Chapter 4 The Orphanage

After leaving school, Cong Lu took the bus to the station.

In the evening, Cong Lu finally returned to the orphanage.Qin's mother must be preparing dinner in the kitchen now. Standing at the gate, Cong Lu saw the children in the orphanage playing games under the supervision of a few older children. ponytail, under the cover of a girl in a jeans t-shirt, playing on a slide.

Turning her head inadvertently, the girl saw Cong Lu standing there, with a bright smile on her delicate face, "Sister Lulu, you're back!"

"Well, come back and have a look." Cong Lu smiled and looked at the eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl in front of him, "Where are Sisi and Xiaohui, smile?" All three of them stayed in the orphanage to help after graduating from high school. Didn't go to college, didn't go out to work.Qin's mother is getting older and older, and it is a bit overwhelming to take care of the children in the orphanage by herself.

Smiling and pointing, "Here, Xiaohui." As soon as he finished speaking, a sunny boy in hurdling shorts came over with a basketball in his hand.

"Ha, Sister Lulu, Qin's mother was still talking about you two days ago. There are not many fruits in the orphanage. Sisi went to buy them by bike, and she will be back soon."

"Sister Lulu, Sister Lulu!" Behind Xiaohui, there were several children who were playing basketball just now, and now they rushed to greet him.

Cong Lu nodded in agreement, took out the prepared candies from her backpack, and distributed them to them.Touching a small head with thick head and thick head, Cong Lu asked with a smile: "Zhuang Zhuang, did you listen when Sister Lulu was not in the orphanage?"

"Sister Lulu, Zhuang Zhuang is very obedient. Mother Qin even praised me this morning." Zhuang Zhuang replied quickly.

"Oh~ who was that kid who was crying yesterday evening!" Xiaoxiao teased from the side.

"Hmph, why did Brother Xiaohui not give me a lollipop?" Zhuang Zhuang retorted with his lips pouted.

"Then who has a toothache in the middle of the night and is about to roll on the ground?" Xiaohui said immediately.

"That's right, I feel ashamed when I eat sweets and get a toothache." Several children next to him also booed.This time Zhuang Zhuang blushed under the teasing of everyone and couldn't lift himself up.

"Ah, I said the yard is so lively, so my dearest sister Lulu is back!" The bright girl who came in pushed a rickshaw and greeted Cong Lu with a smile.

"Yes! Your dear sister Lulu is back, do you miss me?" Cong Lu joked.

"That is, we have to think about it day and night!"

While talking, he took out the apples from the tricycle and put them in the storage room.After a while, he came over with the washed and cut apples.

Several people were laughing and joking, and time passed quickly.At this time, Qin's mother shouted from the kitchen, "It's time to eat, go wash your hands!"

Cong Lu took the hands of Xiaoxiao and Sisi, and walked into the room quickly. "Mother Qin, I'm back." Mother Qin, who was busy, paused when she heard the voice, suddenly raised her head, and saw Cong Lu looking at her eagerly, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back! Why didn't you call in advance so that Xiaohui could pick you up? Dinner is ready, let's sit down and eat!"

Cong Lu nodded, went to wash her hands, helped the children set the dishes, and then sat down to eat.

After eating, Xiaoxiao and Sisi went to wash the dishes, and Cong Lu followed Mother Qin to her room.Cong Lu took out the check from her bag and handed it to Mother Qin.

"Mother Qin, you keep the money well, and you don't have to worry about money anymore in the future."

Qin's mother looked at the check in Cong Lu's hand and asked suspiciously, "Lu Lu, where did you get so much money?!"

"The money is mine, mother Qin, don't worry."

"Your? Lulu, you can't do stupid things! Once you start some things, you won't be able to turn back!" Thinking of the endless stream of young girls in newspapers and TVs who either betrayed themselves or took desperate risks to make big troubles for money. Qin's mother was anxious about the incident, and her voice raised unconsciously.

Not only was Cong Lu not angry that Qin's mother scolded her, but she felt a warm current in her heart.Yes, only Qin's mother who really puts herself in her heart will not be overjoyed when such a huge sum of money is placed in front of her, but first think about how she got so much money and whether she has done anything wrong Bar!

Cong Lu stepped forward and took Qin's mother's hand, and the two sat by the bed, telling Qin's mother about their encounters in the past few days without reservation.

An hour later, Cong Lu stopped talking. Qin's mother was speechless for a long time. After a while, she said to Cong Lu, "Lu Lu, don't tell others about this, including laughing at them. This is too unbelievable." Well, it's too dangerous to let someone with bad intentions know your situation.

Qin's mother's name is Qin Lihua. She was married before. Her husband is a successful businessman. They have a good relationship and have a daughter. But when her daughter was four years old, she was abducted. Qin's mother was sending After crazily searching and missing, she suffered a great blow to her spirit and suffered from depression for a while, and her husband filed for divorce two years later because of cheating on her.On the day of the divorce, Qin Lihua took the divorce certificate and her husband, no, it should be said that it was her ex-husband, because she felt guilty about the compensation he gave her, she walked on the street in a daze, not knowing where she was going in the future.My parents have passed away for many years, and my relatives and friends are not in the same city, so I seldom move around.Looking at the cars passing by on the road, Qin Lihua thought about dying like this, but at this moment she saw Cong Lu on the other side of the road, her small body was shivering from the cold, and her face could not be seen. When she reached the five sense organs, she was holding a steamed stuffed bun that the old lady next to her pitifully gave her, and she was devouring it. It seemed that she was not full after several meals.

Qin Lihua's heart was touched for a while, yes, her daughter is already this old now, can she be fed and clothed?Or is she doing the same thing as this little beggar in other places where she can't see, eating the food given to her by kind people?
In this way, Qin Lihua took Cong Lu home, bathed her, changed her clothes, and looked at the little girl with ordinary eyebrows. Qin Lihua prayed in her heart that other kind people could treat her daughter like this. .

In fact, Cong Lu was already nine years old when Qin Lihua picked her up, but her long-term malnutrition made her look only six or seven years old.

Later, Qin Lihua successively adopted more than a dozen children such as Xiaoxiao, Sisi, Xiaohui, etc., but in her heart, Cong Lu was always special. She pulled herself out of the death emotion and saw She always thinks of her daughter herself, and over time, they seem to have become real mother and daughter.
