After Tang Xiu left Shanghai Airport, he did not go directly to Zhang Xinya's concert venue at the New World Center. Instead, he took a taxi back to the Xinglan Villa area.
"boss!"
Wrench squatted at the gate of Xinglan Villa District and had already smoked several cigarettes. When he saw Tang Xiu getting out of a taxi, he hurriedly greeted him.
Tang Xiu glanced at the commercial vehicle listening more than ten meters away, nodded and said, "How many of them will be sent this time?"
Wrench said: "There are five in total, but the five of them are a bit special."
Tang Xiu asked differently: "What's going on?"
Wrench said: "These five children are all seven years old, a total of three girls and two boys. They were adopted before, but the old man had a cerebral blood vessel blockage. After his death, the five of them were driven away by the old man's children. They came out and lived on the streets. When our people found them, they were fighting with a group of children over two packs of instant noodles."
"instant noodles?"
Tang Xiu asked with a frown.
Wrench said: "That's right. They have been living on the streets for more than four months, and they don't have enough to eat every day. As a result, they met a boy a few days ago and were bullied by their classmates. The boy promised to give them two packs of instant noodles. Help him teach the classmates who bully the school a lesson."
Tang Xiu asked curiously: "What's the result?"
Wrench smiled bitterly and said: "Although we won, we all lost. There were a lot of opponents. A dozen people beat five of them."
Tang Xiu asked: "Are you sure that a dozen children beat five of them and the five of them won?"
Wrench nodded and said: "Yes, when I first saw them, the five of them were fighting with the group of children. I asked about them and learned that the five of them were adopted by the old man and taught them some martial arts. I learned about the old man's identity and found out that he was once a martial arts master. He lived in seclusion because his legs were broken during a martial arts competition with others in the early years."
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Let's go in! Let's talk inside."
"good!"
Wanwan agreed and followed Tang Xiu to the commercial vehicle.
The car door opens.
Tang Xiu sat directly in the passenger seat, and Wrench passed the registration at the gate and drove into the villa area. Tang Xiu did not look back, even though he knew that those five children were sitting in the two rows behind the commercial vehicle. However, he was not observing them with his eyes at the moment, but was examining them with his consciousness.
Two boys!
Three girls!
The clothes they wore were very ordinary, and their appearance was also very ordinary. All five of them had some injuries, but they were all minor injuries and did not bother them at all. At this moment, they were all looking at the back of their heads, their eyes showing a bit of curiosity and a bit of vigilance.
"Don't worry, I'm not a human trafficker."
After the business car parked in the courtyard of the villa, Tang Xiu finally turned around, glanced at the five children, said this with a slight smile, and then got out of the car. After leading them into the lobby of the villa, Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, "You five, treat this place as your home for the time being. Feel free to take a look around!"
Finished!
He looked at the wrench, pointed to the sofa opposite, sat down, and said with a smile: "You have all been looking for street children recently. Tell me about this."
Wrench smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, although the work you asked us to do is very meaningful, I really don't want to say more. I have seen too much and understood too much. Every time I look at these street children, I feel a little sad. We compare Those children are so lucky and happy. Thinking about the time I spent when I was a gangster, I feel that living like this now seems to have become valuable."
Tang Xiu smiled and said: "Doing what you like and doing what you think is meaningful proves that you are happy now. Since you like this job, you must do it well. What I ask for is not quantity, but quality. Of course. , you can also find ways to take care of those unqualified street children, such as sending them to orphanages, or handing them over to the local police and letting them find a solution. Now, I am very satisfied with your abilities and hope you will continue to work hard. "
Wrench said seriously: "Boss, we will definitely do a good job."
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Tell me about the situation of the five of them!"
Wrench said: "I have investigated their life experiences. Xiaoyi and Xiaoer are twin brothers. The old man found abandoned babies while doing morning exercises by a river. The three of them were also abandoned and sent to a local orphanage. As a result, the orphanage closed down, and the problem of placement of the children inside could not be solved. Although the director of the orphanage at that time thought of many ways, in the end, the three of them were left without placement. Because the old man lived far away from the orphanage. The hospital is not far away, and after hearing about this, I adopted the three of them."
Tang Xiu asked: "In other words, you can't find the families of five of them?"
Wrench smiled bitterly and said: "I tried a lot of methods, but I really can't find it."
Tang Xiu said: "Since you can't find it, there's no need to look for it. Come here five of you, I want to ask you if you would like to be adopted by me in the future? Of course, I will provide you with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and let you study and practice martial arts. Become a capable person.”
