Regarding Yu Sui's "absurdity", Sun Yuying scoffed: "I really don't know where you learned such words. I really admire you. If you lived with your mother-in-law, would you be able to do the same?"
Yu Sui spread her hands and said, "That's why I don't have a mother-in-law. After losing my mother, I still have you. Xia Chen, have you eaten? We are leaving."
Little Tangyuan has grown into a little boy with steady steps, fair skin, big eyes and a rosy mouth. He is really loved by everyone.
He is in kindergarten now, so he has to be called by his full name - Xia Chen.
The little guy heard his mother calling and quickly jumped off the chair to the ground: "It's ok, Mom, let's go. Men can't keep women waiting. Come on, I'll help you carry your bag."
Seeing that he was trying very hard to act like an adult, Yu Sui handed him her cloth bag full of books. "Well, I've been writing my thesis recently, so I borrowed a lot of books, probably more than ten pounds."
Little Tangyuan was dressed so chubby that he had to walk with his arms apart. This time, he was caught off guard. He hugged the book and shook it a few times, and finally fell to the ground.
Sun Yuying couldn't bear to watch it anymore and quickly came to help Tangyuan take away the pile of books: "Yu Sui, what are you doing? There are so many books, you are going to crush your son!"
Yu Sui looked at the little Tangyuan lying on the ground and trying hard to get up, and laughed: "He wanted to take it."
Sun Yuying was furious and hit Yu Sui: "You don't even act like a mother. How can he carry such a heavy baby? You came here and asked if you should have another child. Looking at you like this, you'd better not have another one!"
Yu Sui: "Hahaha, Mom, you're right. I won't give birth to a child. Just having little Tangyuan is enough for me."
Sun Yuying: "No matter what you say, you should still have another child. Little Tangyuan has no one to keep him company!"
"Lanlan and Guoguo aren't companions? Mom, you're so silly. We're talking about family planning now. Old Xia is a cadre and should set an example and take the lead in eugenics and raising children. We can't just give birth to children casually."
Sun Yuying couldn't accept this: "This is really ridiculous! How can we not give birth as we please? There are too few children at home. If this happens, I don't need to stay here anymore. I'm going back to my hometown."
"Mom, don't say that. If you think you don't have enough children, I'll go to the orphanage and get one someday."
Sun Yuying was furious: "You are talking nonsense! Why would you raise someone else's child? I don't want one!"
"Mom, the children in the orphanage are actually quite pitiful. You'll know if you go and see them more often. There are still many people in this world who need help and care from others. Okay, Mom, I really have to go. Oh, and Yu Cheng said he'll be back for dinner tonight."
Yu Sui said this and went out with Xiao Tangyuan.
Sun Yuying sighed, "Come back for dinner? It's more like coming back to annoy me. The older they get, the more annoying they become."
Yu Sui went out, sent Tangyuan to kindergarten, returned the books to the school library, and then rode her bike to the suburbs.
It was quite cold in January and the road was long.
But I haven't been there for a long time because I've been writing a thesis. The children will be looking forward to it.
Yu Sui didn't tell anyone that she has been providing long-term support to a children's welfare home in the suburbs for more than a decade.
This is a place she decided to sponsor after visiting many orphanages.
This place is quite remote and the children here are all slightly disabled. They basically need the help of caregivers to survive. Without funds, the children will have a very hard time. The government funding alone is only enough for the children to eat. If we want them to live better, we need help from outside.
However, this place is very remote. The director is an orphan himself and is too honest to seek help from the outside world. He can only live a hard life with the children.
When Yu Sui first came to this orphanage, the yard was a pile of weeds. The children who could walk were catching grasshoppers in the grass, while those who couldn't walk could only sit there stupidly. There were no caregivers to help, and the children were not very healthy.
The accommodation conditions are really terrible, extremely simple.
More than a dozen children lived in a large bunk bed, and nothing else.
After Yu Sui came, she repaired the house and leveled the ground for the orphanage, installed slides, swings and other facilities in the yard, and bought some equipment to help the children walk or move around. She also provided food and daily necessities every month and hired two people to help. Now, the lives of the children in the orphanage are much better.
Yu Sui rode for more than an hour before reaching Majiagou Children's Welfare Home.
A child saw her by the iron gate and quickly shouted inside: "Sister Yu is here, Dean Mom, Sister Yu is here!"
Soon, a middle-aged woman with a slight limp came out and opened the door while holding one leg to walk.
She had obviously had her cleft lip repaired, and her back was hunched, making her look rather shabby. But when she saw Yu Sui, she smiled happily: "You're finally here! Oh, the children have been looking forward to seeing you every day. I figured you were coming, so I saved a sweet potato for you. I'll roast it for you later!"
"That's great!" Yu Sui was as relaxed as if she were back home. After pushing her bicycle in, she went to greet the children: "Come here, everyone. I brought you some candied haws. One string for each of you. Don't worry!"
Like a magic trick, Yu Sui took out a bundle of straw from her pocket, on which were stuck a string of bright red candied haws, exactly the same as those sold outside.
The disabled children tried hard to walk towards Yu Sui from all directions. Some of them had to walk for a long time before they could reach Yu Sui. Yu Sui waited for them patiently. For the children who really had difficulty walking, the older ones would help them. This was the result of Yu Sui's frequent rewards for such behavior. Before, they would not do this and would just fight with each other.
Seeing that the children helped each other, lined up obediently, and maintained politeness and order, Yu Sui was very happy and distributed the gifts to them one by one.
When all the things were distributed, Yu Sui found that there was still a boy standing in front of her, looking up at her expectantly.
Yu Sui had never seen this child before.
His hairline is a bit low and his skin is very dark. Looking at his eyes, he should be at least three years old, but he looks very short and thin, like a big-headed doll.
Yu Sui squatted down and smiled at him: "Little boy, where are you from?"
A child who was familiar with Yu Sui answered for him: "Sister Yu, he didn't come all night. He's been here for three days!"
Yu Sui nodded: "Is that so, little friend, what's your name?"
"..." The big-headed doll didn't say anything. He lowered his head, bit his fingers, and his eyes looked timid.
Yu Sui waited for his answer, but found that although he was standing, he would tremble after a while, like intermittent cramps.
Yu Sui knew that this was another sick person.
She took out a candy from her pocket and said, "Little friend, I didn't know you were coming, so I bought one less bunch. But now I know, I'll bring you more next time. Let's have a candy today, okay?"
The big-headed doll neither nodded nor shook his head, but snatched Yu Sui's candy, ran away, and hid in the corner to eat it.
Yu Sui tidied her pockets and went to talk to the dean.
