Chapter 254 I’m a bit bored and want to spend other people’s money
"What are you planning?"
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows slightly.
There was a hint of confusion and inquiry in his eyes. He first looked at Su Qian, then at Xiao Liu, trying to find the answer from their faces.
However, Su Qian smiled mysteriously.
There was a mysterious curve at the corner of his mouth and a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"Nothing, just a little bored and wanted to spend other people's money."
Lu Yao: “?”
When Lu Yao heard this, the expression on his face froze instantly, his mouth slightly opened, and his face was full of question marks.
He knows every word and how to put them together.
He didn't quite understand what was going on?
However, Su Qian did not intend to explain too much. She skillfully opened Meituan on her mobile phone, crossed her legs, sat comfortably on the sofa, and continued to communicate with Xiaoliu.
“Can hairy crabs be used?”
Xiaoliu's voice was clear and loud, with a hint of inquiry.
"It's not good. Children have bad teeth." Su Qian's voice was soft and gentle. She seemed to be thinking about something and said with a slight frown.
"That's right." Xiaoliu agreed, nodding his head like a chick pecking at rice.
"Order whatever's expensive."
It was Su Qian's voice again, with a sly tone in her voice, "Salmon is good, both cats and dogs can eat it."
The two of them were whispering to each other.
The sounds came one after another.
It lasted for half an hour without stopping.
Lu Yao sat aside, listening to their conversation, not knowing what the two were planning.
I only vaguely knew that Su Qian seemed to want to order takeout.
He became more and more curious, and glanced at the two of them from time to time.
After being busy for a while.
Su Qian felt her fingers were cramping. She shook them lightly, then handed the phone to Xiao Liu and said with a smile:
"Six, I'll leave it to you."
"Leave it to me!"
Xiaoliu patted his chest.
"I feel like I'm isolated by you." Lu Yao curled his lips.
He looked at the two of them with a wronged look on his face.
Su Qian raised her eyes to look at Lu Yao, with a smile in her eyes, and said jokingly: "Oh, you will know later."
On this day, deliverymen from dozens of miles around were busy.
In a dilapidated orphanage in Linjiang City.
It was lunchtime.
A female volunteer who looked to be in her early twenties, with a face still showing some youthfulness and clear, bright eyes.
"Dean, it's time for dinner. I'll go and ask the children to come to the cafeteria." The girl said crisply.
She has a sweet smile on her face and sparkling eyes.
Hundreds of orphans arrived in the cafeteria one after another.
The oldest of these orphans is only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is only two or three months old.
The old and dilapidated cafeteria was filled with wind and the cold wind was blowing everywhere, freezing the children so much that their hands and faces were red.
They seemed to be accustomed to this kind of cold.
They just snuggled up to each other, rubbed their hands, and their eyes showed their desire for food.
There was a tattered TV above the cafeteria, the screen flickering with light, playing advertisements for hamburgers and Coke.
A boy in a worn cotton coat stared at the TV, his eyes filled with extreme longing.
"Sister Xiaoxia, what does a hamburger taste like?"
He swallowed, leaned in closer to smell the girl, and asked in a low voice.
It's not just him.
Many children were staring at the TV screen in a daze, their eyes full of longing.
Most of them have never eaten food like hamburgers, which are available everywhere outside, and only see them occasionally on TV.
Let them be filled with curiosity and yearning.
When Xiaoxia heard the boy's question, her heart ached.
She squatted down, gently touched the boy's head, and said softly, "Hamburgers are delicious. There's soft bread with a delicious patty in the middle, as well as fresh vegetables and delicious sauces. When there's a chance in the future, Sister Xiaoxia will definitely take you to try them."
The boy listened to Xiaoxia's description.
She swallowed, the desire in her eyes became even stronger, but she nodded sensibly and said, "Yes, Sister Xiaoxia, I know. When we grow up and make money, we can go eat by ourselves."
That childish voice revealed a maturity that was inconsistent with his age.
The other children also echoed.
Although he said sensible words, his little eyes would glance at the TV from time to time, imagining how delicious the hamburger would taste.
After Xiaoxia stood up, she looked at the TV screen and sighed.
"How about ordering takeout for them?"
Xiaoxia whispered to her fellow volunteer, with a hint of hesitation in her voice.
"Do you have enough to live on?"
The companion sighed, his face filled with helplessness. "The children in this orphanage are worth at least eighty, if not a hundred. With our meager living expenses, there's no way we can even afford to order takeout for them."
There was a sense of powerlessness in his words.
They are all college students who come to the orphanage as volunteers. They have to ask their families for their living expenses and are already financially stretched.
Besides, even if you order takeout, you can't just order a few servings and let the other kids watch, right?
That scene is heartbreaking to think about.
Xiaoxia bit her lip, her face full of helplessness and a hint of loss in her eyes.
Just then, the sound of an electric bike horn rang out at the gate of the orphanage, sounding particularly abrupt in the quiet yard.
Several people looked in the direction of the sound.
"Is this the Xiaoshan Orphanage?"
I saw two or three people wearing bright yellow takeout uniforms walking into the yard carrying large and small bags of takeout.
"……Yes."
Xiaoxia didn't quite understand the situation. She nodded blankly, her eyes filled with confusion. She asked her companion, "Did you order takeout?"
There was a hint of doubt in his tone, but also a hint of expectation.
"No."
The companion shook his head, also looking confused.
The other volunteers and orphanage staff were also bewildered and looked at each other.
Out of consideration for the children's emotions, most of them would not order takeout alone. The sudden arrival of takeout at this time left everyone confused.
The delivery man confirmed it.
He put down the takeaway in his hand and said with a smile: "This is a takeaway that someone ordered for the orphanage. The order said it should be delivered here."
"Ordered for our orphanage? But we didn't order any takeout. Was it delivered to the wrong place?" Xiaoxia was even more confused and asked doubtfully.
The delivery man looked at the order information.
He checked the address again and said, "Yes, it's right here, at the Xiaoshan Orphanage. The person who placed the order noted that it was for the children."
Xiaoxia and her companions looked at each other in confusion.
"Can you tell us which kind-hearted person ordered it?" Xiaoxia couldn't help but ask the deliverymen.
The delivery man glanced at the order in his hand.
There was a complicated look on his face, as if he was struggling over whether to say it or not.
"…Um, 'a brute'."
The delivery man spoke awkwardly, his face turning pale and red, and he was obviously very surprised by this note.
Everyone in the orphanage: “???”
