On the last Sunday of volunteering, Lin Shu came earlier than usual.He didn't come by the bus arranged by the school, but Ran Feng drove to the orphanage behind the delivery van of the furniture store.

Because it was too early, most of the children in the courtyard hadn't gotten up yet.When Li Yusheng ran out wearing a vest, he saw two workers moving a colorful children's bookshelf into the yard.

After moving the bookshelves, Lin Shu sent two workers away, and moved in a bunch of odds and ends with Ran Feng.Li Yusheng followed him to look for a while, and after Lin Shu put down the things, he touched them again, and found books, DVDs, and some odds and ends of stationery and toys.

In fact, without mentioning the bookshelf, what Lin Shu will bring here is still not very different from what he brought on the first day.The price of everything combined is still not very high.

But Li Yusheng couldn't say against his will that what Lin Shu brought...was worthless.

He felt that these things were very, very valuable.Perhaps the actual value is several times higher than the original.

The boy was always calm, although most of the time he was smiling, but that kind of polite smile did not prove that he was happy.

When they first met, they both made a pretty bad impression of each other.But the strange thing is that the two of them didn't end up at odds because of this... Li Yusheng felt that it was Lin Shu's credit, not his.

Li Yusheng couldn't help but think, how does the other party think of him?Hypocrites?Poor man?But no matter what kind... it shouldn't be a positive image, right?

He felt a little sad.

In the gap, he walked up and asked Lin Shu, "Isn't today the last day of your volunteer work?"

Lin Shu replied: "Yes. School will start soon."

Li Yusheng said: "Then you won't come here again, will you?"

His tone sounded a bit reluctant. Lin Shu noticed this and looked at him in surprise.After a while, he opened his mouth and replied: "I don't know about this kind of thing. There is no guarantee."

What does this mean, maybe it will come again?

Li Yusheng couldn't distinguish the meaning of this answer, wanted to ask, but felt embarrassed to continue to ask, and finally he could only ponder in his heart.

After that, Li An'an and Ju Mingfeng appeared one after another.Lin Shu gave her the new hearing aid she bought.Li Anan was surprised at first, then a little excited and embarrassed.At Ye Qingdie's instigation, she used a new hearing aid, and said that "it feels much clearer".

Among the children of similar age, Li Yusheng and Li Anan are the only two left. One is deaf and the other is lame. It can be said that they are sympathetic to each other.So at that moment, Li Yusheng really felt in his heart that he should do something.

He called out to Lin Shu: "Lin Shu!"

Lin Shu looked up at him.

"I'm really sorry," he said very seriously.

Lin Shu didn't know why he started to apologize again, and said, "You have apologized several times."

Of course Li Yusheng knew, but to him, every time he apologized, he had different feelings.

He said seriously: "I think I have misunderstood you. You are different from other people... I shouldn't judge you because of other people's attitude."

Lin Shu heard this, but suddenly said: "I don't think I'm different from others, and I don't understand what happened before, which will make you feel that those who come to volunteer will have bad intentions."

Li Yusheng froze on the spot and didn't speak for a while.Prejudice is accumulated over time, but it is not easy to say what it is.Li Yusheng doesn't like to explain the details of this to others, because others will not understand the sensitivity and pain in his heart, and whoever he tells them may be ridiculed and treated with disapproval.

But he didn't want Lin Shu to feel that he was a snobby and despicable person in the end.

So after a long while, he said, "Before, the kid who came to volunteer before you was about the same age as you, and took a few chocolates... let Xiaobai and the others learn how to bark like a dog, pretending to be a puppy, whoever pretends to be a dog?" It's like...just give them chocolate."

Lin Shu was stunned.

Li Yusheng continued: "I won't talk about self-esteem, because we have no self-esteem. Since I was a child, I have been donated by others for food and clothing. How can I have any self-esteem?" When it fell off, he stretched out his sleeve and wiped it, and continued, "The teacher said: Don't eat the food that comes from you. But those who don't eat the food that comes from you will die soon. I don't know what dignity is, but I don't want to die. Hungry It's hard... starving to death will only make it worse?"

He sat on the ground with his knees hugged, buried his head in his knees, and continued: "But even if we have no self-esteem, we...shouldn't be worth just one piece of chocolate, right? I think a lot sometimes...if I have to act like a puppy , I hope that what you get is not just one or two worthless chocolates."

