Bai Lu asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Xiaoying asked, "Is it Big Brother Bailu?"

Bai Lu replied gently: "It's me, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Xiaoying asked again, "Can you help us?"

"What happened?" asked Bai Lu.

Zhang Xiaoying said: "We are now at the train station, we have to wait for the train at 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, but we don't want to go home, can you help us find another job? After saying this, he added in a low voice: "But you have to eat and live." ”

Bai Lu was curious: "What about the previous work?"

The little girl said: "I am in the toilet now, there are people waiting outside to take us home, and the boss said that the government will not let us go to work, and they will send us home." ”

Bai Lu understood and asked, "Your factory has been checked, right?"

"It seems that he didn't go to work for many days anyway, and then he decided to send us home. The little girl said, "I don't want to go home, there is nothing in the house, I want to make money outside." ”

An eleven-year-old girl was very serious and very hard-working, saying that she wanted to make money......

Bai Lu said, "It's at the train station, isn't it? ”

"It won't bother you, will it?" The little girl said, "Don't come, we're going to be sent home anyway, and we'll call you again when we get home, okay?" ”

Bai Lu sighed secretly: "Wait for me for twenty minutes." Hung up the phone and said to Yuanlong, "Don't eat." ”

Yuan Long shook his head helplessly: "It's really troublesome to eat with you, what's the matter?"

Bai Lu went out to greet the waiter to settle the account and look at the dishes on the table. Let me pack it again, and then say to Yuanlong: "I'll go to the train station, will you go?"

"Don't go. Yuanlong said: "The car is left to you, and I will take a taxi back to the hotel." Then he said, "Go first, I haven't eaten yet." Stay alone for a while. ”

"It's fine. Bai Lu waited for more than a minute, waited for the waiter to pack the bag, took away all six dishes in total, and said to Yuanlong before going out: "You eat slowly, and you settle the account." ”

Yuan Long looked at the empty table where only the cutlery remained. Sighed, "What do you want me to eat?"

Bai Lu smiled and went downstairs with two plastic bags.

Call the driver downstairs: "Take me to the train station, be quick." ”

The driver hurriedly stuffed two more mouthfuls of food before going out, and it didn't take long to arrive at the train station.

In the first waiting room on the first floor of the station, there are more than 30 children standing or sitting by the window. Most of them are plainly dressed, and most of them are dull, and they don't know what they are thinking.

On the left and right sides of the group of children, and in the middle, there were seven adults, all with small bags in their hands or at their feet, as if they were going to send the children back to their hometowns.

This kind of queue is really special, and the passengers in the waiting room will look at it for a while.

Because of their specialness, Bai Lu saw it as soon as he entered the door and walked over quickly. Find the little girl she had seen in the hospital at the time: "What happened?"

Someone was talking to the children? The seven adults in charge of the supervision immediately came up to three, a man and a woman, and the nearest man asked, "Who are you? Don't talk to these children." ”

Bai Lu glanced at him. Hand the lunch box to the little girl: "It's still hot, eat it quickly." ”

The little girl said thank you and said she wasn't hungry.

Bai Lu turned around just now, so that the staff who saw his appearance clearly were stunned for a moment, and a woman about thirty years old asked: "Are you Bai Lu?"

Bai Lu put the package on the seat in front of him on the ground and put the lunch box on it. Some dishes are large. Can hold two boxes in a short time. A stack of lunch boxes fills two seats. Bai Lu said to the little girl, "Eat some." Then he asked, "What about the handsome guy in the hospital?"

A thin black boy walked over to the side: "I'm here." ”

Bai Lu looked at him and said with a smile: "I have become handsome." Take the chopsticks: "You eat too." ”

How is it possible to be handsome. Burns are the most troublesome injuries, the skin is burned by high temperatures, and it takes an extremely long time to recover, or even a lifetime. The little boy had visible scars on his face and hands.

After doing these things, Bai Lu got up and asked the staff: "Hello, I'm Bai Lu, I don't know if it's convenient to ask what's going on?"

But how do you know these kids? All of them are black and thin, and many of them look like swag, how can they know celebrities?

The woman who had just asked said, "Excuse me, what is your relationship with these children?"

"We're friends, we met when we were in the hospital. "White Road returns.

One of the men said, "Your friend? You let your friend do child labor?"

Bai Lu said: "Child labor is not child labor, and then I will talk about it later, what is wrong with them?

How rare it is that Mr. Bai Da can have such a good attitude.

It's a pity that the other party didn't answer the question immediately, but continued to struggle with what the relationship between him and these children was.

Bai Lu replied: "This boy is hospitalized, this girl accompanies me, I went to the hospital to see patients and met them, so I talked for a while, very good and sensible child, I like it a lot, can you tell me what happened now?"

