When I slept until dawn, I stretched out contentedly. After everything was packed, I was ready to go out. The orphanage is not as lively as I imagined. I thought it must be noisy where there are many children.
It seemed orderly here, and many children looked at me blankly after they came in. From their eyes, I read the desire.
It was the kind of longing for my loved ones, my heart suddenly became soft, and the original complaints were left behind. Compared with them, I am already very happy. What else can I complain about.
In front of children, adults will always put away the edge of the outside, and I am no exception. I stretched out my hand and stroked the head of a nine-year-old child. He looked like a tiger and looked smart and cute.
"What's your name, and how many grades are you in?" I squatted down and asked his eyes.
"My name is Xiaohu, and I haven't read a book." When Xiaohu said to the end, his voice was low and he looked very unhappy. I wondered why he didn't study.
A staff member happened to pass by and asked, only to realize that the funds here were insufficient. The funds of the orphanage are limited, but the number of children increases every year, and many of them are abandoned by their biological parents because they are born with diseases.
In the end, with the help of caring people, the condition was controlled or completely cured, but the parents did not take them back in the end.
There is no condition to study.
Xiaohu knew that we were talking about his business, so he waited aside and didn't play with his playmates. Many of the nine-year compulsory education is free of tuition, that is, tuition and miscellaneous expenses are higher.
Anyway, I came here to do good deeds. I thought about it. Today's society, if there is no culture, is simply lagging behind others, and in the future, there will be no competitiveness at all.
I made the decision immediately, patted Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "Xiaohu, you will go to school next semester, and my uncle will support you."
"Really?" Xiaohu's eyes were bright like stars in the night sky, and instantly I was moved. I smiled, and then raised my head to ask the staff whether it was compliant to do so, and I wanted to fund multiple people.
"Of course, of course!" The staff was very happy to comment on such things, and he immediately arranged for me to meet with the dean. The dean walked with wind, and came to me in a few steps.
He looked excited: "Your name is Hou San? That's great, you're a really enthusiastic person. I have information about the children there. Apart from Xiaohu, you can choose a few more, and we will go through the formalities."
This is very simple. The dean will contact the school. Every year I transfer the tuition fee to the account of the orphanage. All the money will be used for the children's studies.
All of these can be found. The dean reassured me that I think it's pretty good, it won't delay my business, and the more important thing is that it feels great to help people.
Xiaohu and I are very close, although we only met for the first time, but when I said to leave, he already seemed very reluctant. He solemnly assured me: "Uncle, I think I will study hard and will not let you down."
When he said this, there were still tears in his eyes, and I also seemed touched. The children's feelings are all innocent. I believe him! The dean was mindful, and brought all the other children one by one to meet with me.
Look
With a face full of sunshine and childishness, my heart also appeared excited, although I was reluctant to give up, but still separated. When I waited outside, I saw that there were not many people in a garden nowadays.
Taking advantage of the joy of just now, I summoned the lady in red from the ring. As soon as I saw her shadow, I showed her the certificate of enthusiasm sent to me by the dean in my hand.
"Look, this is the certificate I just got to help a few children. I have changed it and it's no longer the same as before."
The lady in red hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and she seemed to be moved to think of her, not as anxious as she faced the old Taoist priest yesterday.
She leaned over and took a look. It was the current photo. Although she was not very satisfied, she still took pictures of my handsomeness.
The woman in red took a look, then looked at me, and sighed.
She used to never be discouraged. Could it be that her temperament has changed because she was frustrated last night. I tried to ask her to say:
"Just let us reconcile, you said yes yesterday, we are one. I want to be a good person, you help me."
I stared at the woman in red, thinking that if she refused, I was afraid that my hard work would be in vain. But to my surprise, the woman in red actually agreed to come down.
"Okay, I promise you."
I opened my mouth and looked at her incredulously: "You didn't hear me wrong, are you really willing to help me?" The woman in red smiled, and she didn't go on.
I didn’t make a mistake just now. Today’s lady in red looks like a different person. She lowered her head and said softly:
"Actually, I am also very sorry for what happened before. You are my master after all. I used to be too irritable and always demanded too much of you. If you really want to be better, I will definitely be able to change. Ok."
