Gu Zhong watched Er Li's back disappear, turned around awkwardly, and faced Lu Li, he knew that he was in a very bad mood, what way could he find to relieve him? "Brother Li, I remember, you just left a few days ago, and that Miss Ou came again. This time it was still an audit, but our accounts were clear and clear, and she didn't find any problems. Hehe...... I looked at her like that, as if she was quite dissatisfied. ”

"Well, what's the matter?"

"That's why it's worth mentioning. The rest is a business matter, oh, Mr. Zhu's family who lives nearby has come once, this time with his daughter's family, and I regret not seeing you. ”

Lu Li suddenly remembered something, "Xu Yunjian, before I left, I asked you and Ah Mao to go to that orphanage with gifts, did you go?" ”

"Oops, I forgot. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot to die! Xu Yunjian smirked and scratched his head, and said, "I bought all the things, piled them all up in your bedroom, and sent them over." I've been busy these days, and I can't take care of it. ”

Luli glared at him fiercely, and scolded sneeringly: "None of you can do anything!" Ah Zhong, you call me, hire a car, and I'll take a trip. ”

"Okay, I'll call."

Call here to arrange, Lu Li walked upstairs and opened his bedroom door, huh! That's a lot of cardboard boxes! Fifteen or sixteen boxes were stacked messily indoors, and there was a faint musty smell in the air.

Flipping through the other boxes, there were picture books one by one, many of them in English, "Xu Yunjian?" You come up! ”

"What are you doing?"

"Why do you buy so many English ones, can you understand them?"

"I don't understand what I'm afraid of, and I don't read it, it's all for children." Without waiting for him to speak, Xu Yunjian hurriedly said: "I have asked people, many places in Hong Kong speak English, and they can understand English without ordering small dolls, and they have no problem looking at these books." ”

General Luli looked at him suspiciously and said, "Really? ”

"I don't know, the guy who sold the book told me anyway."

"You lack heart, people take you for a fool! Anyway, you buy a book, and people make money, do you care if you can read it or not? ”

"Hey, really?" Xu Yunjian was really a little stupid, "Then what should I do?" No, I couldn't find a forced person to retreat. ”

"Can you learn to use your brain when you encounter problems? I'm for the children in the orphanage, not for the college students! Oh, you're ...... Why haven't you grown at all? ”

Xu Yunjian rolled his eyes and said, "Xiaoxiao, don't you have a fire to release it to me?" I've provoked you by recruiting you, and besides, how do you know that children can't understand, that is, they can't understand, so aren't there teachers? ”

"What's the matter, I can't even talk to you now?"

"You have to be at fault for me to say, what does it mean that there is no growth at all? How did I not grow? You've been gone for so many days, who has helped you watch the business in the store? You don't use me as a dish, you can clip a chopstick if you want to! Damn, you really don't know what to do! ”

"Huh?" Lu Li didn't have time to say Hu, Xu Yunjian had already gone downstairs first. It made him confused and embarrassed, this was the first time in his life! Just as he was about to chase down, a car came from outside the hot pot restaurant, and he didn't care about saying more, so he picked up the box and went downstairs, put it in the car, went back and forth a few times, and packed the things, "Let's go, Kowloon, Kang Ci Orphanage on Kwok Lang Street." ”

Drove all the way to the destination, drove the box car into the gate of the orphanage, and parked on the empty playground, Lu Li just got out of the car, and saw Zhu Airong, who had a relationship with each other, and a man greeted him, "I'm sorry, may I ask who you are?" ”

Lu Li licked his lips and said in Cantonese, whose pronunciation was not very standard: "Mama Zhu, we have met before, my surname is Lu, I am from the mainland, do you remember me?" ”

"......" Mama Zhu stared at him for a while, as if she was a little impressed, "Are you the kind-hearted person who participated in a fighting tournament and came here halfway through and bought a lot of toys for the children?" ”

"Don't call me a kind-hearted person, just do what you can to help the children. Oh, I came this time, and I bought some gifts for them. I didn't know your process here, so I hurried over, hoping it wouldn't cause trouble. ”

Mama Zhu smiled kindly, his arrival did cause trouble to others, this is out of ignorance: the donations and donations of such kind-hearted people must be distributed through the charity federation of the local community, of course, the donor can also designate the distribution destination, but it also has to go through the charity federation, like him, he carried things to the door, but there is no one! "Then, your surname is Lu, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Alright then, Mr. Lu, you can put these things in the storage room in the courtyard, and we will arrange for someone to distribute them to the children in the next time."

