Chapter 138 Children

[Don’t forget to tell me the university you chose. 】

Wu Bin replied immediately after reading it.

【OK. 】

Then there was no further news from Lin Ziqi, so Wu Bin walked to the bus stop with his suitcase.

This time Wu Bin had to go home directly, because it was almost the Chinese New Year, and no matter how spartan the school was, it would still give senior high school students a holiday during the Chinese New Year.

After getting on the bus and returning home, Wu Bin accepted his mother's usual questions and answered questions such as "Is the food there good?" "Are you tired?" "Did the teacher praise you?" "Why not?" Please take the initiative to call me more." and other questions.

"So you still don't know if you can join the national team?" Wu Bin's father, who was looking at his mobile phone, interrupted.

Wu Bin: "Well, I will call you when the results are out."

"How are you doing? Do you have the confidence to win glory for the country?" Wu Bin's father asked with a smile.

"Ouch! What are you doing, putting so much pressure on your son?" After saying that, Wu Bin's mother turned to look at Wu Bin and said, "Ignore your dad. Mom is very satisfied now. Don't put too much pressure on her."

"There's no pressure." Wu Bin smiled and waved his hands, then looked at his father and said, "I'm still very confident that I can join the team."

Naturally, Wu Bin's words could not be unreasonable. After more than a month of getting along with each other, everyone in the training class had almost an understanding of everyone else's academic ability. Wu Bin believed that he was very stable in ranking among the top three.

The other two people who could compete with him were Gong Chengwei. Wu Bin knew that this guy seemed to be his brother-in-law, but in fact he was not convinced on the inside. He used questions to test his learning progress every time, and often during evening self-study. Come up with some tricky questions and alternate them with Wu Bin.

But Wu Bin also fully recognizes Gong Chengwei's strength. The most powerful thing among them is his very strong computing ability. If Wu Bin's mathematical ability is enough for physics competitions, Gong Chengwei's mathematical ability far exceeds that of physics competitions. range.

Therefore, Wu Bin often asked him for advice in mathematics.

The second one is Zhang Fu, Hu Nan’s leading player.

He has very deep insights in mechanics and thermal science, and his acceptance speed is amazing. He often likes to discuss some side topics with Wu Bin, and the discussion lasts all night.

These are the two people who Wu Bin thinks have made the most amazing progress in the training camp. If anyone can surpass him in this exam, it should be one of these two.

Hearing Wu Bin's confident answer, Wu Bin's father nodded happily and said, "Then when you really join the national team, just call your grandpa. He will be very, very happy."

"Okay, got it."

"Oh, by the way, I brought you roast duck from Quanjude." Wu Bin said, opening the suitcase and taking out the two roast ducks that had been taken out of the packaging box.

"Oh, why are you wasting this money?" Wu Bin's mother took the roast duck and looked at it, "Can this be delicious?"

"You'll know after you try it."

Then during the meal, Wu Bin told his parents some interesting stories about Jingbei, Tiananmen and the training camp, which made them happy, and then asked: "Are the cats okay?"

"Don't worry, even if I'm hungry, I won't forget to feed them." Dad Wu Bin said and pointed to the door, "I've eaten several bags of cat food."

"Hey, thanks dad."

After giving his father a big hug, Wu Bin immediately put on his bag, picked up a large bag of cat food and several canned cats and went out.

Arriving at the familiar small park, the first thing Wu Bin saw was not a group of cats running towards him, but a group of children playing.

But when Wu Bin looked carefully, he found that these children were more or less different from normal children. How should I put it...a bit dull.

When Wu Bin saw the children, the children naturally noticed him. However, they all looked very scared and retreated towards the back.

This made Wu Bin feel a bit shocked.

"Am I so terrible..."

And just when he shook his head and was about to sit down on the bench, he saw a familiar figure surrounded by children.

‘Hey, is it her? ’

Wu Bin recognized her as the girl who was painting at a glance and waved to her.

The girl also noticed Wu Bin, nodded politely towards him, and waved her hand.

