Old Movies of the Republic of China(89)

Having multiple children is not just an extra meal. And this child is still classified as an orphan. What should I do? Who will take care of him after he is taken home? Lin Yutong is busy day and night, even Chang Sheng.

No. Is it called Fourth Master’s upbringing? Chang Sheng is his own child, and this is his responsibility. But the other children? Let’s forget it. Fourth Master himself has other things to do.

"Peony, come and eat." No matter what the plan was, the child must be fed first. The child's father's surname was Zhao, and her grandmother named the child Peony. Later, her grandmother died of illness, and the child followed his father's family.

Relatives have grown up. Those relatives are not close relatives, they are all a little farther away. They also have children to raise, and the burden of raising such a child must be getting bigger and bigger. Xingzi went to look for her, but they didn't say anything.

I just returned the child. But now, this child has been sent back all the way. I don’t care who cares? Huaizi or Yang Zi?

Mudan lowered her head and walked to the table. She finished a bowl of steamed noodles three times and five times divided by two. After eating and taking a shower, she couldn't wear the clothes she was wearing anymore. She took out Chang Sheng's clothes that were too small and called her first.

Minato was probably really tired, so he just lay down on the corner of the bed and fell asleep without anyone taking care of him.

Chang Sheng lay on the bed, looking at this and that, feeling somewhat uneasy, like a little beast that someone had invaded his territory.

Lin Yutong patted him and said, "Go to bed quickly. Mom and Dad will take care of it. It has nothing to do with you."

Chang Sheng turned over, not knowing whether he really fell asleep or pretended to sleep.

Fourth Master whispered: "There are two ways, one is to put it in a fellow villager's home for foster care, and the other is to put it in school."

Lin Yutong rolled his eyes. He knew that he would not choose to leave his child in a fellow villager's home, so he still advocated placing his child in school. Besides, the child had reached the appropriate age.

"It's not that we can't raise more children. The problem is that we don't have the time or energy." The fourth master put his hand on Lin Yutong's back, "You can feel it yourself. The ribs are one by one. In the next few years,

Your life is always like this. No matter how many doctors are added, you will never be free. In the beginning, you just wanted to save your life. Now, if there is a leg that must be amputated, and you don’t want to be disabled, you are still thinking of a way.

Send them to you. Besides, the battle lines are getting longer and longer, and multiple battlefields are being fought at the same time, which means a steady stream of wounded soldiers of all kinds. You will only be busier than now. As for me, I estimate that half of it will be done in a year in the future.

My time is spent at the arsenal. I can take care of Chang Sheng, but how can I take care of the little girl?"

"Can Baoyu Yuan still be admitted?" Lin Yutong frowned. In fact, Baoyuyuan is the best choice. In addition to the chief's children, there are also high-level orphans of martyrs. For example, Mudan, without Fourth Master and Lin Yutong,

She definitely can't get in. Many generals are fighting outside, and their children are in Baoyuyuan. After entering, you don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. The clothes are donated by some foreign funds, and the food is basically from the border areas.

The supply is the best. Milk is not available in other places, but Baoyuyuan has it. Every day we eat meat and vegetables. The teachers are also serious and responsible. An An has been there before, and such a small child has to take care of eating, drinking and diarrhea.

At that time, people had to take care of them when they grew up. There was no reason why a sensible child like Mudan couldn't adapt. When she first met this child, she had this idea in her mind. If it didn't work, she would send him to study for two years.

After two years, it is estimated that Yang Zi will take over and the past two years will pass.

Regardless of whether we can get in or not, we have to find a way to send him in. This is the best arrangement for this child that I can think of now.

The two of them had made a decision, but that didn't mean they could just send her away. She still had to get used to the family for two days, and it was as if she was in a hurry to get her out of the house.

In fact, the child is also pitiful. He grew up with those relatives and was probably beaten or scolded. The child still had some old injuries. When he got up the next day, Lin Yutong asked Aunt Cui to make two new clothes for the child. Then he heard someone outside.

There was a noise. She opened the curtain and went out, and saw Mudan walking this way alone holding firewood. The guard at the door motioned her to put it down and stop working. She was so frightened that she froze there holding the firewood. Lin Yutong quickly went out to collect the firewood.

