Chapter 149: Children's Welfare Institute
The next day, Su Wen asked the construction party to build a row of tin houses, the weather in May was already good, and there was no problem in living in the tin houses. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The location of the tin house is on the second floor, which is very close to the current monk's house, which is convenient for care. There are ten rooms in total, so let's arrange those teenagers for the time being.
At the same time, a small building was erected in the monastic room to serve as the future residence of these teenagers. When these teenagers grow up and leave the monastery or integrate into the monastery, it will be used as a monastic house.
After arranging these things, Su Wen set off in a hired vehicle.
The car is a 60-person bus found on the Internet, which is enough for everyone to sit. With Su Wen traveling and Xingzheng, he is a person who is very familiar with things in society, and taking him to travel saves a lot of trouble.
He was also very happy to be sent by Su Wen, and in his experience all along, a person is valuable, and it is better to live no matter where he is. Although the temple says that there is no distinction between high and low, some people have to be divided into three, six, nine and so on, and these people are different from others in terms of their origin and the way they enter the temple.
When he thought so, he didn't know that there were four people in the temple who abandoned the way to enter the Buddha, and had to worship in the temple after gambling with Suwen. After all, these things have passed in the past, and no one in the temple will mention them, let alone mention them.
A bus is empty, plus the driver a total of three people rushed to Haizhou, from the East China Sea to Haizhou it takes 15 hours, but Haizhou is still under construction, several people set off in the morning and go to Chaoyang in the evening to rest.
After a day's car sitting, my whole body was about to fall apart, and my spirit was a little sluggish, but I still managed to do everything like staying in a hotel.
stayed in Shencheng for one night, and this night was also the beginning of the 16-in-8 competition in the fighting match, but Su Wen didn't have much to pay attention to, anyway, he didn't have to worry about Lu Zhishen and others in him.
After the night, continue on the road the next morning. It is much faster to get from Shencheng to Haizhou, and it only takes more than an hour to arrive.
There are many trucks coming and going on the road, all of which are transporting various materials and construction materials.
The eruption of a country with a population of more than a billion people is extremely powerful, and it can even make outsiders feel terrified.
Haizhou has now become a huge construction site, and the locals have wiped away their tears and thrown themselves into the construction in full swing.
Su Wen just sat in the car and watched the hustle and bustle outside through the window, after all, he had lived here for decades in his previous life, and he was still very emotional.
After seeing the general situation in Haizhou, Su Wen asked the driver to go straight to the destination.
The first place to go was also the first to call the children's home, which is on the outskirts of Haizhou, because the quality of the houses is good, and they are all two-story buildings, which were not greatly affected by the earthquake, and have become the primary place to take in orphans after the earthquake.
On the way, I called the welfare house, and when Su asked, there was already someone waiting outside.
"Hello, Master Suwen, I'm Dong Dejiang, the director of the welfare institute, let's talk on the phone. ”
As soon as Su asked the car, a middle-aged man greeted him, and his tone was very enthusiastic.
"Hello, Dean Dong. Su Wen Shili said. The other party is in his forties, with an ordinary figure, an ordinary appearance, and an ordinary dress, which belongs to the kind that cannot be found in the heap.
"I've heard about you many times, but I've finally met your real person. Dong Dejiang said with a smile.
"Amitabha Buddha is also a meeting of karma. Su Wen chuckled.
"It's good that there will be more of this kind of karma, and I don't know how many people thank you. Dong Changjiang laughed and pulled Su Wen inside.
"Come with me and go inside, the kids are ready. ”
"These more than 20 children all lost their parents in this catastrophe, and they have no relatives to take them away and raise, and their personalities are somewhat strange. The most common ones are autism and depression, and two of them have committed suicide, so it's better for mages to pay attention. ”
Su Wen listened to the other party's words, and looked at the welfare home while nodding.
The yard was a large open space, almost half the size of a football field, with a lot of things and equipment for children to play with. And a small open space next to it has a lot of clothes and bedding to dry.
