The first thing I did was to find out

Chapter 263 Born

Dean Qin led everyone to the kitchen.

In terms of scale, the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home is definitely not as good as the one where Qu Jing grew up. Shanshi is a city, and Qiu County is just a county town. Before Qin Huai was adopted, there were still some normal and healthy children in the welfare home.

At that time, Director Qin was more like the director of a nursery than the director of the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home. At that time, the living conditions of every household were not good, and the living conditions of children from ordinary families were not necessarily much better than those of children in the welfare home. When the children played together, it was not easy to tell which one was from the welfare home at first glance.

Many residents in the Sanmalu community are busy with work, so they ask Director Qin to take care of their children during the day. Director Qin sends them some rice and flour every now and then as a subsidy, and Director Qin just treats it as an extra job.

Qin Huai still remembers that before he was adopted, he often tricked the children in the community into farming with him.

Qin Huai glanced at the dilapidated building before walking into the kitchen.

The children in the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home probably can't experience the fun he had fooling people back then. Not only has the welfare home moved to the suburbs, but normal children have basically disappeared. When Qin Huai was taken away by Qin Congwen and his wife, he represented the last healthy boy to be adopted from the Sanmalu Children's Welfare Home.

When Qin Huai was a child, there were many healthy orphans who were easy to be adopted in the welfare home due to the times, but now there are very few normal children in the welfare home.

Deaf children in welfare homes are considered to have good innate conditions.

Now, Dean Qin’s expectations for the children have changed from finding a good family to be adopted, studying hard and getting into college, to learning a skill to take care of themselves and not starve to death when they grow up.

The children in the welfare home had a bleak future, the number of volunteers decreased year by year, and even the chef was fired because he was involved in a fraud case. Under such circumstances, Qin Huai introduced two powerful and caring people to the welfare home in the second half of the year. Dean Qin did not lead the children to hold a welcome ceremony for Qin Huai, which was considered as Dean Qin letting Qin Huai go.

There were two volunteers in the kitchen chopping meat. From the fatness and leanness of the meat, they could tell it was stuffing for steamed buns.

"Your Aunt Liu and Aunt Chen are taking care of the children over there and can't come over. The New Year is almost here and we are short on manpower. Huaihuai, you just take care of the cooking. If you can't finish the stuffings, keep them and let Uncle Qin cook meat soup for the children." Dean Qin comforted.

Qin Huai glanced at the ingredients on the table and felt that there was no problem. After several months of communication and learning at Huang Ji, Qin Huai is no longer the Qin Huai of the past.

He is now Qin Huai with twice the work efficiency.

I make the four-happiness dumplings and dumplings every day, so tonight I’m just going to make some four-happiness dumplings and buns, no big deal.

"It's okay, it's done." After saying that, Qin Huai rolled up his sleeves and started to prepare the stuffing.

As soon as he arrived at the welfare home, he started to hone his proficiency in making the stuffing. Qin Huai is confident that he will be able to master the skill by this year's New Year.

Then I got the A-grade four-happiness dumplings!
After the New Year, Gong Liang's eyes lit up and he successfully completed Chen Gong's side quest.

Oh, what a perfect arrangement.

Qin Huai was mixing the stuffing while the volunteers were processing the remaining ingredients. Dean Qin tried to help but ended up causing more trouble. Qin Luo was strong, so Qin Huai instructed Qin Luo to beat the meat stuffing for the four-happiness dumplings again. Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong were considered senior helpers, so Qin Huai asked his parents to help him boil the sugar first.

Commanding so many people at the same time, Qin Huai, who had rich experience in commanding helpers at Huang's, kept everyone organized and calm.

Dean Qin, who couldn't find a job, could only start to worry about Qin Huai's life when he was not in Qiu County.

Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong were also very curious. When Qin Huai was at Huang Ji, he was very busy with work, making snacks, and completing tasks. He did not have much time to communicate with his parents on the phone.

Qin Congwen and Zhao Rong knew nothing about Qin Huai's situation except that he was highly regarded in Huang's, had become a master chef with many helpers under him, had been featured in well-known magazines, and that the dim sum he made was sold at very high prices.

The couple was afraid of disturbing their son and delaying Qin Huai's rest, so they seldom took the initiative to call. When they heard Dean Qin ask, they immediately pricked up their ears to listen.

Qin Huai said everything he could.

