Chapter 616: Difficult Orphanage
"Hello Uncle Chen," I nodded to Uncle Chen, and said hello first.
"The young man is good, much stronger than your master, okay, let's stop standing outside, let's go into the house quickly" After Uncle Chen said this, he welcomed me and my master into the orphanage.
This orphanage in DD City has taken in more than 60 homeless children, including disabled children abandoned by their parents, children whose parents died in car accidents, and parents who divorced and awarded their children to men, and the men were unable to raise their children in prison, so they sent their children to orphanages, etc., in short, the life experience of these children is very bitter.
The small building of the orphanage looks very old, there are three floors, the first floor is the canteen and the staff's dormitory, and the director's office, the second and third floors are where the children live, when we walked into the small building, I saw two aunts in their forties and fifties with four or five children over a year old were playing, engaged in this line of work, people without love can not do it at all.
"Have you come to adopt a child recently?" Master asked Uncle Chen casually.
"Yes, yes, but all of them are ill-intentioned people, most of them are from other places, and they want to adopt children from me and sell them to others, if they sell well, I can still accept them, if they discount the children's legs and arms and let them ask for food, I can't accept it" Uncle Chen's face was not very good when he said this.
In recent years, there have been many traffickers in China, who have stolen and abducted children and sold them to distant places, just like Uncle Chen just said, many traffickers have discounted the legs and arms of healthy children and thrown them on the street to ask for food, which is a unconscionable thing.
In China in the seventies and eighties, there was no such thing as stealing children, but now people can do anything for the sake of profit. A child is the hope of a family, now everyone in the family is a child, once the child is lost, the hope of the whole family is shattered, Chinese law on child trafficking treason is very light, generally five to ten years, I think those who catch those traffickers who sell children should be dealt with more severely, not to the effect of killing a hundred people, those traffickers will not stop.
"Old Chen, it's really hard for you to stay here all these years," Master patted Uncle Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.
"For the sake of the child, I don't work hard at all" Uncle Chen replied to the master with a smile on his face, and I could see that Uncle Chen's smile at this time was completely from the heart.
At about half past three in the afternoon, a school bus was parked at the entrance of the orphanage, and a group of children about four or five years old jumped happily from the bus, and when these children saw Master, they all rushed to Master's side, and more than a dozen children circled around Master together, and when Master saw these children, his wrinkled face was about to burst into laughter, I didn't expect that Master, who usually had a serious face, was so popular with children.
"Grandpa Jiang, we all miss you," the children said with a smile around the master.
"I miss you too," the master replied happily as he squatted down and took the children's hands
"Okay, don't pester you Grandpa Jiang, go and do your homework, whoever doesn't finish their homework is not allowed to eat dinner" Uncle Chen deliberately pulled his face and said to those children.
"Okay," the children pouted and replied to Uncle Chen, and went upstairs.
"Grandpa Jiang, can you stay here for dinner at night," a cute little girl about five or six years old turned around and said to Master.
"Okay, I'll stay with you for dinner tonight," Master nodded back to the cute-looking little girl.
"Great," the children cheered and ran to the second floor.
Not long after the group of children returned, another group of children came in from outside, these children were between seven and twelve years old, about thirty people, and they had just returned from school.
The moment the slightly older children saw Master, they all gathered around, I didn't expect Master to be so popular in this orphanage, and the children all hugged Master when they saw him.
The last to go back to school were the middle school children, who were much more stable to the children before them, and they walked up to the master, bowed respectfully to the master, and shouted "Hello Grandpa Jiang"
"Master, you usually have a serious face, no smile, I didn't expect you to be quite childlike," I said with a smile while standing beside Master.
"If you are good to the children, the children will be good to you," the master replied to me lightly.
In the evening, Master and I stayed at this orphanage to eat, and we ate two dishes and one soup, stir-fried shredded potatoes with celery, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and then a tofu soup.
The children in the orphanage are very sensible, the older children feed the children first, and then eat, and after the children have eaten, they run out of the cafeteria and run around the playground at will.
"Lao Chen, your food here is getting worse and worse, the children are now the time to grow their bodies, you can't give the children this at all, there is no meat star at all" The master pointed to the dishes on the table and frowned and scolded Uncle Chen with an unhappy face.
"Alas, although the government will give us subsidies every month, when the subsidies they give are far from enough for the expenses of the orphanage, as long as one of the children in the orphanage is sick, more than a dozen of them will be sick together, you say that the children are sick, can I not treat them! In the past few years, there are many people who fall in love with the society will come to the orphanage to donate, or buy some stationery for the children or something, in recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who donate, and now the children in the orphanage can eat is already good, to tell you, I haven't paid the staff for three months, six employees, now there are four left, I can't open the salary of 800 yuan a month for an employee, I am really useless" Uncle Chen sighed and said to the master with a red face, hearing Uncle Chen's words, I felt very uncomfortable.
"Liu Shou, give Uncle Chen the 8,000 yuan in your pocket," Master said as he looked at me.
"En" I nodded to the master, and without hesitation, I put the 8,000 yuan that the master earned today in front of Uncle Chen
"Lao Jiang, you have paid enough for this orphanage, I can't take your money anymore" Uncle Chen pushed the eight thousand yuan I put in front of him in front of the master.
"I still have more than 5,000 in my pocket, all for you" The master took out the wallet in his pocket, and then handed all the money in the wallet to Uncle Chen.
"Lao Jiang, this money is too much, I don't want it," Uncle Chen looked at the more than 10,000 yuan on the table and said to the master with an embarrassed face.
"I didn't give you this money, you took this money to open the employees' wages first, and the rest of the money was used to buy some meat for the children to eat, and no one can suffer the children if they suffer," the master said to Uncle Chen righteously.
"I still have some money here, and I will give it to the children" I took out five hundred yuan from my pocket and handed it to Uncle Chen, and I only kept thirty or forty yuan in change.
"I thank you for the sake of the children," Uncle Chen stood up from the stool and bowed respectfully to Master and me, and I saw Uncle Chen's tears rolling in his eyes.
"Old Chen, it's polite to say this, let's hurry up and eat" After the master said this to Uncle Chen, he picked up the rice bowl and began to eat.
After eating, Master and I played with the children for nearly an hour, and the two of us left the orphanage, the children in the orphanage are very sensible, they call me a big brother, I am also willing to play with them, I used to think that my fate was miserable, but after seeing them, I feel that I am much happier than them, at least I have a grandmother who loves me.
