take a break

His eyes were so clear and clean, but his heart was sour and unspeakable.

Li Xuesheng wiped the wooden chair with a rag, raised his finger to touch the chair, and Chen Shuhua immediately sat down obediently.

Li Xuesheng stood in front of Chen Shuhua, put his lips to the other's ear, and said in a low voice: "Each person has two pencils, two erasers, and two notebooks. The gold coin chocolate is also two pieces per person. The chocolate is a bit bitter, a little sweet, taste It's special. We haven't eaten it before, so let's give it a try. It melts as easily as toffee, so it can't be kept close to your body. I saved some for you, and bought you other delicious ones. We will go to Chai later. Room to eat."

Chen Shuhua's nose was sour, and his eyes suddenly blurred.

"Be happy when taking pictures. This is a permanent commemoration for the children, which is very rare." Li Xuesheng ordered in a low voice, "I will take a photo with you after everyone finishes taking pictures. We will take a photo in front of the woodshed later. We We've been together for 8 years, and we haven't had a single group photo. This time, we must take a few more."

When Chen Shuhua heard "we must take more pictures", he almost couldn't help crying when he thought that he might never have the opportunity to take a photo with Li Xuesheng again.

He quickly sniffed and quickly adjusted his mood.

Hearing Chen Shuhua's sniffing sound, Li Xuesheng's heart suddenly twitched.

He raised his hand and patted Chen Shuhua's shoulder lightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hey, don't cry! If you really want to cry, go to the firewood room and cry later."

Chen Shuhua blinked his wet eyes quickly, pressed his lips tightly together, and forcibly suppressed the violent sadness in his heart.

He took a deep breath, let it out slowly, cleared his throat again, and said, "Okay, let's start posting things."

Li Xuesheng turned around, glanced at the eagerly awaited children not far away, and said to the little girl at the head of the line: "Chengcheng, come and get something."

Huai Chengcheng took the pencil, eraser, and notebook, looked at the two pieces of golden gold coin chocolate that Chen Shuhua handed over, and asked curiously: "Brother Xiaohua, what are these?"

"It's called chocolate, and it's delicious. Its wrapping paper is golden, and it's shaped like a gold coin, so it's called gold coin chocolate."

Chen Shuhua purposely spoke loudly so that the children in the yard could hear his explanation.

“Chocolate is a little bit bitter, a little bit sweet, and has a very special taste. It melts as easily as toffee, and you can’t keep it in your pocket.”

Huai Chengcheng took the gold coins and chocolates, and curiously looked left, right, up, and down at the sun, looking very happy.

Shen Jincheng pointed the camera at Huai Chengcheng, capturing her vivid expression.

"Chengcheng, come and take a photo with Brother Xiaohua."

Li Xuesheng stood at a distance, making sure that he would not be photographed.

Huai Chengcheng put down the pencil, eraser, and notebook, squeezed a piece of gold coin chocolate with each of her two little hands, and stood obediently beside Chen Shuhua, showing a shy smile at the camera under Shen Jincheng's guidance.

After receiving the gifts from Chen Shuhua, every child was full of curiosity about gold coin chocolates.

The impatient child immediately tore off the golden wrapping paper after taking the photo, bit off half a piece of chocolate, and chewed quickly.

Careful children carefully opened the golden wrapping paper after taking the photo, nibbled a little bit of chocolate with their teeth, and tasted it carefully in their mouths.

Shen Yixuan observed each child's way of treating chocolate to judge their personality traits, and only felt that each child was so vivid and cute.

Li Xuesheng felt a little sad when he saw the innocent and lovely children with different expressions.

Children, this is probably the first and last time I will buy you chocolate.

When I earn money and come back to support the orphanage in the future, you should all have grown up and left the orphanage.

I hope that all of you can continue to improve yourself and change your destiny through unremitting efforts.

29. Stay behind...

Liu Chunhua looked at the group of happy children, her eyes hurt a little from the shining golden things in their hands.

She knew that no matter how frugal she was and how hard she worked, she still couldn't afford to buy these things for her children.

Liu Chunhua withdrew her gaze, and turned her gaze to Li Xuesheng who was standing far away, with a sore heat wave surging in her chest.

Good boy, thank you!

You are so kind and benevolent, God will definitely bless you!

Seeing that half of the presents on the table had been given out, Li Xuesheng walked up to Liu Chunhua and said, "Mother Liu, you and Xiaohua will also take a group photo in a while. Then take a few photos alone. When you finish taking pictures, we will take another one." A family portrait of all the members of Zhang Welfare Institute. After the photo is enlarged and developed, I will find someone to make a photo frame for you to hang on the wall."

When Liu Chunhua heard that she was going to take a photo, she was happy, excited, and nervous.

