Chapter 16: Cleaning the Chicken Coop (Part II)
The chicken coop of the welfare home is not big, there is a small piece of land in the farm behind the playground, there are more than 20 chickens in it, and the children of the welfare home will take turns to clean it every day, so the chicken coop is relatively clean.
After the three arrived, Huang Yuanyuan first drove the chickens to the corner, and then picked up a broom to sweep the on the ground. Huang Yanru was holding a bucket on the side, so that Huang Yuanyuan could easily sweep the into the bucket.
The two cooperated very tacitly, Huang Liangliang on the side had nothing to do, she looked at you for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Huang Yanru looked up at her and replied with a smile: "Just look at it, there is not much work here, Sister Yuanyuan and I will be able to finish it soon." After saying this, he seemed to remember something, and his little face immediately became very serious, "By the way, you must not go to the chicken coop, it is a place where the aunt can enter, and Aunt Chen, who is in charge of managing this side, will come over to pick up the eggs after a while, if you see us in the chicken coop, you must be scolded." β
Huang Liangliang nodded thoughtfully, probably understanding the reason, the aunt in this courtyard thought that they were afraid that their children would accidentally break the precious eggs, or that they would be greedy to hide one or two eggs, after all, these eggs belonged to the welfare institute and were to be taken out for money.
While the three of them were talking, a woman in her thirties wearing a blue cloth overalls came in the direction of the chicken coop, and Huang Liangliang stood right opposite the door of the chicken coop. The two immediately understood, so they immediately silenced themselves, and just buried their heads in their work.
The woman quickly walked to the chicken coop, saw the three people, frowned slightly, swept her eyes on Huang Liangliang's face, and asked, "You are not among the people who cleaned the chicken coop today, right?"
Huang Liangliang immediately showed a well-behaved appearance and replied: "Aunt Chen, my name is Huang Liangliang, and I know that my sisters are coming to clean the chicken coop, so I want to come over together to help......"
When Chen Xiufang heard the name Huang Liangliang, she immediately remembered something, and her eyes immediately turned into curiosity, she looked her up and down, and her tone softened a little, "Forget it today, don't follow your sisters in the future, it will always be your turn." β
After saying this, he looked at Huang Yuanyuan and the others, "You guys move quickly, and after cleaning up for a while, hurry up and go to the cafeteria for breakfast." After speaking, he stopped looking at them, walked quickly into the chicken coop, and after a few minutes, he walked out with a basket of eggs, the basket was full, not to mention more than 20 eggs, perhaps because of these eggs, Chen Xiufang had a little more smile on her face, and told them a few words, and then left with the basket.
Huang Yanru looked at the basket of eggs that Chen Xiufang was carrying, swallowed hard, and said with a blank eye: "How nice it would be if I could eat an egg, I almost forgot the taste of boiled eggs." β
Huang Yuanyuan smiled a little helplessly, patted Huang Yanru's shoulder and said: "Let's study hard, and work hard to work in the factory to be a regular worker in the future, and when the time comes, you will be able to eat an egg every day with wages and food stamps." β
Huang Yanru looked down at her small body, and said with some discouragement: "Then it will take many years......
"It's not been a few years, and it's been over after a while. Huang Yuanyuan still persuaded, but she also sighed imperceptibly, the life in the welfare home is indeed hard, but what can they ask for as orphans, their parents don't want them anymore, there is a place to take them in, so that they can be fed and clothed, it is already a gift from God.
Huang Liangliang also stood silently aside, looking at his thin body due to malnutrition, and his heart was more eager to make good use of that piece of Yutian, only by eating well, can she grow up quickly, no matter what she wants to do in the future, she needs to have a healthy body, but obviously the welfare institute can not provide her with much, she still has to rely on herself.
After the three of them cleaned the chicken coop, they immediately trotted to the canteen, for fear that they would not be able to catch up with breakfast, but fortunately it was quite timely when they arrived, and the aunts had just said that the porridge bucket was brought up, and the three of them made a report, and then went back to their places and sat down.
Xu did some work in the morning, Huang Liangliang felt that the millet porridge this morning was particularly fragrant, although the steamed buns were still hard, but she also ate them all cleanly.
After eating breakfast and tidying up the dishes and chopsticks, Huang Liangliang asked Huang Yanru beside him, "Sister Huiru, are we going to class now?"
Huang Yanru looked at Huang Liangliang, and then remembered that she had never taken a serious class in the welfare home before, so she nodded and replied: " Generally, our children here reach the age of seven, they will start to take some simple handicraft classes, after the age of eight to go to school, they will only attend classes during the break, and now it is the summer vacation, so all the people are going to class, you have not taken a handicraft class before, today should just sit and listen, watch others do it, wait for a three-day class, the teacher will give you some leftovers for you to try to do, and after you are proficient, there are tasks every day, you must complete the specified work, there will be a punishment if you can't do it, and people who do well and fast will also get a reward, the reward is some food, and the sugar that Huang Ai gave you last time is one of the rewardsγ β
When Huang Yanru said this, she swallowed her saliva involuntarily, as if she remembered the sweetness of that piece of sugar again.
Huang Yuanyuan walked on the other side of Huang Liangliang, squinted at Huang Yanru, and said coolly: "Huiru, you have to do a good job for me today, I have already helped you fill the hole yesterday, if you can't do it today, I won't care about you!"
As soon as Huang Yanru heard this, she immediately became anxious, and hurriedly ran over to take Huang Yuanyuan's hand, and begged: "Sister Yuanyuan, I know that you are the best, and you also know that I didn't mean to finish it, I'm stupid, I really can't do those handmade flowers......"
Huang Yuanyuan looked at her helplessly, and scolded again: "If you can't do handmade flowers, you can string beads, that doesn't require dexterity." β
Huang Yanru lowered her head embarrassedly when she heard this, her lips twitched, and then she whispered: "Isn't it that I can't always count the beads, and I was punished by my aunt last time......"
Huang Yuanyuan was also speechless, if she hadn't grown up with Huang Yanru since childhood, she really wouldn't want to care about her, she really couldn't do anything, and she wouldn't have anything left to eat.
