Chapter 650: The Kind Zhou Manting (11th, 2 Changes)
Chapter 650 The kind-hearted Zhou Manting (2 shifts on the 11th) A group of children surrounded Zhou Manting in the middle. The chatter kept talking. You could tell from the excited looks on the children's faces that they really liked her.
And Mu Fei can also see that Zhou Manting also likes these children.
Although there were more than a dozen of them, she was ready to call them by name, call them whatever they wanted, and ask them different questions.
And these children are really not clean, they touched Zhou Manting's clothes with their black hands, her clothes and shorts were dirty, and she didn't care.
Seeing this scene, Mu Fei couldn't help but glance at Zhou Manting in his heart: I didn't expect this guy to be a caring person......
Zhou Manting was chatting with these children, and a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her thirties came out of the dilapidated two-story building.
Although this woman has no appearance to speak of, she has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and she has a smiling face, which makes people feel that this person is very kind and easy to approach when they see her.
It's just that her mental head doesn't seem to be very good, her eyelids are half-drooping, and her eye circles are a little dark.
When she came out, she saw Zhou Manting playing with those children, grinned, and greeted, "Tingting, you're back......"
Zhou Manting looked back and smiled, "Hey, Aunt Baobao......"
Afterwards, Zhou Manting said to the children around her, "Go play, I'll talk to Aunt Bao for a while......"
But the children were reluctant to let her go.
"Don't, you're just back, just play with us......"
"Yes, Sister Tingting, you haven't played poker with us for a long time......"
"Also, you said you would play football with me......
The children surrounded her and wouldn't let her go.
"You little devils, what Aunt Bao and I want to talk about is business, very important things. I don't have time to play with you right now......" Zhou Manting said, pointing to the children.
After listening to Zhou Manting's words, those children could only give Zhou Manting a way, but helplessness was written on their little faces.
"Alas...... I really can't ...... you guys" Zhou Manting sighed lightly and pointed at Mu Fei, "If you want to play, look for him, his name is Mu Fei, and he is my sister's friend......"
After Zhou Manting finished speaking, she waved her hand to Mu Fei, pointed at these children again, signaled him to resume taking care of these children by himself, and then left.
And although those children love Zhou Manting very much, they have a completely different attitude towards Mu Fei. They all glanced at Mu Fei, and then their little heads turned around again, and they scattered, what to do and what to do, completely ignoring Mu Fei.
Mu Fei stood there alone, a gust of wind blowing off two fallen leaves, looking gloomy.
Damn, is there a mistake? is so good to Zhou Manting, so cold to me......
I remember that my buddies' children have a good relationship, and most children like me and love to play with me. But what's the matter with these kids? They are too individual, aren't they? Completely ignoring me?
He was somewhat depressed, and he felt that his self-esteem was being challenged.
If you little devils don't care about me, if you can't handle you, then you'll be fooled ...... fool," Mu Fei thought as he looked at the children.
Then, he looked left and right, and saw two children looking at a book called "Fifty Entry-Level Magic", and they were also holding wooden sticks and sticks to practice something.
Seeing this, Mu Fei smiled and walked towards the two children.
……
"Aunt Baobao, you have lost a lot of weight......" Zhou Manting asked as she looked at Aunt Baobao.
"Alas~~ It turned out that it was me and the dean who took care of the twelve children. But now we have twenty-seven children living here, or am the dean and I busy, can we not lose weight?" Aunt Bao Bao responded, and then pointed in the direction of Mu Fei, "Tingting, what about your boyfriend?"
"Where, where is it?Friends, ordinary friends......
Zhou Manting's face flushed, and she thought to herself that it was really my boyfriend...... It's really good.
It's a pity that people have a master......
And seeing Zhou Manting blushing, how could Aunt Bao not see that there was a problem?
She smiled meaningfully, "It's really not your boyfriend?" Tingting, you're blushing......
Zhou Manting was suddenly embarrassed, "Aunt Baobao, can you not be so gossipy?" Now that the little boy in Xiaoshi has become a 'little gossip' brought by you, you should be careful not to bring bad children......"
As she spoke, she hurriedly diverted the topic, "Also, don't care about my problems yet." Hurry up and tell me about the things in the courtyard, I heard Xiaoshi say that the money allocated from above is less?"
"Ah~~"
At the mention of the welfare home, Aunt Bao suddenly looked sad and was in no mood to joke.
She sighed lightly and said, "You also know the Tao, the scale of our welfare home, normally takes in a maximum of sixteen children. So the above is also based on the allotment of sixteen children......"
"But now, we have twenty-seven children here. It is already difficult for us to use the expenses of these sixteen children to feed twenty-seven children. But just two months ago, a document came down from above, saying that there was a shortage of funds, and the relief fund was reduced by 20%......"
"Now, our welfare home is even worse......
The funds have been reduced by 20%, which means that the relief money used by the original 16 children can now only support 12.
The money for 12 children is used for 27 children, and the shortage of funds can be imagined.
"I really don't know what those officials are doing...... Zhou Manting muttered, and asked Aunt Baobao, "Then what's the situation now?"
"How can I say it~~ Thanks to the two thousand yuan you sent every month, these children can at least eat enough now, but these children haven't touched a meat star for a month......"
"And, now, if it continues to be like that next quarter, it will be troublesome. In the autumn, these children have to buy thick clothes, and in the winter, they have to burn coal, I don't know where to get this money......" Aunt Bao said as she looked at the skinny children around her, and the pity in his eyes was beyond words.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now......"
