The car drove for more than half an hour on the outskirts of the city, and a small white three-story building could be seen in the distance, but the last distance was no longer open to traffic. Cui Shishen walked the dirt path for nearly twenty minutes with one foot at a shallow foot, and finally saw the plaque of "Hongyi Children's Village", hanging on the left side of the main entrance, the bronze sign was gray, and it should have been some years.

Hey?

Has Warden Wu been here?

Cui Shi stopped at the door for a moment, and first saw a small poem, which turned out to be the warden of Jingzhou City Prison, Wu Liguo.

Regardless of the glitz and hustle and bustle, look at the Great Love Children's Village. The first trip to Xiaolou is compassionate, and then the soul is shaken by the details. The society has become a place here, and children have no attachment for the New Year. Today, Hongyi grinds his mind, and the garden is full of fragrance in the future.

Haha, I can't see that Warden Wu is still a poet!

Cui Shi smiled, and heard someone inside ask, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Greeted by a girl in her twenties, plainly dressed and plain-looking, did not seem surprised by Choi Seok's unexpected visit.

"Don't look for anyone, I'm a prison guard at Jingzhou City Prison. Today, when I heard people talk about this place, I admired Li Hongyi's career very much, so I came to take a look. ”

If you visit, please enter. ”

The girl let Cui Shi in and said a little apologetically: "But Brother Li has something to do today, you may not be able to see him." ”

"It's okay, I didn't make an appointment with Brother Li, just to look at these children. ”

"Then come with me. ”

The girl introduced as she walked: "My name is Liu Jia, and I am a volunteer at Hongyi Children's Village. There are now 17 children in the village, the youngest being 3 years old and the oldest being 15 years old. When they reach the appropriate age, they will be sent to nearby elementary and secondary schools. Most of the kids haven't come back from school yet, just a few small ones that you can see later. ”

Cui Shi heard her say that she was quite organized, and couldn't help asking, "There are a lot of visitors like me?"

"Too many!"

Liu Jia said with a smile: "I come almost every three or five times, but basically there are more groups, especially some clubs like prisons and universities, which often appear." ”

Accompanied by Liu Jia, Cui Shi quickly walked around the three-story building and saw the children's bedrooms, activity rooms, libraries, etc., it should be said that although the place is not large, the functionality is still relatively comprehensive. It's just that it should be limited to financial conditions, many of the facilities are old, and the books in the library are obviously fund-raising from different groups in society, and some books are not aimed at children at all, and they are also placed there indiscriminately.

It's already good!

Cui Shi heard from Dean Sun that this is a world supported by Li Hongyi, a retired prison guard, who specializes in sheltering the children of prisoners who have lost their source of livelihood. It should be said that the absence of this function of the government is made up by individuals, which is already quite a remarkable feat. The slight shortcomings in the details are also flawed.

In addition to Liu Jia, there are three volunteers here, who basically perform their own duties, responsible for food, education, cultural and sports activities and other aspects of the children's village. Volunteers come from different corners of the city. For example, Liu Jia is a kindergarten teacher who comes here one day a week. Others are college students, retired aunts, and a shift taxi driver — where he's in charge of security.

Looking at it, it makes people's hearts warm.

As Wu Liguo wrote in that poem, the society has feelings here.

"Uncle, are you here to take me home?"

A little boy who was only four and a half years old walked to Cui Shi's feet very expectantly, raised his little face and asked seriously.

Alas!

This sentence hit Cui Shi's heart almost instantly, and even made him tremble all over.

"Uncle, are you here to take me home?"

This sentence, he also said a few years ago, the object is Wang Jianfeng who came to the orphanage.

Because of this sentence, he walked out of the Sunshine School founded by Dean Sun, and since then he has become a child with a father, which is a lucky person compared to those friends.

Pity...... To this day, I still can't do anything about my father's condition.

It's easy to meet a Taishang Laojun, but he still refuses to help!

Cui Shi looked down at the little boy, just for the question that was not bad at all, he immediately turned his face sideways and asked Liu Jiadao:

"Can the children here be adopted?"

If it were possible, just for this sentence, he would definitely take this child away. Because only after experiencing the same situation as him back then, do you know what kind of deep expectation you have in your heart after saying this.

No matter how good the orphanage is, after all, it can't replace the warmth of the family.

The most coveted destination for all orphans is to be adopted by well-wishers and start a new life, more like the life of a normal child.

"No, it won't. ”

Liu Jia shook her head with a smile and said: "This is different from the orphanage, most of the children's parents are still alive, which does not meet the national regulations on adoption." ”

Cui Shi nodded, slightly regretful, feeling that he could not satisfy the child's longing heart.

"Teacher Jiajia!"

The boy seemed to be in a hurry, and his logic was unexpectedly strong, and he retorted: "Tangtang and Guoguo have been taken away!"

"Alright, Aang. ”

Liu Jia smiled softly, handed over the little boy to an aunt in her fifties, and took him away with a hug, and then explained to Cui Shi:

"The sugar candy and fruit he said were originally our children here, twins, who are both nine years old this year. Two people came this morning, saying that they were relatives of the child and wanted to take the child home to take it well, and Brother Li Hongyi went to implement this matter with them. Just now called, they went to the Jingzhou City Prison to meet the child's father and confirm the identity of this relative, so the child should not come back. ”

"Where's the child's mother?"

Cui Shi asked casually.

"In the Women's Prison......"

Liu Jia smiled bitterly: "These two are both drug trafficking crimes, one was sentenced to life, and the other was sentenced to fifteen years. Although the child is born, it seems that he has never been indifferent. Fortunately, this time there are two relatives who seem to be quite reliable in my hometown, and I hope the child will be fine in the future. ”

Liu Jia said to Cui Shi as he walked, and when he passed by a room, Liu Jia introduced: "This is the room of Tangtang and Guoguo, it seems that it needs to be cleaned up again." ”

"Can I go in and have a look?"

Cui Shi heard that he was an inmate of Jingzhou City Prison, although he didn't know which prison district it was, but he was a little more interested, and after getting Liu Jia's permission, he stepped into this small children's room.

With a desk, bunk beds, and neatly folded bedding, it can be seen that the two children have strong self-care skills, perhaps because of family changes. You must know that many families spoil their children, how can they fold the quilt so neatly when they are nine years old.

PS: I didn't expect that the poems I wrote after visiting the children's village could still be used, and I also gave myself the name of the prison warden, hahaha, it's interesting.
