Chapter 216: Long-term Plans
"Teacher Lu, you're back, how is Guoguo?"
Aunt Wang was choosing vegetables to prepare for dinner, and when she saw the two of them entering the house, she patted the dirt on her hands and hurriedly walked over.
"Don't worry, Aunt Wang, Guoguo is fine." Lu Mengxuan put Guoguo on the bed on one side and said.
This bed should be Aunt Wang's bed, and there are few rooms in the dilapidated factory, so the kitchen and bedroom will be next to each other, and the conditions are also difficult.
After some tossing and running, Guoguo had fallen asleep, although there was a trace of fatigue on her little face, and her breathing was steady, there was no big problem.
"I'm glad you came, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do."
Aunt Wang's face was full of guilt, and tears flashed in her eyes and she continued: "If there is really an accident this time, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life." ”
"Don't say that, Aunt Wang, it's not easy for you to take care of these children alone, and no one wants to see such a thing happen." Lu Mengxuan sighed and comforted.
She knew in her heart that these children were all taken care of by Aunt Wang alone, which was very hard in itself.
What's more, they all have all kinds of disabilities, ordinary people will be bored to take care of one, Aunt Wang can be regarded as having done her best, of course she will not have the slightest blame.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, it's about to fall now, and the autumn harvest at home is too busy, so I want to go back and help." Aunt Wang said with a look of guilt on her face.
"Okay, when are you going to go back?"
Aunt Wang is a rural woman, and her family has more than a dozen acres of land, all of which are planted at home by her husband, and she comes out to work to subsidize the family.
In the past, during the autumn harvest season, he would also ask for a one-to-two-week vacation to go back to the autumn harvest, so Lu Mengxuan agreed without hesitation.
"Just these two days." Aunt Wang replied in a whisper.
"Okay, I'll find a temporary nanny to take care of them first, and you can go back with peace of mind."
Lu Mengxuan paused and continued: "I'll give you an extra thousand yuan, which is considered as travel expenses and buying some food for the children at home, after all, you have been outside for a long time and have taken little care of them, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation." ”
"No, no, you just spent that little salary, and it was all spent on these children, why am I embarrassed to ask you for this money?" Aunt Wang hurriedly waved her hand and refused.
"Don't talk about Aunt Wang like that, if you talk from the heart, if you usually give you the salary, if you change it to someone else, you will definitely not come here to take care of these children."
"Teacher Lu, I'm ......" Aunt Wang's face showed an embarrassed look, and she stopped talking.
"What's the matter, Aunt Wang, you're so familiar, just say it directly?"
Lu Mengxuan had already sensed something, and asked anxiously.
"Teacher Lu, my child is going to junior high school and needs to go to the county seat to accompany him, so I won't come back when I go back this time." Aunt Wang said embarrassedly.
From her flickering eyes and weak tone, Zhang Yang knew that this was just her excuse.
However, it is understandable that with her age, it is much easier to find a nanny job outside than to take care of these mentally disabled children here.
Although I don't know how much salary Lu Mengxuan gives her, but considering that this girl relies on that dead salary, how can she have the money to open her to a very high price?
"Aunt Wang, you can't leave these children."
Lu Mengxuan was a little at a loss, and hurriedly continued: "You have taken care of them for three years, you know their situation best, they also treat you as a relative, if you leave, they will also be sad." ”
"But ......"
"Aunt Wang, if you think the salary is not suitable, I can add more to you."
As soon as Lu Mengxuan's words came out, Aunt Wang's tears burst out of her eyes at once, and her body began to tremble.
Reluctantly glanced at Guoguo on the bed, which showed that she was also very reluctant in her heart.
"Teacher Lu, don't be angry when I say something." Aunt Wang wiped the tears on her face and continued with a choked voice: "You also rely on your salary to support these children, and you are not a rich person, how can I be embarrassed to let you add money?" ”
She didn't wait for Lu Mengxuan to answer, she glanced at the simple room, and the vegetables on the side were very fresh.
continued: "I've wanted to leave here many times, but I'm embarrassed to say when I see you taking care of these children so kindly, but when are you going to take care of them? ”
"Aunt Wang, if we don't take care of them, what will they do?"
Tears are the most contagious thing for women.
Lu Mengxuan also burst into tears at this time and continued: "Their relatives have already left them alone, should we also lose them?" These children are so pathetic......"
When she said this, she couldn't cry, and Aunt Wang reached out to wipe her tears in distress, her face was full of motherly kindness.
"But you're still young, there's no need to delay yourself for these children."
After a pause, he continued with a long sigh: "Send these children to the government department, we don't care, you don't have to run here after work, you can buy a few new clothes and have a boyfriend if you have money, this is your life." ”
"Ahem, Aunt Wang, she doesn't have to look for a boyfriend, I ......"
