"Xiaoshan, Xiaocui, aunt asks you, are you willing to stay here and live with grandma?"
When asked this question, Mrs. Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little nervous, fearing that the two children would not want to stay.
Xiaocui looked at the empty bowl, then at Su Chen who had a loving smile on her face, and asked carefully, "Can we still have enough to eat after we stay here?"
"Yes, yes, yes, grandma loves you as much as her own grandchildren."
Xiaoshan's expression was unclear because he was young. He pointed to the house in the courtyard and said, "I can sleep..."
Now that Su Chen has become a baby language translator, she immediately understood what Xiaoshan meant, "You can sleep, just sleep in this big house."
There was a broken cry in Xiao Cui's voice, remembering the past, and asked Ling Yun seriously, "I won't sell Xiao Shan and separate our sister and brother. Xiao Cui can work and support his brother to serve his grandma and aunt."
Mrs. Su Chen's heart almost broke when she heard this. She held the two little ones in her arms with one hand and comforted her softly, saying, "No, no, I won't sell it to anyone. You will grow up together in the future, grandma promises." .”
Huzi, a young man, had his eyes reddened by the scene in front of him, "Don't worry, your aunt can make money, and she doesn't care about the little money she sells you. This grandma is also a good person and will treat you well. Besides, my brother's family is If you live next door, you can go to me if you need anything."
The two children finally nodded with difficulty, decided to stay, and decided to believe again that there are still good people in the world.
The good food they had eaten today and the warm embrace were so attractive that they couldn't let go.
Su Youting drove the bullock cart over, where Ling Yun was getting water to clean the two children, while three teenagers were in charge of Xiaoshan. The mother-in-law cleaned up Xiaocui, but unfortunately there were no clothes at home that the children could wear.
In addition to applying for traditional ID cards for the two children, Lu Yin, even the adopted little beggar still had to go to the Yamen to register his household registration.
The couple took their children, who were still wearing old clothes, and three teenagers on a bullock cart together. One went to the city to do business, and the other wanted to buy some things that the children needed daily.
After getting on the carriage, in order to prevent the children and Ling Yun from being in danger, several people deliberately placed Ling Yun in the innermost position.
Ling Yun was the unlucky guy today. When he first sat down, the old cow raised his tail and farted.
The taste was so sour that it almost made Ling Yun fall down on his back and die for a while...
She was directly laughed at by a whole car of people, and she understood that this was all caused by fate, the original owner's unlucky fate.
But that's not all. Cows have a habit of waving their tails back and forth to drive away approaching mosquitoes. This time, an unintentional twitch hit Ling Yun's exposed neck, leaving a trail. Red mark.
This is the result of having the life-saving Su Youting by his side, otherwise I don't know how he would be more unlucky.
When Su Youting noticed this, he was unable to rescue him. In the end, he could only change Ling Yun's position to the side, avoiding the cow's buttocks, thinking that he could reach Anyuan City safely.
A small pothole caused a bump in the road, and Ling Yun fell directly on his side. He was almost run over by the bullock cart. The people on the car were so frightened that they did not dare to let go of Ling Yun even on the smallest hill. Sleeves, after she sat back in the car, she stretched out her dry little hand and pulled Ling Yun's sleeve.
Su Youting was driving the car with one hand and protecting Ling Yun's other side with the other hand to prevent her from getting into trouble again. He also asked in a low voice, "Is this all the influence of the debt you mentioned?"
Ling Yun hummed, just looking forward to arriving in the city as soon as possible and finishing the things he had to do quickly, hoping to get some relief.
At the crossroads in the city, Su Youting took his two children to the county government office to register for adoption and obtain identity documents.
There were acquaintances in the yamen who were easy to handle, and by the way I asked them if there were any procedures required to take in the children who were begging. It was surprisingly simple. As long as it was voluntary and the people being taken in did not cause trouble or steal or commit crimes, there would be no problem. trouble.
Ling Yun had already greeted Hu Zi and the others, and brought money to buy a big pot and some bedding. Unfortunately, he didn't think of this at the time. It would be fine if the things inside were not moved. He also bought some grain and put it in the house for future use. daily expenses.
The world is too small. Maybe Anyuan City is really not that big. This time, by chance, I ran into Mr. Shen. We exchanged a few words. I heard that Ling Yun and the others were going to take in the orphans who had been affected by the disaster. The big house serves as the venue.
He immediately expressed that he would do his part in doing good deeds. Knowing that Linglong was planning to give out porridge at the door of the old house later, he directly asked his servants to go to his food shop and bring a lot of rice and noodles.
I also went to the grocery store and delivered a lot of things that may be used in daily life, including a lot of miscellaneous items.
Mr. Shen is still the most influential person. With his deliberate publicity, many wealthy households in the city have joined in this charity. Some donated money, some donated things, and many came to help.
When Su Youting came back, the porridge shed had been set up at the door, the big pot and stove had been set up, and piles of grain and firewood were piled aside.
When the porridge actually started, Ling Yun himself was a little shocked by the battle in front of him. Some people were lighting the fire and adding firewood, some were washing rice and cooking it, and some were arranging the beggars who had come after hearing the news in an orderly manner. .
There are also people who are steaming steamed buns in Hemian and have no conditions to cook other vegetables, but pickles are still very convenient. According to Ling Yun, someone is already changing the knife to clean the pickles from excessive salt, adding chopped green onion and sesame oil, and stirring.
On this first day of serving porridge, Mr. Shen actually brought the old lady over to join in the fun. It turned out that the old lady usually eats fast and prays to Buddha at home. When she heard about this, she insisted on coming to help. Mr. Shen couldn't resist, so he brought the person here. .
The old lady is indeed kind-hearted. As soon as she arrived, she and her mother-in-law boiled a lot of hot water alone. If any little beggars came over, the old lady would be gentle and help them clean their faces and hands without being disgusted. , and then asked them to get steamed buns to eat.
He also carefully prepared candies for the children. If anyone was timid and afraid and refused to come close, he would give a candy.
All those who give out porridge will say something like, "A charity hall has been opened here. If you want, you can come and live here and treat this as your home."
The main targets are young children and elderly people. Younger people will also be taken in, but they still have their own responsibilities. If they stay here, they must shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the elderly and the weak.
Everyone has their own ambitions, even beggars have their own ideas. Some are happy and excited and keep asking if it is true. Some just take the food and turn around and leave, for fear of being left behind.
Ling Yun and the others did not force anything, and accepted those who were willing to stay and receive help.
Porridge will be given here for three days. The size of the house is limited and it is only available on a first-come, first-served basis. During this period, anyone who wants to come can come, and there is nothing that can be done about those who come late and cannot move in.
This is also what is meant by the so-called "managerial affairs" and "obedience to destiny". Their abilities are only so great and they cannot take care of all the poor people in the world. They can only help as much as they can.
