Chapter 266: Brother Bao Bao

~17 min read 3,296 words

Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong drove to pick up Qin Huai and Qin Luo.

Qin family breakfast shop's second-hand dilapidated van for stocking, the car door had been pulled off by Zhao Rong twice, the whole car looked dilapidated but very practical, and the air conditioning was good.

However, there was no need to blow the air conditioning with the current temperature in Qu County, the heating couldn't blow up, and there was no need for cold air.

Qin Luo finished the burger, put the suitcase on the van, jumped and sat in the back row, showing off, took out a big red envelope from her bag, and stuffed it to Zhao Rong in the passenger seat.

"Mom, look, I got a lot of red envelopes today, and I still have a lot left after paying back the money I owed Brother! There is also a check inside, I'm rich!"

Zhao Rong was shocked by the word check.

Stunned for two seconds, Zhao Rong took the red envelope, counted it roughly, and immediately had a plan.

"Did Luo Luo," Zhao Rong's tone became incomparably gentle. Qin Huai sat in the back row and didn't even need to see her expression to know that Qin Luo's red envelope was likely not guaranteed.

Qin Huai didn't say much either. Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen were not the kind of parents who would collect their child's red envelopes and tell her that this money would be saved for you in the future. Qin Luo's New Year money over the years, the pocket money given by grandparents, Zhao Rong and Qin Congwen never asked, and she could spend it however she wanted.

Anyway, in the end, it would most likely go into Qin Huai's pocket.

"So much money, what are your plans?" Zhao Rong asked.

Qin Luo said happily without noticing: "Give Dad 1/10, give Mom 1/10, deposit 10,000 yuan with Brother to eat dim sum, and spend all the rest!"

Zhao Rong calculated roughly in her heart, there was too much money left, and she induced: "What about grandparents? Grandparents give you so much pocket money on weekdays, don't grandparents have any?"

Qin Luo thought for a while: "Then Grandpa 1/10, Grandma 1/10."

Zhao Rong calculated again and found that there was still a lot left: "President Qin has also been very good to you over the years. When Mom and Dad couldn't take care of you when you were young, they sent you to the welfare academy to let President Qin help take care of you. The welfare academy has been in financial difficulty for so many years, doesn't President Qin have any?"

Qin Luo said refreshingly: "Then President Qin also 1/10."

Qin Huai, who was sitting on the side, instantly discovered the advantage of Qin Luo's poor math, her mental arithmetic level was not good, and it might also be that she didn't pass through her brain when she said it.

With this opening, half of the red envelope went out.

"But Did Luo Luo, is it enough to deposit 10,000 yuan with your brother? Your dad and I have heard that your brother's dim sum is very expensive now, you can't let your brother lose money making dim sum for you, right?"

Qin Luo was stunned, thought for a while, and was a bit tangled: "Then deposit 15,000 with Brother?"

Zhao Rong was satisfied, according to her estimation, this way the money that fell into Qin Luo's hands would be about two or three thousand, the child would eat and drink and then be cheated by her brother, and she wouldn't develop the habit of spending money lavishly.

"Then put this red envelope with Mom first, Mom will accompany you to the bank to exchange the check tomorrow morning, and prepare a few new red envelopes for you, you give red envelopes to Dad, Mom, and grandparents this New Year."

"Great!" Qin Luo was a bit excited when she thought she could give red envelopes this New Year.

Seeing that Zhao Rong had finished cheating, Qin Huai felt it was time to talk about business: "Dad, Mom, Did Luo Luo and I didn't know you came back from the countryside today. On the high-speed rail, I already agreed with President Qin to take Did Luo Luo to the welfare academy to see her tonight."

"I'll do some dim sum at the welfare academy by the way. I came back late this year, if I don't make dim sum today, the children in the welfare academy won't be able to eat it on New Year's Eve."

Hearing Qin Huai say this, Qin Congwen, who had been driving and silent, hurriedly echoed: "It should be going to the welfare academy. Your mother and I made some steamed buns and sent them to the welfare academy when we just came back. President Qin has been missing you."

