Chapter 99: I'm Full of Food
When the group arrived at the Red Star Orphanage, many children couldn't help but shyly lean over to look at a group of strangers.
"Sister Zijin!"
Some children recognized Yun Zijin and ran happily towards her like little cannonballs.
Because there was no malicious intent, the zero and one people did not try to stop it.
"Little star! Long time no see!"
Yun Zijin squatted down, held the child in her arms, and spoke to her gently.
Xiao Xingxing was still a 3-year-old child who could not speak fluently. The conditions in the orphanage were not very good, so her baby fat was not obvious.
However, their faces and clothes are very clean and tidy, and the orphanage staff take good care of the children.
"Sister Zijin, I haven't seen you for a long time. It's been dark and dawn many times. Where did you go this time? Why didn't you come back to see us?"
Little Xingxing looked at Yun Zijin with innocent, big eyes, which made people want to give her all the best in the world.
How can there be such a cute child in this world?
"Sister will make money to build a big house for Xiao Xingxing and everyone. You can have your little room!"
Because the orphanage is small and so many children, most live in one room.
The smaller one can accommodate more people, and the larger one also has bunk beds, two of which can sleep four people. The conditions are not much better than those in school dormitories.
"Really? Can I have my room, too?"
When she heard that she could go to her room, Xiao Xingxing's eyes seemed filled with stars, sparkling brightly, which made Yun Zijin melt at her cuteness.
"Of course! But it takes a very long time to build a big house. Maybe you need to wait patiently, little star~."
At this moment, Yun Zijin exudes a maternal glow, and people can feel her warmth.
"Okay, your sister Zijin just returned and hasn't eaten yet. Play by yourself. Sister Zijin still needs to eat; otherwise, she will be hungry."
Seeing that Xiao Xingxing was still trying to talk to Yun Zijin, Liao Zhuxiu quickly spoke up to stop her.
If she continued asking questions, they wouldn't have to eat.
It is already past 12 o'clock, and most of the children in the orphanage have already eaten. The food given to Yun Zijin and the others now was cooked later.
"Okay, Sister Zijin, then you should eat well; I will see you later~."
Little Star looked at Yun Zijin and spoke innocent words in her clear voice.
"Okay~"
Finally coaxing the person away, Liao Zhuxiu looked at Lu Yunque and the others a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Zijin hasn't been back for too long. This child used to like Zijin the most. Seeing her back, it's inevitable that she's a little clingy."
"It's okay, the baby is cute!"
It wasn't just Yun Zijin who was touched by the cuteness just now. Li Yuecheng was almost crying as well.
Wow, after seeing too many naughty kids, the slightly obedient children seem unusually innocent and cute.
Although Lu Yunque and the others did not say anything, their expressions showed no disgust.
"That's good. I'll take you to the cafeteria first. The children's lunch cannot be delayed; they have already eaten.
I have someone prepare new dishes for you, but the food and presentation may not be very good, so please don't be disgusted."
Liao Zhuxiu felt a little embarrassed. She had only thought about bringing the guests to the orphanage to entertain them, but she had not considered the possibility that the food there might not suit the guests' taste.
"It's okay. We won't take them on this project if they dare to object."
As Party A, Yun Zijin is in direct control.
"Sister Zijin, this is not very kind of you. We came here with full sincerity."
Normally, these small projects do not require them to inspect the site personally. They would only consider getting involved in the orphanage expansion project, which Yun Zijin leads.
Change to someone else and see if they will still pay attention.
"Everything depends on the drawings. I won't let them down."
Yun Zijin is very clear about the taboos when doing business with friends. It is unacceptable to treat everyone unequally, and failing to distinguish between public and private is a taboo.
Liao Zhuxiu brought a few people to the orphanage's cafeteria. As soon as they walked into the cafeteria door, they could smell the fragrance of food.
"Aunt Liao, are the canteen making sweet and sour pork ribs today?"
Sweet and sour pork ribs are the orphanage's most popular dish, but they are unavailable daily.
Yun Zijin had eaten this dish many times during his three years in the Imperial Capital, but he always felt something was missing.
Unexpectedly, I got to eat it today, my first day back.
"Knowing that you were returning, Lao Lin bought some fresh ribs especially."
Many dishes were on the two tables for eight people in the cafeteria. They were not big dishes, but every time Yun Zijin looked at each one, she felt it was a childhood memory.
"It's still hot! I can tell it tastes good. We're all family so that I won't be polite!"
Li Yuecheng picked a pair of bowls and chopsticks from the table and scooped rice.
Seeing Li Yuecheng's support, the staff in the cafeteria smiled brighter.
"Mr. Lu, these dishes and chopsticks have been sterilized. If you..."
Yun Zijin noticed that Lu Yunque and the other two were silent and thought they were dissatisfied with the dirty dishes.
But after all, there are only children in the orphanage, and although the bowls are plastic, they are clean and hygienic.
After each use and cleaning, it will be placed in a disinfectable cabinet before being used again.
"It's okay. It's just my first time eating in such an environment. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
After saying that, Lu Yunque also took a pair of bowls and chopsticks, scooped rice from behind Li Yuecheng, and then sat down on the seat following suit.
The big guy, about 1.8 meters tall, sat on the stool at the cafeteria table, and his long legs seemed to have nowhere to put.
Fu Ze and Sheng Hao were not pretentious. They took their bowls and chopsticks, scooped some rice, and sat down.
Not to mention Yun Zijin, she grew up here.
However, Yun Zijin's bodyguards and Lu Yunque's assistants were also present, so one table couldn't accommodate them.
They all sat down consciously at another dining table where the food was served.
*
After dinner.
"Ouch! I'm so full! I can't even walk anymore."
Li Yuecheng didn't expect these seemingly ordinary dishes to become more addictive the more he ate, and he ate too much without realizing it.
"Are you full? I'll get you some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets. If you like them, come back next time. Don't eat too much at once."
When Liao Zhuxiu heard Li Yuecheng say he was full, she hurried to get him medicine.
Although Lu Yunque and the others didn't say anything, they didn't move after putting down their bowls.
"You guys... aren't you too full?"
Yun Zijin glanced at Lu Yunque and the other two. Why did he feel that their expressions looked a little guilty?
"It's okay. This happens to many people who come here for the first time. It will be fine next time if you are mentally prepared."
When the volunteers come, some of them often eat too much. No one knows whether it is the canteen chef's problem or the volunteers'.
"Really? Those are pretty amazing!"
After hearing Yun Zijin say this, Fu Ze also found it unbelievable.
