Volume 2 The Storm Chapter 4 New Year
This incident did not have much impact on the children's lives, they already eat and live in the welfare home, and they usually do not go out, but they have to do one more thing every day, that is, to take their temperature.
It wasn't until many years later that Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu realized how lucky they were back then, if they didn't live in a welfare home at that time, but were still begging on the streets, then their chances of surviving this disaster were really small.
After they finished eating, Tian Zhuo and the others took Xiaofeng Xiaoyu to play games and played together for a day. This can be said to be the happiest day since Xiaofeng Xiaoyu begging, no scolding, no bullying, no cross-eyebrows and cold faces, no kneeling and begging, you can eat a full meal, you can play to your heart's content, they play happily, they feel that this is the happiest place.
Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Dean Tian and the teachers took them to paste couplets, draw New Year's pictures, make dumplings, and they also received a lot of toys, comic books, stationery donated to them by caring people in the society, including two brand new school bags. Since Xiaofeng Xiaoyu is new, he has not yet taken classes, and he does not have a schoolbag, so these two schoolbags were naturally given to them, and Dean Tian also put some pencils, colored pencils, homework books and erasers and other stationery in the schoolbag for them to practice writing, but they were so happy that they couldn't put it down while holding the schoolbag.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Dean Tian originally planned to take the children to set off fireworks, but this year Zhengzhou banned fireworks and firecrackers, so he had to give up.
In the classroom on the first floor of the teaching building, all the seats and debris were pushed to the back of the classroom, and the children sat in a circle, and Dean Tian and the teachers were taking the children to play games.
"Okay kids, the game we're going to play this time is called Grab the Chairs, there are 14 of you in total, but there are only 13 chairs, what should we do? The rules of the game are very simple, let's put the chairs in a circle, what about you, circle around these chairs, when I shout stop, you quickly sit on the chairs, whoever does not sit on the chair, who will be eliminated, at the same time, but also remove another chair, until in the end there is only one chair left for two people, that is, to determine the last winner, the prize is this delicious lollipop, you see this lollipop is round and big, do you want to eat it?" Dean Tian took out a lollipop the size of a child's palm and tempted them.
"Yes!" the children said in unison.
"Okay, let's get started. ”
The five boys, plus three girls, plus four boys and two girls from the junior high school, a total of 14 people, began to spin around the chairs, while the disabled children and demented children watched from the side.
"Stop!"
As soon as Dean Tian's words fell, everyone hurried to grab the chair, only Xiaoyu was half a beat slower, did not grab the chair, pouted and pulled a chair to the side, Xiaofeng looked at her appearance and made up her mind.
After more than a dozen rounds of competition, there was only one chair left on the field, and Xiaofeng stood face to face with a junior high school boy.
"Boy, hurry up and admit defeat, I'll get half of the lollipop for you in a while. The junior high school boy looked down at Xiaofeng and said.
"No, I have to get that lollipop!" Xiao Feng said with his head tilted back and said with a stubborn face.
"Stop!" As soon as Dean Tian's words fell, Xiaofeng slammed into the chair, and even fell to the ground with the chair, and the junior high school boy quickly pulled him up.
"I won, I won. Xiaofeng didn't care about the pain, and shouted happily.
"Okay, this time you won, the lollipop will be given to you, but you can't do this in the future, what if you fall and get hurt. You must know that friendship comes first, safety comes first, and competition comes second. Dean Tian handed the lollipop to Xiao Feng and said earnestly.
Xiaofeng hurriedly nodded obediently, and then ran over with the lollipop and handed it to Xiao Yu, who was pouting, Xiao Yu smiled at this time, she didn't eat it, but put the lollipop into her pocket preciously.
There was a chorus of boos at the scene.
"Xiaoyu, your brother is so good to you. Yuan Yueyue said.
Xiaoyu squinted her eyes and smiled.
"Okay, our next game is a multiple of seven, what does it mean, that is, start counting from below 7, and shout when you meet a number with 7 or can be divided by 7, such as 7, 14, 17 and other numbers, whoever shouts wrong, will be eliminated, or the old rule, to determine the last winner, you can get a reward, so let's start. ”
Soon, Xiaoyu was eliminated by the first one again, pouting and sitting aside, and the second one who was eliminated was Xiaofeng, pouting and sitting on the side with Xiaoyu. The two of them can count some simple numbers, and they can still count in their teens and twenties, but they can't add, subtract, multiply and divide, so they were quickly eliminated.
The winner quickly competed, and it was the junior high school boy who had just fought with Xiaofeng to the end.
"Children, let's do the third game now, there is no reward for this game, but there will be punishment. Dean Tian smiled slightly.
"Huh?" the children cried out in surprise with their mouths wide open.
