"Miss... it's you!"
Just after passing through the concrete path, a surprised voice came from the front. Xi Xiaye looked up and found that it was Ms. Wang, the old director of the orphanage, and Teacher Li.
"It's Miss Xi!"
The old dean forced a smile on his face and greeted him.
The dean here knows that Xi Xiaye's surname is Xi, and has always been grateful for Xi Xiaye's long-term silent support. He has asked her to leave a name in the courtyard many times, but Xi Xiaye refused. .
Every time she came over, she brought her things over, stood outside the courtyard to look at the children, and then left directly.
"Happy New Year, stop by to have a look at the work."
Xi Xiaye's beautiful and elegant face brushed a wave of relief, greeted with respect, and then handed the things in her hand to Teacher Li, "This is a gift for the children. They are all fine, right?"
Teacher Li was stunned for a moment, and took a while to pick it up with a smile, with a touch of warmth in his voice, "Thank you, Miss Xi! The children are all fine, don't worry, but..."
Speaking of this, Teacher Li suddenly stopped his voice, and did not continue to speak, but hesitantly turned his head to look at the old dean, Ms. Wang, with unspeakable sorrow on his brows.
Dean Wang was also a little gloomy, his old eyes were dim, and he sighed helplessly, "Miss Xi, why don't you go and see the children, this place will be demolished in a few days..."
"To be demolished?"
After Dean Wang's words fell, Xi Xiaye frowned immediately, his eyes froze for a moment, and he couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
"This is an old residential area. The government has already requisitioned it and planned to reorganize it. I thought it would take a few years for the documents to be approved, so I have been busy with this matter recently, hoping to keep this place. I don't want to wait until I am busy. Well, the documents have been approved in advance, this place has already been bought, and we will move out next month... "
Dean Wang said in a gloomy voice, she looked up at everything she was familiar with, and there was too much reluctance in her eyes—
It's been decades!
Unexpectedly, I still couldn't keep it in the end!
"What about the kids?"
Xi Xiaye's heart sank slightly, and there was a look of worry and concern in her clear eyes that could not be concealed.
"We are all having a headache about this. If we can't keep here, we don't know what to do. We can only send the children to the orphanage temporarily, and see if there is any way later. The dean has already planned to call Everyone, let's see if some families can adopt a few children. In this way, if one can be arranged, it counts as one... "
Teacher Li said worriedly, "Oh, some of the children are still so young, Xiaohu and Xiaoqing are still in such poor health, if they are sent to the orphanage, I am really worried..."
Xi Xiaye frowned tightly, was silent for a while, and then asked, "Is there no other way? Can we keep this place?"
"The buyer has almost got the documents signed by the government. There must be no other way, and the old city here will be rebuilt sooner or later. I originally accumulated a fund to renovate and rebuild a new building to accommodate children. Ours, don't want to still..."
Dean Wang sighed secretly, and looked at Xi Xiaye, "Thank you for caring about the children these past few years, I thank you for the children, you are a good person, you will be happy. Go in and see the children, Otherwise, I'm afraid everyone will be gone in a few days..."
These words, in Xi Xiaye's ears, made her feel a dull pain in her chest. Seeing these children, she felt too much empathy, just like her who sent a book a long, long time ago, alone .
She lowered her eyes, took a deep breath secretly, and asked, "Who bought this place?"
Dean Wang shook his head, "No one revealed it. It happened so suddenly, so we don't know what's going on! Go and see the children, Miss Xi, they are all in class, and the school is giving the children homework in advance it's..."
Xi Xiaye nodded, and then followed Dean Wang to the opposite teaching building.
As soon as I approached, I heard the childish sound of children reading aloud——
'The sun is at the end of the mountain, and the Yellow River flows into the sea. If you want to see a thousand miles away, you can go to a higher level—'
Standing at the back door, Xi Xiaye looked at the children who were concentrating on reading, listening to lectures and taking notes, but felt extremely sour in their hearts!
These faces filled with innocent smiles should have lived in a happy and healthy family, but they didn't want to...
Some of them were abandoned by their parents because of physical defects, some lost their parents and relatives because of the upheaval at home, and some were lost children...
How can they bear the heart to let them live without a fixed place, and in the end they don't even have a place to rest
She, Xi Xiaye, never thought of herself as a kind and kind person. She could watch poor beggars starve to death on the street, or watch crazy gamblers being driven to a dead end.
But... some things... seem to still need to be done.
She didn't know whether she did something right or wrong, but when something touched her, she would think about what she should do.
He returned to the car gloomy, started the car and planned to go back to Fengju directly. At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the dim street lamps on the side of the road had already been turned on.
She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and called Shen Yue.
When receiving Xi Xiaye's call, Shen Yue had just got off work from the company and was on his way back to Shen's house.
"Old President, it's Miss Sun's call!"
Lan Zilang handed the mobile phone in his hand to Shen Yue who was behind him, with a smile on his face, "Ms. Sun seems to be in constant contact with her family recently. After getting married, she seems to miss you and Ms. even more than before."
There was also a gratifying smile on Shen Yue's old face, he nodded again and again, and responded, "Yes, I guess, this is all due to Ah Chen, I have to praise him some other day, haha..."
As he spoke, he took the mobile phone and pressed the answer button—
"Hello? Xia Ye girl?"
Shen Yue's kind and loving voice came over.
Xi Xiaye firmly controlled the steering wheel with one hand, slowed down the speed of the car, stared at the front with indifferent eyes, and her cold voice eased a little, "It's me... grandpa..."
"What's the matter? Why are you calling at this time suddenly? Do you want to go home? I'll ask your mother to prepare some good dishes..."
"No, grandpa... I want your help with something."
Xi Xiaye cut off Shen Yue's words.
"What's up?"
Shen Yue asked.
"There is an orphanage called Ning'an Orphanage in the old city of Shibei. A mysterious buyer bought it and plans to tear down the orphanage. I want you to help me find out who bought it... "
