"It's so pitiful, these children are so obedient."
"Yes, the children are all very obedient, and they all know that studying is their only way out." As he said this, a proud expression appeared on Dean Chen's face.
"Dean Chen, we've been shopping for a while now. What would you like to eat? Let the staff at the store make it for you."
"I'm fine with either."
"Then I'll order some for you."
"Okay, Mengmeng, don't order too much, it'll be a waste."
"You and Xingxing sit here, I'll go order for you, let me arrange it."
"Dean Chen, I was serious that day. You and Aunt Wu have worked so hard for so long. What I meant was to recruit a few more people for you. You are getting old, and I don't want you to work so hard."
"Xinghe, since you've brought this up, let me ask you this: if I were to leave, could I entrust the orphanage to you? I don't trust anyone else with my care. I watched you grow up, and I trust your character."
"Dean Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? You're still young and haven't enjoyed your retirement yet. From now on, I'll be your grandson and I'll take care of you."
"Yes, yes, our little Xinghe has grown up. This orphanage was founded by your grandfather and me. We can't let it die out."
Because of caring for the children at the orphanage, Director Chen, despite being married, never had children of her own. She treated the children at the orphanage as her own, and every child was like a little girl to her.
"How could that be, Director Chen? I promise you, the Blue Sky Welfare Home will not be disbanded because of this. I will continue to expand it."
"Yes, thank you, child."
"Dean Chen, what are you talking about? Why does Dean Chen seem so agitated? Xingxing, please don't upset Dean Chen."
"No, Mengmeng, it's not Xinghe's fault, I was just too excited."
"Okay, let's ignore him and eat. I got you some hot corn juice, you can drink it first. There will be curry rice later."
"good."
"Brother Xinghe, try these fries, they're so delicious!"
A little girl ran over and held a French fry with ketchup to Wang Xinghe's mouth.
"Thank you, Xin Xin."
"Xin Xin, you little ingrate, where's Meng Meng's?"
"Sister Mengmeng, I was thinking of giving one to Brother Xinghe first, and then I'll go back and get one for Sister Mengmeng."
"Okay, Xin Xin, Sister Meng Meng was just joking. Don't be upset. Here, let me give you a little toy, okay?"
"Thank you, Sister Mengmeng, I'll go get you some fries right away!" Xin Xin's originally aggrieved little face immediately turned into a sweet smile because of Liu Qingmeng's little toy.
"Little Fatty, eat slowly." Wang Xinghe brought a can of cola to Little Fatty, who was working alone at the table by the window.
"It's so delicious! This KFC is definitely not comparable to those no-name fried chicken shops."
"Little Fatty, do you want to be able to eat KFC every day from now on?"
"Xingxing, did your sister-in-law buy this KFC restaurant?!"
"What are you thinking about? Come to Kyoto with me. I'm serious. Take Auntie with you."
"Xingxing, don't try to persuade me. If I should go, I will go." Little Fatty said with a simple and honest expression.
"Okay, eat slowly, don't choke, or the kids will laugh at you. I'm going to check on the kids."
"Okay, Xingxing, don't worry, I won't choke. There's cola here."
When Wang Xinghe arrived, the children scrambled to vie for him.
"Brother Xinghe, sit here with us, our egg tarts are delicious!"
"Brother Xinghe, come eat a hamburger with us!"
"What's so great about hamburgers? Come eat our fried chicken instead."
"Alright, alright, I'll try them one by one, okay? You all sit down first."
"Brother Xinghe, let's sit down first, come over here!"
"Brother Xinghe, we're all seated now. After you've finished eating, you should give your opinion on whose food was better!"
"Okay, I'll get started then."
The meal lasted for more than an hour. It was lunchtime, and there was only one fast food restaurant outside the amusement park, but Liu Qingmeng had it all to herself until the end.
There's no way around it, money talks.
"Miss Liu, this is your black card. Please keep it safe."
"The money has been deducted."
"Yes, Miss Liu, I've deducted the cost of the private room and the food."
"Take out your phone and open the payment code."
"Miss Liu, what's wrong?"
"This three thousand yuan is a tip for you. You've worked hard. Take it and share it with the staff."
"Thank you, Miss Liu."
In the evening, we finally returned to the orphanage. The children had played all afternoon and were exhausted, so they washed up and went to bed.
"Dean Chen, Mengmeng and I will be leaving now."
"You don't live in the welfare home."
"No, we have nowhere to stay. Mengmeng and I will just move out."
"Alright, alright! Xinghe, come with me."
"What's wrong, Dean Chen? Is there something you need?"
"When are you and Mengmeng going to give me a big, healthy grandson?"
"Dean Chen, we are both still students."
"It's perfectly normal for college students to have children these days, and they're not even getting extra credits for it."
"Dean Chen, where did you hear that?"
"Hurry up and give me a big, fat grandson, you hear?"
"Dean Chen, let's talk about it later. We'll be going now!"
Wang Xinghe grabbed Liu Qingmeng's hand and ran away.
"Oh, silly child, I may not live to see the day you have a child, cough cough cough!" Director Chen coughed violently, quickly took out a handkerchief to cover his mouth. The handkerchief was covered in blood. Director Chen wiped his mouth, then pretended that nothing was wrong and returned to the orphanage.
"Xingxing, what did Dean Chen say to you? Why did he grab me and run away?"
What do you think?
"Oh dear, I don't know, Xingxing, please tell me."
"Dean Chen said she wants to have a grandson, and she told us to work hard."
"No way! If you don't want to talk about it, just don't! Stop lying!" Liu Qingmeng shook off Wang Xinghe's hand.
"Really, why would I lie to you?"
"Fine, then it's just that someone is unwilling. Even if I have the will, one person's efforts alone won't be enough."
"Mengmeng, what did you say you wanted to tell me today?"
When serious matters were brought up, Liu Qingmeng also became serious.
"Let's go for a walk in the park next door."
"Let's go."
Upon arriving at the park, a gust of wind blew by, causing Liu Qingmeng to shiver. Seeing this, Wang Xinghe took off his coat and draped it over Liu Qingmeng's shoulders.
"It gets a bit chilly in Ningjiang at night, so wearing this will help."
Aren't you cold?
"I'm not cold. I'm a boy, you can wear it."
"I had someone look into the demolition of the welfare home."
"I learned that from Little Fatty today as well."
