Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode
Chapter 39 Oranges
Fast forward to Saturday.
Because the welfare home he was going to was far away this time, Liao Chu ended his breakfast business early, and many diners who came a step late couldn't help but beat their chests.
He handed a large box of snacks to Liu Xi, and touched Guoguo's head, "Uncle will be back at night, so be good."
Today, Liuxi's wife who was planning the celebration was also at home. It was a rare reunion, so they held a small party.
The acquaintances Jia Ming and Hu Yaozu will also go, so there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.
It's just... After passing the qualification review for buying a house later, and moving to a new house, I still need to find an aunt.
You can't always bother people.
Guoguo nodded, and suddenly waved to him, as if she had something to say.
As soon as Liao Chu squatted down, the little girl gave him a soft kiss with the fragrance of milk.
Liao Chu was taken aback for a moment, and his heart was filled with a sweet and sour emotion.
very nice.
"You can't be caught by the police uncle," Guoguo said worriedly, "you will be eaten!"
Liao Chu: "...uncle policeman can't eat people, where did you hear that?"
Guoguo frowned, "A grandfather said it yesterday."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xi said angrily: "Where did the old bastard come from! You're talking nonsense."
Doesn't this teach bad children!
Qianqian put her hips on her hips and said, "I want to tell mom that you swear in front of the children."
Liu Xi: "..."
Girlfriend, don't pay attention to small details at this time.
Liao Chu laughed, and explained to Guoguo seriously: "That's what grandpa lied to, don't listen."
In order to make their children obedient, parents in the past often said things like "If you cry again, the police will arrest you" and "If you cry again, you will be sent to the doctor for an injection".
The result is to create a psychological shadow on the children, so that they will not dare to ask the police for help when they encounter difficulties in the future.
Guoguo tilted her head and said blankly, "But why did he lie to people?"
You won't get little red flowers, and you won't have snacks if you deceive people, so why deceive people?
She doesn't understand.
Liao Chu thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what to say, so he said, "There are a lot of bad people in the world, so you have to go to school and learn how to tell them apart..."
Is that okay after all?
He couldn't help but began to think, if he were Teacher Yu Yu, how would he teach the children?
Teaching children to grow up is a complicated thing.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Liao Chu drove to find Yu Yu.
Because there were a lot of materials to be transported this time, Yu Yu rented a small truck, and the truck was full of piles.
Liao Chuzu brought two large boxes of pastries, which were just baked last night.
And handed him a small box alone.
Seeing Yu Yu in a daze, he explained: "I saw on the promotional page that the kindergarten is inviting bids..."
Aoba Kindergarten holds many activities every year. On the day of the activity, there will be a buffet, including a considerable part of pastries.
Suppliers invite tenders once a year, and this year is the beginning of the new school year, and it is time for tenders again.
Parents who send their children to private kindergartens have considerable financial strength, and some even manage a company themselves, and they also need to distribute benefits during the holidays.
If you can win the bid, not only can you guarantee part of the income for one year, but it may also attract more potential customers.
After hearing this, Yu Yu took it readily, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I thought you were going to bribe me."
Although they are friends in private, after all, there are teachers and parents of students on the surface. If one party wants something, this friend may not be able to continue.
Liao Chu laughed.
He has already submitted the information and decided to participate in the bidding next week. He has been looking for someone to taste it for the past few days.
Now that the operation of Liao Kee Restaurant is on the right track, and his physical condition and life expectancy are steadily improving, the next thing to consider is to return to the business world.
Simply put, it is to make money.
He wants to give Guoguo a better life.
I want to see her grow up happily without having to worry about every penny like I used to do...
In addition to snacks, he also brought a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil, and put them in the back of the car.
There are dozens of boxes of various sizes neatly stacked inside, and the contents are written on the outside with conspicuous black markers.
There are diapers for babies, sanitary napkins for girls, stationery and reference books for students, and a pair of wheelchairs.
Yu Yu followed his gaze, "A child was paralyzed due to a childhood medical accident..."
Liao Chu nodded.
Except for some healthy female babies, the children living in the orphanage are either disabled, or suffered sudden changes in their families before they reached adulthood, suddenly lost their parents, and cannot survive independently.
In a legal sense, non-immediate relatives do not have the responsibility and obligation to support them.
So once there are no close relatives, or the relatives refuse to accept, the only home for the children is the orphanage.
When Liao Chu adopted Guoguo, the local police had repeatedly confirmed with him, and they still make occasional phone and video visits, for fear that the child would be abused and abandoned.
To feed such a group of children, the manpower, material and financial resources needed are unimaginable.
Yu Yu helped him carry the box up, "I originally wanted to contact the wheelchair manufacturer to see if I could buy one at a lower price, but the other party wanted the donor to show his face and cooperate with the advertisement..."
Children with physical disabilities are inherently sensitive psychologically, and it would be even more inappropriate to allow manufacturers to make a big deal out of this aspect.
