Chapter 229 Bible Men and Women
On December 25th, Christmas, it was snowing lightly in the sky.
If you observe it, it is not difficult to find that it always snows on Christmas every year.
Is it snowing because of Christmas, or is it snowing because of Christmas? Or is it only when it snows, can the old man on a sled ride down the snow?
Xia Xin didn't know.
He couldn't satisfy the girl's wishes like other parents, and he didn't know what Xia Ye wanted.
He could only carefully treasure the small piece of paper with beautiful handwriting in summer nights and treat it as his Christmas gift.
Of course, I also prepared a small gift for summer night.
On the bed.
Xia Xin carefully moved his little hand on his body away, got up and opened the curtains, and saw that it was covered with silver outside, which was so beautiful.
Xia Xin secretly prayed that Shu Yuewu would be so beautiful today, and that the gift would satisfy her.
Even on Christmas, Xia Xin actually wants to stay at home and rank well.
However, a freckled senior sister was very responsible and even called her in person.
Although Xia Xin actually didn't want to go there after filling out the application form, but after the other party asked for it, Xia Xin thought about it and decided to go there. After all, he often passed by with Yeye in the past.
The agreed time is 3:00 pm.
At the school gate, waiting for the school bus. The chapter is in the little chapter. It's just hey~smoke~
After seeing the total number of people, Xia Xin knew why the senior sister had to call herself specifically. There were no more people. Including the senior sister freckled, there were 6 people in total.
Xia Xin was quite surprised that Leng Xuetong could be seen here.
Leng Xuetong was obviously looking at Xia Xin in surprise. Her pearl-like eyes were confused for a moment, and then she felt relieved. Her beautiful and arrogant little face still had a cold and arrogant expression like ice and snow, and she stood on the other side with her hands in her arms.
Leng Xuetong was wearing a blue and white wool jacket, and the plush sweater inside wrapped around her slender body, making her look quite warm. She was wearing warm trousers and snow-white snow shoes.
Then there was a girl with short hair and a girl with long hair. They looked like they were friends. They were whispering all the time, and finally there was a face that looked familiar to Xia Xin.
Burling figure and square face.
Xia Xin recalled it for 10 minutes in his mind. Finally he remembered it.
This square, thick eyebrows and big eyes are not the vice president of Taekwondo Club.
I remember Leng Xuetong rejected him, "I like boys, you like girls, we can't get along with our interests." I don't know if he was betrayed by Leng Xuetong. Is there anyway? I'm surrounded by Leng Xuetong and asked about his well-being.
"Xuetong, what a coincidence, it turns out that you are here too."
"I didn't expect that we were really in tune with each other. There were 25,000 people in the school, and we could all get together. Think about it, this is a one-in-one probability."
"It feels like there is a red line in the dark..."
Leng Xuetong interrupted him in a cold voice, "Why didn't you just pass by and see it when I applied?" In one sentence, he strangled all the words of affectionate confession prepared by the vice president to his throat, and asked the vice president to say it was neither, nor did he say it.
Xia Xin almost suffered internal injuries when he laughed.
After a few people took the school bus, they had to carry a few boxes, hike for ten minutes, and walk through a muddy road before they could reach their destination.
Along the way, Freckled Senior Sister was explaining to several people that the benefits of volunteering, showing love, benefiting society, warming people's hearts, improving character, and sublimating the soul, just as soon as possible to ascend to heaven.
Xia Xin felt that the reason why she was so positive was that she was afraid that people would run away halfway, so she gave some encouragement in advance to stabilize the morale of the army, just by looking at the number of participants, you can know how unpleasant this event is.
Along the way, two other long-haired girls and short-haired girls were whispering together. The burly vice president accompanied Leng Xuetong and the freckled senior sister was talking loudly in front of her, but Xia Xin was alone.
Finally arrived at the destination, it was an orphanage with red bricks and green tiles.
The name is Children's Welfare Home, located next to the Catholic Church. It looks a bit old, with the walls falling off a little, and the welfare facilities, skateboards, swings and the like in the yard are all rusted, and they look quite down and out.
Immediately there was a woman who was in her forties or fifties, who seemed to be the dean, and she came out to chat with the senior sister Freckled.
Then several people moved the boxes on their hands into the hall, which were filled with toys, clothes, stationery and other things donated to the children.
This place is remote, with not many orphans sent here, only more than 10, and naturally not many volunteers come here.
Then the welfare home teacher brought more than a dozen children, from 6 to 13 years old, lined up in a row, blinking his pitiful eyes and waiting to give the gifts.
Xia Xin noticed that there was a little girl in red clothes walking in front of the team, about the same height as Xia Ye, who was pushed down by a fat boy, but the girl said nothing, got up, patted her butt, and quietly arrived at the end of the line.
This is not the first time Xia Xin has come to the orphanage. He often takes Xia Ye to the orphanage to volunteer. He is very aware of the children here and various situations.
Most of the children here are abandoned by their parents or have congenital defects. They are far more mature and scheming than ordinary children. Similar to poor children who are early in their careers, they will pretend to be pitiful and ask for more gifts, and they will fight and grab gifts when no one is away.
The weak seek comfort from the weaker.
Unlucky people will make others even more unfortunate and feel happiness through this.
Compared to warmth, here is more filled with coldness, cruelty, disease, hypocrisy and darkness.
And in the front row, the chance of getting good gifts was greater, so the girl was pushed away.