At this time, dozens of children were playing in the courtyard, and when they saw the dean and two monks walking in, they all looked over.
"Hello Dean. ”
"Hello Uncle Dean. ”
Su Wen watched these children say hello, and knew that this Dean Dong was a good person, and the children here sincerely respected him.
At the other end of the courtyard is a circle of two-story buildings, surrounding the open space, and the sound of children crying can be heard behind many doors and windows, as well as the voices of staff and volunteers talking and coaxing.
A few people passed by the largest room, Su Wen's eyes glanced inside, dozens of six or seven-year-old children sat in it and listened carefully to what the person in front of them was talking about.
Dean Dong noticed the direction Su Wen was looking at, and said with a smile: "There are some volunteers who arrange time to come to teach the children every day. The people here are smaller, and the older ones go to school. ”
In addition, Su Wen found that many of the walls had centipede-like scars, all of which were cracks that had just been plastered with cement.
"Are these houses all right?" asked Su Wen.
"An expert in construction came to see it and said there was no problem. There are a couple of serious areas that they have helped deal with. ”
Su Wen nodded, knowing in his heart that although he said so, it was estimated that the condition of the welfare home was not very good. After all, I have to raise hundreds of children, many of whom are still seriously ill and disabled, and the monthly expenses are not small. And just now he saw that many children's clothes were a little old, which shows that it is also difficult for the welfare home to maintain.
When he arrived at the dean's office, he saw that the furnishings inside were more rigorous, and his judgment was more rigorous.
A somewhat mottled desk with an old computer on top.
There is a bookcase next to it, which is full of folders, which should be some related materials of the welfare home.
And then there's a row of sofas, which are wiped clean, like anything else. However, it can also be seen that it is worn, and some places are broken and stained.
"Mage, please be seated. The dean let Su Wen on the sofa, and then poured two glasses of water with a paper cup.
Then he picked up a stack of papers on his desk and handed it over. "The children's information is here, you can take a look at it first. ”
Su Wen appreciated his vigorous and resolute work. After all, he doesn't have much time, and there are two welfare homes to go to here.
Picked up the file and read it carefully, and nodded at the dean: "Can I meet them first?" ”
"Yes, they didn't go to school today. Dean Dong nodded in agreement, then pushed the door and went out to call someone.
It didn't take long for Dean Dong to come in again, followed by a row of boys, all of whom came first, the oldest was fifteen years old, and he was almost one meter seven tall. And the youngest is only eight years old.
Some of these children looked directly at Su Wen without fear, some looked away, and some had some uneasiness in their eyes.
Su Wen looked at all the children and said gently, "Do you want to leave with me?" ”
Twenty or so people were silent, and in the middle of the voice, one of the children said, "Where are you going to take us?"
Su Wen looked at the child, named Lu An, who was eleven years old this year, with bipolar disorder, depression and mania. Sometimes elated, sometimes depressed, and at the same time with the urge to hurt others and commit suicide.
Su Wen knew that Dong Dejiang must have told them who would lead them, and he also knew where he was going to go, but he definitely didn't know anything about the Pure Heart Temple.
"Jingxin Temple, it is a big and peaceful place.
Mountains, streams, animals, and a lot of buildings under construction.
You go to school and you can learn the Dharma at the same time, which is the great wisdom of the world, and you can understand the truth of the world. You can also learn martial arts, strengthen your body, and help others. But you have to do what you can every day, after all, after you go there you are a part of the monastery, whether it is you or me, everyone has to do what they can, this is part of life.
Of course, when you become an adult, you can choose where you want to go, whether you want to go down the mountain to continue your studies, then marry and have children, or stay on the mountain to continue your cultivation, it is all your own choice, and the monastery will not interfere with this. ”
"Can you eat enough?"
As soon as these words came out, Dean Dong's face suddenly became embarrassed.
Su Wen laughed when he heard this. "Enough, enough, you can't starve. ”
"Then I'll go. ”
