Chapter 889
Xiaomingyue sat beside her and looked at her father. She was also angry in her heart. She was not angry because of the orphanage. She was still a little ignorant about these things. The most important thing for her was that Xiao Bing was angry. Xiao Mingyue's idea was very simple. Those people made their father unhappy, so they must be big villains and must be punished accordingly.
The car stopped outside an orphanage.
Xiao Bing opened the door and went down first, and then Xiao Mingyue followed him out. The two men looked up and saw a black iron gate, on which was a horizontal plaque written Changping children's welfare home.
Orphanages are generally called by the people. In fact, after the establishment of new China, orphanages were named as children's welfare homes, which were basically organized by state departments and provided corresponding funds for the daily expenses of welfare homes. However, this children's welfare home was not organized by state departments, but was founded by private businessmen. The founder was Zhang Jinlan's grandmother, and Xiao Bing was usually called aunt Jinlan, She should be over sixty years old now.
It is said that Zhangjia was originally a big family in Changping City, but in the chaotic era before the founding of new China in the last century, horse thieves went into the city to burn, kill, rob and abduct, and more than half of Zhang Jinlan's ancestral family died. Zhang Jinlan's grandfather, second uncle and third uncle all died, leaving only his father. Later, Zhangjia began to fall, and Zhang Jinlan's grandmother believed in Buddhism at home, and suddenly sold all the assets of the family one day, The orphanage was founded. After the founding of new China, it was renamed as children's welfare home. Until today, so the children's welfare home in China is basically a national industry, but this children's welfare home was completely founded by Zhangjia. From Zhang Jinlan's grandmother, her father, and Zhang Jinlan's generation, they have been trying to maintain this welfare home, The operating funds are basically the support of some caring people. After all, the family wealth of Zhangjia has been spent almost over the years.
It is such a Zhang Jia who has done good deeds for generations. If he is still persecuted by unscrupulous developers and corrupt government officials, is there any conscience in the world?
Xiaomingyue said, "Dad, you used to live in this yard?"
"Well, yes." Xiao Bing's tone was filled with emotion. The plaque on it was dilapidated, the walls were dilapidated, and the tall buildings that could be seen by looking up looked dilapidated. However, the courtyard was indeed large. As a second tier city, Changping City, although it was not enough to say that an inch of land was worth an inch of money, such a large piece of land was also worth a lot of money. It was reasonable that Zhang Jinlan had no need to support the welfare home, As long as the welfare home is dissolved and the place is sold, it is absolutely enough for her to enjoy two generations of food and drink comfortably.
But she didn't, because the welfare home is her life, and these lonely children are her family!
Xiao Bing took Xiao Mingyue by the hand and patted the black iron gate of the welfare home. At this time, a lame man dressed in rags suddenly came out of the guard room in the yard. The lame man had messy white hair and his left leg was a little disabled, so he walked with a limp and crutches.
The lame man looked sixty years old, his face was wrinkled, his hair and beard were gray, and he was a little hunchbacked. Originally, his eyes were also very muddy, but when he saw Xiao Bing, they shone brightly. At the same time, he accelerated a few steps, walked over, quickly opened the door, and then looked up and down at Xiao Bing. He was a little excited and said, "soldier, is it a soldier, is it a soldier?"
"It's me, it's me." Xiao Bing's heart was also a little excited. As soon as his nose was sour, his tone slightly choked up.
Xiao Bing was very naughty and often fought when he was young, but every time the lame man was always defending him, he had always been treated very well, and even treated him better than those aunts in the welfare home. Xiao Bing sometimes regarded the lame man as a loving father. He hasn't seen him for more than ten years. Can't he be excited!
Xiao Bing's eyes filled with tears, holding the lame, said: "lame, I haven't seen you for so many years, and you are old. Come with me this time, and I'll give you an old-age pension. At such an old age, don't continue to guard the door here."
The lame man patted Xiao Bing, and laughed hoarsely, "good, good boy, the lame man has accepted your filial piety, but no, the lame man is used to this place and can't walk anymore. He doesn't want to leave. Soldier, after all these years, you finally come back."
With tears in his eyes, Xiao Bing said, "I should have come back to see you long ago. It's my fault."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. We all know that you win honor for the country. The person who took you away was the country's. When I took you away, I once said that you will be a person in a special department of the country in the future. I'm afraid it's hard to have a chance to come back. You can come back in your lifetime. The lame is happy enough. God treats me well enough!"
Xiao Bing said, "lame, do you really have to stay and refuse to go back with me?"
"No, No." The lame man was excited for a long time and hugged Xiao Bing. At this time, he saw Xiao Mingyue standing next to him and asked, "soldier, whose child is this?"
"This is my child. Her name is xiaomingyue."
