Eighty-seventh bowl of soup (4)
This is not Qing Huan's delusion alone, and everyone else in the orphanage also thinks so. In the past, he always ignored the boy who didn't even know his name, but recently he has become better towards Qing Huan. Not to mention three meals a day to grab two meals and share them with her, even if he usually does handicrafts or goes out to sell things, the teenager will take the initiative to be a group with Qing Huan. Every time they come back, they are the first to sell the most. The boy seemed less annoying than before, although he still didn't talk to anyone except Qing Huan.
Ever since I got better with the boy, Qing Huan had to take out every meal to accompany him. Today she was trying hard to plan the rice with mixed grains in a small bowl, and the side dish was roasted pork with cabbage—very fat pork, basically You can't see thin ones on the market, but it is already a luxury for the children in the orphanage. Therefore, although Qing Huan doesn't like to eat, it is not wasted—in the name of caring for her brother, all of them are given to the teenagers.
The boy is not picky eater like her, he swallowed the fatty noodles without changing his face, and then when Qing Huan was planing the rice, her small bowl suddenly sank, it turned out that a marinated chicken leg suddenly appeared.
This chicken drumstick is plump and delicious, the burnt yellow skin exudes a mouth-watering smell, and it is very large, so it looks delicious. Qing Huan's eyes lit up, and she first looked into the boy's bowl - there was nothing there, so she reluctantly picked up the drumstick: "Brother..."
"For you."
She pursed her lips: "But my brother didn't." She insisted on giving it to the boy.
The teenager looked at her strangely: "You don't want to eat?"
Qing Huan struggled in her heart for two seconds, but in the end she couldn't overcome her longing: "I want to. But my brother doesn't have it, so I won't eat it."
The boy patted her head for the first time: "Half for one person."
Said it was half of one person, but in fact he ate the skin and bones, and he tore up the rest of the meat and put it into the Qinghuan bowl. The bones creaked in his mouth, and the boy swallowed it without changing his expression. He has a lot of money now, but the money is very important and can't be spent casually. If it wasn't for the wind blowing Qing Huan thin away, he wouldn't buy a chicken leg without telling her today.
Just such a chicken leg costs eight yuan, and the boy is in great pain.
Qing Huan was coaxed by him into believing the lie that he ate half of it, and seriously started eating meat with rice. This meat is much more delicious than the cabbage and pork cooked by the dean's mother, but she has a small appetite at the moment, and she can't finish it. In the end, the remaining teenagers didn't dislike it at all, and he swept them all into her stomach. But even so, he still can't get enough to eat. How can such a small amount of food be enough to feed a young boy in the developmental period, not to mention that he still exercises a lot every day, so eating such a small amount is just to pad his stomach.
Since arriving at the orphanage, the boy hasn't had a full meal for a long time. He has long been used to this kind of life, so he doesn't feel bitter. But for some reason he thinks that a delicate little girl like Qing Huan shouldn't suffer like this, eating a little bit carefully every day, and worrying about whether others won't get enough to eat—it's so stupid.
The days passed by like this, because the boy never told anyone his name, so everyone called him One-Eyed, his other eye couldn't be cured, and there were still children's hand-sized jagged spots around the eyes. The dark scar looks very scary, so it is usually wrapped with a bandage. Qing Huan doesn't like this title, but the young man himself doesn't care. He didn't care at all about the fact that this beautiful skin was destroyed.
By chance, the dean's mother was helped by a female reporter when she went out to raise funds. She expressed great sympathy for the female reporter's experience in the orphanage, and wrote a report for them and published it. That day was probably the cleanest and busiest day in the orphanage. All the children lined up in neat clothes for the photographer to take a photo. These children who have gone through hardships and illnesses but are struggling to live are like angels. They quickly aroused repercussions from all walks of life in society. Donation checks poured in like snowflakes, and everyone finally had a real meal.
At the same time, they also welcomed the first group of people from the society who came to the orphanage to show their love.
Qing Huan tugged at the little skirt on her body a little uneasily. This skirt was given by the reporter aunt, because she would be fed food by the boy every meal, so she would no longer look so thin, but white, tender, round and round She was wearing a little pink dress, revealing two cute little legs like lotus root joints, and a pair of 70% new little red leather shoes on her feet. Her hair was tied into a ball head, her big eyes were as big as her bangs, and her face was tender. Appearing in front of everyone becomes the focus.
But she was obviously terrified.
