Chapter 24: Sister Superman
Fengcheng Social Welfare Institute is located in the middle of Banqiao Road in the eastern suburbs of the city, a three-storey white building, lined up in two rows in front and back, with a large courtyard in the middle.
In the northwest corner of the courtyard stands a plane tree. In summer, the lush branches of the plane trees are scattered, and the huge canopy resembles a super green umbrella.
In addition to the sycamore trees, there are several fruit trees in the yard, various vegetables.
This is the only social welfare institution in the town, and it is not only inhabited by poor children who have no father or mother, but also lonely and sick elderly people who have no one to support them.
Su Wu lived here when he was a child.
At that time, it was called the Angel Orphanage, with only a dozen red brick bungalows, and the yard was not as big as it is now. At that time, Su's mother was still ......
Later, the orphanage and the nursing home were merged into one and became the current Fengcheng Social Welfare Institute.
The dilapidated bungalow was replaced by a three-story building, and the yard was several times larger than before. There is even a parking lot in the front yard for the community to park their vehicles.
But no matter how it changes, for Su Wu, this is the place where she once raised her, gave her warmth, and sheltered her from the wind and rain.
In her heart, this is her home, the home where she has lived for more than ten years.
Although, Su's mother is no longer there......
Su's mother dedicated her life to the children in the orphanage, and when she died, she was just over fifty years old. It was cancer, and when it was discovered, it was already at an advanced stage.
That year, Su Wu was thirteen years old.
On the day of the funeral, the north wind was howling and the sky was snowing heavily.
The funeral procession filled the street.
The children who had been rescued by Su's mother came to see her off, including successful people who started a family and founded their own companies, as well as workers who grew up and entered the society. Fathers who are in their thirties who already have children of their own, and children who are only a few years old and ignorant and ignorant.
There were three hundred and eighty-four in all.
Su's mother has never been married in her life and has no children of her own. But at her funeral, these 384 people spontaneously dressed her in linen and filial piety, and gave each other the gift of blood relatives.
They are all Su's mother's children.
Su Wu would come here two or three times a month, bringing some food and daily necessities to visit these poor children, and occasionally helping to take care of the elderly with limited mobility.
She is an orphan, and she can best understand the inner world of these children, and she knows best what they want most in their crystal pure hearts.
Therefore, even though Su Wu's current income is not much, she still insists on taking out a part every month to do her meager help for these children and do what she can.
Su Wu's arrival made the children very happy, and they all rushed to shout: "Sister Su, Sister Su ......"
Su Wu agreed with a smile and distributed the things she brought to the children.
Looking at the sweet smile on her innocent little face, her mouth was still cold and was stuffed with a small piece of sugar by a soft little hand, Su Wu only felt that the sweetness was really sweet from her mouth to her heart. Then, deep in my heart, there was a sour taste.
However, she soon noticed that there was a little girl who had been sitting on a small bench under a big tree, and looked sullen.
Su Wu knows this little girl, her name is Tian Tian, she is four years old this year, she suffers from congenital cleft lip and palate, commonly known as rabbit lip. is abandoned.
Tian Tian has already undergone a repair operation, and she has no problem talking and eating, but the scar on her upper lip is very eye-catching.
Su Wu watched quietly for a while, took a small teddy bear and hid it behind her back, walked over slowly, squatted down and asked softly, "Why don't you go over and play with the children?" ”
"Tian Tian is not happy." The little girl's voice was aggrieved.
"Oh...... That's it! Su Wu made a look of understanding, blinked his eyes and asked, "Then why is Tiantian unhappy?" ”
The little girl looked at Su Wu, her eyes were suddenly full of tears, and she said for a long time, "Sister Su...... Brother Wen Hao, he left. ”
Su Wu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he really didn't see Xiao Wenhao just now. It was a sensible and beautiful little boy, one year older than Tian Tian.
"Then where did Brother Wen Hao go?"
As soon as Su Wu asked, tears suddenly poured out of her sweet eyes, and they fell to the ground like beads with broken threads: "Grandpa Pei said...... He has a new home and will not live with us in the future. ”
Tian Tian couldn't hold back her tears anymore, "But ...... However, Brother Wen Hao said that he would protect me, and I really want to go to my new home with him...... Woohoo......"
Su Wu felt uncomfortable for a while, hugged Tiantian in his arms, and patted it gently.
She had already understood, Xiao Wenhao was adopted away.
In recent years, the children in the welfare home have not been as good as before. As long as the child is healthy, free of disabilities and of the right age, he or she will soon be adopted. At present, there are only a few dozen children in the entire welfare home, but the elderly account for a large proportion.
If...... If Tiantian was also a normal and healthy child, she might have had a new home of her own. However, there are not so many ifs......
When Xiao Tiantian's crying was a little quieter, Su Wu pulled up a smile, looked at her big eyes glistening with tears, and asked, "Tiantian, do you like Brother Wen Hao?" ”
Tian Tian nodded.
Su Wu asked again: "Then do you want him to be happy every day?" ”
Tian Tian thought for a while and nodded heavily.
"Then let's wish him a happy day in his new home, okay? If Brother Wen Hao knew that Tian Tian was here because he was crying his nose, would Tian Tian think he would still be happy? ”
Xiao Tiantian looked at Su Wu with a pair of big watery eyes, as if she understood or not, but she still nodded and wiped her tears with the back of her hand: "Tian Tian doesn't cry, Tian Tian wants Brother Wen Hao to be happy every day." ”
Su Wu's heart softened, and tears almost fell.
But she quickly smiled and said, "Tian Tian is the most well-behaved!" Is it okay for Sister Su to make a magic trick for Tiantian? ”
"Good!"
"Close your eyes and don't peek!"
The little girl obediently closed her eyes.
"Hulahula...... Change, change, change! Su Wu took the teddy bear that he had hidden before in his hand and said loudly, "Sweet and look, what did Sister Su conjure up for you?" ”
"Yikes! It's a bear! Still a talking bear! The little girl finally burst into tears and laughed.
The teddy bear's silly voice immediately attracted a large group of children, who surrounded Su Wu in the center and chattered:
"Wow! Sister Su is amazing! ”
"Sister Su is such an amazing magician!"
Su Wu immediately patted his chest: "Of course!" Sister Su is more powerful than Superman! ”
The children were in a hurry.
As a result of bragging to the children, the children dragged her to a plum tree and asked her to pick plums from the tree.
They all said, "Sister Su is more powerful than Superman!" You can fly up in one fell swoop! ”
Su Wu: "......"
Uh, this ...... Sister Su really can't do it!
But, who made her just brag? Looking at the group of little people around her, the little eyes, Su Wu gritted her teeth and crawled! Climb up today no matter what!
With great effort, the tree climbed and a lot of plums were picked.
But the problem is that it is easy to go up the tree and difficult to get off the tree, and she is trapped in the tree and can't get down.
