Chapter 25 Wei Nan
After entering the Salesian Bureau, I realized that the place was not as gloomy as I imagined. Instead, it was full of laughter and laughter. The children were in groups, kicking shuttlecocks and turning flower ropes together. Qi Qi gathered around and looked at them curiously.

Xue Shu blinked, but she didn't see a person in charge after looking around, so she could only look at the head child: "We heard that there is a Salesian Bureau here, so we came to take a look, and it's going to be winter soon. Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"

Although the boy was thin, he was tall, and Xue Shu would look up at him. More importantly, there was neither curiosity nor fear in his eyes, he was just looking at them lightly.

However, as soon as Xue Shu's words fell, the children suddenly dispersed and looked at them warily.

They have never been cared about here, and no one wants to care about their lives. Today, a pair of brothers and sisters suddenly came to leave some money for them, which is already abnormal. They just left, and now another pair came.

Grandpa Wei said that when things go wrong, there must be demons, and you must be vigilant against outsiders.

"This..." Xue Shu and Qin Xiang looked at each other, but they really couldn't understand the situation.

"What are you afraid of? My sister is so good-looking, can she be a bad person?" Qin Xiang flicked his hair, his whole body was heroic, "Who is in charge here? Come to my sister to get the money!"

The children looked at each other in blank dismay, then shrank back again.

Qin Xiang simply found a clean place and sat down, looking as if he was going to fight them to the death.

Xue Shu helped her forehead, she almost didn't know whether they were here to send money or to rob.

After a while, the leading boy came forward hesitantly: "Sir is in the house, I'll take you there..."

gentlemen?

This place is so poor that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, how can there be a teacher?

The two looked at each other, suppressed their doubts, and followed the boy to the left wing.

Pushing open the door, I saw a desk and several overcrowded bookshelves in the room, a small table and two chairs by the window, and a screen in the corner, and nothing else. The display is up.

Although simple, but very clean, there is no bad smell in the air.

Sitting behind the desk was a thin old man, wearing a robe so patched that his own color could no longer be seen, he was writing something tremblingly with a brush in his hand.

"Grandpa Wei, these two girls are also here to donate money to us." The young man's tone was mature, even when he was around his closest people, he still didn't have the vivaciousness that a young man should have.

The old man nodded and wrote the last stroke on the paper, then turned his head to look at the two well-dressed girls in front of him: "Little old Wei Nan, I have seen two nobles, the houses are simple and simple, if the nobles don't mind, you can sit down for a while Bar."

According to Wei Nan's experience, noblemen, the eyes are all on the top of the head, how many of them are not domineering?

The couple who had just arrived threw him a bag of silver as if they were beggars, and then hurried away as if they were hiding something dirty.

Even though he was so disgusted, Wei Nan had to be grateful to him, and sent him to the door with gratitude.

No way, what's the use of dignity?It is money that can neither feed and warm the children outside, nor allow them to survive the coming severe winter safely.

Now that it is real, it doesn't matter if the dignity is not dignified. If the nobleman wants to step on it, he will send it up for others to step on, so as to make them happy, and maybe they will be remembered when they look back.

Wei Nan bowed slightly, she was already prepared to be ridiculed by the nobleman, but she didn't want the two little girls to just nod, then moved to the window, sat down on the creaking chair, and took another I passed two glasses of water from the old man.

This window was facing the yard, and as they left, the children in the yard started to move again, playing and laughing, as if nothing had happened.

"The nobles are laughing. In this place, there will be no tomorrow after today. They can be happy for a while." Wei Nan stood on the side with his hands in his hands and bowed his body. Say something, tell them to live in peace for a while."

"No need!" Qin Xiang waved his hand, put the silver on the table casually, and turned it out through the window, "Can you know how to kick shuttlecocks! Come on, my sister will teach you, watch it!"

Qin Xiang was going to go shopping today, so naturally he had more silver on him, and he slammed it on the table with a "boom", which made Wei Nan's heart tremble.

"She has such a temperament, sir." Xue Shu shook her head helplessly, took off her purse, and handed Qin Xiang's to Wei Nan together.

"Hey... hey!" Wei Nan hurriedly stepped forward to take the purse, turned around and wiped away tears and went back to the table, put the money properly, and returned the purse, "This is a nobleman's personal belongings, please give me your money." Put it away carefully."

Xue Shu nodded, and put her purse into her sleeve: "It's good to do my best to help my husband and these children."

Wei Nan hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said: "What is the nobleman talking about, the nobleman is so generous, this money is enough for them to spend the winter well!"

"I grew up in the capital, but this is the first time I know the existence of the Salesian Bureau. It really shouldn't be," Xue Shu sighed, "I'm taking the liberty of saying this, but I wonder if I can see where these children live?"

Wei Nan was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said yes, bowed and led the way.

The Salesian Bureau is a two-entry yard. According to Wei Nan, the front yard is full of able-bodied children. As for the backyard—it's not suitable for a girl like Xue Shu to visit.

After turning around in a circle, Xue Shu only felt blocked in her heart.

There is not even a bed in the house, only thick straw, spread from one end of the house to the other end, the straw is covered with a layer of rags, and there are a few old and thin quilts, where these children sleep at night. place.

Such thin quilts are not enough to cover them in autumn, but these are the objects for this group of children to spend the winter.

"Last year, the children were lucky. They picked up a few unwanted quilts on the street, took them back and sewed them up, and they were able to make do with them." Wei Nan said, and sighed again, "This year there is a nobleman. With the donated silver taels, no child in the yard will be frozen to death, if... well, the little old man is greedy."

Xue Shu hooked the corners of her lips, but didn't answer.

"This is..." They stopped in front of a mottled wooden door, Xue Shu raised her eyebrows, and was about to push the door open, but Wei Nan hurriedly stood in front of the wooden door: "Girl, you can't do it! This is the backyard , the children inside are all disabled, they might scare the girl, so please ask the girl to go back!"

Xue Shu's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she couldn't hear his words, her plain hands were still stubbornly going to push the door.

"Girl," suddenly, a hand clasped her wrist, "Please ask the girl to go back."

Xue Shu blinked, and then she saw clearly that the man was the steady young man who led the way earlier.

She reacted and took a few steps back: "I'm really sorry..."

Wei Nan smiled, and pulled the young man behind him: "Miss, you are serious, let's sit in the yard and have some tea?"

"Mr. Trouble." Xue Shufu hugged Fu, and Wei Nan took a step aside flattered, and hurriedly walked ahead to lead the way.

The boy was at the end, looking at the back of the girl in front, he twirled his fingers.

In the yard, Qin Xiang was having a great time playing with the children.

She was active at first, but no one played with her in the Shangshu Mansion, she is fine now, she can be considered as addicted to the King of Kids.

Xue Shu and Wei Nan stood on the corridor for a while, seeing Wei Nan's tired face, Xue Shu hurriedly called Qin Xiang to leave together.

The two girls went out, and as soon as they turned a corner, they were no longer seen by the people in the yard.
