In the early morning, walking on the ginkgo leaves all over the ground, two people and one dog ran under the rising sun.
"Here." Looking at the crystal beads of sweat on Shenxi's rosy skin, Su Hang handed over a sweat towel.
"Thank you." Shen Xi took it and wiped it rudely, and then handed it back to the man.
Su Hang tied the sweat towel back on his hand, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Since Shen Xi followed him for a morning run, men have a habit of carrying a sweat towel with him.
"What are you laughing at?" Shen Xi asked suspiciously.
"Ah?" Su Hang froze for a moment, "What?"
"I asked what are you laughing at?" Shen Xi repeated again.
"Me?" Su Hang seemed a little disbelieving, "I laughed just now?"
"Stupid!" Shen Xi thought that the man's dull appearance was a bit funny, he glanced at the man in disgust, turned around and ran back.
"Wang Wang!" On the fifth day of the fifth day, when he saw his mother running home, thinking of the delicious meat and bones at home, he followed behind excitedly, and shouted while running.
Seeing such a scene, the corners of Su Hang's mouth turned up uncontrollably once again.
What is happiness, when a smile always climbs the corner of your mouth inadvertently, this is about the moment of happiness.
After breakfast, Shen Xi and Su Hang went out together.
Su Hang went to work as usual, while Shen Xi went to the orphanage to deliver supplies.
Shenxi's usual make-up is very simple, and the color of the clothes is not bright. Today, I don't know if it's because of going to the orphanage. Instead of wearing the coat that I usually wear on weekdays, Shen Xi is wearing a black down jacket. I don't have any of those brand-name bags, but I don't know where to find them. Bring a gray backpack, which contains a bunch of snacks that I bought at the supermarket with Mrs. Zhang yesterday.
"Going to the orphanage today?" Su Hang asked knowingly.
"Yeah." Shen Xi replied while opening the car door and throwing the backpack in.
"Have fun." Su Hang said.
"Yes!" Thinking of the childlike invitation, Shen Xi couldn't help but smile.
Su Hang nodded, bent down and got into the car. He looked at Shen Xi in the rearview mirror and thought: Let you go first this time, and I will take you with you next time.
Seeing that Su Hang's car was leaving, Shenxi planned to leave. She said goodbye to Mrs. Zhang, and rubbed the fifth day of the new year before she drove away from the villa. Shen Xi planned to drive the car to the foundation first, and then go to the orphanage from the foundation with the volunteers and supplies. Otherwise, millions of luxury cars will drive to the orphanage, and it will make headlines tomorrow.
"Here?" Li Ye saw Shen Xi walking over with a backpack, and greeted him with a smile.
"Aren't you late?" The road was blocked for a while just now, and Shen Xi was afraid that he would delay the departure time.
"No, the supplies have just been installed." Because the Qing'an orphanage was not very large, there were not many supplies sent to it. The foundation only found a gold cup and a van and finished the installation. volunteers in the van in front."
"Okay." Shen Xi confirmed the location of the van, nodded, raised his hand and carried the backpack in his hand. Because his right hand was raised, his fingers touched the sunlight behind him, and the diamond ring in his hand flashed in the sunlight. There was a dazzling light.
Li Ye was stunned by the light, and when he saw the diamond ring, he suddenly remembered something, he remembered that Shenxi's husband Su Hang seemed to have been in the orphanage, so he asked curiously: "Mr. Su Did you also grow up in an orphanage as a child?"
"Yes!" Shenxi didn't know why Li Ye suddenly asked this question, but still nodded and replied.
"Is it an orphanage in this city? I don't know if the foundation has funded it before." Li Ye said with a smile, "If it did, it would be considered a kind of fate."
"I... I didn't ask." Shen Xi always felt that this might be a bad experience for Su Hang, and the two were already married. If she deliberately mentioned this matter, she was afraid that Su Hang would have more think.
"Let's go!" The driver's urging voice suddenly sounded.
"I'm leaving." Shen Xi waved at Li Ye, turned and ran in the direction of the van. The car quickly drove out of the gate and drove all the way to the direction of the old city.
About an hour later, the car stopped at the gate of Qing'an Orphanage. The gate of the rusty compound was already full of smiling children. They applauded vigorously. Although their clothes were not new, they were clean.
The car drove directly into the yard, and the director of the orphanage immediately brought someone up to greet them. After a warm chat between the two sides, the volunteers began to help the children carry the supplies down.