Because there were too many strangers, Wu Bin could feel that the cats were hiding in the nearby haystacks, so he poured the cat food in a relatively hidden place.

Sure enough, as soon as they heard the sound of cat food rushing out of the packaging bag, a group of cats ran over from all directions, first rubbing against Wu Bin, and then starting to eat the food.

After petting the cats he had not seen for a long time, Wu Bin stood up with satisfaction. When he looked at the girl again, he found that there were two more girls beside her.

The two people saw Wu Bin looking over, smiled at him, and shouted: "Hello, I heard that you are our friend Fang Qing?"

‘Fang Qing? Is that the girl's name? ’

Wu Bin nodded towards them after thinking about it.

The two girls laughed for a while after reading it, and then said, "Let's chat for a while." After that, they said to the children, "Classmates, come over and gather together. Let's go to the pool over there to play."

After hearing this, the children immediately followed the two girls and went to the fountain.

"So you are a teacher, do you teach art?" After the children left, Wu Bin walked up and said hello to Fang Qing.

After hearing this, Fang Qing smiled and shook her head, then took off the drawing board behind her and wrote on it.

[I am only volunteering during my vacation]

'volunteer? ’

Now Wu Bin understood. No wonder those children were different from ordinary children.

Looking at Wu Bin's confused expression, Fang Qing wrote on the drawing board again.

[They are children from the orphanage]

"Oh...that's it." After hearing this, Wu Bin looked at the children again, feeling suddenly uncomfortable.

Welfare home...isn't it what people often call an orphanage?

Wu Bin: "Oh, by the way, thank you for the painting you gave me last time. I like it very much."

【I'm glad you like me】

A smile was drawn next to the words.

Then Wu Bin opened his school bag and took out a box of colored pens. "I always thought that I would return the gift next time I see you, so I kept it in my school bag. It's not an expensive gift. I hope you can accept it."

Fang Qing waved her hands quickly after reading it and wrote.

[That painting is to thank you for helping me keep the cats last time. You don’t need to thank me anymore]

"Then... then think of it as an investment in your ability to draw better paintings for me. I really think your paintings are very good."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then finally reached out and took it, and wrote.

[Thank you, then I will accept it. I will try my best to draw better. 】

"I'm looking forward to it very much." After saying that, Wu Bin looked at the children not far away and said, "I won't affect your work. Goodbye."

After speaking, he waved towards Fang Qing.

Fang Qing also nodded and waved towards him.

Watching Fang Qing walk back to the children, Wu Bin found a bench to sit down and let out a sigh of relief. What flashed through his mind were the dull expressions of the children.

So when Fang Qing and two other girls were playing with the children, they found Wu Bin suddenly running over to them and saying, "I...can I play with the children too?"

The three girls were obviously stunned for a moment, and then the girl with short hair spoke first: "Okay... but you can't speak too loudly."

"Well, I understand."

After Wu Bin finished speaking, he knelt down and showed a big smile to the children who were still wary of him.

Although those children didn't take the initiative to come to play with Wu Bin, they were finally not as nervous as before.

The entertainment of these children is very simple. Some are counting ants on the ground, some are putting their folded paper boats into the pool and playing with them, and some are playing the game of rock, paper, scissors.

In the end, until the short-haired girl told Wu Bin that they were going back, no child came close to Wu Bin.

[They are just a little afraid of strangers] Fang Qing wrote on the drawing board.

"I know." Wu Bin whispered back.

Then the three girls said "goodbye" to Wu Bin and left with the children. Just when Wu Bin was about to look away and go back to sit, he suddenly saw two little girls turning around and showing their white teeth. He waved his hand.

Wu Bin laughed immediately and waved to them both.

Finally, when they completely disappeared from Wu Bin's sight, Wu Bin sat back on the bench. Because the stranger left, the cats who had finished their food immediately returned to Wu Bin.

The VIP seat on Wu Bin's lap was occupied by a big black and white cat. He yawned and then fell asleep.

After touching its fur, Wu Bin was still thinking about the faces of those children.

"Meow~"

A white cat seemed to sense that Wu Bin was worried, so it rubbed his hand and then turned its belly toward him.

