Chapter 1809 The Chicks 4 Back to Back
Today is just September 9st

At around 7 o'clock in the morning, the entrance of a school on the middle floor was already crowded with many students. Many of the students looked displeased, carrying big and small bags, and were about to step into the school gate. Except for some young Except for the younger children, the older children come to school by themselves.

"Student, do you want to buy a watch!"

A childish voice rang out among some female students on the side of the school gate. The group of girls looked at this seven or eight-year-old boy, with curly hair and very old clothes, but very clean. The one next to him was carrying a small bag. The younger four or five-year-old girl watched them carefully.

"What styles are there?"

Immediately, the boy raised his arms and rolled up his sleeves. On them were metal watches of different colors, and there were some decorations that looked cute. Among them were watches with the pattern of "Special War Zero", Each piece looks quite delicate.

"How much."

"One piece is 10 yuan."

It's just that many girls are in trouble at this time, because they don't have any cash, the boy immediately took out a light and shadow mobile phone, the female students were a little surprised, and quickly completed the transaction, the female students chose their favorite watches, the boy He turned to other people again, and the little girl behind him followed closely.

"Xima, the harvest should be good today, and you can do whatever you want later."

At this time, in a team of Section 5 on duty in the distance, several members of Section 5 planned to arrest the two children, but the team leader stopped them and shook his head.

"Forget it, these are two children from the local orphanage, let's just pretend we didn't see them."

"If you leave it alone like this, it's still not good, captain."

The captain smiled and shook his head.

"As long as these brats don't cause any trouble, let them go."

This kind of finished watch has become popular in this period of time. Many people in the upper class will wear one, whether it is a watch or a pocket watch. This retro style is spreading in the city, and many people are very fond of it. I like solid wood furniture.

In less than 20 minutes, Owen had already sold more than ten watches, and immediately earned more than 100 yuan. The key point is that those people from the 5th department did not come to take care of them. This kind of watch made of scrap metal and then painted, they They are all processed by themselves. The cost of this kind of watch is more than 2 yuan, and you can make a lot of money by bringing it over.

Owen is sure that school will start today, and he should be able to sell a lot. He and his friend who made watches in the orphanage ordered a lot, and then wholesale them at a low price and sell them on the street.

Originally, the sale of this kind of product required compliance with the regulatory qualifications and taxes, but no one took care of it. Now the orphanage where Owen and Xima lived seemed to have become a small commodity processing factory.

All this is thanks to Peristan and Xingyuan. The two often find some craftsmen who are willing to help to teach the children. Now most of the children can make some gadgets. After they are made, they are sold on the street. , it can be sold easily, the life in the orphanage began to change two years ago, everyone does not need to wait for the relief money, they can still have money in their hands, the children who earn the most can earn two or three dollars a month thousand.

"Come here, kid."

At this time, the team leader of Section 5 shouted, Owen and Shima walked over, and some staff members leaned forward, Shima looked a little scared.

"Ten yuan a piece, my lords."

Several staff members began to choose, and then bought some with Owen, and there were more than a dozen watches left. Owen began to sell on this busy street again, until 8:34, Owen held All the watches were sold out, and Shima looked at Owen happily with a smile.

In just one morning, there were already 500 yuan, and after excluding the cost, I made nearly 400 yuan in one morning.

"Let's go back to have breakfast."

Shima nodded. She doesn't like to talk very much, she only speaks occasionally, but the people she talks to are limited to Owen. Owen led Shima to leave this busy street, but when they passed by a snack shop, both Attracted by the aroma, he couldn't help but look over.

It's just that the two of them didn't go. The cheapest food in the snack shop here costs 1 yuan a piece. They plan to go back to the orphanage and cook some food by themselves.

In today's orphanage, everyone doesn't need to worry about their own lives, they can buy everything they want to eat, and the orphanage is now more like a small trading market, everyone will spontaneously trade, from being After the people get the items in their hands, they pay for them and take them outside to sell them.

Each person only needs to give 10 yuan to the dean every month to support the water and electricity costs. Most of the children transform their rooms into their own factories. Owen and Xima will make some small shiny objects. The sales for a month are not bad, but the price is low. Many things can only be used in some banquet places or store decorations. There is always a demand, but most of them are processed by primitive machines. Production can't keep up.

