"There are currently 127 children in the orphanage, most of whom are mentally retarded and disabled. ”

"Our teachers are caring people from all over the country, and there are volunteers like you, you are all good people. ”

"We have special dormitories, canteens, classrooms, bathhouses, and there are many caring people in the community who are donating clothes, books, medicines, and money to us. I often say that these children are the children of caring people across the country, and with so many donations from well-wishers, our welfare home can come to this day......"

Cao Wu listened silently, standing at the door of the classroom, looking at the children of all sizes inside, under the leadership of the teacher, singing nursery rhymes loudly, with a somewhat complicated mood.

In fact, before he came, he made a preset in his mind.

The children's welfare home should have adopted many orphans, like a collective dormitory, where the children played games and played. There are people in the hospital who are responsible for contacting adoption, and there will be parents who are unable to have children, and after understanding and investigation, they will come to adopt......

But the scene he saw was completely different from what he expected, and it was even more ...... Cruel.

The classroom is very noisy, because most of the children are mentally disabled, they don't listen to what people say, they cry when they want to, laugh when they want to laugh, and some even pee directly in their pants.

More often than not, there are children with physical defects, either like Hu Kangkang, who have polio and have physical deformities, or have been injured and lack arms and legs, which is terrifying.

Cao Wu was a little sad to find that these children may not be adopted for the rest of their lives.

There is no lectern in the classroom at all, and the substitute teacher is like a full-time babysitter, taking them to play games, sing, and see the status of everyone to judge whether they are pooping and peeing.

This is not the Garden of Eden in fantasy, but a neglected corner of reality.

"Why don't you send them to school?" Cao Wu knew the answer to this question as soon as he asked.

"We have only 10 special education schools in the province, and our capacity is limited, and we can only accept children with visual impairments, hearing impairments and some disabilities, and children with intellectual disabilities are temporarily unable to accept them. Grandma Guli explained: "Moreover, the cost of such schools is relatively high, and the welfare homes cannot afford it. ”

"However, last year, the state has approved the construction project of 30 special education schools in our province, including three Peizhi schools, and one in Wushi, which will be opened soon, and then these children will have a place to go." ”

"Everything is getting better, isn't it?"

Cao Wu saw that the fat female teacher in her forties, who was telling stories to the children, was suddenly slapped by a mentally handicapped child, but she didn't get angry, she just reasoned with the child seriously and patiently made her learn to apologize.

Grandma Guli must have suffered more than this, and Grandpa Temur must have too, but they didn't say a word about the bad things about these children, and they were thinking about them at all times.

Cao Wu was suddenly a little ashamed, because he found that he couldn't stand Grandma Guli's good words at all.

The volunteers divided the things they brought, brought them to the classroom, and gave them to each child, and Fang Luxiao also stepped forward to help.

The mentally handicapped children were very happy, laughing uncontrollably and expressing their happy feelings.

Cao Wu found that those disabled children were not so happy, just silently accepting gifts and whispering thanks, but their eyes were indifferent and alienated.

Seeing his doubts, Grandma Guli explained: "It's not easy to be a volunteer, 80 percent of them don't work for too long. This is normal, people always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, like beautiful things, and it is inevitable that they will not be able to stand these children every day. ”

"These children are actually very sensitive, they like to communicate with people, they like to be in contact with people, but after a few times they have experienced familiar volunteer friends who suddenly don't say goodbye and never come to see them again, they change. ”

"That will make them more aware of their differences, so that they will become more withdrawn, vigilant, and sensitive. ”

"However, as long as you have patience and contact with them a few more times, you will find that they are the best children, their desire for love is far beyond ordinary people, and they are extremely eager to give their love......"

Listening to Grandma Guli's chatter, Cao Wu suddenly had an impulse to do something.

"Grandma Guli, are there any difficulties in the courtyard?" Cao Wu said seriously: "I can help, I will definitely help." ”

"Difficult? Nothing difficult. Grandma Guli shook her head and said with a smile: "We are well fed, warmly dressed, and live happily every day." ”

Grandma Guli looked at him, took his hand, and patted it: "You are a good boy, you have a heart." In fact, these children have no desire for money, what they lack most is companionship and care, if you really want to do something, come to see them often, this is the best help. ”

Cao Wu nodded blankly, he saw Fang Luxiao holding a girl with big eyes, telling her the story in the newly bought book, he suddenly understood why Fang Luxiao had to ask him to come over.

"I'm going to see them. ”

Cao Wu said hello to Grandma Guli and walked into the classroom, where the fat teacher was comforting a crying child.

That kid looks very similar to Ma Tian, and he is also a congenital stupid patient, that is, Down syndrome, and there is a very famous Down syndrome patient in Cao Wuyuan's time and space, named Zhou Zhou, who also looks like this.

"Do you want to help?" Cao Wu squatted down, and when the child saw him, he stopped crying in some fright, and fell into the teacher's arms.

was wiped on his chest by the child's snot, but the fat teacher didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's time for him to take medicine, every time he takes medicine, it's like being punished, haha." ”

Cao Wu helped her pour out the pills, put them in the palm of her hand, and asked in his mouth, "When did you come over?"

"Oh, nine years, right? Ninety-three or ninety-four? ”

"Are you married?"

"No, I am also an orphan, and the nurses I met in the orphanage when I was a child were not good, so when I grow up, I want to be a good nurse and not let these children suffer the hardships I suffered back then. "The fat teacher is very talkative.

"Do you find it hard?"

"It's false if it's not hard, but why don't you work hard? As long as you live, you have to suffer. If you want to earn money, you have to suffer from earning money, and if you want to be lazy, you have to suffer from poverty. Life is a lifetime, and it is enough to think clearly about what you want. I think it's good to take care of these children, I don't have children, they are all my sons and daughters, how good? Don't look at them with intellectual problems, but they all know that they hurt people! Last time I had a cold and fever, each of them came to hug me and said that they wanted to suck my cold away and make me comfortable, haha! How fun?"