"Thank you for your comfort." Wu Bin scratched the white cat's forehead, took out a can from his backpack and placed it next to it.

As soon as the cats who were lying down and resting heard the sound of cans, they all jumped up, looking as excited as if they hadn't eaten anything at all just now.

"A bunch of greedy cats~"

After Wu Bin finished speaking, he opened the second can with a smile.

After opening all the cans he brought, Wu Bin took out the C language book from his schoolbag and started reading.

I have been studying physics for more than a month, so I naturally wanted a change when I returned home.

Maybe it was because he hadn't read it for a while. When he read the C language book this time, Wu Bin found it more interesting than before, and he quickly became immersed in it.

The next day, after Wu Bin finished cleaning the house, he went to the park again. After feeding the cat as usual, he took out a book and started reading.

But before he looked at it for long, Wu Bin felt a tap on his shoulder.

Wu Bin looked back and saw that it was Fang Qing who was carrying a drawing board.

"Huh? Do you have a day off today?" Wu Bin asked in surprise.

[No, I was planning to go to the orphanage. I walked by here and saw you. 】

"Oh, are you in a hurry?"

Fang Qing shook her head.

"Then...can you sit down and chat for a while? I have something to ask."

Fang Qing nodded and sat down next to Wu Bin.

"Well...how is the environment in the orphanage?" Wu Bin asked.

[It’s very good. The teachers are very kind and the children are very sensible. 】

After Wu Bin chatted with Fang Qing for a while, he almost had a general understanding of the orphanage.

It doesn't have a bright hall like in some movies, where beautiful little boys and girls dance or play with each other under the piano played by the teacher.

It's not like in some movies where there are rusty iron windows, dim lights and mushy food everywhere.

Just like ordinary schools, they have a clear division of labor. There are administrative posts responsible for child adoption and foster care, and support posts such as drivers, electricians, cleaners, and chefs.

There are also specialized positions like the two girls yesterday, including doctors, nurses, social workers, and teachers.

The biggest difference between the orphanage and other schools is that almost all the children there have various defects.

Such as cerebral palsy, congenital heart disease, a disease that is almost a death sentence, or severe facial and physical deformities.

There are also parents who cannot continue to assume the responsibility of guardians for some reasons, such as abducted and trafficked children who cannot find their biological parents, or biological parents who are in jail for murder and drug trafficking, etc.

However, if the parents are no longer able to serve as guardians, the administrative department of the orphanage will immediately publish a newspaper to solicit adopters from the society. As long as they are not sick, they will almost always be adopted.

So in the end, the only ones left in the orphanage will be children with deformities, cerebral palsy, and severely ill children.

The children Wu Bin saw yesterday were all children between the ages of 8 and 12 who were relatively able to interact with others, including children with Down syndrome, mental retardation, physical disabilities, blind children, etc. This was considered to be a very high level in the welfare home. Awesome.

That’s why I can occasionally take them out for outdoor activities, but most of them can’t leave their rooms at all.

Wu Bin was greatly shocked after hearing this. This was something he had never been exposed to during his healthy growth. However, in fact, they were right next to Wu Bin, in an orphanage three roads away from here.

"I...can I do something to help them?"

After hearing this, Fang Qing smiled at him and wrote.

[They are easily satisfied. As long as someone can accompany them, they will be very happy. 】

[Of course, what they want most is a home. 】

Wu Bin lowered his head and remained silent. He could totally imagine what kind of family would adopt a sick child? With such a serious disease, maybe owning a home is really just a distant dream for them.

[It's a bit late, I should go there. 】

Looking at what was written on the drawing board, Wu Bin nodded immediately, and then asked curiously: "Why don't you type on your mobile phone? That would be faster."

[Because I think writing can convey my feelings better, they are my voice. 】

"Well...that's true." Wu Bin nodded, "Your voice is very nice."

【Thanks. ] Fang Qing put away her drawing board and walked towards the park.

PS: I finished this big chapter in one go and recalled a lot of things. Go to sleep. See you all tomorrow.
