On Christmas Day, Ye Chen took Jiang Rou to a welfare home called Sunflower

Ye Chen bought a lot of stationery and snacks, and the two of them took a long car with large bags and small bags to get there.

The orphanage is on the outskirts of the city, and the surroundings look very dilapidated, the asphalt road is covered with a thin layer of yellow dust, and when the wind blows, it swirls in front of shops, banks and post offices. There was a monotonous sound of the flower machine across the road,

Jiang Rou: "Senior, have you been here before?"

Ye Chen: "Yes, when I was a freshman or sophomore, I was a member of the Youth Volunteer Association, and I often went to places like welfare homes and nursing homes. ”

Jiang Rou was surprised in her heart, "It turns out that the senior is very enthusiastic about public welfare activities"

Ye Chen smiled: "It's okay, it's quite happy to do this." ”

Jiang Rou: "Are you happy because you help others?"

Ye Chen: "Not all, they also helped me"

"Huh?

Ye Chen: "It gave me empathy and learned what it means to care for humanity, instead of being a cold observer"

Ye Chen began to laugh after speaking, "Suddenly it started to become crepe again"

Jiang Rou also smiled, "You're really great"

Jiang Rou silently recited his name a few times in her heart, Ye Chen, Ye Chen, only felt that the spring rain had fallen in her heart, light and thin.

After entering the welfare home, Ye Chen went to the dean with ease and handed over the things he brought to her.

The abbot was a nun in her 50s, with a black veil on her head, a very religious black robe, and a silver cross around her neck.

Sister Wang Lin was very happy to see Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you are here"

Ye Chen used to be very active in the K University Youth Volunteer Association, brought many people to the Sunflower Welfare Institute, and organized several material donation activities at the school, and Sister Wang Lin was very impressed by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen: "Yes, today Christmas, come and see you." This is my classmate Jiang Rou."

Sister Wang Lin showed a kind smile at Jiang Rou, "Hello Jiang Rou"

Jiang Rou responded with a smile, "Hello"

Ye Chen saw the decorated Christmas tree in the yard and said with a smile: "Today I am Santa Claus who came to deliver gifts"

Jiang Rou: "What about me?"

Ye Chen: "You are a reindeer"

Jiang Rou pinched Ye Chen

Sister Wang Lin brought tea to the two of them,

Ye Chen was in a good mood, and he kept a smile on his face: "Sister Wang Lin, is there anything you need my help with?"

Sister Wang Lin did not shirk: "For today's festival, we bought dozens of catties of fruits and vegetables outside, and everyone else went to help get them, you can go and help." ”

Ye Chen: "Is it still where it used to be?"

Sister Wang Lin nodded, and she said to Jiang Rou, "Jiang Rou, can you play with the children in our welfare home for a while?"

Jiang Rou felt very novel, and was happy in her heart: "Okay"

The yard is not big, and there are groups of children in the yard, all ages. Some are playing marbles, smashing sandbags, and some are playing game cards. Jiang Rou saw a little girl sitting alone on a small bench under the eaves, and she walked over and sat next to her

Jiang Rou: "Little friend, why are you sitting here alone?"

The little girl did not speak

She was a small, thin, pale little thing, with long braided hair and a precocious look on her face.

Jiang Rou took out a chocolate from her pocket and handed it to the little girl, "Sister, please eat candy, you won't be unhappy after eating, what's your name?"

The little girl looked up at Jiang Rou and reached out to take the candy, "Thank you, sister", "My name is Yu Wei"

Jiang Rou: "Do you have any wishes for Christmas?"

Little girl: "I want a new school bag"

Jiang Rou: "It will come true, because Santa Claus brought you gifts today"

Little girl: "Santa Claus is a liar"

Jiang Rou touched her head, "Do you know Brother Ye Chen, he brought you a gift today."

The little girl sighed, "Brother Ye Chen, I remember him, he often comes"

The little girl spoke as if she was squeezing toothpaste, asking and answering, Jiang Rou did not lose patience, and was still talking to her seriously.

Jiang Rou: "Little friend, why don't you look happy today?"

Little Girl: "It's Christmas"

Jiang Rou didn't understand, "Why should I be unhappy at Christmas?"

"Because there is no God," the little girl peeled off the candy wrapper and put the chocolate in her mouth

"Since I was a nun, my mother taught us to read the Bible and pray, but none of my wishes came true."

Jiang Rou rubbed her head and said in a gentle tone: "How could it not be realized, you are going to receive a new schoolbag today"

The little girl chuckled, "Lie to you, my Christmas wish is not this"

"What's that?"

At this time, the sun was just right, and the clouds in the sky were as bright as if they were trimmed with silver, and they floated leisurely in the gentle wind.

