There are two old jujube trees in the backyard of the orphanage, although compared with the ginkgo trees with twisted branches and vigorous branches in the front yard, they are extraordinarily skinny.However, those two old jujube trees were obviously more popular with the children in the orphanage.

Every year when autumn is crisp and sweet osmanthus is fragrant, the children in the orphanage look at the green and red on the two old jujube trees.

If the bleak autumn wind hits the first night, and early the next morning, the first thing the greedy children in the orphanage wake up in the morning must go to the jujube tree to pick up the shriveled jujubes blown down by the autumn wind, wipe them They stuffed it directly into their mouths without wiping it off. Although it was still a little bit astringent, it seemed to be sweet enough to reach their hearts at that moment.

Those two old jujube trees are the treasures of the children in the orphanage. Even the most naughty children just pick up a few shriveled green dates that have been knocked down by the autumn rain, and most of the time they yell and drive away the branches under the old jujube trees. The sparrows on their heads snatching snacks from them.

It wasn't until the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, when the jujubes turned red, that the older children in the yard would take the bamboo poles and beat down all the jujubes on them without falling.The young one screamed when he was smashed under the jujube tree, while laughing and picking up the jujube that had rolled into the weeds.At night, every child stuffed a bag of jujubes in his pocket.The children in the orphanage will live, and they can eat them for a month with just this small jujube in their pockets. [

Zhao Weihong, the child king, is so charming that the children are willing to let Zhao Weihong play dates with them.

When Zhao Weihong took Ya'er to the backyard, the children had already divided the work, crackling, it seemed like a jujube rain under the cheers of the children.

"Sister, I invite you to eat jujubes!" The thin, dark-faced little monkey stuffed two handfuls of jujubes into the hands of Zhao Weihong and Ya'er, fulfilling the friendship of a landlord.

Ya'er stuffed one directly into his mouth, and it was still a bit astringent, crisp and sweet in his memory.And under the jujube tree, those joyful and immature faces who were busy picking up the dates, the memories that Ya'er thought should have been vague seemed to gradually become clearer.

"The jujube is so small, can it be sweet? Don't be full of jujube pits inside!" Zhao Weihong looked at the few small jujubes in his hand, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, just like the Hetian jujube that Xuanjin gave her last time Comparing, I can't help but beat drums in my heart.

"Don't worry, it's sweet and sour, it has a special flavor!" Ya'er's knots in her heart have just been untied, and although her face is still pale under the breezy autumn sun, the relief and tranquility in her smile make her delicate almost appear. The dusty and ethereal appearance became round and vivid.

"That's right, Sister Zhao, you are not as good as this beautiful sister! We only have the sweet and sour jujube!" The little monkey pouted, "The old director said, this is called concentrated essence! "

"Yes!" Zhao Weihong took a look at the little monkey's lean and lean physique, "What is concentrated is the essence!"

The little monkey is already in the second grade of elementary school, usually ghosts and ghosts are the best at reading people's faces, of course he knew that Zhao Weihong was deliberately making fun of him, he muttered something in his mouth, but he didn't refute it aloud, the old headmaster said, The latest chapter of The Prime Minister's Stomach Can Punt the Peach Luck Mad Doctor!

On the contrary, the little monkey tugged at the corners of Zhao Weihong and Ya'er's clothes, dragged them into a corner, and asked mysteriously, "Sister Zhao, and sister Du, are you really here to help Xiao Chen and Da Mao?" "Xiao Mao, did they treat the disease?"

"What?" Zhao Weihong was puzzled. Director Wang and the others are all expert doctors, and even Xuanjin is skilled in medicine, so there are fakes!

Ya'er looked at the expectant and nervous little monkey, and she knew it.The children in the orphanage are sensitive and precocious, and there are many caring people in the society, but there are not many who can carry the love like the old director and insist on passing it on.

The one or two visits and financial support from caring people are just a drop in the bucket for the children in the orphanage who need long-term attention. While giving them hope, it is more disappointing!

"There used to be uncles and aunts who came to visit us, saying that they would treat Da Mao's illnesses and let the children in the orphanage go to school. As a result, as a result..." Adults love talking!The little monkey was vague and didn't make it clear. The old director said that they should know how to be grateful, they should learn to be self-reliant, and they can take care of their friends who are not in good health!

The outspoken Zhao Weihong showed a blunt and guilty expression for the first time, the skin that had to be dealt with in the adult world was exposed under the amazingly bright eyes of the little monkey who seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

Ya'er bent down, "touched" the little monkey's head, "Little monkey, you have to tell everyone that you are not afraid of taking "medicine" and injections when you are sick, and my sister promises that you will come here every week in the future!"

"And me, Sister Zhao will come here often!" Zhao Weihong hurriedly raised her hand to sign up without waiting for the little monkey to speak.With Xuanjin around, Zhao Weihong would have confidence, otherwise, Zhao Weihong was really worried that she would have the strength.

"Really?" If you don't feel well in the future, don't you have to be afraid that the old director won't dare to talk to the nurse's aunt because he has no money?The little monkey yelped in surprise when he came back to his senses, and then quickly covered his open mouth with dazzling eyes!

"Really! Let's pull the hook!" Both Ya'er and Zhao Weihong stretched out their hands and stamped the little monkey's rough hands. [

Two big and one small hold hands together, Ya'er looks up at the bright autumn sun, the air is mixed with the sweet and greasy aroma of jujube trees, and the meaty smell of braised pork coming from the small cafeteria, at this moment, It seems to be able to warm people's hearts.

