Chapter 330: Huang Wenlan, the director of the welfare home
The memories in his brain were replayed scene by scene like a movie, and Ye Luo muttered: "It's still there, it's good." ”
Because of the temporary thought, Ye Luo, who had nothing to prepare with empty hands, was embarrassed to go in, just when he turned around and was about to leave.
A kind voice suddenly came from behind him: "Xiao Yezi? It's Xiao Yezi, right?"
Ye Luo stopped the foot that had just taken a step, turned to look, and found that the door had been opened at this time, and there was an old woman in her sixties standing at the door, with a little excitement and surprise in her eyes, looking at herself with a kind face.
The old man in front of him is Huang Wenlan, the director of the welfare home, and he is also the person who is really regarded as a relative by Ye Luo!
Seeing the dean's grandmother, Ye Luo hurriedly stepped forward, subconsciously held the old man's arm with both hands, and said with a smile: "Grandma, how are you doing lately?"
"I'm still strong. ”
The old grandmother smiled happily, and then walked to the door with Ye Luo: "You haven't been back for more than half a year, come on, come in with me, your younger brothers and sisters will definitely be very happy if they see you." ”
"Eh, don't worry, go slowly. Although Huang Wenlan is over sixty years old, his legs and feet are still neat, and he is not to the point where he needs to be supported, Ye Luo is just a matter of habit.
After helping Huang Wenlan into the welfare home, Ye Luo looked at everything he was familiar with, and he was also very excited.
You must know that this is the place where he has lived for several years, and it is also here that he can experience the care and warmth of his relatives, so that he can come out of the grief of losing his parents.
At this time, a group of children who were playing in the courtyard of the welfare home saw the figure of the dean's grandmother and Ye Luo, and one of the girls who was about twelve or thirteen years old said excitedly: "Ah, it's Brother Ye Luo, Brother Ye Luo is back." ”
This sentence was like a trumpet, and the children gathered around, and no one spoke, only staring at him with big eyes.
Ye Luo looked at the girl in front of him who was less than her chest, let go of the hand supporting Huang Wenlan, touched her head, and a trace of pity appeared in her eyes: "Xiao Wenwen, do you miss me?"
The girl's name is Lin Wenwen, she grew up in an orphanage since she was a child, she has a cheerful personality, when she was six or seven years old, Ye Luo came to live in a welfare home, and then slowly became familiar with her, Ye Luo regarded her as his sister.
No, it should be said that all the children younger than me in the welfare home are my younger brothers and sisters.
The welfare home is like a big family, but unlike those rich families, there is no deceit here, and there is the warmth of a big family.
"Mmmmmm, I miss Brother Ye Luo very much, I thought I would never see you again. Lin Wenwen kept nodding her little head with red eyes, and even hugged Ye Luo's waist and refused to let go.
Ye Luo touched Lin Wenwen's head, and then his eyes fell on the children around him, and familiar names kept coming out of his mouth.
And these children who were called by their names were also very happy, looking at Lin Wenwen, the 'eldest sister', who was dominating Ye Luo alone at this time, if it weren't for her 'fierceness' for fear of being cleaned up, it is estimated that they would have pounced on her.
Most of the children are familiar with it, but a third of them have no impression at all.
He found that the youngest children, who were two or three years old, and the oldest were six or seven years old, looked at him as if they were guarded, and did not dare to approach him at all.
Huang Wenlan similarly knew the doubts in Ye Luo's heart, and took the initiative to explain: "Several of them have been sent one after another in the past six months since you left, and the latest one has only been here for less than a week. ”
It may be that the relatives met Ye Luo too happy, causing him not to notice the changes in the children, and now when he and the new children were wearing thin clothes, and then looked at Lin Wenwen, these children were also wearing thin clothes, and immediately found out that something was wrong, frowned and asked: "Grandma, the weather is still so cold now, why do the children wear so little?" What if they catch a cold?"
“......”
Huang Wenlan was silent for a while, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, his face was bitter.
Seeing the bitter look on his grandmother's face, Ye Luo was a little anxious and said, "Grandma, tell me, is there something wrong with the welfare home?"
Huang Wenlan didn't want the welfare institute to cause trouble or burden to Ye Luo, so he forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "The welfare home is fine, you don't have to worry, grandma will take care of it." ”
Ye Luo knew his grandmother's personality and knew that she didn't want to tell herself, so no matter how he asked, if he didn't tell himself, he would definitely not tell himself.
Although grandma doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that he can't figure it out.
At this time, all the children lowered their heads one by one, and their emotions were not as high as before, as if they had been wronged.
So, Ye Luo paid Lin Wenwen's attention: "Xiao Wenwen, you are a big child now, you tell your brother, has anything happened to the welfare home recently?"
