Chapter 273: The Choice of Life and Death
In Anshi, Star Orphanage, Lu Xuehui, a 28-year-old young female dean who had just taken office not long ago, looked at the news pushed on the computer and fell into deep thought.
Lu Xuehui was abandoned in the Star Orphanage in Anshi when she was a child, and she grew up here from 0 to 8 years old.
Later, she was adopted by her parents and followed her parents to Haishi.
Although her adoptive parents had an average family background, they loved her very much, and they tried their best to provide her with the best life at that stage within their ability, and also provided her with graduate school.
After graduating from graduate school, she could find a good high-paying job, but after seeing that the Star Orphanage in Anshi was recruiting a director, she still chose to come here to be the director.
The former director of the Star Orphanage, Lu Xuehui didn't know him, but it didn't prevent this person from being exposed to his bad temperament, abusing children, buying and selling items donated by others in the orphanage, and finally he was also expelled, so he had the recruitment a while ago.
Lu Xuehui is grateful for the Star Orphanage that raised her until she was 8 years old, the original dean's grandmother was very gentle and lovingly cared for the growth of their children, and also helped them find a suitable adoptive family.
It's a pity that when she was 10 years old, the dean's grandmother passed away, and over the years, the Star Orphanage has changed several directors, but they are not very good, and they are not very good to the children in the hospital.
Coming here to be the dean, Lu Xuehui's adoptive parents are supportive, and she still remembers the gentleness and care of the dean's grandmother, she said: The children in the orphanage are also children, and they are also little angels who came to the world, and they should also strive to live the life that ordinary children should live.
Lu Xuehui came to inherit the will of the dean's grandmother.
Although Lu Xuehui has no plans to get married and have children for the time being, she loves children.
It's just that when I came to the Star Orphanage, I saw that it was full of devastation.
The things donated by well-wishers were sold, the children were not well fed and clothed, their education could not keep up, the place where they lived was very old, and they had not been renovated.
And the most serious of them are the sick children.
In particular, there are eight children who have been abandoned here because they have congenital heart disease, the youngest is only a few months old, the oldest is 11 years old, and there is no money to treat them, and even the cheapest medicine is sometimes available, sometimes not.
has survived until now, all by their luck and fate.
Lu Xuehui found out that over the years, there have been far more than 8 children with congenital heart disease, and those who can't survive and have a bad life are gone.
It was buried on the back hill behind the orphanage, and it became a small hill.
No one knows what kind of mood Lu Xuehui felt when she stood in the back mountain, looking at the simple mountain bags that didn't even have a name.
8 children with heart disease that had to be treated.
But the current problem is that there is no money in the hospital, let alone paying for the treatment of 8 children at the same time, even 1 child cannot afford to be treated.
In the past two months, Lu Xuehui has been using various methods to call on well-wishers to donate, but in the end it is still a drop in the bucket, and the current expenses raised are only enough for one or two children to be treated in the early stage, and it may not be able to be continued in the later stage.
But if you can only save one or two children, do you have to give up another 6 or 7 children? 7 children, that, 6, 7 fresh lives.
Lu Xuehui, who was already at a loss, saw a 4-year-old child having a heart attack in the middle of the night last night, and was finally determined that it might be gone if it was not treated well, Lu Xuehui became even more anxious and didn't fall asleep all night.
She was trying to figure out a way, her eyes were red, and her phone was bursting, but she didn't gain much.
Until now, she had just gone to wash her face and came back to sit in front of the computer again, when she suddenly saw a push message popping up.
"Official medicine, volunteer calling, new medicine, any cardiac disease, free ......," Lu Xuehui muttered.
Lu Xuehui was hesitant to sign up her eight children as volunteers.
This is the only chance, but the risk is also great, in case there is an accident, then ......
Just when Lu Xuehui was hesitating and tangled, she suddenly heard movement at the door.
I saw a few children poking their brains and looking in cautiously, and only after realizing that Lu Xuehui had seen them did they walk in slowly.
The 7 children are all children with heart disease in the hospital, and the youngest one is only a few months old and is held in the arms of the eldest, 11-year-old Nan Nan.
"Is there something you're doing here?" Lu Xuehui asked, reaching out to take the month-old baby in Nan Nan's arms.
The little baby is very well-behaved, anyone can hold it, and after Lu Xuehui hugged her, she spit bubbles at her and grinned.
Several children looked at each other and looked at each other several times, and finally under Lu Xuehui's curiosity, Nan Nan stepped forward and spoke.
"Sister Dean, we've all heard that there isn't much money left in the hospital, so there's no way to treat all of us at the same time," Nan Nan continued, and the hands of several children were clasped together.
"Sister Dean, then treat Xiao Budian and Niuniu, we can not take medicine and not treat the disease."
"Yes, give Xiao Bu and Niu Niu."
"Niuniu is in pain, she is very afraid of pain, treat Niuniu."
"I'm not afraid of pain, I can bear it, it hurts, I can endure it."
“……”
A few children babbled about the reasons why they could be cured.
Xiao Bu Dian, it was Lu Xuehui holding a little baby in her arms at this time, and she had just been abandoned at the door of the orphanage a while ago.
And Niuniu is the little girl who had a heart attack last night.
Lu Xuehui didn't know where these children heard this, and after some discussion, they made up their minds and ran to her to say this, but when they heard these words, Lu Xuehui's heart ached.
Lu Xuehui looked at this immature little face and couldn't help asking, "Then do you know what will happen if you don't treat the disease?" ”
There was silence in the office for a moment, 6-year-old Niu Niu looked up at her, her voice was immature, and she said slowly: "I know, I heard that I will die, I will never be able to open my eyes again, I can no longer eat, I can't wake up, I will be buried in the back mountain, become a small dirt bag, I know, I know." ”
"It's okay, even if it becomes a small dirt bag, it doesn't matter, I heard that it won't hurt that way."
"That's it, Sister Dean, can you bury me next to Lingling, I want to be with Lingling, so that we can play together forever." Lingling is a good friend of Niu Niu, who also died of a heart attack half a year ago.
"I want to be buried next to Lulu, Lulu is the least daring, and it is dark at night in the back mountain, I want to protect her." 8-year-old Feifei clenched his small fists slightly.
"Sister Dean, can I bury myself with Fei Fei?" 9-year-old Xiao Yun led 6-year-old Feifei beside her.
But Lu Xuehui's tears could no longer hold back.
You know what you're talking about, stupid kids.
They are giving up their lives themselves, how old are you, how can you say that you can give up your life so easily.
They are obviously all children, and the eldest Nan Nan is only 11 years old, why does God let them bear this.
In this way, they gave the hope of life to other children who needed it more, left the possibility of death to themselves, and arranged a burial place for themselves.
Looking at their immature little faces, pure and clean eyes, and that sentence, how could Lu Xuehui's heart not be touched.
It was also at this time that Lu Xuehui, who was originally hesitant, finally made up her mind.
She wiped away her tears, faced a few children, and said firmly: "You won't die, you won't die, Sister Dean has already thought of a way, surely, I will definitely do my best to save you and save everyone." ”
"So, don't give up! Don't give up easily! ”
I'm about to write myself to tears......