When Tang Xiu was talking to Wrench, the five children did not run around because this place was very luxurious. Instead, they stood not far away with vigilance and curiosity. After hearing Tang Xiu's words, they took a few steps towards Tang Xiu. One of the tallest girls asked, "How are you going to arrange for us?"
Tang Xiu smiled and said: "A very smart child, obviously much more mature than his peers. It's okay to tell you now. I am going to let you live here temporarily. After a while, some street children will be sent here. I will send you both to Jingmen Island, you should live there for a few years, and then, if you perform well, I will take you home."
"Go home? Where is where?"
The girl asked curiously.
Tang Xiu said: "That is my home, a home in the true sense. Likewise, if you study hard, practice martial arts seriously, and gain my approval, I will be willing to bring you to my home and make it our home." "
The girl asked again: "You said you want us to continue practicing martial arts? Do you know martial arts?"
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, and it's very powerful."
The girl turned back, whispered a few words to the other four people, and finally looked up at Tang Xiu and asked: "We have one last question, why do you adopt so many street children? Like us!"
The smile on Tang Xiu's face grew wider and he said: "Although you are young, I believe you must understand this saying: There is strength in numbers. If street children are gathered together to study together and practice martial arts together, when you grow up in the future, If anyone dares to bully our family, many people will resist together and fight against those who bully us. Are you satisfied with my explanation?"
"satisfy!"
The five children murmured a few more words, and the girl with the tallest head nodded seriously.
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "Then, tell me your names."
The tallest girl said: "My name is Xiao Zi, their names are Xiao Lan and Xiao Qing; their names are Xiao Yi and Xiao Er."
Tang Xiu asked curiously: "You don't have a last name?"
"No, grandpa didn't say our last names." The girl said honestly.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Then your surname will be Tang from now on! As for your names, I think you five should just change your names! I'll give you new names."
The girl asked: "What's your name?"
Tang Xiu said: "The names are based on metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. You will be called Tang Xiaojin, and the four of them will be Tang Xiaomu, Tang Xiaoshui, Tang Xiaohuo, and Tang Xiaotu. How about it?"
The five children gathered together and murmured for a while, and finally decided to accept Tang Xiu's new name. Even, finally there was some smile on their faces.
A few minutes later.
Wrench drove away, and Tang Xiu took Tang Xiaojin and the other five to visit the villa, telling them some things they needed to know, and finally said in the corridor on the first floor: "From now on, you will live on the first floor, and Tang Xiaojin will have a room by himself. Tang Xiaomu and Tang Xiaoshui share one room, and Tang Xiaohuo and Tang Xiaotu share one room. Tomorrow I will take you to buy some clothes, shoes, and some simple textbooks. By the way, I will hire some teachers for you and let those teachers start teaching you to read and write. From now on. You don’t have to worry about food, I will invite two nannies to come over and take care of your daily life. In addition..."
"Ring ring ring..."
Tang Xiu's cell phone rang, interrupting his subsequent words.
Tang Xiu took out his mobile phone and found that the number on the caller ID turned out to be Li Laoshan's. He immediately pressed the connect button and said with a smile, "Brother Li, why did you remember to call me?"
"Brother Tang, I'm here in Shanghai. Are you free now? How about we meet?" Li Laoshan's hearty laughter came from the mobile phone.
Tang Xiu hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile: "Brother Li, if it were at other times, that would be no problem. But I have something going on here right now, so I'm afraid I can't leave. Otherwise, how about you come directly to my residence?"
"Going to your place?"
Li Laoshan said in surprise: "Going here so late won't disturb your family, right?"
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "No!"
Li Laoshan smiled and said: "Nacheng, tell me your address and I'll go there now. By the way, do you want me to bring some good wine and food? Not long after arriving in Shanghai, after settling in the hotel, I was hungry It has to be that the front is touching the back."
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "No, you can just come over here."
hang up the phone.
Tang Xiu sent his address to Li Laoshan via text message on his mobile phone. Then he looked at the five people of metal, wood, water, fire and earth and said, "You don't have to worry about your daily life in the future. I only have one request for you."
Tang Xiaojin asked curiously: "What's the request?"
Tang Xiu said: "Listen to me. I tell you to go east, but you cannot go west. I tell you to stand, but you cannot sit. My orders are above all else."
"Um!"
The five people of metal, wood, water, fire and earth nodded heavily.
obedient!
This is their advantage. After being adopted by their grandfather, they were taught the most to be obedient.
