lone star legend

Chapter 278 Orphanage
In the early morning, when I walked down the stairs, the hall was already full of people, besides Fat Boy's four bad friends, Mu Keren and Lin Mengxing were also among them, and even Qingxuan who left angrily that day was also there. , but at this moment Qingxuan still had a cold face, and after seeing me appearing, she deliberately turned her head to talk to Mengxing beside her, it seems that what I said that day hurt her deeply.

"Morning, Boss!" Zhao Gang and the others looked very excited today. I really don't understand why they are so excited just to go to the orphanage I stayed in when I was young.

"Morning everyone!" I greeted one by one politely, but when I greeted Qingxuan, the other party ignored me, and lightly raised the invitation letter in his hand and said, "Because I donated too much." It’s less money, so the dean specially wrote me an invitation letter.” Speaking of this, the girl looked very proud.

Halo, women are really animals that cannot be offended. Although everything I do is for her benefit, it is a pity that most women are more emotional than rational.No matter how smart she is, sometimes she can get into a dead end.

Not wanting to be boring, I turned to Mu Keren and said, "Aren, are you ready? Can we go?"

"Well, everything is ready, just waiting for you." After speaking, he handed a letter to me and said, "The dean has received the money you donated. This is the thank you letter he asked me to bring to you. With this is the Medal of Honor, you will be treated as a guest of honor in the orphanage."

When I received the VIP medal, I felt a burst of emotion. I never imagined that I, who was in the orphanage, would one day wear this VIP medal, which has the highest honor in the orphanage. Thinking about the future and the past, it was like a dream.

After carefully putting away the badge, I said lightly, "Let's go." After I finished speaking, I turned and walked towards the door.

We had no words all the way, relying on the advanced means of transportation, we arrived at the orphanage as scheduled before the celebration, looking at the place as in the memory of the past, although I am not a person who is full of joy and anger, but at this moment I still seem very excited , more than ten years ago, I just walked out from here. I never thought that I could walk back again in my lifetime, and it can be regarded as returning home.

"Boss, is this the place you stayed in when you were a child? The environment is very good. Although the place is a bit remote, it is quieter and the surrounding scenery is also very good." Fat Boy praised the environment around him, as if Like the young master who has been living in the city, he has an inexplicable longing for such a poor life.

"Okay, everyone, stop sighing, Xinghun, it's getting late, let's go see the dean first, he specifically told me to take you to see him as soon as you arrive." Ah Ren said.

Nodding slightly, just like that, under the leadership of Ah Ren, our group walked into the orphanage and the home I had left for more than ten years.

The orphanage was very lively. The orphans all dressed up in clothes they would only wear during festivals and happily decorated their world. In addition to them, there were many well-wishers who also joined in, and everyone worked together for the cause. Today's celebration is busy.

"Please feel free, everyone. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask any child in the orphanage at any time, and they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Let's walk around casually, everyone." In front of an antique three-story building, Mu Keren stopped and said to the crowd.

Everything in the orphanage is very unfamiliar to everyone, and everyone wanted to go around for a long time. Seeing what Ah Ren said, how could you be polite, especially the four fat boys, who even said goodbye to me. They slipped into the crowd. It was probably the first time they had seen so many cute children at such a big age. The new feeling made them so happy that they even forgot where Bei was.

"Sister Qingxuan, let's go for a walk too. Listen to me, there are many interesting things here, I guarantee you have never played them before." Meng Xing was not far behind, pulling Qingxuan and disappearing into the crowd middle.

"Xinghun, let's go, the principal is waiting for us." Ah Ren said.

"Yeah!" Nodding, following Aren, I stepped into this building with absolute authority in the orphanage.

Stepping on the old but still strong wooden ladder, we quickly went up to the third floor, and came to a room with a simple but very clean door. Just when Ah Ren was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened, and a petite But the girl with a pretty face came out, but her complexion didn't look very good.

"Axiu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing this, Ah Ren asked with concern.

Unexpectedly, there was someone outside the door, the girl named Axiu was shocked, but when she saw the person clearly, she said happily, "Ah Ren is you, when did you come back? Oh, I'm fine, maybe I didn't rest last night Okay, doubt? Who is the guest behind you? Hello, welcome to visit the orphanage, I am Shui Yunxiu, the deacon of the orphanage."

