Literary Heroes of the Republic of China

Song Yanqiu copied a lot of books, and his handwriting was not very strong, but it was very correct. Unfortunately, he wrote some words many times, but he still didn't know them.

Fortunately, the students who came to teach in Ping'an Middle School had a good impression of Song Yanqiu and were happy to teach him.

Song Yanqiu asked several questions in one breath, and then returned to the place where they slept contentedly. As soon as he returned, he was surrounded by the workers who lived with him: "Brother Song, what should I do? Although I can count , but I don’t quite understand what they said, and I don’t know how to count in their words.”

"Brother Song, I forgot the words that little teacher taught me after only a while."

"Brother Song, I don't think I'm very good at studying. Will I be driven home?"

……

Among these people, there are many older than Song Yanqiu, but now they all call Song Yanqiu "big brother".

Who made Song Yanqiu a scholar, or the only one among them?

It's amazing that he can still read.

Song Yanqiu is only 15 years old. Although he is a bit precocious, he is still happy to be admired so much, and he is also willing to be the leader of these people: "It's already late today, so I won't teach you. When I work tomorrow I will teach you how to speak Chinese, and when the time comes, I will say a sentence, and everyone will read a sentence after me!"

"Good!" These people said one after another, very grateful to Song Yanqiu.

Huo Ying's factory has already taken care of the workers, but there is still no hot water for the workers to wash. These teenagers just wiped their faces and went to bed.

At this time, Fu Yun'an was still awake.

He stayed with Huo Ying and read the two letters from Tianxing.

Huo Ying's expression was a little irritable, he took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke through his nose, and said, "We can't stop these things, what else can we do?"

"We can't stop it, but we can make father less involved." Fu Yun'an said: "We can't control what happens to others. The only thing we can do is to make father treat the people under his hands better. Now that the West is at war, we need to open factories as soon as possible to make money."

Huo Yingdao: "I have been watching the factory. I have already recruited some workers from Japan, and then I can start working in the factory that has already been built. I have also found people in India. Finding workers is difficult in Europe, and many of the workers we want have been sent to the arsenal. But maybe we can buy prisoners of war and get them back directly.”

After thinking for a while, Fu Yun'an said, "Yes. You can contact both parties and ask them to capture factory workers and sell them to you." In this world, there are many people who put their interests first. As long as they can afford the price, those soldiers will definitely He is willing to help capture some workers, and maybe buy machines.

If it goes on like this, they will soon run out of money.

Huo Ying spewed two more streams of smoke from his nose: "This Tianxing is definitely an excellent politician, maybe he is a famous person, so he hides his identity."

Fu Yunan felt the same way.

"Tell me, can we contact him? If we can communicate, we can ask him directly about many things." Huo Ying said again.

Fu Yun'an said: "I have asked someone to publish a notice in your name in the next issue of Hope Monthly."

Huo Ying discussed with Fu Yun'an for a long time that day, and came to his factory early the next morning, intending to start work immediately.

Then, he saw a group of teenagers busily busy on the construction site, yelling as they worked.

First, a teenager shouted in substandard Mandarin: "One, two, three, four, five!"

Then others shouted in substandard Mandarin: "One, two, three, four, five!"

The boy shouted again: "Six seven eight nine ten!"

Others followed suit: "Six seven eight nine ten!"

Huo Ying was a little confused: "What are they doing?"

"Second Young Master, they are studying. Second Young Master is really wise! When these youngsters learn it, we won't have to worry that no one will use it in our firm in the future! It's just that these people must be taught well, and they must not be distracted." Zhong Nian Guanshi said: "Second Young Master is really kind-hearted, and it's easy for these people."

Although Huo Ying got such an inspiration from Mu Qiong teaching orphans to read, he really didn't expect those recruited from the countryside to study so seriously.

When he was first brought back by his father, he refused to study at all.

"Why are they willing to learn?" Huo Ying asked.At first, he thought that it would be good if only one tenth of the people love to study.

"If they learn well, they can eat meat, but if they don't learn well, they will be willing." The manager said.

"..." Huo Ying said: "This is indeed a good way." If his father had done the same thing back then, he and his brother would definitely study hard.

Huo Ying looked around the factory and told those teenagers not to build houses.It is better to leave the building of a house to someone who specializes in building a house.

As for what these teenagers are going to do... His flour mill is about to open.

Song Yanqiu, who always thought he would produce firearms: Flour mill?

"We will open a flour mill first, then we will open a textile factory next to it, and we will open a machinery factory over there to produce wrenches and so on. I also bought the land next to it, and then we will open an enamel factory..." Huo Ying plans to open all the factories that can be opened: "You follow me to work hard and study hard, and you will surely live a good life in the future!"

There is a supervisor in the factory who understands the dialect of Lu County, and he immediately helped Huo Ying translate it.

When Cheng Dahai heard this, he was extremely admiring: "Our boss is really amazing! Does he have to produce everything for food and clothing? Brother, what is enamel?"

Song Yanqiu didn't know what enamel was either.

Right now, his heart is sour.

Back then when their family was in trouble, no one extended a helping hand to them. He always felt that people in this world only cared about themselves.Speaking of which, the reason why he treated Cheng Dahai differently was because Cheng Dahai wanted to share his bread with him.

But now, he suddenly discovered that there are still good people in this world, and the Huo Ershao in front of him is a good person.

Huo Ershao knew that Lu County was hit by a disaster, so he came to their Lu County to recruit workers. After recruiting them, he taught them to read and write...

In fact, many people think the same as Song Yanqiu.

Thus, Huo Ying met hundreds of pairs of shining eyes full of admiration.

