Chapter 94: Money Really Can Do Whatever It Wants

~9 min read 1,653 words

Possibly because Luo Jun had bad legs but insisted on not sitting in a wheelchair, his visit lasted for a full hour, and it wasn't until nearly 12:30 that Luo Jun finished inspecting the orphanage and set a donation amount.

Qin Huai didn't know exactly how much he donated, but looking at Director Qu's enthusiastic tea pouring, it should be quite a lot.

Everyone ate lunch together.

The orphanage's meal mode was the same as the primary school's meal mode. Several big buckets of dishes, each child held their own bowl and lined up to get dishes. There was no right or space to be picky, eat whatever there was, and the staple food was the baozi Qin Huai made.

The person who bought the vegetables clearly hadn't made baozi, bought a lot of meat, but it was too fat.

Under normal circumstances, baozi filling should use three-fat seven-thin pork front tip meat, two-fat eight-thin is also fine, if it exceeds three-fat, pure meat filling baozi will appear a bit greasy.

The pork belly bought by the orphanage's purchaser today was close to five-fat.

Fortunately, the orphanage's purchaser also bought a lot of Chinese cabbage, so Qin Huai directly made cabbage and pork filling baozi, and the green beans that were not used up in the noon cooking were also taken to make meat foam green bean baozi.

Time was limited at noon, and the baozi were not all wrapped. Qin Huai was afraid that the children in the orphanage would be hungry because they couldn't eat staple food, so he concentrated on wrapping a batch and steamed them first.

This led to the steamed baozi looking very uneven.

After all, these baozi were wrapped by Chen Huihong, wrapped by Qin Huai, wrapped by Qu Jing, and wrapped by other orphanage staff.

Except for the baozi wrapped by Qin Huai which were relatively standard and could be seen at a glance as baozi, the others were very free to play.

When wrapping baozi, Qin Huai completely believed Director Qu's words that the orphanage staff didn't know how to make pasta. They really didn't know, and it could be seen that they only knew how to wrap dumplings, because some staff habitually wrapped them into dumplings when wrapping the first few baozi.

Luo Jun looked at the baozi Qu Jing took for him with some disgust.

A plate of three baozi, one wrapped by Qin Huai, and two wrapped by someone unknown. One baozi, two pasta wrapped in meat filling.

As a gold master, Luo Jun received preferential treatment when eating. His table not only had a special small table, but the dishes were also served in small plates.

"Mr. Luo, if you are not used to eating, there are still dim sum brought by Master Xiao Qin this morning in the kitchen, shall I go and get you some dim sum?" Qu Jing saw Luo Jun's disgust.

"I'm not hungry." Luo Jun said lightly. "It's not time for me to eat lunch yet."

Qu Jing was stunned, and it was true. Luo Jun usually eats lunch at three or four in the afternoon. This time is indeed a bit early for him.

Luo Jun pointed to an unidentified object that looked like a tangyuan made of flour: "Who wrapped this baozi? It's not even as good as me."

As soon as this was said, the three were shocked and said in unison: "You can even wrap baozi."

"This is what you said, I can even wrap dumplings." Luo Jun took a light sip of tea. "However, the food in your orphanage is too shabby, 4 dishes and not even a bit of meat."

"Today is considered good food. Volunteers come on Sundays to help improve the food, cook a few more dishes. Usually, there are only two dishes, cabbage and shredded potatoes, plus a bowl of egg drop soup." Qu Jing said. "But that was the food when I was in high school. After so many years, it should have improved. I don't come on weekdays, so I don't know the specifics."

Qin Huai held the bowl, eating while looking at the staff who were feeding the children who looked like they were really not very smart, and asked: "Are there many disabled children in your orphanage?"

Qu Jing noticed the "also": "The orphanage where you grew up is also..."

Qin Huai nodded: "Healthy children are actually easier to be adopted. When I was a child, there were still normal and healthy children in the orphanage, but in the past few years, they are basically those with intellectual development problems or serious congenital diseases."

