The welfare home has just been renovated in recent years, and the small buildings are neatly arranged, the colors are uniform, the green coverage area of the courtyard is very high, and all kinds of facilities are also complete.

"We just refurbished it a few years ago and now all the facilities are up to date. The children are also doing better than before. The dean in charge of guiding them said as she introduced them, and she looked at the few people who were obviously curious about the place, "It's all thanks to the old gentleman." ”

"Old gentleman?" Xia Xi asked, "Is that the old gentleman who has been donating to the welfare home?"

"Yes, it's been all about him for so many years. Originally, we were almost going out of business more than ten years ago, thanks to his funding, but in recent years, the old gentleman has not been in good health and has not been here for many years. The dean was a somewhat plump middle-aged woman, in her fifties and sixties, with her hair loosely coiled up and her face full of kind wrinkles, "You see, there is a newly built sports field, and in the past, children could only play in the open air, and when it rained, snowed or the weather was cold, they could only hide in the house, but now they can play there." ”

She was very talkative, talking endlessly about the current situation of the welfare home, and she was very grateful to the old gentleman who sponsored them.

"It's here. You should be careful when you get along with the children, they are very sensitive, and we have arranged for a caregiver who is familiar with them to accompany you. The dean took them to a small building in the back, this building was a little more colorful, the walls were full of painted flowers and cartoon characters, and on the other side of the wall was a little empty, there were some disorganized graffiti, the highest was only Natsuki's chest, which should be scribbled by children.

When the two of them arrived at the door, the nurse came out of it, and when he saw Xia Xi and Jiang Huai obviously a little excited, his face instantly turned red, but because of his professionalism, he only asked a few words in a whisper, and brought a few people in.

Natsuki's assistant left the suitcase he was carrying at the door and didn't follow up.

"Xia Xi, this is full of autistic children, they are very sensitive and don't like to communicate with strangers, you need to be patient. The nurses don't look very old, but they speak in an orderly manner, "I'll be watching them from the sidelines, so I don't have to worry too much." ”

"It's okay, we'll take care of it. Natsuki stretched out his hand and pulled the box, and the three of them walked together in the long corridor, and the sound of cartoons could be faintly heard coming from inside, the tune was lively and slow, but the voices of the children could not be heard.

All the children are very obedient, even though they are not very communicative. As he spoke, the nurse pushed the door open, and in an instant all the children turned their heads and looked at the door silently.

Even a few children saw two strangers also standing in the doorway, and immediately screamed and ran into the corner.

They will be afraid of strangers, will be afraid of communication, have social and language barriers, afraid of changes in the environment, more will repeat monotonous movements, and do not like change.

About 70% of these children will have low mental retardation and difficulty in integrating into the lives of ordinary children, and 20% will be no different from ordinary people, but they will often be isolated and bullied by ordinary children because of their strange and unsociable behavior.

The last 10% of children with exceptional intelligence are very rare.

This is the information that Natsuki saw before coming here, but no matter how detailed the information is, it is not as big as the shock of seeing it with his own eyes.

God opened a door for them, not even a window.

The nurse stepped forward and whispered to comfort the frightened children, Xia Xi was afraid that they would not dare to move forward for fear of being stimulated again, so after thinking about it, he chose to open his box at the door of the activity room and sit on the ground.

Natsuki brought a total of two chests.

One of the boxes contained picture books, and the other was full of toys.

Boys play and girls play with puzzles, which can make people play with small toys that will not be boring for a day.

Xia Xi and Jiang Huai sat at the door, the two of them fiddling with their toys, quietly and silently, trying their best to integrate themselves into this environment.

Gradually, some children noticed this, and seeing that the two of them were silent and buried their heads in playing, two children who were a little more bold moved over slowly.

The teachers and caregivers here have taught these children that they will ask them to reach out to their uncles and aunts, and although these children may not do it, they have always had this kind of thinking.

That's why at this time, a child will come, cautiously and tentatively.

But they didn't speak, they just leaned over and crouched quietly to the side, like little mushrooms.