"I'll send you and Did Luo Luo to the welfare academy after we go home and put things away. The stove at home can still be used, your mother and I will go borrow some noodles from next door and cook noodles to eat."

"Dad, Mom, you go to the welfare academy with us, I learned a new dim sum called Four-Joy Tangyuan that you haven't tasted yet. It just so happens that Dad, you can help me beat the meat, I can't make so many tangyuan alone," Qin Huai said.

Hearing that his son was seeking help from him and needed him to help beat the meat, Qin Congwen's heart felt warm, as warm as when he heard his daughter say she would give him 1/10 of the red envelope just now.

Sure enough, no matter how delicious the son's dim sum is and how expensive it sells, he still needs his father to help beat the meat!

"Okay!" Qin Congwen agreed with a full voice.

At 18:17, Qin Congwen's van slowly drove into Sanmalu residential area.

Neighbors:!

What Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong didn't know was that when they drove the van to the train station to pick up Qin Huai, they had already been witnessed by the neighbors in Sanmalu residential area. Then a rumor spread that Qin family breakfast shop would reopen on the morning of New Year's Eve, and Qin Huai would also return for a limited time.

This rumor was very outrageous, and there weren't many neighbors left in Qu County for the New Year, but everyone chose to believe it.

Whatever, anyway, if the rumor is false, at most it will be the same as before and not be able to eat steamed buns, believe a little bit.

Now—

At 18:18, the owner of 301, Unit 1, Building 3, took a precious photo of Qin Huai getting off the car.

Neighbors: My God, this outrageous rumor is actually true!

Two minutes later, the photo went viral in the nearby residential group, and Qin Huai also saw his photo in the residential group while replying to Ouyang's message.

Three minutes later, Qin Congwen received a call from a loyal customer of Qin family breakfast shop, asking if Qin family breakfast shop would open on time tomorrow morning, and they needed to arrange time to send a queuing representative from home downstairs at 5 o'clock.

Qin Huai:...

Just when Qin Congwen was confused and returned the call, Qin Huai asked with a smile: "Dad, whose call is it?"

"Grandpa Qiao," Qin Congwen said, "Old Qiao, where did you hear this rumor? I went to Shan City to sell breakfast with my son, Qin family breakfast shop closed long ago, this shop hasn't been rented out because no one rented it."

"I was planning to find an intermediary to rent the shop cheaply during the New Year. Besides, which breakfast shop doesn't open for more than half a year, and only stares at the New Year's Eve to open, there are very few breakfast shops in our Qu County that open on the morning of New Year's Eve."

Grandpa Qiao is the owner of 301, Unit 1, Building 3, and also a loyal customer of Qin family breakfast shop, having eaten the steamed buns made by Qin Congwen for eleven years.

Grandpa Qiao has the habit of morning running, eating breakfast twice every day, eating a steamed bun made by Qin Congwen before morning running to motivate himself, and eating a meal made by Qin Huai after finishing to reward himself, and only eating Qin Huai's when it rains, rain or shine.

With the relationship between Grandpa Qiao and the Qin family, he can indeed ask directly.

"Dad, tell everyone in the residential group. Qin family breakfast shop won't open tomorrow, but if everyone is free at 11 o'clock tonight, you can come to our house to get a bag of Four-Joy Tangyuan, just as a New Year gift I give to everyone," Qin Huai said.

Qin Congwen hurriedly shouted: "Old Qiao, did you hear that? Come to my house to get tangyuan at 11 o'clock tonight, no steamed buns, only tangyuan, my son makes everything delicious, you can rest assured! " "You help me count the number of people in the residential group. What? Your family has many people, give you two bags?" Qin Congwen looked at Qin Huai, and seeing Qin Huai nod, he said, "Okay, okay, give you two bags. Don't tell anyone, my Huaihuai just got off the high-speed rail, tired for a day and can't make too much, still have to go to the countryside tomorrow."

Qin Congwen hung up the phone.