The two of them can only do more than 20 from morning to night, but they earn a lot of money every month.

The money was managed by Owen, and Xima never complained. The two of them were already hungry. They just ate a little porridge prepared last night when they got up in the morning, and they were already very hungry now.

On an old and deserted street, most of the shops were closed, except for a small supermarket that was still open. After thinking for a while, Owen walked to the supermarket.

"It's rare to make so much money today, let's buy some meat."

Shima hesitated for a while and said.

"J."

After thinking for a while, Owen took Shima and walked up. The two entered the supermarket first. The owner of the supermarket smiled and greeted them immediately after seeing them, and then handed them a bag of things.

There were some fairly fresh vegetables in it, many of which were from yesterday, and the two of them thanked each other happily.

After buying 500 grams of pork, the two turned around and left. 500 grams of pork cost more than 10 yuan, which was a bit reluctant for the two of them. The light and shadow mobile phone cost nearly 2000 yuan. The two also saved money for the convenience of doing business. bought.

I basically don’t make calls on weekdays, and only pay a monthly telephone network service fee of 5 yuan, and I rarely browse the web because the network service fee is not cheap.

After leaving the supermarket, the two walked towards the orphanage, but just when they returned to the entrance of the orphanage, they heard a violent noise, the sound of something breaking, and the sound of glass shattering, and the two ran away quickly. In the past, some children who got up early to sell things on the street also stood at the door, watching, while the headmaster Liu Ting's hysterical roar came from the orphanage.

"Get out, you guys get out of here."

There was a loud bang, and there was another sound of shattering glass.

Owen pulled Xima and ran over, and after asking, he realized that it was someone from the administrative department who came over.

The two took a look and realized that people from Section 1, Section 5, Section 6, Section 7, Section 8, and Section 9 had all come, including members of the district power office.

"Don't get excited about Liu Ting, let's talk about it."

A councilor stood at the door of the dean's room. The dean's room was already in a mess, and the dean Liu Ting was extremely excited at this time.

"You bastards, scum, get out, whatever you want to do, you don't care about the crimes in the society, and now these children are going to die, are you human? It's something that people do Where did the pitiful monthly relief money go in the past few years? You scumbags know it well. What do you want to do now? If you want to, kill these children now, now Pull out the gun immediately and pull the trigger, and save them from being deported one day in the future."

More than 40 people from the administrative department came, all of them just stood silently in the yard, no one spoke, including a few local regional officers, everyone seemed to be waiting for the excited Liu Ting to calm down.

"Liu Ting, we came here today just to find a solution. No one said that these children should die. Please calm down."

At this time, all the children in the orphanage put down their work and just looked at these people angrily. The orphanage is now very large, with nearly 200 people.

Some new wooden houses have even been built in the front and back yards. Nearly 7% of the children are self-reliant, and there are still some younger children who need to be taken care of.

Liu Ting sobbed at this moment.

"How are you going to let these children live? Tell me, which of you can afford it, you? You? Or you?"

Liu Ting pointed at the people in the administrative department, but no one answered. The member of the district power office in front of him and Liu Ting were childhood sweethearts. He came this time to persuade Liu Ting not to continue doing this, because they Their actions have already violated the law. If they are not controlled, they will have a hard time if the people above investigate, but everyone knows the current situation.

This orphanage was gradually improved two years ago. Liu Ting's family was originally a big family in the local area, but after her parents died, Liu Ting started to run the orphanage because she saw those helpless people Children, finally make up your mind to do something for these children.

After the orphanage was established, Liu Ting realized that the funds were not enough, and the children were like monsters who would swallow money. Liu Ting's family was wiped out in a few years. Coupled with various problems in the city, the orphanage has been It's been very difficult ever since.

In the past, we survived the most difficult times with some charitable funds. Later, welfare subsidies appeared, and because of the use of local councilors, including some corrupt members of the administrative department, there were very few orphanages in the end.

Finally, a series of activities initiated by Stan and Xingyuan turned the orphanage into a turning point. They regularly donated to the orphanage every year, but now these people came to say that what Liu Ting did was illegal.

