Chapter 194: A long way to go

Some children are reluctant to eat the pastries they have at once, so they cherish them and hide them in their pockets, wanting to keep them and eat them slowly.

But looking at the other people's happy appearance, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva.

Ah Man looked at this scene, and couldn't help but think of herself who couldn't eat enough before, but fortunately, she is now a girl's person, and she not only eats well every day!

And Zhu Ming was sad for a while, as if he saw himself when he was a child.

The bright smiles of the children eating pastries made his heart even more sour, and at this time, he seemed to understand why Miss Zhao would set up a foundation to do charity.

When the strict steward learned that someone was distributing pastries to the children outside, he wondered if someone was deliberately using the pastries to lure the children, so he hurried out, but what he saw was the scene of the children talking and laughing around Xue Wu.

He walked over, and the children stood up one after another and greeted him, "Uncle Yan." ”

Steward Yan nodded, his eyes fell on Xue Wu and the three of them, and he quickly determined that in the three-person room, Xue Wu was the one in charge, because it could be seen from the standing posture and standing position that Ah Man and Zhu Ming respected her.

He stepped forward and arched his hand towards Xue Wu, "I don't know what the girl is called?" ”

"My surname is Zhao."

"Miss Zhao, who are you?" His gaze fell on the pastries in the children's hands.

Xue Wu said: "Why don't you go in and talk about it?" ”

Yan Guan Shi apologized and made a gesture of invitation to a few people, "Please come in." ”

In the yard, there are girls drying clothes, boys feeding chickens, and a few children stringing beads.

The strict steward wiped his hand on his trouser leg, a little embarrassed: "Tell Miss Zhao to see and laugh, there is a bit of chaos here." ”

Xue Wan shook her head to show that she didn't mind.

She walked over to the group of children doing handicrafts, stopped and watched, several children were a little cramped by her, but their hands were still sharp, and the movement of the beads was fast and steady.

"What are you guys doing here?" She asked softly.

An older girl replied, "Sister, we are stringing beads, and if they are strung they can be exchanged for money." ”

"Oh? How much can a string be exchanged? ”

Girl: "A bunch of money." ”

"I think this string of beads is very delicate, how can it be sold for a penny?"

The girl looked at Yan Guanshi, obviously not knowing how to answer.

Yan Guan said: "Miss Zhao, I took the work of stringing beads from someone else, and the beads belong to someone else, so we just earn a hard fee." ”

Xue Wu: "But I think their handiwork is worth more than just that little money. ”

She picked up a rabbit-shaped bead hairpin that had been strung up, "These beads and silk threads are very ordinary, and the cost will never exceed 5 Wen, but such a string can be sold for dozens of Wen when it is resold in another hand." It can be said that their craftsmanship is far more valuable than the beads themselves. ”

Yan Guan Shi's heart was shocked.

The girls who were already stringing beads couldn't help but look at her, their eyes shy and shiny.

This is the first time they have been praised so bluntly.

Xue Wu put down the beaded hairpin, "Strict management, can you take me around?" ”

Yan Guan hesitated and nodded.

Although I don't know the purpose of this Zhao girl's coming here, it can be seen from her words and deeds that she is definitely not here for fun, and it is likely that she wants to adopt a child?

Even if it's not, the Fairclove Bureau is not a private place, as long as you don't come to find trouble on purpose, you can come.

After following the strict management around, Xue Wu also had a more detailed understanding of the situation of the Huiyou Bureau.

The life of the Benefit Fields Bureau is obviously not very good, the vacant land has been used by the strict management to transform into vegetable fields, and some domestic animals such as chickens, ducks and geese have been raised, which is considered self-sufficient.

Most of the children in the bureau are girls, and most of the boys have some kind of physical defect.

This also makes sense, even in later generations, the concept of patriarchy still exists, and even deep-rooted in the hearts of some people, and in this era of inheritance, patriarchy must be even more serious.

And many families can't afford to raise children, and girls are born, and the better ones are abandoned by their parents on the side of the road, and if they are unlucky, they are drowned directly.

Boys can be discarded, except in a few cases where they are accidentally lost and left unsupported, and most of them are physically disabled and their families cannot afford to treat them.

Don't look at Fengchi County, which is rich and prosperous on the surface, but in fact, the vast majority of families are just ordinary people who are barely struggling to make ends meet.

This can be seen from this government-run Childcare Bureau.

This is still a situation where there is government funding every month, and the other two private ones, I don't know what the situation is.

Xue Wu feels that her philanthropy has a long way to go.

Finally, the group came to the hall.

The steward asked, "Miss Zhao is here, but she wants to adopt a child?" ”

Judging from the way Miss Zhao was close to those children just now, she obviously liked children, and judging from her age, she was likely to marry into her husband's family and never had children for several years, so Yan Guan made such a guess.

As soon as Yan Guanshi's words came out, a group of children in the courtyard couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Xue Wan shook her head.

Seeing this, the eyes of the children who had originally expressed their expectations dimmed for a moment, but in an instant, they rekindled their hope.

"No, I'm here to donate a sum of money to the Fairclove Bureau."

Yan Guan was shocked in advance, and then rejoiced, "Really? ”

Xue Wu: "Naturally, Aman, Zhu Ming, bring in the things we brought and distribute them to the children." ”

Ah Man and Zhu Ming moved things in from the car and put them on the stone table in the yard, but if they couldn't fit on the table, they simply put them on the ground.

The children were so happy that they touched and touched the new snacks and toys they had arrived.

Seeing that the children were as happy as the New Year, Steward Yan's original serious expression melted, got up from the chair, and bowed deeply to Xue Wu: "Yan is here to thank Miss Zhao for the children." ”

The children also came to thank her sensibly, and some timidly grabbed her by the sleeve and gave her their treasures.

There are smooth and round pebbles, cicadas, etc., which are not valuable things, but they are the children's hearts, Xue Wu accepted them one by one, thanked them, and put them in her purse.

Ah Man and Zhu Ming also received sincere thanks from the children.

Xue Wu touched the children's heads, watched them jump away, and got up to continue to talk to Yan Guan.

Yan Guan thought that what she had just distributed to the children was a batch of supplies she had just said, but it turned out to be not at all! Those were just gifts from her to visit the children this time!

"Yan Guan, you should have heard of me, I am Zhao Xiaoxian, the owner of Zhao Ji Snack Shop, and I have just set up a charitable foundation recently, specializing in charity, such as donating a batch of materials to the Qionglin Childcare Bureau this time.

"I have a general understanding of the situation of the Childcare Bureau, but it is up to you to draw up a list of what the children are missing. This is my business card, which says the address of the FairPart, if you draw up a list, just go directly to the foundation, if there is no problem with the list, then we will buy all the materials on the list and send it to the Fairspot. ”
