Chapter 427: The Spring Festival of 1988 (4000+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
Where are you from, my friend
It was as if a butterfly flew into my window
I don't know how many days I can stay
We have been separated for too long
.......
On TV, Mao Amin was wearing a golden jacket with a white T-shirt underneath, twisting a posture that made Wu Jianye feel a little awkward, and singing "Missing".
This is the Spring Festival Gala in 1988, compared with the Spring Festival Gala in previous years, this Spring Festival Gala seems to be a little less interesting, the more classic is the sentence of Niu Qun: Leader, colon.......
And this year's New Year in the courtyard is also very different from previous years.
Yan Wen and Zhou Tao's family did not come back, Xiangjiang's affairs were too busy, even for the Chinese New Year, the two did not have more time to rest.
But if you want to say that it is not lively, it is not too much, a Wu Nianyi filled the whole courtyard with laughter, and the three old men almost circled around him with a small jumping bean.
Soon there was the sound of firecrackers outside, and the little guy squeaked and pointed outside, not afraid of the sound of firecrackers, so he wanted to go and see.
So Wu Jianye was sent out by his mother to set off firecrackers.
lit a cigarette, held it in his hand, and had already set up firecrackers in the courtyard outside, and after Wu saw that he had finished lighting it at night, he quickly fled the scene, lifted the cotton curtain, and hid in the house.
Through the window, you can see the crackling firecrackers outside, and the occasional sound of hitting the window, and the little guy is watching a silly music.
"Eat dumplings!" At night, the little guy was coaxed to sleep by Zhu Yan, and it was time to eat dumplings again.
The family happily ate a dumpling, and this year can be regarded as over.
By the next day, there were fewer people on the streets, apparently hiding under the covers at home, and they hadn't gotten up yet.
Wu Jianye drove the car and started to give gifts in Sijiu City again, there was no way, in Yanjing, he couldn't stay long, he would fly to Xiangjiang in two days, Gong Zhen's due date was approaching, he had to be on the scene.
For this kind of thing, Wu Jian has not much resistance to the night, because more of everyone's feelings are very good, unlike later generations, as soon as the New Year arrives, they will receive WeChat bombardment, dozens of people and hundreds of people, and send congratulations on WeChat, at most there are more than a dozen, all of which are copied and pasted.
Technology has made human development progress, but it has made people more distant from each other.
Even when eating, everyone has a mobile phone, although everyone sits together to eat, they chat with other people, and when they really sit with those people, they chat with their current friends.
It's as if you don't know how to communicate without your phone.
After three days of busy work in Yanjing, Wu Jianye drove to the Shimen City Welfare Orphanage again!
At this time, the orphanage has long undergone major changes from the past, and the once precarious three-story building has become a brand new campus, with a campus for classes and dormitories for orphans.
There were also more security guards at the door, so when Wu Jianye came to the orphanage, he was stopped by the security guard at the door.
"Hello, what do you do?" the security guard politely asked Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Hello, I'm here to find Dean Gu!"
"Okay, then please wait a while, I'll call Dean Gu to confirm, by the way, please ask your name!" asked the security guard dutifully.
"My name is Wu Jianye!" Wu Jianye smiled.
After hearing Wu Jianye's name, the security guard immediately showed a surprised smile: "It turns out that you are Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, please come in, please come in!"
Although the security guard only came to work in the orphanage, he also knew that the reason why this orphanage could undergo earth-shaking changes was because of Wu Jianye's appearance, but he didn't expect Wu Jianye to come over just after the New Year.
"It's okay, how about it? It's hard to let you stay here for the New Year!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
"It's okay, we are from the nearby village, Dean Gu gave us a holiday in the evening, and he gave us double our salary this month, it's too late to be happy!" said the security guard with a proud face.
He had reason to be proud, when he was in the village before, he could only rely on his own one-third of an acre of land to support himself all year round.
But now it's different, when I come here to become a security guard, the children in the yard are all sensible and good children, and I am very proud to see myself saluting and saying thank you.
