Section 1459 Children in Welfare Homes

The Spring Festival is the most important traditional program of the Celestial Dynasty, every eve of the Spring Festival, there will be countless people who put down their work and embark on the road back to their hometowns, and after the Spring Festival, when they return to daily life, these people will set off again at the same time and squeeze on the return journey together.

Because the number of people is so large that it is like a tidal wave, people have given such large-scale migration activities names such as 'homecoming', 'migrant workers', 'students' and so on.

In South Korea, although there is no so-called 'Spring Festival period' like the Celestial Empire, there is a so-called 'Mid-Autumn Peak Period' for reasons of the same nature, when it comes to the Mid-Autumn Festival, people have to go back to their hometowns to gather with their relatives for the festival, and then they will return to the city together within a day or two after the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival because they want to return to the rhythm of their daily lives.

South Korea's total population is just over 50 million, while Seoul has a one-fifth of its resident population, reaching 10 million. How many of these residents are natives of Seoul? Not to mention half of it, it is estimated that it is not even one-fifth.

Although some people will choose not to return to their hometown, but to bring their relatives to Seoul to celebrate the festival together, but if you have to calculate carefully, such people are still in the minority. The reason is simple, it is because the elders tend to prefer the 'atmosphere' of the festival in their hometown.

With the exception of a small group of people who choose to spend the holiday in Seoul, the vast majority of others choose to return to their hometowns before the Chuseok Festival. If you count the number of people, there are at least seven or eight million.

Such a huge flow of people. It's not easy to get around in just a day or two. In fact, every few days. South Korea, especially Seoul, will be tested by various transportation facilities.

KTX trains are full of people, tickets for domestic routes have been sold out early, and as for the long-distance buses of various bus companies, not to mention, absolutely every bus is full.

But even so, there are still many people who can't squeeze into the road back to their hometowns. In desperation, these people can only choose to travel by car. Of course, there are also some people who are reluctant to squeeze public transportation. So I took the initiative to choose this method.

Whatever the reason, I chose to drive myself anyway. And at the same time, the number of people doing this is very large, and the traffic on the road is very huge. The big traffic jam around the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a routine that is bound to happen every year.

When Li Jingyuan and the girls of Girls' Generation set off from home. I encountered a big traffic jam. Fortunately, at this time, most ordinary people returned to Seoul after the festival, and the direction of progress was from outside Seoul to the inside, while Lee Kyung-won and the girls of Girls' Generation were walking from the city to the suburbs. The direction of progress was just the opposite, Li Jingyuan and the girls happened to stagger the lanes where the traffic jam was very strict, and they finally didn't lose too much time along the way.

It just didn't delay 'too much', and it took a little more time than usual - it took an hour to drive on weekdays, but today it took an hour and a half.

It took an hour and a half to get from home at half past ten. As a result, when Li Jingyuan arrived at the welfare home with the girls. It was exactly 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

"OPPA, isn't this time a little inappropriate?" When he was about to arrive at the welfare home, Xu Xian, the old man sitting in Li Jingyuan's car, asked with some worry.

It's no wonder that anyone came to the door at 12 o'clock at noon? Moreover, the destination is a welfare home, and the living materials there are more tense than ordinary families, even if they know that Li Jingyuan will bring Girls' Generation to the door today, as long as they don't appear, the aunts in the welfare home will definitely not make a sufficient amount of lunch first--if the meal is ready, Li Jingyuan and the girls don't show up, won't a lot of ingredients be wasted? It may not be a big deal for a wealthy family, but it is absolutely not allowed for a welfare institution that needs to be budget-conscious the most.

The possibility of the aunts making lunch and waiting is very low, then, after this point in time, basically they will not be able to catch lunch. Of course, Xu Xian is not worried for this reason, after all, lunch or something is still very easy to solve, but it is really not good, just buy some instant noodles at the nearby store, anyway, instant noodles as a main meal is not a big deal for Koreans at all.

What Xu Xian is most worried about is actually worried that the aunts will feel guilty and embarrassed. As a host, it is still a rude thing to not prepare a meal when a guest comes to the door.

"Don't worry. It's not once or twice, we've been there so many times, and the aunts don't treat us as outsiders. Unlike Xu Xian, who was a little worried, Li Jingyuan had a big grinning expression, and he didn't think that he would encounter an embarrassing scene after a while.

The truth was just as Li Jingyuan expected, when he and the girls arrived, the two aunts in the welfare home did not have any fuss reaction at all. Even, only one aunt came forward to say hello, and the other aunt continued to take care of the children and manage them to eat well.

