Chapter 296: The Origin of the Doll
The old man was very peaceful, and after saying hello to us, I immediately led him to a small restaurant in the countryside for a meal.
The old man is very happy, like this kind of country people are very simple, if you have a request for someone, you don't need to say anything, as long as you have a homely meal with a few people, the other party will become friends with you.
After a full meal, the old man lived in a corner of the small restaurant and told me about the origin of the whole orphanage.
It is said that this orphanage was established more than 50 years ago, when there was an old man over half a hundred years old, and his family had a lot of inheritance, and it is unknown what it did.
The old man once had a pair of children, but because of the unexpected death, it caused a lot of sadness, but the old man did not give up hope in life, so he funded the establishment of this orphanage, and included some homeless children in it.
In this way, the orphanage began to multiply, and even recruited a lot of local teachers.
It's just that this old man is estimated to have been dead for many years, and the money will be spent one day, and the orphanage slowly started with the loss of money.
The old man sighed as he said this.
If people don't seem to pay much attention to the education industry in this kind of countryside, if it were normal, everyone in the village would have to raise money to build it together.
But for these rural areas, there are many children who are not well cared for, and once they are found to have a disability or other disease since birth, they are either abandoned or slowly waiting to die.
Especially in such impoverished places.
Here I would like to mention in particular that this county is a poor county.
After the orphanage's funds ran out, the orphanage naturally broke up.
The teachers returned home to do something else, and orphans were adopted one after another.
When I said this, I suddenly remembered Xiaoqiang, so I asked the old man about this Li Xiaoqiang.
But it's a pity that when this old man retired, Xiaoqiang hadn't come to the orphanage, so he basically didn't know anything about the child, but according to the old man, the people who worked in the orphanage back then were basically gone, but there were still two in this township.
One of them is older and now paralyzed and unable to speak, and the other is a younger female teacher, so I can ask this female teacher if there is something I want.
Under the guidance of this old man, I soon came to the township and found the residence of the female teacher.
After walking in, we said hello briefly, and under the recommendation of the old man, we quickly became familiar with each other.
I came here to do business, and I was not polite, and after I walked in the door, I got straight to the point and asked about Xiaoqiang.
The female teacher said to me personally that this for Xiaoqiang was actually picked up by the female teacher.
However, there is no way to find out the true identity of this Li Xiaoqiang, after all, it was many years ago, and it was the cold winter moon at that time.
At that time, the female teacher volunteered to work in this orphanage, and in the cold winter, you happened to be caught by the wind and cold, and decided to go home early.
On the way, all of a sudden, I suddenly wanted to take a road that I hadn't walked before, which was a little far away, next to a lake.
Maybe it's providence, maybe it's a coincidence, there are no inhabitants around the road, it's just walking on the lake, and it's only possible to move forward in winter.
While walking, the female teacher suddenly heard the cry of a baby, and at first thought it was a hallucination, but the more she listened, the clearer it became, so she came back and took a closer look and found that there was such a pile of snowmen next to the lake.
A red cloth was buried in the snow.
The governess piled the snow aside, and found a little boy under the snow, and it was obvious that the boy's biological parents were trying to strangle the little boy in the snow.
The motherly love of the female teacher immediately came out of words.
The more I feel sorry for the child in my arms, the more I hate the child's biological parents.
In this way, the female teacher finally returned to the orphanage, and the child was raised in the orphanage, and this child is now Li Xiaoqiang.
But one thing is not easy to understand, generally speaking, orphans are some children who are born with natural diseases, but only this child is very healthy, and there is no difference in IQ from normal people, that is, there is no problem with the child itself.
Why on earth would parents abandon this child?
At this point, I will ask the second question, that is, where did the red doll in Li Xiaoqiang's hand come from?
But the next answer really scared me, saying that this governess is really big-hearted, and this doll was actually picked up in the process of leading to the cemetery.
It must be said that one of the special activities in the orphanage is to send friends.
This event sounds quite interesting, but it is actually the last thing that the teachers and students of the orphanage want to organize, because it is not a good thing.
As mentioned earlier, many of the children in the orphanage have natural diseases and some physical disabilities.
So they can't grow up as healthy as normal people.
Therefore, in the process of raising children, there will always be some accidental casualties or natural deaths, although everyone tries to avoid them, but this natural disease can not be cured by taking care of them.
When a child dies, these children have no service at all, and the teachers at the orphanage act as the parents of the children and see them off.
Not just as a teacher and principal.
The child's classmates also have to go together, so that the dead child will not be lonely in the other world, proving that there were many good friends who played together.
That's why the name of this activity is Sending Friends, an activity that sounds good but is not easy to do.
When I picked up this red doll, I was just in time for such an event.
Three days before the red doll was found, a little boy in the orphanage suddenly fell seriously ill and died.
This little boy was already seven or eight years old at the time, and he was always handsome on his back, but congenital leukemia has always made him bleed inexplicably.
The teacher in Dongguan tried to put the little boy in a safe environment, but the disease was too destructive to the body, and it still did not stop the pace of death.
