Chapter 426 The Spring Festival of 1988 (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

where are you from my friend
It's like a butterfly flew into my window

I don't know how many days I can stay
we've been apart for too long

On the TV, Mao Min was wearing a golden coat with a white T-shirt on it, twisting in a posture that made Wu Jianye feel a little awkward, and sang "Missing".

This is the Spring Festival Gala in 1988. Compared with the Spring Festival Gala of previous years, this Spring Festival Gala is a little less interesting. The more classic sentence is the sentence of Niu Qun: leader, colon
And this year's New Year in the courtyard is also very different from previous years.

Neither Yanwen nor Zhou Tao's family came back. Xiangjiang was too busy with things, and even during the Chinese New Year, the two of them had no more time to rest.

But if it wasn't lively, it wouldn't be considered too much, just Wu Nianyi filled the whole courtyard with laughter, and the three old people almost all circled around him.

Soon there was the sound of firecrackers going off outside, the little guy creaked and pointed outside, not afraid of the sound of firecrackers, he really wanted to go and have a look.

So Wu Jianye was sent out by his mother to set off firecrackers.

He lit a cigarette and held it in his hand. Firecrackers had already been set up in the yard outside. After Wu Jianye finished lighting, he quickly fled the scene, opened the cotton curtain, and hid in the house.

Through the window, you can see the crackling firecrackers outside, and occasionally the sound of hitting the window, the little guy kept watching it with silly joy.

"It's time to eat dumplings!" At night, the little guy was coaxed to sleep by Zhu Zhuo, and it was time to eat dumplings again.

The family happily ate a dumpling, and this year has passed.

On the second day, there were fewer people on the street, obviously they were all hiding in the bed at home and hadn't gotten up yet.

Wu Jianye drove the car and started to give gifts in the four and nine cities again. He had no choice but to stay in Yanjing for a long time. He was going to fly to Xiangjiang in two days. Gong Xi's due date was coming soon. He has to be there.

Wu Jianye doesn't have much resistance to giving gifts, because everyone's relationship is very good. Unlike later generations, when the New Year comes, they will be bombarded by WeChat. Dozens or hundreds of people send Congratulations WeChat, at most a dozen, all copy and paste.

Technology has improved the development of human beings, but the distance between people has become farther.

Even when eating, everyone has a mobile phone. Although everyone sits and eats together, they chat with other people, and when they really sit with those people, they chat with current friends.

It's as if you don't know how to communicate without your mobile phone.

After three days of busy work in Yanjing, Wu Jianye drove to Shimen City Welfare Orphanage again!

The orphanage at this time has undergone significant changes from the past. The once precarious three-story building has become a brand new campus, with a campus for classes and a dormitory for orphans.

There were also more security guards at the gate, so when Wu Jianye came to the orphanage, he was stopped by the security guards at the gate.

"Hello, what do you do?" The security guard asked Wu Jianye politely.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Hi, I'm here to look for Dean Gu!"

"Okay, then please wait for a while, I'll call Dean Gu to confirm, by the way, may I ask your name!" the security guard asked dutifully.

"My name is Wu Jianye!" Wu Jianye laughed.

After hearing Wu Jianye's name, the security guard immediately showed a surprised smile: "So you are Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, please come in, please come in!"

Although the security guard just came to work in the orphanage, he also knew that the earth-shaking changes in this orphanage were due to the appearance of Wu Jianye, but he didn't expect Wu Jianye to come here just after the Chinese New Year. .

"It's okay, how's it going? It's hard work for you to stay here during the New Year's Eve!" Wu Jianye laughed.

"It's okay, we are from a nearby village. Dean Gu gave us a holiday in the evening, and he paid us double salary this month. It's too late to be happy!" The security guard said proudly.

He has reason to be proud. When he was in the village before, he could only support himself on his own one-third of an acre of land throughout the year.

But it’s different now. I came here to become a security guard. The children in the yard are all sensible and good children. When they saw me, they saluted and said thank you. They were very proud.

And the wages here are higher than those outside. The monthly salary of 80 yuan is higher than that of my cousin who works in the city. There are many people looking for such a good place.

It's just that the only thing that makes the security guards feel a little uncomfortable is that they often hear the crying of children outside in the middle of the night, and these crying sounds are the voices of those abandoned children.

As the reputation of the orphanage is getting better and better, some people who want to abandon their children also regard the orphanage as their first choice. Those who don't want to give birth to children will be sent to the orphanage.

So during this period, the orphanage received abandoned children almost every day.

The security guard opened the gate for Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye drove into the orphanage with his car and two large trucks behind. The place.

Wu Jianye also saw a few snowmen who were not good-looking but very familiar.

The big snow piles on the small snowdrifts and then a small snowball becomes a snowman. Some snowman's eyes are two small pieces of coal, and there are brooms standing upright as arms.

When Wu Jianye came to the orphanage, it was just after ten o'clock in the morning, and the children had already woken up. Many children were playing in the yard at this time.

Seeing the new clothes they were wearing and the innocent smiles on their faces, Wu Jianye felt very relieved.

This place is like a spiritual haven for Wu Jianye.

"Xiaoqing, come here!" Wu Jianye got off the car, squatted on the ground, and shouted at the children.

Xiaoqing was wearing a pink hat at this time, the kind that covered her ears, her little face was flushed from the cold, and she was wearing a new down jacket, with gloves in her hands, playing snowball fights with the children in the yard.

After seeing Wu Jianye, Xiaoqing showed a happy smile: "Big Brother!"

Wearing new cotton shoes, stepping on the snow, making a creaking sound, and ran over cheerfully.

Wu Jianye directly hugged Xiao Qing, and said with a smile, "You still know me!"

Xiaoqing said shyly: "Of course, the dean's father said that the elder brother is our great benefactor, so we must remember the elder brother!"

