Chapter 8

This is calcium deficiency. Li Xuesheng said, "Did you eat well at school?"Don't affect your physical development just to save money.Otherwise, you will cry in the future. "

"You made me eat eggs and meat every day, and the monthly subsidy that the town gave me was not enough, so I put in my scholarship and bonus. The food in the school cafeteria is really expensive!" Chen Shuhua frowned. Nose, dissatisfied, "I have always wanted to save money to buy you a birthday present. But I can't save it."

"As long as you are healthy, it is the best birthday present for me." Li Xuesheng sighed, "The living conditions here are really bad, and everyone is malnourished. I don't care about other people, I just hope you can eat better."

"What about you?" Chen Shuhua worried, "Is the food I secretly bring you every week enough for you?"

"Yeah." Li Xuesheng nodded, and sighed, "It stands to reason that it's wrong for us to hide and steal food. But, there are too many monks, so there is no way! You must study hard and get more scholarships. And try your best Participate in more competitions and get more bonuses. Now, we can only earn money by studying."

"Okay." Chen Shuhua nodded, and said, "I should be able to get a bonus of 100 yuan in this English competition, which is enough for us to eat well for a while."

"You have to hand over all the money to Dean Liu in front of everyone. As for how to manage it, it's up to her." Li Xuesheng ordered.

"Why?" Chen Shuhua asked incomprehensibly, "We have no money."

"The incident this time is so sensational and the bonus is so big, you can't hide it even if you want. Don't let everyone think you are a selfish child." Li Xuesheng explained, "Although everyone is selfish, you should It’s superficial, but it’s still going to be done.”

"Then we will be hungry in the future." Chen Shuhua lamented, "When will we be able to live a life without worrying about food and clothing? I really have had enough of this kind of bitter life!"

"Student Chen Shuhua..." Li Xuesheng suddenly asked solemnly, "What is your wish now?"

"I hope I can live a life without worrying about food and clothing." Chen Shuhua replied seriously.

"You can't say that." Li Xuesheng shook his finger and said, "Aren't you slapping the mayor and Dean Liu in the face in front of the reporters?"

"Then what should I say?" Chen Shuhua frowned.

"Think for yourself." Li Xuesheng glared at Chen Shuhua.

"Xuesheng, why don't you stay by my side tomorrow, and if I say something wrong, you can immediately remind me by pulling my clothes, okay?"

"I don't want to! What's the good of being on TV? Look at the excitement in this yard. I warn you, don't drag me into the water, otherwise, see how I deal with you!"

Chen Shuhua puffed his cheeks, looking unhappy.

Li Xue gave him a blank look, turned over and fell asleep on his own.

"Why are you turning your back on me?"

Chen Shuhua turned Li Xuesheng back dissatisfied, and hugged him tightly.

"You think I like to be interviewed? It's not the mayor, they are so flamboyant!"

"It's going to be an annoyance to spread such a trivial matter everywhere." Li Xuesheng muttered, and said, "Remember, you must keep a low profile!"

"I...know...know..." Chen Shuhua dragged his tone coquettishly.

"Okay, go to sleep!"

Li Xuesheng yawned sleepily and fell asleep in a daze.

Chen Shuhua reached out to turn off the desk lamp, hugged the warm little man in his arms, and gradually fell asleep.

The arrival of the TV reporter caused a great commotion in the Pingqiao Town Welfare Institute.

The children all stared at the cameras and microphones as if they had discovered a new world, and everyone competed to be on the camera.

However, when reporters asked them questions, they all ran away shyly.

The mayor asked Liu Chunhua about the orphanage in front of the camera. Liu Chunhua was so nervous that she could speak incoherently and was sweating profusely.

"Sister, don't be nervous. This is not a live broadcast, and we can edit it when we go back." The young female reporter comforted her softly.

"It doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing, they will cut it off." The mayor whispered in Liu Chunhua's ear, "Just speak as you normally would, don't look at the camera."

Liu Chunhua secretly adjusted her mood, and finally she was able to speak normally.

However, her trembling voice exposed her nervousness.

It wasn't until the camera reporter turned the camera to Chen Shuhua that Liu Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Chen Shuhua calmly talking to the mayor in front of the camera, Liu Chunhua was overwhelmed with admiration, praising this kid in his heart for his promise.

The female reporter simply asked Chen Shuhua a few questions, all of which Li Xuesheng expected.