After living for 48 years, she has never taken any other photos except for ID photos.

She looked down at the old clothes covered in dust, and said anxiously: "I'm going to change right now, you wait."

"Wait a minute, I'll ask my mother to buy clothes for you and Mother Xu, try them on and see if they fit. You go and call Mother Xu, and I'll ask my mother to get the clothes."

Li Xuesheng said a word, then turned to look for Qi Xiaolan.

Li Xuesheng originally asked Qi Xiaolan to buy a new padded jacket for Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang, but Qi Xiaolan bought all underwear, woolen sweaters, woolen trousers, trousers, shoes and socks, etc.

Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang suddenly saw a pile of beautiful new clothes that had never been seen before on the bed, and they couldn't take their eyes off of the novelty.

When they learned that these things were bought by Qi Xiaolan for them, they quickly waved their hands and refused: "We can't have... we can't have..."

"This is my youngest son's filial piety. I just help to choose." Qi Xiaolan said with a smile, "If you don't accept it, he will be disappointed."

Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang looked at each other, hesitating for a while.

Qi Xiaolan unpacked the underwear and urged, "Hurry up and put on, Xuesheng is still waiting outside."

Under Qi Xiaolan's persuasion and guidance, Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang each put on new clothes.

"Are the shoes suitable?" Qi Xiaolan looked at the brand new black cotton leather shoes on the feet of the two women, and said, "If they don't fit, you can take them to the mall to change them."

"It's suitable." Liu Chunhua bent down to look at her shoes, and praised, "It's really warm."

"Mine is also suitable." Xu Huifang walked a few steps back and forth in the room, and said happily, "It's really comfortable."

"Sister Chunhua, you are so beautiful!" Xu Huifang looked at the completely new Liu Chunhua and exclaimed, "I hardly recognize you."

Liu Chunhua blushed shyly, and praised: "Little sister, you are really beautiful. You look like you are in your 20s."

Qi Xiaolan looked at the two women admiring each other with a warm smile on her face, and said, "Let me teach you how to do makeup, and I promise you will be 10 years younger."

When Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang heard this, they turned to Qi Xiaolan curiously.

Qi Xiaolan took out two sets of brand new skin care products from the carton, and explained the functions of the products while unpacking them.

She instructed Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang to wash their faces with facial cleanser, and taught them to apply lotion and body lotion.

After that, she took out a brand new set of make-up products from the carton and taught them how to do make-up.

Everyone has a love for beauty, even women like Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang who live in poverty are no exception.

Inspired by Qi Xiaolan, the two gradually put aside their shyness and reserve, and strive to pursue perfection on their faces.

The three women were tossing around the room happily, completely oblivious to the time.

Chen Shuhua had distributed all the gifts and took photos with every child including Li Xuesheng, but Liu Chunhua and Xu Huifang did not come out of the room for a long time.

Li Xuesheng looked at Liu Chunhua's bedroom with the doors and windows closed, and whispered, "Why does it take so long to change clothes?"

He walked towards Liu Chunhua's bedroom, intending to knock on the door to urge him, but was stopped by Shen Yixuan on the way.

"Why go?" Shen Yixuan asked.

"I'll go and rush them." Li Xuesheng replied.

"Don't!" Shen Yixuan laughed, "It's not a gentleman's behavior to disturb a woman's beautiful time."

"Why don't you just change into a padded jacket." Li Xuesheng disagreed.

"It's not just a padded jacket. There are many other things." Shen Yixuan winked and said, "Mom bought them all the things you can think of, and things you can't think of."

Li Xuesheng blinked suspiciously, and looked at Shen Yixuan blankly.

With a strange smile, Shen Yixuan moved closer to Li Xuesheng's ear, and whispered: "Bra, underwear."

Li Xuesheng froze for a moment, her white and tender face gradually turned red, as if a burning cloud was floating on her face.

Since entering the current body, he has been trying to adapt to his identity as a child, gradually forgetting that he is actually a mature man, and also ignoring the meaning of the word "woman".

When he suddenly heard those two sensitive words, he felt uncomfortable for a while.

Shen Yixuan carefully observed the changes in Li Xuesheng's expression, with a narrow smile on his face.

You raised Chen Shuhua like a son, yet you are still so young!

How old is your old man?

Is it still a baby?

Then thinking that he was not an experienced person, Shen Yixuan put away his smile.

You should be as clean as I am, and would rather lack than abuse, right?

very good!

No wonder we hit it off!

What a fate!

Li Xuesheng coughed lightly, and said, "I'm going to stay in the firewood room for a while, and when Mom and the others come out, you can go and call me."

Shen Yixuan knew that Li Xuesheng wanted to
