I met my whole family through Baidu Tieba.
Section 4: May President Zhou live forever!
This Bentley Arnage has a chauffeur.
The driver got out of the car and helped Shen Kang put the old bicycle into the Bentley's trunk, but unfortunately the trunk was too small and the bicycle couldn't fit.
In the end, Shen Kang gave up.
Afterwards, he exchanged a few words with Xiao Bonian, who got out of the Accord in front of him, and then together with the driver, he lifted the rusty old car behind the Accord, opened the trunk, and stuffed it inside.
Although the trunk couldn't be closed, at least we could still stuff it in and take it with us.
"They all have the surname Ya, but Accord is more practical."
Shen Kang sighed.
He then thanked Xiao Bonian, who was standing to the side, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, you've really gone to a lot of trouble."
Xiao Bonian didn't take it seriously, saying, "It's a small matter. I can tell this car is very important to you, so we can't just leave it here. It wouldn't be good if someone stole it."
As she spoke, she added with a sigh, "I used to have a car like that, but I didn't cherish it back then and I don't know where I threw it away. Now I can't find it again."
Shen Kang found Xiao Bonian even more agreeable: It's true what they say, only men understand men. This Mr. Xiao is a good person too.
Zhou Man stood to the side watching, a smile playing on her lips.
She didn't quite understand the inexplicable mutual appreciation between the two men, but the scene was rather interesting, something that had never happened in her life before. In particular, the two men didn't seem greedy for the wealth she unintentionally revealed, which eased her worries a little.
...Well, okay, Xiao Bonian didn't seem to react much to the wealth she displayed, but the little one was still very interested in money, as evidenced by the fact that he "stood up to stretch his body and then sat down again." However, the little guy seemed to know his limits, only taking what he was entitled to, which was good.
After taking care of Shen Kang's precious belongings, everyone got into the cars. The two cars started and headed towards the Yangcheng Third Welfare Home.
Zou Jiajia, who was watching from a distance, was both shocked and confused: Wasn't Shen Kang an orphan? What was his relationship with these people?
"Do you know that guy?" Gao Ran seemed to have figured something out and asked casually.
Zou Jiajia hesitated for a moment, then asked in return, "I thought you knew them."
She didn't know what she was thinking or why she wouldn't admit it.
Gao Ran shook his head. "I don't know them either, but judging from their appearance, they might be relatives from He Qiuzhu's hometown. Tsk tsk, He Qiuzhu's family is quite nice. Her father is so handsome, her mother is so beautiful, and most importantly, they are so easygoing. If I had a Bentley, and someone stuffed a bicycle like that into my trunk like a treasure, I would feel heartbroken just thinking about it..."
Zou Jiajia felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Relatives! Yes, Shen Kang is an orphan, but that doesn't stop him from having relatives! And it seems that these relatives treat him quite well!
So, does this mean Shen Kang is about to make it big?
For some reason, Zou Jiajia felt a strange flutter in her heart, as if she had discovered a gem, while the others only saw the mud covering it and had not discovered the gem underneath.
……
The car was driving on the street.
Shen Kang sat in the passenger seat of the Accord, his eyes closed in deep thought.
He felt that the name "He Qiuzhu" sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before. He just hadn't had time to think about it before, but now that he had some free time, he could recall it carefully.
After thinking hard for a while, he finally remembered where he had heard the name before.
At university.
He'd heard the name from his roommates; they'd heard she was exceptionally beautiful. Twice, his roommates had even gone to see her in person—it was quite extravagant.
However, Shen Kang was very busy at the time, either attending classes or working part-time, and had no time to go with them to see the girl who was said to be particularly beautiful.
"So they went to the same university...it seems her grades weren't very good."
Shen Kang opened his eyes.
He attended Yangcheng University of Science and Technology, a second-tier university.
He wasn't a so-called genius. It was already quite an achievement for him to become the first college student in the history of Yangcheng Third Welfare Institute. He really couldn't have scored any higher.
Rebirth might offer hope, but unfortunately, he was reborn right after the college entrance exam, so there was no chance; he would still only have that many college entrance exam points in this life.
Based on his college entrance examination score, Yangcheng University of Science and Technology is a good choice, so he doesn't plan to change it and will go to Yangcheng University of Science and Technology for the rest of his life.
However, he could change his major. The public administration he studied in his previous life was such a terrible major that it caused him a lot of suffering. He was determined to change it in this life! Let whoever wants to choose that lousy major choose it; he wasn't going to choose it again.
With these thoughts in mind, the car soon arrived at the Third Welfare Home.
Shen Kang took the old-fashioned bicycle out of the trunk, pushed it inside, and as soon as he entered, several children from the yard rushed over in an irregular fashion.
"Shen Kang! Xiao Yuan hit me!"
"No, no, no, it was him who insulted me."
"Shen Kang, can I ride your bike for a bit?"
The children ranged in age from a little over ten to six or seven. Some walked with a limp and crooked head, while others, lacking strength in their legs, clung to an iron frame and shuffled along the ground. Some had uneven eyes and couldn't speak clearly, but all of them were smiling happily.
Simply put, there are many deformed and disabled children here.
This is why many volunteers don't dare to come back after just one visit; they feel it's too tragic, like entering a tragic world, and the psychological pressure is too great.