Shen Xi helped distribute winter clothes to the children, and every child who received the clothes would sweetly say "Thank you, sister", which made Shen Xi happy and couldn't help but smile.
When everything was almost done, the dean brought the staff and older children to bring some tea to the volunteers of the foundation.
"You are Shenxi, I'm the dean here, and my surname is Yao." Dean Yao smiled and handed Shenxi a cup of tea.
"Thank you, Dean Yao." Shen Xi borrowed both hands.
"I've been busy all morning, and I haven't had time to entertain you properly." Dean Yao said somewhat ashamed.
"We are here to help, where do you need any hospitality." Shen Xi said politely.
"It's great!" The more Dean Yao looked at Shen Xi, the more satisfied he became, "She's such a good girl, she's nice and beautiful."
"Ah... You've won the prize." Shen Xi always felt that the way Dean Yao looked at her was a little weird, and it seemed a little too kind. She felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only laugh awkwardly.
"Actually, we've met before." Dean Yao said suddenly.
"Really? I'm sorry, I don't remember." Shen Xi recalled it, but he really couldn't remember.
"I don't blame you, I blame that kid Su Hang for not giving us a good introduction." Dean Yao complained.
Suzhou and Hangzhou? Shen Xi's expression was stunned for a moment, she looked at Dean Yao's expression changed, could it be...
"When you and Su Hang got married, I went to have a wedding wine. I don't know what kind of shit that Su Hang has had, so he can marry you home." Dean Yao really felt that the more he thought about it, the more bad luck was not enough. And describe the luck of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
"That kid Su Hang said he would bring you back to see me, but I waited and waited and I didn't see him bring you back. He kept saying that he was busy, so I must talk about him when he comes next time." Yao Yuan Chang seems to be quite dissatisfied with Suzhou and Hangzhou, and he keeps ranting.
"Suhang has been really busy recently." Shenxi couldn't help explaining.
"I'll just say a few words, it hurts?" Dean Yao smiled ambiguous.
"No... no." Shen Xi suddenly felt embarrassed and at a loss.
"Mother Dean, Aunt Liu said it's time for dinner." A seven- or eight-year-old boy ran over to interrupt the conversation between the two.
"Okay, Xiaotao, you can go and call other brothers and sisters to dinner." Dean Yao patted the little boy's head kindly. The little boy seemed very happy, nodded ruthlessly and ran to call the other volunteers. The person went to eat.
"Let's go to dinner first. After dinner, the children have to put on a show for you. They rehearsed for a long time knowing that you are coming." After that, Dean Yao took Shenxi to dinner.
The restaurant of the orphanage is very simple. There are only a few simple dining tables in the empty room. The orphanage has prepared special dining tables for volunteers, but obviously they prefer children. They all run to sit with the children with their plates. .
Shen Xi has been sitting next to Dean Yao, listening to her talk about the orphanage and the past of Suzhou and Hangzhou.
"Actually, I want to see you, not only because of Suhang, but also because I always want to thank you in person." Dean Yao said, "You may not know that our orphanage is thanks to your Shen Foundation. open now."
"What happened?" Shen Xi asked.
"Because there are not many orphans in our orphanage, the government doesn't pay much attention to it, and the subsidies are sometimes and sometimes, and the money is never enough to spend. Although the food is not good, I take them out to pick up some junk for sale, or go to people With donations from good-hearted people, I can barely fill my stomach." Dean Yao sighed, "But I can't stand getting sick."
"Who's sick?" Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat.
"About ten years ago, I didn't know where the flu came from that winter. The environment of the orphanage was not good, and everyone lived in the same room. As long as one person got the flu, it would spread to one another. Many children have a high fever, and I can't take care of them at all." Dean Yao is shocked when he thinks of the scene at that time, "Several children are confused with fever. , but the orphanage has no money."
"Is Su Hang also sick?" Shen Xi asked worriedly.
"Su Hang is in good health. After coughing for a few days, he took it over by himself." Dean Yao said, "It's a pity that he was only ten years old at the time, and he had to take care of seven or eight sick brothers and sisters at home alone. At that time, the orphanage was not only I am just a cooking eldest sister. Both of us are adults taking care of the seriously ill children in the hospital. Su Hang is alone in the orphanage to take care of the remaining children, and we have to find food for them. There's nothing left, and the elder sister who cooks and I can't care about this."
