Chapter 117: As long as your heart is not broken, you are your own hero
Tang Xiaoxiao followed Aunt Xie to her house, and a teenage child was sweeping the floor in the yard, but she obviously felt that the child's abnormality was cerebral palsy.
She swept the floor with a broom, and it took a long time to sweep a piece of land, but she didn't give up.
"This is the first child I have adopted, Xiaohua." Aunt Xie and Tang Xiaoxiao introduced.
"Little Flower." Aunt Xie shouted, and Xiaohua turned her head to look at Aunt Xie, smiled at her, and looked at Tang Xiaoxiao behind her curiously.
"This is the sister who brought us meat and candy yesterday." Aunt Xie said to Xiaohua with a smile.
"Thank you~Thank you." Xiaohua thanked Tang Xiaoxiao and looked at her with the broom in her hand.
"You're welcome." She didn't look at the child too much, nodded at her, and followed Aunt Xie into the hall.
Three teenage children sat on chairs in the hall, one of whom was tied with a rope.
"This child is more serious, I am afraid that he will hurt himself when he is emotional, and if I am not at home, I will tie him up first." Aunt Xie explained.
When he looked at the other two children, Tang Xiaoxiao noticed that their legs were not proportional to their age, and they looked like the legs of a four- or five-year-old child, but they grew on the body of a teenager.
This is also a kind of Tang Shi'er, and in addition to the physical defects of the three of them, they also have cerebral palsy, which is more serious than Xiaohua, they can't speak, they can only express their emotions with babbling and yelling.
There were two little boys next to them taking care of them, and if you looked closely, the left sleeve of both children was empty.
Although I had seen this situation many times in the welfare home in my previous life, I still couldn't calm down when I saw Tang Xiaoxiao again.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held back because she knew that children didn't like to see them.
From the yard to the hall, it was clean, and although the children were dressed in washed white clothes, they were very tidy.
"Aunt Xie, you are a kind-hearted person." Tang Xiaoxiao looked at Aunt Xie.
If it weren't for these children, Aunt Xie would have a better life.
Aunt Xie smiled and shook her head.
"At first, I just wanted to say that raising a child has a companion, and then I raised more and more. Now, I just hope that I can live a few more years and get better, otherwise they will have to go to the welfare home. ”
The environment of the current welfare home is not as good as that of later generations, and there are more than a dozen children sleeping on a Chase bunk, and some children who have no ability to take care of themselves can only lie on the Chase bunk every day.
A caregiver often has to take care of more than a dozen children, all of whom need to be fed, and situations such as personal hygiene are not dealt with in a timely manner.
After going back, Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't sit still, and his mind was full of the children of Aunt Xie's family, who were absent-minded about everything.
In the afternoon, the family sat in the hall and chatted, Song Jingzhi looked at the little daughter-in-law holding a handful of melon seeds in a daze, and couldn't help but speak.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't eat much for lunch. ”
"You said that I gave Aunt Xie the 800 yuan that the Liu family paid before, will she ask for it?" She had decided that the 800 yuan was going to be donated, and she felt that it was the best to give it to Aunt Xie.
"I don't think she'll want it." Mother Song said.
If Aunt Xie was willing to accept relief, she would have gone to the government to apply for a subsidy.
"I think we can exchange the 800 yuan for items, and we don't have to take it all at once, and send some food every month, so that Aunt Xie can accept it more easily." Song Jingzhi thought for a moment and said.
"Well, Jingzhi's method is good." Father Song nodded in agreement.
Tang Xiaoxiao weighed it and felt that Song Jingzhi's way was really good.
That night, she took six sets of cotton clothes suitable for the children in the space and decided to send them over early tomorrow morning so that the children would have new clothes to wear for the New Year.
As a result, it snowed heavily outside the next morning, and Song Jingzhi didn't let her go out, he pushed his bicycle and sent the clothes over.
When Aunt Xie opened the door, she saw Song Jingzhi wearing a military uniform, and immediately guessed his identity.
"Are you Don Jr.'s lover?"
"Yes, Aunt Xie, this is the clothes we gave to the children." Song Jingzhi explained the intention.
At first, Aunt Xie refused to ask for anything, until Song Jingzhi said.
"Auntie, we just want to make the children happy and happy, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve."
Hearing this, Aunt Xie looked back at the children in the room and nodded with red eyes.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Song Jingzhi took off his clothes from the bicycle at this time, because it was snowing outside, Tang Xiaoxiao wrapped a thick layer to prevent his clothes from being soaked by the snow.
Song Jingzhi didn't leave immediately, he went in to look at the children and gave each of them a red paper bag.
"Eh, what are you doing here? Can't ask for it. Aunt Xie hurriedly refused.
"Aunt Xie, it's just a meaning, a meaning." He hurriedly explained.
Indeed, only one dollar was put in each red paper bag, and he knew in his heart that Aunt Xie would definitely return it if he put too much.
"Brother, are you a soldier?" A little boy with a broken left arm held a red paper bag in his hand and looked at Song Jingzhi with admiration.
"Yes, my brother is a firefighter." He smiled and stroked the little boy's hair.
"I know that firefighters are firefighters and disaster relief, and my brother is a hero." He looked at his arm, loss in his eyes.
"Don't be depressed, even if your body is crippled, as long as your heart is not crippled, you are your own hero." He said firmly to the boy.
The boy looked at his determined eyes, then looked at Aunt Xie and nodded.
He wants to be his own hero, to be Aunt Xie's hero, and to be the hero of his younger brothers and sisters.
In the afternoon of this day, Aunt Xie took the children to wrap dumplings with white noodles and meat sent by Tang Xiaoxiao, and the children also changed into new clothes sent by Song Jingzhi, and the New Year was lively.
At Tang Xiaoxiao's house, the old couple of the Tang family and the Tang Mu family came to the courtyard, and the two families had a reunion dinner together.
Tang Mu's house in the military district has been packed, and he has been living in his parents' house for the past few days, and he is ready to move in after the New Year.
The elders prepared red paper bags for the children, and Ping Ping handed the red paper bags to his mother as soon as possible, but An An struggled for a long time.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't ask her for it, she played with it for a while, and felt bored, so she handed it over to her mother.
The neighborhood of the courtyard is very lively, the children of each family played with firecrackers, and Pingping and An An quarreled to play.
Song Jingzhi took them to play in the yard, which made the two little guys of the Tang Mu family scream happily.
"You bought another yard?" Tang's mother asked her daughter at this time.
"Well, your daughter is going to be a charter wife, Mom, if you know where to sell a suitable house, remember to tell me."
Tang's mother is the director of the street office, so she is naturally well-informed about these news.
"Okay." Tang Mu smiled and nodded.
