After putting the suitcase in the trunk, Xiang Zhilan sat in the driver's seat and started the car.
Before she went to see Ni Sitian today, she called the director of the welfare home where she often volunteered to ask if the welfare home was short-staffed.
The wages for working in welfare homes have always been very low, so there is often a shortage of staff, and they basically rely on kind-hearted people to do volunteer work.
She expressed her desire to work in the welfare sector, which made the director very happy, and he asked her when she could go.
When she drove to the entrance of the welfare home, it was exactly six o'clock in the evening, and the children were having dinner.
She dragged her suitcase inside, and the children rushed out as soon as they saw her.
Although she used to only come once a month or so, she got along very well with the children, and they were all very fond of her.
"Zhi Lan, you're here." The dean walked over with a smile, first coaxing the children into the house to continue eating, and then leading Xiang Zhi Lan to the back building, saying, "You often volunteered here during college, so you know the conditions here. I'll leave you here for now. I'll have someone bring a mattress over tomorrow so it'll be softer to sleep on."
As they spoke, they walked to the dormitory door, pushed it open, and turned on the light.
Xiang Zhilan pulled her luggage inside. The place was really very simple, a small bungalow, with a table and chair, a cabinet and a bed in twenty square meters.
Fortunately, the room had a bathroom, and she was very satisfied with the environment.
It's a quiet place, but not too far from the city center, so it will be convenient to drive back for prenatal checkups.
"That's perfect, thank you, Dean." Zhi Lan put down her suitcase and turned to thank the Dean.
"I should be thanking you. You've been volunteering for so many years and are still willing to work here. There aren't many kind girls like you anymore." The director was a kind-faced, gentle-spoken woman in her fifties.
Xiang Zhilan smiled faintly, "Then let me tidy up and go out to spend some time with the children later."
"Then you can pack up." The dean walked out of the dormitory and closed the door for Zhi Lan.
Zhi Lan sat on the hard bed, rested for a while, then squatted down to open her suitcase and put her things into the closet one by one.

After returning home, Ni Sitian happily prepared a table full of dishes.
Seeing that she had shaken off yesterday's gloom, Xu Tingchuan smiled and asked, "Did something good happen?"
“Yes…” Ni Sitian hadn’t finished speaking when she remembered Zhi Lan’s instructions and came back to the point: “Yes, good news has happened. Qi Bao said that the publishing house has decided to reprint my book. This time, they’ll print this number.”
Ni Sitian stretched out her hand and gestured, saying with a hint of pride.
Xu Tingchuan was charmed by her smile, reached out and pinched her cheek, praising, "My wife is amazing."
“That’s right.” Ni Sitian smiled, her eyes narrowed.
"In that case, you should be able to get a lot of royalties. Have you prepared a gift for me?" Xu Tingchuan smiled faintly. His birthday is the day after tomorrow.
“Who asks for a gift?” Ni Sitian said with a smile, though she had already prepared the gift.
"I'm really looking forward to it." Xu Tingchuan smiled.
"You're putting a lot of pressure on me. What if you don't like the gift I prepared?" Ni Sitian was a little unsure.
"Then tie yourself in a bow and give yourself to me." Xu Tingchuan stuffed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Ni Sitian's hand.
The sweet and sour taste spread across her tongue, and Ni Sitian beamed with joy.
