C136 Bring the Children

"Let's go and see if Mrs. Dean needs help." Soong Yaoyao smiled and held Kang's hand, then walked outside.

At this time, Mrs. Dean was plucking chicken feathers in the yard. Some children were playing with them at the side.

"You guys tidy up these chicken feathers. When I have time in the future, I will make shuttlecock for you guys. When the time comes, I will get something. You guys can play shuttlecock. " Mrs. Dean wore her pair of glasses and pulled out the chicken feathers that had yet to be pulled out. She said to the children who were playing over there happily.

"Mrs. Dean, just buy a few shuttlecock. It is quite troublesome to make shuttlecock." Soong Yaoyao heard what Mrs. Dean said and felt that making shuttlecock should take a lot of time and effort. She remembered that when she was young, she also played with making shuttlecock, but now technology was so advanced. It would not cost much to buy one.

"Miss Soong, I'm letting you laugh!" When Mrs. Dean saw Soong Yaoyao coming over, an awkward expression appeared on her face. She slightly moved a stool for Soong Yaoyao to sit on.

"Mrs. Dean, I will do it myself!" Soong Yaoyao lightly smiled and then took a chair from the side. She sat down beside Mrs. Dean and looked at the chicken in Mrs. Dean's hand. But she did not see any other dishes and paused slightly.

"Director, there are other dishes. Do you need to pick them?" A trace of doubt surfaced in Soong Yaoyao's beautiful eyes as she looked at the Director with some hesitation.

"No... No more. I did not pick any dishes on the street yesterday. No... No... " The dean suddenly started to stutter. When he thought of the possibility of her coming back today, there was nothing good for her, so she killed a chicken that was laying eggs. Perhaps, he could treat her well and hope that she would not dislike it.

"Picking up vegetables?" When Soong Yaoyao heard the word picking vegetables, she was completely shocked. Could it be that the orphanage was so poor that they were going to pick vegetables?

"No, no... You heard it wrong, I mean... " The dean was a little anxious, but he could not say anything. Of course, she was also afraid that Soong Yaoyao would leave because of this.

It was not easy for someone here to be willing to help her take care of the child. She was deeply afraid that after she understood these things, she would be scared away.

"It's alright, dean. Then we will plant the vegetables ourselves in the future." Soong Yaoyao smiled. In the future, wouldn't it be fine if she planted the vegetables herself? Furthermore, the vegetables she planted were fresh. When she thought of planting the vegetables, Soong Yaoyao couldn't help but think of the grandpa at the market yesterday.

Perhaps in the future, she could ask the old man to deliver the vegetables here. Perhaps, she wouldn't have to work so hard every day.

"Yes, yes, but..." Mrs. Dean showed a trace of hesitation on her face again. This was the place where the vegetables could be planted. There were very few places where they could be planted almost bit by bit. Furthermore, they could be planted once. It was also not enough for these children to eat a few meals. Hence, most of the time, they still had to go to the market to pick up some vegetable leaves. Or if the merchants could not sell them, they would give them to eat.

"What's wrong?" Soong Yaoyao looked at Mrs. Dean's hesitant eyes and could not help but pause.

"Sister, there are very few places where we can plant vegetables here. Furthermore, Mrs. Dean raised a few chickens and said that they wanted to give birth to eggs. Boil them for us to eat and replenish our nutrition. So... There were even fewer places for this type of dish, and... We have a lot of children here."

Kang had been standing by Soong Yaoyao's side from the beginning and had not left. Seeing Mrs. Dean's troubled look, he could not help but speak up for Mrs. Dean.

"Oh, so that's the case! Then how about this! Mrs. Dean, I'm taking a few children to the market to buy vegetables. " Soong Yaoyao heard this and seemed to have come to a realization. She smiled slightly and slowly got up.

" Buy vegetables? Then... Then I'll give you money." Mrs. Dean's body slightly stiffened when she heard that they were buying vegetables. In the end, she also stood up, as if she was anxious to get the money.

"Mrs. Dean, don't worry! I have money on me."

"That won't do either. Even if you have money, it's still yours. How can I let you spend it? We are in an orphanage, and you can come here to help me. I am already very grateful, and we can't afford the salary. We'll feel a little guilty if you break the bill. "

Mrs. Dean nervously held Soong Yaoyao's hand and said excitedly with a face full of guilt.

"It's okay, Mrs. Dean. I bought it for the children to eat. Look at all of them, they are all pale and skinny. Don't you feel sorry for them? And I feel sorry for them? Don't worry, I don't lack that bit of money! " As Soong Yaoyao spoke, she gently caressed Kang's forehead. She smiled and comforted him.

"But..." The hospital director was still a little hesitant and there was a hidden look in his eyes.

"Okay, Mrs. Dean. I will bring some older children to the market to buy vegetables. Because I have to go to make up for the old documents in the afternoon."

