Chapter 296 Thank you

There was a convenience store not far from the orphanage. It took less than half an hour for them to go back and forth, but Jiang Sheng had already left, leaving only ghostly notes.

Seeing a pile of messy handwriting, the boy put the snack bag on the table: "Do you understand?"

"..."

Red Riding Hood twitched the corners of his mouth, and reluctantly said, "It looks like that younger sister doesn't even go to elementary school, so it's pretty good that she knows how to use pinyin, huh?"

What a mess of writing!
"Is this yes... oh... why don't you thank... thank you?" Red Hood had to give up after opening his eyes and carefully discerning for a while.

He said "嗐": "Let's go."

Another boy pointed to the snack bag and signaled Red Hood to look here.

Red Riding Hood was also a little frustrated: "...Come on, let's throw this away, the orphanage won't starve her."

It was rare for me to be so enthusiastic and kind, but the other party turned out to be a weird child.

The boy got this answer, thought for a while and said, "I'll try to find her, you go first."

Just now they met the teacher who led the team on the road, saying that there is still a shortage of people doing handicrafts, and told them to go there immediately,
"Alright, then I'll go first, don't forget to gather at five o'clock."

He left the classroom with Red Hood and parted ways at a fork in the road.The boy held the white bag in one hand, and the note with the ghostly talisman in the other. He carefully identified the pattern of the striped hat on the note, and felt a little familiar.

The orphanage consisted of only one building and two bungalows, but the area was quite large, with all kinds of dilapidated pavilions and low walls. It was really not easy to find people.

At this time, half of the children were doing crafts in the cafeteria, and half were playing games on the playground. He went to see them all, and there was no sign of the little girl.

After wandering around for a while, he still couldn't see anyone. He was about to find someone to ask her where she lived, and when he put the snacks directly on her bed, he glanced at the hat on the note again.

Stripes, six-pointed stars, protruding hat brims...

He remembered.

When I first entered the orphanage, there was a small security booth at the door, and the same hat was placed on the table!

The young man suddenly felt a little complacent, the corners of his lips curled up, the arc was hardly noticeable.

He was a little excited to prove his idea, and when he found Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng was watching Uncle Chen weigh the old bottle by the security booth.

"Fifty cents a catty, three catties and eight taels here, one yuan and nine—"

Uncle Chen took out two coins and gave them to her.

Jiang Sheng shook his head: "There are too many."

Uncle Chen waved his hand: "If you give it to you, take it away, don't pick this up again in the future."

Jiang Sheng refused, took out a small wallet from his pocket, carefully took out a dime and handed it to Uncle Chen.

Uncle Chen: ...

He sighed.

Recycling is his sideline business. Once he passed by the door with a tricycle full of recyclables, this girl saw her, and within half a month came over with two bags of old bottles: "I also sell."

The two bags looked bigger than Jiang Sheng, and Uncle Chen was stunned: "...you kid, where did you get so many bottles?"

It was definitely not picked up in the orphanage. There is no canteen in the courtyard, and the cafeteria does not sell drinks.

Jiang Sheng didn't answer, just pursed his lips.

Uncle Chen did the same thing at that time. He sighed, weighed the bottle for her, and gave her 20 yuan.

Jiang Sheng held the 20 yuan note, thought for a long time and then shook his head: "That's not right."

Although she didn't count, she shouldn't have so much money.

Chen Bosai said to her, "Take it."

However, Jiang Sheng still insisted on asking clearly, and only then did she realize that the bag she picked up was only two catties, and could only be exchanged for one yuan.

Chen Bo couldn't resist her, so he changed the 20 yuan into a one-yuan coin.

Unexpectedly, this girl brought a big bag over today, and put it in an extremely long bag, standing upright, it was really taller than her.

This time Chen Bo pointed out his warning and threatened her: "Don't go out to pick up bottles again, or I'll tell your dean."

There are not so many bottles in the orphanage. Although I don’t know how Jiang Sheng got out, Chen Bo is sure——Jiang Sheng definitely went out.

In case something happens, he cannot be held responsible.

Jiang Sheng's emotions immediately dropped when he heard the words, lowered his eyes, and Uncle Chen's heart softened when he saw it: "There are food and clothing here, what do you want money for, a kid?"

"If you want something, uncle will give it to you, don't run out by yourself."

Jiang Sheng shook his head again, tiptoed to put a dime on the window sill of the security house, and then said softly, "Thank you."

She can't come here to trouble Uncle Security again.

I have to find other ways to make money.

Through the glass covered with a thin layer of gray, Jiang Sheng saw someone behind him.

It was the big brother I met just now, with a white plastic bag in his hand.

"Student, are you looking for your teacher?" Chen Bo also noticed him, pointing to the right, "You have to go to the teaching building, this is the gate."

The young man said softly, "No, I'm looking for her."

Uncle Chen was at a loss for a moment, and then thought that maybe the principal or a certain teacher sent someone to come to find the single child, so he urged Jiang Sheng to go over: "Then go, don't pick up these random things anymore."

Jiang Sheng carefully put the two dollars into a coin purse made of old clothes, and then walked over slowly, looking up at the person who was much taller than him.

The young man squatted down and looked at her at the same level, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry, like the gentle wind: "I found you by following the note."

"Where are you going now, I'll bring these snacks together."

Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment: "Do you have to give it to me?"

The young man laughed, thinking that her question was very interesting, and suddenly wanted to tease her: "Not necessarily, you come home with me, and I will do as you wish."

Jiang Sheng looked at him motionless.

They are obviously a pair of very clear eyes, black and white are distinct, the eye shape is very beautiful, and the eyelashes are very long, but when looking at people like this, it looks a little scary because of the excessive blackness of the eyes, like a deep ancient well.

The boy sensitively sensed that the little girl's emotions were not right. Although he didn't know where he asked the wrong question, he changed the subject gently: "If you don't want to, just accept them. This is the brother wearing the red hat. I bought it for you."

"...I'm going to the dormitory."

The young man understood her implication almost immediately: "Okay, then I'll take you to the dormitory."

The so-called dormitory is a very long bunk room. Jiang Sheng found his bed and lifted the mattress.A narrow space propped up by wooden planks appeared underneath, where a pack of flattened buns and a blue cloth bag washed whitish were placed.

Thinking of his own childhood experience, the boy was reluctant to admit that he knew the purpose of this space.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he only tried to lower his voice as much as possible and asked, "Put it here?"

"Yes."

After laying out the packs of snacks and stuffing them under the bed, there are still many packs in the bag that cannot fit.

Seeing him looking around, Jiang Sheng whispered, "It's okay."

If you can keep these under the bed, it will be good.

Looking at the little girl, the boy's eyes softened, and he sighed inwardly.

He raised his hand to rub her head, moved his forearm, but in the end he just tied the plastic bag with a bow, and handed it to her: "Is that for you?"

Jiang Sheng solemnly put the bag beside the bed.

"I'm leaving."

Jiang Sheng watched off.

When the boy walked to the door, he only heard a sentence from behind:

"elder brother."

He turned back.

"thank you all."

Some dull tone can't hide the tenderness and crispness of the tone.

The joy of pity rose in vain: "No thanks."

Before turning around to leave, he added with a smile: "The drawing of the hat is very cute."

Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and finally there was a little joy in his eyes, which made his eyes look like crooked moons.

This seemed to be the first time someone praised her.
