The orphanage is not a small rural courtyard.

The orphanage had no gates, and the two broken gates were placed across the threshold, serving as temporary fences.

"Mom! I'm back! ”

The chicks screamed excitedly and jumped over the fence and entered the yard.

"Come back!"

Shen Cao screamed and stopped the little chick.

"Move the door first."

The little chick quickly jumped back to the door and moved the wooden door with Shen Cao.

The children in the yard all saw the little chicks and Shen Cao, some called the little chicks by name and begged for hugs, and some looked at the little chicks and smirked, and the children flowed down the corners of their mouths.

But I just didn't see the mother of the chicks.

"Where's our mother?" The chick asked Shen Cao.

Before Shen Cao could answer, a woman's voice came from the hall.

"Tangerines are back?"

When the chicks heard the sound, they ran to the hall.

Shen Cao explained to Qin Yihong and the others: "My mother is on her feet and can't walk. ”

Qin Yihong is not here to make vanity, it doesn't matter if there is someone to receive him.

Qin Yihong asked everyone to get out of the car and prepare to move things to the kitchen.

At this time, the chick suddenly carried the "mother" out.

The eyes of the little chick cub and her mother Jiang Xiulan were red, and at a glance, they knew that the mother and son hugged and cried.

Everyone in the orphanage is very thin, Shen Cao is already thin, Jiang Xiulan is even thinner than Shen Cao, her eyes are sunken, her cheekbones are protruding, and even her hair is very thin.

When everyone saw Jiang Xiulan, they stopped what they were doing.

Shen Cao hurriedly ran over and moved a bench for Jiang Xiulan to sit down.

Jiang Xiulan shook her head and refused to sit down, she curled up her left foot, beckoned to the children in the courtyard, and called them over: "Let's bow to the benefactors." ”

The ropes tied to the children's bodies were very long, and they would not control their movements, and the children who understood came to Jiang Xiulan and looked curiously at the stranger in the yard.

There were also a few children who couldn't understand what Jiang Xiulan said, and stood in place with dull eyes, snorting their sticky fingers, and drip down their fingers.

"Click."

Zhong Xi raised his camera and filmed this scene.

Then, Zhong Xi's camera was aimed at Jiang Xiulan and the group of children.

Jiang Xiulan grabbed the chick's hand and said, "Hello, I'm the mother of the orange, Jiang Xiulan." Thank you for sending the oranges back and bringing us so many things. ”

Jiang Xiulan's thanks were unpretentious, without clichés, and after speaking, she bowed to Qin Yihong and the others.

Jiang Xiulan and Shen Cao's speaking style is the same, and Qin Yihong and the others have already been mentally prepared.

Qin Yihong waved his hand: "You rest, let's move things down." Seeing that it was noon, it was time to take these things to cook for the children. ”

Jiang Xiulan's eyes were filled with tears again excitedly, and she said three "yes" in a row.

Shen Cao didn't have any extra nonsense, and as soon as Qin Yihong's words fell, she rushed out of the door.

Shen Cao didn't take the meat and vegetables from the first car, but walked to Li Zhou's car and carried two bags of flour first.

Seeing this, Li Zhou also took the flour first.

Zhong Xi brought rice, Xia Xiaoqin carried meat, and everyone lined up into the kitchen.

The kitchen is very large, and the cleaning is also very clean, but it is very empty, and as far as the eye can see, except for the bottom of the noodle bowl, it is the cabbage that is placed on the ground in a row.

When Shen Cao entered the kitchen, he opened the flour bag and poured the flour inside into the noodle jar.

Qin Yihong's eyelids jumped when he saw this, and he squinted at Shen Cao and asked, "Are you afraid that we will regret it and take things away again?" ”

Shen Cao's movements froze for a moment, and the action of pouring flour became faster.

After the two bags of flour were poured into the noodle jar, Shen Cao replied: "There are rats at home, and I am afraid that the rats will bite the flour bags to pieces." ”

Everyone could see that Shen Cao's answer was not careful, but no one said anything.

Liu Duobao said: "I'll go and show my aunt's feet." ”

Xia Xiaoqin said, "I'll make lunch." ”

"Then I'll do it." Zhong Xi said.

As soon as Wu Yubing said that she would also help, Shen Cao suddenly said to Wu Yubing: "I called the oranges to boil the pot, and you change the clothes for Maomao." ”

Wu Yubing didn't care about Shen Cao's commanding tone, everyone was used to Shen Cao's unkindness.

"Little melon, come here."

Shen Cao stood at the door of the hall and shouted to a 4-year-old child.

The 4-year-old melon ran very well, he knew that he had to give himself clothes, he was very happy, he was already open-minded, and after grinning, he drooled more.

Then, Shen Cao called 7 children of different ages and asked them to wait for Wu Yubing to send clothes.

Shen Cao didn't distribute clothes with Wu Yubing, and after she called the children, she went out with a hot water bottle.

Shen Cao poured all the hot water in the thermos into the large laundry basin, mixed it with an appropriate amount of cold water, adjusted the temperature to just right, and pressed the towel in, and when the towel was full of water, Shen Cao wrung the towel into a semi-dry shape, and then took the towel to wipe the hands and faces of the children who ate their hands.

Shen Cao did it very carefully, and every time she wiped a child, she would carry the child to the door of the hall and ask Wu Yubing to change his clothes.

"Click."

Qin Yihong took a photo of Shen Cao and the child named Maomao.

Shen Cao heard the sound of taking pictures, and his movements stopped.

But soon he continued to scrub Maomao, until Maomao was wiped white and clean, and sent to the door of the hall, Shen Cao walked up to Qin Yihong, pointed to the camera in his hand and asked, "Why have you been taking pictures?" ”

The camera was not brought by Qin Yihong, but Qin Yihong could understand Li Zhou's thoughts.