"Shui Yunxiu?" As I muttered to myself, the figure of a little girl quickly appeared in my mind. At that time, she was a famous figure in our orphanage. In the orphanage with insufficient staff, she, Shui Yunxiu, was also a young teacher. Unexpectedly, when she grew up, she chose to stay in the orphanage and continue to sit with her teacher.

"Axiu, he's cold, what's the matter, haven't seen him for so many years, don't you remember him at all?" Ah Ren said with a smile.

"Cold weather? Is he a big ice cube?" Shui Yunxiu was obviously stunned. The silent boy who left without saying goodbye would appear before her eyes again, and he was still smiling at her at this moment. I really didn't expect that People who have always been taciturn can actually laugh, and the smile is pretty good.

Big ice cubes?What a familiar and unfamiliar nickname. I know that because I was very silent at the beginning and didn’t socialize with others, the other children secretly nicknamed me Big Ice. Unexpectedly, today Shui Yunxiu unexpectedly And I slipped my tongue, but it sounds very kind at the moment. The nickname of this big ice cube represents everything I was before I was eight years old.

"Hello, little teacher, I never thought you would stay in the orphanage as a teacher." I smiled.

"It's been so many years, and you still call me little teacher, but it's really interesting to think about the days back then, oh, yes, the dean is waiting for you, so I won't bother you, we will talk again when we have a chance. In a flash, the girl gave us the passage of the gate and said softly.

"Well, okay, then I will meet you later." Talking about playing, Aren led me into the room.

Passing through a small living room, we entered the dean's office.Compared with my memory, the dean is obviously much older. The gray hair and wrinkles on his face indicate that the old dean has not been comfortable in these years, but he is still in good spirits. When we come in, his face changes. He showed a smile of great relief.

"Aren, is he cold?"

"Yes, Dean, he is Leng Tian back then, but now he is called Leng Xinghun. In East Emperor, he takes good care of me." Ren said respectfully.As an orphan, the orphanage is his home, and the dean is his father.So in front of the dean, Ah Ren was extremely respectful.

"Okay, Ah Tian, ​​I never thought I would see you again in my lifetime, and it seems that you are doing well, this is better than anything else, this big rock in my heart can finally fall after all these years." Speaking of this , the dean obviously breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that his child is promising, this is the pride of every father.

"Dean, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left without saying a word, please forgive my recklessness." I said sincerely, thinking about my behavior back then, I did have something wrong.

"Well, forget about the past, just come back, just come back. Come, this is what should belong to you. Now I will give it back to you. This is the only thing you brought with you when you came to the orphanage. , it was supposed to be given to you at your coming-of-age ceremony when you were 16 years old, but it has been unable to be returned because of your disappearance, but today I finally got it." As he spoke, the old dean handed me a piece of ancient jade.

Looking at this simple piece of jade, my heart was inexplicably excited, and even the hands connecting the jade trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, Shui Yunxiu walked in again, bowed to everyone present and said, "Dean, the celebration is about to start, you should go down to preside over it."

"Well, is it about to start? Well, it's time to go down." As he spoke, an inexplicable sadness flashed across the dean's face. Although the sadness was fleeting, it still couldn't escape my keen eyes , but I am very clear about the character of people like the dean. He likes to hide many things in his heart and let himself bear them silently, but in front of others, he always seems to be all right and everything is as usual.

In this way, the four of us walked down the stairs, walked out of the small building, and walked towards the celebration stage.Along the way, countless children and people who came to watch the ceremony paid tribute to the principal. The atmosphere of the celebration was pushed to a climax at this moment. The people scattered around gradually crowded towards the only small square in the orphanage, cheering, One after another in the crowd.But the old dean, who had a worried face just now, seemed to be a different person at this moment, his face was slightly flushed because of excitement, and he kept waving his hands to the surrounding saluting crowd in thanks.The old dean, who has dedicated his life to charity, is probably the most satisfied and proud moment for him.

Amid the sound of drum music, the old dean stepped onto the rostrum, and Qingxuan and I and others received VIP treatment after donating a lot of money, and were also honored to sit on the VIP seat on the rostrum. Such an honor Let us be both embarrassed and excited, everyone's face is red.

After a burst of salute, the celebration is finally about to begin.