The nurse saw a circle of small mushrooms around Xia Xi, but he didn't make a sound, and after calming the frightened child, he quietly pushed the door and went out.

It can be seen that these children like her a lot.

What autistic children need is companionship, and on the first day, Xia Xi and Jiang Huai'an quietly became big mushrooms for a day.

The next day I was a big mushroom for another day.

Occasionally, Natsuki would take out a notebook to record a little experience, or snuggle up in the sun to read the script.

The children's hearts are pure, and with them, Xia Xi occasionally forgets the troubles in reality, and can better understand the state of mind of the protagonist in the script.

When you immerse yourself in the script again, some emotions come out naturally.

When the mushroom days lasted for a week, Jiang Huai couldn't accompany her every day after all, so a week later, there were only about two dozen small mushrooms and Xia Xi's big mushroom in the huge empty activity room.

During this time, the children became familiar with her a lot, and gradually, as soon as Xia Xi arrived in the classroom, a few children would spontaneously lean over and play with toys beside her.

The way they play with toys is very monotonous, each child has their own fixed activity area, in the absence of teachers and psychological counseling, some children can even play for a day, has been repeating monotonous actions, at this time the nurse will gently help them change the environment, let them adapt.

So on this day, when Xia Xi arrived at the activity room alone, there were even children who glanced at the door of the activity room, as if they were looking for Jiang Huai.

"Big brother has something to do today, so he won't come. Xia Xi touched the heads of the two children, squatted down and said gently.

The child was stunned for a moment, then ran away with the ball in his arms.

Xia Xi smiled and didn't care, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

These children love company and are more accustomed to a singular environment, and now that they are used to it, one day she will go out to work, what will they do?

How cruel.

"Sister, when are you leaving?" just as Natsuki was thinking this, a child tugged at the corner of her clothes and asked in a low voice.

The child who dragged Xia Xi's face was the most talkative child here, but he still had few words, and more often he was reading a book, and he was almost finished reading the picture book that Xia Xi brought.

The first time he spoke to Natsuki was to ask her to bring a few more books.

"Me?" Natsuki was a little surprised, after all, this was the second time he had spoken to her.

"Hmm. The kid nodded, "They'll all go." So when are you leaving?"

Because of the nature of their work, the nurses here are already slow to transfer, but there are very few volunteers who usually come, and they are all nurses taking care of them. Caregivers are paid well and the work is easy, but even so, there are still many people who can't stand this environment, and the high turnover rate is terrible.

"I'm sorry. Natsuki touched his head, "I might be leaving soon." ”

The child sighed, "Will you come back?"

"Yes, I'll be back when I'm not busy. Natsuki held the child's shoulders and tilted her head to look out the window, "I'll come back to see you like that sister." ”

From here, you can see a large area of flowers and plants outside, and you can also see the gate outside.

At this time, there was a child to be adopted.

It was a girl of eleven or twelve, thin and thin, who was being held by the hand of a woman in a smart suit, and the dean was saying something in front of them.

"You lie!" The child's face immediately turned bad when he heard this, and the book in his hand was snapped shut by him, making a soft sound.

Xia Xi looked over in surprise.

This is the first time in so many days that a child has actively shown a reaction to the outside world.

"They never came back, none of them. The child buttoned up the book and muttered, looking very unhappy, "Grandma Dean said they weren't coming back!"

Xia Xi did hear from the dean that the abandonment rate here is very low, and basically the children who were taken away were not returned.

Most of the adoptive families are well-off.

Most of the children here are orphans, and there are also sick children who have been arranged by hospitals, but almost none of them have been adopted and returned.

"I'm sorry. Natsuki apologized to him before he promised, "I'll be back, and I'll come back to see you when I have time in the future." If I don't come back, you can see me on TV too. ”

Saying that, Natsuki pointed to the TV, "I'm an actor, you can see me on it." ”

The little boy awkwardly said yes, then picked up the book again and immersed himself in his own world.

It won't come back, being abandoned is a shadow in the hearts of these children, and it's full of little boys who will have such a big reaction.

At noon, Xia Xi took advantage of the fact that they were all taking a nap and went to the dean to discuss long-term cooperation with her.