Liu Ting was about to explode, because of what these people said this morning, they hoped that Liu Ting could go through the relevant qualifications and procedures, and no more commercial activities were allowed until these things were completed.

Liu Ting is not a fool. It is impossible to go through these procedures. Many small objects made by these children do not meet the qualifications at all, but they can earn a little money to maintain their lives. What they are doing now is equivalent to Let these children die.

"Okay, everyone, let's go back today, I will have a good talk with Liu Ting."

At this time, the children around looked at the people in the administrative department angrily, and there was a burst of shouting.

"Get out."

For a moment, all the children shouted, no one has ever paid attention to them, and no one has cared about them, but now these people come over and want to take everything from everyone, some young children cried.

A large number of officers left the orphanage, and several officers looked helplessly at what was going on now.

"I can't help it. Someone will bring them some food later. This matter must be resolved. After all, we are also in a difficult situation."

Several officers also discussed that when applying for relevant qualifications, try to send some food and drink over, at least so that these children will not go hungry, and they also feel helpless. After all, people's hearts are long, and most of the officers We all know how this orphanage came through the suffering step by step.

So these children sold small objects, they let the staff under them not to worry about it.

Liu Ting pressed her forehead angrily and was crying. She didn't know what to do. If the children lose their only source of income, what awaits the children is death. The orphanage is finally able to let more children live on.

The children gathered together, hoping to comfort Liu Ting. At this time, there were crying sounds everywhere in the yard, and occasionally ran over with a smile, stood on a table and shouted.

"Since we only need qualifications, we all work together. As long as we work hard, we will definitely pass the qualification review. We don't need to cry at all. We can all choose our own way of life, and this is our way of life."

Owen's words had some effect, but many children were more at a loss and helpless, a child said at this time.

"Dean, please call Mr. Peristan and Mr. Xingyuan and ask them to help us."

Liu Ting stopped crying, the district councilor in front of her handed over a handkerchief, and several children walked over and kicked the district councilor.

"Jin Biao, why don't you speak for us?"

"Yeah yeah."

The children started to make a fuss, and the district councilor named Jin Biao smiled helplessly. He often comes here, and he helped everyone in the orphanage's most difficult time, so many people still have a good impression of him.

"I think what Owen said is right. Everyone, don't give up on yourself. Come on kids, hurry up and eat, and sell more things before the official review begins."

As Jin Biao mentioned, many children are planning to start cooking by themselves. Liu Ting was still crying. Jin Biao dragged her into the principal's room and began to pack up things. Many things belonged to the children. Some of the handicrafts made were semi-finished products. In a rage, Liu Ting threw these things at the people in the administrative department. They didn't do anything, and they basically couldn't say anything.

"What are you making a fuss about? Now it's a legal society, and many things can't be solved by making a fuss like this. Don't cry."

Jin Biao comforted himself. He has liked Liu Ting a lot since a long time ago, but Liu Ting never promised himself anything, but Jin Biao still comes here often, and often uses his power as a member of parliament to organize some charity activities for the orphanage .

"Then what do you say, many of the things made by these children are impossible to pass the review, and many things are even infringed, including technical expenses, which are not affordable for these children, after all. Everyone’s life has improved.”

After Jin Biao picked up the things, he walked up to Liu Ting and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

"I will speak up in the next city meeting, but don't expect anything, because I am a soft-spoken person, and I am just a small councilor without faction."

Liu Ting smiled, pursed her lips and shook her head, and then said thank you.

Looking at the lively children in the yard, Jin Biao sat at the desk, leaned comfortably and said.

"That's good. I'll contact some shops and let these children go to work temporarily, and then don't worry about the food for the time being. I will find a way."

"Your salary is not high, don't take your own salary every time."

As Liu Ting spoke, she turned around and leaned against Jin Biao's side, and Jin Biao laughed.

"It's nothing, just helping you. After all, you have helped me a lot since I was a child. I can become a member of the council because you and the children go around to help me canvass for votes."

Liu Ting lowered her head shyly and hummed. At this time, children's booing sounded outside the window, and Liu Ting left Jin Biao's side in embarrassment.

"Little devils, don't come here to tease adults, your dean and I are just..."