“OPPA~!” Although under the management of the aunt, the doll heads did not leave their positions, but this did not prevent them from greeting Li Jingyuan and the girls of Girls' Generation. No, the little girl sitting closest to the door held a spoon in one hand and shouted sweetly to Li Jingyuan in a milky voice.

"Yo, isn't this our cutest little Ji-so, let me see, what are you eating?" Seeing the little girl greeting him, Li Jingyuan also quickly showed a smile, and handed the bag in his hand to Yun'er, who was following him, and he squatted down to the little girl's side first, looked at her small bowl, and touched her little head.

"Noodles~! OPPA, look, I can use chopsticks~! Before, she was still holding a spoon in her hand, but after Li Jingyuan asked, this little girl immediately put down the spoon and replaced it with chopsticks that she didn't like to use just now. After concentrating on pouring it in the small bowl for a while, he picked up a few noodles and smiled as if offering a treasure to Li Jingyuan.

…………………………………………………………………………………………

This little kid named Jisoo is just over three years old. The other children were not sent after the death of both parents. Either he was abandoned after he was born, and then he was adopted by the welfare home, and compared to these children, Jisoo's life experience is even more sad and helpless.

The person who sent Jisoo to the welfare home was none other than her biological mother.

Some people may say that such a mother is too ruthless to send her children to a welfare home in person, right?

In fact, it is not like that. Jisoo's mother would send her to a welfare home. It's not because she doesn't want Jisoo anymore, but because she can't continue to raise the little girl.

Because he was also an orphan, he didn't receive much education when he was a child. When she grew up, in order to support herself, Jisoo's mother had to choose to sell her labor more hard than others, working two jobs a day, and sometimes even two part-time jobs.

One night three years ago. Jisoo's mother, who finished her third part-time job, was violated by a thug when she returned to her shabby nest. Replaced by someone else. I had to call the police to investigate, but Jisoo's mother, who had no relatives and no friends, had no choice but to hide it in order not to lose her job and survive.

Later, at the age of two or three months, although there was also a pregnancy reaction, because there was not much change in her figure, Jisoo's mother simply felt that she was too tired. will often lack of energy and nausea and vomiting.

Until one day he suddenly fainted and was pulled by 120 to check it out. She realized that she was actually pregnant.

For other mothers, pregnancy is definitely something to be happy about, but for Jisoo's mother, it's no different than the sky falling - it's already hard enough to feed herself, let alone raise a child.

If you want to get rid of the child, you need to spend a sum of money to do surgery, and it also costs money to recover and recuperate after surgery. In addition, it is also out of the nature of a mother that Jisoo's mother is reluctant to do that, and in the end, because she wants to have one more relative in this world who is related to her, she still chose to continue to insist and give birth to Jisoo.

During the later stages of pregnancy, Jisoo's mother had no way to work, and as a result, after a few months, plus the hospitalization fee when she gave birth to Jisoo, she squeezed out all her already meager savings.

Ordinary mothers have to be confined, but Jisoo's mother can't do that because of the pressure of life. Less than a month after giving birth to Jisoo, she had to drag her body that had not yet recovered to work again.

Life was not good, but after giving birth to a child, Jisoo's mother's physique became more and more fragile. However, in order to support herself and the extra Jisoo, she has to work more than before. As a result, in just one year, Jisoo's mother's physical condition was gradually destroyed to the limit.

When Jisoo was one and a half years old and less than two years old, Jisoo's mother finally couldn't hold on anymore - not because she wanted to give up, but because she had been tormenting herself for a long time, she had cancer that could not be treated.

The child was just over a year old when he was diagnosed with cancer. Although it is not yet at an advanced stage, it may be cured, but for the poor Jisoo's mother, there is no way to take out such a sum of money to treat herself. In other words, the medical certificate is no different from the death sentence for her.

I don't have much time left, and if I die, won't Jisoo, who has no one to take care of, just die? In despair, Jisoo's mother can only choose to send Jisoo to a welfare home.

At this point in the story, most people should feel very sad, but there are also some heartless people who will ask, 'Why can't you wait until you die and let the public agency send Jisoo to a welfare home?' ’

From Jisoo's point of view, if she sees her mother die after she grows to three or four years old and begins to be sensible, sadness and crying are inevitable, but if she doesn't know who her mother is, she only knows that she was abandoned by her mother, then the word mother may only be hatred for her.

Without memory, there is no nostalgia. Nor will I grieve and cry because of nostalgia. Not wanting to see her child too sad, Jisoo's mother chooses to make her child hate herself by sending her to a welfare home while she is still ignorant.