"Okay, I see." Luli smiled and said, "Can you tell me where it is?" I moved in. ”

Ten minutes later, Lu Li wiped the dust on his hands and smiled at Mama Zhu, "Mama, it's okay." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, please come to my office and take a break, and I'll show you around the orphanage later, okay?"

"Of course, it's just, won't it be too much trouble for you?"

"Don't worry, it won't. Moreover, the children are also very willing to associate with kind-hearted people like Mr. Lu. Seeing more people can enrich their world. From this point of view, even if a person always comes empty-handed, as long as he can tell the children about the outside world, it is a very happy thing for them. ”

Lu Li nodded and stood up, "So, Mama Zhu, let's go now, okay?" ”

Mama Zhu smiled and stood up with him, "Mr. Lu, please come here." ”

The two of them walked out of the office, and as they walked, the woman told him that although the orphanage was built and operated by her as the director, it was actually built and operated in the name of the Kowloon Charity Federation, and there would be corresponding funds allocated every year, but the money could only maintain the ordinary life of the orphanage, and other education funds and activity funds had to be raised with the help of many enthusiastic people in the society.

"There are many similar orphanages in Hong Kong, but fortunately, there are many people like Mr. Lu, so it is not a big burden to operate."

"So, how much money do you receive each year for an orphanage like the one you manage?"

"It's around 700,000."

Lu Li nodded, secretly thinking in his heart, and asked, "Then, how many children are there?" Where did these children come from? ”

"The vast majority are abandoned babies, and some are born with disabilities."

"What about age?"

"Most ,...... between the ages of four and six"

"Four? Is it still abandoned by parents when you are so old? ”

"No, they've all been in the orphanage for four years, and as you suspect, probably no one will throw the child they have worked so hard to raise on the side of the road, right? Most are thrown away just after birth. Mama Zhu stopped, pushed open a door, and immediately the laughter of the children came into her ears, and the children were learning to paint under the leadership of Mama, and the brushes in their hands were moving on the pieces of paper, and the young and lovely pictures were born from scratch between the children's completely unrefined fingers.

Hearing the voice, a woman walked over and bowed slightly, "Dean Mama." ”

"Hello Mama Zhao. This is Mr. Lu, the caring person I told you about last time. Mama Zhu introduced it and said to Lu Li: "Mr. Lu, if you want, you can go in and communicate with the children." ”

Luli was not polite, walked up to a boy, sat down cross-legged, and when the child looked up, he was really startled! This child is missing one eye, and it is not an acquired disability, but a birth without it! The left eye, which was supposed to shine like a black jewel, was a neat and smooth piece of skin, and apart from this somewhat terrifying point, it was a pretty little guy!

The child tilted his head, looked at him with his only right eye for a moment, then lowered his head again and scribbled on the drawing paper; Luli secretly said that it was a pity, what a lovely child, how did it ......, how did this happen? Seeing the child's casual appearance, he hesitated and frightened, timidly mustered up a little courage, and said, "What are you drawing, can you tell me?" ”

"Mama." The child laughs, draws the last few strokes, and shows the paper, "Ah, I can see it." Mama indeed. In fact, he didn't see it, he just greeted the child's words, "You like to draw?" ”

"Yes." The boy nodded, looked at him again, and said, "Are you the new Mr. Kindness?" ”

"Sort of, but I don't dare to call myself a kind-hearted person, but I have a little ability and am willing to provide a little help to more people."

The child smiled, "Thank you, sir, for this for you." ”

"Give it to me?" Lu Li really felt a little moved, a huge warm current suddenly rose in his heart, took the drawing paper and looked at it, smacking his tongue regretfully, he still couldn't see that this was a portrait of a grandmother! "Thank you so much. By the way, let me introduce myself, my name is Luli and I am from the mainland. ”

"My name is Ding Leilei." The child grabbed his hand and wrote these words in the palm of his hand, "You are...... From the mainland? Where is this country? ”

Lu Li was stunned, he didn't expect that the children in this orphanage would never even hear the name mainland! "The mainland is a general term for a much larger land, officially called China. You don't even know about China, do you? ”

“…………”

"It is the motherland of all the descendants of Yan Huang, including you, me, and these other children, we are all Chinese. I say this, do you understand? ”

"Yes, Mama taught us."

"Well, I thought you didn't know."

