The plan was quickly completed, but the most important thing was to visit the welfare home in person.

So, Ning Xi found a time and drove there with Ye Wuyou.

The welfare home is in a good location.

But this place is not very welcome, as if it is a forgotten place. Everything here is old, like a building that has been there for decades, even the gate is rusty green.

When Ning Xi arrived, she was shocked to see the peeling wall.

"There are still such houses nowadays? Won't they be considered as dangerous buildings?" she asked.

Just then, a woman in a woolen coat came out.

When she heard this, she immediately smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. This orphanage was considered to be demolished as early as this fall. However, there are still more than 30 children in the orphanage, plus the caregiver and me, a total of 40 people."

"If it's demolished, what will happen to these dozens of people? The people above can't figure it out, and we don't know either, so it has been delayed until now. It can be regarded as a kind of mercy on us."

Ning Xi looked at the middle-aged woman.

The woman looked very kind. Her woolen coat was a little faded, and it looked like she had worn it for a long time.

From this point, it can be seen that the welfare home is indeed very poor.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Ning Xi apologized for her impolite remarks just now.

The middle-aged woman said that she was the director of this welfare home.

This time, Ning Xi was even more surprised, it turned out to be the dean!

"Miss, are you surprised? There are many people who have the same reaction as you. Well, it's cold outside, come in and talk." The dean invited them in.

After entering, Ning Xi gained a further understanding of the poverty level of this welfare home.

It's really poor here.

Even the dean only served two cups of warm water.

The dean was very embarrassed and said, "Sorry, we don't have any good tea here..."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Wuyou and Ning Xi, who were obviously wearing clothes of very good quality, and she couldn't raise her head anymore.

Seeing this, Ning Xi quickly picked up the cup and took a sip. "It's okay. I don't like strong tea either. This is good. Sit down and let's talk."

Then we get down to business.

Ning Xi took out the plan she had prepared.

At this time, she had to be thankful that she had not made this thing too complicated before. Now the dean should be able to understand it.

The dean can indeed understand.

She lowered her head for a while, and when she looked up again, her eyes were clearly bright and excited. "Are you really going to invest in us, help renovate the orphanage, and promise not to drive away our children and caregivers?"

"Well, you can rest assured about these. We also know how difficult it is to find caregivers. And those homeless children are really pitiful. We will not drive them away."

"Thank you, thank you so much! Really, I don't know what words to use to express how I feel right now." The dean was so happy that he kept wiping his tears and spoke incoherently.

Holding on to that plan tightly is like a drowning person grabbing a lifeline.

Ning Xi felt sad when seeing this.

In fact, the director is only in her early forties this year, not very old, and she has been working in this welfare home for almost twenty years.

This means that she arrived here at least in her twenties.

After Ning Xi looked at the financial situation of the welfare home, she found it hard to imagine how she had managed to survive all these years alone with so many caregivers and children.

Ning Xi admired her very much.

After the dean calmed down a little, Ning Xi suggested that she wanted to meet the children in the welfare home.

The dean readily agreed, "Okay, I'll take you to see it, but you may see a child who is not very sociable in a while, please don't mind."

Ning Xi was a little surprised that the dean suddenly changed the subject in the middle of a speech. She was obviously interested in the child who was mentioned as being treated specially.

Soon, they arrived outside a classroom.

This is a classroom set up by the welfare home’s caregivers in an empty room, because many of the children in the welfare home cannot afford the tuition and no kind-hearted people have donated money to them for a long time.

In order to prevent these children from knowing nothing when they reach the age of enlightenment and going to school.

The caregivers took turns to be teachers and give them lessons.

Now, classes are going on in the classroom.

Ning Xi was afraid of scaring the children if she went in rashly, so she didn't go in. She just stood outside and watched quietly. Soon, she noticed a boy in the corner who didn't fit in with the surroundings.

The other children were all active, following the teacher's pace, answering questions and playing games.

He was the only one sitting in the corner, holding a building block and staring blankly.

"Is this the child you were talking about?" Ning Xi asked, her heart moved.

The dean nodded and looked at the child with eyes full of sighs and love. "Yes, that's him. This boy's name is Du Wenhan. His mother died in an accident after divorcing his father. He was supposed to be raised by his father."

"But his father also had a heart attack and died. He had no relatives at home and could only come to the welfare home. It was said that he was a very lively and cheerful child before, but after that, he was never seen smiling."

"No matter what we do, he's always been like this."

Ning Xi frowned slightly, glanced at the man beside her, and then shifted her gaze back.

This looks very much like an autistic child.

Her heart tightened instantly.

"Is he usually willing to communicate with you?"

The dean shook his head and sighed, "He refuses to talk. Even when we tempt him with candy, he still refuses to do so. He even refuses to take the candy. He usually only holds the block in his hand. Here, that one. I don't know where it came from."

After hearing this, Ning Xi was 100% sure.

They are children with autism!

Some of these diseases are congenital, but some are acquired. That is, after the patient receives a certain blow, he or she is mentally traumatized and therefore closes off his or her heart and stops communicating with people outside.

This disease can be serious or minor.

But now that she has discovered it, Ning Xi can't just sit there and do nothing.

She asked the dean to be alone with the boy to test the severity of his condition.

The dean hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Ding-a-ling! The children in the classroom heard the bell and dispersed, and the get out of class was over.

Little kids came running out to Ning Xi one after another, and soon, the boy was the only one left in the classroom.

The nurse walked over to her side. It was obvious that the director had already greeted her. She pointed to the boy's position and said to Ning Xi, "He's still getting his food. He can't even feed himself. Go ahead. Just be careful not to be too late. Dinner will be served soon."