After hearing this, Lin Shu gradually understood Li Yusheng's thoughts.

He suddenly asked, "So...Xiaobai and the others, are they pretending to be puppies?"

Li Yusheng said: "I've done it. Everyone has dressed up, and Tiantian is the most similar. There is a girl who looks so happy and gave her three chocolates." As he said this, his voice and eyes were a little cold, "So You see, if your friend really wants to see my feet, I'm willing to show them too. My feet are born with deformities, ugly, and I don't like to see them. If you don't feel disgusting, I don't really care about people. Look. I don't think three chocolates can buy me to do this kind of thing... but a meal with a big piece of meat is definitely enough. The other day I thought, your meal of meat is more than 36 people, so even if Let me show my feet to climb the street and pretend to be a puppy... I think it's probably worth it."

Lin Shu was really touched at that moment.

The young man stripped his dignity to pieces and showed it to Lin Shu in detail.His dignity is worthless, worthless.That's not his problem, it's the environment in which he lives that dictates that he can only have so much.He puts a strict price on many things, and defends himself and his friends with this behavior... It seems that only in this way can they gain a foothold in this completely unfair world for them.

Lin Shu suddenly asked, "What do Xiaobai and the others think? Do they also feel uncomfortable?"

Li Yusheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said, "No...they didn't notice anything, and they had a good time with him."

Lin Shu heard this and said, "Li Yusheng, can I tell you a story too?"

Li Yusheng was stunned for a moment before replying, "...um."

Lin Shu then said: "When I was in elementary school, there was a classmate in my class. She was a tall and fat girl. She was very greedy and liked to eat. Although she had a good personality, she was always teased and bullied by boys. Her deskmate was a Very thin, short, and a bit dark boy, but he is the only one who has a good relationship with that girl and won't tease her."

"Girls really like to eat, and they bring all kinds of delicious food to school every day. Sometimes her deskmate would snatch snacks from her, and the girl would give them to him. Later, a little friendship developed between the two of them. The game is where the girl makes some messy requests that she feels she can't meet, and if the tablemate can do it, she will lose to the same table."

"The bet is actually worthless. Sometimes it's a handful of potato chips, sometimes it's half an orange. The boy's family is not poor and there is no shortage of food. This is a game he plays with others."

When Lin Shu said this, Li Yusheng still didn't understand what he wanted to say - he thought that Lin Shu might want to say that pretending to be a puppy was just a game, but that was completely different from what Lin Shu said.

Li Yusheng continued to listen quietly.

Lin Shu said: "The girls' requests are actually nothing serious, such as the golden rooster being independent for a few minutes, reading tongue twisters, etc... But then the boy's mother found out about it, so I don't know how she listened to it." People said, anyway, it ended up in school, and scolded the girl, saying that the girl treated her as a monkey at the same table. Later, the teacher moved the seats between the two, and the girl never played with him again .”

Li Yusheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it for a while.

Lin Shu then said: "Hey, I don't know what the people who made your younger siblings pretend to be puppies thought, and I'm not sure if they did it on purpose. But I don't think they meant to bully your younger siblings. I'm Before coming here, I also spent a little time thinking about how to get along with everyone. I think everyone may just not know how to play with little brothers and sisters, so they chose a game that is not so suitable."

Li Yusheng was silent for a long time before he said: "But that kind of game makes people feel very angry! I don't like what they do."

In fact, this sentence is the truth, right?

Lin Shu replied: "Then next time you go and tell them directly. It's the first time for everyone to do volunteer work, and maybe they don't do very well. If you don't say anything, how will they know what's wrong?"

After a long time, Li Yusheng said, "I will tell you next time."

Lin Shu laughed.

As he said before, many children do not necessarily like to do the work of volunteers at this time.Some are just to avoid homework, some are just for curiosity.Whether you like to do it or not is something that you can only know after you have done it.

But how did we do in the end, whether we can spend this time happily, and whether we can learn something important from each other, it is the result of the joint efforts of both parties.

The school hopes that the students can see the hardships of the world from these children and learn to help others. The orphanage hopes that such activities can bring help to the children and feel that they can get the world's blessings in their congenitally unfortunate lives. Little warmth and joy, this is not a transaction, but an exchange.