"I found out later that every night when his younger siblings fell asleep, he locked the door, rode his bicycle alone, went to the bakery outside, asked for the leftover bread to be sold, and then brought it back to the children. Let's eat." Dean Yao said, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Suhang has been strong since he was a child. He is different from other children. Other children will sell cute things to eat, but he will not. What does he want? When he was seven years old, he knew how to rummage through mineral water bottles in the trash can outside and sell them. I still remember he told me before that it was beggars who asked for things. , he doesn't want to be a beggar."
"Then... Later." Shen Xi felt a pain in his heart.
"The government's subsidy has not come down, and the hospital is pressing for money. There is really no other way. I thought at least sending the remaining children to other orphanages. But other orphanages are also difficult, no one I am willing to accept these children." Director Yao said, "Just when I was about to despair, I saw the public service advertisement of the Shen Foundation in the hospital."
"I also had the idea of using a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I called you, but I didn't expect you to send someone over the next day." Dean Yao said excitedly, "I still remember that there was a surname at that time. Wang's manager went to the hospital to help us pay all the medical expenses, and two volunteers helped take care of the children in the hospital, and sent a lot of food and clothing. Since then, you will send a batch of supplies every year. , don't you know, if it wasn't for you at the time, my orphanage would have been broken up long ago, and those children might also..."
"So, Shenxi, I really want to thank you for the children." Dean Yao said excitedly.
"Master, don't say that."
"No, yes, yes, you don't know..." Dean Yao said, the more excited he became.
"President, you are looking at Su Hang, and you are my elder. If you thank me so much, I will be very stressed." Shen Xi stopped.
"Suhang is Suhang, you are you, if it weren't for you..."
"President, Su Hang and I are now a family. If you thank you again, it's time for him to tell me about me." Shenxi used Su Hang as a shield to try to stop the dean's fierce thanksgiving attack.
"He dares, if he dares to tell you, see if I don't ask him to settle the account!" Dean Yao slapped the table angrily.
"So don't thank me anymore." Shen Xi changed the subject, "Or, tell me about the past of Suzhou and Hangzhou."
"Okay, why don't I take you to see the room where Su Hang used to live?" Dean Yao suggested.
Shen Xi naturally had no objection, and the two left the restaurant and walked outside.
Dean Yao took Shenxi to visit the orphanage's room, pointed to the upper bunk of a wooden bunk and said, "Suhang slept in this position before he was twelve years old, and rusted iron was placed here before. The bed, the wooden headboard was replaced by your foundation the year before last."
"Do you live here later?" Shen Xi looked at Nuoda's room, there were seven or eight bunks, and a dozen people lived in a room less than 30 square meters.
"Later Suhang grew up a bit, so he moved to the warehouse and put a small bed there." Dean Yao said.
"Can I go take a look?" Shenxi asked.
"Okay, I still keep you in that bed. Sometimes when Su Hang comes back, he still lives there." Dean Yao said.
"Will he come back to live?" Shen Xi asked in surprise.
"Yes, I came back a lot in the past few years, but less in the past two years. The last time I came back was not long before you got married, and you came to invite me to a wedding wine." The two of them walked to the door of the warehouse.
Dean Yao took out the key and opened the door of the warehouse. Shenxi looked inside and found that the warehouse was not big, about ten square meters. There was a small window on the wall, and there were many cardboard boxes around. Under the wall by the window, there is a half-old single bed.
"Su Hang sleeps here." Dean Yao pointed to the bed and said.
Because it has been uninhabited for a long time, there is a light layer of dust on the bed, and at the head of the bed is a simple wooden table with a few books and a pen holder stacked on it. Shen Xi asked curiously, "Is this also something from Suzhou and Hangzhou?"
"Yes, it's all the books he read before." Dean Yao said, he took out a black-covered diary from the middle of the books and handed it to Shen Xi, "This is Su Hang's diary."
"Diary?" Shen Xi looked at the diary in his hand, thought about it and asked, "How could something as private as a diary be kept here."
"It's a diary, but in fact nothing is written in it." Dean Yao said with a smile, "Suhang has been bored since he was a child, and he keeps everything in his heart. I was afraid that he would be bored, so I gave him this diary. Originally, I hoped that he would write out what was on his mind to vent. Who knew he would not write anything, just write some dates on it. But I think these dates are probably meaningful to him."
"Knock knock!"
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the dean's words.
"President, the children are about to start performing." The volunteer from the orphanage reminded him.
