"You've probably heard of that. That's when I picked you up. Let's talk about my affairs first, my family was in ruin at that time, and the Cultural Revolution almost revolutionized my old life, and I also saw it, and I didn't continue to earn anything and ask for anything, so I took over my parents' wishes, and their biggest wish before death was to raise those children to adulthood. At this point, the old dean's eyes were already hazy with tears, and the back of the old hand began to wipe his eyes.

"It took me a month to prepare, to save brick by brick, and then to build three large tiled houses, and to bring in the children who were no longer able to eat, and to give them a place to live. Hundreds of meals, hundreds of clothes, how many years have come over like that, but I think it was also the happiest day of my life, because I realized my wish. ”

"Later, those older brothers and sisters of yours grew up, and now they are thirty or forty years old, and the eldest is even almost fifty, almost fifty years old, and I am not a few years old. But what I am most happy about is that they have not forgotten their roots, and when they go out to wander out as adults, someone will send back money every year, and those who don't have money will write letters or send some special products to eat and use. ”

The old dean noticed Chen Hai's sluggish expression, "What? Do you still think that the government and those charities have raised you all these years? Although they will give money, how can they satisfy the mouths of dozens of people, if it weren't for the help of the nearby villagers and your brothers and sisters over the years, you would have starved to death!"

"Thank you so much, I didn't know about it before. Chen Hai scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I don't blame you, I haven't had time to tell you that it's not easy for them to make money outside, it's really not easy, I once went on a business trip, passed by a place, and there happened to be a child who went out under my hand to work hard there, so I had to ask me to go to his house to live, and I happened to be reluctant to pay the hotel fee, so I went.

When I got there, my first feeling was that I wanted to cry, is that where people live? In a five-square-meter palm-sized place, there is only one bed and some daily necessities, and he usually goes to the factory as an apprentice, without pay, and he has to solve the problem of living and eating by himself. The reason is that there is no education and no background. I hated it, hated myself for not letting them go to school in the first place. ”

"Grandpa, you don't have to blame yourself, the conditions at that time are known, and it will not be easy for you to pull them up. ”

I asked them if they regretted it? Do they hate me? They said they don't regret it, they don't hate me, they treat me as a father, and they keep me food even if they don't have enough to eat. I went away the next day, because that time I ate his dinner, and neither of the two poor people could rely on anyone, and I felt that my children were suffering outside, but I could not help at all, and I could not take care of myself, and hated myself!" said the old dean, who could no longer cry in the emotional place, and the two women opened their mouths to comfort him, and helped him wipe his tears.

"They have no education or background, but then they all got mixed up, found a daughter-in-law one by one, bought a car and a house, and took root. I like it too, but the only regret is that they are too busy with work and rarely come back. ”

"There is a child in Zhejiang, he said that the people there are very poor, and they love to have children, and there are many abandoned babies, and he can't bear to see them. When I heard the news, I went.

Actually, I shouldn't have go, because at that time, the orphanage was still barely able to make ends meet, and there were too many children to watch, but I still couldn't get over it with my conscience. If it weren't for that brother of yours, you would have died long ago. ”

"Hehe, Fu Da has a great life, when will I go back to see that brother. ”

"No, he died in a car accident a few years ago, and I went to the funeral. But don't worry, he is working hard there, has a small business of his own, has three offspring, a daughter and two sons, and lives well. ”

"When I got there, I realized how bad the situation was at the beginning! People are deformed, paranoid, and terrible like cannibalism, basically human life is worthless! When a girl is born in the family, they are thrown out, because they can't afford to raise it, and if they are better, they will be sent to those large orphanages, or to families with no offspring, and there are many worse ones, usually thrown into the trash. ”

Chen Hai's face was already stiff, and he listened blankly.

"But you are not the worst, I picked up five orphans from there, except that you are all girls, originally I picked up four girls in that mountain village, but when I went out of the village, I passed by a field, and there was a cry..."

Tatsuhae's tears were already flowing, but he remained motionless, imagining what was going to happen.

"I picked you up under a big locust tree, it was a rice field, and you put it on top of a pile of rice, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and you couldn't bear to look at it directly. There was nothing in it, just a thin layer of cotton. I don't cry when I touch you, those little eyes, dripping, almost pop out on their own. ”

"It was already evening, and I was riding a borrowed car, with four girls in two baskets in the back, and I thought you were a boy and suffered a little, so I tied you to the beams of the car, and it was bumpy along the way, but you just didn't cry, and I thought you were a cute kid at that time. The old dean had a rare smile on his face, as if he was stroking his own child and holding Chenhai's hand.

"I took you with me, it took three hours to come to the county seat, the girls are two years old, you don't have to bother to take care of it, but you are different, you have just been born for a few days, and the milk must not be broken. I took you to the hospital first, checked your condition, and the doctor said that you would be hospitalized, and if you were not hospitalized, you might not be able to live, but I have no money! I also want you to be hospitalized, but I will almost have no money after the cost of this examination has come down. The hospital doesn't want you, I can't just fend for yourself, I found you a wet nurse, give her a dollar a week, let her feed you, and I'll take you home after feeding. ”

"I stayed in that small county town in Zhejiang for two weeks, and your brother was in charge, he gave up all the food he ate where he lived, and almost used up his savings in those two weeks, but I asked him, and he firmly said that he was happy and did not regret it!"

"Finally, two weeks later, I see that you have no problems, you can eat and sleep, and your state is quite stable, I don't want to disturb him, I managed to get the ticket money to go back, and then took you on the way back, and there were troubles along the way, first a few girls cried and made trouble, and then you gave me a cold directly, but I was scared, but fortunately the carriage was ......"