I didn’t finish talking about this until all the fillings were processed, the dough needed for two batches of buns was kneaded, the dough was allowed to ferment quietly, and the batch production of glutinous rice wraps began.

Dean Qin concluded: "Your past few months have been more exciting than the years you spent in Qiu County."

Qin Huai thought to himself that was possible. This was just a few months of the protagonist's life in a system novel. If it were put in a novel, it could be written into 90 words, so it must be exciting.

“It was quite exciting. I met many elders and made some new friends,” Qin Huai concluded modestly.

Dean Qin smiled so that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious: "Big cities are still better. No wonder they say that young people should go to big cities to try their luck. It's just like living in our small county for the rest of your life. Huaihuai, your skills should be used in big cities to shine. It's a pity to stay in our small place." As soon as Dean Qin said this, Qin Huai subconsciously glanced at Qin Congwen and found that Qin Congwen really began to feel indebted again.

Just when Qin Huai wanted to say something to change the subject, Dean Qin asked, "Huai Huai, you just didn't say, what are your biological parents' last names?"

Qin Huai replied: "My last name is also Qin, what a coincidence."

Dean Qin turned to Qin Congwen and said, "Old Qin, I told you, you and Huai Huai are born to be father and son. You are destined to be father and son in this life. Don't act like you owe your son something when you hear something. How can you owe so much to your son?"

"Have you watched too many Qiong Yao dramas?"

Qin Luo didn't quite understand what he heard, so he asked casually, "Why is it that my brother's biological father's last name is Qin, so my brother and my father are natural father and son?"

Zhao Rong and Dean Qin laughed for no reason, and Qin Huai suddenly had a bad feeling.

Dean Qin is a good person in every way except for one problem: despite his age, his memory has not deteriorated at all. He remembers all the dark histories clearly and is quicker than anyone else to dig up old accounts.

Dean Qin explained to Qin Luo with a smile: "Your brother's surname was Qin because mine is Qin, and your brother took my surname. Although Qin is a common surname in Qiu County, not every family has the surname Qin. Normally, children adopted from welfare institutions should take the surnames of their adoptive parents, and changing surnames and names is common."

"It's just that your brother is not like that. When he was a child, he was a healthy boy no matter what, and there were many people willing to adopt him. Every time when it came time to adopt him, he was fine at first, but when it came to changing his last name and name, your brother would burst into tears and make a fuss. He cried and made a fuss, and I don't know how many couples who wanted to adopt him were driven away by his tears."

"Later, our welfare home had no choice but to choose foster parents for him. We specifically chose people with the surname Qin. There are many families with the surname Qin in Qiu County, so we can find someone with the surname Qin who is willing to adopt a child."

"It turns out that the surname Qin doesn't work, and changing the name doesn't work either."

"The crying ones, if you don't know anything, would think our orphanage is abusing children. The police were almost called to our house."

Qin Huai scratched his head awkwardly: "Didn't they say that I was not adopted because I often danced and had ADHD when I was a child, and people suspected that I was sick?"

"Yeah, other kids can sit still, but you can't even sit still for a few minutes. You don't look very smart. You burst into tears when you were told to change your name. Everyone suspects you are a fool and have intellectual problems. Luckily, your parents live nearby and know everything about you. Otherwise, my reputation would have been ruined by your crying."

"I remember what they said at that time? Oh, yes, they all said that I was not kind, that I was obviously a stupid child but I insisted on lying and saying I was a normal child."

Qin Huai:......

I swear to God, he just suffered from his lack of education and illiteracy at that time!

A child who is uneducated but has a system knows that he has an unactivated system before reading the system article.

Qin Huai was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his head in the dough, but Qin Luo did not forget to make the final move.

"It turns out that no one adopted my brother when he was a child because he was mentally ill."

Qin Huai:......

My dear sister, you missed the tasting of the fruit dumplings, didn't you? It's okay, I'll make it up to you during the Chinese New Year.

"But doesn't this mean that not only are dad and brother natural father and son, but my brother and I are also natural brother and sister?"

"If my brother is adopted by someone else, he won't be my brother anymore."

Qin Luo said loudly with a smile.

Qin Huai was so touched that he blurted out, "Luoluo, this New Year, I will definitely let you eat Grade A Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Balls!"

"Brother, what is an A-level Four-happiness Glutinous Rice Ball? What kind of mission has the system issued that you can imagine?"

"Don't worry about it. You'll know after you eat it. Your mission for this New Year is to eat!"

"Ok!"