As she spoke, she looked straight into my eyes, her gaze seemed so sincere.
I stayed for a while, the lady in red has become too fast, it is difficult for me to adapt to it for a while. The girl in red floated forward, although it was still gloomy, but there was no previous hostility, and it became much more peaceful.
Although with my sincerity, I think she will be moved by me sooner or later, but I don't trust her. The woman in red was not in a hurry, and did not chase me to show her change.
There was a momentary silence, and among us, an old man passed in front of us. He was dressed in tatters, holding a snakeskin bag in his hand, and turned over before reaching a trash can.
If there was a plastic bottle, his mouth would split open and smile. He had poor legs and walked very slowly, and he glanced at me. When Xu saw that I kept staring at him, he also seemed a little uncomfortable. He didn't go deep into the trash can. After turning a few times, he looked fondly before leaving.
For some reason, I was extremely sad to see her come out to make this kind of money at her age. The old man can't see the woman in red, but the woman in red can see him.
She floated to my side first, and seeing the sympathy in my eyes, her voice became soft: "This old man is so pitiful." I sniffed suddenly, wondering why I thought of my parents.
I haven't returned home for a long time, so I miss it very much.
I didn't say a word, but the woman in red seemed very touching. After the old man left, her gaze still followed. Is she really
Changed for the better? I looked at him suspiciously.
The old man crossed the road, he waited for a while, and the cars in front of him drove away before heading straight to the opposite side of the street. There is no trash can there.
I also became interested at this time, and I don't want to investigate whether the woman in red is sincere or fake. Following her gaze, she looked over.
The woman in red sighed: "I have lived to this age, but he still has expectations. His life must be difficult, but he did not give up hope."
I was stunned, the woman in red was not born out of thin air to sigh, because the old man kept walking forward, he actually went into a lottery shop.
Because he had gloves in his hands when picking up the trash, he took them off carefully at this time, and put them outside the store with the treasure he found. He walked in.
He is obviously a frequent visitor, because the shopkeeper hasn't said a word since he came in. The old man shuddered and turned out a handful of notes from his body. The number should be selected on it.
There was expectation on his face, but when he paid the money, he turned out the corners, which made people look sad. The woman in red also looked uncomfortable and generally reluctant to look any further. Turned his back.
"Hou San, what do you think?"
Her voice was low, with a sense of vicissitudes and compassion. I was touched for a while, and couldn't help but said: "If there is a way, I really want to help him."
The thought of helping people is like a seed, once I read it, it is immediately deeply rooted in my mind. Hasn't the woman in red now changed her face
I thought for a while, and immediately said to her: "Can you help her?"
The lady in red was embarrassed at first, she confirmed: "Hou San, do you really want me to show up to help him?"
"Yes!" I didn't hesitate, "I ask you to help him, because except you, no one has the ability to change his life and let his old age lead a carefree life."
The face of the lady in red instantly glowed, and she soon reported in front of me. I felt happy. When the old man left, I rushed forward, picked up the numbers he had discarded, and put them in my pocket.
He chose the two-color ball, and has not paid attention to me, and turned on the TV in this issue. The bonus inside rolled to an embarrassing amount.
Even I was a little moved. The host said a lot, and finally reached the most exciting moment. The rushing sound immediately rolled, and the various balls inside were spinning quickly, and when it stopped, my eyes lit up.
It was a two, the same as the crumpled note in my hand. The words of the lady in red must have worked, and I became excited, haha, there is no suspense at all in the numbers behind, almost as written on the paper.
At the end, when the bonus was announced, even I was shocked, five million. My God, if this is for the old man to pick up plastic bottles, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick up so much money in ten lifetimes.
When I turned off the TV, I couldn't calm down for a long time. It must be very gratifying to imagine what the old man looks like at this time. I should tell him, lest he gets too excited and it turns out to be a tragic thing.
There was a shady wind behind her, and the lady in red appeared at the right time. She triumphantly said to me: "Hou San, are you satisfied with what I have done?"
