Chapter 197
At noon, the children were driven to take a nap, Lin Shu and they refused the aunt's kindness, and instead of running together to squeeze with a group of little guys, they took advantage of this time to summon Uncle Ran and left the welfare home for a while.
The three of them found a shop to drink tea, Ju Mingfeng told Lin Shu what he heard, Lin Shu suddenly fell into deep thought, and said, "Strange, how can they lack clothes?" โ
Ju Mingfeng was suddenly helpless: "Are you wrong?" โ
Lin Shu said: "It's just a child's careful thinking. There is a wisdom of life for all walks of life. Institutions such as welfare homes generally have a set of methods to deal with donors, which is not news. Our school has to pull a banner and line up in a square when the leaders come, this is the basic etiquette, what's so strange? Why do you think those kids are so enthusiastic about us? It must have been because the adults told them that they should have fun with their brothers and sisters, and they will bring you good things......
Ye Qingdie was stunned when she listened.
When Lin Shu said this, she realized that it was not they who were coaxing the children, but the children who were coaxing them.
Lin Shutuo looked at Ye Qingdie and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Hit by it? โ
Ye Qingdie replied honestly: "A little." โ
Lin Shu said: "I tell you this, it seems a little too cruel. โ
Ye Qingdie shook his head and said, "No, I think...... Actually, it's still understandable. Speaking of which, we are just strangers, and when I was their age, I didn't care about that, crying and laughing when I wanted to...... When I heard this, I felt a little sad. โ
But she was silent for a moment, but said, "Even if that's the case, I don't think that boy has the right to say that kind of thing." Lin Shu, you are obviously very attentive, and your mind cannot be measured by money. โ
Lin Shu smiled.
Actually, he didn't think it mattered.
Ju Mingfeng is difficult to understand, Ye Qingdie is too young, and he may not understand. When food and clothing are scarce, sometimes it is really difficult to maintain such a thing as "conscience".
There is a passage in the religious story that when the rich go to heaven, heaven will inevitably welcome them with joy, because it is easy for the poor to be good, but it is not easy for the rich to be good. Lin Shu felt that this was the most story he had ever seen, because in reality, it was clearly difficult for people to maintain their hearts because they were poor.
When food and clothing are scarce, when even basic survival cannot be guaranteed, at such times, people are not able to consider good and evil, and can only survive according to instinct first. This is a life without choice.
In the final analysis, Lin Shu didn't think the boy had done anything big. His vision is too small, and all he has to do is get a few old clothes, which is really hateful.
He didn't take it seriously, he just wanted to wait and see. As a result, what happened in the afternoon proved it. When Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng went back, they saw a โกโก-year-old boy playing with someone, and bumped into Lin Shu backwards, hurriedly trying to avoid it, but fell to the ground with an unsteady snap.
Lin Shu's first reaction at that moment was to touch the porcelain, but he saw the boy grunt and get up, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Li Yusheng ran over with a limp, Lin Shu thought he was going to make trouble, but he saw him reprimand a group of noisy children: "Don't make trouble!" You're still making trouble!? If you get your clothes dirty, do I wash them or do you wash them!? โ
Ye Qingdie's eyes widened and looked at Lin Shu in dismay.
Lin Shu was also surprised. Listening to Li Yusheng's statement, he usually has to help wash clothes in the hospital?
And after Li Yusheng shouted like this, he arrived at the meat part. But he saw that the young man looked around, found the big boy who had retreated and bumped into Lin Shu before, and said, "Xiaobai, your pants-"
Lin Shu turned his head and found that the boy named Xiaobai had a piece of his pants worn out.
Li Yusheng's acting skills are realistic, and there is no trace of performance at all, and he said angrily and annoyedly: "Do you know that this is the last pair of pants of this size without holes!?" You tear more clothes in a year than grass from small to large!? Why don't you die! โ
Li Yusheng spoke excessively, but Xiaobai just lowered his head and didn't say a word, letting him scold.
Ye Qingdie was stunned for a moment, although she suspected that he was acting, but she still showed an unbearable look.
Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng finally knew what trick this young man was playing, and they immediately looked at each other, and they both showed helpless expressions.
The two of them stood there unresponsive and did not say anything. Li Yusheng glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and was suddenly a little anxious, but he grabbed Xiaobai, slapped his ass suddenly, and said, "I'll see what you wear in the future!" You deserve to wear rags for the rest of your life! โ
He screamed like this, and hit Xiaobai again, at this time he really used his strength, Xiaobai couldn't help but whimper in pain, and hid to the side.
turned out to see Li Anan running over with the aunt in the courtyard, and then the aunt said: "Li Yusheng, enough!" โ
Li Yusheng looked at Li An'an, and immediately became angry and annoyed.
Li Anan bit his lip.