Liao Chu was a little moved.
Yu Yu was really thoughtful.
When he was a child, what the children in the orphanage looked forward to most was regular visits from relevant units and leaders during the Chinese New Year.
Because there will be a lot of delicious food, everyone will not have to worry about going hungry in the next few days.
But at the same time, this is what everyone fears the most.
Because along with the condolences and leaders, there are countless cameras and naked scrutiny.
They will be gathered together and repeatedly taught various unfamiliar clichés.
Sometimes someone would come forward, like picking Chinese cabbage in the vegetable garden, or picking livestock, and fiddled with them, fiddled with them, and said without hesitation:
"This child is not good enough, change it to something more festive."
"Smile, will you laugh?"
"Remember to applaud later, to say thank you Mayor XX, remember? Say it again and I will listen."
Nobody ever asked the kids if they wanted to be on camera.
Or no one cares at all.
They are just a group of oil bottles who accept charity from others. What rights and privacy are they asking for?
Those well-dressed old men who never knew what hunger was, faced the camera and repeatedly put on the most "people-friendly" demeanor.
Not once, do it again.
And the background and reference are those orphans who temporarily put on new clothes that don’t fit well, shivering in the cold wind...
"Mr. Liao?"
Seeing him in a daze, Yu Yu called him, "Is there something wrong with this wheelchair?"
Liao Chu let out a breath slowly, "No, very good."
it's already over.
"I originally thought about buying one for her after the salary was paid," Yu Yu said with a smile, "but unexpectedly, a netizen contacted me and said he had a wheelchair Not here, the condition is still very good, ask me if I still need it?"
The netizen suffered a car accident the year before last and suffered comminuted fractures in both legs. At that time, the doctor said that the chance of recovery was very slim.
But he didn't believe in evil. He worked hard to recover and performed rehabilitation exercises in the past two years, and he gradually improved.
Then from the previous month, he began to practice using crutches.
In this way, the electric wheelchair is left idle.
It happened that he had nothing to do to browse the forum, and found Yu Yu's previous fundraising post, thinking that anyway, the wheelchair is idle, so it is better to donate to those in need, which is also a good deed.
He also hopes that his good luck for the rest of his life can be passed on, so that people who get wheelchairs can stand up again.
A few days ago, Yu Yu received the goods and checked the condition of the wheelchair. He found that it was about [-]% new, and all aspects of performance were in good condition. He couldn't help being very happy.
Liao Chu simply calculated the expenses for him, "Is your current salary enough?"
This question is really presumptuous.
Fortunately, Yu Yu is not a coy person.
He rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, "In terms of salary, it's actually not enough..."
It's true that Qingye Kindergarten's benefits are good, but he hasn't passed the probationary period after all, and he bought a lot of furniture, and counting public welfare expenses, he became a "moonlight family".
"But I still have a TALK account," Yu Yu said with a smile, "I can still receive advertisements every now and then, so I earn more than my salary."
Although he intends to help others, he has not yet reached the point of becoming obsessed, and understands the truth of "saving others first saves himself".
This time, the orphanage they were going to was located in the northeast of Qingjiang City, a small city called Kangming.
It is said to be a small city, but it is actually no more than a county-level city. When the city was re-planned a few years ago, it was upgraded from a county seat to a county-level city. At least it managed to create a welfare home.
Because there is no pillar industry in the local area, the economy is not developed, and the financial allocation is not sufficient.
In this context, welfare homes in small counties are even more difficult to sustain.
There is no suitable expressway connection from Qingjiang to Kangming, and it takes about three hours to take the national highway.
For such a long time, if you drive alone, the burden is indeed a bit heavy.
Both of them had driver's licenses, so they agreed to divide the front and rear sections, Yu Yu first.
The weather is getting colder, and the lush protective forests on the roadside are obviously sparser.
Even the green is not like the thick green in summer.
Looking from the car window to both sides of the road, there are flat fields as far as the eye can see.
This is a unique sight for cities in the northern plains.
The fields after the autumn harvest are bare, which is really not interesting, and it becomes boring after a while.
But in the protective belt in the middle of the road, clumps of roses are in full swing.
Rose is cheap, easy to feed, and has a long flowering season. It is the most common official ornamental flower in northern cities.
Yu Yu suddenly asked, "Guoguo said, you've been practicing singing recently."
Speaking of this, Liao Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well……"
Yu Yu smiled and said, "It's just that I'm free, if you don't mind, I'll check it out for you in advance?"
The road ahead is straight and long, and the scenery on both sides is like a mold carved out. You must find something to do, otherwise you will get tired easily.
Liao Chu originally wanted to say that the two veteran folk bands and a professional singer "escaped" one after another in the store, and he was really broken.
But after thinking about it, those three people have excellent professional qualities, but they may not be able to teach others!
