After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 87 Support
"Whose cooking here is so delicious?"

Looking around, the children were all circling around a man, holding dried vegetables in their hands, and there was a gleam of dawn in their empty eyes.

"Uncle, I'll help you." Xiao Ran stretched out his dirty little hand, not forgetting to help He Yu.

"Xiaoling, help the children wash their hands."

Immediately afterwards, He Yu bent over and lowered his head to look at Xiao Ran, "Xiao Ran, go and take your younger brothers and sisters to wash their hands with sister Xiao Ling. I will do this, you go and sit in the room."

The children were more obedient, and under the leadership of Miao Ling, they kept scrubbing their little hands. A stream of dirty water flowed into the sewer, and the biting cold water made the children tremble.

Fast forward to winter, the water is getting cooler, and several children are still wearing short-sleeved summer clothes.

The biting cold water washed the children's little hands red.

Miao Ling wiped off the water stains on the children's hands, and then called to the children, "Come on, let's go in and eat."

He Yu washed a few pairs of chopsticks, distributed them to each of the children, and sat down by herself.

Today's meal is very simple, but it is a big meal for the children.

On the table are braised pork, fried pork with cabbage, steamed buns with white noodles, spicy cabbage, and a big pot of steamed eggs.

Xiao Ran looked at the delicious food on the table, she didn't dare to move her chopsticks at all, because people are poor and ambitious, and she also knew that these things were all given by Uncle He Yu.

"Children, why don't you eat?"

Xiao Ran didn't move, and the other children didn't move either, they were all staring greedily.

"My brother hasn't come back yet. I want to wait for my brother to come back and eat."

After Xiao Ran spoke, the other children also nodded, "Wait for brother to come back."

Normally, when Xiao Ran was going to school, she would always bring school meals, so that they would have an extra dish at night.

"Xiao Ran, when will your brother come back and what does he do?"

Xiao Ran shook his head, "My brother won't tell."

That's right, no matter how hard and tiring the work, taking the least amount of money, I don't want to worry my family members, not to mention that Xiao Ran has to study and spend more, which makes a family that is not rich even worse.

"It's okay, let's eat first."

The children couldn't hold back in the end, and started to eat voraciously. Seeing how delicious the four children were eating, He Yu watched quietly.

Sometimes, it's a little bit of help.

Some people may say that He Yu is stupid, helping someone who has nothing to do with him may not be looked at by others when he needs help, but even so, so what, at least he can live with his conscience, and these things don't cost much. .

The help was voluntary, and it was not forced by Xiao Ran's family. For He Yu, it was only a modest effort.

When Xiao Li came back, He Yu and the children had already eaten half of the food.

"elder brother!"

Xiao Ran excitedly called out to his brother whom he had not seen for a day.

Xiao Li stood at the door, looking at He Yu and Miao Ling with a straight face, "You are..."

"We are friends of Teacher Xiao Ran. My name is He Yu. Are you her brother? We learned something about your family from Teacher Ran, so we came to see Xiao Ran."

He Yu beckoned, "Come, let's eat together."

Xiao Li wiped his hands on his clothes, and then sat down politely. He looked at the dishes on the table, a little at a loss, so he turned to look at He Yu, "Brother He Yu, the money for these vegetables..."

Xiao Li was a little nervous, because he had never seen such a rich food, and thought it should be expensive.

"It's okay, just eat! You don't need money, this is what I invite you to eat."

"Brother, Uncle Xiaoyu and Sister Xiaoling are very nice people." The other children said.

"Hey." Xiao Li wiped away his bitterness, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

By the way, he ate and gave back to his younger brothers and sisters, "Eat enough."

It's hard to think about how full a sentence is. It seems like how many days the children have been hungry.

"Not enough. There are still vegetables and steamed buns in the pot. Xiao Ran was afraid that you might not be able to eat them if you came back late, so I told her, I made it, and I will be full! That's when I felt relieved."

Xiao Li ate with tears in his eyes.

After a long time, after several children were full, Xiao Li bowed to He Yu very gratefully.

This startled He Yu, "Xiao Li, ask something."

He Yu brought Xiao Li to the door, and asked in a low voice, "What do you do now?"

Xiao Li glanced at He Yu, but was embarrassed to say.

"Okay, how much is your monthly salary? You can always say this, right?"

"20 yuan."

"Is it enough?" He Yu asked.

At this time, Xiao Li was silent. There were five people in their family, and their expenses were not enough.

"Xiao Li, what would you most like to do if you left to raise your younger brothers and sisters?"

Xiao Li said without hesitation, "Go to school."

Xiao Li started working after graduating from elementary school. In order to support his younger siblings, he didn't even dare to stop for a moment.

"Okay, I'll give you a chance, I'll give you 300 yuan."

Hearing this, Xiao Li was stunned.

"I will be responsible for your family's living expenses until you reach adulthood, and I will pay for the tuition fees of all the children in the family. It is up to you to work hard on what degree you can get."

Xiao Li was stunned by He Yu's words, he couldn't believe that the man in front of him was so young yet so rich.

"Brother He Yu, are you telling the truth?"

Xiao Li couldn't believe it, it was impossible for a pie to fall from the sky.

"Of course what I said is true." He Yu took out a wad of money and held it in his hand.

"But there are conditions. Give me your house, and I will fulfill the above conditions one by one."

Although these houses are publicly owned, He Yu thought about signing the right to use them with Xiao Li for the five children to study, eat and drink.

"feasible?"

Xiao Li glanced at the house and said in a low voice, "You won't drive us out, will you?"

"will not."

He Heyu took out another 300 yuan from his bag, and handed it all to Xiao Li for 500 yuan.

"Don't be afraid, if I dare to drive you away, you just let me into the game."

Xiao Li nodded.

He Yu gave Miao Ling five yuan to take the other children out to buy sweets, leaving He Yu and Xiao Li in the house.

After signing the agreement, He Yu took out some bills and told Xiao Li, "Take these, and replace the ones that should be replaced at home."

"And this matter has to be kept secret. Just now you signed it in black and white, so don't talk about it everywhere. This is a secret between you and me, understand?"

Xiao Li nodded.

"Xiao Li, do you really want to study? You can also go to a technical secondary school."

Xiao Li shook his head at this moment, "I used to think about it very much, but I want to learn a craft more, so that I won't be hungry."

He Yu thought for a while and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to be a projectionist."

"The projectionists make money!"

What Xiao Li thought was very beautiful. Being a projectionist is such a beautiful job, and it is very difficult for anyone who is not a veteran to realize it.

"The projectionists are good, but they're just popular now."

"You have to learn crafts, go to a technical secondary school, and learn cooking."

Cooks are also very popular today.
