I was stunned, "What kind of photos should I take?"
"Photos of love."
Sister Xiaofu seemed to be used to visitors like me, "You are a kind person who helped us. We are willing to cooperate. Video recording is also possible. I am not afraid of being on camera..."
"Oh, I came here just to pass by. I didn't bring anything with me, and I didn't take any photos."
I waved my hand, and Sister Xiaofu said with a smile, "Sister Xiaoying'er, you don't have to think too much. It would be nice if you could come and talk to us. If you don't donate anything, I agree to let you take photos. Can you do it for publicity?"
"Xiao Ying'er is not here to take photos today. Didn't I tell you last night that the gang of bullies in the vegetable market were caught? It's all thanks to Xiao Ying'er."
Grandma Liu added next to her, "Little Ying'er is worried about the stars this time, so she stopped by to see the big guy."
Hearing this, Sister Xiaofu and Sister Ahua's eyes also lit up, and they thanked me again and again.
Going to the third room, there is a big kang on one side and a single bed on the other.
From what I saw, I already knew that Grandma Liu assigned rooms to the children according to their severity.
The first room contains three blind sisters who are completely unable to take care of themselves.
Sister Xiaofu and Sister Ahua in the second room can help Grandma Liu watch over the morning and ring the bell if necessary.
The children in the third room can go to special schools, and Grandma Liu won't have to worry too much about her daily life.
Here, I met little brother Qiqi and sister Xiaoyue.
Qiqi is an eight-year-old boy. He was born with a cleft lip and palate and a flat nose. From the root of his nose to his lips, his philtrum is completely open. Even his front teeth are unevenly sticking out of his philtrum.
There are also dents.
At first glance, you might think he looks a bit scary, but fortunately Qiqi has a lively personality and has no major problems except for unclear pronunciation.
I think he must have suffered a lot of unusual looks when he was growing up, and he would have been easily treated differently.
Even someone like me who is relatively well-informed feels trembling when I see him, let alone a kid who speaks so freely.
But even though Qiqi has low self-esteem, he doesn't show it. He likes to laugh very much and his eyes are very shy.
Seeing me looking at the arithmetic problems he was doing, Qiqi was embarrassed to say that he had failed in the math test in class.
"I could get 100 points in the exam, but because of my sloppiness, I got 98 points."
"It doesn't matter, let's sum up our experience and make persistent efforts."
I smiled and touched his head. The hard stubble seemed to pierce the tip of my heart, causing a stinging pain.
"Sister Xiaoying'er, are you a kind-hearted person like Sister Ali?"
"Sister Ali?"
I wondered, "Who is she?"
"that is……"
Qiqi scratched her head and tried to speak clearly, "When she came, she wouldn't take pictures of us, but she was very kind to us and would take me out to buy new clothes..."
"The Ali Qiqi mentioned is a volunteer."
A sister lying on the kang added softly, "Xiao Ying'er, what Qiqi means is that you, like Ali, came to see us without any fanfare and didn't need our cooperation. He thinks you are very kind.
As good as Sister Ali in his heart."
I smiled, and Qiqi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, you and Sister Ali are both kind and good people."
I didn't talk any more about this, but looked at Sister Xiaoyue who was lying on the kang. She was the oldest sister here.
Twenty-two years old, with pale cheeks and really skinny.
Lying on the kang, she was chatting with me while still wearing brightly colored plastic beads.
I heard from Grandma Liu that she was in a car accident when she was a child and was paralyzed from the chest down, without any consciousness.
However, Sister Xiaoyue is very skillful with her hands and can still earn pocket money by doing some handicrafts every day.
I started chatting with her and sat down by the kang. I also picked up the silk thread and started wearing it in a stylish way.
I think the bead bracelet that Xingxing gave me came from here, because Sister Xiaoyue had to pick out defective plastic beads while threading beads. The material boxes were piled on the edge of the kang, like building a hill in front of her.
.
Seeing that I was well dressed, Sister Xiaoyue smiled and thanked me. This sister is very smart and has great foresight.
Not only was she able to translate in real time for Qiqi who couldn't speak clearly, she was also able to keep an eye on the work in my hands. When she saw that my beads had reached the end, she crawled to the side and handed me the scissors, "Little
Ying'er, just cut it and tie it firmly. After it passes the inspection, you will be given ten cents for each bracelet."
I was slightly startled, and she continued with a smile, "I heard Grandma Liu talk about you last night. Xiao Ying'er, you are really capable. Those scoundrels didn't pay attention to anyone before. I didn't expect to be
You took care of it in a few moments, and we won't be afraid of Xingxing suffering from it in the future."
Oh, I smiled awkwardly, cut the thread and tied it like she did.
I dare not say that when she just crawled to get the scissors, the quilt covering her behind slipped.
When I raised my eyes for a moment, I saw her legs, which were as thin as two match sticks.
If there hadn't been a car accident, she should have been like me, but now...
The suffering in this world is really innovative, sir!
I tried my best to adjust my mood and continued chatting along with Sister Xiaoyue's words.
Seeing that I was getting used to it, Grandma Liu turned around and went to do other things.
She had to take care of the children in the first room very frequently, and would poop her pants if she wasn't careful.
Although there are two other grandmothers here besides Grandma Liu, the legs and feet of those two grandmothers are somewhat disadvantageous.
One of the grandma's back was severely stooped and could not do heavy work. Grandma Liu had to rely on herself as the main force.
During holidays, volunteers will also come to help with cleaning. Grandma Liu is very grateful when she mentions these.
Even if the children here are not in good health, at least they ensure that the residence is clean and tidy, and there is no odor on them.
Sister Xiaoyue, Xingxing and Chenchen all have poor autoimmunity, and a small cold can easily lead to big trouble.
Grandma Liu's sigh echoed in her mind, "No matter what, this is a human life. It's better to die than to live. I can serve them for one day, and let them live quietly for one day. After so many years,
If you come here, you will get through it."
I didn't respond. My throat has been blocked since I called.
It is said that it is difficult to grow up without poverty, and it is naive to fight against the old age.
When walking outside, most people are thinking about how to live a glorious life.
As everyone knows, some people even have problems with how to ‘live’.
What is real suffering?
You don't even have the strength to cry out, and your right to shout has been deprived of you.
I don't even know if it hurts anymore. This is suffering.
There seemed to be an invisible feather in the air. It was flying lightly and slowly landed in my heart, making ripples and causing thunderous sounds.
Fortunately, the lively and lovely Qiqi and the sweet-natured Xiaoyue are by my side.
I started wearing beads and gradually started to talk a little bit more.
While they were joking, Xingxing's voice sounded, "Sister Xiaoying'er, Xiaozhen is here!"
I looked over with a smile and met the most unique little girl in Tianxin Welfare Home.
