Chapter 1660 Politely Declined 4
"Thank you, uncle and aunt. I'm not being polite. I'm speaking from the heart." Wang Zhao was afraid that they wouldn't believe him, so he quickly gave his reasons. "I once secretly listened to classes outside the school, and found that what I learned in class was not as good as what Mother Lin taught me privately. Moreover, many students were lazy and the teachers didn't teach very seriously, so I didn't want to go to school. In addition, I'm fifteen years old this year, and it's time for the army to recruit soldiers soon. Although I'm not old enough to be recruited, there is no age limit for the art troupe to recruit soldiers. I want to give it a try. If it doesn't work out, I'll find a job or go to the countryside next year."
After living in an orphanage for eight years and suffering from the cruelty of the world, Wang Zhao had already made his own life plan.
He knew very well that it was better to rely on himself than on anyone else.
However, he was very grateful that Lu Jiang remembered his deceased father's kindness and was willing to take care of him. A faint smile appeared on his handsome and gentle face, which was enough to make Feng Qingxue see the style of the young actor who appeared on the screen in the early 1980s and became popular all over the country.
He is a little childish now, but when he grows up, he will be elegant and handsome, tough or gentle, and is known as the versatile young man.
After listening to what Wang Zhao said, Lu Jiang and Feng Qingxue liked him even more. Even though they were willing to provide financial support, the other party still wanted to rely on them. This kind of mentality was particularly rare.
"Since you said so, your Uncle Lu and I respect your choice." Feng Qingxue said gently, "If you encounter difficulties in life, don't be polite to us. Comradeship is the deepest kind of emotion in the world. Your Uncle Lu and your father have not been in contact for fifteen years, and when we learned the news, they were already gone. If we don't care about you, how can we face your father in the future?"
Wang Zhao felt relieved and said softly, "Thank you, Auntie. I understand. I understand everything."
"Okay, then, let's go and see the boys in my family. You can be our guide so that we can all get to know the specific situation of the welfare home and let your brothers and sisters understand the hardships of life." Feng Qingxue did not forget the purpose of their trip.
Wang Zhao understood immediately and said, "Okay!"
The hardships of life are mainly reflected in the four aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. There is nothing much to say about transportation, and as for housing, there is nothing good to see. The buildings are still those built before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The people who were originally accommodated were war orphans. Of course, some of them were abandoned by their parents. There was no expansion after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
I had seen their clothing before dinner. It was not noticeable when they were all indoors, but when they came out, I could clearly see many children shivering in the cold wind. The more I saw it, the more uncomfortable it felt. It is difficult for people living in wealthy families to imagine the hardships of the lower class.
Xibao is better because she has a broad vision, while Fubao, Ye Yan and the triplets are all silent.
Even the naughty Er Xiong didn't dare to say a word. He reached out to tighten the scarf around his neck, touched the warm clothes on his body and the gloves tied with a woolen rope and hanging around his neck.
"We can't go on like this." Looking at the little child whose face turned red from the cold wind, Feng Qingxue whispered to Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang's face already had wrinkles that belonged to his age, and he became more mature and steady. He tilted his head and whispered, "I understand. I know you want to help the child with food and clothing. I'll think of a way."
Feng Qingxue nodded. There were still a lot of clothes, cotton, and food in the space, but it was not easy to take them out.
