Xiao Mingyue sat next to her and looked at her father, and she felt a little angry. She was not angry because of the orphanage. She was still a little confused about these things. The main thing she was angry because Xiao Bing was angry. Xiao Mingyue’s idea was very simple. If those people make their father unhappy, then those people must be big villains and must be punished accordingly.

The car stopped outside the gate of an orphanage.

Xiao Bing opened the car door and walked down first, and then Xiao Mingyue followed him out. When the two looked up, they saw that it was a black iron gate, and there was a horizontal plaque above the gate, which read Changping Children's Welfare Home.

Orphanages are generally called by the private sector. In fact, after the establishment of New China, the orphanage was named as a children's welfare home. It is basically organized by the state department and will provide corresponding funds for the daily expenses of the welfare home. However, this children's welfare home was not organized by the state department, but was founded by private merchants. The founder was Zhang Jinlan's grandmother. Xiao Bing usually called Aunt Jinlan. She should be over 60 years old now.

It is said that the Zhang family was originally a wealthy family in Changping City, but in the chaotic era before the founding of New China in the last century, horse thieves went to the city to burn, kill and rob. Most of Zhang Jinlan's ancestors died. Zhang Jinlan's grandfather, second uncle and third uncle all died, leaving only his father's lineage. Later, the Zhang family began to decline. Zhang Jinlan's grandmother believed in Buddhism at home. Suddenly one day she sold all the assets in the family and founded this orphanage. After the founding of New China, she changed her name to the Children's Welfare Home. Until today, the children's welfare home in China is basically the state's industry, but this children's welfare home was completely founded by the Zhang family. From Zhang Jinlan's grandmother to her father, to Zhang Jinlan's generation, they have been working hard to maintain this welfare home. The operating funds are basically funded by some caring people. After all, the Zhang family's family has been almost spent after so many years.

It is such a generation of Zhang family who do good deeds. If they are still persecuted by bad developers and corrupt government officials, will there be a conscience in this world?

Xiao Mingyue said: "Dad, you used to live in this yard?"

"Yeah." Xiao Mingyue nodded. The plaque on it was dilapidated, the walls were dilapidated, and the tall buildings that could be seen with a glance looked dilapidated. However, this yard is indeed very large. As a second-tier city, Changping City cannot be said to be worth every inch of land, but such a large piece of land is worth a lot of money. Logically speaking, there is no need for Zhang Jinlan to hold on to this welfare home. As long as the welfare home is disbanded and the place is sold, it will definitely be enough for her to enjoy the two generations of comfort and have no worries about food and drink.

But she didn't, because the welfare home was her life, and these lonely children were her family!

Xiao Bing took Xiao Mingyue's hand and patted the black iron gate of the welfare home with great force. At this time, a ragged man suddenly walked out of the guard room inside the yard. The man had messy white hair and a little disabled left leg, so he limped and leaned on a cane.

The cripple looked sixty years old, with wrinkles on his face, gray hair and beard, and a little hunched back. His eyes were originally very turbid, but when he saw Xiao Bing, it shone brightly. At the same time, he accelerated a few steps, walked over, quickly opened the door, and then looked at Xiao Bing up and down, and said excitedly: "Little Soldier, is he a little Soldier, is he a little Soldier?"

"It's me, it's me." Xiao Bing was also a little excited, his nose felt sour, and his tone became slightly choked.

Xiao Bing was very naughty when he was a child and often fought, but every time the cripple always defended him, treating him very well, even treating him better than the aunts in the welfare home. Sometimes Xiao Bing treats the cripple as a kind father. He hasn't seen him for more than ten years, how can he not be excited?

Xiao Bing had tears in his eyes, holding the cripple and said, "Clavic, you haven't seen each other for so many years. You're old. Let's go with me this time. I'll go to support you. I'm so old, so don't continue to guard the gate here."

The lame man patted Xiao Bing and laughed in a hoarse voice: "Okay, okay, good boy, the lame man has accepted your filial piety, but no need, the lame man has become accustomed to this place and can no longer walk and doesn't want to leave. Little Soldier, you have finally come back for so many years."

Xiao Bing said with tears in his eyes: "I should have come back to see you a long time ago, it's me wrong."

"It's okay, it's okay. We all know that you are bringing glory to the country. The person who took you away was from the country. When I took you away, I once said that you will be from a special department of the country in the future. I'm afraid it's hard to have the chance to come back. You can come back in the lifetime of the cripple. The cripple is already happy enough. God treats me well enough!"

Xiao Bing said, "Crip, you really have to stay and refuse to go back with me?"

"No, no." The cripple was excited for a long time and hugged Xiao Bing. At this time, he saw Xiao Mingyue standing next to him and asked, "Little Bing, whose child is this?"

"This is my child. Her name is Xiao Mingyue."

