Chapter 304 Family
Liang Qirui introduced the two cadres in the conference room to Xiaopang: "You can call them Uncle Ma and Aunt Zhong."
After greeting everyone one by one, Zhang Xiaopang introduced himself.
Aunt Zhong asked Zhang Xiaopang: "Are all your friends from ancient times online now?"
Xiaopang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, we have started a group chat meeting in the group, and they can see us now."
Upon hearing this, Liang Qirui and others smiled and waved to Zhang Xiaopang.
"Hello, kids. You've been in this foreign world for so long and have a hard time. Are you missing home?"
This sentence immediately made Jiang Lili and her group, who were watching Xiaopang’s live video broadcast, feel sad.
Aunt Zhong uncovered the covered dishes on the table one by one: "Children, I know you can't see your family or contact them now."
"After learning about your situation, I tried my best to contact your family in Jiangcheng and asked them to come to the staff canteen near the base to make some home-cooked meals."
"These on the table are freshly cooked by your family. Guess what dish your family made for you?"
The covered dishes on the conference room table were unveiled one by one: tonic soup, lemon passion fruit chicken feet, sweet and sour spare ribs, vegetable salad... every dish had its own unique characteristics.
The students who had been silently peeking at the screen were also awakened at this moment and came to claim the dishes sent by their parents.
[@Yan Chaoyue (Caoyuan Khan is not kidney-deficient): I can tell from the pot of that big pot of tonic soup that my dad made. He was afraid that I would be too weak to work, right?]
[@李思聪（Sales Champion in Linzhou）：The lemon passion fruit is definitely made by my mother. There is a saying in my hometown that chicken feet grab wealth. My family loves to eat chicken feet. 】
Jiang Lili understood. No wonder Li Sicong's family were the top sellers!
She remembered that when Li Xiaoguan's mother came to the school for a parent-teacher meeting in high school, she directly converted 95% of the parents in the class into customers of their clothing store.
Why 95%? Because the remaining two parents are in the same business who run clothing stores. It is said that their faces turned green with anger after the parent-teacher meeting, and they hated Li Xiaoguan’s mother with gnashing teeth.
【@侯潇潇 (Princess of Jin): Help, why is my mom still making peach blossom cakes for me? 】
Hou Xiaoxiao's mother knew that Hou Xiaoxiao was a workaholic in the workplace and had no time to fall in love. She worried about Hou Xiaoxiao's life-long affairs every day, prayed for her to find a partner and to attract romantic interests, and even used peach blossoms as an ingredient in her desserts.
[@侯潇潇 (Princess of Jin): Should I tell my mom that I have skipped the dating stage, have a lousy husband, and am about to divorce or even kill him? ]
[@贺凛（大明星）：Help me, why did my sister make fruit salad for me on such a rare occasion? I am no longer in the entertainment industry and don’t have the requirement to be on camera, so I don’t need to control my diet! ]
He Lin's agent is his sister. When she received the news from Zhang Xiaopang that He Lin was going to quit the entertainment industry and devote herself to a career that contributes to the country, she was dumbfounded. She once suspected that Zhang Xiaopang had kidnapped He Lin, and could only reluctantly announce the news that He Lin would temporarily retire from the entertainment industry.
He Lin's sister finally felt relieved after receiving Aunt Zhong's invitation to cook. She really didn't expect that her brother would make it in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Xiaopang had previously contacted his classmates’ families and told them a white lie, saying that Master Liao and other classmates were working on a state-level confidential project in their own company and could not meet with their families and could only call them occasionally.
Aunt Zhong's invitation to cook undoubtedly made Xiaopang's white lie come true.
After all, these students in their class are really contributing to the country!
The organization also awarded subsidies and medals to the families of Master Liao and others, but the parents declined the subsidies, saying that Xiaopang had already given them enough.
The parents accepted the medals with joy and pride. It turns out their children are really making contributions to the country!
Although they cannot see their child, Master Liao and his family feel more at ease with the official confirmation.
When Wen Qiao, Master Liao and others saw the home-cooked dishes on the table in the video, they couldn't help but well up in tears. They truly felt the organization's care for them.
Aunt Zhong also took special care of Jiang Lili, who was born an orphan and grew up eating at other people's homes. She put a letter in Zhang Xiaopang's treasure bucket: "Lili, Xiaopang also donated a sum of money in your name to the orphanage where you stayed as a child, and also funded the children in your small fishing village to go to school."
"This is a thank-you letter from the orphanage director."
"The village chief also made braised fish."
【@张小胖: Hey, Li Li, how about I turn on the speaker function so you can say hello to the uncles and aunts together? 】
Jiang Lili and Master Wen Qiao Liao said they would talk about it later, as they were afraid they would not be able to hold back their tears now.
At this time, everyone who had finished their work was on the deck of the ship, preparing to go home. The sea breeze was blowing gently, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on everyone, making the deck golden.
Jiang Lili took out a letter from her backpack and placed the braised fish that had been sent to her on the small low table on the deck.
Her eyes welled up when she saw the familiar handwriting of the director on the letter, as well as the crooked words of thanks and handprints written by the children in the orphanage.
Jiang Lili took a bite of the braised fish cooked by the village chief and her eyes suddenly filled with tears. The taste was still the same as she remembered.
Xin Che felt a pang of sadness when he saw the word "orphanage" on the letter. He had heard Liao Dabao mention that Li Li's parents unfortunately passed away shortly after she was born, and she grew up in an orphanage.
He couldn't help but raise his hand and rub the top of Jiang Lili's head.
Jiang Lili's tears fell as she ate.
Wen Qiao and Master Liao didn't know how to comfort the child. They both had parents who fed them, so they turned their eyes to Xin Che at the same time.
It's just that the look in their eyes is different.
Wen Qiao looked at him with a blaming look: How do you do things? Why don't you care about it?
Master Liao looked at him encouragingly: Master, come on!
The adult and the child went to the large table that had just been set up on the deck to set the food, leaving space for the two of them.
Xin Che looked at the little girl and her tears fell like beads from a broken string after she read the letter.
He raised his hand and wiped the tears from her face with his fingertips, then lowered his eyes to watch the hot tears sliding down the back of his hand, as if they were dripping into his heart, burning his chest and causing him heartache.
She has always been as bright and dazzling as the little sun, almost making people forget that the little sun can also go out.
Xin Che's Adam's apple rolled slowly, and he comforted her in a hoarse voice, "Don't cry, I'm here."
When you are sad and want to cry, if there is someone who cares about you, you will want to cry even more.
Jiang Lili raised her misty eyes and looked at Xin Che, then threw herself into Xin Che's arms, her tears rubbing on his chest, trying to hide her embarrassment of not being able to hold back her tears.
Her sudden initiative made Xin Che a little confused.
Looking at the furry little head in his arms, he stroked Jiang Lili's back with his big hand: "Look, in both worlds, there are still many people who care about you and accompany you."
"We are a family without blood ties."
