Wishing Restaurant didn't want to explode

When he arrived at the gate of the Kangming City Welfare Institute, Liao Chu finally had a long-lost familiar feeling.

Old and rough, the seams of the door are dotted with yellow-brown rust, and there are weeds growing under the wall...

Yu Yu greeted the dean yesterday.

He made a phone call, and a few minutes later, a woman emerged from the open gate of the orphanage.

She is about 30 years old, wearing a very simple long-sleeved T-shirt, washed to white jeans.

The hair is tied into a ponytail at will, and when the sun shines, it becomes a piece of yellow card.

She is a very simple woman.

Yu Yu said to Liao Chu: "This is the new director of the Kangming Welfare Institute, Liu Xianglan, we all call her Sister Liu."

Liao Chu nodded to Liu Xianglan, "Sister Liu."

Those who are willing to be the dean in this kind of place are very admirable people.

Yu Yu said to Liu Xianglan again: "This is Liao Chu, and he brought a lot of things to help."

Liu Xianglan rubbed her hands happily and embarrassedly, and thanked repeatedly, "Are you tired? Thank you for your hard work, come in quickly."

Her hands were dry and thin, covered with hard calluses, and when they rubbed together, they would make a sound like old tree bark "chi la chi la".

It looked like he was used to hard work.

This orphanage is not very close to the city center, it seems to be a factory building.

Later, the factory went bankrupt and became insolvent, so the court enforced the factory building.

Later, Kangming County was upgraded to Kangming City, and the government built many supporting units, and the welfare home was assigned to this yard.

The yard is very simple, and the concrete floor is so simple that it is a bit empty, but it is just right for children to run and play.

The cement on the left has been shoveled away, exposing the soil below, which has been trimmed into a vegetable garden.

It's a good season, and there are a lot of eggplants, tomatoes, pumpkins, winter melons and so on on the shelves.

They are all relatively easy to feed and common vegetables.

With this vegetable garden, you can save a lot of expenses.

There is also a small fence around the base of the wall, and a few chickens are kept in it.

When Liao Chu and the others came in, the frightened hens huddled together and clucked.

On the ground on the right are various childish pictures drawn with colored chalk, as well as squares filled with Arabic numerals.

Something like hopscotch or something.

Going forward, there are some fitness equipment, small swings, seesaws and so on.

The uniform yellow and purple color scheme is very enchanting, and it is a bit out of place with this simple courtyard.

Liu Xianglan came over, "This is the fitness equipment installed by the government, and the children like it very much."

Yu Yu took a look and found that the color had been worn away in several places.

It is indeed a trace of frequent use.

Come to think of it, these fitness equipments are one of the few game equipments for children.

He opened the door of the truck bed and climbed up quickly.

Liao Chu was standing below, and the two moved one by one and picked up the other, which was very efficient.

The children discovered two strange visitors one after another.

The courageous ones lay down at the door or window, trying to look out.

Yu Yu turned his head and smiled at them.

The children were stunned for a moment, some shy away shyly, but most of them laughed foolishly.

"How many of us are there now?" he asked.

Liu Xianglan wanted to help but couldn't intervene, so she had to push the small trailer over, "31."

After all, it has only been established for a few years.

The previous children were all sent to the higher-level cities.

She smiled and waved to everyone, "Look, who's coming?"

Seeing that the dean's mother let everyone watch, several children who were still holding a wait-and-see attitude crowded over one after another.

After a while, someone suddenly shouted:

"It's brother Yu Yu!"

"Brother Yu Yu is here!"

The door of the room was opened suddenly, and several older children rushed out first, their immature faces full of joy.

The fastest runner was a young girl, about the age of a junior high school student.

Her chest rose and fell violently, and she looked up at the people in the car, with a faint glimmer of water in her shining eyes.

After a while, the expression gradually changed to joy mixed with shock, "Brother Yu Yu?!"

"Sihe? He's so tall, I almost didn't recognize him!" Yu Yu frowned, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

A child of this age will look the same after a few days, and the dried bean sprouts half a year ago actually look a little slim now.

He said to Liao Chu: "I came here half a year ago, but I didn't bring much. These children are very wary, and they probably didn't expect me to come back again."

Liao Chu understood their feelings very well.

Because his previous experience was like this:

Countless people have come and gone, and countless promises have been made.

At the beginning, everyone still had expectations, but after experiencing countless disappointments, it has been proved that those so-called promises are just short-lived.Learned not to hope anymore.

Because without hope, there will be no disappointment.

After seeing familiar people, the children instantly relaxed.

They came out of the house in groups of three and four, and looked around the pickup truck curiously.

Several older children headed by Si He also volunteered to help carry and tidy up.

After seeing the words "sanitary napkin" written on one of the boxes, Si He bit his lip, his eyes were slightly red.

Although there are occasional donations from well-meaning people, the girls seem to be forgotten by the whole society:

Nobody ever thought about what a puberty girl needs.

Before, some people even wanted to erect basketball hoops for the orphanage!

She and two other older girls, who have started to develop, have been wearing old donated bras.

It doesn't fit at all.

I can't even afford decent sanitary napkins, so I have to buy some packaged Sanwu products online...

But Brother Yu Yu thought of it.

"Si and sister, what is this?"

A child rubbed over and raised his head curiously, "Sanitary napkin? What kind of cotton is this? Is it new clothes for us?"

Si He's face became hot, "Go, go, it's none of your business, little boys, move things!"

