Chapter 18 May You Be Treated With Tenderness
The orphanage is not big. Apart from an old building, the only thing left is a playground paved with asphalt road.
There were many people on the playground, and several children around seven or eight years old looked towards them.
"Mother Luo!" A little girl ran over and threw herself into Mother Luo's arms.
"Good girl, Niuniu, can you, my little sister and my brother, play with you today?" Mother Luo stroked the girl's hair with a very gentle look in her eyes.
"Okay." After she walked towards Zhou Yiyang, Zhou Yiyang saw the child clearly.
It's a harelip.
Su Yin had already squatted down. She took out a lollipop and handed it to the little girl: "Little sister, do you like strawberry or orange flavor?"
"Sister, your white hair is so beautiful!" the little girl excitedly took the lollipop.
Zhou Yiyang felt someone tugging at his clothes. He turned around and found a little boy biting his clothes with his mouth, making whining sounds from time to time.
"Xiao Hei, what are you doing! This little brother is here to play with you!" After Luo's mother saw it, she rushed forward.
"It's okay," Zhou Yiyang stopped Mother Luo, and he took off his coat directly: "Do you like it?"
Xiao Hei relaxed his mouth and raised his head, but his big eyes were dull and dull.
"Xiao Zhou," Luo's mother was a little pleased. She actually found a lot of volunteers, but after many people came, they retreated when they saw the children here. There are actually very few like Zhou Yiyang and others. "
These children are more or less different from ordinary children, so I’m going to trouble you today.”
"It's okay," Zhou Yiyang slowly squatted down. He was afraid that Xiao Hei would be scared away by him: "An angel is still an angel even if his wings are broken."
The moment Lin Xuan'er saw these children, she was in a trance for a moment.
Some children here have flaws on their faces and look a little ugly at first glance.
Some children were not smart enough and looked at her blankly, with snot falling into their mouths.
There are also children who are born with disabilities. They hide in the dark and are not even willing to go near the playground.
She originally wanted to teach everyone how to sing and dance as soon as she came, but she backed down. When she saw Su Yin's nonchalant movements, she felt even more ashamed.
Until a small hand grabbed her.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!" He was a little boy with a sallow face and thin muscles. His limbs seemed to have shrunk and were frighteningly thin. He was not good-looking, but his eyes were shining.
"Little brother, you are very handsome too!" Lin Xuan'er turned her head, not wanting the little boy to see the tears in the corners of her eyes.
She came here to bring them happiness.
"Can my sister teach you how to sing?"
Tang Yue took out his toy, and gradually some bold children came closer.
"If you want it, come over if you want it." Tang Yue sat on the ground, his smile still so sweet.
She knew about the situation in this orphanage before she came, so she was not surprised when she saw the children here.
Every child deserves to be cared for.
Wang Xingrui and Tang Yue handed out toys together. Like Lin Xuan'er, her first reaction was fear, and then she felt deeply guilty.
What she feels guilty about is that even though there are so many people who are not living well, she often feels sorry for herself and thinks that God is unfair.
Although these children are pitiful, many of them also yearn for the bright future. They are optimistic, cheerful, and can accept strange looks calmly.
Just like the little girl playing with Su Yin, she clearly saw the expressions of Lin Xuan'er and Wang Xingrui, but she didn't feel ashamed.
This kind of power makes Wang Xingrui ashamed.
"Children," Lin Xuan'er clapped her hands, she had regained her composure: "Sisters, can you teach you how to sing?"
"good!"
The children answered in unison. Children's feelings are very keen. After they noticed the kindness of the other party, they relaxed a lot.
Mother Luo watched from the side and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Why don't you go over?" Zhou Yiyang still sat next to Xiao Hei.
He is a very observant person, and Xiao Hei seems to be unable to play with other children in the orphanage.
He is very sensitive.
When Zhou Yiyang tried to get closer to him, Xiao Hei had already moved away in advance.
The girl group on the other side started singing children's songs, but he didn't care at all. He seemed to be staring at Zhou Yiyang, but he seemed to be in his own world.
"This child has autism and is very aggressive." Mother Luo came over and said, "It's amazing that he can sit with you calmly. The first day he came here, my arm was bitten and bleeding.
.”
"You just let him bite you?" Zhou Yiyang found that Xiao Hei didn't listen to them at all. He was immersed in his own world.
"Yes," Luo's mother smiled nonchalantly: "If I shrink back, then in his eyes, I will be the same as the parents who abandoned him! The children here are very sensitive. They are afraid of getting hurt again.
.”
This second word made Zhou Yiyang feel very uncomfortable. "Dean Luo, you are really a great person."
"I am just an ordinary person," Dean Luo said frankly: "I was widowed in my early years and I am infertile, so they are my children! Oh, Xiaohei!"
In an instant, Xiao Hei had bitten Zhou Yiyang's wrist.
"Dean Luo, I'm fine." Zhou Yiyang said softly: "His bite doesn't hurt, I have thick skin. Dean Luo, do you have a harmonica here?"
"Yes, they were donated by others before. I'll find them for you."
Behind him, four girls were humming childish songs and jumping up and down. The children, who were not even pretty, were dancing happily.
The sun shone on the girls' faces, making their smiles shine from the bottom of their hearts.
"Xiao Hei, those who hurt you are no longer here. If you work harder and take another step forward, you can see the light."
Mother Luo brought the harmonica with her when she came back.
This is the only musical instrument that Zhou Yiyang knows, among other things.
Xiao Hei had already let go of Zhou Yiyang's hand, and the deep tooth marks on it seemed to be his approval.
At least he is now willing to stay by Zhou Yiyang's side.
The wind has picked up, and the breeze has picked up the leaves, and the melodious sound of the harmonica has echoed in the playground.
The dancing girl group stopped their movements. Like the children, they were looking for the source of the sound.
Under the shade of the tree, the sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and was cut into mottled light and shadow, falling on Zhou Yiyang's shoulders.
He closed his eyes and played the harmonica, and the breeze blew away the sweat on his hair.
Xiao Hei calmed down and fell asleep leaning against Zhou Yiyang like a cat.
The four girls had never seen Zhou Yiyang like this before. They couldn't even believe that this was the Zhou Yiyang who was showing off in front of them every day.
In the distance, a girl with an afro rushed over: "Mother Luo, where's Xiao Hei!"
"Shh." The children said at the same time, no one wanted to disturb Zhou Yiyang's performance.
