C City Orphanage

"Xiaoyue, look, you are coming soon. The meaning of the courtyard is that you can no longer go to school. Move out after your birthday." The old director's old voice came from the old office door of the orphanage. , "Actually, you don't have to worry about moving out. The courtyard says they can let you live until you find a house, but you have to pay some rent."

Xu Shi himself also felt that it was too cruel to say such words to such a well-behaved boy, but there was no other way.In the past few years, more and more orphans have been adopted in the orphanage. It was originally an orphanage in the suburbs, and not many rich and powerful people are willing to invest money in charity here.

Most of the rich people do charity to gain a good reputation as a philanthropist, or to use it to bring convenience to themselves in the market, or to cover up their inner ugliness.But everyone is obviously willing to donate to a larger orphanage, so that it will be easier to improve their social prestige.

However, in the past few years, the orphanage has obviously been struggling to make ends meet. In the past, the dean and the director still had money to make, but now they are even afraid of running a problem.The dean also said to himself several times on the sidelines that he is now the oldest child in the orphanage.Orphanages have regulations that children who become adults will no longer be sponsored, nor will they be sponsored for their studies.

The dean only thought that he would save some expenses by leaving, even though he had just received a letter from a University of Finance and Economics in S City.

Standing there quietly with his head lowered, he pursed his thin, light-colored lips.

After a long time, he raised his head, "I see." He turned and opened the door and walked out.

The sun outside was dazzling, and even after the heavy rain, the weather was still very hot.However, at this moment, Xu Yueming's heart could not feel the slightest warmth.

Sitting blankly on the bench in the courtyard, Xu Yueming closed his eyes and raised his head, wanting to feel the warmth from the sun.

Suddenly, I felt a shadow cast down from the top of my head, opened my eyes, and met Zhou Ning's sly smile like a kitten.He raised his hand reflexively and touched the top of his head, and sure enough...

Xu Yueming smiled helplessly, and rubbed Zhou Ning's head: "Ning Ning, does brother look good wearing this wreath?"

Zhou Ning, who is 15 years old this year, is more than three years younger than Xu Yueming. His relatives died in a serious traffic accident, and he was sent to the orphanage because he had no relatives to support him.Zhou Ning was just eight years old when he was sent here. Due to the sudden death of his parents, the blow was too great and he had problems with his IQ.It seems that his IQ has been at the age of eight, and his behavior is a bit naive.The hospital took him to see a psychiatrist at the time, and the doctor said that the sudden shock made him close his heart, and the IQ problem may be related to his inner resistance to growth.

The first time Xu Yueming met Zhou Ning was the day he was taken to the orphanage.Standing outside the window and watching secretly, the little one huddled up in the corner of the dean's office, like a discarded kitten, with a dirty face from crying.

When the dean sent the adults who sent him out, Xu Yueming walked in, knelt down in front of the kitten, and rubbed his head, "Don't cry, if you cry any more, your eyes will break. .”

Hearing someone talking to him, Zhou Ning raised his head in a daze, and saw a very beautiful person squatting in front of him talking to him.As if seeing such a beautiful person for the first time, Zhou Ning subconsciously blurted out: "Sister, you are so beautiful."

Xu Yueming was taken aback, then smiled and said, "I'm brother, you made a mistake."

Zhou Ning stared blankly at Xu Yueming's face, wanting to verify the truth of what he just said, and suddenly burst into tears as if remembering something.

"Wuuu, brother, I... my parents are gone, they said... my parents have gone far away and won't come back, and won't want me anymore." Zhou Ning was sobbing and wiping away tears , I'm about to cry into tears.

Seeing Zhou Ning crying so pitifully, Xu Yueming thought of himself back then, and someone told him so back then, so he left him in the orphanage and left.He cried and begged, and held the man's hand, but in return he received a cold slap.

Because I can remember, I missed the best adoption age, and I have been living in the orphanage until now.Because she was afraid of being discarded again, Xiao Yueming behaved very well every day.

The children raised in the orphanage have more or less flawed personalities, and the older children in the orphanage take pleasure in bullying the weak.Xu Yueming, who has always been well-behaved and looks like a girl, became the object of their amusement.

Afraid that everyone would hate him, drive him away, even if he was bullied, he did not dare to complain to the dean, so he was always lonely like a mushroom living in a dark and humid corner, begging for the day when the sun would shine on his little corner......

Four years later, those older children left the orphanage one after another, and Xu Yueming's life in the orphanage became easier.

Until that day when I saw Zhou Ning crying in the corner, he was very much like my timid, fearful and helpless self back then.Zhou Ning is like a ray of sunshine sent from heaven into his world, Xu Yueming wants to hold on tightly, wants to slowly protect him from growing up, and doesn't want him to suffer the same suffering as himself again.

"Don't be afraid, you still have your brother..." Xu Yueming gently embraced the weeping Zhou Ning in his arms, his tone soft but loud.

