In the dean's office, Mrs. Li quietly looked at a very simple ink painting with the words "Spring Garden" written on it.
The sapphire blue haute couture suit set off her complexion well, and the jewelry she wore was even more expensive.
The receptionist and Wu Ma each took their own side.
This was the first time that Mrs. Li went upstairs with the receptionist and walked into the dean's office.
In previous visits to the orphanage, she would only stay on the first floor for ten minutes, waiting for Wu Ma and others to hand over the donated items to the staff before leaving. At most, she could only take a photo with everyone to show their appreciation.
"Is this by Ms. Wang Chunhua?" Mrs. Li pointed to the ink painting on the wall.
The receptionist replied: "Yes."
"Yeah, I thought so. It's exactly the same as the font on the plaque at the door. It's very beautiful."
"Yes, although there are new names now... but the dean said that the name of the Spring Garden will never change, because he is afraid that the children who leave will not find a home."
Mrs. Li nodded and looked out the window, just looking at it and frowning slightly.
The quaint building, mottled walls, and dark gray tiles bear traces of time everywhere. If it weren't for the insistence of her husband Li Zhenshan, this place would have been rebuilt long ago.
Zhenshan, you think this is also Xiaodan’s home and you can’t bear to see it destroyed, right?
Is it useful to donate money every year to repair it?
She couldn't see anything at all!
Every time Mrs. Li thinks of this past incident, her heart will twist with a knife, and she hates Yi Xiaodan so much that her husband will never forget her even after he dies.
It took ten years for him to be unable to replace Yi Xiaodan.
Suddenly, the ajar door was slowly pushed open.
I saw Dean Chen walking in quickly wearing dark gray casual clothes. Although her figure is slightly thinner, she is still tall and tall, and even her neat short hair shines with silvery white light.
The traces of time are engraved on her face, and the vicissitudes of life have added to her kindness, and her deep eyes highlight a bit of wisdom and open-mindedness.
He is 65 years old and still so capable!
Mrs. Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward: "Dean Chen, how are you doing lately?"
"Very well, Mrs. Li, please sit down."
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded. After sitting down, she said with concern: "Dean, it's getting cold. I think the children should buy some winter clothes, but I'm afraid they won't be suitable."
Before she finished speaking, Wu Ma had already easily opened an Oxford cloth bag.
"Not much, just a little care."
The dean watched as bundles of cash worth 100 yuan were taken out, 20 bundles in total, with a complicated look on his face.
When Li Zhenshan was still alive, Mrs. Li once proposed that she would like to be an honorary dean, but she was declined by Dean Chen. This incident today had to make Dean Chen feel a little confused.
"Mrs. Li, thank you very much for your generosity. This money will definitely help the children spend a warm winter. Thank you."
Mrs. Li smiled and waved her hand, and said softly: "You're welcome, just a little thought."
"Madam, if I can help..."
"Thank you for your kindness, no."
After saying this, the dean finally let go of his hanging heart.
It seems to be just a simple donation.
"By the way, Dean Chen, I seem to have heard some time ago that you intend to turn the abandoned dormitory building at the back into a teaching building. Is this possible?"
Speaking of this, the dean was filled with emotion.
Last month, she earnestly went to the dormitory owner's house to talk about this matter, but his boss just didn't agree and would rather waste it there.
This is a matter of mutual benefit to both parties, and you can apply for relevant subsidies, which can be regarded as renting an orphanage.
Unexpectedly, several negotiations failed.
Just a few days ago, she didn't know how Ye Wanhua and Wang Junchen knew about this and directly bought the land for the orphanage.
Not only do we need to help them build the teaching building, but the related facilities inside and the subsequent staffing of teachers are all solved for them at once.
"Dean Chen, Dean Chen?"
"Oh, the matter in the teaching building has been resolved." The dean recovered his thoughts and replied with a smile.
Mrs. Li nodded in surprise: "Okay, just solve it. I was still thinking... to see if I could be of any help, but it turned out to be too late."
"Thank you for your kindness."
"Hey, you see, this doesn't help. If you have any difficulties in the future, just say it and you're welcome."
Hearing this, the receptionist couldn't help but joked silently in his heart: Tell me earlier, poor dean who has been running around here and there these days!
At this moment, two little boys ran in to play with the dean, holding small racing cars in their hands.
One of them shouted excitedly: "Grandma, grandma, look, we have a new toy, come play with us, it's so fun."
"It's a car, a new car!" Another boy quickly put the car on the ground.
The world of children is so simple. Although they are disabled and walk unsteadily, the smiles on their faces are extremely bright.
Of course, they didn't understand that at this moment, the adults were talking about business.
The dean knelt down and talked to the children cordially: "Wow, this car is awesome. You will soon learn to operate it. It's amazing!"
"Look, they can turn on their own."
Mrs. Li looked at the scars on the children's faces, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She pretended to be calm and picked up the tea cup, wanting to take a sip of water to calm down, but she gave up the idea after seeing that the tea brewed in it was jasmine tea.
She would rather be flustered than drink it.
Seeing this, Wu Ma quickly took out the tranquilizing pills and thermos cup she had prepared in advance from her purse.
"Madam, it's time for you to take your medicine."
This is a fact, twice a day, at noon and at night, but at this moment it has become Mrs. Li's best shield, otherwise she would appear to be a little rude.
"Oh, okay, it's time to take medicine."
So Mrs. Li took the pills.
The dean stood up slowly, smiled and touched the children's heads, and then said to Mrs. Li: "Are you okay? Why don't you let the hospital doctor take a look at it?"
Wu Ma: "..."
With your conditions, you still dare to treat my wife. It's really outrageous.
If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?
"It's nothing, it's an old problem." Mrs. Li shook her head and handed the thermos cup back to Wu's mother, "Dean Chen, it's getting late, so I won't disturb your work. We'll talk when we have time."
Mrs. Li's abnormality made the dean full of doubts, but it didn't show on her face.
She nodded slightly and replied gently: "Okay, thank you again for your generous help. I will have the donation certificate sent to you as soon as possible."
"Just a little thought, no need."
After saying this, Mrs. Li raised her feet and left.
The reception teacher quickly showed the way to Mrs. Li and Wu Ma, and enthusiastically sent them out of the orphanage.
"You walk slowly, thank you for your donation."
Then there was a deep bow. After all, he is also a rich man. He donated 200,000 yuan at once, which can buy a lot of things for the children.
As everyone knows, Mrs. Li just wants to have peace of mind. The Li family has suffered too many hardships recently.
Doing some good deeds might help.
Seeing that the receptionist was so polite, Wu Ma quickly waved her hand and replied with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, come in quickly, it seems like it's going to rain."
"Okay, bye, walk slowly."
The black car slowly drove away from the gate.
Through the car window glass, Mrs. Li just accidentally glanced inside the fence, but she saw a figure that shocked her.