Thinking of this, Liao Chu cleared his throat and sang a few lines as expected.
"How about it?"
This tone is a bit expectant.
Yu Yu suddenly regretted starting this topic.
Even if he is not a professional, he can still hear that Liao Chu's words are too flawed.
It's like a sieve, and there is nowhere to start to make up for it.
The sound is fluttering, the rhythm is not accurate, switching randomly between four beats and eight beats...
In one word: terminally ill!
Yu Yu didn't respond for a long time, Liao Chu guessed something.
The atmosphere was suddenly awkward.
"That," Yu Yu sneaked a glance at him, and decided to make up for one or two, "Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. There is no requirement for the actual effect of the chorus this time. Parents' love and hard work...
There will be many difficulties in life, let the children see in advance the fighting spirit of the parents who will not give up, and the subconscious will serve as a benchmark.If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you will not give up easily. "
Liao Chu suddenly realized that it was so!
I didn't expect a small chorus to be full of such deep meaning.
He is shallow.
Children's education is really a profound knowledge.
"Is that so?"
Yu Yu nodded.
Of course... I lied to you!
Although it is indeed possible to help children establish a positive image, parent-child chorus singing is not considered so far from the beginning, it is just to create more contact opportunities for everyone.
Yu Yu cleared his throat guiltily, and secretly observed Liao Chu's expression.
I don't know where the other party's thinking has diverged, and I nod secretly from time to time.
But the expression has indeed stretched out.
He suddenly realized a problem:
This Mr. Liao looks calm and mature, but he is surprisingly easy to coax...
Some sections of the national road are built directly at the entrance of the village.
The two of them stopped to rest, got out of the car to move their hands and feet, and when they were about to switch driving, Yu Yu found a peddler selling oranges on the side of the road.
The boss is a half-old man in his 60s, his head, face and neck are tanned and shiny, and he looks like a classic image of the working people at the bottom.
Yu Yu couldn't help it when he saw the old man selling goods on the side of the road.
It's not easy at such an age.
The autumn sun was high and strong, making people's throats smoke, and it was time to eat some fruit.
If it is delicious, you can also buy some for the children in the orphanage.
Thinking of this, Yu Yu walked over while doing stretching exercises and asked:
"Master, how do you sell these oranges?"
The uncle grinned, showing his yellow teeth, "Ten yuan and three catties!"
Yu Yu raised his eyebrows, it was quite cheap.
Now that the oranges have just been on the market, they cost at least four yuan a catty in Qingjiang City.
"Is this sweet?" he asked.
The uncle rubbed his hands together, grabbed one boldly and opened it, "Would you like to try it? Buy it after you taste it."
The unique fragrance of orange peel spreads instantly, making people salivate instinctively.
Yu Yu took it, took out a few petals and tasted it, his eyes lit up.
So sweet, very refreshing.
Just as Liao Chu also came over, he handed over the rest.
"Try it, it's really sweet, and the skin is thin."
The orange is not big, and it looks very small in Liao Chu's hand.
He ate a few petals, and handed the rest back to Yu Yu, "It's okay, how much is it?"
Yu Yu swallowed the remaining slices of orange, and happily picked them up, "Ten yuan and three catties."
Liao Chu nodded, then glanced at the old man again, but remained silent.
I only occasionally grab a few oranges and squeeze them to check the situation. If there is nothing wrong, I throw them into a large plastic bag.
The uncle is very happy when there is business coming.
He took the initiative to help Yu Yu hold the plastic bag, and from time to time enthusiastically gave advice:
"That one, the one at the bottom, designated sweet!"
Not long after, Yu Yu picked out a large plastic bag, "Weigh these first."
These can be eaten by him and Mr. Liao on the road.
I'll buy some for the kids later.
After all, welfare homes that cannot guarantee the basic needs of life may have no hope for fruits.
The uncle responded quickly, and was about to weigh, but was held down by Liao Chu.
He and Yu Yu looked over together, "What's wrong?"
Liao Chu looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes slanted to the back of the basket, "Change it back."
The oranges here are all placed in large wicker baskets, and the side facing away from the customer cannot be seen at all.
The uncle subconsciously wanted to break free, "Young man, why are you still doing it?"
Did not move.
Feeling something was wrong, Yu Yu took two steps to the side, leaned over to look behind the basket.
"Ah! That's the orange I picked!"
He was surprised to find that there was a plastic bag full of oranges on the back of the wicker basket.
Yu Yu found it very interesting because the last few that were put in still had green leaves, so he was particularly impressed.
Seeing that the trick was seen through, the old man's face turned blue and red, and he hurriedly reached out to grab it.
"I made a mistake..."
Yu Yu grabbed the plastic bag on the ground and looked up to see Liao Chu dumping the old man's plastic bag upside down.
The one buried at the bottom is simply carrying oranges!
Several of them have visibly rotted away!