And the salary here is also higher than outside, the salary of 80 yuan per month is higher than the salary of my cousin who works in the city, such a good place, but there are many to find.
It's just that the only thing that makes the security guards feel a little uncomfortable is that they often hear the cries of children outside in the middle of the night, and these cries are the voices of abandoned children.
As the reputation of the orphanage gets better and better, some people who want to abandon their children also regard the orphanage as their first choice, and those who don't want to have children will be sent to the orphanage.
So during this time, the orphanage received abandoned children almost every day.
The security guard opened the gate for Wu Jianye, and Wu Jianye drove the car and the two big trucks behind him slowly drove into the orphanage, and the courtyard of the orphanage was also brand new at this time, with the latest place for children to play.
Wu Jianye also saw a few snowmen who didn't look good, but had a very familiar feeling.
A big snowdrift on a small snowdrift and a small snowball is a snowman, and some snowmen have two small pieces of coal in their eyes, and there is a broom standing next to it as an arm.
When Wu Jianye came to the orphanage, it was more than ten o'clock in the morning, and the children had already gotten up, and many children were playing in the yard at this time.
Looking at the new clothes they were wearing, and the innocent smiles on their faces, this made Wu Jianye feel very relieved.
It's like a spiritual harbor for Wu Jianye.
"Xiaoqing, come here!" Wu Jianye got out of the car, squatted on the ground, and shouted at the children.
Xiao Qing was wearing a pink hat at this time, the kind that covered his ears, his little face was red from the cold, and then he was wearing a new down jacket with gloves in his hand, and he was playing snowball fights with the children in the yard.
After seeing Wu Jianye, Xiao Qing showed a happy smile: "Big brother!"
Wearing new cotton shoes, stepping on the snow, making a creaking sound, and running over happily.
Wu Jianye hugged Xiaoqing directly and said with a smile: "You still know me!"
Xiaoqing said shyly: "Of course, the dean's father said that the eldest brother is our great benefactor, let us remember the eldest brother!"
At this time, Dean Gu also walked out, and when he saw Wu Jianye, he was also very happy: "Mr. Wu, why did you come here so early?"
At this time, Dean Gu is no longer as rickety as before, although the clothes he wears are still old clothes, his mental outlook is very different.
Wu Jianye smiled: "Isn't this the New Year, come and give some gifts to the children!"
After speaking, he pointed to the two trucks behind him and asked the entourage to take the gifts from the trucks to the house.
Dean Gu hurriedly said: "Come on, don't bring gifts, there is everything here, during the Chinese New Year, the person who manages the fund will prepare the food and clothes for the children for the New Year." ”
A few years ago, Wu Jianye had already ordered the people of the Tianchi Foundation to prepare all the things that the children would use for the New Year.
Wu Jianye smiled: "It's a gift for everyone, so that the children are happy!"
To tell the truth, now the orphanage is really not short of food, nor lack of clothing, food can be purchased in the surrounding area, because of the existence of the orphanage, now the farmers' market around the orphanage is also booming, as for the children to wear, every time the season changes, the splendid clothing will send the children's clothes.
Let's put it this way, the children in the orphanage now have better food and clothing than some children in the city.
Now if the children in the orphanage go out, they will definitely be the envy of many children.
Holding Xiaoqing, with Dean Gu to his room, Dean Gu's house has not changed, it is still the same as before, according to Dean Gu, it is used to living here.
Now Dean Gu no longer needs to worry about the children's lives, and in the management of the orphanage, there is also a professional management team brought by the Tianchi Foundation, and Dean Gu is now playing more of a supervisory role.
After Dean Gu thanked Wu Jianye again, the two chatted.
Wu Jianye asked Dean Gu about the situation of the orphanage during this time.
"It doesn't get any better than now, now that the kids have heating in the winter, fans in the summer, and they can go to school, it doesn't get much better than that. Dean Gu said movingly.