Yu Wei looked at the sky, as if he hadn't heard Jiang Rou's question, and didn't speak

Jiang Rou was quietly accompanying her beside her

The sun is warm, and it stretches out its warm hand, rubbing it comfortably.

I don't know how long it was quiet, Yu Wei said loudly, "I want Mom and Dad"

"It's Christmas and Santa Claus won't bring my mom and dad to me. Every year. ”

The little girl's face was expressionless, and she couldn't see her joy or anger

Jiang Rou was dumbfounded, a little distressed by this precocious child, "Yu Wei, do you feel lonely?"

Jiang Rou gently patted her back, "Although Mom and Dad are not by your side, there are many people around you who care about you like Mom and Dad."

Yu Wei laughed,

"Will anyone care about me as much as Mom and Dad do?"

Jiang Rou: "Mother nun cares about you, your good friends also care about you, volunteers like Brother Ye Chen also care about you, the love you get from them may be limited, not as much as your parents, but everyone loves you from the bottom of their hearts and wants you to be happy." ”

Yu Wei shook her head, she understood the truth, but she was just lonely and uncomfortable.

Mother nuns are many mothers of nuns, and their good friends will also have many other good friends, only parents are exclusive, the most unique, they are the most special existence. There is an unbreakable connection

Yu Wei has never seen her parents since she was a child, and her mind is blank for the two images of father and mother, but she knows that this is an unbreakable connection.

Jiang Rou's words stirred Yu Wei's emotions, and she shook her head a little melancholy, "I'm just a dispensable person, one of many orphans, and no one will pay attention to whether I'm happy or not." ”

Jiang Rou hugged her: "My sister has paid attention to you, I don't want you to be unhappy"

Yu Wei couldn't say what she felt in her heart, she had never said so much to others. The nun's mother was always busy, her classmates laughed at her for being a wild child, and the volunteers who came here also delivered things and left in a hurry, no one would sit down and chat quietly with a little girl like this. "I want to be happy, but it's hard for me. ”

Jiang Rou was a little distressed, she couldn't estimate how many psychological problems an orphan would face, how lonely she would be, "Yu Wei, happiness is sometimes more than just getting. You may get very little affection, but it's not the only way to be happy. Compared with being cared for and pampered by others, taking the initiative to care for others can also achieve happiness, and sometimes giving more strength to you than to receive. ”

Yu Wei chewed this sentence silently, can giving more strength than gaining?

She raised her head and glanced at Jiang Rou seriously, "You are such a weird person, how can anyone say such strange things to a child"

Jiang Rou smiled: "Are you a little happier now?" You're not just a child."

Yu Wei raised his head, "It's okay now."

Jiang Rou: "I'll play with you for a while, play marbles, play game cards or smash sandbags?"

Yu Wei pouted: "Childish"

Jiang Rou tickled Yu Wei, "Dead child, you were so obedient just now, you pretended to be?"

The two burst into laughter

Jiang Rou dragged her to throw the sandbag

A few small figures ran around in the sun, laughing constantly.

Ye Chen was tidying up things in the kitchen, and Yu Wei was sitting on the bench outside the kitchen

Through the window, Ye Chen listened to the whole conversation

He felt as if he had fallen completely......

Jiang Rou spent a whole day in the Sunflower Welfare Home

Yu Wei stuck to her like a little tail

Jiang Rou and Ye Chen took Yu Wei to a nearby mall to buy her a schoolbag

Nike's classic model also bought Yu Wei a new dress

As the sun set, Jiang Rou and Ye Chen were leaving

Yu sent them to the station

Under the sun, Jiang Rou's face was covered with a soft afterglow, and Yu Wei felt very beautiful when she looked at it.

When she arrived at the stop sign, Jiang Rou said softly to Yu Wei, "Don't send Yu Wei, go back quickly."

Yu Wei pretended not to care, "I'm just here for a walk"

Jiang Rou smiled and rubbed her head, "I'll come to see you often."

"Let's pull a hook, shall we?"

"Okay"

"Pull the hook, hang yourself, don't cheat for a hundred years, we'll stamp it"

The bus came by

Yu Wei watched the bus take the two away.

It's okay, Jiang Rou. Even if you forget to come, it's okay, I'll still like you.

In the evening, the children of the welfare home lined up to sing hymns in praise of God, and the auditorium of the welfare home was full, and Sister Wang Lin played the piano to accompaniment

Yu Wei is also in the choir, and the children's chorus floats in the air, and the singing is holy and ethereal, like Kagura from heaven

"Amazing grace

How sweet

My sins have been forgiven

Before I was lost

Now it has been found

The blind see now

Such grace awes me

……

Grace and friendship for thousands of years

Praise with joy before the father's seat

I look forward to that day soon

”

Yu Wei prayed silently in his heart

Thank God

It was the most perfect Christmas she ever had.
