Chapter 081: Preparation
After lunch, Mr. Nan took the initiative to take over the task of washing dishes.
Let Ms. Lu and Nan Xijing go out to buy the necessary stationery for the start of school and some essential reference books for primary school.
In Beijing, two years is not a long time, and it is not a short time.
However, the economy has developed very rapidly, and it has become rich visibly with the naked eye.
Originally, the road surface was paved with date-sized stones or stones, and there were potholes, which often made people wrestle.
And now the road is wide and flat. It's either a bluestone road or an asphalt road.
Very clean on the pavement. Not a single scrap of paper was visible on the ground, and a garbage bin stood on the side of the road every once in a short distance.
The shops on both sides of the street are as if they have been carefully arranged.
The mother and daughter walked to the commercial street not far in front, listening from a distance, it was so lively.
As far as the eye can see, there are colorful clothing stalls, various traditional food stalls, as well as fashion stores, leather goods stores, toy stores, shoe stores and stationery stores.
It's so varied, it's everything.
Since it was shopping after dinner, Nanxijing, who had always been greedy, did not have a great desire to see those delicious snacks.
She and Ms. Lu bypassed the wide variety of vendors and went straight to the nearest stationery store to pick up stationery.
Entering the stationery store, Nan Xijing looked at the layers of exquisite notebooks and pencils and erasers of different shapes on the shelves.
I was deeply caught up in the difficulty of choosing.
After a long struggle and struggle, and her own shopping budget.
didn't reluctantly cut his love, but bought everything he liked.
After paying, the mother and daughter walked out of the stationery store.
Nan Xijing carried a small bag of stationery and notebooks, turned her head to look at Ms. Lu with some weakness, and spoke cautiously.
"Mom, I bought so many notebooks, pencils, and erasers, you don't think I'm a loser, do you?"
Ms. Lu couldn't help laughing when she saw her shrinking her neck like a turtle and asking cautiously.
"Hahahaha! Dango! Where are you going to buy this stationery? It's only a dozen dollars. ”
"Besides! You buy these notebooks, erasers and pencils. You can't waste it yourself, and you're sure to use it up. Where will Mom say that you are a loser? It's too late to praise you for being studious~"
Nan Xijing heard that Ms. Lu didn't blame her, and her eyes returned to their usual playfulness.
"Hey, hey, hey~ Since my mother doesn't think I'm a loser, let's go to the bookstore next stop!"
After speaking, she took the lead and walked briskly towards the bookstore not far in front.
This time when she entered the bookstore, Nan Xijing consciously chose most of the reference books.
For example: Xinhua Dictionary, Xinhua Dictionary. There are also comprehensive knowledge books for elementary school students about synonyms and antonym types.
The weight of the book is still relatively heavy compared to those insignificant stationery.
So Ms. Lu directly helped Nanxi share the weight of the books.
After shopping, the two did not stay long and quickly turned back home.
When he entered the house, Mr. Nan happened to be watching a news program in Beijing.
"Next, I will broadcast an important news for you."
"Due to the sharp increase in the number of children in the city's Xinxin Welfare Institute, there is a serious phenomenon of making ends meet. There is an urgent need for the general public to show their love. ”
"Donate clothes, shoes or books to Xinxin Welfare Home. In this way, the temporary financial shortage within the welfare home will be alleviated. ”
"Daddy! What is the reason for the sharp increase in the number of children in Xinxin Welfare Home? ”
Nan Xijing, who had just entered the house, heard the report.
Somewhat confused, he put down the bag containing stationery in his hand and turned his head to ask Mr. Nan a question.
"Alas...... Recently, I've heard some of my colleagues talk about this phenomenon. ”
"The point is that in the past six months, there have been more newborns with recessive diseases or congenital refractory diseases."
"These children will be cruelly abandoned by their biological parents and thrown at the door of the welfare home."
"So, for almost half a year. The director of Xinxin Welfare Home not only has to take care of the food and clothing of the children in the welfare home, but also dedicates part of the funds to treat these sick children. Of course, there will be a shortage of funds. ”
Mr. Nan sighed and slowly recounted the gossip he knew.
"In that case! Mom and Dad. The clothes and shoes I wore when I was born, and the clothes and shoes I wore in kindergarten, and my toys. ”
"I can donate to the children of Xinxin Welfare Home to help them through this difficult time."
Mr. Nan and Ms. Lu heard that Nan Xijing had such a high level of consciousness, and they looked at each other in great surprise.
"Dango, don't you love all the toys you loved to play with before. Why did you suddenly remember to donate to the children in the orphanage? Are you willing? ”
Ms. Lu spoke softly.
"Hmm~mm~ Mom. Isn't it going to start elementary school tomorrow? I think. I should focus on studying. ”
"If you play with too many toys, it will easily cause the plaything to lose its mind."
"If I want to play with toys in the future, I can buy new ones."
"By the way, it doesn't matter what the toys are, I think it's more important to wear clothes and shoes."
Nanxi held her cheeks and spoke a little cutely.
"Okay, dango. Now that it's decided. At that moment, you and your mom and dad sorted out the toys you didn't want along with your childhood clothes and shoes. ”
"Then tomorrow, Dad will take the time to send the packages we packed to the Xinxin Welfare Institute."
The three of them had reached an agreement and began to act.
As quickly as possible, pack up and pack Nan Xijing's small clothes and shoes, including those small toys that she likes very much.
Pack up and send things to the welfare home.
Nan Xijing and Ms. Lu began to pack up the documents and necessary stationery for tomorrow's report.
When Nanxi Jing slept, the street lights outside the window were already on.
She looked up at the sky, and in the inky blue sky, a small crescent moon as thin as a scale hook hung slowly in the clouds.
Occasionally, a few rays of silver light would be cast through the gaps in the clouds, and from the window it looked as if a thin silver veil was shrouded in it.
Nanxi Jing was not nostalgic for this beautiful moonlight, and she slowly closed the curtains.
Then lay down on her little bed and soon fell asleep.
In the dream, she dreamed again about what she would look like in her previous life when she grew up.
This time, though, she was calm.
She was not jealous and hateful because of what happened to her in her previous life.
Nanxi Jing seemed to be watching a movie, and accepted everything she had experienced in her previous life very plainly.
It may be because of the happy life of these two years that she has let go of her previous things and wants to cherish what she is looking for.