Yu Yu was so angry that he said, "How could you do this!"
Unfortunately, I still think it is not easy to sell oranges on the roadside when you are old.
The uncle continued to speak stubbornly, "I really made a mistake, that's what I planned to take home to eat myself."
Yu Yu was not convinced, "In the beginning, one of these two bags was on the ground and the other was in your hand. If you didn't deliberately drop the bags, you can just weigh them and finish."
"Weigh these." Liao Chu took the orange from Yu Yu's hand and handed it to the boss again.
Yu Yu was a little angry, "I won't buy from him anymore."
Liao Chu took a look at him, and found that he was full of anger, a bit like... a puffer fish.
No wonder.
Although Yu Yu's experience was a bit bumpy, after all, his growth environment has always been very simple. He was booked by Qingye Kindergarten before graduation, and he has not experienced much training in the real world.
"Others are not good, but oranges are really good."
Yu Yu hummed reluctantly.
Indeed, otherwise I would not want to buy it.
And it's cheap too.
Seeing him turn around, Liao Chu said again: "We have exposed his tricks, but the people behind may not be. It is better to buy it directly, and save others from being fooled."
It's rare for him to talk so much.
Yu Yu was taken aback for a moment, but it was true.
Thinking about this kind of thing, even if they make a big fuss, this person will not change.
Will definitely cheat others again.
"I, I won't sell it!" The uncle said angrily.
Liao Chu looked at him condescendingly, "Call the police."
The uncle saw that Liao Chu was tall and burly, and he had a scary dark face, he was very aggrieved.
"……Sell."
If he called the police, or came to the industry and commerce, his oranges might be dragged away.
Wait a day or two to get it back, it will be rotten!
He put the oranges on the scale, "Four catties seven taels, you..."
Before the words finished, Liao Chu raised his chin towards the scale, and said coldly, "Weigh again."
The old man blushed, sweat dripped from his forehead.
Mother, this is an expert.
With a flushed face, he stretched out his hand to operate the keyboard of the electronic scale a few times, and the weight immediately plummeted.
"Three catties, two taels..."
Liao Chu hummed.
Yu Yu: "..."
In just a few minutes, Mr. Yu Yu, who encountered a series of deceptions, suddenly felt suspicious of his life.
He was about to be blown up!
The next moment, Liao Chu heard the young man who had been smiling gently since he met lose control:
"How can you do this! It's too much!"
Not only sell rotten oranges, but also fake them!
The uncle is also like a frost-beaten eggplant at the moment, wilting.
He rubbed his hands, lowered his head, and beeped softly, "At home, it's difficult at home... This is the first time."
However, Yu Yu no longer wanted to believe him.
"Then you are quite talented, and you are so proficient for the first time."
Taking a step back, even if the family is in trouble, you can't make money against your conscience!
Liao Chu patted him on the shoulder, squatted down by himself, and continued to pick oranges.
Yu Yu himself got angry for a while, gave the old man a fierce look, and followed suit.
While picking, he muttered, "I'll never buy things from grandpas and aunts on the roadside again!"
In fact, looking back now, some people used to think that he was young and thin-skinned, and deliberately kidnapped him morally.
Sometimes I just want to buy a bundle of vegetables, but as soon as I open my mouth, those uncles and aunts who sell vegetables will stuff their brains into it...
Liao Chu smiled lowly.
I'm afraid I can't do it.
The two of them carefully screened the baskets of oranges from the uncle, and made two baskets of the last three baskets, and paid together with the first bag.
The uncle smacked and helped to move into the car.
Before leaving, Yu Yu still poked his head out from the co-pilot, squinted his eyes and warned, "We often leave here, you must not lie to others in the future!"
The uncle nodded like pecking rice, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's all just a moment of confusion."
Yu Yu snorted heavily.
It's almost like scaring children.
Back in the car, Yu Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"What if he buys more and cheats again?"
An electric car jumped out of the intersection ahead, and Liao Chu honked the horn.
"At least not in a short time, after all, Teacher Yu has spoken harshly."
Yu Yu heard the teasing in his words, and laughed.
Forget it, let's eat oranges.
While peeling the oranges, he asked, "Why are you so experienced?"
Liao Chu said casually: "I have been deceived before."
Everyone came from Baiding.
He wasn't born with a spoon either.
It was the first time I worked in a restaurant, and I went shopping with others, but I bought a bag of ten catties of crabs, and only three or four catties of water and leggings... The deduction of wages made him almost unable to survive.
But it is precisely because of this that I have a long memory.
Yu Yu felt mentally balanced for an instant, and then felt that the other party was a bit miserable.
It's not easy for a child who grew up in an orphanage, how could the other party have the heart to cheat?
How heartless.
Although the sun is hot at this moment, it is still quite pleasant to pass under the shade of the trees with the car windows open and the cool breeze from outside constantly pouring in.