As soon as she put down the box, she saw another girl running in bouncing around, her little red face was full of excitement.

"Si and sister," her voice was full of uncontrollable joy, "I secretly opened it and looked, it's a sports bra!"

"Really?!"

Si He didn't expect that the other party would even consider such a thoughtful thing, so he quickly probed and saw that it was a brand new bra inside.

She couldn't help reaching out and touching it.

So soft!Very flexible!Girls of different ages can wear them!

The girl took her hand, sniffed and said, "That's great, so the classmates won't laugh at me..."

It's okay in winter, but in summer, the situation inside the clothes can't be hidden at all.

On several occasions, she was pointed at for her ill-fitting camisole.

She doesn't want to either!

But it is difficult for everyone to maintain three meals a day, how could she have the nerve to ask for money to buy this?

Si He also wanted to cry a little bit.

But she is a big sister, don't cry!

It was more than an hour after Yu Yu and Liao Chu finished loading and unloading the goods.

Liu Xianglan counted them one by one, and checked them one by one on the inventory receipts, and was relieved after confirming that they were correct.

Great, and thick clothes!

With these materials, even if this year's financial allocation is not available, there is no worry that the winter will not be able to survive.

Yu Yu and Liao Chure were sweating profusely, and went outside to wash their hands and faces.

He looked at the children cheering and jumping in the window, and the satisfied Liu Xianglan, and whispered to Liao Chu:

"The previous director of this orphanage was very bad. He not only embezzled the state's appropriation, sold off the property donated by the volunteers to fill his own pockets, but also abused the children...

After being reported by someone, she was replaced by the current Sister Liu. "

Liao Chu glanced at him.

Subconsciously, he felt that the person who made the report was the young man in front of him next.

Otherwise, what a coincidence!

When the two of them finished washing and went in, they heard Liu Xianglan calling a child's name while walking into the back room.

"Li Ruo?"

Most of the people living in the innermost are children with disabilities or intellectual disabilities.

As Liu Xianglan came in, a little boy who looked only six or seven years old turned his head.

"Dean's mother."

Liu Xianglan said happily: "Brother Yu Yu and Brother Liao Chu brought you gifts!"

Gift?

That child named Li Ruo's eyes lit up first, then dimmed.

"I don't need gifts."

Only then did Liao Chu realize that his lower body could not move.

It should be what Yu Yu said before, the child whose lower limbs were paralyzed due to an accident.

"You must like it!"

Si He suddenly ran in pushing a wheelchair.

When seeing the wheelchair, the child's eyes lit up, "This, is this for me?"

In his dreams, he wants to go out and have a look like Xiaobian's children, feel the wind outside, see the scenery outside, touch the flowers outside.

But he can't move.

The dean's mother and brothers and sisters are very busy, he is too embarrassed to ask others to fulfill his extravagant wish.

But, that's a wheelchair!

Yu Yu walked over and squeezed his skinny little hand, "Yes, it was given to you by a kind uncle from another place!"

Li Ruo suddenly became at a loss.

"I...can I have it? This is so expensive."

I heard from the dean's mother before that one is worth several hundred yuan!

How much is that!

"Want to try it?"

Yu Yu asked.

Li Ruo nodded desperately, and a few big tears were thrown away, falling on the quilt, and fainted into big dark circles instantly.

Just as Yu Yu was about to reach out to hug him, he heard Liao Chu behind him say, "I'll do it."

Yu Yu hesitated for a while, and gave way, "That's fine."

He really needs to work out.

It's just that I moved some boxes just now, and now my arms are shaking a little, so don't drop the kid.

Liao Chu's appearance was not as approachable as Yu Yu's, and it was his first time here, so Li Ruo was a little timid.

But still obediently let him hug.

Liao Chu couldn't help but recall a childhood friend, "How old are you?"

Li Ruo glanced at him secretly, "Eight years old."

This brother is so tall, I want to be so tall too.

If I am obedient, will I be able to stand up in the future?

Liao Chu was stunned.

Eight years old, I thought I was six...

The experience of being paralyzed in bed all year round made this child as thin as a bone.

The child is sitting in a wheelchair, touching here and looking there in novelty and uneasiness, the cautious movements make people feel distressed.

Yu Yu went over, pushed him a few steps, and then explained the functions of those buttons in detail.

Li Ruo tentatively pressed one of the buttons, and the wheelchair moved slowly.

He widened his eyes in surprise, and shouted: "I will go, I will go!"

The big and small children who were watching all shouted.

Liu Xianglan covered her face, choked sobs leaked out between her fingers.

In order to facilitate the movement of children with physical disabilities, many assistive tools are installed in the room, which is very narrow.

Yu Yu pushed Li Ruo to the yard and encouraged him, "Try it."

Li Ruo stared blankly at the empty yard, and suddenly cried.

He hasn't been out for a long time.

He reached out to catch the wind, as if he could see it slipping through his fingers.

So he pressed the button again and urged the wheelchair to run forward!

I'm catching up!

I am the child of chasing the wind!

The cool autumn wind hit his face recklessly, blowing his messy hair back forcefully.

The ill-fitting old plaid shirt suddenly bulged, hunting in the air, like the sail of a ship, like the wings of a big bird.

The joy of acting independently for the first time in so many years dazzled his head, and he couldn't help speeding up again, crying and laughing in the oncoming wind:

"Woo, I'm running, I'm running!"

A group of children ran after him, envious and admiring.

"You run so fast!"

"Brother, slow down, I can't catch up with you!"