It's very simple, and has a similar plot to many stories that have happened in the past. The factory was discovered and exposed for its extensive use of child labor, and under pressure from the media, the police, the industrial and commercial departments, and the streets had to intervene, and the company temporarily suspended work to send the children home after the investigation was clear.

Admittedly, this is the most responsible way to deal with children. But the problem is that there is no one at home, and many of the children are left-behind children. There is also the problem of going to school, although the tuition fee is exempted, but the books, pen and ink school bags always cost money, and the cost of travel and meals also has to be spent. Besides, the accommodation is very poor, and the food is very poor...... It's far better to come out to work, not to mention that you can make money without a guarantee of food and housing.

These children can get a salary of 1,800 yuan a month, but it is not good at all, and they work more than 12 hours a day. Kids don't care, though, many of them love the feeling of making and saving money, and like to see the numbers in their bank accounts jump every month.

After understanding the reason for the matter, look at Zhang Xiaoying again, the girl has not eaten, and her eyes are staring at Bai Lu. Hope to get good news.

What should Bai Lu say? Roughly speaking, there are thirty-nine children, nine of whom are boys. Ask a woman in her thirties, "Is this all child labor?"

"Of course not. The woman replied, "This batch came from one place, and we can send it back together, and there will be another batch tomorrow." We'll send one batch when we get back. ”

Three groups of child laborers? Bai Lu said: "You are hard enough. ”

"Who says no, not only is it hard, but you can't get much money, and you will always be scolded. The woman said.

Bai Lu smiled and then asked, "Is it to send home?"

"That's not necessary, we'll send it to the township, or to a larger village. The local government is responsible for sending them home. ”

Bai Lu continued to ask: "What if they come back?"

"There's no way around it, at most I'll send it back after I find it. ”

Bai Lu nodded, squatted down and asked Zhang Xiaoying, "Do you want to go home?"

"I don't want to, I want to stay and work, and it's okay to get paid less. I want to make money. Zhang Xiaoying replied very simply.

With her taking the lead, several other children also said that they didn't want to go home and wanted to stay and make money.

The staff in charge of escorting them quit and said to Bai Lu in a deep voice: "You can't talk to them like that. ”

Bai Lu glanced at him, stood up and said, "Just ask." ”

"Can't ask. "The staff is not afraid of the questioning on the white road, but they are afraid that the questioning will have an impact on the children's psychology, which may lead to accidents.

Bai Lu said, "Then don't ask." ”

But if you don't ask, why are you running to the train station in the middle of the night?

Bai Lu thought for a moment. Ask the woman who spoke at first, "Can you not send them back first?"

"This can't, it can't be! Tickets have been bought, not to mention the work tasks sent down from above. We had to escort them home safely. ”

Bai Lu said, "The seven of you are taking care of their thirty-nine children, are you busy?"

"There were nine people in total. The woman replied.

Bai Lu asked, "How can I let them stay temporarily." ”

"What are you going to do here? Continue to do child labor? You're a star, and you have to think about the impact when you talk and do things. "Another staff member said a little unkindly.

Bai Lu said: "No, no, of course they don't do child labor, I want to keep them in Mucheng for two days, is it okay? I'm in charge. ”

"You can't say anything, it's our job to send them home. Meet your own parents. The 30-year-old woman said, "Many children can't read, and that's not okay." You have to go to school to have a good future. ”

This is a bit absolute, but in general it is not wrong. Bai Lu asked, "Can't you stay for two more days?"

"No, you can't. The female staff member said.

The male staff member on the side looked at Bai Lu: "If you really want to take care of these children, help them change their hard-seat tickets for sleepers, for more than ten hours." ”

Bai Lu said, "It's no problem, but it's ......" stopped halfway through the words, when he first knew that the two children were child laborers, he also wanted to send them home, but the children were not happy to go home, and even made more money than their parents......

After thinking for a while, he said: "That's hard for you, wait for me, I don't have so much cash on me, I'll come back immediately." ”

The staff said no, but Bai Lu had already run out of the first waiting room.

While he was talking, the driver was waiting at the door of the waiting room, and then ran out with him: "Where are you going now?"

"Find an ATM. Bai Lu said.

"It's in the ticket hall. The driver replied.

"Is there a ticket hall?" Bai Lu stopped and thought for a while, ran back to the waiting room, and found the staff to ask: "There is an ATM in the ticket hall, who is the ticket? ”

"There are no sleeper tickets for a long time, and these hard seats are still the carriages that the city is looking for the railway bureau to hang up. The staff replied.

"Well, then you wait for me. Bai Lu ran out again, ran back ten minutes later, and brought a large stack of money: "You can withdraw 20,000 yuan, is it enough?"

"You're really taking money?" the staff was a little surprised.

The kids collectively said no, we can't ask for your money. (To be continued) R580