Yu Yu peeled a few oranges, but didn't eat them, just placed them in the shade of the front fender.
Liao Chu took a look:
This batch of oranges has thin skin, thick flesh and rich juice, facing the light, the edges are a little translucent, crystal clear, round and chubby, very cute.
It wasn't until the fourth one that Yu Yu stuffed it into his mouth.
The sweet and sour juice filled every corner of the mouth, even bringing freshness to the air.
Then he continued to happily peel the oranges, "You can eat it later when you are free."
So while waiting for the red light at the next intersection, Liao Chu ate four naked oranges in one go.
A little full.
But it's really sweet.
Because the welfare home he was going to was far away this time, Liao Chu ended his breakfast business early, and many diners who came a step late couldn't help but beat their chests.
He handed a large box of snacks to Liu Xi, and touched Guoguo's head, "Uncle will be back at night, so be good."
Today, Liuxi's wife who was planning the celebration was also at home. It was a rare reunion, so they held a small party.
The acquaintances Jia Ming and Hu Yaozu will also go, so there is no need to worry about anything going wrong.
It's just... After passing the qualification review for buying a house later, and moving to a new house, I still need to find an aunt.
You can't always bother people.
Guoguo nodded, and suddenly waved to him, as if she had something to say.
As soon as Liao Chu squatted down, the little girl gave him a soft kiss with the fragrance of milk.
Liao Chu was taken aback for a moment, and his heart was filled with a sweet and sour emotion.
very nice.
"You can't be caught by the police uncle," Guoguo said worriedly, "you will be eaten!"
Liao Chu: "...uncle policeman can't eat people, where did you hear that?"
Guoguo frowned, "A grandfather said it yesterday."
As soon as the words fell, Liu Xi said angrily: "Where did the old bastard come from! You're talking nonsense."
Doesn't this teach bad children!
Qianqian put her hips on her hips and said, "I want to tell mom that you swear in front of the children."
Liu Xi: "..."
Girlfriend, don't pay attention to small details at this time.
Liao Chu laughed, and explained to Guoguo seriously: "That's what grandpa lied to, don't listen."
In order to make their children obedient, parents in the past often said things like "If you cry again, the police will arrest you" and "If you cry again, you will be sent to the doctor for an injection".
The result is to create a psychological shadow on the children, so that they will not dare to ask the police for help when they encounter difficulties in the future.
Guoguo tilted her head and said blankly, "But why did he lie to people?"
You won't get little red flowers, and you won't have snacks if you deceive people, so why deceive people?
She doesn't understand.
Liao Chu thought for a while, but couldn't figure out what to say, so he said, "There are a lot of bad people in the world, so you have to go to school and learn how to tell them apart..."
Is that okay after all?
He couldn't help but began to think, if he were Teacher Yu Yu, how would he teach the children?
Teaching children to grow up is a complicated thing.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Liao Chu drove to find Yu Yu.
Because there were a lot of materials to be transported this time, Yu Yu rented a small truck, and the truck was full of piles.
Liao Chuzu brought two large boxes of pastries, which were just baked last night.
And handed him a small box alone.

Parents who send their children to private kindergartens have considerable financial strength, and some even manage a company themselves, and they also need to distribute benefits during the holidays.
If you can win the bid, not only can you guarantee part of the income for one year, but it may also attract more potential customers.
After hearing this, Yu Yu took it readily, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I thought you were going to bribe me."
Although they are friends in private, after all, there are teachers and parents of students on the surface. If one party wants something, this friend may not be able to continue.
Liao Chu laughed.
He has already submitted the information and decided to participate in the bidding next week. He has been looking for someone to taste it for the past few days.
Now that the operation of Liao Kee Restaurant is on the right track, and his physical condition and life expectancy are steadily improving, the next thing to consider is to return to the business world.
Simply put, it is to make money.
He wants to give Guoguo a better life.
I want to see her grow up happily without having to worry about every penny like I used to do...
In addition to snacks, he also brought a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil, and put them in the back of the car.
There are dozens of boxes of various sizes neatly stacked inside, and the contents are written on the outside with conspicuous black markers.
There are diapers for babies, sanitary napkins for girls, stationery and reference books for students, and a pair of wheelchairs.
Yu Yu followed his gaze, "A child was paralyzed due to a childhood medical accident..."
Liao Chu nodded.
Except for some healthy female babies, the children living in the orphanage are either disabled, or suffered sudden changes in their families before they reached adulthood, suddenly lost their parents, and cannot survive independently.

So once there are no close relatives, or the relatives refuse to accept, the only home for the children is the orphanage.
When Liao Chu adopted Guoguo, the local police had repeatedly confirmed with him, and they still make occasional phone and video visits, for fear that the child would be abused and abandoned.
To feed such a group of children, the manpower, material and financial resources needed are unimaginable.
