Chapter 611: Chapter 611: Return to Beijing_1
After a stroll, the two returned to the Wang Residence and found themselves in front of the Wuyou Pavilion.
A few slightly older children were running a little stall in front of the pavilion, accompanied by a few younger children.
A nanny-like person stood by their side.
As soon as Wei Ruo appeared, a group of children surrounded her, their faces full of smiles as they called Wei Ruo “Auntie”.
Wei Ruo smiled and gently patted their heads, easily saying, “All of you must behave well, eat your meals properly each day, sleep well, study hard, and listen to the teacher and nanny.”
“We will~” the children chorused.
Among them, the oldest boy had a stern face. He did not step forward like the others, but the expectancy on his gaze towards Wei Ruo was clear.
Sure enough, when Wei Ruo waved at him, he too went over.
This child was the mutt Wei Ruo had adopted at the very beginning. He had grown a lot, but his disposition hadn’t changed.
He treated the other children at the orphanage very well, carried a sense of responsibility, and was seen as the big brother of the orphanage.
He studied very hard, did well in his studies, and had told the teacher that he wanted to achieve success and serve King Rui and his wife. He also wanted to become the right-hand man of Wei Ruo’s son, younger Brother Yan.
Wei Ruo patted the boy’s head and instructed, “You are the reliable big brother now. In the future, when I am not around, you must take good care of your younger siblings.”
The boy looked up at Wei Ruo. “Why are you saying this, are you not going to take care of us anymore?”
He was as alert as ever.
“I just felt like saying it.”
“You cannot abandon us.” the boy said, looking slightly concerned at Wei Ruo, his face serious and stern.
Wei Ruo smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon or neglect you.”
Only then did the boy’s expression relax, and he made a very serious promise to Wei Ruo, “I will look after my little brothers and sisters well, we will be good, don’t worry.”
“Mm, I believe you.” Wei Ruo said, patting the boy’s head again.
The boy shyly hung his head, but he did not move away.
After talking with the children for a while, Wei Ruo allowed them to continue with their tasks. She then led Xie Ying to continue their walk.
Xie Ying, recalling the dreams she and Wei Ruo had discussed in the past, said, “RoRo, you have indeed realized our dream of adopting many children.”
“I can only adopt a portion of them. That’s as much as I can do.” replied Wei Ruo.
“When I have the chance in the future, I also want to help these children.” Xie Ying stated her decision.
Then Xie Ying asked, “What were they selling just now?”
“Hand-woven items, some larger ones are baskets and bags, smaller ones are grasshoppers and dragonflies, all made by the children themselves.” Wei Ruo answered.
“What are they selling these items for?”
“They sell these to supplement the costs of the Wuyou Pavilion. It’s a voluntary effort from their end. They wish to do so, and I am very pleased about it, as it allows them to learn something early.”
“How good it is,” Xie Ying said with a touch of emotion.
After they returned to Wang Residence, Xie Ying, brimming with emotions, said, “RuoRuo, I really like Jiliao City, I wish to stay here and not return to Capital City.”
Wei Ruo laughed, “You should discuss this with Boss Fan. I would be very glad if you stay here, but I am afraid that if Boss Fan disagrees, he would take out his knife and ask me to return his daughter-in-law.”