"Oh, okay, I'll be right here." After Dean Yao finished speaking, he turned to look at Shen Xi again, "I'm going to be busy."
"Dean, go get busy, I'll stay here for a while." Shen Xi said thoughtfully.
"Then, you will come to the lobby to find us in a while." Dean Yao didn't insist, he smiled at Shenxi and turned to go.
After everyone left, Shen Xi held the diary in his hand, and An Nai couldn't help being curious, and raised his hand to open the cover of the diary.
It was sunny on June 8, 1995, and a smiling face was painted on the back.
Shen Xi didn't know what happened that year, but looking at the smiling face behind him, Shen Xi could probably guess that something happy happened that day.
December 11, 1995 Behind the snow is a frowning look.
Shen Xi thought about why Su Hang was worried about that day.
On August 20, 1997, the picture behind Qing Qing was not a smiling face, but a little girl with two braids, crying loudly.
On August 21, 1997, Qing was still the same little girl, but this time the little girl was smiling.
It's been recorded for two days, it won't be Su Hang's first love, Shen Xi thought secretly.
Shen Xi turned back page by page, and as time passed, the tender notes began to mature until the latest page.
On September 28, 2017, Qing Qing drew a smiling face and a sad expression at the same time.
Is this joy or worry? On this day, Shen Xi remembered that it was the day when Su Hang went to the Shen family to propose marriage, and it was also the day when he promised to marry Su Hang.
Continue to flip back.
On November 1, 2017 Qing was followed by a girl's sad face and a smiling face.
November 1st, the day they received the certificate, is this sad girl herself? The smiling face represents Suzhou and Hangzhou
After looking at it for a while, Shen Xi suddenly poked the smiling face on the diary with his finger, and said half complaining: "So you were very happy that day, and you knew that I was in a bad mood. Knowing that I was not happy, you still smiled. I am so happy, I remember it, and I will find you to settle the account."
Shen Xi couldn't help laughing when he said that, he flipped through it and turned to the last page.
November 5, 2017 forecast for heavy rain
Weather forecast? So this page is written in advance, and there is no expression on the back. Is it because you don't know what your mood will be on that day
November 5th, our wedding day. Shen Xi looked at the second half of the lack of expression, and couldn't help turning to the front page of the diary, looking at the girl with a bitter face next to the smiling face, Shen Xi thought about it and took out a ballpoint pen from the pen holder, lying at the desk, The blanks in the second half were filled in the diary.
After Shen Xi finished painting, he glanced at it with satisfaction, then closed the diary and put it back in its original place. What was painted in it could be seen when his master came back and opened it again.
Peeping into the little secret in Su Hang's heart, Shen Xi left the room with a smile, following the children's singing, Shen Xi went to the lobby of the orphanage.
The children inside were performing dances and songs for the volunteer gates under the stage. The performances were rough, but everyone had a great time watching.
The atmosphere was very warm, and the volunteers all came to the stage to perform shows and play with the children, and Shenxi was finally pulled up by the children.
Because there was no preparation in a hurry, Shenxi had to use an old piano in the orphanage to accompany the children to sing "Pleasant Goat" with the children.
Dean Yao took the opportunity to secretly record a video with his mobile phone and send it to someone.
And after watching this video five or six times with an idiotic expression, someone called Fang Yu in with a black face.
"Has the schedule been adjusted? When will the time I want be available?" Su Hang asked.
"Boss, I've been studying for two days, and in the end I can only squeeze one day out for you, which is next Friday." Fang Yu said cautiously.
"I want three days." Su Hang said dissatisfiedly.
"There are three consecutive weekends." Fang Yu weakly stretched out three fingers.
"Fang Yu!" Su Hang narrowed his eyes angrily.
"Boss, even if you kill me, you won't be able to squeeze in time." Fang Yu said with a stubborn neck.
"Go out!" Su Hang gasped.
"Okay!" Fang Yu happily exited.
The author has something to say: On August 20, 1997, Shen Xi was lost.
On August 21, 1997, Shenxi was found.
In the autumn of the same year, the Shen Foundation was established.
In the winter of the same year, Dean Yao called the Shen Foundation for help.
"Mr. Wang, take a look, and if they are verified, they will be included in the first batch of funding list." Mrs. Shen glanced at Xiao Shenxi who was playing on the side and said, "As long as it is an orphanage in S City, we will try our best to fund it. "
"Is little brother there?" Xiao Shenxi asked.
"Maybe."
