Chapter four hundred and ninety-two memories
You know, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount.
Especially for such a very difficult welfare home.
A hundred thousand yuan is like a timely help.
After all, the dean now only has enough money to use, only two or three thousand.
For such a large welfare home, dozens of children waiting for dinner, what can two or three thousand yuan do?
The dean even wanted to break the money into two petals.
If there is a hundred thousand, everyone can buy two or three new warm clothes for renovations to keep warm, and it will take a long time to allow the children to have a full meal.
This 100,000 yuan is really hard-earned.
"Thank you, thank you, I thank you for your children. May kind-hearted people have a safe life." The old dean's voice trembled a little, and he was about to kneel down with his crutch.
Han Teng immediately helped the old dean up.
"Old Dean, this is not something we can do. Besides, we are not for you, but for the children. You are old now, and when our grandfather is enough, we can't afford to kneel down."
Finally, the dean calmed down.
I took another sip of the fragrant tea on the table.
"In the past, when the welfare home was first opened, many news media were indeed rushing to report on these things. During that time, a group of rich people came, giving rice, oil and money."
"But there are not that many, most of them are given for one or two thousand. I know that this will not last too long. This kind of charity may be just everyone's kindness for a while, but everyone will not be kind forever. Maybe not long after the sale will be replaced, and I will forget us, so I dare not spend money indiscriminately..."
"But just a few years ago, the savings I had saved before were finally spent. I had no choice but to grow vegetables and rely on this meager income to make a living for the children."
"By the way, it's almost noon now, and the children must have not eaten yet, right? I'll buy some vegetables and drinks and let the children have a good meal." Tang Guoer suddenly thought of it and went to make it.
She now relies on odd jobs after school. Because she is beautiful and capable, she has saved some money and has given her food for dozens of people to cook a meal. Tang Guoer can still take it out.
Just as Tang Guoer left, Han Teng finally raised the doubts in his heart.
"Director, actually when I saw this yard just now, I was always curious about something." Han Teng said slowly, but before he could say it, the dean chuckled.
"Haha, I know what you want to ask... You want to ask, why can this shabby yard occupy such a good place in the city center, right?"
"Uh...yes, I really want to ask this." Han Teng stopped slightly and nodded slowly.
He didn't expect that although the old dean was old and his legs were inconvenient, his thoughts were still quite flexible.
"This is a long story, so I'll just say it short. The house here originally belonged to my grandfather. He was a native of Qingshi. Later, after his death, the old house here became my old house." The old dean seemed to recall something and wanted to take out a cigarette from his pocket.
But as if he remembered his deteriorating physical condition, he could only slowly put the cigarette back again.
At this time, Xiaomei, who was standing next to the dean, was sent by the dean to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with Tang Guoer.
Because Xiaomei is more aware of the preferences of every child in the courtyard, what he likes to eat, and what he doesn’t like to eat.
So it will be much more convenient to buy vegetables with Xiaomei.
Secondly, it is also to allow these two girls to have a better conversation.
Xiaomei and Tang Guoer are not very different in age, and Tang Guoer is only about two or three years older than Xiaomei.
Although I had some disputes just now because I didn’t agree, the relationship between girls is relatively pure, and grudges come and go quickly.
Furthermore, the ultimate goal of the two girls is to make the children in the yard live a better life. As long as the final goal does not conflict, it will be a quick matter for them to resolve their grudges.
"Later, because I met a girl I liked more in another province, I followed her and settled down with her. However, the weather was not good. Not long after I got married to her, she died of illness. I also brought a few children back to Qingshi to settle down."
"After all, no matter what, this is our root. As the old saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots, let alone people. In their hometown, even eating steamed buns and pickles is a kind of enjoyment." The old dean seemed to have recalled the life he had back then.
Although it is not rich, it is nostalgic. After all, no matter what, it is all your past and your own shadow.
"Maybe it was because I enjoyed too much in my previous life. I was a little unlucky in this life. First, my wife died of illness, and later my younger son passed away due to illness. Several sons and girls all left me one after another. My youngest grandson also left me forever because of an accident." The old dean stared at the sky outside the window and said slowly.
Although he said it now, it seemed to have a little understatement, perhaps time had diluted his longing.
But Han Teng knew that he just didn't want to recall it so deeply. After all, not everyone has the courage to recall the people or things he had lost carefully.
Every time I recall one, it is not a purgatory.
"Later, I had the idea of establishing a welfare home, because of my descendants who passed away one after another. I also knew that there might be people in this world who are more miserable and unlucky than me, and those who have lost their parents since childhood are more difficult than me."
Han Teng agreed with the old dean’s words.
After all, no matter what, parents may feel sad when they lose their children, but at least, they have the ability to support themselves. If they organize their emotions, they can continue to start their lives.
However, if a child loses his parents, especially those who are only seven or eight years old, it is a question whether he can survive.
"You know what happened next. The welfare home has been open until now. There have been some orphans who came out of the welfare home. After growing up, they came back to serve the welfare home. But after all, they are still a drop in the bucket. Their money is not caused by the strong wind, and it is not easy to make money. I am not willing to let them pay frequently."