After hearing Ye Luo's words, Lin Wenwen looked up at the dean's grandmother meaningfully, and after being glared at by her grandmother, she lowered her head again.
After perceiving this scene, Ye Luo touched Lin Wenwen's little head and said softly: "Xiao Wenwen, you don't have to worry about grandma, you tell your brother what happened." ”
Lin Wenwen raised her head again, and after hesitating for a moment under Ye Luo's encouraging gaze, she plucked up her courage and said: "Brother Ye Luo, when I went to look for grandma before, I heard grandma calling someone else at the door, grandma and that person talked a lot, I didn't hear what I was talking about, I only heard grandma say that now the welfare home can no longer accommodate more children, don't send people to the welfare home again." ”
"Grandma, if I'm not mistaken, our welfare home is private, right?"
Ye Luo's brows almost wrinkled into the word 'Sichuan', and he turned his head to Huang Wenlan and asked: "The conditions of our welfare institute cannot be compared with those welfare homes of government nature, I remember that when I was still here, our welfare institute did not receive any more children, why did I just leave for half a year, and the welfare institute accepted more than ten children at once?"
"Alas...... Originally, I didn't plan to let you know, but I didn't expect to let you know. ”
Huang Wenlan sighed and said with a wry smile: "So far, I won't hide it from you." I don't know exactly what the situation is, I only know that those children were sent from those government welfare homes, and I naturally know the situation of our welfare homes, and you also know that our welfare homes usually rely on the help of some caring people, as well as the financial support of those children who go from the welfare homes to survive. ”
"Are those government welfare homes fake?"
Ye Luo was indignant: "They have to bear greater responsibilities when they enjoy government funding, instead of letting us take on these responsibilities that do not belong to us for them, isn't this forcing our private welfare homes with no income to death?"
"No, little leaf, you misunderstood. Huang Wenlan shook his head and said.
Ye Luo said with a stunned face: "Grandma, I heard me right, right? You said I misunderstood?"
"Yes, you did misunderstand, things are not as you imagined. ”
Huang Wenlan nodded, and then took the initiative to give Ye Luo
Explained: "These children were indeed sent from there, but they greeted me before sending the children, you may not know, our welfare home has not adopted a child for several years, not that we don't want to take it, but by the government-run welfare home to adopt it, in order to share the pressure on us private welfare homes with no income." ”
"It's just that in recent years, there have been more and more orphans, so those welfare homes have been unable to accommodate them, so they have to send their children to our welfare homes. ”
Speaking of this, Huang Wenlan's face, which always showed a kind face, became extremely serious: "Although it is not easy for us to raise Xiao Wenwen in the welfare home, we can't raise more children, but I can't watch these dozen children homeless." ”
"I know that adopting these children will make our already overwhelmed welfare home even more precarious, we adults usually eat less, wear less fine, even if we have wronged ourselves, we can't wronged these children, you have to know that they are still young, I really can't bear it!"
"......" Ye Luo was silent for a moment.
He found that he couldn't comment on right and wrong, and he couldn't blame the leaders of the government-run welfare home, if it wasn't really a last resort, they would definitely not send the child, and besides, they kept asking about the situation of the welfare home before sending it.
Of course, he can't blame Grandma Dean, maybe in the eyes of other people, Grandma Dean is 'looking for nothing', but in her own eyes, she is more inclined to do what she can.
Ye Luo has lived in the welfare home for several years, and naturally knows that his grandmother is like a grandchild to all the children, no matter what kind of requirements the children make, she will try her best to do it, even if it will make life in the welfare home more difficult.
"Hoo ......"
After being silent for a while, Ye Luo exhaled deeply, as if he had made some decision in his heart, and said to Huang Wenlan, the dean's grandmother: "Grandma, although you don't say it, I can guess that the current situation in our welfare home is not optimistic, right?"
Huang Wenlan didn't answer, just reddened his eyes, and said with a look of self-reproach: "It's grandma who is useless." ”
Looking at the very sad grandmother in front of him, Ye Luo felt uncomfortable.
In his memory, no matter what kind of difficulties he encountered, the dean's grandmother always showed kindness on her face, and then quietly solved the matter.
At that time, Ye Luo, who was twelve or thirteen years old, was still a half-old child and didn't understand it at all.
Now that he has grown up, he has understood how hard and difficult it is for his grandmother to take on all the things by herself in order to raise them.
For what?
It's not for them to grow up happily!
In this world, there are only a few people who can really make Ye Luo care except for his women Scarlett.
Dean Huang Wenlan is definitely one of them!
Now that the situation in the welfare home is already very critical, Ye Luo naturally can't watch it: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about the welfare home, don't worry, leave this matter to me." ”
If you are poor in a situation that requires money like this, you will definitely be powerless even if you want to help.
And for people like Ye Luo, who are not short of money, as long as they can solve things with money, it is not a problem.