Jin Biao didn't go on, because he didn't know what Liu Ting was thinking, so he didn't say they were friends.

"We grew up together."

Owen and Xima were at the hearth in the backyard. The two of them were planning to make fried meatloaf, and they were already working on it. This stuff has a long shelf life and tastes good. Some children leaned over eagerly.

"Make it smaller, otherwise so many are not enough."

Xima hummed, and the two began to work hard. In the end, 500 grams of meat was made into meatballs mixed with vegetables and a little meat. After a lot of cooking, many children leaned over. In the end, everyone They got a very small one, and Shima and Owen only ate a little bit.

This is why Xima doesn't want to buy meat back, because Owen will generously distribute it to others every time.

"It's the last one, you can eat it."

Owen put the last meatball in Xima's bowl. She hummed and ate the meatball without hesitation. After the two finished eating, they sat by the stove. Owen smiled comfortably and looked at the meatball. Seeing the sky, Shima leaned against him, and the two were almost inseparable since childhood, but Owen also made it clear that the two were not brother and sister, and Shiman's mother was his mother's friend, and he handed Shima over to him after she died. Entrusted to his mother.

Owen only has some memories, but these memories are very strong. In his memory, what Owen is most grateful for is Lao Cheng. If it were not for Lao Cheng, he and Shima might have died on that cold land. Owen often said, Live a good life according to his own wishes, and live happily every day, because Lao Cheng saved his life, so he has to live a good life even more.

No matter how unhappy things are, Owen will smile, because Owen knows that a smile is the most precious thing in that land, because his mother said it.

Gradually, Owen fell asleep, and Shima didn't leave. She didn't really want to sleep, but if she left now, Owen would wake up. Shima looked at the children who were cleaning up all around, and looked back at the principal's office. , the principal and Jin Biao who were happily chatting about something, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.

The dean often said to everyone that no matter where they are in the future, as long as they are back to back, they will be able to live a good life, as long as they have kind thoughts in their hearts.

When Xingyuan often gives lectures to children, he said, don't let the coldness of society swallow up your kindness.

After a while, Liu Ting's mood completely improved, she still called Peristan first, and then called Xing Yuan, Xing Yuan said that she would come right away, while Peristan said she would come later.

"Is Mr. Pristine busy?"

Liu Ting hummed, and now Jin Biao has also thought about it. If this orphanage system is to continue to exist, it is necessary for two people who are famous in Bright City to speak out, and Jin Biao also intends to go to Visiting more famous social figures, only when everyone speaks out collectively, can the orphanage survive in this mode.

Nowadays, in the city, because of the career-teaching campaign initiated by Peristan and Xingyuan, many middle- and lower-class orphanages are barely able to survive.

Jin Biao also knew that the small items sold by the children were far below the market price, which had already hindered the normal market economy to a certain extent, but there was no way for the children to survive.

Even though there are education subsidies and maternity subsidies for children, these subsidies are only limited to families that pay taxes normally, so they have no chance for children. But seeing the orphanage that is finally getting better, Jinbiao must find a way.

"I'm leaving first. You can rest. It's been a long time since you got so angry. It's hurting your body."

Jin Biao said he was going to leave, but at this time Liu Ting stopped him.

"Hey, by the way, did you go on a blind date before?"

Jin Biao smiled awkwardly.

"Just deal with it. After all, if I don't achieve something, I don't plan to get married, of course."

Jin Biao squinted at Liu Ting and said.

"There are exceptions, let's forget about it."

Looking at Jin Biao who left, Liu Ting sighed helplessly. She did have a crush on Jin Biao, but she couldn't take the initiative to speak up, and Jin Biao was a bit stupid.

Some children started to leave the orphanage with their things, and they didn't even tidy up the stove. They planned to obey the gold label and try their best to sell the gadgets they made before the formal review started.

Liu Ting glanced at the two children lying on the edge of the stove, and smiled helplessly. The two children were indeed a little gloomy at the beginning. They had seen this society at an age when they didn't need to see darkness at all. In the darkest part of the movie, Shima is okay, but the child named Owen remembers everything, Liu Ting once asked about those cruel memories, and couldn't help crying every time.

"As long as everyone is back to back, we will surely get through the difficulties!"
