Chapter 116 The Orphanage

On the outskirts of NH City, there is a red brick two-story building, which is H-shaped and surrounded by a three-meter-high wall.Weeds growing at the foot of the wall made the small building look much more desolate.Baitang judged that the small building should have been built in the 70s. People at that time were very honest, and the buildings built were very strong. Although the appearance looked very old, if there was a sudden earthquake in NH, other high-rise buildings would collapse. A small building will stand firm.

Entering the small building, Baitang saw the red iron gate embedded in the wall.The iron gate is also very old and covered with rust spots.However, the signboard on the wall on the side of the gate is shining brightly, as if it is new. It seems that someone wipes it every day to make the signboard as brand new as possible.Black characters on a white background, five fist-sized words fell into Baitang's eyes: Dehua Orphanage.

Bai Tang walked to the small door on the side of the main gate and knocked on it. With quite a strong hand, he knocked on the iron door so loudly.Bai Tang remembered Sun Senwen's words, the gatekeeper Uncle Liu was old and his ears were a little hard of hearing, he had to knock hard on the door for Uncle Liu to be able to hear.A situation like Uncle Liu's is not qualified for the job of guarding the gate, but the conditions in the orphanage are too bad, and it is impossible to pay the wages of new employees lightly.In fact, apart from Uncle Liu, the director of the orphanage and the cooking aunts are all elderly people. They have worked in the orphanage all their lives, and they are very affectionate to the orphanage and the children in the orphanage, so they will stay regardless of salary. Take care of the children in the orphanage.There were also newcomers who came to the orphanage with enthusiasm, but unfortunately, it didn't take long for these young people to leave the orphanage because they couldn't bear the hardship.

"Who is it?" After more than 2 minutes, a hoarse voice came from the door.

Bai Tang opened his mouth and said in a loud voice, "Is this Uncle Liu? Hello, I am on behalf of a friend to help go back to the orphanage to visit you and the children."

With a "squeak", the small door opened from the inside, and an old man over sixty years old appeared in front of Baitang.The old man was wearing a patched blue cloth, his black and yellow face was covered with wrinkles, and his hands were full of calluses.Bai Tang immediately remembered the image of an old farmer in a TV series "Old Farmer" he just watched.Although this old man is not a farmer, he is also a simple, hardworking and respectable old man.

"Uncle Liu!" Baitang called out politely.After listening to Sun Senwen's description of the orphanage, she has a heart of respect for the staff in the orphanage. The actions of these people deserve her respect.

"Girl, are you from our orphanage? Why haven't I seen you?" Uncle Liu looked up and down Baitang suspiciously.

Baitang pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Liu, I didn't go out of the orphanage. I came back to visit you on behalf of my friend. My friend's name is Sun Sangwen. Do you have any impression?"

Before Baitang left the future world, he approached Sun Sangwen and said bluntly that he had found a way to travel back to the 21st century, but this method can only be used once, and he cannot return to the future world after returning to the 21st century, so he asked Sun Senwen if he would like to come back together.Sun Senwen naturally refused, and Baitang asked Sun Sangwen what he wanted for her help, and Sun Sangwen asked Baitang to go to the orphanage to visit the director, Uncle Liu, and the children.Sun Sangwen gave Baitang two gene enhancers in exchange for 21 million RMB in the 500st century, asking Baitang to help him donate to the orphanage, so that the life of the orphanage staff and children can be better.Sun Sangwen then revealed the real name of his previous life to Baitang, and he was also called Sun Sangwen. He thought that this name had become a thread in his memory, but he did not expect that after 30 years of wandering around, he regained this name again.Fate?

"Sun Sangwen?" Uncle Liu thought for a long time, and then he remembered Sun Sangwen's appearance under Baitang's reminder, "Are you his friend? Come in quickly, I will take you to see the dean."

The front yard is relatively large, and vegetable fields have been reclaimed piece by piece, where lettuce, lettuce, potatoes, lentils, eggplant and other vegetables and fruits are grown.The flowers of eggplant are small and white; the flowers of lentils are more colorful, yellow, purple, brown... swaying in the wind, like a beautiful canvas.

Seeing Baitang's eyes on the vegetable field, Uncle Liu explained to her: "The conditions in our yard are not very good, so we grow vegetables ourselves, and we can save some vegetable money to buy stationery for the children. Anyway, we have an open space here. , It’s wasted if you don’t use it.”