Once there is hope in people's life, life will pass quickly, and Zhou Ning and Zhou Ning spent seven happy years in the orphanage.

"It's beautiful, my brother is the most beautiful in the world in Ningning's eyes!" Zhou Ning raised his cute face and said seriously.

Xu Yueming was really helpless, so he changed the subject: "What did you play with the children in the yard all day today?"

Zhou Ning lowered his head and quietly stuffed a crumpled red note into Xu Yueming's hand.

Xu Yueming lowered his face and asked, "Where did this money come from?!"

Seeing that his brother seemed angry, Zhou Ning immediately explained: "Brother, this is because I helped Xiaopang in the back alley to write his summer homework. He said it was a reward for me. I wrote three courses for him, and my hands are sore."

Xu Yueming still felt a little disbelief, but he didn't question his family's Ningning's character.

Although Zhou Ning is usually lacking in IQ, he is much better at studying than his peers. He saw that Ning Ning did his summer homework, and it only took him a whole morning. Today, he didn't see him all day, and he was worried.Inadvertently glimpsed the scratch on Zhou Ning's palm, Xu Yueming felt that he still had something to say today.

"To be honest, what else did you do today?!" Xu Yueming asked angrily.

"Today... there was still a fight, brother, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, really!" Zhou Ning became more and more anxious as he spoke, for fear that his brother would think him a bad boy.

"What! Tell brother, why did they bully you? Besides your hands, where else did you hurt?!" Before Zhou Ning could speak, he pulled Zhou Ning over to examine him carefully.

Seeing that his brother was in such a hurry, Zhou Ning felt that he had really angered his brother, and hurriedly explained: "Brother, I'm really fine, the one in my hand was dropped on the road when I came back."

After a hasty check, everything was fine except for the hands, "Tell brother, why did you help Xiaopang with his summer homework? Are you short of money? Why didn't you ask brother for it?" His heart was relieved, and his tone softened.

Feeling that his brother didn't seem to be angry anymore, Zhou Ning told Xu Yueming exactly what had happened.

Xiao Pang, who lives in the back alley, was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child. He is used to being self-willed and arrogant, and his family background is good, so he has developed a lazy and rascal appearance.School is about to start, and his father told him that if he can't finish his summer homework the day after tomorrow, he should wait for the belt to be pumped.Xiaopang was afraid of his father since he was a child, so he thought of Zhou Ning, an idiot in his class. Zhou Ning is stupid, but he studies very well, so there must be no problem.It was agreed that each of the three subjects of mathematics, Chinese and English would be [-] yuan, and he would help his cousin with a few Mathematical Olympiad problems plus ten yuan, exactly one hundred.

Zhou Ning got up early in the morning to do the problems, and after lunch, he excitedly brought homework to Xiaopang, but Xiaopang wanted to play tricks on him, and deliberately held the money in his hand, saying that whoever snatched it would get it.

Zhou Ning was outraged, so he grabbed the 100 yuan that Xiaopangyang had in his hand, and pushed him to the entrance of the alley. Zhou Ning was pushed down to the ground by him, just as a car was about to drive by the entrance of the alley.

A sharp sound of brakes broke the tranquility of the old alley, and two or three passersby looked in the direction of the sound of brakes.

Zhou Ning covered his face in fear. He didn't hear the expected violent collision, so he let go of his hand slowly. The car was parked beside him. Looking back, he saw Xiaopang sitting on the ground with frightened pale face. Zhou Ning Regardless of the fright he had just received, he quickly got up and ran back to the orphanage.

Although he told his brother the reason for the 100 yuan, Zhou Ning concealed the part where he was pushed down by Xiaopang and almost hit by a car.

After hearing what Zhou Ning said, Xu Yueming was really relieved, raised his bruised hand and said, "Okay, brother doesn't blame you, but I have to tell brother what to do next time, otherwise brother will be worried, hand injury Later, I will go to the dean with my brother to apply some medicine." Xu Yueming said as he took out his handkerchief to help Zhou Ning bandage it up, and then remembered something, "Ning Ning, can you tell brother why you earn 100 yuan? "

Zhou Ning thought for a while, approached Xu Yueming's ear, and whispered like a kitten, but the excitement in his voice was uncontrollable: "Because I want to celebrate my brother's birthday, sing birthday songs with him, blow out candles, Make a wish and eat the cake." After speaking, I started counting with my hands excitedly.

Xu Yueming's heart trembled, his heart couldn't restrain the pain, and his eyes turned red. He quietly looked at the child he brought up, and gently hugged Zhou Ning, who was counting to himself, "Thank you!" you."

The author has something to say:

Uh, Xiao Chai doesn’t like interrupting the story very much, so he just finished the narration at one time, fearing that some stalks will be forgotten when writing, and it will be bad if there is a BUG. . . .