Yu Yu helped him carry the box up, "I originally wanted to contact the wheelchair manufacturer to see if I could buy one at a lower price, but the other party wanted the donor to show his face and cooperate with the advertisement..."
Children with physical disabilities are inherently sensitive psychologically, and it would be even more inappropriate to allow manufacturers to make a big deal out of this aspect.
Liao Chu was a little moved.
Yu Yu was really thoughtful.
When he was a child, what the children in the orphanage looked forward to most was regular visits from relevant units and leaders during the Chinese New Year.

They will be gathered together and repeatedly taught various unfamiliar clichés.
Sometimes someone would come forward, like picking Chinese cabbage in the vegetable garden, or picking livestock, and fiddled with them, fiddled with them, and said without hesitation:
"This child is not good enough, change it to something more festive."
"Smile, will you laugh?"
"Remember to applaud later, to say thank you Mayor XX, remember? Say it again and I will listen."
Nobody ever asked the kids if they wanted to be on camera.
Or no one cares at all.
They are just a group of oil bottles who accept charity from others. What rights and privacy are they asking for?
Those well-dressed old men who never knew what hunger was, faced the camera and repeatedly put on the most "people-friendly" demeanor.
Not once, do it again.
And the background and reference are those orphans who temporarily put on new clothes that don’t fit well, shivering in the cold wind...
"Mr. Liao?"
Seeing him in a daze, Yu Yu called him, "Is there something wrong with this wheelchair?"
Liao Chu let out a breath slowly, "No, very good."
it's already over.
"I originally thought about buying one for her after the salary was paid," Yu Yu said with a smile, "but unexpectedly, a netizen contacted me and said he had a wheelchair Not here, the condition is still very good, ask me if I still need it?"
The netizen suffered a car accident the year before last and suffered comminuted fractures in both legs. At that time, the doctor said that the chance of recovery was very slim.

Liao Chu simply calculated the expenses for him, "Is your current salary enough?"
This question is really presumptuous.
Fortunately, Yu Yu is not a coy person.
He rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, "In terms of salary, it's actually not enough..."
It's true that Qingye Kindergarten's benefits are good, but he hasn't passed the probationary period after all, and he bought a lot of furniture, and counting public welfare expenses, he became a "moonlight family".
"But I still have a TALK account," Yu Yu said with a smile, "I can still receive advertisements every now and then, so I earn more than my salary."
Although he intends to help others, he has not yet reached the point of becoming obsessed, and understands the truth of "saving others first saves himself".
This time, the orphanage they were going to was located in the northeast of Qingjiang City, a small city called Kangming.
It is said to be a small city, but it is actually no more than a county-level city. When the city was re-planned a few years ago, it was upgraded from a county seat to a county-level city. At least it managed to create a welfare home.
Because there is no pillar industry in the local area, the economy is not developed, and the financial allocation is not sufficient.
In this context, welfare homes in small counties are even more difficult to sustain.
There is no suitable expressway connection from Qingjiang to Kangming, and it takes about three hours to take the national highway.
For such a long time, if you drive alone, the burden is indeed a bit heavy.
Both of them had driver's licenses, so they agreed to divide the front and rear sections, Yu Yu first.
The weather is getting colder, and the lush protective forests on the roadside are obviously sparser.
Even the green is not like the thick green in summer.
Looking from the car window to both sides of the road, there are flat fields as far as the eye can see.
This is a unique sight for cities in the northern plains.
The fields after the autumn harvest are bare, which is really not interesting, and it becomes boring after a while.
But in the protective belt in the middle of the road, clumps of roses are in full swing.
Rose is cheap, easy to feed, and has a long flowering season. It is the most common official ornamental flower in northern cities.
Yu Yu suddenly asked, "Guoguo said, you've been practicing singing recently."
Speaking of this, Liao Chu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Well……"
Yu Yu smiled and said, "It's just that I'm free, if you don't mind, I'll check it out for you in advance?"
The road ahead is straight and long, and the scenery on both sides is like a mold carved out. You must find something to do, otherwise you will get tired easily.
Liao Chu originally wanted to say that the two veteran folk bands and a professional singer "escaped" one after another in the store, and he was really broken.
But after thinking about it, those three people have excellent professional qualities, but they may not be able to teach others!
Thinking of this, Liao Chu cleared his throat and sang a few lines as expected.
"How about it?"
This tone is a bit expectant.
Yu Yu suddenly regretted starting this topic.
Even if he is not a professional, he can still hear that Liao Chu's words are too flawed.
It's like a sieve, and there is nowhere to start to make up for it.
The sound is fluttering, the rhythm is not accurate, switching randomly between four beats and eight beats...
In one word: terminally ill!
Yu Yu didn't respond for a long time, Liao Chu guessed something.
The atmosphere was suddenly awkward.
"That," Yu Yu sneaked a glance at him, and decided to make up for one or two, "Actually, you don't have to pay too much attention to it. There is no requirement for the actual effect of the chorus this time. Parents' love and hard work...
