment.

Dai Qing distributed the dumplings to each child one by one, regardless of age. She gave each child two dumplings. In the end, there was less than half a pound left.

The children who received the candies were as happy as if it were New Year’s Day, and the whole yard was filled with laughter.

Dean Li watched the children running back and forth happily and couldn't help but sigh, "It's been a long time since the children have been so happy. Thank you for seeing them."

Although she tried her best to take care of these children, her ability was limited after all, and just trying not to go hungry was already her limit.