The child smiled and asked, "So, where is the mainland?" ”

"The mainland is China, and China is the mainland. This special title is specially used by Hong Kong people to describe the motherland; Well, you may not understand this statement, let me give you an example, do you know Taiwan? For us mainlanders, there are also many people who call it Treasure Island. As long as the name is mentioned, everyone knows that it refers to Taiwan. ”

"I see, it's a pronoun."

Luli smiled, "Yes, it's a pronoun." Yes, little one, you know how to use words briefly. ”

"So, how is the mainland?"

"Good! It is particularly good, in terms of economy and enjoyment of life, it may not be as good as Hong Kong for the time being, but the future will be different. I think that one day, it will be very good and become a great place not inferior to Hong Kong. ”

"So, what about the children of the mainland? How are they? ”

"Well, that's a question......" Luli paused, and then he was stunned to find that the children around him were all leaning closer, raising their little faces to listen to them, "Oh, why are there so many?" ”

The children giggled. Lu Li also smiled, "Okay, I'll tell you about the children of the mainland." Where to start? Well, it's hard for others to say, take myself as an example. He looked up and pondered for a moment, then began to speak, "I grew up with my aunt...... She is a very nice and very nice person, although sometimes she will beat me and scold me, but it is all because of my naughtiness, and ah, every time she hits me, she will feel terrible! I also have two older sisters, both older than me, and they often play pranks with me......"

Hearing him talk about his sister's playful play with him on a winter morning, the children were overjoyed!

"There is also a younger sister, born in 1966, who is the naughtiest girl I have ever met, and who is honest for a moment, except while she is sleeping. Oh, by the way, my little sister was very interesting when she was a child, her crib was next to my little bed, and every night when she wetted the bed, she would squeeze into my bed, and at that time, as long as I touched her wet and cold little body, I had to get up quickly. Remove the mattress from her bed and bake it by the stove - by the time she woke up in the morning, the house smelled of pee. ”

The children laughed out loud! Even the two ladies standing in the doorway were amazed.

"As for the games that our children played, it was also very interesting." He looked down, picked up a few unused pieces of drawing paper, and folded them into small triangles in front of the children, "I'll make it for you?" ”

This was originally a game with a cigarette case, but there are no props at the moment, so I have to use it to replace it temporarily, normally, it is to put the triangular piece of paper on the ground, and the other person uses the same triangle in his hand to pat it from the side, and the requirement is to turn the opponent's triangle over, that is, to win.

The more difficult thing is to catch, you can carry out multiple people together, each person shows their own cigarette box, and sets the order of the shot with the score, the gameplay is as follows: palm up, put the triangle in the palm of the hand, put it straight or obliquely, and then throw the cigarette box into the air, while the palm of the hand is flipped, and the back of the hand is picked up. Children who play for the first time can't catch it at all, and the cigarette case falls all over the floor, which is considered a loss, and someone else has to play - this process is called 'picking'.

If you can catch it, you will naturally enter the next link, throw the cigarette box again, turn the palm of your hand upward, and grab the fallen cigarette box back in the air, this process is called 'grabbing'.

This is just the simplest way to play, and then I felt that it was not enjoyable, so I began to add tricks, such as when catching, I asked to deliberately drop one and could not catch, which is called fixing one; There are also a few that are caught and dropped in advance, which is called catching a few and dropping a few; It takes a bit of acrobatic kung fu and talent to catch a cigarette box, of course, there are masters and low-handers. A master such as Lu Li takes a dozen triangles out every day, and when he comes back, he has a full trouser pocket; Low hands like dogs, often lose a mess, but fortunately he and Luli are the best, every time the latter wins back the triangle, most of them go into his pocket.

Put the pieces of paper in the palm of his hand one by one, and as soon as his hand is raised, the pieces of paper fly, and the back of his hand is flipped to catch again, and then he shakes again, and the pieces of paper fly again, and this time he uses his palm to grasp - he also deliberately shows off, and the palms and backs of his hands keep flipping, and a stack of scattered pieces of paper seems to be glued into one, flying back and forth in the air, flying and falling; Fly up and fall again, dazzling to watch, like performing acrobatics!

The children applauded heartily, "Wow! Great, great! ”

Luli put the pieces of paper back away, opened them one by one, and turned them into reusable pieces of drawing paper, he moved his legs, which were sitting a little sore, and stood up, "That's all for today, I'll come back next week, okay?" ”

"Good!" It was only in a moment that the children's little crystalline hearts accepted the stranger, "Goodbye, sir." ”

Lu Li turned around with a smile, and was stunned, in addition to the two grandmothers at the door, there was another person, who was Ou Chenli. (To be continued.) )