Then the Freckled Senior Sister was assigned tasks, and several girls were responsible for distributing gifts to the orphans, and then chatted with the children, sang and played games. The boys were responsible for going out to sweep the yard or moving some physical work such as heavy objects.
Xia Xin said nothing and went out with the vice president to sweep the yard. The ground was filled with snow and falling leaves.
The vice president obviously recognized Xia Xin. His eyes looked very unfriendly and he wanted to come to the scene to pk, but he endured it and said nothing.
However, after scanning the yard for more than ten minutes, he couldn't stand it anymore. He came here not to sweep the floor, but to approach Leng Xuetong. He couldn't waste time here. This was a rare opportunity to approach Leng Xuetong.
The vice president was filled with smiles on his face, and came over and patted Xia Xin on the shoulder and said, "This classmate, I'll leave it to you here. I'll go in and see if I have any strength to work. If they need me, they can't move them. As for you, you'll forget about the thin arms and legs. I think this sweeping floor is very suitable for you, and I'll leave the rest to you."
After saying that, without waiting for Xia Xin to agree, he put the broom on Xia Xin's hand on and hurried back to the inner room.
Moreover, although it has not snowed, as the sun sets in the evening and the cold currents invade, it is relatively remote and cold, and there is no warmth of car exhaust, so it is much colder outside than in the inner room. You can see the heat coming out of people's mouths. The hands without gloves feel like they are almost frozen.
Xia Xin glanced at the huge yard and felt that it was a huge project, which could not be completed in a short time. He didn't care much about it. He was originally here to volunteer.
Xia Xincai swept the ground for a while and found a lonely red figure who had just walked out of the room, came step by step to the swing, sat on the swing, grabbed the rope with his little hands, swaying gently, and looked at the ground with a distracted expression.
I could vaguely hear the sound of the song coming from the inner room.
Xia Xin swept step by step and came behind the girl, recognizing that this was the girl in red who had just been pushed down, wearing a shabby cotton coat.
Xia Xin asked casually while sweeping the floor, "Do you want to eat candy?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Xin with caution and said nothing.
Xia Xin took out a chocolate-scented lollipop from her pocket and handed it over. The girl saw that the candy did not take it.
Xia Xin smiled, "If you don't like eating, throw it away for me. I don't like eating candy either."
The girl hesitated and took it, but it was a pity to throw it away. Her tender little hand clumsily peeled off the candy.
Xia Xin noticed that the girl's little hands, which should have been delicate and cute, were a little red and swollen, and it should be frostbite.
The girl asked timidly, "Why are you the only one here to sweep the floor?"
Xia Xin smiled, "Just like you."
This short sentence brought the two closer together, making the girl feel that she was much closer to Xia Xin.
No matter where it is, there is always someone who plays an unsociable role, plays a bullied object, and is even rejected by everyone, because a team needs such an "alternative" enemy, a common enemy for everyone to unite everyone, and let everyone vent, find happiness, and even find happiness from her more unfortunate than herself.
This girl is obviously an "alternative" who is rejected by the team and bullied.
The girl in red sucked candy and took out the lollipop after a long time. Her bright eyes stared at Xia Xin without blinking and asked, "Will this happen when she grows up?"
The girl in red looked quiet, longing and lonely, with a mature and intelligent light far beyond her peers.
Xia Xin felt that he could not coax such a pair of eyes.
The calm and cruel answer, "Everywhere is the same. If you hold it, just hold it for a while and wait a few years and you will have a good idea when you grow up, so forget it."
“…”
The girl seemed to have this information long ago, and she accepted it calmly, and said, "That's right, you're so old, so too." After that, she continued to sip the lollipop.
Xia Xin also swept the floor and didn't say anything.
After a while, the girl seemed to say to herself, "The priest next door said that people should be happy, but I am so painful. Do you think life is always so painful?... Or is it only when I was a child?"
Xia Xin paused and said, "...it's always like this."
He never thought that he would talk about life with a girl younger than Xia Ye.
The girl stopped talking and looked at the ground with a lonely face. A light called hope gradually dissipated in her eyes.
Xia Xin sighed and asked, "Have the priest told you about the Bible?"
"Yeah, I said it."
"That's right. Do you know why people suffer? The Bible says that when God created man, he gave everyone equal happiness, but boys and girls were connected at that time, but when we came to the world, we were separated, so we felt pain because we lost our happy partner."
"Then we search and search. One day, the boy will find the girl who was originally connected to you, and the girl will also find the boy who was originally connected to you. When you get together again, your pain will disappear and you will feel happiness again."
The girl was stunned, looking at Xia Xin with a glittering look, her eyes full of hope and asked, "You mean, will someone be looking for me?"
Xia Xin smiled, "Yes, he is looking for you, of course, you can also go find him."
"But I don't know who he is?"
"It's okay, you will know it right away when you see him first, because you are originally connected."
"real?"
"real."
Suddenly, the girl narrowed her eyes and showed a satisfied and happy smile on her little face, as if she only thought about the happiness in the future and someone was looking for her, the pain in front of her now was nothing.
Xia Xin smiled on his face, but sighed in his heart, "I'm lying again, and I'm probably going to go to the hell of tongue pulling out after death."
Suddenly a light cough sounded next to it.
Xia Xinyi turned around and realized that Leng Xuetong had already stood behind him at some point, and his face turned red with embarrassment.
Chapter completed!