After this week, Xia Xi had a vague idea in his heart.

Now she's going to do it.

"Aunt Dean?" Natsuki knocked on the door and pushed the door in after hearing a sound come in, "I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

"What's the matter?" asked the dean, reaching out and removing the reading glasses from his nose.

"I want to sponsor the children here. Xia Xi didn't talk much nonsense, and went straight to the point.

"I'm afraid it won't work. The dean shook his head and rejected Xia Xi's proposal, and in Xia Xi's somewhat puzzled gaze, he said slowly, "We already have enough funds here, and that gentleman will give us this large amount of money every year, so we don't need outside help for the time being." ”

"If you can, you can use the money to fund other homes, and there are many more children who need our help. ”

Natsuki immediately thought of the conditions here and nodded.

After the topic was closed, Natsuki remembered what the kid had said, and asked, "I was talking to a kid today and found that he was very resistant to leaving this kind of vocabulary. I wondered if I could come back and see the kids who had left before. ”

The dean's eyes darkened when he heard this, "To be honest, I want to do it too, but after those children were taken away, we also contacted their current guardians, but only a few children expressed their desire to come back and see." ”

When the dean said this, he was depressed and very sad.

She treats all her children as if they were her own.

"However, if you want to talk about the children who come back, there is really one. Grandma Dean let out a long sigh and took out a yellowed photo album from a drawer, "But he's a child who was returned by an adoptive family, and that child is smart enough to call the police." ”

As she spoke, she put a photo album in front of Natsuki, "No one knows what happened to this kid there, he was found in front of the police station covered in injuries, and now he has PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)." ”

Natsuki looked down at the photo album, which was a boy with a big smile.

"Alas, don't talk about this!" the dean put away the photo album, "Thank you Miss Xia for your love, I can see that the children have liked you very much for so many days." ”

"I love these kids too. "So I hope I can help them more." ”

"What a heart!" the dean smiled kindly, "That's right! Look at my brain, the old gentleman's grandson is also here today, you should know each other!" The dean patted his head and stood up.

Know?

Xia Xi was puzzled, "The grandson of the old gentleman, I know!"

"That's right, I heard about what entertainment industry I entered last year, you should all know each other!" said the dean, leading Xia Xi outside.

During the lunch break, the courtyard was quiet, there was no other sound, only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves, a very gentle and warm wind.

"You see, it's him. Grandma Dean and Natsuki looked through the glass at the young man assembling toys in the large activity room.

"Lu Shen?!" Xia Xi was surprised.

"Oh, yes! that's the name!" the dean's smiling eyes narrowed, and he pushed open the door and shouted inside.

Lu Shen smiled and turned around to greet the two of them, not at all surprised that Xia Xi would be here.

"Xia Xi, how is it?" Lu Shen said a few words to the dean's grandmother, then threw down the half-assembled toy in his hand and ran over to ask.

"It's not bad, the kids here are all very nice. Xia Xi said.

The abundant funds have brought more than this benefit to this welfare home, the children not only have a better living environment and quality of life, but also avoid the environment of lack of food and clothing in ordinary welfare homes, and the environment is better and the psychology is more healthy.

"Well, if it weren't for how everybody loved it. Lu Shen smiled, scooped up the toy in his hand and continued to lower his head to assemble.

"Yes, I like it too! I originally wanted to fund here, but the dean said that the funds were enough, so I wanted to make a foundation to support autistic children. ”

"That's a good idea!" Lu Shen still laughed, his voice was smiling, his hands kept assembling the toy, and some long forehead hair fell down.

"The world still needs a little light, you say. Lu Shen said, turning his head to look out the window.

Outside, another couple adopting a child arrived.

"Yes, I hope the children here can have a home. Xia Xi said, "The children are about to wake up from their nap, I'm going to go over to see them, let's go first." ”

"Well, I'll see you later. Lu Shen said.

When Xia Xi pushed the door and went out, he also pushed the door and went out, looking at the man and woman who followed the dean into the office and smiled in an uncertain tone.
