"Xiaoshan is the first to advocate this matter, or Xiaoshan will talk about it."

It can be seen that the two doctors are a little sleep-deprived, and it is estimated that they stayed up late last night, and when they heard Sun Lao's roll call, Duan Leyue covered his mouth and yawned lightly, and glanced at Dai Xiaoshan next to him and responded.

When the latter heard this, he also rubbed his face that was a little sleep-deprived, looked at the piece of paper in front of him, nodded and said:

"Okay, there are two copies of this written report, one is in Sun Lao's place, and I also sent a telegram to my family for discussion, and I will talk about it here without the script."

Sure enough, it was the reason for staying up late, Dai Xiaoshan's eyes were a little red, and his voice was hoarse when he opened his mouth.

"Uh...... As you all know, we had three busy days from the night before yesterday to last night...... During these three days, we not only saw a different side of this world, but also really got in touch with the church in the new world, which, to be honest, was a bit subversive for us.

Brother Duan and I had a lot of contact with Grandma Angville, the director of the orphanage, and now that we know that she is also the director of the Notre Dame Hospital, I think we should be friends now.

She is a devout Catholic and has a high reputation in the city because of the charity she has done to save many young lives.

As for the reception of the children in the orphanage, it was the doctor's habit to ask for an extra egg every morning to be added to each sick child, but I noticed that Dean Angerville had a look of surprise on his face, yes, you heard me right, not a look of embarrassment, but astonishment.

I casually asked, is there any difficulty?

She smiled and shook her head, saying that there were no eggs at all, and that eggs had never been on the children's tables in the orphanage, and that there were almost no eggs for me and the other grandmothers.

Then she introduced in detail the recipes of herself and the orphanage's nearly 200 children, the daily breakfast is gruel and pickles, and at noon is a piece of black bread or steamed bread, there are no dishes, only dinner is slightly decent, there are black bread or steamed buns, plus fried vegetables and vegetable soup.

The broth is available on Monday and Friday nights, and if there is no broth, there are some seasonal fruits instead, well, that's all there is to it.

This is also the reason why Sun Lao and the others have been buying eggs all over the world for the past two days and sending them to orphanages.

Then, I asked the children about their way out, and the dean's mother told me that the children have no parents and relatives, so their usual way out is to work for others or get married, and the girl is asked for when she is six years old, usually from some large family.

Of course, there are also ordinary families, large families come to buy servants, and ordinary families come to buy child brides.

There were also merchants who needed sailors on their ships, and boys who were ten or twelve years old would be bought by the captains, and some children were needed on board to do handymen, or to be trainee sailors.

Because these children have received more or less literacy education in church schools, they are still Christians, so they are usually more reliable, willing to endure hardships, and more diligent in their work, so when these children grow up, they are still more popular with buyers, and of course, the most important thing is that they are cheap.

The conversation between us was very deep, so to speak, and when I handed over a packet of penicillin powder from the laboratory to the dean's mother, I saw her head bowed, and I could be sure that there were tears in her eyes.

I guess she must have thought of something, she whispered at last, as to what the final fate of these children was, and how the children lived, she didn't know, but I knew that she must have heard something, or knew something.

But there was nothing she could do, because it was not easy for the orphanage to raise the children until they were seven or eight years old.

I heard it very clearly, Xu Zhi's translation at that time was also very accurate, the dean's grandmother clearly said "buy" when she introduced these children to me, yes, the orphanage raised the children, and then sold them to users, well, don't be surprised, there is no law on the protection of minors in this era, and there is no concept of minors and adolescence in society, the only difference between being an adult is that she can work and can't work, and the sign of a girl's adulthood is that she doesn't have her period - even if the little girl comes at the age of eight, she is considered an adult.

"Buying and selling people?"

"It is estimated that there are still human trafficking ......"

"Although these acts are simply crimes in our eyes, they may still be good deeds that save lives in this day and age."

"But it's true that the three views are reversed......"

"The problem is that we're orphans too, you should understand, right?"

Hearing this, Dai Xiaoshan hurriedly clapped his hands and was quiet, and then continued:

"Okay, okay, please don't be surprised, in this era, society is like this, everyone thinks that this is normal, and the orphanage can be done like this is already a recognized, appreciated, and typical charity in this society!

Think about it, what would have happened to these children if there had not been such an orphanage? So at this time, it suddenly occurred to me that on the continent north of us, in the Qing Dynasty, it is still unknown whether there is an orphanage!

Thinking of this, I asked the dean a question again, and I said, hypothetical, I emphasized the word hypothetical, if we buy all these children, is it okay?

Mama replied on the spot, "If you can buy it, it will be a blessing for these children, and the children must be favored by God......

Then I asked another question, and I said to the dean's grandmother at that time, please forgive me for asking you a cruel question, you can not answer it, and the grandmother replied, she has seen all the cruel things with her own eyes, dear doctor, you ask.

I said, I can see that your shortage of funds is very serious, so what should you do if someone puts an abandoned baby at your door when you are not capable?

Mama was silent for a while, and when she looked up at me, she was already in tears, and she told me that in the most difficult time, they ---- Mamma could only cover up the child's crying with loud prayers until the baby stopped crying......"

At this time, Xiaoshan paused, looked at the quiet venue, exhaled, and continued:

And then I said...... I see, then, I assume a situation, the dean's mother...... Assuming that you don't have a financial problem now, how many children can you adopt, Dear Dean? ”

"Brother Dai, although you said the word hypothesis, I understand that I already understand your thoughts, and I fully support it!"

"Oops! Wei Hong, wait for Brother Dai to finish speaking......"

Everyone was obviously a little dissatisfied that Wei Hong interrupted Dai Xiaoshan's speech, but at this time, the doctor nodded to the latter with a smile, and then said to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mama Ingres was a little surprised when I said this, and she looked at me with such determination, as if to confirm what I said, and I repeated, if we give you enough money, how many children can you help?

Mama was in tears again, and then looked at us with tears in her eyes, right, Xu Zhi? You were working as a translator at the time, and you should have seen it best. ”

"Yes, apparently the dean's grandmother still didn't believe what she had just heard."

Xu Zhi added next to him.

"That's right, I can see it too, Mama was surprised, yes, she also looked at me and said are you really an angel?"

"The dean's mother asked me to translate again, and I repeated the translation......"

"And then?"

Someone in the audience asked urgently.