The child is in a welfare home, but she cannot appear as a mother. Even if he wanted to visit Jisoo, he could only say that he was a 'kind person' who came to the welfare home to help. How sad and cruel such a situation is for a mother.

Even though she cried every time she saw it, Jisoo's mother still didn't give up visiting the welfare home, and she was already very satisfied to see Jisoo. In other words, seeing Jisoo's occasional smiling face is the only happiness in her life.

But it's such a little bit of happiness. It still didn't last long. A few months after Jisoo was sent to a welfare home, when she was two years old, Jisoo's mother's body completely collapsed. After fainting again, she left this world after only two or three days in the hospital.

Jisoo herself doesn't know how great her mother is, but the aunt at the welfare home knows it. Every time I think of the moment when Jisoo's mother died. is still reluctant to recognize each other in front of the ignorant Jisoo. She would always be in tears.

Li Jingyuan often comes over in his free time, and he doesn't meet his aunt once or twice, but occasionally once or twice, he will ask 'how did this child get here'. Once, he happened to ask about Jisoo, and he learned about Jisoo and her mother from his aunt.

Although he is a screenwriter and has written a lot of bloody scripts, in fact, Lee Kyung-won doesn't like to watch Korean dramas that make people cry. Ultimately. Or because of the occasional emotional side of his character, when he sees a bloody drama, he can't help but fluctuate in love.

You may be very calm at work. is mainly rational, but when he came to the welfare home, Li Jingyuan's emotional side must have the upper hand. In this case, after hearing about Jisoo and her mother, it would be strange if she wasn't touched.

In fact, since knowing Jisoo's life experience, Li Jingyuan unconsciously regarded this little pity as the one who needed the most love and more care than other children. If it weren't for the scruples of his family and identity, Li Jingyuan would have wanted to adopt Jisoo directly and raise her as a daughter.

can't be adopted directly, and in desperation, Li Jingyuan had no choice but to retreat to the next best, and every time he came to the welfare home, he loved Xiao Zhixiu well. It is precisely because of his active closeness that Xiao Zhixiu regards him as the closest adult except for the two aunts.

……………………………………………………………………………………

"Mmmm, that's amazing, give me a bite to eat, OPPA just came, I haven't eaten yet, I'm hungry." Ji-so's smiling face is just like Xiao Tian. made it as cute and innocent, after Li Jingyuan saw it, he also showed a heartfelt smile. In order to make the child even happier, he cooperated with Xiao Zhixiu's words, opened his mouth and made a mouth shape that wanted to be fed.

"Hmm~~, Auntie said, a good boy has to eat by himself." Subconsciously wanted to feed Li Jingyuan a pair of chopsticks, but after thinking of what his aunt said before eating, Xiao Zhixiu unconsciously hesitated. After hesitating, she turned her head to look at her aunt, who was taking care of a small baby.

"Just a moment." Seeing the anticipation in Xiao Zhixiu's eyes, Auntie did not disappoint her, and nodded with a motherly smile. However, in order to keep Xiao Zhixiu from going too far and forgetting to eat, she still said a small restriction.

"Hmm~!" One hit is enough, for Xiao Zhixiu. I saw that the little girl nodded heavily, and the smile on her face became even bigger.

It seems that he feels that the noodles on the chopsticks can't fill Li Jingyuan's big mouth (from Zi Jixiu's point of view, Li Jingyuan's mouth is definitely a big hole after it is opened), Xiao Zhixiu put the chopsticks into the bowl again, tried hard a few times, and picked up a few more noodles than just now. Then, she nodded with satisfaction, and while stretching out her chopsticks towards Li Jingyuan, she shouted 'Ah~~~~' like a little adult.

Compared to the various delicacies that can be eaten casually, Xiao Zhixiu's chopstick noodles are really nothing. However, with her smile as a side dish, Li Jingyuan felt that these noodles were really delicious.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, Jisoo's noodles are so delicious~." While touching Xiao Jisoo's head, he drew a thumbs up. Li Jingyuan couldn't help but want to praise this cute and annoying little girl.

"OPPA, when I grow up, I'll make you a big ~~~ bowl of noodles, oh, by the way, there are the best and most delicious eggs~!" got Li Jingyuan's praise, and Xiao Zhixiu was even happier. After feeding Li Jingyuan a pair of chopsticks just now, Xiao Zhixiu felt that she was already an adult like the aunt who was feeding the baby, so she gave a small promise to Li Jingyuan in a milky voice in the tone of a little adult.