"Your children are all born?" The cripple was more excited, bent down, looked at Xiao Mingyue carefully, sometimes confused, sometimes praised, sometimes relieved, finally touched Xiao Mingyue's head, and sighed, "the moon is not like you, but she is better looking than you. Hahahaha!"
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "lame, are all aunts there?"
"Alas, your aunt and third aunt have passed away."
Xiao bingru was struck by lightning. When Xiao Bing was a child, there were a total of seven women and a man in this welfare home. One man was lame, and the seven women took care of their children's daily life every day. These seven women were called aunt, second aunt and third aunt by Xiao Bing and their children from old to young... And Zhang Jinlan, the Dean, was the second of them, ranking second in age.
Xiao Bing still remembers that the aunt is the strictest, but she also loves herself the most. If she is still alive now, she should be in her seventies, but she passed away unexpectedly.
The third aunt, who likes to knit some things most on weekdays, remembers knitting sweaters for herself in winter, but now she is no longer there.
Xiao Bing said excitedly, "how can the third aunt die at such a young age?"
The lame man sighed and said, "she died last year. The year she died was just 60, which is not a premature death. She had cancer. When she was examined, it was already in the late stage of cancer, and no one can avoid it. You don't have to be too sad."
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "then I'll go and see some other aunts."
"Well, your fourth aunt was picked up by her children and went to the provincial capital to enjoy her happiness. When her children came to pick her up, she didn't want to leave. Finally, she was persuaded by the dean for two days and two nights before leaving with her children, but the others were here to take care of those new children."
As he spoke, the lame man took Xiao Bing to the gate of the welfare home, then stopped, coughed twice, and said, "go in. They must be excited when they see you coming back. Tonight, the lame man will have a good drink with you."
Xiao Bing asked, "how did you know I could drink?"
The lame man laughed hoarsely and said, "when you were a child, you stole the wine from the lame man. Did you stop drinking when you grew up?"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "that's what I said."
"All right, you go in. I'll go back on duty and have two more drinks in the evening."
Xiao Bing promised, took Xiao Mingyue's hand, pushed open the door on the first floor, and stepped in.
After entering the first floor, I saw several children running around the hall, some still running up and down the corridor leading to the upstairs, and two children sitting in wheelchairs, looking at their partners with envy on their faces.
Some of these children are lame, some are deaf, but a few are relatively healthy. Seeing Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue come in, these children all stop and stare at Xiao Bing and Xiao Mingyue one by one.
At this time, a woman's voice came down from the building and asked, "Why are you children suddenly so quiet!"
A footstep came down from the building. Xiao Bing looked up and saw a middle-aged woman in her late 40s wearing a pink sweater coming down from it. It can be seen from this woman that she must have been a little beauty loved by everyone when she was younger. Even now, she also has charm and good looks that can attract any man, Temperament inside gentle, but also with young girls should have playfulness.
After seeing Xiao Bing, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Sir, who are you? What's the matter with coming to our welfare home?"
Xiao Bing's lips trembled. Suddenly, he saw his relatives who had been away for more than ten years. How could Xiao Bing not be excited.
Seeing Xiao Bing, she didn't say a word, but looked at her with such an excited face. The middle-aged woman frowned and wondered in her heart. However, she quickly looked up and down at Xiao Bing for two eyes, instantly widened her eyes, ran quickly to Xiao Bing, grabbed Xiao Bing's clothes, and said excitedly, "are you a soldier? Soldier, are you back?"
"It's me, it's me, aunt, I miss you so much..." It turned out that this was the youngest of the seven sisters and the best-looking one. I remember that she only entered the welfare home when Xiao Bing was five years old, and she also worked voluntarily. It was purely because she loved the children here. At that time, she was only eighteen years old. When she was young, the children had a good relationship with her, especially Xiao Bing, who was particularly naughty, but she liked it best.
In those days, she spoiled Xiao Bing the most. Even if Xiao Bing liked fighting at ordinary times, she always said that Tao boy was good and that Tao boy would be promising in the future. Every time her aunt severely punished Xiao Bing, it was this little aunt who was defending Xiao Bing. Therefore, although she entered this welfare home when Xiao Bing was five years old, in Xiao Bing's heart, her status was no less than that of other aunts.
"You stinky boy!" The middle-aged beauty punched Xiao Bing, almost crying, and then shouted, "the soldier is back, the soldier is back."
Soon, several footsteps rushed from upstairs, behind the building, and in the corridor. Xiao Bing's eyes widened. Looking at these relatives he had been longing for so long, one by one appeared in front of him. The second aunt, the fifth aunt, and the sixth aunt, plus the little aunt in front of him, Xiao Bing's eyes were red, and his tears finally couldn't stop dripping down.