At this time, Dean Gu also came out. After seeing Wu Jianye, he was also very happy: "Mr. Wu, why are you here so early?"

At this time, Dean Gu is no longer as stooped as before. Although he still wears old clothes, his mental outlook is quite different.

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Isn't it Chinese New Year, come and give the children some gifts!"

After speaking, he pointed to the two trucks behind and asked the accompanying personnel to take the gifts on the trucks to the house.

Dean Gu quickly said: "Come here, don't bring gifts, there is everything here, and during the Chinese New Year, the people who manage the fund will prepare the children's food and clothing for the New Year."

Years ago, Wu Jianye had already ordered the people of Tianchi Fund to prepare all the things for the children to use for the New Year.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It's just a gift for everyone, to make the children happy!"

To be honest, there is really no shortage of food or clothing in the orphanage now, and food can be purchased nearby. Because of the existence of the orphanage, the farmer’s market around the orphanage is also booming. As for the children’s clothes, every day When the seasons change, Jinxiu Garment will send the children's clothes.

Let's put it this way, the food and clothing of the children in the orphanage is better than that of some children in the city.

If the children in the orphanage go out now, many children will definitely be envious.

Holding Xiaoqing in his arms, as Dean Gu came to his room, Dean Gu's house has not changed, it is still the same as before, according to the dean who takes care of him, he is used to living here.

Now Dean Gu no longer needs to worry about the lives of the children. In the management of the orphanage, there is also a professional management team brought by the Tianchi Fund. Dean Gu now plays more of a supervisory role. .

After Dean Gu thanked Wu Jianye again, the two started chatting.

Wu Jianye asked Dean Gu about the situation in the orphanage during this period.

"There is nothing better than now. Now children have heating in winter, fans in summer, and they can still study in class. There is nothing better than this." Dean Gu said with emotion.

Thinking back to two years ago, he had to work hard to get a bite of meat for his children during the Chinese New Year, and prayed from door to door. Now the children can eat meat every meal, and there are new clothes every season. He always feels that he is so More than a year was spent in a dream.

"Did anything happen in the city?" Wu Jianye asked.

When the orphanage had just been rebuilt, Wu Jianye had some problems with Shimen City, so he asked this question at this time.

Dean Gu smiled and said: "No, the leaders in the city are also very concerned about us. During the Chinese New Year, they even came here to take a look!"

Wu Jianye nodded. This is the same as the news I got. Although I had some conflicts with Shimen City because of the orphanage before, the achievements of the orphanage really fell on the heads of these leaders. , so they did not appear to settle accounts after the fall.

The two sides have always lived in peace.

However, what I saw in the report was different from what I heard from Dean Gu himself.

"Xiao Qing, I heard that you have started school, how are your grades?" Wu Jianye asked gently while hugging Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing had already gone to school last year, the first grade was in the school run by the orphanage.

Xiaoqing showed a proud look: "Every time I am the first in the class, every time Xiaopang says he wants to surpass me, he can't do it every time!"

"Haha, Xiaoqing is the best!" Wu Jianye laughed loudly.

In this life, Xiaoqing is destined to walk out of a different life path from the previous life.

Then Dean Gu rubbed his hands, and said to Wu Jianye with some embarrassment: "Mr. Wu, there is one more thing I want to tell you."

Wu Jianye asked, "Is there something wrong with those managers?"

Dean Gu quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no, it's actually like this." Having said that, Dean Gu glanced at Xiao Qing and said, "Xiao Qing, go out and play with the children, I will play with your big brother Say something."

"Oh." Xiaoqing nodded obediently.

Then Dean Gu told Wu Jianye that more and more people were sending their children here.

"As more and more children are sent in, many of them are just babies, the manpower to take care of the babies in our yard is a bit stretched, and some of the children are sent here because they are sick, so going to the hospital is another problem. Big expense, I worry."

Wu Jianye understood. It turned out that as the reputation of the orphanage became more and more famous, more and more children were sent in. Obviously, the expenses of the orphanage were getting higher and higher.

Nowadays, there are probably more than 300 children in the orphanage. Not counting the medical treatment, the normal monthly expenses are more than [-] yuan, and many of the children are sick because of their illness. Those who will be abandoned by their own parents, and it will cost another expense to revive these children.

So now the orphanage's monthly expenses have exceeded 70, and now a normal worker's monthly salary is only 100 to [-].

The most important thing is that as the reputation of the orphanage becomes more and more famous, more and more children will be sent in in the future, and the expenses will naturally increase. Dean Gu is worried that the Tianchi Fund will not be able to support it. live.

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Dean Gu, don't worry, the Tianchi Fund is very large, and they won't take this little money to heart."

Dean Gu said embarrassingly: "I always feel that this is not good. I have also discussed with them. If it doesn't work, let the older children go out to collect waste and so on. I can also subsidize the orphanage."

Wu Jianye quickly said: "President Gu, don't say that the people of Tianchi Fund can't agree to this matter, even if they agree, I can't agree to it. The children are still young. The most important thing is to learn knowledge and earn money." You don't have to worry about that."

Dean Gu sighed: "I really don't know how to thank you!"

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "If you say this, you will be out of touch!"

"There is another thing, that is, some sick children were sent here. After we helped cure the disease, their parents came to ask for their children again. This kind of thing has happened more than once. You say no Return the child to them, after all, they are the biological parents of the child, if their family conditions are really bad, we should help, but some families clearly "

Speaking of this, Dean Gu showed a trace of helplessness.

Wu Jianye also understood, this is because the orphanage has become bigger and some people want to fish in troubled waters.

"Are there many people like this?" Wu Jianye asked.

"It's not too many. It happened four or five times this year. By the way, there's only one more in these two days."