Zhang Yang quickly stood up and waved his hand, although he didn't finish speaking, but even a fool could understand the meaning.
He thought to himself, I've been with her twice, don't you understand?
If it weren't for her boyfriend, would she have eaten enough to come to see these children in the wilderness?
Of course, this was his angry thought, and when he saw these children for the first time, he felt pity in his heart, and he was not sure if he would come to take care of them often.
"Shut up."
Lu Mengxuan was really angry, thinking that at such a sad moment, you still have the heart to make money, is there still humanity?
"Xuanxuan, don't be angry, I'm ......" Zhang Yang stood up and walked over to the two of them.
"Call me Teacher Lu."
"Then don't call anything."
Zhang Yang thought to himself, I'm not so stupid, guarding Aunt Wang to call you Teacher Lu, how can I change my words in the future, and continued: "Doesn't Steve's Poten Group have a charity fund? Wouldn't it be enough to use that money? ”
In fact, he still wants to ask, what about the 500,000 in my card?
It's just that I don't dare to open my mouth in the current situation, otherwise I will seem to be too unmanly.
"The money is used in a wide range of areas, including your 500,000 yuan, for example, in formal charities, orphanages and some children who can't afford to go to school, so after it is distributed to the bottom, it is very small."
Lu Mengxuan was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he continued to explain: "The children here are all adopted by me myself, and they have no formal qualifications, if the money is used on them, there is a lack of effective supervision, and I am afraid of being gossiped by others, so I am preparing to go through the formal procedures of an orphanage, which will be much more convenient." ”
"Is it possible to use the money after completing the formalities?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.
In fact, after hearing Lu Mengxuan's words, Aunt Wang's face began to be full of excitement and excitement.
After all, she can't bear these children, and even if she becomes a regular orphanage, she can be regarded as having a formal job.
"Even with formalities, there is very little money available, because there are so many children who need help, and it's not just a few of them."
Lu Mengxuan was a little helpless, pondered for a while, and suddenly raised his head and continued: "Aunt Wang, but don't worry, I will definitely increase your salary, as long as you can stay." ”
"Silly boy, I want to raise my salary, but I don't want you to give me a raise, and I am reluctant to leave these children."
Aunt Wang couldn't hide her disappointment, but she still said kindly: "I just don't want you to work too hard and spend your youth and energy on these children." ”
"Ahem, Aunt Wang, we both have the same idea, and I don't want to see her work too hard."
Zhang Yang walked over and continued: "Since you are reluctant to let her give you a salary increase, then I will give you a salary increase, who made me her, right?" ”
Who did he want to say that made me her boyfriend? But when the words came to his mouth, he was afraid that Lu Mengxuan would turn his face on the spot, so he replaced it with that.
"You ...... up"
He said it quickly, not to mention that compared with the salary increase that he was Lu Mengxuan, Aunt Wang obviously paid more attention to the former.
I can't blame Aunt Wang for being greedy for money, after all, the fact that she has been here for so long to take care of the children has shown her enthusiasm, but who doesn't want to make more money under the same conditions?
Lu Mengxuan didn't get angry, Zhang Yang always surprised her, this time she also wanted to hear what he thought?
Regardless of whether what he said was true or not, at least leave Aunt Wang behind, otherwise he would have to take care of these children without attending class.
And if you hire someone again, you will definitely not be willing to come with such a small salary.
It is not necessarily as patient and familiar as Aunt Wang, and she has to start adapting again, which is what the children and themselves do not want to see.
"Well, I'll pay you a salary according to the job you have now, whether it's vacation or welfare, it's the same as them."
Zhang Yang had already made up his mind just now, anyway, he had more than 20 cards, and it didn't matter if he took out one.
continued: "I'm going to rebuild this place, build a two-story building, and hire more people to take care of the children, so that you and Xuanxuan don't have to work too hard." ”
"Really? Does it cost a lot of money? Aunt Wang glanced at Lu Mengxuan and said.
Zhang Yang was brought by Lu Mengxuan, and she should know very well whether there is so much money, so Aunt Wang will look at her with expectant eyes.
In the countryside, building a two-story building is a very decent thing, not to mention paying oneself according to the standard of eating public meals, which is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing.
The people who eat public meals are all high-income, and they usually have more benefits and benefits, but if they can have that kind of treatment as a rural woman, they will not be envied to death by the villagers when they go home?
Of course, the beautiful imagination was only a temporary moment, and then Aunt Wang looked at Zhang Yang with questioning eyes.
"Really Aunt Wang, he ...... There's a lot of money. When Lu Mengxuan said this, he obviously lacked confidence.
Zhang Yang is a student, and he gave himself 500,000 yuan last time, and it can be seen from his sincere expression at that time that it was all his belongings.