However, Shen Kang, who grew up here, had long been used to it and ignored the sadness of the people, only seeing the beautiful side of it.
It's not that I'm strong, it's that I have no choice. Otherwise, if I'm sad every day, how can I live my life?
"Grandma, Xiao Yuan, are you asking for trouble? You hit Xiao Wang again! Xiao Qing, you can barely walk properly, and you want to ride a bike? Wait a minute, I'll carry you while you ride..."
Shen Kang parked his bicycle to the side and greeted the little ones familiarly, sometimes pretending to be angry and sometimes laughing out loud.
Xiao Bonian watched this scene from behind in silence.
Zhou Man's chest heaved slightly; she dared not look any longer. She took a few deep breaths, and once Shen Kang had escaped from the group of children, she asked, "Are all the children in your orphanage... like this?"
Shen Kang tossed a ball out, which a child chased after, before turning around and smiling, saying, "Yes, it's true these past few years, but not in earlier years."
"Years ago, when I was young, there were many healthy children. Back then, everyone's living conditions were poor, and it was difficult enough for them to make a living. Where would they find the extra money to adopt a child?"
Things are different these past few years.
"Now that the country's economy is developing rapidly and people's living conditions are getting better and better, some healthy children are adopted at a very young age, leaving them unwanted and being cared for by the state."
"If I had been born at this time, I would have been taken away long ago, haha, I wasn't born in a good time."
Zhou Man listened silently, looking at Shen Kang's bright smile, not knowing what to say, only feeling a tightness in her chest. After thinking for a moment, she beckoned the female assistant behind her over.
Nie Jingjing didn't come to the orphanage with them. This female assistant came with them when they got in the car; she looked like a secretary.
"Make a note of it. Donate... one million to this welfare home. Remember to remind me," Zhou Man instructed.
The female assistant nodded. "Yes, Mr. Zhou."
Shen Kang looked at Zhou Man, his smile widening even more. "President Zhou, you're such a good person! Thank you so much for your generosity. On behalf of everyone, I thank you in advance. May President Zhou live forever!"
This was the first time Zhou Man had heard such an abstract blessing as "never to die," and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her originally upset mood improved a bit.
Xiao Bonian, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up: "I'll donate 100,000 too."
Shen Kang was taken aback, then advised, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, but the most important thing in this kind of thing is the sentiment. I think donating ten or twenty thousand is about right, otherwise I'm afraid you'll steal President Zhou's thunder, haha."
From the car Xiao Bonian was driving and other details, he could tell that Professor Xiao was not as wealthy and powerful as Zhou Man, and he was afraid that Xiao Bonian's impulsiveness would affect his life.
Xiao Bonian shook his head. "I don't usually have many expenses, and saving money is pointless. Using it here will give it more value. I've calculated this figure carefully, so you don't need to persuade me anymore."
Shen Kang looked at Xiao Bonian and saw that he was indeed determined, so he didn't try to persuade him any further.
Of course, everyone came today to discuss Shen Kang's adoption. After showing their love and care, Shen Kang called people out and led Xiao Bonian and Zhou Man to see the dean.
Shen Kang himself did not go there for the time being, but looked to the left front.
Beside the flower bed, He Qiuzhu was squatting there, talking to a little girl.
The little girl was less than 1.4 meters tall, with a pretty face, but her expression was somewhat blank.
"Hello," He Qiuzhu greeted her cautiously.
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then gave a silly smile and said, "Hello."
He Qiuzhu's lips curled into a smile. "My name is He Qiuzhu, little sister, what's your name?"
The little girl bit her right fist, then suddenly removed it, looking behind He Qiuzhu, "Shen Kang!"
"You're also called Shen Kang?" He Qiuzhu was taken aback, her brows furrowing in distress, as if she couldn't understand why a girl would be called Shen Kang.
Then a voice came from beside her.
"She's calling me."
Shen Kang squatted down beside her without turning his head and answered to himself, "Her name is Li Mei, Li as in 'wood' and Mei as in 'eyebrow'. She's 23 years old this year, so you have to call her 'older sister,' not 'little sister.'"
He Qiuzhu's eyelashes trembled, and she looked at Li Mei again, seemingly surprised. She hadn't expected the other party to be an older sister, but she didn't question it.
This surprised Shen Kang, who turned to look at her. "You don't suspect I'm lying to you?"
"No." He Qiuzhu obediently shook her head.
"Do you believe she's 23?"
"I believe you." He Qiuzhu nodded obediently.
Why?
"You said it."
"..."
Shen Kang sighed and rubbed his forehead. "How come you're even more clueless than her? You're being sold out and you're still helping her count the money."
He then ignored He Qiuzhu and waved to Li Mei, saying lazily, "Long time no see, Li Mei, you've become even more beautiful."
Li Mei looked at Shen Kang with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, "Shen Kang, we just met yesterday, it hasn't been long."
Shen Kang didn't take it seriously. "A day is a long time, okay? A whole day! 24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86400 seconds! That's a really, really long time!..."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Mei with a cheerful smile, as if he were seeing an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.
It has indeed been a long time. In the year he was reborn, Li Mei had been dead for eight years, dying in 2017 when she was 32 years old.
Li Mei's illness was incurable, and at 32 years old, she could be considered to have died a natural death.