While Chen Shuhua answered without thinking, he lamented that Li Xue was so good at everything.

Chen Shuhua's calmness, decentness and grace left a deep impression on everyone.

After the reporters left the orphanage with the mayor, they praised Chen Shuhua's future as limitless.

They said that they would come back for interviews when Chen Shuhua was admitted to a prestigious university three years later.

The mayor felt that it was a beauty in his heart, and immediately decided to increase Chen Shuhua's monthly subsidy.

Two weeks later, on Sunday morning, a black Santana car with the license plate of City H parked at the gate of Pingqiao Town Welfare Institute.

The children were playing in the yard, when they saw a brand new car approaching, they surrounded it curiously.

The driver opened the window and politely asked an older girl.

"Excuse me, does Chen Shuhua live here?"

The child nodded, and ran towards the woodshed, shouting at the top of his voice, "Brother Xiaohua, Brother Xiaohua, someone is looking for you..."

Chen Shuhua was hiding in the woodshed and practicing English conversation with Li Xuesheng, when he heard the shout, he hurried out of the room and asked, "Who is looking for me?"

The girl turned around and pointed. Chen Shuhua followed the direction and saw a handsome young man walking in through the gate.

Chen Shuhua felt that this person seemed to have known him before, and when the other person walked in front of him, he suddenly remembered.

He looked at the man in surprise and doubt, and said in Mandarin: "I remember you, you gave me an award."

The man nodded in satisfaction, handed over a beautifully printed business card, and introduced himself in Mandarin: "I am Shen Yixuan, the vice principal of No. [-] Middle School in H City."

Chen Shuhua looked at Shen Yixuan in surprise, took the business card with both hands and quickly glanced at it, thinking about the purpose of this person's visit in his mind.

"I want to talk to you." Shen Yixuan said.

Chen Shuhua nodded, carefully put the business card in his pocket, and led Shen Yixuan to the firewood room.

"I'm very crude here, please forgive me."

Chen Shuhua let Shen Yixuan into the room with apologies.

Li Xuesheng was leaning on the bed and reading a book, when he saw a stranger coming in, he hurriedly got off the bed.

Seeing this person's dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor, he secretly marveled and guessed the other party's identity.

Chen Shuhua put Shen Yixuan's business card beside the bed, turned around and moved a stool for Shen Yixuan to sit on.

Li Xuesheng quickly checked the front and back of the business card with his body covered, and stuffed the business card under the pillow.

Doctor of Education from Harvard University in the United States, the vice principal of No. [-] Middle School in H City, this person is too young!

Li Xuesheng was thinking secretly, observing Shen Yixuan calmly.

After Shen Yixuan took his seat, he quickly glanced at the simple, small but clean and tidy room.

Seeing a slender and beautiful little boy standing by the bed and looking at him, he asked kindly, "Little friend, how old are you?"

"8 is old."

Li Xuesheng's voice was crisp and tender, like the buds of a willow tree.

"What grade are you in?"

"Third grade."

"Go to school so early?" Shen Yixuan asked in surprise, "Can you keep up with your studies?"

"Xuesheng has scored full marks in the exam for three consecutive years, and his classmates can't keep up with him."

Chen Shuhua handed the white enamel cup filled with boiled water to Shen Yixuan, with a proud expression on his face.

Shen Yixuan looked at Li Xuesheng appreciatively, with a warm smile on his young and handsome face.

Chen Shuhua sat by the bed holding Li Xuesheng's hand, and said politely: "Vice President Shen, please allow my brother Li Xuesheng to stay in the room, he will not disturb our conversation."

Shen Yixuan nodded, and gently put down the enamel cup.

"Your speech left me deep impression. (Your speech left a deep impression on me.)" Shen Yixuan said in pure American English, "Can you tell me how you usually learn English (Can you tell me how you usually learn English?)"

Li Xuesheng looked at the personable Shen Yixuan, his eyes flashed with appreciation.

In the eight years since he came to this world, he heard the live version of pure American English for the first time, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of intimacy in his heart.

"I listen to English tapes at school, and listen to English radio at home. (I listen to English tapes at school and English radio at home.) Itried to imitate the sound of the tape and radio, read the English text aloud. (I try to imitate the pronunciation of the tape and the radio, and read the English text aloud.)"

The answer given by Chen Shuhua was the same as the answer given to the reporter last time.

Only, this time, he used English.
