Li Dong and his friends went to the resettlement site in the morning to see it.

There are indeed not many people, most of them are mountain people, and these people are also the most severely affected group this time.

Because there are few people, government resettlement is also convenient.

Su An specially vacated several dormitories for the agency to arrange for these people to move in, and his water, food and drink were OK.

Li Dong took a brief look and finally waved his hand. The victims were still short of quilts. In two days, a thousand quilts were transported from afar.

The deputy director of the Municipal Government Office was so happy that he liked the job of receiving businessmen. He came to visit the victims and had to make some blood.

A thousand quilts are not too much money, but they can save the government a lot of trouble.

After watching the victims, several people had a light meal together at noon.

In the afternoon, the deputy director of the Municipal Government Office led Li Dong and the others to the orphanage again.

The painting Tian Xiaoyu is now in the orphanage.

When the mountain flood broke out, Tian Xiaoyu's parents were unfortunately killed. In addition, Tian Xiaoyu had no close relatives, so she was placed in an orphanage.

Tian Xiaoyu is now a celebrity.

When Director Lin talked about Tian Xiaoyu, he said, "Mr. Li, this girl often talks about you. Last time you offered tens of millions to buy her paintings, the girl was so happy that she didn't fall asleep for several days, and kept saying thank you to Uncle Li.

Later, because the orphanage was too busy during this period, I didn't take time to send her there.

This time Mr. Li came in person, and the little girl must be very happy when she finds out.”

Li Dong nodded and asked, "Is the little girl still in school?"

"I am here and I don't dare to delay the children's studies. Secretary Liu specifically instructed me that the flood receded and we immediately let these children resume class."

Li Dongdao: "That's good. The children and parents have left. If you learn something, you can have a foundation for your life in the future."

Director Lin catered to him a few words.

When we arrived at the orphanage, the government may have notified us in advance, and the director of the orphanage led a dozen children to wait at the door.

Li Dong glanced at Director Lin, and Director Lin hurriedly said, "This should be organized by them spontaneously. Before I came, I was afraid that Tian Xiaoyu would be away, so I called and said in advance."

Li Dong nodded and said nothing.

Fortunately, I was going to see Tian Xiaoyu before, and Li Dong also prepared some things that children could use.

Schoolbags, pencil cases, some snacks and some new clothes. Because the space inside the car is not large, Li Dong didn't prepare much.

However, there are not many children in the orphanage, so it is enough to share a little by one person.

After dividing the things and things, Li Dong communicated with the orphanage director for a few words, leaving Tian Xiaoyu alone.

Tian Xiaoyu is nine years old this year. Maybe because of malnutrition, she looks like a six or seven-year-old child in the city.

He is small and has a little yellow hair, and the girl's eyes are particularly big.

The little girl was a little afraid of seeing strangers. When she saw that all her friends around her had left, a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

Seeing that she was pinching her hands and not daring to speak, the director of the orphanage hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu, this is Uncle Li who bought your painting last time. Haven't you always wanted to see him? Now Uncle Li is here, call someone."

"Uncle Li...Uncle..."

Tian Xiaoyu shouted timidly, then peeked at Li Dong.

The little girl is young and can't feel any momentum. She just thinks that Uncle Li in front of her is so young and should be called brother.

Li Dong smiled and stroked her head, and said gently: "Xiaoyu, are you unhappy when you see me?"

"Happy!"

Tian Xiaoyu grinned, revealing her teeth missing two large incisors.

It seemed as if Li Dong was not like a bad person, and he was the kind uncle who bought his own painting, Tian Xiaoyu gradually let go a lot.

He looked at Li Dong timidly, and Tian Xiaoyu asked, "Uncle, did you buy Xiaoyu's painting last time?"

Li Dong nodded and said, "I bought it. Xiaoyu painted it very well, and I like it very much."

Tian Xiaoyu smiled shyly and pulled the corner of her clothes and said embarrassedly: "But they all said that my paintings were not good-looking, and they also said that my uncle spent a lot of money and could buy many orphanages."

"Uncle has the final say on whether it looks good or not. I say it looks good."

...

After talking to Li Dong for a few words, the little girl gradually became much more familiar with Li Dong.

After talking about the past and the present life, the little girl finally said with a look of longing: "Uncle, I want to learn painting in the future. The teacher and aunt both said that Xiaoyu's painting is not worth that much money. Uncle will lose money when he buys it. When I learn it well, I will draw another one for my uncle and not charge my uncle's money."

Li Dong suddenly laughed and nodded, "Okay, then learn to draw. Uncle will wait for you to draw for me in the future."

As he said that, Li Dong looked at the dean of the orphanage and said, "Director, can you learn painting here?"

The director of the orphanage looked a little embarrassed, and Director Lin hurriedly answered: "Yes, sure, if there is no orphanage here, we can arrange an art teacher to come."

Li Dong didn't say anything, a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

Holding the little girl's hand, Li Dong pondered for a moment and asked Tian Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, how are you living here?"

