Chapter 58

It's about two hours' drive from the high-speed railway station in the city center to Qingzhen. Although Qingzhen is located in a remote area, it belongs to a super first tier city, and there is no lack of necessary infrastructure. After five years of expansion and development, Qingzhen is no longer a small county. Lin Yiqi's impression of it is still five years ago, and now he can hardly recognize it.

Driving into Qingzhen, before she arrived at the orphanage, she could not help but wonder: "Qingzhen has changed a lot. Has the orphanage also changed?"

"Last year, Qingzhen suddenly started to develop tourism, and the orphanage was renovated. It should be different from when you left."

"How many children are there in the courtyard now?"

"Forty three."

"So much?"

Qiu song looked surprised and asked, "don't you keep in touch with the Dean all the time? It's not even clear. "

Lin Yiqi was a little ashamed: "I'm too busy studying. I usually only call the dean to report my safety. I seldom talk about this..."

"Oh! Here we are

Lin Yiqi eagerly looks out of the window. The rusty gate of the orphanage is painted with new paint, the walls of the four storey building are painted with children's fun, and the amusement facilities on the small playground are emerging. It looks warm and happy. The car is parked on the stone dam in front of the building. Wang Shuqin has been waiting there with the child.

With a smile, she quickly opened the door and got out of the car. She ran to hold Wang Shuqin and said, "Dean, I miss you so much!"

Wang Shuqin also laughed happily. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were a few lines more than when she left, but her voice was still so reassuring.

"The Dean wants you too! Come on, let me see. Is our little seven beautiful again? "

Wang Shuqin took her hand and looked at her face and body carefully. Her eyes were full of sadness: "child, how can you be so thin? When I left, I still had some flesh on my face, but now it's all bones. I'm tired of myself outside, right

Lin Yiqi is full of grievances, like being punctured. With tears gushing out, she is afraid of the president's worry, and she has to keep smiling. The two kinds of emotions are mixed together, and finally she can't laugh or cry.

"Dean, I'm not a skeleton, where are all bones!"

"Yes! The Dean lied. My sister is so beautiful. She is not a skeleton! " A little boy standing next to Lin Yiqi retorts with a mouthful.

"Poof! You see, the little guy can't watch it any more! " Lin Yiqi squatted down and pinched his little nose, boasting, "little guy, you know so much!"

"Well! I'm not a kid, I'm a man

"Wow! You are so powerful! How old are you, this man? What's your name? "

"The dean says my name is ah Chi, and I don't know how old I am, but the dean says I am four years old, so I am four years old!"

Ah Chi's childlike words remind Lin Yiqi of who he used to be. The children who came here didn't know their name and age. Everything was given by the Dean, including the love that should have been given by their parents.

Ah Chi found that Lin Yiqi's expression had changed. He quickly reached out to help her wipe the tears off her face and coaxed her like an adult: "sister, don't cry. I'm sorry, I said something wrong..."

Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Yiqi took his little hand and began to laugh again: "my sister is not crying, but happy to see ah Chi!"

Ah Chi looked at her with a smile instead of a smile. Qiu song stopped his car and came to remind them with two cases of luggage: "go in and have dinner. The children are hungry!"

The unresponsive Dean yelled at the children and said, "let's go, children, have dinner! Xiao Qi, come in as soon as possible! "

"Coming!" Lin Yiqi rubbed ah Chi's hair and said, "go with my sister!"

Ah Chi nodded cleverly and was led by her. He looked up at Lin Yiqi and blushed unconsciously. What Lin Yiqi doesn't know is that before she appears, ah Chi never wants to contact people.

After dinner, Lin Yiqi is busy helping Qiu song wash the dishes. The dean and two other slightly older women take the young child to wash, and the older child goes back to his room to study.

Lin Yiqi is wiping the table. Qiu song takes off her apron and goes to her and says, "there are not enough rooms in the courtyard. You can only sleep with me. Is there a problem?"

"I have no problem, but if you mind, I can shop in the classroom or rent a house in the town."

Qiu song gave her a blank look and said, "two beds, I don't mind. Come up after you wipe the table. It's on the fourth floor. I'll take your luggage up first. "

"Well! No, I'll do it myself

"You don't like to accept other people's help? Or do you hate me? Don't want to contact me? "

Qiu song's sudden question puts Lin Yiqi in a dilemma. She ponders for a moment and grins: "no! I'm just afraid of giving you trouble! You must be busy, aren't you? I'm afraid I'll hold you back! "

"Don't you know if the orphanage is busy?" Qiu song asked seriously.

Lin Yiqi's heart is already crazy. When she meets someone with such temperament as Qiu song, she really can't talk. Out of politeness, she can only accept: "then... Please!"

After watching qiusong carry the box upstairs, she sat down tired and lay on the table. When the footstep approached her, she didn't hear it at all. Until she was patted on the shoulder, she suddenly straightened up and looked back.