There will be many difficulties in life, let the children see in advance the fighting spirit of the parents who will not give up, and the subconscious will serve as a benchmark.If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you will not give up easily. "
Liao Chu suddenly realized that it was so!
I didn't expect a small chorus to be full of such deep meaning.
He is shallow.
Children's education is really a profound knowledge.
"Is that so?"
Yu Yu nodded.
Of course... I lied to you!
Although it is indeed possible to help children establish a positive image, parent-child chorus singing is not considered so far from the beginning, it is just to create more contact opportunities for everyone.
Yu Yu cleared his throat guiltily, and secretly observed Liao Chu's expression.
I don't know where the other party's thinking has diverged, and I nod secretly from time to time.
But the expression has indeed stretched out.
He suddenly realized a problem:
This Mr. Liao looks calm and mature, but he is surprisingly easy to coax...
Some sections of the national road are built directly at the entrance of the village.
The two of them stopped to rest, got out of the car to move their hands and feet, and when they were about to switch driving, Yu Yu found a peddler selling oranges on the side of the road.
The boss is a half-old man in his 60s, his head, face and neck are tanned and shiny, and he looks like a classic image of the working people at the bottom.
Yu Yu couldn't help it when he saw the old man selling goods on the side of the road.
It's not easy at such an age.
The autumn sun was high and strong, making people's throats smoke, and it was time to eat some fruit.
If it is delicious, you can also buy some for the children in the orphanage.
Thinking of this, Yu Yu walked over while doing stretching exercises and asked:
"Master, how do you sell these oranges?"
The uncle grinned, showing his yellow teeth, "Ten yuan and three catties!"
Yu Yu raised his eyebrows, it was quite cheap.
Now that the oranges have just been on the market, they cost at least four yuan a catty in Qingjiang City.
"Is this sweet?" he asked.
The uncle rubbed his hands together, grabbed one boldly and opened it, "Would you like to try it? Buy it after you taste it."
The unique fragrance of orange peel spreads instantly, making people salivate instinctively.
Yu Yu took it, took out a few petals and tasted it, his eyes lit up.
So sweet, very refreshing.
Just as Liao Chu also came over, he handed over the rest.
"Try it, it's really sweet, and the skin is thin."
The orange is not big, and it looks very small in Liao Chu's hand.
He ate a few petals, and handed the rest back to Yu Yu, "It's okay, how much is it?"
Yu Yu swallowed the remaining slices of orange, and happily picked them up, "Ten yuan and three catties."
Liao Chu nodded, then glanced at the old man again, but remained silent.
I only occasionally grab a few oranges and squeeze them to check the situation. If there is nothing wrong, I throw them into a large plastic bag.
The uncle is very happy when there is business coming.
He took the initiative to help Yu Yu hold the plastic bag, and from time to time enthusiastically gave advice:
"That one, the one at the bottom, designated sweet!"
Not long after, Yu Yu picked out a large plastic bag, "Weigh these first."
These can be eaten by him and Mr. Liao on the road.
I'll buy some for the kids later.
After all, welfare homes that cannot guarantee the basic needs of life may have no hope for fruits.
The uncle responded quickly, and was about to weigh, but was held down by Liao Chu.
He and Yu Yu looked over together, "What's wrong?"
Liao Chu looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes slanted to the back of the basket, "Change it back."
The oranges here are all placed in large wicker baskets, and the side facing away from the customer cannot be seen at all.
The uncle subconsciously wanted to break free, "Young man, why are you still doing it?"
Did not move.
Feeling something was wrong, Yu Yu took two steps to the side, leaned over to look behind the basket.
"Ah! That's the orange I picked!"
He was surprised to find that there was a plastic bag full of oranges on the back of the wicker basket.
Yu Yu found it very interesting because the last few that were put in still had green leaves, so he was particularly impressed.
Seeing that the trick was seen through, the old man's face turned blue and red, and he hurriedly reached out to grab it.
"I made a mistake..."
Yu Yu grabbed the plastic bag on the ground and looked up to see Liao Chu dumping the old man's plastic bag upside down.
The one buried at the bottom is simply carrying oranges!
Several of them have visibly rotted away!
Yu Yu was so angry that he said, "How could you do this!"
Unfortunately, I still think it is not easy to sell oranges on the roadside when you are old.
The uncle continued to speak stubbornly, "I really made a mistake, that's what I planned to take home to eat myself."
Yu Yu was not convinced, "In the beginning, one of these two bags was on the ground and the other was in your hand. If you didn't deliberately drop the bags, you can just weigh them and finish."
"Weigh these." Liao Chu took the orange from Yu Yu's hand and handed it to the boss again.
Yu Yu was a little angry, "I won't buy from him anymore."
Liao Chu took a look at him, and found that he was full of anger, a bit like... a puffer fish.