Huo Ying said again: "I know you had a hard time before, don't worry, as long as you work hard enough in the future, you don't have to worry about food and clothing anymore!"

Young people are easy to fool around. Huo Ying has already made up his mind to find someone to talk to these young people, and find a way to make them loyal to him.

Huo Ying's factory opened like a raging fire.

With the banner of the second young master of the Huo family, he doesn't have to worry about the supply of goods at all, and he doesn't have to be afraid of being tricked by others.

There are not many people in this world who can fight against him, and those people... all of them look down on such a small business.

When Huo Ying's factory opened, the orphanage he opened near Ping'an Middle School had already been fully built.

The orphanage is actually very small, probably as big as a modern community kindergarten, but these days everyone's living conditions are very poor, and there are many people who don't have a house to live in. This orphanage is not too small.

There is a high wall around the orphanage, and there are some two-story brick houses inside. The second floors of these houses are very low, and they are actually attics. You can see the wooden beams and tiles on the top, but here , precisely the bedrooms of these children.

As for the downstairs, it is used for other purposes, such as classrooms, such as places for these people to work, in addition to toilets, bathrooms, kitchens and so on.

This orphanage can accommodate up to 500 people, but now there are only a few dozen people, which is very ample. The only troublesome thing is that there are a few more baby girls in the orphanage.

After discussing with Jin Huailai, Mu Qiong and Jin Huailai decided to let Mama Wu go to work in the kitchen when they moved, and then hired several other women to take care of the children.

Mama Wu, I can't say how bad she is, but she is full of feudal thoughts, and if she brings up these baby girls, she might be broken.

Mu Qiong wanted to change her, but unlike Zhu Wanwan, she was willing to change.Wu Ma is not willing to change, even when Mu Qiong said that men and women are the same, she agreed, but she obviously disagreed in her heart.

Even when sharing food for those orphans, she took it for granted that girls should share less.

Mu Qiong really didn't like her like this.

But recruiting is not easy, so take your time.

Choosing a weekend, Mu Qiong planned to move all those children to the orphanage with Jin Huailai first.

Early this morning, Mu Qiong came to the suburbs.

He went out very early, and when he arrived in the suburbs, it wasn't long before dawn, and as soon as he walked to the entrance of the orphanage, he saw a child about three or four years old sitting blankly on the steps of the entrance.

Although the clothes on this child are very old, they have been washed very clean. They look neat, their hair is not long, cut into a flat pot cover, and their small face is white and tender...

It's not like an orphan, or even... such a child, it doesn't seem like he will be thrown away.

As for why Mu Qiong felt that he was abandoned... Everyone around knew that there were a group of orphans without parents living in this house. After all, Li Zhenyao was not very considerate in her work back then.

As a result, before Mu Qiong took over the place, someone threw the baby girl at the door. These days, more and more people knew the news, and more and more people threw people at the door.

Recently, those orphans have been working hard in the house every day, studying hard and not going outside, and Mu Qiong and Jin Huailai are no longer buying meat nearby, so people outside don't know what's going on inside. Throw them at the door.

But it's not surprising... They're already throwing away their children, and they definitely don't care about their future well-being.

"Son, what's your name? Where is your home?" Mu Qiong asked the child sitting on the steps.

The kid doesn’t say a word or even look at Moo-joon.

Mu Qiong gave him a candy and continued to tease him, but he still didn't respond at all.

It doesn't take long for Moo-joon to realize...there's something wrong with this kid.

Speaking of it, ancient times were actually cruel.

In modern times, even if a child is born with a serious defect, many families will raise it, but in ancient times... the poor families in the countryside, when they see a child with a problem, most of them will throw it away without hesitation.

It is difficult for them to raise such a child, and the child may not be able to survive independently.

As for rich families... the better ones will have a house to support them all the time, but some families will also kill such "shame".

this kid...

Mu Qiong didn't know what to do with him.

It is absolutely impossible to let him fend for himself, but if the child's problems are so serious that he can't even take care of himself, even if he enters an orphanage, he may not have a future in the future.

The child didn't react at all to Mu Qiong, and even Mu Qiong took his hand, but he remained motionless.

Mu Qiong could only take him into the orphanage.

"Mr. Mu, this is?" Wu Ma asked curiously.

"There's another child." Mu Qiong said, "Mama Wu, I'm sorry to trouble you. Go get a bowl of porridge and feed it to this child."

"Sir, a child of such an age can already eat by himself." Wu Ma disagreed.

"I'm afraid he can't." Mu Qiong said.

Wu Ma was a little puzzled, and then noticed that there was something wrong with the child Mu Qiong was holding: "This child is a fool, so he was thrown away, right? Sir, what do you bring back such a child? Even if you raise it I can't help you with work."

"Let's raise it first." Mu Qiong said, he has received modern education, and he really can't afford to watch people starve to death.

Wu Ma muttered a few words, but she didn't dare to refute Mu Qiong, so she went to get the porridge and fed it to the child.

The kid ignored people and fed him something, but he ate it.

Probably even very hungry, he quickly ate up a bowl of porridge.

It was only at this time that Mu Qiong noticed that the child was very thin.

Although he was kept clean, he probably lacked food and clothing at home.

Just after Mu Qiong stayed for a while, Li Zhenyao and her tablemate came.

Mu Qiong had told Li Zhenyao about the move of the orphanage in advance.

When Li Zhenyao faced Mu Qiong, she was still a little excited, but after being excited for a while, she controlled herself and went to see the children in the orphanage.

And at this moment, the door of the orphanage was knocked suddenly: "Is there anyone in there? Is there anyone? I'm here to find my son.

Hearing this, Mu Qiong looked at the door in surprise. Wasn't that child deliberately thrown at the door of their orphanage?