"I was adopted late. When I was a child, Director Qin thought I had ADHD. At that time, there was no concept of ADHD, so she said I was sick, and it became that I was a fool. So although I stayed in the orphanage since I was a child, no one adopted me until I was seven or eight years old." Qin Huai felt that telling the story of his childhood was the first step to making friends and getting closer.

This method was very effective, because Chen Huihong was interested.

"And then?" Chen Huihong asked.

Qin Huai thought Sister Hong, why are you curious, this sentence shouldn't be asked by Qu Jing.

"Later I was adopted by my parents. My parents' breakfast shop opened opposite the orphanage, and I grew up watching them, so they knew me well." Chen Huihong nodded and asked Qu Jing: "Eh, Yunzhong Xiaoqu, you have such good grades, didn't any couple want to adopt you when you were a child?"

Qin Huai:...

Sister Hong, if you really can't chat, don't chat.

Obviously, Qu Jing didn't care about Chen Huihong asking this at all. She said very calmly: "Director mother tried to help me find an adoptive family, but I was too inactive and a girl, so I never met a suitable one."

"Later, when I got older, I didn't want to be adopted, so I stayed in the orphanage."

"I have always felt that adoption requires fate, just like Master Xiao Qin and his parents, you and Huihui, I may have no fate in this regard."

Director Qu not far away had already started to break the baozi and mix it in the dishes, feeding it to the children one spoonful at a time.

"Director Qu is quite patient." Qin Huai sighed.

Qu Jing nodded with a smile: "Director Qu is a very good person. The first pair of gloves I had was knitted by her with wool. I remember it was purple. The director was worried that the color of the gloves was too ugly and I would be laughed at by classmates at school, so she specially made a bow with cloth strips and pasted it on the gloves, but it was even uglier."

"Doctor Qu, you have been so difficult since you were allergic to ultraviolet rays since you were a child." Qin Huai said. "You have to hide from the sun when going to and from school."

Qu Jing was stunned, paused, and nodded: "Yes, but my ultraviolet allergy was not as serious as it is now when I was a child. It was only after junior high school... Director mother knitted me a lot of gloves, so it didn't affect my life much."

"Now Director mother's level of knitting gloves and scarves is much better. Master Xiao Qin, do you need them? If you need them, I will ask Director mother to pick a few good-looking ones for you. She is knitting sweaters, scarves, and gloves every day now, and sometimes she will hang them on the Internet to sell."

Qin Huai waved his hands repeatedly: "I won't need them."

"I don't like things knitted with wool." Luo Jun said.

Chen Huihong was a bit interested: "Can it be customized? I want to order two pieces for Huihui."

"Of course, Director mother should be very happy to take your order."

The two are talking about business.

Qin Huai could only try his best to pull the topic back, looked at Luo Jun who had already started playing with his phone and completely forgot that today's theme was to make friends with Qu Jing, and said: "Mr. Luo, can I ask you how much you donated today?"

"Didn't donate a specific amount." Luo Jun didn't look up and said.

"Donated facilities?" Chen Huihong asked.

"No." Luo Jun was already playing games, still a shooting game. "I contracted all the medical expenses and tuition fees for all the children in the orphanage."

Everyone:!

Qu Jing was so surprised that her eyes widened. She didn't have many facial features exposed, so her eyes widening was particularly obvious: "There are a child with congenital heart disease, a child with severe cerebral palsy, two children with moderate cerebral palsy, one child with mild cerebral palsy, three children with hearing impairment, one child with visual impairment, and two children with infantile paralysis in the orphanage."

"Just now your director has already introduced it to me." Luo Jun played the game skillfully. "She wanted me to pick one or two to sponsor, it was too troublesome to pick, so I just sponsored them all."

Qin Huai gasped, feeling that pushing Director Qin's WeChat to Luo Jun was urgent.

"However, my money won't be spent in vain. I will come over regularly to check if the money has been spent in the right place. Yunzhong Xiaoqu and Xiao Qin, you two accompany me to check when the time comes. I check the accounts, and you two do your volunteering." Luo Jun arranged Qin Huai and Qu Jing clearly.

Qin Huai silently gave a thumbs up to Luo Jun in his heart. This is the real big thing in silence.

Money really can do whatever it wants.
