Chapter 232
Lin Le looked around and looked at An Miaoxi in confusion: "Where is Grandpa Lu? Isn't he in the orphanage?"
"Brother Lin Xun, Grandpa Lu is cooking in the back!" Qiqi pointed to the back of the flat building.
Looking at the four fingers on Qiqi's hand, Lin Le felt uncomfortable.
Even if the current medical level is high, it cannot repair his congenital disability.
"The kitchen is in the back. Mr. An is well prepared. There are special people who cook for the children every day, but Grandpa Lu always goes to help. He always says that he is useless, but he can still help the children cook." Xiaochen on the side pushed his glasses and said.
"Brother brought you gifts today. I don't know if you like it."
Lin Le handed the big gift box in his hand to everyone.
"Brother Lin Xun, what is this gift?"
"Such a big box, there should be a lot of candies in it, right?"
"If I had to guess, it must be a toy car!"
"No, no, it must be beautiful clothes for us!"
"..."
The little radish heads were chattering.
"Let's go inside."
Lin Le walked into the house with the gift box, and then put the cake on the table.
They immediately surrounded him, their eyes full of expectation.
"These children like gifts the most, but it's a pity that the gifts I prepared for them..." An Miaoxi felt uncomfortable again when she thought of this.
"Okay, you guys, be careful not to damage the gifts. You all make them, and I'll take them apart!"
Xiao Qiang still acted as their big brother as before. After comforting them to the seats next to the table, he began to take off the ribbons on the gifts.
Soon a square transparent plastic cover appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow! What a big cake!"
"I've never seen such a big cake! It looks delicious!"
"Thank you for the gift, Brother Lin Xun!"
The cake looks very tempting.
The white cream is as delicate as snowflakes, dotted with fresh fruits, beautiful strawberries, round grapes, and refreshing mangoes.
The edges are exquisitely decorated with icing lace, elegant and charming. There is a small chocolate castle on the top, surrounded by colorful candy flowers.
Even through the transparent plastic cover, you can still feel the sweetness of this cake.
There are also several plastic bags next to it, which contain knives and forks, plates for cakes, and some candles.
"Brother Lin Xun, can we eat it now? It looks delicious!"
Looking at this exquisite big cake, Xiao Nuomi swallowed his saliva, and the candy in his hand felt instantly not fragrant.
"Nuomi, if you have something delicious, you should share it with Grandpa Lu!" Xiaoqiang said.
"I'll call Grandpa Lu over!"
"I'll go too!"
Tiantian and Xingxing were very excited and ran out of the classroom in a hurry.
Soon, a slightly hunched figure appeared at the door, holding Tiantian and Xingxing's hands.
Grandpa Lu's hair is now completely gray, his face is full of deep wrinkles, and he is wearing two white sleeves on his hands.
"You two, why are you pulling me over here? I'm cooking. The two guys asked them not to put chili in the dishes, but they still put a lot..."
Before he finished speaking, Grandpa Lu looked up and saw Lin Le and a group of people standing in front of a big cake looking at him.
"Lin... Lin Xun?"
"You... You didn't..."
"I'm sorry, Grandpa Lu, I've been away for so long and made you worry." Lin Le showed a bright smile on his face.
He looked at Grandpa Lu quietly, his face full of deep wrinkles, every wrinkle seemed to be telling a story from the past.
Looking at Grandpa Lu's face, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of shame.
Grandpa Lu lived a lonely life, and fate never gave him his own children, leaving him to walk alone for a long time.
However, he had great love in his heart and treated these children as his closest relatives. For so many years, he has been silently giving without complaint.
From the first ray of sunshine in the morning to the stars at night, he has always been with the children, giving them meticulous care.
This has been a long time, and the long time has witnessed his selflessness and dedication.
If it weren't for Grandpa Lu's kindness in adopting them, I'm afraid these children might have starved to death in a corner where no one cares.
Grandpa Lu looked at Lin Le deeply, his eyes full of complex emotions, with relief, expectation, and a little imperceptible worry.
Then, he trembledHe stretched out his wrinkled hand, which was like a dry branch, but with endless warmth. He held Lin Le's hand tightly, as if conveying a kind of trust.
"Okay..."
"Okay, it's good to be back..."
He put his hand on Lin Le's hand and patted it, his eyes full of complex emotions.
"These children have missed you so much these days. They ask me where Brother Lin Xun has gone every day. I have never been able to give them an explanation. Fortunately, you are back..."
"Lin Xun, you have made a lot of good friends. During the time you were away, many of your friends came to help these children. But now the orphanage is not short of money. Mr. An has helped us a lot. The children's food, accommodation and study have been arranged by Mr. An." Grandpa Lu looked at An Miaoxi.
"Grandpa Lu, do you mean there are other friends of mine?" Lin Le asked.
"Your former colleagues at Xingyao Company and Tianyiyun Company, that's what they said." An Miaoxi nodded slightly, and he explained for Grandpa Lu.
"I didn't know who they were at first, but Yan Ruoli told me that one of them was Wang Yanli, the director of Tianyiyun Company, and there were many people from Xingyao Company who came here, but I can't remember their names."
"And Deng Hui and Lu Manman also came here..."
Lin Le nodded. Xingyao Company should be Sister Zhao and her friends. What he didn't expect was that Wang Yanli had also been here.
When he held the charity event, he mentioned something about the orphanage to Wang Yanli. He didn't expect that he was quite interested. He must have been to Xingyue Village to have a look.
"By the way, there is something."
Suddenly, Grandpa Lu seemed to have thought of something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
But he looked around again and smiled: "Forget it, I'll tell you later."
"Brother, when can we eat cake?" Little Nuomi pulled the corner of Lin Le's clothes.
Lin Le smiled, squatted down and scratched her nose: "Why, you little glutton, are you hungry now?"
Little Nuomi nodded.
"No! You can only eat dessert after lunch, otherwise you won't be able to eat later!" An Miaoxi's tone was a little tough.
The children frowned immediately after hearing this.
"Ah, Sister Miaoxi, just let us eat a little, just a little."
"That's right, we promise that it won't affect the meal later!"
Seeing this, the children walked to An Miaoxi's side again and pulled her clothes, looking very cute.
"No! Let's talk about it after dinner." An Miaoxi still shook her head.
Then they looked at Lin Le and Grandpa Lu again: "Brother Lin Xun, Grandpa Lu, please help us talk."
Grandpa Lu touched Xiao Nuomi's head: "Haha, Grandpa can't do anything, you have to listen to your sister, and it's the same if you finish your meal and eat the cake later."