Thinking back to two years ago, he had to go to great lengths to pray for the children to eat a bite of meat during the New Year, and now the children can eat meat every meal, and there are new clothes when the seasons change, he always feels that he has spent more than a year in a dream.
"Is there anything going on in the city?" asked Wu Jianye.
When the orphanage was just rebuilt before, Wu Jianye had some problems with Shimen City, so he asked such a question at this time.
Dean Gu smiled: "No, the leaders of the city are also very concerned about us, and they even came to take a look at it during the Chinese New Year!"
Wu Jianye nodded, this is the same as the news he got, although he had some conflicts with Shimen City because of the orphanage before, but the achievements of the orphanage really fell on the heads of these leaders, so they did not have any aftermath of the autumn.
The two sides have always been at peace.
However, the report I saw was still different from hearing Dean Gu say it in person.
"Xiaoqing, I heard that you have started school, how are your grades?" Wu Jianye hugged Xiaoqing and asked gently.
Xiaoqing had already gone to school last year, in the first grade, in a school run by an orphanage.
Xiao Qing showed a proud look: "Every time I am the first in the class, every time Xiaopang says that he wants to surpass me, he can't do it every time!"
"Haha, it's still Xiaoqing!" Wu Jianye laughed.
In this life, Xiaoqing is destined to walk out of a different life path from the previous life.
Then Dean Gu rubbed his hands and said to Wu Jianye with some embarrassment: "Mr. Wu, there is still something I want to tell you." ”
Wu Jianye asked, "Is there something wrong with those people who are in charge?"
Dean Gu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's actually like this......" Speaking of this, Dean Gu glanced at Xiaoqing and said, "Xiaoqing, go out and play with the children, I'll talk to your big brother about something." ”
"Oh. Xiaoqing nodded obediently.
Then Dean Gu told Wu Jianye about the fact that more and more people were sending children here.
"With the arrival of more and more children, many of them are just babies, the manpower to take care of the babies in our yard is a little stretched, and some of the children are sent to be sick, so going to the hospital is a big expense, I am worried about ......."
Wu Jianye understood, it turned out that as the reputation of the orphanage became more and more famous, more and more children were sent, and it was obvious that the expenses in the orphanage were getting more and more.
Nowadays, there are more than 300 children in the orphanage, not counting the medical treatment, that is, the normal monthly expenses are about 20,000 yuan, and many children are abandoned by their parents because of their illnesses, and it is another expense to save these children.
So now the orphanage's monthly expenses have exceeded 30,000 yuan, and now a normal worker's monthly salary is only more than 70 to 100.
The most important thing is that as the reputation of the orphanage becomes more and more famous, more and more children will definitely be sent in the future, and the expenses will naturally increase.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Dean Gu, don't worry, the scale of the Tianchi Fund is very large, and they won't take this money to heart." ”
Dean Gu said embarrassedly: "I always feel that this is not good, I have also discussed with them, if it is not good, let the older children go out to collect waste or something, and you can also subsidize the orphanage......."
Wu Jianye hurriedly said: "Dean Gu, don't say that the people of the Tianchi Fund can't agree to this matter, even if they do, I can't agree either, the children are still young, the most important thing is to learn knowledge, don't worry about making money." ”
Dean Gu sighed: "I really don't know how to thank you!"
Wu Jianye smiled: "Say this and you'll see the outside!"
"There is another thing, that is, some sick children were sent, after we helped to cure the disease, their parents came to ask for the child again, such a thing has happened more than once, you say not to return the child to them, after all, it is the child's biological parents, if their family conditions are really bad, we should help and help, but some families are obviously ......."
Speaking of this, Dean Gu showed a trace of helplessness.
Wu Jianye also understood, this is to see the orphanage become bigger, and some people want to come over to fish in troubled waters.
"Are there many people like this?" asked Wu Jianye.
"It's not much, it's happened four or five times a year, and by the way, there is one more in these two days. ”