Lin Shu naturally stepped aside and asked Auntie, "Auntie, is there a shortage of clothes in your yard?" I've read the news that in general donation activities, people don't like to be donated clothes and stuff like that. Because clothes are consumed slowly, and we seem to have a special donation station in the city, won't you receive donated clothes? โ
The aunt of the welfare home was stunned for a moment, obviously realizing what Lin Shu already knew. When Li Yusheng heard Lin Shu say this, his face was blue and red, and he couldn't tell if he already knew his tricks.
The aunt asked Li Anan to take him away.
After he left, the aunt came over, pulled Lin Shu to sit down in the courtyard together, and said, "No, there is no shortage of clothes in the courtyard." We receive regular donations of clothes, but they are all smaller. There are many large pieces of clothes that go to the mountainous areas, but occasionally there are nearby residents who will directly donate the old clothes that their children can't wear, and the children here are not short of old clothes. โ
Lin Shu nodded, but still showed some doubts.
The aunt continued: "But you ...... Ah, what school are you from? Nanhui? Enlightenment? Chao yang? โ
Lin Shu replied, "We are all from Nanhui Middle School. โ
The aunt smiled and said, "The children in the courtyard are not short of clothes to wear, but most of them are impossible to choose." In fact, even if we don't have enough clothes, we will go to the mall to pick up some clothes that are reduced at the end of the season, so that they will not be frozen. It's just not as good as your classmates. Last week, your classmates brought a lot of old clothes, which were of very good quality and style, and most of the children were greedy. The rain gave birth to this child...... He's actually a good boy, but he's a little bit short-handed. He probably just saw that you were well-dressed, wanted to deceive your sympathy, and provoked you to donate two more clothes to Xiaobai. She sighed, "Auntie will tell him not to do this, and you don't take it personally." โ
Ye Qingdie didn't say it for the time being, the clothes that Lin Shu and Ju Mingfeng were wearing now were all custom-made with good materials-this group of children had a bit of vision.
Because of such an incident, Lin Shu and a few others couldn't help but have a bit of a boring afternoon in the afternoon.
Lin Shu was not reluctant to donate clothes to the welfare home, he just wanted to come over to see the situation first, and then decide to do something after understanding the situation, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on the first day.
In the afternoon, Ye Qingdie's expression when she taught the children to paint was also a little listless, Lin Shu knew that she was bumped into by reality, and she hadn't recovered for a while. But in fact, it cannot be said that there is no gain.
Real society is often so complex and realistic, and what they encounter today is only a small microcosm of society. Ye Qingdie They are still young, and they don't need to run around for food, clothing, shelter and transportation, so they can still be innocent, but in fact, once they reach the age of self-reliance and running around for survival, they can be innocent, not scheming, and not violating their hearts...... It's really just a very small number of people.
When Lin Shu was telling the children the story, he saw a boy named Xiaobai running over, grabbed him and said, looking so anxious that he was about to cry, and said: "Brother Lin Shu, don't be angry, and don't sue the school, okay - I didn't mean to lie to you on purpose, because Brother Yusheng said that I don't have to say anything...... He said he was going to conjure me up to make Brother Lin Shu and Sister Qingdie like me more-"
The boy was so anxious that he almost cried, but Butterfly began to hesitate - she couldn't tell if the boy was telling the truth this time.
When the boy saw that the two did not speak, tears rolled out. He stretched out his hand and quickly wiped it away, crying and said, "I like marbles, and I also like to listen to Brother Lin Shu's stories." I'm not lying......"
saw Li An'an
The girl's voice has always been gentle and slow, and there is even difficulty between the connections between the words, so it seems slow. However, Lin Shu was not impatient, and patiently listened to her long, lacking the ups and downs of her tone, and then said, "I won't sue." But you really don't want to do it again. It would also be very sad if someone found out that the person they were helping was deliberately deceiving them. โ
This kind of thing may not matter to Lin Shu, because he is originally sophisticated and cunning, and understands all kinds of good and bad social laws. But for students who are enthusiastic and want to help others, it may be a very severe blow and will destroy a person's original kind heart.
Li Anan listened, nodded slowly but seriously, and said, "Thank you." And sorry. She clumsily learned the scene on TV and gave Lin Shu and the others a not-so-standard bow.
Then as soon as Li Anan finished bowing, Li Yusheng suddenly pushed open the door and ran out of the house with a limp, and then ran in front of Lin Shu and them, suddenly knelt down with both knees, and said: "One person does things and one person does it!" Deliberately encourage them to pretend that it is me who is pitiful, and if you think you have been deceived, just beat me. The others, including Xiaobai, are innocent, I lied to them, lying or something, it has nothing to do with them! โ
The aunt of the welfare home then chased it out, but she had a headache because of this scene. She was just scaring Li Yusheng and Li Xiaobai, but she didn't expect the child to take it seriously.