At home, Zhao Rong and Qin Luo had already put away their luggage, Qin Huai and Qin Congwen stood outside the door and didn't go in at all, ready to go to Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy at any time.

At that time, someone might ask: didn't the previous text write it? Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy is next to Qin family breakfast shop, is it necessary to drive a van to go there with such a close distance?

That was before, when Qin Huai was in high school, Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy moved to the suburbs further away, and it took more than ten minutes to drive there. This distance is already considered very long in a small county.

Zhao Rong touched two bags of dried wood ear from home that she didn't know when she hoarded, brought them to President Qin together, and the whole family got on the van and set off.

After getting on the car, Qin Luo reacted belatedly: "Oh, the red envelope is not taken at home. I haven't counted how much money in total, and how much money to give President Qin."

"It's okay, wait for Mom to accompany you to the bank to exchange the check tomorrow, you give the money to Mom, let Mom transfer the money to your WeChat, you directly WeChat transfer to President Qin, President Qin receives money very fast," Qin Huai comforted.

As long as it is a regular donation, President Qin supports any payment method.

Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy, the welfare academy where Qin Huai grew up.

Before Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy moved, the welfare academy and Sanmalu residential area were as close as neighbors. At that time, the welfare academy management was not strict, and the children in the residential area and the children in the welfare academy played together. When Qin Congwen and his wife chose Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy according to the principle of proximity, Qin Huai was able to be adopted at the 'old age' of 10.

When Qin Huai was first adopted, he wasn't used to having a new home. Often, as soon as school ended, he would stop by the Fuli Academy on his way back, cadge a meal, and then be sent back by Director Qin. Later, whenever Qin Congwen and his wife had business and had to go to the countryside, they would simply let Qin Huai go back to the Fuli Academy to eat, tell Director Qin, and just send some food to the academy at the end of the month to make up for his rations.

However, this didn't happen again after Qin Huai went to high school.

It wasn't that Qin Congwen and his wife stopped going to the countryside after Qin Huai started high school; it was mainly because the orphanage moved to the suburbs the year Qin Huai was a freshman, and the road to the suburbs to cadge a meal was too far.

The address changed, but the name didn't change, causing many people to be very confused, where did Sanmalu come from in the suburbs.

When the car drove to the entrance of Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy, it was already completely dark.

In most film and television dramas, the welfare academy is either warm and beautiful, or dilapidated, either a warm film or a horror film. But the real Sanmalu Welfare Academy is just an ordinary dilapidated small three-story building with a courtyard, gray, don't know how many layers of putty on the wall fell off, the mottled cement wall shows its long history.

There are children's facilities donated by caring people in society a few years ago in the courtyard. Don't know if the lights are broken or simply to save electricity, the lights in the courtyard are not on. Qin Huai vaguely saw through the iron gate that the children's facilities seemed to have been replaced, which shows that the funds donated by Luo Jun and Qu Jing are indeed not finished, President Qin is rich enough to replace children's facilities.

"Beep beep." Qin Congwen pressed the horn.

Pressed a few times, finally attracting the attention of Grandpa Qin who was watching the door.

Grandpa Qin has been hard of hearing for more than ten years, and it has become more and more serious in the past two years. He has to rely on roaring to speak, and he is all slacking off when watching the door, either brushing his phone or sleeping. If it weren't for Grandpa Qin being President Qin's cousin, Qin Huai felt that Grandpa Qin couldn't defeat other grandpas with good hearing to get this security job with a monthly salary of 3k without establishment.

Other grandpas might also slack off, but at least people are not hard of hearing!

Grandpa Qin recognized Qin family's van and walked slowly to the door, squinting his old eyes to find the key, and opened the door with his hand trembling slightly.

There are no parking spaces in the welfare academy, just drive in and find an empty space to park. After parking, Qin Huai and others got off the car. When getting off, the lights in the courtyard were already on, and it could be seen that the amusement facilities were indeed newly bought, brand new, definitely not second-hand bought cheaply.

