Chapter 37 The Meaning of Life
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Cao Kun changed the subject and asked.
"Is Dean An the only ones back like us? Are there any others? There are too few people, right?"
"A lot. Some people couldn't get through, so they sent money directly. And I didn't send messages to everyone. I only sent messages after knowing your current situation. In fact, many of your brothers and sisters are in a very bad situation. , are still struggling to survive, not to mention those brothers and sisters outside the city, their situation is even more difficult, and the orphanage still needs to subsidize some of them every year."
Zhao Anyuan explained with a sigh.
Hearing Zhao Anyuan's words, everyone present fell silent.
As the largest orphanage in Sky City, Shengyin Orphanage adopts a large number of abandoned infants and orphans every year.
Most of these adopted children have physical problems.
After they become adults, it is actually difficult to support themselves.
We must know that in reality, it is difficult for normal people to survive, let alone those with physical problems.
But according to the law of City of the Sky, after the age of 18, regardless of whether you can support yourself or not, you are not allowed to stay in the orphanage.
However, under Zhao Anyuan's struggle, the Shengyin Welfare Institute has a privilege that other welfare homes do not have.
That is the children of this orphanage, who have the opportunity to win the right to settle in the city of sky.
Of course the conditions are very harsh.
One of the rigid rules is that you must be admitted to a university.
As for Shen Qiu, the most outstanding of their group of children, not only was admitted to the best university in the City of Sunny Sky, St. Bury University, but also received a full scholarship.
"Okay, it's rare for you to come back, so be happy. By the way, do you remember something?"
Zhao Anyuan asked kindly.
"whats the matter?"
Huang Gin was slightly taken aback, unable to remember.
"It's the question I left you when you are about to leave the orphanage as adults, do you still remember what I said at that time?"
Zhao Anyuan reminded with a smile.
"Remember, the dean asked us, what is the meaning of our life? You asked us to give a clear answer the next time we return to the orphanage."
Cao Kun repeated the question for Zhao Anyuan.
"Well, now that you are back, let's talk about it!"
Zhao Anyuan looked at everyone kindly, like a mother looking at her own child.
Shen Qiu and the others glanced at each other and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Zhao Anyuan then turned her head to look at Huang Gin and said.
"Huang Gin, do you want to clear up that question?"
"I've thought it through a long time ago. I think the meaning of life is to pursue money. I want to make a lot of money. The more the better."
Huang Gin replied without hesitation.
Zhao Anyuan smiled and turned to look at Cao Kun and asked.
"And you."
Cao Kun pondered for a while and said: "I think it is rights, and this is my goal."
Zhao Anyuan looked at Zhao Lian.
"I think it's good to be plain."
Zhao Lian thought for a while and said.
Zhao Anyuan smiled and turned to look at a woman in a white shawl-style top and black skirt.
"How about you, Qiu Li?"
"I think the meaning of life is to have a warm harbor."
Qiu Li replied softly.
Standing aside, Cao Kun couldn't help but take another look at Qiu Li.
"Um!"
"Dean, I think happiness is the most important thing, and one should pursue happiness in life."
"I think the meaning of life is to witness more things."
The rest of the people also reported their own ideas.
After listening to everyone's words, Zhao Anyuan turned to look at Shen Qiu.
"What about you, Shen Qiu?"
Shen Qiu was slightly taken aback, then spoke immediately.
"Sorry! I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet."
Everyone laughed when they heard Shen Qiu's words.
Zhao Anyuan stretched out her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, she said to everyone.
"Actually, your ideas are all right and correct! Go after what you like and think it is meaningful, but remember one thing, don't lose your heart, then you will not be yourself."
"Understood, Dean."
Shen Qiu and others responded one after another.
Dean Zhao Anyuan nodded in satisfaction, and she continued to speak to Shen Qiu and the others.
"It's almost noon. Lunch has been prepared for you. You can make do with it. I'll go and deal with the money you donated. We'll catch up on the old days later. I look forward to you telling me about your life over the years."
"Um."
Shen Qiu and others nodded and replied.
At this time, a serious, unsmiling, old-fashioned middle-aged woman came over, she said to Shen Qiu and the others.
"Come with me."
"Aunt Qiao!"
When Qiu Li and the others saw the middle-aged woman, they excitedly stepped forward and took her hand.
Aunt Qiao couldn't help showing a smile on her stern face as she spoke.
"Don't be like a child, you've grown up."
"Uh-huh."
Looking at this scene, Shen Qiu also showed a rare smile. The image of everyone being chased and chased by Aunt Qiao when he was a child flashed through his mind.
After a while, Shen Qiu and others came to the cafeteria.
Dean Zhao Anyuan specially arranged a patchwork long table for them, which could accommodate all of them.
There are plates of hot dishes on the table.
Although they are all home-cooked dishes like chopped green onion tofu, stewed cabbage, and white steamed buns.
But even the richest Huang Gin didn't have any dissatisfaction, everyone said more.
"Aunt Qiao, it's too rich."
"Where is it rich? They are all ordinary dishes. You can eat as much as you can. Let's talk about the old days. I will go to greet the children first."
Aunt Qiao shook her head and said to everyone.
"Okay, Aunt Qiao, go get busy, let's greet ourselves."
Huang Gin and the others sat down with a smile.
Shen Qiu immediately found a seat and sat down.
Cao Kun took the lead to pick up the chopsticks and said with a smile.
"We're all brothers and sisters, so let's not talk about those polite words and just have dinner."
"good!"
Shen Qiu and the others took a steamed bun and ate it with vegetables.
At the dining table, everyone began to reminisce about the past while eating.
At this moment, Huang Gin smiled and chatted with Qiu Li.
"Qiu Li, I haven't heard from you for many years, what are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything, just take care of the children at home."
Qiu Li replied softly.
"Qiu Li, are you married? With whom? Could it be?"
Many sisters present looked at Cao Kun one after another. Unfortunately, when they saw Cao Kun's expression was a little gloomy, they immediately reacted and stopped speculating.
The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly a little awkward.
Looking at this scene, Shen Qiu sighed slightly in his heart.
In the past, he had a very good relationship with Huang Gin and Cao Kun, so he was very clear about the matter of Cao Kun and Qiu Li. He didn't expect that things were different, and the two of them still didn't get together.
"Ahem, let's not talk about that anymore. Having said that, the price increase recently is really outrageous."
A male companion laughed and changed the subject.
