Chapter 1654 Young Wang Zhao 2
When they parked their car at the second state-owned restaurant, Lu Erxiong pushed open the door and followed Liu Ran out. He happily accompanied Lu Jiang and stood on tiptoe to watch Lu Jiang pay the bill and food coupons and watch the waiter put the steamed buns into the basket they brought for them.
The buns were wrapped in slightly yellowed gauze and covered with a small quilt to keep them warm.
"Dad, why did you buy so many buns? I want to eat some too!" Lu Erxiong counted the buns when the waiter was counting them. There were so many that he couldn't finish them.
Lu Jiang took the change from the waiter and patted his head, "Let's go to the welfare home and eat with the kids."
Children? Lu Erxiong's eyes were full of anticipation.
After visiting seven or eight state-owned restaurants and buying a total of 440 meat buns for 44 yuan, Lu Jiang brought his family and two guards to the children's welfare home where Dang Nian'en was.
During the winter, adults get up later than usual, let alone the children in the welfare home.
Facing female comrades, Lu Jiang rarely spoke when it was not related to work, so Feng Qingxue stepped forward and said with a smile: "You are here, why do you say hello? Do you have to say hello to make a scene? We just brought the children to visit the children in the welfare home. Comrade Lin, have you cooked in the cafeteria? We brought about 400 buns for the children as breakfast, you can just make some porridge, and don't forget to make enough for the nine of us."

It’s better to eat vegetarian buns after they are cold, but it’s not good to eat meat buns after they are cold.
Lu Jiang interrupted, "The weather is very cold, and the buns get cold very quickly. Covering the basket with a quilt doesn't seem to help. When you cook porridge, put the buns on the sieve to steam. Cold buns can easily cause diarrhea."
Dean Lin rushed over breathlessly, "How can we greet the two leaders so early in the morning?"
Dean Lin rubbed his hands. "How can I be so embarrassed? Comrade leaders, you two have helped the orphanage a lot. Because of your concern, many soldiers and local cadres have donated money and materials. I have recorded every penny."
Their arrival woke up all the children.
"Don't be polite, quickly ask the canteen to cook, we haven't eaten yet, we're waiting!" Feng Qingxue patted her hands, "Send someone to the canteen to tell them to cook whatever they usually eat, don't make it just for us. You, take us to see the children's living environment. Our children have been spoiled since they were young and have never seen the sufferings of the world. We don't want them to not know how to cherish, and we don't want them to develop a wasteful character."
Dean Lin expressed her understanding that the more reasonable families are, the more they pay attention to their children's education. Before liberation, she lived in the capital, attended a girls' school, and witnessed the behavior of scholarly families.
All six children have plump muscles and bones and outstanding looks. You can tell at a glance that they have never suffered from hardship or hunger.
So, Dean Lin told the canteen to make sweet potato porridge as usual, and to put the buns in the basket in the pot to steam, so that the porridge would not be cooked while the buns were cold.
Then, Director Lin took them to visit the orphanage’s accommodation.
The walls were gray and mottled, and every room was empty except for a large kang. The quilts were also tattered and there were many children lying on each kang. Boys slept in one room, and girls slept in another, huddled together for warmth. The older ones were in their teens, and the younger ones were crying for food and were taken care of by the older children. Without exception, all of them were skinny, pale-faced, and raggedly dressed.