"Have you given birth to a child?" The lame man became even more excited. He bent down and looked at Xiao Mingyue carefully. Sometimes he was confused, sometimes he praised, sometimes relieved. Finally, he touched Xiao Mingyue's head and sighed, "Mingyue is not like you, but she looks better than you. Hahahaha!"

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Crip, are all the aunts here?"

"Oh, your aunt and third aunt have both passed away."

Xiao Bing was struck by lightning. When Xiao Bing was young, there were seven women and one man in this welfare home. One man was a cripple. The seven women took care of their children's daily life every day. From age to childhood, these seven women were called aunts, second aunts, third aunts by Xiao Bing and others... and the dean Zhang Jinlan was the second among them, and they were second in age.

Xiao Bing still remembers that aunt was the strictest, but she also loved her the most. If she were still alive now, she should have been in her seventies, but she had passed away.

That third aunt likes to knit some things on weekdays. I remember knitting sweaters for myself in winter, but now she is no longer there.

Xiao Bing said excitedly: "How could Aunt Third, how could she die at such a young age?"

The cripple sighed and said, "She died last year. The year she died was exactly 60, and it was not considered a premature death. She had cancer and was already in the late stage of cancer when she was diagnosed. No one could avoid it. You don't have to be too sad."

Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Then I'll go and see the other aunts."

"Well, your fourth aunt was taken back by her children and went to the provincial capital to enjoy her happiness. When her children came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave. In the end, she was persuaded by the dean for two days and two nights before leaving with her children. However, the others were here to take care of the new children."

While speaking, the cripple took Xiao Bing to the entrance of the welfare home building, then stopped, coughed twice, and said, "You go in. I guess they will be very excited when they see you come back. The cripple will have a good drink with you tonight."

Xiao Bing asked, "How did you know I can drink?"

The cripple smiled hoarsely and said, "You stole cripple's wine when you were a child. Did you quit the wine when you grew up?"

Xiao Bing smiled and said, "That's right."

"Okay, you go in. I'll go back to work and have another two drinks in the evening."

Xiao Bing agreed, took Xiao Mingyue's hand, pushed open the door on the first floor, and walked in.

After entering the first floor, I saw several children running around the hall, some of whom were still running up and down the corridor leading upstairs, and two children were sitting in wheelchairs, looking at their friends with envy.

Some of these children were lame, some were deaf, but a few were relatively healthy. When they saw Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue coming in, all of them stopped and stared at Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue one by one.

At this time, a woman's voice came from the upstairs and asked, "Why did you kids suddenly become so quiet!"

A footstep was heard from the upper floor. Xiao Bing looked up and saw a middle-aged beauty in her forties wearing a pink sweater walking down from above. It can be seen from the woman that when she was younger, she must be a beloved beauty. Even now, she has the charm that can attract any man, her appearance is of high quality, and her temperament is gentle and she also has the playfulness that a young girl should have.

After seeing Xiao Bing, the middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and said, "Sir, are you? Is there anything wrong with coming to our welfare home?"

Xiao Bing's lips trembled a little, and suddenly he saw his relatives who had been away for more than ten years. How could Xiao Bing not be excited?

Seeing Xiao Bing without saying a word, she just looked at her with excitement. The middle-aged beautiful woman frowned and she was a little puzzled. However, after she quickly looked at Xiao Bing up and down, she instantly widened her eyes, ran to Xiao Bing, grabbed Xiao Bing's clothes, and said excitedly: "Are you a Xiao Bing? Xiao Bing, are you back?"

"It's me, it's me, aunt, I miss you so much..." It turns out that this is the youngest among the seven sisters, and the most beautiful one. I remember that she only entered this welfare home when Xiao Bing was five years old, and she also worked voluntarily, purely because she loved the children here. She was only eighteen years old at that time, and when she was young, the children had a good relationship with her, especially Xiao Bing, who was particularly naughty, but she liked it the most.

She was the one who despised Xiao Bing the most back then. Even though Xiao Bing liked to fight, she always said that Taoboy was good and Taoboy had a future prospect. Every time her aunt severely punished Xiao Bing, this aunt was protecting Xiao Bing. So although she entered this welfare home when Xiao Bing was five years old, in Xiao Bing's heart, her status was no less than that of other aunts.

"You little brat!" The middle-aged beautiful woman actually punched Xiao Bing, almost cried, and then shouted loudly, "The little soldier is back, the little soldier is back."

Soon, from upstairs, behind the stairs, and aisle... several footsteps rushed over. Xiao Bing's eyes widened. He watched these relatives who had been thinking about day and night appear in front of him one by one. Second aunt, fifth aunt, sixth aunt, and the aunt in front of him, Xiao Bing's eyes turned red and tears finally couldn't stop falling.
