"Brother Beixiao, Brother Beixiao... how are you?"
Jiang Yiran, who had been observing the commotion outside, quickly ran out of the house and pounced on Huo Beixiao.
Huo Beixiao's face was pale, but there were two red patches on his cheeks, which was obviously abnormal.
She subconsciously reached out and touched Huo Beixiao's forehead, only to find it burning hot.
She paused for a moment, then her eyes darted around. With a fever this high, Huo Beixiao should be delirious.
If it were at this time...
Isn't this God giving her a chance?
She dragged Huo Beixiao into the car and got into the driver's seat herself.
Although she had never touched a car in this life, she had obtained a driver's license in her previous life. After briefly familiarizing herself with the structure and operation of cars from this era, she started the car and drove off.
...
When Lin Xiaohui returned with her three children, Yang Qiaoqiao had already woken up and was asking Zheng Yulan where Lin Xiaohui and the children had gone.
Lin Xiaohui's eyes darted around, and she didn't dare to tell Yang Qiaoqiao the truth. Just as she was thinking of what excuse to make up, she saw Lin Xiaohui and the others return.
She quickly said, "Hey, Mom, you're back! Qiaoqiao woke up and was worried because she didn't see anyone!"
"Hehe." Lin Xiaohui was a little guilty, and chuckled twice before saying, "The kids got bored watching chickens, ducks, and rabbits at home, so I took them out for a walk."
Yang Qiaoqiao didn't think much of it.
After waking up, she was fully recovered and was planning to go back to Yun County to take a look.
Now, in addition to the garment factory and Yiren Clothing Store, Yun County also owns the cement factory and the electronics market. Since it's her business, she naturally has to take good care of it.
As for Beiqiao Square and the clothing studios here, she plans to visit them after returning from Yun County.
But just as Yang Qiaoqiao was about to leave, Luo Yingzi came to find her first.
Luo Yingzi looked at Yang Qiaoqiao and asked directly and urgently, "Sister Qiaoqiao, are you and Brother Beixiao really divorced?"
Yang Qiaoqiao nodded, "Yes, we're divorced!"
"Good riddance!" Luo Yingzi suddenly roared excitedly through gritted teeth, "Sister Qiaoqiao, I never knew that Brother Beixiao was such a scoundrel."
If I had known he was such a jerk, I wouldn't have done it last time..."
As Luo Yingzi spoke, she felt even more guilty towards Yang Qiaoqiao because of what she had done last time.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, I'm so sorry..." Luo Yingzi couldn't help but apologize to Yang Qiaoqiao again.
Yang Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "That's all in the past, no need to bring it up again."
For the next two days, Yang Qiaoqiao didn't stop either, and was busy with business matters.
After finishing her work, she bought a lot of New Year's goods and transported them to Song Lixiang's welfare home.
Last year, before the Lunar New Year, she returned home and discussed it with Song Lixiang, and then submitted a donation application to the relevant departments.
The relevant departments were very efficient; they quickly approved her application and even granted her land.
She then wired the money back, and Song Lixiang would write to her every month to report on the construction progress of the welfare home. It took about six months for the entire welfare home to be completed.
After the welfare home hung up its plaque and Song Lixiang moved in with several children, she picked up nearly ten more baby girls at the welfare home's entrance in the past six months.
Residents from the surrounding area also bring abandoned baby girls to the orphanage.
So in just six months, the number of children in the welfare home has grown to nearly twenty.
Apart from the few that Song Lixiang had raised before, the others were still infants drinking milk, and Song Lixiang couldn't take care of them all by herself.
Yang Qiaoqiao then asked Wu Xiaocao to help Song Lixiang hire four more aunties to take care of the children with Song Lixiang.
As for the expenses, the clothing factory in Yun County allocates special funds to the welfare home every month.
Yang Qiaoqiao and Song Lixiang took a tour of the welfare home.
Song Xiaoxia, Chen Zhenzhen, and Dandan, the older children, now all have their own rooms in pairs.
When the children saw Yang Qiaoqiao arrive, they all surrounded her, calling her "Sister Qiaoqiao." Their words were full of gratitude towards Yang Qiaoqiao, and you could tell from their expressions that the children were sincere.
Yang Qiaoqiao patted their little heads and took out the New Year's gifts she had brought for them to give to them.
Yang Qiaoqiao's New Year's gift was a new schoolbag filled with brand-new pens, notebooks, and other school supplies.
The children were even happier as they carried their new schoolbags filled with school supplies.
Song Xiaoxia and Zhou Ling'er are about the same age, and the two children have been writing letters to each other.
Knowing that Yang Qiaoqiao was coming back, Zhou Ling'er asked Yang Qiaoqiao to bring gifts for Song Xiaoxia and Dandan.
Zhou Ling'er also specially asked Yang Qiaoqiao to bring back photos of Haicheng's street scenes, night views, and the sea to Song Xiaoxia.
Not to mention Song Xiaoxia and her children, even Song Lixiang looked at those photos with envy and longing on her face.
"Sister Qiaoqiao, I will definitely study hard and go to university to find you and Ling'er. I also want to bring my mother and sisters to Haicheng with me." Song Xiaoxia said with great ambition, clenching her little fist.
Yang Qiaoqiao patted the little girl's head. "Okay, Ling'er and I will be waiting for you in Haicheng."
Song Lixiang also smiled and said, "Mom is also waiting for Xiaoxia to become successful and take Mom to the big city."
Yang Qiaoqiao also brought each of the aunties working at the welfare home a new set of clothes and a piece of fabric.
The aunties can wear the new clothes themselves, and they can take the fabric home and do whatever they want with it.
As for the other babies, Yang Qiaoqiao bought five more ewes for the welfare home.
Although it will soon be 1991, milk powder is still a scarce and high-end commodity that ordinary families cannot afford, let alone orphanages that support so many children.
So when Song Lixiang found her first child at the entrance of the welfare home, she went to a nearby village to buy a ewe that had just given birth to raise it and milked it to feed the child.
Later, the number of children in the orphanage increased, and so did the number of sheep.
However, everyone was sending unwanted baby girls here, and the milk produced by the few ewes fed at the orphanage wasn't enough for all the children.
Therefore, Song Lixiang usually feeds these children only with pure goat milk until they are three months old, and then starts to add rice cereal.
However, Song Lixiang and the four aunties are all loving and responsible. They have taken good care of the more than ten babies in the welfare home. They are fair-skinned and tender, with chubby cheeks and dry bottoms.
They are even better than the children raised by some unsophisticated families.
Seeing how well these children are growing up, Yang Qiaoqiao felt that all the money she had invested was worthwhile.