"To Auntie. Why don't you go to bed early? The uncles will do all this work, so you don't have to worry about it."

Mudan lowered her head and rubbed her clothes, her face flushed. Lin Yutong raised his hand and touched her hair, "But we Mudan are really sensible, let's go! Auntie will comb your hair."

Wearing pigtails and a thick cotton-padded jacket, even if it is old, it is 80% new. The child's eyes were shining, and he touched the clothes carefully from time to time. Chang Sheng took out one of his schoolbags and gave it to her: "This is

Here you go, have you gone to school?"

Peony shook her head and took the schoolbag as if she cherished it.

"Then after dinner, you come with me to school." Chang Sheng rolled his eyes and pulled her to eat.

Lin Yutong didn't care about them, it was easier for the children to get to know each other.

The school Chang Sheng went to was different from the boarding school. He went to school with the Boy Scouts, half a day of school and half a day of military training. And he only went there occasionally.

Lin Yutong ate in a few mouthfuls and was about to go to the hospital. Before he could go out, An An called Chang Sheng at the door. Chang Sheng took two steamed buns and stuffed them into his schoolbag, then pulled Mudan and said, "Hurry up, I'll be late in a while."

."

Lin Yutong stood at the door, watching Chang Sheng wink at An An and wonder what kind of riddle he was playing. She hurried forward a few steps worriedly, and vaguely heard Chang Sheng say: "I'm so unlucky. I run to school every day. If

Just live on campus.”

An An answered: "Live in school? Baoyuyuan is a place where anyone can go? What you think is wonderful. I heard that there are milk and eggs every morning and meat and thin noodles for every meal. Do you want to go?

, I still want to go?”

Chang Sheng sighed, "A family can only send one, and I don't know whether my mother will send me or my sister."

An An glanced at Chang Sheng sympathetically: "Who told you to be so unlucky? Your sister came earlier and later, but she came at this time."

Mudan was a little uneasy and looked at Chang Sheng carefully: "Brother, go, I won't go to school."

Chang Sheng shook his head: "My mother...forget it, my mother will definitely give the good things to you. Forget it, who calls you my sister?"

Lin Yutong didn't hear what she said clearly. But she was really dumbfounded at the moment. This kid's mentality is to coax that stupid kid to live in a grateful school. There are delicious food and new clothes every day.

Wearing clothes is a fatal temptation for such a big child. Other children still want to live with their parents, but for Mudan, she basically has no experience of living with her parents. She can eat well and wear warm clothes.

, no need to be beaten or scolded, no need for charity from others, this is probably a good life. In Baoyuyuan, although she has the reputation of Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, her parents are indeed martyrs. Children of martyrs do not need anyone to raise them.

There is a lot of special care, and the border district government will support her. She will be fed and clothed without relying on others. In fact, this is really beneficial to the child's growth.

It would be great if he went to school without any complaints in his heart. Lin Yutong originally thought of sending him to school for a week to adapt, and if it didn't work, he would bring him back and find another way. Unexpectedly, he asked Chang Sheng to do it

solved.

When I came back from work that day, I saw that both children were at home. Mudan and Chang Sheng were no longer so awkward in getting along. But looking at the two of them lying on the kang, they seemed very tired.

Lin Yutong asked Fourth Master in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Fourth Master glanced at Chang Sheng: "I took Peony to the military training. I didn't come back for lunch and trained for a long time."

Well, this is not going to be tiring. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Chang Sheng's voice coming from inside: "If you can't stand it, I'll ask my mother to send you to Baoyuan. At the end of the month, my name will be Bai Bai."

Uncle Yuan will pick you up."

"I'm going, what are you going to do?" Mudan muttered in a low voice.

"I'll send you there first, and I'll find a way to go there later." Chang Sheng vowed, "If you don't want to stay there anymore, and if you feel bad, you can come back."

"Can you really ask me to go?" Mudan sat up and asked, "Can aunt and uncle agree?"

"My father and mother have wanted a girl for a long time. I wonder why you haven't had time yet. If you want to go, I must ask you to go first." Chang Sheng curled up the corner of his mouth in a vague way and said no more.

Lin Yutong frowned. It was definitely wrong for Chang Sheng to be so careful, but this child's temperament... she couldn't say whether it was good or bad.