"Dean?"

"What are you doing here? Why don't you go back to your room? "

Wang Shuqin moved a stool to sit beside her. As soon as she sat down, Lin Yiqi swept her arm and tilted her head on her shoulder. Her clinging habit was the same as five years ago.

"It's so big and sticky!" Wang Shuqin said, touching her head.

"No matter how old the child is, he has to stick to his mother!"

"Ha ha ha!" Wang Shuqin smiles kindly, "what do you do with this old woman? Why don't you find a boyfriend to stick it on? "

Lin Yiqi chuckled and said, "it's boring. I don't want to find it."

"Well, you just don't like to accept others. Don't always be afraid of being hurt, try to open your heart to love! I'm old, and I have to take care of more than 40 children. I can't take care of you. I want to entrust you as soon as possible, so I don't have to worry about you! "

"Well! I've been sticking to you for more than ten years. Do you think you can get rid of me? It's not that easy! " Lin Yiqi pretended to be Shengqi.

"Xiao Qi, I heard... Your biological mother found you?"

Lin Yiqi slowly released her hand and asked, "how do you know, Dean?"

Wang Shuqin avoided her eyes, looked a little nervous and said in a steady voice: "a few days ago, a phone call came in to ask for your news. Later, a woman named Lin Xihua came to the orphanage to see your picture. She said you were her daughter..."

Lin Yiqi didn't know why the president's reaction was so strange. She pretended not to find out and said calmly, "yes, Lin Xihua is my mother. We also went to the hospital for identification."

"Xiao Qi, I'm so happy for you! Is your mother good to you? What's her family like now? "

Lin Yiqi reluctantly laughed and said, "she's very nice to me. She married a nice family and gave birth to a daughter."

"You're lying to me!" Wang Shuqin suddenly said, "if you live well in Danfeng, you won't come back. Are you in any trouble? Tell the Dean, the dean will help you find a way! "

Lin Yiqi wrapped Wang Shuqin's hand in his palm, counted the wrinkles on the back of her hand, and said the story of these years in a dragonfly like tone, skilfully skipping everything about Fang Shu. This experience is the last thing she wants Wang Shuqin to hear.

After listening to her, Wang Shuqin breathed a sigh of relief. She grew up around her. She knew what kind of temperament she was. Lin Yiqi suffered a lot from this when he was a child. What's more, he didn't know how much he suffered when he grew up alone.

Wang Shuqin asked with a sad face: "what are you going to do next? You are so young and capable. It's too humble to stay in Qingzhen! "

"Dean, I have two things to do when I come back this time."

"Well, you say!"

"I want to stay, stay in Hualan, big deal to find a job in the city, I don't want to go back to Danfeng!"

"Well, if you don't want to go back, you won't! What's the other thing? "

Lin Yi seven dun dun, brow deep lock, said recently the most troubled her.

"I want to find my father!"

Wang Shuqin was surprised: "doesn't your mother know about your father?"

Lin Yiqi shook her head depressed and said, "she doesn't want to mention her father to me. My mother said that my father abandoned us. She wanted to take me back to my hometown, but she was abducted at the railway station."

"Which railway station?"

"Danfeng north station."

Lin Yiqi held his face in both hands and then asked, "Dean, how did I come to the orphanage?"

Wang Shuqin looked up to the right and recalled, "I picked you up at the gate of the courtyard. It was about five or six o'clock in the morning. In summer, I got up early. When I was cleaning the courtyard, I heard your cry and brought you back."

"When you see me, can I talk?"

"When you came here, you were about three years old. You could speak. You still remember your name. But I took your name after my pronunciation, right?"

"Did I say the names of my parents?"

Wang Shuqin took a deep look at her and said, "No."

"That's strange..."

"When you were young, you only knew how to cry for mom and dad. Later, when you got familiar with me, you didn't cry or make any noise."

Lin Yiqi took out the necklace in her collar and asked her, "Dean, my mother said this necklace was left by my father. Do you think I can find him with this necklace? Is he looking for me, too? "

"With only one necklace, there is little hope. When you grew up here, you should know that almost all the people who came to look for their children with keepsakes left with disappointment. Your mother didn't tell you anything else? "

"Mom only said that dad is from Hualan, so I want to come back and have a look. I still want to talk to him face to face. He owes me and my mother... "

"Xiao Qi, sometimes you will be happier if you don't know the truth." Lin Yiqi is speechless. He rubs the necklace in his hand and feels lonely in his heart. In fact, what she wanted was not the truth. She just wanted to see him from a distance, just like she chose to leave as long as her mother was well. After so much experience, she just wants to have more contact with the world. She wants to find a reason to live and a person who can stand beside her forever. Maybe her father regrets it? Maybe he's waiting for her to redeem, too? She was willing to try. After all, it was blood.