When the smell of meat wafted out, a group of children, big and small, had already been yelling at the entrance of the cafeteria.Although there is only a large pot of braised pork with bright color and thick oily red sauce, and a pot of refreshing and delicious cabbage stewed tofu, that pot of braised pork is enough to satisfy the group of children.

The rice over there was not out of the pot, and each of them sat down on their seats obediently holding their own small rice bowls.

The gluttonous boy sucked his nose, looked at the spoon in Old Uncle Wang's hand and licked his tongue greedily.A few timid little girls held their small rice bowls timidly, for fear that any older skinny boy would snatch the meat in their bowls.

Even the little dolls who were still babbling were babbling and crawling towards the old man Wang who was holding the rice spoon.Several nurses and aunts in the orphanage were busy with surgery, and the oldest children hurriedly put down their jobs and helped hug those little meat balls.

Director Wang and the others, who were sitting on the floor with the children in the only classroom with a wooden floor, suddenly felt a little sour in their eyes. They shouldn't have stayed to eat this meal with the children!

Seeing this, the vice president stood up and clapped his hands, and the room suddenly fell silent, "Children, the meat for lunch today and the chicken for dinner are all bought by uncles, what should you say? "

"Thank you uncles and uncles!" Dozens of children of different heights, the smiles on their faces are no longer wanton and innocent, timid, with a little flattery, a little flattery, as if carved out exactly the same.

Ya'er frowned, this kind of smile made Ya'er's heart ache, even Director Wang and the others suddenly seemed to lose all appetite when they saw the food that Old Man Wang had prepared for them at this moment, and the only thing shaking in front of them was the child The latest chapter of our timid face of evolution in the last days.

The only thing that comforts Director Wang and the others is that the braised pork is more attractive to children, and it is unlikely that all the seeds will be put in the rice bowl.

This lunch, the whole group more or less had a taste of food, but the children ate deliciously and sweetly.

The auntie of the nurse hadn't fed the youngest ones yet, but the skinny boys who ate the happiest just now rubbed their stomachs and screamed, they were full!

The old dean took a step ahead of the deputy dean, criticized the brats with a smile, and then quickly waved them to the yard to eat.The deputy dean put down the bowls and chopsticks, and explained to Director Wang and the others in embarrassment, "The food in the orphanage is usually light, and the children didn't stop talking for a while, which made everyone laugh!"

Everyone laughed, not knowing how to answer this sentence!

Everyone who ate this lunch had mixed feelings!

After lunch, the overfed children finally ate the digestive tablets that Ya'er secretly gave them, and their stomachs were not so full, so they went back to the dormitory for a lunch break with their stomachs full.

Because Zhao Weihong was carrying a small bun in her stomach, and her maternal "nature" was in full bloom, it was rare for a person who is usually the most carefree to be sentimental, and the meal just now was not very enjoyable.

"Xuanjin, one child is adopted, and two children are also adopted. You said how about adopting another child after I give birth? Anyway, the family planning is implemented now, and only one child can be born. Adopting another child can be a companion for the child! When Zhao Weihong said this, she had just tucked in the quilt for Xiao Chen who kicked the quilt, and came out of the children's dormitory.

The quilt is very thin, the bed sheets are very old, and several dormitories are full of big bunks. Opposite a row of small heads and feet, there is a row of small old wooden boxes that are polished, with each child's name on it. all of a child.What Zhao Weihong saw and heard today can't compare to how moved she was when she saw Xiaochen treat the wooden box with care.

As for Ya'er, since entering the children's dormitory just now, she didn't do anything, she just sat down on the bunk where Xiaochen fell asleep.Coincidentally, in the previous life, Du Xuanjin lived on the same bunk, which was exposed to the sun in the morning, for more than ten years. The box was still tied with the unthreaded red silk cloth, but, It was no longer Du Xuanjin's name pasted on it.

No one knows better than Ya'er that this land of less than two square inches is the safest harbor for children in the orphanage!

Coming out of the dormitory, just as she was about to hear Zhao Weihong's words, Ya'er subconsciously glanced back, seeing the comfort of the children sleeping, she said in a low voice, "Sister Weihong, please don't say the word "adopt" so easily in the future." , even if you really want to, don't say it easily!" [

In the previous life, Du Xuanjin saw that children in the orphanage were adopted many times by caring people, but in the end they were sent back to the orphanage again and again.Those so-called conscientious people will not know how much harm it is to easily give up on the sensitive children who grew up in the orphanage!

ah?It was the first time Zhao Weihong saw Du Xuanjin who spoke so harshly. Even though Ya'er's voice was very low and gentle when she spoke just now, Zhao Weihong knew very well in her heart that Ya'er was serious when she said this!

"I know!" Zhao Weihong was so frightened that she hastened to assure her, and she also knew that what she said just now had a heart, which would be a kind of harm to these children who yearn for family warmth!

Ya'er also realized that even though her heart knot had been resolved, she was still too weak, so she couldn't help but smiled wryly, "Sorry, Miss Wei Hong, my tone was bad just now!"

"No, it's okay!" Zhao Weihong was thinking about it, and was taken aback by Ya'er's surprise.No matter how thick the nerve line is usually, I still realize that something is wrong with Ya'er today, especially when facing the problems of those children.

Zhao Weihong did not forget that just now Xuanjin directly questioned the vice president, why did she directly use the child to win everyone's sympathy?When Zhao Weihong still remembered, she was absolutely terrified at that time, you know, Xuanjin had never slapped people in the face with words like this.In the end, it was the old dean who solved the problem!

So, coming from the dormitory in the backyard, Zhao Weihong saw that the front yard suddenly had a touch of military uniform green, heaved a sigh of relief, and directly gave Ya'er to Di Yaohui who didn't know how to pick someone up here.
