Chapter 170: Just My Humble Opinion
After a moment, he quickly ran back. He said with a big smile on his face, "Mrs. Ji brought her siblings to the Angel Orphanage to show their compassion for others. They are also giving out dumplings to passersby. There are many different flavors of dumplings, and they smell delicious!"
"Oh?" the old man raised his eyebrows with interest. "It’s quite tiring since we have all walked for so long. Come, let’s go and get a bowl of dumplings to eat."
"Professor Xu." The young assistant looked at the crowd and advised worriedly, "It’s not safe with so many people over there. What if you get crushed by the crowd? I’ll go and get you a bowl."
"I’m not that fragile," Professor Xu waved his hand indifferently and smiled, "Isn’t everyone lining up? It’s fine. They’re giving everyone a little something, so we should thank them personally."
Seeing that Professor Xu insisted, the assistant had no choice but to stand by his side and line up. The other students cheered and followed him. When Professor Xu was at the front of the line, a new set of dumplings just happened to have finished cooking.
"Happy new year, old man," Shen Hanxing smiled and handed over the bowl of dumplings.
"Thank you. Happy new year to you too." Professor Xu held the bowl of dumplings and stood on the other side, making room for the people behind him. The dumplings were white and plump, they looked very tempting. When he took a bite, the fragrance of cabbage mixed with meat rushed to his face, and his taste buds were instantly satisfied.
Professor Xu could not help but smile. He looked at the children in the orphanage who were also eating dumplings. He said with a smile, "You are doing a very great deed, Mrs. Ji."
"What good deed? I just want us to celebrate the new year together," Shen Hanxing smiled. Her delicate eyebrows were misty and warm in the steam. "The children are happy, and when I look at them like that, I’m happy too. It’s a win-win for everyone."
