Chapter 251: She looks ferocious
The aunt took a look at her and felt that this girl looked familiar.
She nodded, "Of course I have seen Yuan Xiao. She is a woman who can even send her own father to jail. She is so vicious! She looks ferocious and evil, so scary!"
Yuan Xiao touched her face. It turned out that she was ferocious and evil!
The mayor pointed at Yuan Xiao and said, "Do you know who she is?"
The aunt looked at her carefully and said, "I know her! Aren't you the one who brought Zhong Li to our place last time? Girl, you still remember me, right? I am Zhong Li's aunt! By the way, girl, Zhong Li is a member of our Zhong family. You have to return him to us. We have so many people in our family to feed, and he can have a job when he comes back!"
Yuan Xiao was shocked by her shamelessness and asked, "Don't you know who I am?"
The aunt rolled her eyes at her and said, "Didn't I say I know you!"
Yuan Xiao asked again, "What's my name?"
"You never told me your name, how should I know!" the aunt said impatiently.
The mayor sneered, "You lie without thinking! Then let me introduce you to Yuan Xiao, the ferocious and terrifying person you mentioned! The grain output of our Qushui County this year is more than double that of last year. Thanks to Yuan Xiao who provided us with newly cultivated grain seeds, we can eat enough in the future! You slander people without hesitation, don't you feel guilty!"
The aunt was shocked by the mayor. Her legs went limp and she sat paralyzed on the ground. "Grandpa... I, I didn't say that on purpose. Someone gave me money to say that!"
County Mayor Zhang covered his face. It was useless! Everything was over!
"Xiao Liu, take her to the Public Security Bureau."
Xiao Liu agreed and dragged the crying aunt away.
The mayor looked at Yuan Xiao solemnly, "Comrade Yuan Xiao, I have to thank you! When the seeds are promoted throughout the country, when no one is hungry anymore, you will be our hero!"
Yuan Xiao's face was flushed, and he twisted his fingers, a little embarrassed, "I didn't do anything. The high yield of grain is due to the hard work of our people!"
The people around heard what the mayor said and sighed.
"It turns out that the seeds were provided by her, this is amazing!"
"That woman also said that Yuan Xiao looks fierce and evil, what a pretty girl!"
"Not only pretty, but also kind!"
"Not only kind, but also smart! She is the top scorer in the college entrance examination in our Qushui County!"
Yuan Xiao was blushing and ran away because of their praise.
Until returning to the guesthouse, her face was still flushed.
As soon as Gu Lanting entered the room, he saw her grinning alone.
"What are you thinking about?" He pinched her little face.
Yuan Xiao supported her chin with both hands and pouted: "Nothing, I just think it's too good. Our future will get better and better, right?"
Gu Lanting hummed and hugged her from behind, "You are the best."
Yuan Xiao heard him praising her and felt a little embarrassed, "Don't praise me, you know it's not my credit."
Gu Lanting didn't think so, "How can it not be your credit? Xiaoxiao, this is of course your credit!"
He picked up the girl in his arms and let her face him.
"Xiaoxiao, not everyone has this kind of adventure. There must be a reason why you were chosen. From another perspective, if someone else has this thing, can they do better than you?"
Yuan Xiao thought about it. She was actually very guilty. After all, she just wanted to buy a house and collect rent.
Gu Lanting continued, "You have done very well. Believe in yourself."
Yuan Xiao buried her face in his arms, "I will do better in the future."
The two hugged each other and stayed quietly, as if time had stopped.
Not long after, Yuan Xiao heard the ringing of a bell.
There is a primary school nearby, and the bell can be heard every day.
"Let's go to the welfare home to have a look."
The last time Zhao Fubing wrote to her, he asked some questions about the welfare home. She happened to go to have a look today.
Although the welfare home is in Qushui County, it is the only welfare home in the whole Langshi City. Many kindhearted people will send their children here when they see homeless children on the street.
The director chosen by Zhao Fubing is a middle-aged woman named Xia Xuelian. She used to be a primary school teacher. She has a very gentle face and makes people feel friendly.
"Director, Brother Bingzi told me last time that some children have reached school age. I later asked Brother Bingzi to arrange school for them."
Xia Xuelian nodded, "Yes, but there are many children, and the cost of schooling is not small..."
Yuan Xiao was stunned. Is he crying poor to her?
But she really didn't care enough. She didn't even know how much money Zhao Fubing had transferred to the welfare home.
"If the funds are insufficient, you can ask Brother Bingzi for help."
Xia Xuelian nodded quickly, and she took the initiative to show Yuan Xiao the account book.
The account book was very detailed, even the meals in the cafeteria and the snacks that the children usually ate were recorded.
The students were a little surprised that there was meat in the cafeteria every meal, and the food was much better than that of ordinary families.
But on second thought, the children are growing up and they do need nutrition.
In addition, every child needs clothes and shoes, school supplies, and daily necessities. Adding them together, it is also a considerable expense.
It can be seen that the dean is really attentive and gives them the best. No wonder there is not enough money.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't have enough money, just tell Brother Bingzi. I'll tell him. But we can't let the children down. I also heard that some children have been adopted."
Xia Xuelian took out another folder, "These are all. There are detailed information on them."
There are not many adopted children these days, and Yuan Xiao also attaches great importance to these families.
She read every page carefully and found that only three boys were adopted, and the rest were girls.
And the girls were all between 10 and 12 years old.
She couldn't help but feel a little confused. Nowadays, people value boys more than girls, so the abandoned girls in the welfare home are basically healthy, but many boys have physical defects.
She pointed to one of them and said, "Isn't this too far? It's across the city. It won't be easy to visit in the future. This is even more exaggerated. It's in Guizhou Province. Are you sure you can visit?"
If you don't visit, you won't know how the child is doing.
Xia Xuelian looked panicked for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, of course, why can't we? For the sake of the children, we will go to see them no matter how far away they are!"
Yuan Xiao didn't say anything else, but he was still a little worried.
"In the future, we should be more strict in reviewing. It is best not to place the child too far away. In case the child's family comes to find us, we can contact them. Also, these addresses must be filled in in detail. It is best to give the children the address and contact information of our welfare home. Don't let them think that we will no longer care about them after they leave the welfare home."