Tian Xiaoyu said nervously: "It's pretty good, but sometimes I miss my parents."

Li Dong let out a long sigh and nodded, "Just be good if you have a good life. Uncle often comes to see you in the future. Do you think you are good?"

"Okay!" Tian Xiaoyu nodded happily.

Li Dong smiled and chatted with the little girl for a while before she could get her back to her partner.

Before leaving, Li Dong left 100,000 yuan for the orphanage, and said nothing, leaving the orphanage in Tian Xiaoyu's little hand that kept waving.

...

After sending Director Lin away, Li Dong and his friends returned to the hotel.

Seeing that Li Dong seemed to be in a bad mood, Liu Qi tentatively said: "Mr. Li, do you want to adopt this child?"

Li Dong scratched his head and said, "At the beginning, I had this idea, and I felt that this child had a little fate with me, and it was also pitiful if I had no parents. But later I thought about it, it was too troublesome. I couldn't even take good care of myself, let alone take care of a child.

But you have also seen it in the orphanage. Although there is a bite of food, the environment is a little bad.

Moreover, if you come to someone casually, the orphanage will be closed directly. Growing up in this environment will have a bad impact on children.

I'm not that kind-hearted person, but I feel this girl is quite sensible, and because of buying paintings before..."

After talking about it, Li Dong was a little confused and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, come and see her when you have time. It's too troublesome to adopt it. Besides, the little girl may not be happy."

Liu Qi smiled and said, "How could a little girl not want to? If she could enter Mr. Li's house, it would be a blessing from her previous life."

Seeing that Li Dong didn't say anything, Liu Qi said again: "Actually, Mr. Li has been thinking a little bit wrong. I think it would be great if your parents would adopt Tian Xiaoyu. You have been busy and there is no one to accompany your parents. If you adopt Tian Xiaoyu, you will be amused by your parents."

Li Dong said angrily: "I just listen to your meaning, just like adopting a kitten and a puppy, and I'm still amused? Am I that bad-hearted?"

Liu Qi smiled and didn't answer.

However, in her eyes, if Tian Xiaoyu was adopted by Li Dong, she would be similar to a kitten and a dog.

Li Dong was just a young man who adopted Tian Xiaoyu with sympathy for a while, but in a few years, can Li Dong still preserve this sympathy?

Not to mention Li Dong, Li Dong's parents are similar.

It’s not that they are not kind-hearted, the key is that Tian Xiaoyu is not young and can remember things, so it is difficult to cultivate that deep relationship.

If the Li family has no feelings for Tian Xiaoyu, even if Tian Xiaoyu can have food and clothing, she is actually an outsider and cannot integrate into it, so it is naturally no different from kittens and dogs.

Li Dong let out a long sigh and said for a long time: "Forget it, I won't mention this matter. Didn't Tian Xiaoyu want to learn painting? Look back and pay attention and let her learn it. I will pay the money. After all, there is an agreement between me and her to paint."

Liu Qi nodded after hearing this, and did not persuade Li Dong to adopt Tian Xiaoyu.

...

On the last day of March, Li Dong and his friends finally arrived in Anyuan.

Without stopping, a few people headed straight to the destination and arrived at Heming Township, under Anyuan County.

Heming Township, which is Li Dong and others' first target, is the 5,000 acres of land belonging to Heming Township.

Li Dong and his friends found a farmer nearest to take them to the wasteland to take a look.

When he arrived at the weed-covered wasteland, Li Dong asked, "The terrain here is flat and there is no shortage of water next to it, why is no one planting it?"

The old farmer who led the way didn't care what Li Dong and the others wanted to do, explaining: "I know that I have planted land here before, but the yield is not good. Later, the young people entered the city, and the land was deserted. We have few people and no shortage of land. After a while, no one planted it."

When he heard that someone had planted the land, Xu Shengzhe hurriedly said, "Then does this wasteland belong to your village?"

The old farmer scratched his head and said, "I really don't know this, but it doesn't seem to be. A few years ago, there was a fruit and vegetable company. It seemed that it was planning to buy this land as a planting base and build greenhouses to grow vegetables. But it didn't get a deal later. Anyway, it was talked to the township government and didn't talk to our village, so I think it shouldn't be the land of our village."

"It's not from your village, why do you farm here?" Xu Shengzhe asked again.

The old farmer smiled and said, "Anyway, it's empty and no one cares about it. What's wrong with farming? Last year, our village was planning to plant poplar trees here. If we plant tens of thousands of trees, we will grow up and sell them in a few years, at least we will have to sell them for hundreds of thousands."

"Why didn't you fall?"

"I don't have the capital!" The old farmer despised Xu Shengzhe, how much does it cost to tens of thousands of saplings?

Besides, planting trees is too slow to take effect and needs to be taken care of. Who is willing to spend this effort? What if it can’t be sold in a few years?

Xu Shengzhe didn't care about being despised, and he felt a little relieved.
