After a while, the sound of noisy play came from the slightly old tile house.

The sound was full of innocence and vitality, as if it could break through all the haze in this world.

The children's cheerful laughter was as clear as silver bells, echoing in the air.

When they saw Lin Xun, they all surrounded him excitedly.

"Brother Xun! You are back!"

"Brother Xun, I miss you so much!"

Lin Xun saw their familiar shadows.

Little radish heads surrounded Lin Xun, their eyes full of expectation and excitement, these children are so cute, so innocent.

"Brother Xun, look! I can write my own name!"

In the crowd, a shorter figure held up a yellowed paper with four big characters "Brother Xun" written crookedly on it.

It was Qiqi.

His hair was a little messy, as if he hadn't taken good care of it for a long time, his face was white and clean, and there were a few shallow mud marks on it.

A pair of big eyes showed cleverness. She was wearing a worn gray short-sleeved shirt, which was covered with patches and stains, and the corners of the clothes were a little worn.

She was also wearing a pair of worn cloth shoes on her feet. There were many scratches on the uppers, and the shoelaces were tied loosely.

Every time Lin Xun looked at Qiqi's right hand, he would feel a pang of bitterness in his heart.

Although the children here were all orphans, they were all healthy, except Qiqi, who was missing the thumb on her right hand. Her future life might be even more difficult.

Lin Xun calmed down, put on a smile on his face, and picked up Qiqi.

"Qiqi is great, the handwriting is really good!"

"Brother Xun, is the picture we drew for you in your hand?"

A girl who looked younger carefully pulled Lin Xun's trouser leg.

Lin Xun put Qiqi down, reached out and touched her hair: "Yes, Xiao Nuomi, I received the gifts you sent me. You all drew this picture very well! I like it very much!"

"Come on, I brought you gifts too!"

After that, Lin Xun led the children into the tile house.

He put the painting into his backpack, and then took out the dragonfly he bought in Haipu City.

The blue dragonfly was lifelike.

"Wow! Is this for us? So beautiful!"

The children surrounded him instantly.

"Well, of course it's for you, one for each of you!"

Lin Xun handed the dragonflies to the children one by one.

The children showed excited smiles on their faces when they got the dragonflies.

It can be seen that they are happy from the bottom of their hearts. Although these gifts are insignificant, they can bring endless happiness to the children.

"Thank you, Brother Xun!"

"Thank you!"

The children excitedly surrounded Lin Xun.

"Brother Xun, are you leaving again soon after you come back this time?"

"Can you stay with us for a while longer?"

"I can give all my favorite toys to Brother Xun, can you stay for a while longer?"

"Let's play the game of eagle catching chickens again, okay?"

"......"

Lin Xun felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

These children have always been taken care of by Grandpa Lu, and have never felt the warmth of their parents. They think the happiest time is the time when they play games with themselves.

If possible, Lin Xun would like to spend more time with them.

"You little boys, don't make things difficult for Brother Xun. He must have taken time out of work to come back to see us. You should understand Brother Xun."

Grandpa Lu looked at the children with a loving face.

"Okay, children, stop pestering Brother Xun. Come and have breakfast!"

Grandpa Lu brought a large bowl of porridge and put it on the wooden table.

Then he took out some bowls.

Xiaoqiang, as the oldest child, took the bowl very responsible, his movements were skillful and steady. He distributed the vegetable leaf porridge one by one. Although he was the oldest, he was only twelve or thirteen years old.

"Xiaoqiang, give it to me. Brother will help you serve the porridge."

Lin Xun stretched out his hand to help.

"No, no, Brother Xun, you finally came back once. How can I trouble you? Grandpa Lu taught us that we must be sensible. Brother Xun, just sit down!"

Xiaoqiang shook his head with a hint of stubbornness on his face.

A group of children sat in a circle around the small wooden table. They sat upright and behaved very well.

Grandpa Lu took out a cooked egg and put it on the table.

"There is one egg left. Xiao Nuomi, you can eat it."

Xiao Nuomi was the youngest child here. Grandpa Lu pushed the bowl of cooked eggs in front of her.

"XunBrother eats it."

Little Nuomi pouted, picked up the egg and put it next to Lin Xun.

Eggs are already very good things for them.

Seeing this, Lin Xun felt sad and reached out to touch Little Nuomi's hair.

"Thank you, Little Nuomi, but brother doesn't like to eat eggs, can you help brother eat it?"

Lin Xun forced a smile, picked up the egg, peeled the shell, and handed it to Little Nuomi.

"Eggs are so delicious, brother Xun, don't you like to eat them?"

Little Nuomi tilted her little head and looked at Lin Xun, with a puzzled look.

"Brother eats delicious food every day outside, so if he doesn't like to eat, you can help brother eat it."

"Oh, okay then!"

Little Nuomi took the egg and ate it in small bites.

This scene made Lin Xun feel very sad. He looked at Grandpa Lu and said:

"Grandpa Lu, is there any money left from the money I send every month? "

Grandpa Lu was silent for a moment and shook his head after hearing this.

"Basically, all the money every month is spent on the living expenses of these children. I usually try to give each of them an egg in the morning and some meat dishes at noon. But Yueyue caught a cold and had a fever some time ago, which cost several hundred yuan, so the living expenses were not enough. I could only eat porridge for a few days at the end of the month. I was planning to go out today to see if there was any work I could do..."

The children drank the porridge in big mouthfuls, and their faces were still filled with happy smiles.

This ordinary vegetable leaf porridge seemed like a delicious delicacy in their mouths. Delicious.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa Lu... It's all my fault..."

Yueyue, who was eating rice porridge, lowered her head.

"How can you be blamed for this? It's Grandpa who didn't take good care of you... Grandpa is old and useless, so you have to work so hard... Okay, let's eat..." Grandpa Lu narrowed his eyes and touched Yueyue's hair.

Lin Xun drank two bowls of vegetable leaf porridge, which tasted bland and had no special taste.

After breakfast, several children actively cleaned up the wooden table, and the older children rushed to wash the dishes.

Lin Xun glanced at Grandpa Lu, and then called him into the room.

"What's wrong, Lin Xun?"

"Grandpa Lu, there are two million in this card. These children are gradually growing up, and they must not be able to live without studying. You should take this money and try to make their lives better..."

This may be the last thing I can do for them...

Lin Xun muttered in his heart.

Looking at the bank card handed over by Lin Xun, Grandpa Lu was shocked:

"Lin Xun, this... two million? Where did it come from??"