"This move is very good!" Baitang praised.No wonder Sun Senwen said that he was never hungry when he was a child, but he was still stunted. He only ate vegetarian food without meat, so how could he keep up with nutrition.It’s just that the orphanage is located in a remote place, and it’s hard for kindhearted people to come here. Without donations, the operating expenses of the orphanage only depend on the state’s appropriation, but that amount of appropriation can only support the basic operation of the orphanage. When the children in the yard are getting more and more After more, the money will not be enough.The dean also applied to the higher authorities for an increase in the amount, but there are many welfare institutions in the country, and it is impossible to increase the amount just for the Dehua Orphanage, but if you want to increase the allocation for all, the amount will be huge.As a result, the matter of increasing the appropriation was delayed like this.Four years after Sun Sangwen traveled, the matter of appropriation had not been resolved.

"Are you a friend of Sang Wen's child? Is he okay?" The dean is an old mother in her 50s, her hair is half gray, and she has a kind demeanor, which makes people feel kind from the heart.

"He's fine! But because he went abroad for work, he couldn't come back to see you, so he asked me to come here instead." Bai Tang glanced around the dean's office, the office furniture inside was very old, the sofa didn't even have Elasticity.

The dean put the brewed tea in front of Baitang, pulled a chair and sat opposite Baitang: "That kid Sang Wen is the most promising one in our yard. Instead, they send money back every month. Although the amount is not much, it can provide a meal or two for the younger brothers and sisters. Later, the child sent back more and more money every month after working, which can help There are more and more children, but just four years ago, this child suddenly disappeared, which really worried us, for fear that something would happen to this child. Now I hear you say that he has left the country, and I am relieved. "

The dean speaks neither fast nor slow, and his tone is gentle. Speaking of Sun Sangwen is like talking about his own son, making people feel the loving mother's heart clearly.

"The country where Sun Senwen is stationed is a relatively backward country, so it's not very convenient to contact." Baitang lied and took out two checks and handed them to the dean, "Sun Senwen asked me to transfer the 1000 million to you, please accept it! "

Baitang paid 500 million by himself, under the guise of Sun Senwen.

"1000 million?" The dean was taken aback, his calm expression couldn't hold back, "Where did Senwen get so much money? He wouldn't have done something illegal, would he?"

Bai Tang hurriedly comforted the dean: "Mother dean, don't worry, Sun Senwen did not do anything illegal. He earned all the money through formal means on his own. You have to trust his ability!"

"Really? You didn't lie to me!" Dean Youzi asked hesitantly. It wasn't that she didn't trust the child she brought up, but the amount was too big for her to believe. 1000 million!It is a huge sum of money for her and for the orphanage. With this sum, the small building can be repaired, otherwise the roof will always drip when it rains; the children can eat meat every day, and their nutrition can keep up; The tuition fee has been settled, and they will not go out to work in the society to earn money after finishing junior high school, wasting their talent for reading; they can buy a few more computers and connect to the Internet. In today's society, computers and the Internet are the mainstream, and children do not understand computers. And the Internet will be ridiculed and eliminated by the society; employees can be raised for decades, and everyone has never paid for it regardless of remuneration, so they should be compensated accordingly; by the way, we need to recruit a few more A young employee, the old employees are old and have limited energy, and they will be negligent in taking care of the children...

The dean thought a lot, and after Baitang confirmed and confirmed that there was no problem with the source of the money, the dean carefully collected the two checks.

"Thank you, girl!" The dean was both grateful and appreciative to Bai Tang. The girl in front of him sent it over with such a large amount of 1000 million, which shows that she has a very good character—Mother of the dean, the person in front of you is a Local tyrants, 1000 million is a small case for others, of course they will not be greedy, it has nothing to do with character.

"It's easy!" Baitang smiled.

"Mother of the dean, mother of the dean!" Hearing the shout from downstairs, the dean confessed to Bai Tang, walked to the window, and asked loudly, "Sanming, what happened?"

Baitang followed the dean to the window.The window of the dean’s office faces the back yard, which is only one-third the size of the front yard. There are game facilities such as parallel bars, a seesaw, and a table tennis table near the wall. These facilities look relatively simple, and the seesaw is A long formwork is fixed on a soil bag, which seems to be DIY by the orphanage staff.

"Dean's mother, Brother Dashan caught three big fish, shall we have fish soup tonight?" The person shouting downstairs was a little boy a little over six years old, dark and thin but very energetic. Swallowing his saliva with hunger.

"Okay!" The dean's mother agreed with a smile, "Go and tell Mama Zhang to buy another five catties of pork and make braised pork for everyone!"

The little boy cheered and ran to find Mama Zhang who was in charge of the kitchen.

The dean turned his head and said to Baitang: "The children can only eat meat once a week, and they are all hungry."

Baitang smiled and said, "It's all over now, with Sun Sangwen's money, the children can eat meat every day."

The dean also smiled: "Yes, thank you to Sang Wen! When the children grow up, let them go abroad in person to thank their brother Sang Wen!"

Baitang twitched his lips. Even if the children in the orphanage went abroad, they couldn't find Sun Sangwen. He was so tall that he traveled to the future world!