In the following days, Lin Yutong and Fourth Master seemed to have forgotten to send Mudan away, and no one mentioned it. Aunt Cui also prepared new clothes and schoolbags for Mudan, and Lin Yutong made them for her with red silk.

A bunch of assorted head flowers.

Five days later, Lin Yutong came back early in the evening, just in time to make dinner. Mudan was helping to watch the fire in front of the stove, secretly looking at Lin Yutong from time to time, "Auntie, when should I go to school?"

"Is your cousin's school not good?" Lin Yutong teased.

"My cousin said I can go to Baoyuyuan." Mudan raised her head and looked at Lin Yutong carefully, "Can I go? Auntie."

Lin Yutong smiled and continued busy with the work at hand, "Baoyuyuan is a bit far away from our current home. If we can't take care of it, we may not have time to pick you back in a month. Can you get used to it alone?"

"Yes! I can definitely do it." Mudan stood up immediately, "I can definitely get used to it. Auntie will pick me up whenever she is free, and I will definitely be obedient."

"Then I'll take you there tomorrow." Lin Yutong smiled, "If I can't take care of picking you up in the future, don't worry. I regularly ask people to deliver things to you. If you want anything, you can also write to your aunt.

.If you don’t know how to write, you can ask the teacher to write it for you.”

Thinking of all the instructions and instructions, he finally asked Bai Yuan to send her there, and also gave the hospital's phone number to the teacher at Baoyu Home, so that he could call her back in case the child didn't adapt.

Chang Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh! I finally sent the girl Pianzi away." Then he took Lin Yutong's clothes and whispered in a low voice: "If she doesn't go to Bao Yuyuan and lets me go, maybe I will really die.

I can’t bear to send her away.”

It's just a child. It's instinct to like good things. This doesn't mean anything. But Chang Sheng's temperament is really a bit thief. Lin Yutong taught him: "Don't always think about testing others. If you lose your sincerity first, you can't

Blame others.”

Chang Sheng then drooped his face and stopped talking. After a long time, he said: "I don't like my aunt. Who knows if Mudan will be the same as my aunt."

So you were on guard from the beginning?

That night, Fourth Master called Chang Sheng to the study room. Judging from the droopy corners of this naughty boy's mouth, he didn't do well either. Fourth Master was the kind of person who would watch him jump around and wait until he was done, then we would take care of things.

.

Life was so busy that Bai Yuan was sent to pick up Mudan twice, but he did not come back. The child was very active and helped the teacher to take care of the younger children at school, so he refused to come back. Lin Yutong is a child with very progressive ideas.

I was worried, so I called him specifically, but the teacher could only praise him, saying that he helped prepare meals every time he had meals, helped wash dishes and sweep, and took the initiative to live in the dormitory of younger children to help take care of them. Now they are all

He has become the captain of the squad. What can Lin Yutong say in this situation? With a few polite words, this is all he can do. Judging from the current situation, as long as this child takes advantage of his ideological progress and is an orphan of a martyr, he will definitely be successful in the future.

You cannot afford to suffer. Over a long period of time, the progress of your thoughts is an important criterion for judging a person.

This year passed in such a busy atmosphere. Just after the New Year, the Fourth Master was frequently called to meetings. Lin Yutong thought it was another military matter, but he found out when he had time to talk to the Fourth Master about it.

, all talking about economic issues. Prices in the Kuomintang-controlled areas increased two to three times in one month. "...Many military officers participated in gold speculation and borrowed money from banks to follow suit. The price of gold soared to 8.5 million."

The prices then went up like crazy.”

Everyone is doing it for me. As long as there are profitable things, they will swarm up. Lin Yutong made a calculation by himself. If he borrowed 1 million from the bank, he bought all the gold, and then sold it after the price of gold rose.

One-eighth, this part is enough to be worth the bank loan. The remaining seven-eighths are earned for nothing. That’s what the white wolf said. And this earned is nothing.

Paper money, but real gold. It is said that the central bank's vaults are empty. This is how the public sector is enriched and the private sector is enriched. In addition, those who have the means are trying to find ways to send their families to immigrate to the United States. A large amount of gold has been