No wonder.
Although Yu Yu's experience was a bit bumpy, after all, his growth environment has always been very simple. He was booked by Qingye Kindergarten before graduation, and he has not experienced much training in the real world.
"Others are not good, but oranges are really good."
Yu Yu hummed reluctantly.
Indeed, otherwise I would not want to buy it.
And it's cheap too.
Seeing him turn around, Liao Chu said again: "We have exposed his tricks, but the people behind may not be. It is better to buy it directly, and save others from being fooled."
It's rare for him to talk so much.
Yu Yu was taken aback for a moment, but it was true.
Thinking about this kind of thing, even if they make a big fuss, this person will not change.
Will definitely cheat others again.
"I, I won't sell it!" The uncle said angrily.
Liao Chu looked at him condescendingly, "Call the police."
The uncle saw that Liao Chu was tall and burly, and he had a scary dark face, he was very aggrieved.
"……Sell."
If he called the police, or came to the industry and commerce, his oranges might be dragged away.
Wait a day or two to get it back, it will be rotten!
He put the oranges on the scale, "Four catties seven taels, you..."
Before the words finished, Liao Chu raised his chin towards the scale, and said coldly, "Weigh again."
The old man blushed, sweat dripped from his forehead.
Mother, this is an expert.
With a flushed face, he stretched out his hand to operate the keyboard of the electronic scale a few times, and the weight immediately plummeted.
"Three catties, two taels..."
Liao Chu hummed.
Yu Yu: "..."
In just a few minutes, Mr. Yu Yu, who encountered a series of deceptions, suddenly felt suspicious of his life.
He was about to be blown up!
The next moment, Liao Chu heard the young man who had been smiling gently since he met lose control:
"How can you do this! It's too much!"
Not only sell rotten oranges, but also fake them!
The uncle is also like a frost-beaten eggplant at the moment, wilting.
He rubbed his hands, lowered his head, and beeped softly, "At home, it's difficult at home... This is the first time."
However, Yu Yu no longer wanted to believe him.
"Then you are quite talented, and you are so proficient for the first time."
Taking a step back, even if the family is in trouble, you can't make money against your conscience!
Liao Chu patted him on the shoulder, squatted down by himself, and continued to pick oranges.
Yu Yu himself got angry for a while, gave the old man a fierce look, and followed suit.
While picking, he muttered, "I'll never buy things from grandpas and aunts on the roadside again!"
In fact, looking back now, some people used to think that he was young and thin-skinned, and deliberately kidnapped him morally.
Sometimes I just want to buy a bundle of vegetables, but as soon as I open my mouth, those uncles and aunts who sell vegetables will stuff their brains into it...
Liao Chu smiled lowly.
I'm afraid I can't do it.
The two of them carefully screened the baskets of oranges from the uncle, and made two baskets of the last three baskets, and paid together with the first bag.
The uncle smacked and helped to move into the car.
Before leaving, Yu Yu still poked his head out from the co-pilot, squinted his eyes and warned, "We often leave here, you must not lie to others in the future!"
The uncle nodded like pecking rice, "Don't dare, don't dare, it's all just a moment of confusion."
Yu Yu snorted heavily.
It's almost like scaring children.
Back in the car, Yu Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"What if he buys more and cheats again?"
An electric car jumped out of the intersection ahead, and Liao Chu honked the horn.
"At least not in a short time, after all, Teacher Yu has spoken harshly."
Yu Yu heard the teasing in his words, and laughed.
Forget it, let's eat oranges.
While peeling the oranges, he asked, "Why are you so experienced?"
Liao Chu said casually: "I have been deceived before."
Everyone came from Baiding.
He wasn't born with a spoon either.
It was the first time I worked in a restaurant, and I went shopping with others, but I bought a bag of ten catties of crabs, and only three or four catties of water and leggings... The deduction of wages made him almost unable to survive.
But it is precisely because of this that I have a long memory.
Yu Yu felt mentally balanced for an instant, and then felt that the other party was a bit miserable.
It's not easy for a child who grew up in an orphanage, how could the other party have the heart to cheat?
How heartless.
Although the sun is hot at this moment, it is still quite pleasant to pass under the shade of the trees with the car windows open and the cool breeze from outside constantly pouring in.
Yu Yu peeled a few oranges, but didn't eat them, just placed them in the shade of the front fender.
Liao Chu took a look:
This batch of oranges has thin skin, thick flesh and rich juice, facing the light, the edges are a little translucent, crystal clear, round and chubby, very cute.
It wasn't until the fourth one that Yu Yu stuffed it into his mouth.
The sweet and sour juice filled every corner of the mouth, even bringing freshness to the air.
Then he continued to happily peel the oranges, "You can eat it later when you are free."
So while waiting for the red light at the next intersection, Liao Chu ate four naked oranges in one go.
A little full.
But it's really sweet.