"This game is called Lost Handkerchief, and many children have played it, but this time there are new children, so I will talk about the rules. Everyone sits in a circle, a child holding a handkerchief while singing in a circle behind everyone, quietly placed behind a child, and then run around everyone twice to quickly sit in their position, if the child who let go of the handkerchief is found, you have to get up to catch the classmate, the classmate is caught and start again, if not caught, the child who was thrown the handkerchief will stand in the middle to tell everyone a joke or story. Let him throw the handkerchief again, do you understand?"
"Understood. ”
The first person to throw the handkerchief was Liu Chong, Xiaofeng was sitting on his right, Liu Chong thought that Xiaofeng must not have played, so he stood up directly and quietly put it behind him, and then pretended to be casual and turned around twice and sat in his place, then everyone reacted, and quickly looked behind him, Xiaofeng also saw the handkerchief behind him, and then picked up the handkerchief and looked at Liu Chong in surprise.
"Tell stories, tell stories. "The kids started to laugh.
Xiaofeng was not stage frightened, and stood in the middle of the circle to tell everyone a story.
"Once, Xiaoyu and I went to the street to beg, and a person passed in front of us, and when he was digging out his things, his wallet suddenly dropped, and he didn't see it, and then walked forward, I quickly went to pick it up and ran over and shouted Uncle and uncle, your wallet has dropped. The man looked back, quickly touched his pocket, found that his wallet really fell, snatched the wallet, and then kicked me down, and said that I stole his wallet, Xiaoyu hurriedly came over and said that I didn't steal it, it was picked up, the man didn't believe it, and wanted to beat me, at this time the boss of the commissary next to me came out to clarify to me, saying that the wallet was really dropped by himself, he said that he counted the money in the wallet, if it was missing, I would die, and then he counted the money in the wallet, and said that there was less than twenty yuan, it must have been stolen by me, and he wanted to beat me, but when he saw someone next to him, he didn't fight, he took twenty yuan from my bowl and left, and said that I was a thief while walking, but I really didn't take his money, the boss of the commissary next to me saw that we were pitiful, so he gave me and Xiaoyu a chocolate candy, the chocolate candy is sweet, I still remember the boss, he is a good person, hehe. ”
"That's too annoying, how can that person wronged you, really. ”
"yes, how can there be such a person. ”
"Okay students, thank you Xiaofeng for the wonderful story you have brought to everyone, then the game will continue. Dean Tian hurriedly stopped the students.
The game went smoothly and several students told jokes and fables.
After Yuan Yueyue lost this time, she told everyone a story about the wolf coming, and then when it came to the link where she lost the handkerchief, she quietly put the handkerchief behind Xiaoyu, Xiaofeng hurriedly gave Xiaoyu a look, Xiaoyu touched the handkerchief backwards, and quickly got up to chase Yuan Yueyue, Yuan Yueyue was thin and small, and she didn't run slowly, Xiaoyu chased two laps and didn't catch up.
There was no way, Xiaoyu had to stand in the middle of the circle and tell everyone the story.
"I once I went to beg separately from Xiaofeng, I asked for a lot of money that day, on the way home at night, Xiaofeng's brother said that he would definitely be beaten when he went back this time, I asked him what I was, he said that the money he asked for this time was very small, and his father would definitely not be able to spare him when he went back, oh, it was that trafficker, he was a bad person. I quietly took out a large handful of money from my pocket and stuffed it into his pocket, he didn't find out, after going back in the evening, the traffickers saw that my money was very small, so they didn't allow me to eat, Xiaofeng's brother said that I gave him the money, so my money was so small, the traffickers didn't believe it, and said that Xiaofeng lied, and then neither of us had dinner that night. Hehe, do you think we are stupid, there was one person who could eat, but both of us were hungry that day, hehe. ”
"You two are stupid not to help each other, but you are not going to take the money to buy some food yourself? Liu Chong asked.
"No, no, once I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, Brother Xiaofeng secretly took a dollar to buy two steamed buns for me to eat, but the traffickers saw it and beat us both severely, and said that whoever stole money in the future would be beaten to death, and we never did it again. Besides, it's not right to steal. Xiaoyu said seriously.
After another hour or two, everyone went back to the dormitory to sleep.
Wake up early the next morning, after washing up in the light wind and light rain, they go to the canteen to eat, the canteen is made of dumplings they made last night, of course, most of them are made by teachers and chefs, and the children have strange shapes and shapes, and the number is relatively small.
While everyone was eating dumplings, Dean Tian came in with his hands behind his back.
"Guess what I went to, kids?" said Dean Tian with a mysterious smile.
"Red envelopes!" the children said in unison, only Xiaofeng and Xiaoyu sat there in a daze, not knowing what was going on.
"Guess right, come, you all press the New Year's money, one for each person, everyone has a share. ”
After taking the red envelopes in turn, the children happily sat in their seats and couldn't wait to open the red envelopes.