The young man was leaning on the tree, looking at Qing Huan with cold eyes, he took care of this little girl, but if she wanted to leave here, of course it would be a very good choice. Such a cute and rare child with no defects, must be very popular, right
He bit a piece of grass in his mouth, he was not interested in getting involved in this kind of thing, and he didn't want to be adopted, so he didn't care who came today at all.
The dean stood beside Qing Huan, knelt down and patted her head and smiled at a middle-aged couple: "This child is sensible and smart, but he is a little shy of strangers. Please take care of her in the future." Then she told Qing Huan Said, "When you get to Mom and Dad's house, you must be good."
She had already decided whether to stay or not, Qing Huan couldn't help taking a step back when she saw the kind people who stretched out their hands to her as if they wanted to hug her.
She is the most beautiful child in the entire orphanage, and she is also young. After a few years of raising her, she probably won't remember what happened here, and will regard them as her biological parents. Therefore, many people fell in love with Qing Huan as soon as they came, but it was a pity that this middle-aged couple took the lead.
Qing Huan was forced to be hugged by a middle-aged man. She was stiff at first, and then suddenly started crying and struggling: "Brother! Where is my brother! I want my brother! I want my brother!"
The middle-aged man's face was ugly, because she was struggling too much, he subconsciously let go of her hand, and Qing Huan fell to the ground like this. She cried and got up and was about to run, but the dean stopped her. Before she started to coax her, she heard her crying and refusing: "I don't want to be adopted, I want to be with my brother! Brother! Brother!"
She kept calling her brother, and the adults present all looked at each other in dismay when they heard the words: "Why does this child have an older brother?"
Then you have to reconsider the issue of adoption.
The dean quickly explained that the two children were not related by blood, and then sent Qing Huan to the arms of the middle-aged couple. Qing Huan firmly grabbed her finger and refused to go over. The dean was anxious, this silly child, this couple is a famous person, if you are their child, you don't have to stay here to suffer!
The boy lowered his head and looked down, Qing Huan cried and stretched out his hand in his direction, not knowing when he saw him. Even though so many people were there, no one noticed his presence on the tree.
Could it be that he owed her something in his previous life to be so clingy.
The fall just now was not light, the stupid girl didn't know if it hurt or not.
He jumped down from the tree neatly and nimbly passed the crowd. When Qing Huan saw him, he let go of the dean's hand and rushed over, hugging his waist tightly: "I don't want to go, I want to be with my brother." Together!"
The boy pinched her small ears: "Shut up."
She immediately stopped crying and shouting, sobbing obediently in his arms, and turned back into the beautiful and lovely little angel everyone saw at the beginning.
This is difficult.
Look at the child's dependence on the boy. No one wants to adopt such a big and disfigured child, in this case, let's give up this little girl.
"Dean." The boy looked up, this was the first time he took the initiative to talk to someone other than Qing Huan, "She doesn't want to be adopted."
"But-"
"I will take care of her." The boy said again. "If you think she is a burden, I will take her away."
Why would the dean feel that Qing Huan is a burden, she just wants the lovely child to have a home.
"And this person, because she struggled twice and threw her down, will he treat her well in the future?" The boy said coldly, "No one asked her if it hurt when she fell just now."
Qing Huan whispered in his arms: "...it hurts."
The dean was speechless.
The boy stopped talking to them, and he didn't bother to deal with this matter, anyway, it was all the dean's business. He walked away with Qing Huan in his arms, and asked her on the way: "Why didn't you let me hug you all of a sudden?"
Qing Huan pursed her lips, and after a while said timidly: "That uncle... he touched me here." He took the boy's hand and poked it down.
The young man's face suddenly became extremely ugly, no wonder he thought the man's posture in holding the stupid child was weird, he dared to do this in public, he must be a repeat offender, right? I heard that his family has adopted four or five children, and has been praised as a philanthropist and a good person. Is that how he is "good"
No one knew what was going on in the boy's mind. Anyway, after the adopters left that day, there were a few healthy children missing during dinner. No one will adopt children who are sick or born with disabilities. The middle-aged couple left when they saw that they couldn't adopt Qing Huan. Before leaving, they kept apologizing for not holding Qing Huan firmly. The dean was also very embarrassed, she didn't know what that man did to Qing Huan.
Whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is a fact when you encounter it.
The teenager doesn't live with other children, he sleeps alone in the utility room, and after Qing Huan pesters him to sleep together, there will be two of them. At night, he gently pushed Qing Huan away who was sleeping soundly on his body, took out the cell phone under the pillow and made a call.
I don't know what was said on the other side, but the boy showed a rare smile: "I'm short of money recently, I need to trouble you to give me some."