"This... How can I let you spend money?" Tears flashed in Mrs. Dean's eyes as if she was very touched by Soong Yaoyao's words.

"It's okay. This amount of money is not much. I am also thinking about the children. Alright, Director, I will not say anymore. I will go and take care of the child. Bye bye!" Soong Yaoyao said. Before Mrs. Dean could say anything, she had already pulled Kang's hand and walked out.

The Director just stood there and stared blankly at that pretty figure. Was she the lucky star sent by the heavens? She hoped that good people could live a peaceful life.

Soong Yaoyao held Kang's hand and found two slightly older children. The four of them happily walked towards the market.

Kang, who stood beside Soong Yaoyao, was very good at talking. He chatted with Soong Yaoyao along the way. The other two girls did not say much. However, his small eyes looked around him with a sparkling appearance. It was as if they were curious about everything!

Soong Yaoyao gently smiled and held Kang's hand. Not long after, they arrived at the nearest market. Actually, the orphanage was not far from the market.

When they entered the market, Soong Yaoyao began to search for the figure of the old man who bought vegetables yesterday. Very soon, the figure of the old man appeared in Soong Yaoyao's sight.

She immediately held the children's hands and walked towards the old man. The old man was still as enthusiastic as yesterday. Many customers seemed to be deliberately visiting the old man!

Soong Yaoyao held Kang's hand and looked at the grandpa's wrinkled hands. He packed the customers' bags, weighed them, and then gave them money. His movements were a little slow and slow!

"Grandpa!" After she finally saw the last customer of the grandpa leave, Soong Yaoyao held Kang's hand and slowly walked towards the grandpa with the other two girls.

"Miss, it's you. What dishes do you want to order today?" When the grandpa saw Soong Yaoyao, he laughed happily.

"I want all of these." Seeing that there were almost no more dishes left, Soong Yaoyao smiled and wanted to take the money from her pocket again.

"Okay, I will wrap it up for you!" The grandpa took out a plastic bag and helped Soong Yaoyao wrap it up. The children also helped to pack the bag by the side.

"Here, grandpa!" Soong Yaoyao took out a 100 RMB note from her pocket and handed it to the grandpa.

"These dishes today are free. Miss, you gave me too much money yesterday!" The grandpa trembled as he held the bag, but he did not take the money from Soong Yaoyao.

"Grandpa, yesterday was yesterday, today was today. Take this money. In the future, I will have to trouble you to deliver the goods to us." Soong Yaoyao smiled lightly and forced herself to pass the money to the grandpa.

"In the future, I will deliver the goods to you. You just need to tell me the address. But I really can't accept the money for today's dishes." The grandpa still waved his hand as if his clothes were unwilling to receive money.

"Alright then! Grandpa, are you going to close the stall today?" Soong Yaoyao looked at the stall that no longer had any vegetables and asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's right! Business is good today and you guys are also here. Let me close the stall early!" The grandpa revealed a simple and honest smile and said happily.

"Er, how long do I have to buy it normally?" Soong Yaoyao paused for a moment. It was almost noon. Some of the vendors had already packed up and left. There were only some small farmers left. They were just buying groceries.

"Usually, you have to buy them in the afternoon. Sometimes, if you can't finish selling them, you can only bring them back." While packing his things, the grandpa explained to Soong Yaoyao.

"Uh, then what do you want to eat for lunch?" Soong Yaoyao slightly paused. For the sake of a little money, she sat on this cold stone slab for a day. She was afraid that no matter how healthy a person was, they would not be able to endure it!

"I brought some dry food over!" As the grandpa spoke, he stuffed the finished corn that he had made for breakfast into the lid. A trace of embarrassment appeared on his wrinkled face.

Soong Yaoyao naturally saw the dried food that had already been finished and a trace of pity surfaced in her eyes.

"Miss, thank you for today." The old man smiled honestly and then slowly stood up. His body swayed slightly as he stood up.

"It's alright. Where do you live, grandpa?" A trace of curiosity surfaced in Soong Yaoyao's eyes as she asked curiously.

"I live not far away. I usually rely on buying vegetables to make a living." The grandpa lightly smiled and then exercised his muscles and bones.

When the grandpa stood up, Soong Yaoyao realized that the grandpa's legs were a little inconvenient. Even when he stood up, his whole legs were slightly trembling.

"Miss, I'm sorry for making you laugh. This is my old problem. I don't need anything now. I just want my son to come back. I can live my old life peacefully, and I'm already satisfied. " When the grandpa saw Soong Yaoyao looking at his legs, he smiled slightly. Then, he walked not far away.

When Soong Yaoyao saw the limping grandpa, she couldn't help but chase after him.

"Grandpa, let's send you home!" Soong Yaoyao held the old man's hand and was about to take him home.

"Miss, my body is dirty. I'm afraid I will dirty your clothes." The old man slightly wanted to maintain the distance between him and Soong Yaoyao.
