The letter was indeed sent by Teacher Lu from Crimson Moon Orphanage. The phone at home was only used by Mom. Lu Xin didn't even know the number. Naturally, Teacher Lu couldn't find him on the phone, so if anything happened, he would write to her.
The letter said that the orphanage's qualifications had recently been approved and the children would have the opportunity to enter school in the future. She was very happy.
In addition, I had invited Lu Xin before, so I decided to make dumplings and ask Lu Xin to come over and eat them together.
"It actually got done..."
Lu Xin is somewhat unexpected.
In fact, he knows very well what Crimson Moon Orphanage is like now. There are too many places that do not meet Administrative Hall standards. The place is small and the conditions are poor. She only has one teacher and one security guard. With such conditions, how can she obtain the qualifications to run an orphanage? And without formal qualifications, it is even less possible to obtain funding support from the Administrative Hall.
Although Teacher Lu used to run there often, many times he came back disappointed.
Sometimes even Lu Xin thinks her running method is useless, but Teacher Lu's answer is:
Anyway, idle time is idle...
I had no choice but to let her go, but I didn't expect that now she actually did it.
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
Lu Xin thought that among Satellite City, there seemed to be some Colonel Chen with great hands and eyes, and he was quite unsure.
He could actually feel that Special Pollution Cleanup Department valued him and was vigilant, wanting to get close but being cautious at the same time.
He usually behaves calmly and slowly, but this is because he is sensitive to it.
"No matter what, this is a good thing, I still have to go there..."
Lu Xin made a decision in his heart. He looked up and saw that Mom's bedroom door was tightly closed.
The whole house was as quiet as if I was the only one.
"Alas..."
I originally wanted to ask him a question, but she ignored him.
Lu Xin had no choice but to drink the glass of water silently, then got up and returned to the room.
On the second day, Lu Xin finished the work in the business company early, said hello to Han Bing on the satellite phone, and then got on the bus early, planning to go to the orphanage in advance so that he could help Teacher Lu cook.
When he approached the urban area of Crimson Moon Orphanage, he got out of the car in advance and walked leisurely on the road.
Every time he went to the orphanage, it was always the most relaxing time for him.
Because my family almost never comes to the orphanage with me, including my sister.
After walking for a while, Lu Xin was thinking about buying some gifts for them, and then walked into a store with a neon sign that flashed and flashed.
Like other stores in Satellite City, although this store is not large, the products are still very rich, and they are roughly divided into two categories. One is produced today, and the packaging is rough, but it looks brand new; the other is obviously beautifully packaged, but it looks a bit old. The former are often produced by other Satellite City or Main City, while the latter are often brought in from outside the city by the wasteland search teams. Judging from the shelf life, it is naturally expired, but there are many, and it does not affect the taste at all.
After choosing for a while, Lu Xin bought several packages of biscuits and a large package of candies, carrying both large and small packages and walked out.
It is easier to choose gifts for children, but I am not sure what to give Teacher Lu.
By this time, the sky was getting dark, and the night was falling.
Not far away, under a dim streetlight, a little boy was squatting. He was skinny but had a big head. He was wearing gray clothes and his hair looked dirty. He was carrying a straw basket in his hand. There were a bunch of trimmed roses of different lengths and even looked a little wilted. He was shouting in a low voice, "Is there anyone who wants to buy it..."
When Lu Xin passed by him, he raised his head and looked at Lu Xin with his dark eyes:
"Brother, do you want to buy my Rose Flower?"
Lu Xin looked at his thin little face and covered with dust, subconsciously slowed down and said, "How much does one stick cost?"
The little boy looked a little happy. "Ten yuan!"
Lu Xin put his hand in his pocket, took it out again, shook his head and said, "I won't buy it."
The little boy was a little nervous, looked at Lu Xin as if pleading, and said, "Brother, buy one."
"My Rose Flower is magical. If you buy it and give it to your sweetheart, she will definitely fall in love with you..."
"..."
Lu Xin looked at Rose Flower in his basket, shook his head slightly and said, "No, she will scold me for spending money randomly!"
As he spoke, he took out a coin from his pocket, put it into the little boy's basket, and continued walking forward.
The little boy stared blankly at Lu Xin's retreating back, and then looked down at the one-yuan coins in the basket.
A little confused.
"Don't follow me..."
There was a noise coming from a distance. A young and fashionable girl wearing round glasses shook her hands vigorously and walked quickly in this direction with a look of impatience on her face. Behind him was a young man carrying a few apples. He wore glasses, a jacket and jeans. He wanted to catch up with the girl, but he didn't dare to catch up, so he could only trot behind the girl:
"Yuan Yuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting like this suddenly?"
But the girl just walked quickly, repeating what she said before, "Don't follow me, it's very annoying, okay..."
The little boy lowered his head and shouted feebly, "Does anyone want to buy Rose Flower..."
"Give it to your girlfriend, she will fall in love with you..."
"..."
A man and a woman walked quickly past him.
After a few steps, the young man suddenly remembered something and ran over quickly, panting. "How much?"
The little boy looked up at him and said, "Ten dollars!"
"So expensive..."
The young man glanced at the direction the girl was walking, gritted his teeth, and took out a banknote. "Give me one!"
Then he picked up Rose Flower and quickly chased in the direction where the girl was leaving.
"I said I don't want your apples, and I don't want to see you again, so please stop annoying me..."
No matter how fast the girl walked, she couldn't catch up as fast as the boy. Finally, she caught up with the girl in front of an apartment building, but what she got was a look of disgust on the girl's face. She seemed worried that the boy would follow her upstairs, so she decided to make it clear to him downstairs. "You look very annoying like this, okay? A breakup is a breakup. You are a grown man, can you stop being such a rogue?"
"I'm not a scoundrel, I really am not..."
The expression on the young man's face was very angry, and he was a little confused. "I just don't know why it suddenly happened like this..."
"It was obviously so good last night, why did it suddenly become like this?"
"..."
"That's it for emotional matters. What else do you want to ask?"
The girl looked at him with disgust. "If you do this again, I'm going to shout loudly..."
"I..."
The young man subconsciously took a step back. "What do you think I am? Why do I need you to shout loudly?"
The girl just frowned, looked at him, and said coldly, "I'm going upstairs!"
It seemed that this expression finally made the young man wake up. He weakly lifted the apple in his hand, but then lowered it, silently handed over the Rose Flower in his hand, and whispered, "Then... can you accept this rose? I promised you before..."
"I know I'm not qualified anymore, but at least you can take this flower..."
"..."
The girl looked at the rose, then at the young man, with a cold face, she grabbed the rose in her hand.
The young man raised his head and looked at her, his arms slightly open.
The girl immediately took a step back cautiously and said with a cold face, "What do you want to do?"
The young man also took a step back, and then slowly squatted down.
It wasn't until the girl turned around and went upstairs and slammed the door hard that his voice started to sound like crying.
"I just don't understand. Why were you so alert when I wanted to hug you today when you were fine yesterday?"
"..."
The girl who went upstairs looked bored and threw the rose away casually.
But just when she was about to throw her hand away, she glanced at this rose from the corner of her eyes, and it was a slightly faded purple, and suddenly her heart moved.
Inexplicably, she suddenly felt reluctant to let go.