Speaking of this, Aunt Bao waved her hand and pointed in the direction of the two-story building, "The dean is tired enough for a while, and he has a cold." He's waiting for you inside, so let's go in and talk......"
Originally, Zhou Manting was very happy to see these children, but when she thought of the situation in this welfare home, she was not happy at all.
After listening to Aunt Baobao's words, she nodded, and the two walked towards the house.
……
"Kids, do you like magic?"
Mu Fei leaned over to the two children who were doing magic according to the book and asked with a smile.
The two children looked up at Mu Fei, ignored him, and lowered their heads to learn from the book.
"Actually, I'm going to do magic too, do you want to take a look......" Mu Fei said again.
The two children still ignored him.
Mu Fei was not angry, and he didn't care about the two children, he took out a coin and performed by himself.
"Look, there's a dollar here, I'll hold it with my right hand, and ...... like this"
"Smack~"
As Mu Fei spoke, he snapped his fingers, and then opened his right hand, the coin in his hand was gone, and his palm was empty, "Look, that one dollar is gone......"
"Wow~~"
The boys' eyes widened in surprise.
Seeing this scene, Mu Fei knew that his goal had been achieved.
"Do you want to know where the money went?" Mu Fei smiled and asked the two boys.
The two children didn't want to deal with Mu Fei, but they really couldn't hold back the curiosity in their hearts, and after glancing at each other, they nodded.
I saw Mu Fei stretch out his hand to a boy's ear, and snapped his fingers again. He opened his hand again, and the money was lying quietly in his hand.
"Wow, brother, you're so good......"
"How did you do it......?"
At this moment, the two boys were really 'shocked' by Mu Fei, and their little faces were full of excitement.
"Do you want to learn, I'll teach you......" Mu Fei replied with a smile.
As the two children who loved magic shouted and screamed, more and more children came over to watch Mu Fei's performance. In the small trick of Mu Fei Luo, he can be regarded as a successful 'penetrating into the enemy'.
I have to say that Mu Fei still has a lot of children, and as he came into contact with these children, he quickly became the center of these children.
When Mu Fei was playing with them, he was not idle, and asked about these children from time to time.
But the living conditions of these children made him sigh that they were too miserable.
This welfare home does not allow them to go to school like other children, and the director does not allow them to go too far, so to speak, the small two-story building and this small courtyard are all their world.
Because I'm afraid of consuming electricity, I can usually watch TV, not to mention game consoles. Excuse me, but that's just something that exists in 'legends'.
There are two times they are most looking forward to, from half past eight in the morning to half past ten, which is the time when the old dean gives them classes. From six to eight o'clock in the evening, they can watch TV.
Other times, they can pass the time with old books donated by others and outdated toys that have been worn out and can no longer be broken.
As for the food, they don't know the taste of meat, and every day they are all kinds of vegetable leaves, which is environmentally friendly.
In short, the quality of life of the children in this welfare home is three words - starvation and death.
Alas...... I don't know what the officials of the 'relevant departments' were doing when these children couldn't even eat......
Mu Fei sighed in his heart.
Just as Mu Fei was thinking, another little boy shook Mu Fei's arm, "Brother Mu Fei, you will do magic for us again......"
Mu Fei smiled at him, "You guys play by yourself first, I'm tired, let me rest for a while, okay......?"
After all, these children are not as familiar with Mu Fei as Zhou Manting.
Although I felt a little regretful after listening to his words, I didn't force it, and they all dispersed and went to play by themselves.
And Mu Fei called a little child, asked the location of the dean's room, and entered the dilapidated two-story building.
As soon as he entered the building, he saw the little stone lying in front of the door of a certain room, listening to something secretly.
There was also the voice of a girl talking in that room, and the person who spoke, Mu Fei, knew Zhou Manting.
"Smack~~"
Mu Fei walked over and patted the small stone.
"Oh mama, ......" Little Stone was startled and exclaimed in a small voice.
"Huh~~ It turned out to be a big brother......"
Seeing that it was Mu Feilai, he patted his chest with a scared look.
"Shhh......h
Then he stretched out his index finger in front of his mouth, made a silent motion, and pointed in the direction of the door, signaling Mu Fei to listen to what was being said inside.
"Dean, Aunt Baobao, don't worry about it......"
I only heard Zhou Manting say, "Isn't it just a difference of 8,000 yuan a month? I'll find a way to deal with the money, and I won't let them even eat a meal of meat......
"Tingting, you are still a student, and it is not easy to relieve these children with 2,000 yuan by working part-time every month, so don't worry about it. I can't stress you too much......" came an old man's voice.
And the old man said, coughing and coughing. Obviously, he wasn't in great health.
"It's okay, I'm done with the college entrance examination now, and I'm idle during the holidays. Take advantage of this time, you can have two more part-time jobs, and you won't have much pressure to ......," Zhou Manting replied with a smile.
And after listening to their conversation, Mu Fei frowned slightly.
Wouldn't it, this week, Manting is wearing all cheap stalls, but she gives these children 2,000 yuan a month?
After knowing this, Zhou Manting's image suddenly became tall in Mu Fei's eyes.
Because Mu Fei knew that this was because of Xiaomeng's help, he had his own today. And if this matter were put on myself a year ago, earning two thousand yuan a month?
That's just an idea, and I can't do it myself......
Suddenly, Mu Fei felt that he had underestimated this girl too much before. Even...... He admired her a little......