Seeing Qin Huai arrive, Old Man Qin smiled as he closed the door first, then leaned in: "Huaihuai, you finally made it. These past few days, the children at the Fuli Academy have been surrounding me every day asking why Brother Bao Bao hasn't come yet. Those who know will think they miss you; those who don't might think they're complaining about the noodles I cook."

"Grandpa didn't eat dinner at night, just waiting for you to come over and make that what, four what group."

"Four-Joy Tangyuan," Qin Huai said loudly.

"Right, Four-Joy Tangyuan. Everything is ready, according to what you sent on WeChat, the meat filling and so on are all minced."

Hearing Grandpa Qin say this, Qin Huai nodded reassuringly.

Making Four-Joy Tangyuan itself is not troublesome, and the difficulty of preparing materials is not high. Bean paste filling and sesame sugar filling can't be made on the spot, can only go buy ready-made finished products, the difficulty of preparing materials for mixed-fruit filling is to chop the candied fruits and nuts.

The difficulty of preparing meat filling is relatively large, need to mince carefully. The staff in the welfare academy are all professional meat mincers (Qin Huai often came over to make steamed buns before), and the business ability Qin Huai knows very well, and it is also trustworthy.

Qin Huai smiled and said: "Grandpa Qin, does the welfare academy still need you to cook noodles? Is there no chef yet?"

Before Qin Huai inherited the inheritance, the welfare academy was temporarily without a chef.

Sanmalu Children's Welfare Academy is a public institution, and chefs all have establishment. The previous chef rented the bank card to the overseas fraud group, was suspected of fraud and was fired, and the new chef has not yet fallen. Now the three meals a day of the welfare academy are responsible by President Qin, Grandpa Qin, and several social workers in turn. Because the cooking skills are really not good, President Qin also ordered thousands of vegetable steamed buns from Qin Huai, letting the children eat a few more meals of steamed buns to tide over the difficulties.

But no matter how good the vegetable steamed buns are, they can't be eaten every day. Most of the time, Grandpa Qin is a part-time chef, cooking noodles for the children and stir-frying some vegetables.

Grandpa Qin is also very willing, part-time chef can also occasionally steal half a bucket of oil home, looking at the face of being a cousin, President Qin will turn a blind eye most of the time—

Grandpa Qin lives in the countryside, President Qin will secretly record how much oil Grandpa Qin stole home, and then go to Grandpa Qin's vegetable field to pull vegetables.

"No, our welfare academy has that little salary a month, who is willing to come," Grandpa Qin waved his hand, "Grandpa's cooking skills are very good now, can stir-fry meat dishes, don't need a chef."

"Forget it, you still have the nerve to say, the dishes stir-fried at noon today were salty, otherwise the children wouldn't cry and shout asking why Brother Bao Bao hasn't come yet this afternoon, is it because he doesn't want them anymore, is there no steamed bun this New Year," President Qin's person hasn't arrived, the voice arrives first.

Looking in the direction of the voice, President Qin, who put on a coat, the coat has some wrinkles, obviously just finished holding the child, smiled and walked towards Qin Huai and others.

"Why chat in the courtyard? Go to the kitchen, why, Huaihuai hasn't returned to the welfare academy for a long time, don't even remember where the kitchen is?" President Qin laughed.

"This isn't because I haven't seen Grandpa Qin for a long time, want to chat with Grandpa," Qin Huai laughed.

President Qin looked at Qin Luo: "Did Luo Luo has grown taller again, already in high school. This time has passed so many years, I remember when your parents sent you to the welfare academy when you were young and asked me to help take care of you, you were still a little one."

Qin Luo smiled embarrassedly.

"Let's go, go to the kitchen and chat again," President Qin led the way in front, "One of the lights in this courtyard is broken and hasn't had time to change the bulb, it's a bit dark in front, there is a step, you guys be careful."

"The children can't hold on, they have already eaten dinner. Huaihuai, don't have pressure when you make that what, four what group. You have been sitting in the car for a day, tired, just make some so the children have something to eat tomorrow."

"It's really too noisy, day after day, I can hear someone shouting Brother Bao Bao in their dreams when I sleep at night."