Qin Yihong didn't want to explain this, but it wasn't him who took the picture at the beginning, it was Zhong Xi.

Qin Yihong beckoned to Li Zhou: "You can explain." ”

Li Zhou had been waiting for an opportunity to talk to Shen Cao, and when he heard Qin Yihong's call, he immediately walked over.

Qin Yihong was not in the mood to listen to the bitter story, he took the camera to the kitchen and secretly photographed Xia Xiaoqin who was cooking.

……

In the hall, Wu Yubing was handing out clothes to the children.

In the courtyard, Liu Duobao was examining Jiang Xiulan's body.

Li Zhou took Shen Cao outside the courtyard to talk.

"We want to get the orphanage in the news, so we need some photos."

"Why do you want to be in the newspaper?" Shen Caohu asked suspiciously.

"After the newspaper is published, more well-wishers will know about the orphanage and come to help the orphanage. It will also attract the attention of the relevant authorities, and they will come to your aid. ”

"What are you talking about? The village chief said that the orphanage was not legal, and if the people above knew about it, they would only dismiss us. ”

Li Zhou frowned and asked, "Why did the village chief say that?" ”

"Because we both have parents, and they're not dead yet."

Li Zhou was stunned for a moment, and asked, "You can make it clear!" ”

Shen Cao pursed her lips, pointed to the car and asked, "Can you get in the car and say?" ”

Of course, Li Zhou will not refuse.

Li Zhou sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and turned on the air conditioner.

When the air conditioner was first turned on, it was blowing cold wind, which was cold with Shen Cao's tone.

"I was my mother's first child, and that day she went to my father's grave and saw me in the grave.

My mother said that if my cry had been weaker, she would not have been able to find me, because the person who had thrown me away had covered me with weeds, and he had not thought that anyone would find me and pick me up. ”

Li Zhou frowned: "Shen Zhuang's graveyard? ”

"Yes, Shen Zhuang's graveyard." Shen Cao's eyes were full of indifference and said, "They are Shen Zhuang people, I saw them just now at the head of the village." ”

Shen Cao has sound limbs and a normal IQ, just because she has three older sisters, her parents don't want to raise their daughter, so they lost her.

Because they didn't want her to live, Shen Cao's parents directly threw her in the graveyard of Shen Zhuang, covered her with grass, and buried her.

Jiang Xiulan, who went to her husband's grave, found Shen Cao and took Shen Cao, who still had her mother's blood on her body, home.

In the same village, whoever has just given birth to a child will know as soon as you ask.

Jiang Xiulan hugged Shen Cao to find her biological parents and wanted to send the child back, but she was pushed and blasted out by the family.

The original words of that family were: "The debt collector who loses money, whoever raises him is unlucky, and he can die early and be born early." ”

The kind-hearted Jiang Xiulan can't understand why someone can't bear to throw away their own children, and the tiger poison doesn't eat children!

Jiang Xiulan couldn't do anything to throw away the child again, she was alone at that time, and she didn't have a companion by her side, so she raised the child as her own.

Jiang Xiulan is a widow, just two months after her husband died, she picked up a child from the same village to raise, she was still a girl, everyone thought Jiang Xiulan was stupid, even if she raised a child, she should raise a boy.

Jiang Xiulan didn't take these ridicules to heart at all, as long as she was worthy of her conscience.

When Shen Cao was two years old, Jiang Xiulan took Shen Cao to her husband's grave, and heard the child's cry in the cemetery.

Jiang Xiulan and Shen Cao pulled out the little chicks with purple faces from a pit that had not been filled tightly.

When the chick was one year old, he had a fever and had febrile convulsions, and his parents thought that the child was crazy and that the child could not be fed, so they wrapped it in rags and took it to the cemetery and buried it.

Jiang Xiulan rescued the chicks and sent them to the town health center for treatment, and when the chicks were healed, his parents still didn't want the chicks.

They foolishly think that the chicks are crazy and will be a burden in the future.

Jiang Xiulan had no choice but to raise chicks again.

This time there is also a son, and those who laugh at Jiang Xiulan have not decreased, but have more.

Isn't it for nothing to raise children for people in the same village?

When the child grows up, is sensible, and knows who his parents are, he doesn't even need to hit the package, he can go home with a pat on his buttocks.

The people in the village continued to scold Jiang Xiulan for being stupid, but Jiang Xiulan continued to ignore it.

Some people also think that Jiang Xiulan is too kind, so they find the parents of the little chicken cub and Shen Cao, and ask them to take the child home.

The result is obvious, those who can abandon their own children have long since lost their conscience.

Jiang Xiulan's kindness and stupidity became famous in Shenzhuang, and slowly, the people in the nearby villages also knew about it.

As a result, some people began to throw the children they didn't want to raise to the cemetery in Shenzhuang.

Jiang Xiulan picked up one after another, some with open mouths, some with cerebral palsy, and some with incurable sepsis at birth.

If you can raise it, Jiang Xiulan will raise it.

couldn't be saved, so Jiang Xiulan buried the child in front of her husband's grave and became a companion with her husband.

Shen Cao picked his fingers and said, "Mom picked up a total of 24 children, 9 of them died, me, oranges and radishes belong to Shen Zhuang, and the others are from the next village."

Last year, my mother was very sick, she felt that she couldn't live anymore, so she went to the village chief and asked the village chief to find us a place to go.

The village chief went out to inquire and told my mother that our biological parents were still alive and did not meet the standards for assistance, and if she could not afford to support them, she would send us back to our biological parents.

Mom tried, but none of them were sent back.

Mom pushed through again. ”

The car air conditioner began to blow hot air, and the hot wind blew on Shen Cao's face, but it couldn't warm her cold expression.
